"So, how many points we going for?"
"How about first to five?"
He then surprises me by moving quickly, sliding his hand behind my neck and pulling me into him, kissing me deeply. He then lets me go and smiles as he says,
"That's two!"
I let my temper get to me as I go to slap him. He grabs my wrist and pulls me towards him again, turning me so that I am trapped in his arms with my back against his chest. He leans down and kisses his mark. I can't stop the moan that escapes as tingles and pleasure spread through me down from his mark... He then moves his lips to my ear and whispers,
"I love this side of you... That makes three!"
"Really..."
I shiver as he runs his nose back down my neck. I move to turn in his arms and he loosens his grip just a little to allow me to do so. I look into his eyes as I ask,
"Did you mean what you said about me being your Queen?"
"Yes, and I meant it when I said I would do anything for you..."
I look at him confused,"You see, when one of us finds our mate and marks them, the whole pack can feel the new connection that has been started. Normal mates can take as long as they need to complete the mating and then once both the mating and marking is complete, the connection is complete, and it makes not only the mated couple stronger but the entire pack as well. Now when an Alpha, Beta or Gamma marks his or her mate it has a really strong effect on the rest of the pack, so they usually tried to complete both the marking and mating as soon as possible or it can have a negative effect on the other members of the pack. Now when I marked you I started the connection of not only us being mates but of you being my pack's Luna. Everyone could feel that they had a Luna but because you had so much fight and then Valentino took you, making you scared of all of us. That fear and separation weakened the slight connection I had started with my mark. I then had to start again with earning yo
Tears spring to my eyes as he didn't hold back. Raphael shoots out his arm and catches me, stopping me from falling to the ground. I am surprised when 90% of the beasts standing around us all start growling. I guess some of these beasts don't agree with hitting a female. Once I am steady, Raphael looks at me and whispers,"Are you okay?"I nod, giving him a small smile. He then removes his hands and steps back, just as I send a hard right hook straight into his jaw. I then bring up my foot kicking him in the balls and as he then bends slightly forward holding himself, I drop into my crouch and sweep his legs out from under him, making him land on his back on the grass. Everyone cheers!But as I step away from him he grabs my ankle and pulls making me fall face-first to the ground, he then moves onto his knees wrapping one of his arms around my waist and the other around my neck pulling me up and back into his chest and then up to my feet as he gets to his. He then runs his nose along
Raphael enters behind us but stands up against the wall just inside the door. I face Rania as Zachariah and Malik start to talk between them, and say,"Do you think the guys would allow us to take that walk around the castle?"She smiles and looks over at Malik and Zachariah. She then turns back to me as she gets to her feet. She holds out her hands and I take them. She pulls carefully, helping me stand. Once the pain has passed, I look over at Malik and Zachariah, who have stopped talking and are now watching us. Malik is the one to ask,"Sweetheart, where are you going?""I promised to take Yasmine on a tour of the castle...""After Thomas's reaction, I would like someone to go with you..."He seems to get a faraway look on his face for just a moment, and then he goes back to talking with Zachariah. A few moments later, there is a knock on the doorframe. I look over just as he speaks."Alpha? You wanted to see me?""Ahh, good Brett. I would like you to accompany Luna Rania and Luna
I know I should keep my mouth shut, and it's something my grandmother kept warning me about, but I wouldn't be me if I did."What's wrong? Come back for a rematch? Can't handle the fact that a female beat the crap out of you twice?" This angers him just a little more, as he growls, "I will teach you that lesson I promised, a female's place is in the house, cooking, cleaning and pleasing her mate no matter what time of day or what he wants her to do... How about we make your first lesson one of pleasure?? Come over here and suck my dick, make me come in your mouth!""Ewe... Gross, I am not putting that thing in my mouth or anywhere else... Who knows where it has been... Are you even sure it still works after this morning?"He growls at my reminder of what I did to his dick as he loses a little more of his patience, saying,"I said come over here and pleasure me... Now do as you are told! Female!!""Sorry, but I am not one of your little submissive, push about females. The only way yo
He looks at her and then at me, bows his head and walks out the door, closing it behind him, but I see him stop and stand in front of the door through the clouded glass. Ava then turns back to me,"Do you mind if we take this off?"I hesitate for a moment. I don't like anyone seeing my scars. They remind me that I failed to protect myself when I got taken by Valentino. The only one to have really seen them is Zachariah, but I still don't feel comfortable with even him seeing them, as my body is no longer beautiful because of them. I reluctantly remove my shirt, allowing her to see the damage done. I don't miss as her eyes go wide at the scars, but she doesn't say anything about them."Can you lay down? I will need to re-clean the gashes from this morning and clean the new scratches. I will also need to reapply the healing cream and restitch the gashes... Is that okay?""Of course."Another small wave of heat goes through me, and I don't miss the low growl that comes from the other sid
I look up at Ava as I continue, "When I got back to my grandmother's hut as the sun started to rise, I decided as I climbed back in my window that I would never tell anyone as the Elders saw all wolves as threats as they were too close to the beasts that would raid our village once every five years. I never saw the bully again. I heard he and the rest of his family left the village. After that night, I would sneak out of the house every full moon, attend the bonfire with my friends, and then go for a walk. Just after the moon would reach its peak, the wolf would join me. Sometimes I would walk around the woods, others we would find a nice spot and I would lie down with him and run my hand in his fur while telling him everything that had happened over the month... When I was with him, I never felt as alone as I did when he wasn't near me. It was good as he could never judge me for being different, the only time he ever seemed to complain was when I would remove my hand from his fur...
I walk up to the railing, lean on the surface and look down at the beasts, all training. I start to wonder when I will be able to get back into training. I am startled when there is a soft knock on the door behind me. I turn, straighten and then smile."Morning Rania!""Morning yourself. How are you feeling?""Not bad, considering. Is Zachariah with Malik?""Yes, they have a few things to discuss... Especially after what happened to you..."I look at her in shock and ask, "Happened to me? Zachariah isn't in trouble because of me, is he?""Oh, no, no, no... After Brett removed you from the courtyard, Zachariah fought and killed Thomas..."I put one of my hands to my mouth and the other around my waist as my stomach rolls a little. I whisper,"He killed him??""Yes, and I would do it again. I told you no one would ever touch you as I do and if they did, I would kill them!"I lower my hand from my mouth as my eyes snap to Zachariah at the sound of his voice as he walks out onto the balco
I shake my head at myself and sigh. I remove the dress just as Rania opens the curtain, saying,"Here I think..."She stops mid-sentence with a gasp. I realise then that my back is to her and fully uncovered. I grab the dress from the floor, pulling it to me so that it covers the front of me as I turn and shrink back into one of the corners. I always knew my scars were bad. I just didn't know how bad, as Zachariah wouldn't tell me. He would just say that I was beautiful, no matter what."Yasmine?? How?? When?? Who??""M... m... my p... pu... punishment for protecting Z... Za... Zachariah..."She looks sad, concerned, and confused. "Why would you be punished for protecting him? Did he do this?"Even with tears in my eyes, I snap them to hers in disbelief."No, no, no, no, Zachariah didn't...""Who?""You know how Zachariah said I ended up with Valentino?""Yes... What about it?""Well, he kept me in a dark cell and he would torture me every day by whipping my back and front. He always
