Living with Kurt is still taking me time to get used to. It’s been two months now, and I still get nervous. I know my hesitation in moving forward with completing the bond is grinding on Bastet’s nerves. And if I’m annoying my own wolf, I can imagine what I’m doing to Kurt and Godric. It’s not that I don’t want to. It’s just, well, I never really had the sex talk with mo… with Sakina.
And even if I had, I’d still be afraid. I’ve seen Kurt naked, both flaccid and hard. I don’t see how that’s going to fit. ‘Oh, it will fit, and we will revel in the full feeling he’ll give us.’ Bastet licked her lips.
I sighed. ‘Are all wolves horny creatures?’ I questioned. ‘No. And I’m not simply a horny creature. It is in my nature to want to complete the mating process. Once we’ve done that and finished going into heat, I won’t be as pent up. But till then, I’m going to continue filling your mind with images of Kurt’s impressive cock.’ she shrugged.
I sighed. Great. Until I am finally mentally ready to have sex with Kurt, my mind will be 24/7 Kurt porn. ‘Why are you not ready? You obviously care very much for him. You were in love with him before I brought us to him in London. So what’s the problem? You love him. He loves you. He wants you. You want him.’ Bastet questioned.
‘I’m not good enough for him.’ I lamented. I'm delighted I can finally talk to her. I’ve never had someone I could talk to about this stuff. I’ve always told Kurt basically everything. But I can’t talk to him about him or my own hangups about our relationships.
Bastet scoffed. ‘How on earth did you come to that conclusion? You were born to be his mate. We were born to be with him just as he was born to be with us. Who are you to say the moon goddess is wrong?’
‘I’m not saying that. It’s just. Bastet, look at me. I was a subpar hunter born into a family of famous hunters. Look at everything my m… that Sakina did. Her blood runs through my veins. I’m a half-breed, a hybrid, whatever. How am I supposed to be a Luna? To be the sort of mate Kurt needs to take the rings of his grandmother’s disgraced pack? No wolf is going to want to follow him with me at his side.’ I frowned, sinking deeper into the bathwater.
‘What Sakina did is inexcusable. But she is not you, and while yes, the Adio blood runs in your veins, it also runs in Sarael’s. And she’s taken to being a Beta female seamlessly. Sakina is no better than Seigfried. If those fucks who’d willingly follow a bastard like him have an issue following us, we put them in their place.’ Bastet snorted.
‘Bastet…” I sighed. ‘No, you need to listen to me, Isis. All the shit Sakina said to you growing up was bullshit. It was her insecurities and fear because she never wanted her dark secret to come to light. And if she hadn’t had me bound, you’d have been stronger even before I woke up. Now you have me, and we are strong. We are a Luna, and we have the power equal to an Alpha.’ Bastet tried to psych me up.
I sighed as I heard a soft knock at the door. “Hey, babe. Not looking to rush you. But there is only one bathroom in the apartment.” Kurt’s voice called out. I chuckled softly. “I’ll be right out.” I called out as I pulled the plug. I sighed, getting out of the tub grabbing a towel to dry off.
‘You should have just invited him to join us.’ Bastet teased. I rolled my eyes as I slipped my robe on and wrapped the towel around my hair. “Sorry I took so long.” I apologized, stepping out of the bathroom. “You don’t need to apologize.” Kurt shook his head.
He's such a sweetheart. And he’s so patient with me. “I should go get dressed. You said we were going on a date. Right?” I asked. “Mhm. As long as you’re still up for it.” he nodded. “Any hints on what I should wear?” I asked. He’d been secretive about this date.
And looking at what he’s wearing isn’t giving me many clues. He’s wearing black jeans with a blue button-down with the top three buttons left open, showing just a hint of his chest. ‘He looks hot.’ Bastet purred. “Wear what will make you feel the most comfortable.” Kurt suggested.
“Pajamas are the most comfortable.” I teased. “And you look gorgeous in them. But we will be in public, so maybe not your cute hello kitty PJs.” he winked. I laughed softly, shaking my head. “Fine. You seem to be dressy casual. I’ll try to match.” I sighed. “Sounds good. Meet you in the living room.” he smiled, giving me a quick kiss ducking into the bathroom.
I sighed and went to the bedroom and started trying to decide what to wear. I don’t have a lot, just a few pieces I’ve picked up while we were traveling in Europe. I ended up putting on dark wash skinny jeans, an aqua roused blouse, and a pair of brown ankle boots that I knew would go well with my brown leather jacket.
“Wow…” Kurt’s mouth was hanging open slightly when I walked out, putting in my dangly earrings. I’d brushed my hair out and put it up into a messy bun. “Hmm?” I cocked my head. “You look gorgeous.” Kurt smiled, making me blush. “Oh… um, thank you. It’s not like you haven’t seen this outfit or at least the individual pieces before.” I smiled, getting my coat.
