Chapter 25
Zale
Amanda sat in between my legs, curled up on my chest. Those two idiots of mine were taking their
damn time. "Hey," I whispered into her ear. I couldn't wait any longer.
She yawned at me, opening her eyes slowly. The tenseness that had been visible in her earlier had
drained away. Whatever nightmares had cursed her before had left her alone at long last. "Zale?" she
mumbled my name sleepily.
Possessiveness flooded through me and it took all my strength to not just toss her on the bed and
indulge in her once more. But there wasn't time for that, not yet. "You need to mark me, Amanda. I'm
not letting you get away with only having Javier under your control. You bear my mark now, which
means I need yours too."
Besides, I wanted more insight into her mind. Maybe she couldn't tell me how she was able to get rid of
a mark, but there had to be an answer somewhere. Maybe it was something her wolf could provide.
That wasn't such an easily done thing, such intervention could only be divinely done.
Amanda nodded, perfectly willing to be my obedient Luna once more. Soon the power of my mate
would pulse in every cell. "Where?" she asked, glancing over my body.
"Right here," I ordered showing her a spot on my throat. "I want everyone that sees me to know that I
belong to you, and that you belong to me, my sweet Luna. Especially when we go to visit that old pack
of yours."
She tensed, her fingers tracing the path on my throat. "Even though you've claimed me, he won't let me
go that easily, Zale."
I chuckled. "You let me worry about that. Besides, he, whoever he is, has never came into contact with
a Prime. Once I have my full power, your pack will live in fear of me. Any that have harmed you will be
slowly tortured for the rest of their days, bits and pieces of them cut off to fertilize our lands."
She relaxed against me, putting her lips against my throat and biting in without hesitation. Her fangs
slipped into my skin and the powers bonding us together flowed through each other as we became
complete. She and her wolf blazed like an inferno in my mind. Exactly as it always should be.
"One more," I told her, kissing her forehead. "You did a good job, Amanda. You've got one more mark
to give out and to receive and you'll be completely tied together with me and my mates."
She shifted on my lap, lying her cheek against my shoulder. "Does that mean the Goddess didn't give
you to me?"
"Huh?" I couldn't quite glance at her but frowned at her question. 'Why are you asking that? It's obvious
you're mine, woman."
"You've got other mates. I must not be that special or important to you." her hand reached up, brushing
against her shoulder. Is that where he old mark once was branded? I'd find that bastard and break his
teeth one at a time for every touching something that wasn't his. Then I'd let the other two loose on
him. Whoever he was, we would make him suffer.
I almost snorted at her words. "I've chosen other mates, you're still the only one that was given to me
by the Goddess. Just consider it was more than one Alpha willing to lay their lives down for you.
Because you were born to be my equal in every way, only a special woman can be the Queen of a
Prime, and that's you, Amanda. I don't give a fuck about what you went through before you found your
way to me. All I care about is you belong to me in every aspect of the word."
She settled back down. "I don't understand," she mumbled. "I'm nothing special."
I growled at her. "Woman, I said you are, and that's all you need to know. Besides, you're not the one
that gets to decide your worth, I do. You'll understand when the full mantle of your position falls on your
shoulders."
I was saved from having to talk more as the door opened and Javier and Bo slipped in. Both smelled Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
like exquisite sex and I growled low in my throat eager for another round with anyone who had a willing
hole. I was far from done but my little mate couldn't take anymore, just yet.
"Not even a knock?" I scolded Bo.
He grinned at me. "Where would the fun in that be?" He crawled onto the bed on the other side of
Amanda, stroking her back in a lazy massage. "It's my turn, isn't it?" he demanded, glancing at me for
approval. I nodded and he wasted no time in letting his fangs protrude and sink into the back of her
shoulder.
She tensed beneath him, her hands turning into fists against me as she struggled to not cry out from
the pain. I knew she'd be okay though, she was my mate, and the Goddess wouldn't have given me
someone that couldn't handle me. I watched as her skin took on the dark marks and coat of arms that
would introduce her as belonging to Bo. It fit well, and it pleased me knowing he'd picked the spot she'd
been touching. Yet another memory of her past we were stripping away from her.
When we were done there would be no Amanda from the past. The former woman that lived another
life wouldn't exist, only my strong brave Luna would, the woman that would help me raze down the rest
of the planet if I so wished it. The Queen at my side and prepared to raise our pups. No one else would
do, and we were deliciously close to her being unsealed. "Take him, Amanda," I ordered, grabbing a
handful of Bo's hair and moving it out of the way. "Bite him right here, on the thin skin of his chest,
make him bleed for us."
Bo didn't fight my order, he let his head fall back, eyes half-shut as he awaited. This would be out last
time together for a few days, and we had to make it count.
