Raya’s POV He asked me the questions I was most afraid of. Of course I wanted to be his mate, but the threat of his goddess given mate showing up hung heavy over my head. I would love nothing more than to be his and he be mine, but can I really handle it when he inevitably leaves me for his mate? “Of course I want to, Dane. I want to so badly, but I’m scared,” I admitted, staring at my hands. Dane slowly reached his hand out, gently grabbing my chin and turning me so that I was looking into his golden eyes. I had missed those eyes, this hand, his presence, all of him. “What if you find your mate?”  “You are mate,” he responded instantly, not a sliver of hesitation. “I am almost certain you are my goddess given mate, but even if you weren’t, you’re the only one for me, Raya.”

Raya's POV"You see my dear, Raya, when your first brother was born I had a pack created, one I bestowed immense power to. Each time Orion and I would have a child they would make their way to this pack to rule and be protected. My children are not made to have kids of their own, so once they die of old age, the alpha rules until the next child of mine comes. During the absence of one of my children, a terrible warlock was chosen for the pack. He got too power hungry and killed the Alpha and Luna, leaving your mate to float down the river.""Dane is my actual mate?" I know there was so many important things she had just said, but my mind chose to focus on that bit first. "Yes, sweetheart. Since you are now to be my last child with Orion, you will be my only child able to bear children, leaving descendants with

Raya's POVThis pack was so beautiful, more than I could have ever imagined, but I could feel their pain mixed in with their pride. There was something keeping them from being truly happy. I've determined that I will figure out what it is and help solve it. These are my people now too, and I will help Dane rule with understanding and power. Dane held me close through the night, but I could feel his insatiable hunger for me. Honestly, I was feeling it, too, but was too sore to act on it. I am hoping that doesn’t last long, because I want him all the time. I awoke to a beautifully colorful ray of sunshine through the large glass stained window. When I saw the large window yesterday, I was extremely happy. The small drab windows at the Eclipse Moon Pack were not missed in the slightest. However, my chest did tighten when I thought of Hunter. I wish the

Raya’s POVIf I had ever felt beautiful in my life, standing in the same room as this woman made the feeling disappear entirely. She was tall and skinny with beautiful curves, but there wasn’t an inch of weakness to her. Her muscles flexed as she crossed her arms at Garret and narrowed her eyes at him. Whoever she was, it was clear she wasn’t intimidated by anyone. Not only that, she knew she was beautiful and she flaunted it. Her shirt dove between her breast and up over her stomach, meeting in a knot in the center over her abdomen. It revealed her toned abs and her large breasts. “You’re so infuriating.” Garret huffed, clearly realizing he was not going to win. “I never said I wasn’t.” She rolled her eyes, unaffected by Garret’s words. “

Elliot’s POV“Where is she?” I yelled at the lowly wolves around me. As usual Hunter hung back in a corner, silent. “We lost track of her in the woods after she–” Brenda paused, seeming unsure of what she was about to say.“Spit it out!” My patience was low. I wanted Raya found this instant. She is mine, meant to be with me by my side. Her blessing could help this pack more than any of them know. The moon can heal curses and if Raya really is blessed, as the oracle said, then her blessing could help weaken this curse on us all.  “She changed, Alpha. Her hair whitened and she began to wield magic. I was pushed back into a tree by the air itself. I am not sure what she is, but her scent changed as well.