“Doesn’t matter. You are always gorgeous.” Kurt smiled, taking my hand. The sparks of our bond send a jolt of calming pleasure, I know oxymoron, through me. Every time he touches me, my heart skips, and if I’m honest, pussy clench. But this time, I felt a surge of calm and realized it was because he wanted me to be relaxed.
I hope that I have had a similar effect on him. ‘We do. Or at least we can when that’s the energy we put out. You know once we complete the bond, it won’t even require touching to affect his mood or for him to affect yours.’ Bastet pointed out. I rolled my eyes because I just wanted to enjoy our date and not keep thinking about completing the mate bond.
I”m surprised to see we are leaving Mount Hood. Since arriving in Oregon, the only time we’ve left the capital city of the Bloodmoon Pack has been to see my Aunt Sarael. But now that she’s moving into Mount Hood with Uncle John, we won’t have to leave even to do that.
I couldn’t help but smile as we passed the ‘Now Leaving Mount Hood’ sign. But for as happy as I am to explore beyond the city limits, I’m terrified. I know there are possibly still hunters out there.
Maybe even my own brother lurking in the shadows. And if I’m not worried about the hunters, there are the disgruntled members of the Syndicate who’d like nothing more than to kill Kurt and take the role of Alpha.
“We’ll be safe.” Kurt assured me as if he could read my mind. ‘More like body language. Girl, you get any tenser, he’s going to think we are a mannequin.’ Bastet sighed.
I sighed, trying to relax as he reached over, placing his hand on my leg. “I promise. And while I like the idea of a date just us. It’s a double date.” he admitted.
I furrowed my brow. “Who are we doubling with?” I questioned. “Mikali and Annai. And before you asked, Alpha said it was okay. Luna Aurelia isn’t going anywhere without him, so her guards are free.” Kurt smiled.
“It’ll be fun." As much as I wanted to be alone with Kurt, the fact that we’d have Mikali, one of the Luna guards, with us does make me feel better. "I’ve enjoyed getting to know Annai and some of the other females who are mated to your friends.” I smiled.
“So you aren’t mad?” Kurt asked, pulling into a parking spot at the movie theater. “Of course not. And oo we’re going to see a movie?” I smiled, glad I didn’t overdress for this date.
“Mhm. Mikali is one of my best friends, and I don’t mind double dates. But at least in a movie theater, we get the semblance of privacy in the dark.” Kurt winked, climbing out of the car.
I laughed, shaking my head, taking his hand as we headed for the entrance. I was looking around for the familiar faces of Mikali and Annai when we came to a sudden stop.
I looked around and realized why we had stopped before even getting out to the sidewalk. A woman with a black pixie cut with purple streaks, sharp piercing blue eyes, and sharp facial features dressed like she only shops at HotTopic or is an extra in an Underworld movie was standing in front of us.
Dressed in black ripped skinny jeans, black brocade long sleeve high collar five-button irregular hem top, and black leather thigh-high boots. Even her makeup was dark, dark purple eyeshadow, black eyeliner, black lipstick. She was not playing up her features more like sharpening them.
Four males were otherwise surrounding us, putting Bastet on edge and ready for a fight. Especially as the female folded her arms and narrowed her eyes at me before looking at Kurt like he was a piece of meat and she was hungry. ‘Rip her throat out.’ Bastet encouraged. “Get out of our way, Noya.” Kurt growled.
Noya? This is Noya? The Syndicate extremist. The one most loyal to Siegfried. I’ve heard about her over the years. Initially, it was weird that Kurt would talk about some crazy girl who thought his biological father was some messiah or whatever.
After finding out he’s a werewolf and so am I, it made more sense. Noya was a loyal follower of Siegfried. And since he died, she’s wanted that power.
“I’m here to make you an offer.” Noya coldly spoke. “You have nothing we want. So the answer is no.” Kurt answered, his anger barely contained.
“You’re going to listen to what I have to offer, or the pup dies. Well, after I let the boys….” Noya nodded to the four males surrounding us. “Have their fun with her.” her lips curled into a sinister smile.
Instinctively I moved closer to Kurt, who in turn was pulling me closer. I glanced at the males, and they were all eyeing me, making my skin crawl. ‘Let’s murder them all. I could have it done before they blink.’ Bastet offered. ‘We can’t just do that in the open. We are in a human city.’ I shook my head.
All I wanted was to have a nice date night with my mate. Maybe spend more time making out than watching the movie. But nothing about my plans for tonight included any of the Syndicate, least of all this witch. No, seriously, my understanding is her mother was a witch.“You think threatening my mate will get you anywhere? These males would be dead before they could touch her. And you will burn like the witches of old.” I growled. I could feel Godric’s rage and the fire he controls sparking at his fury.“Big talk from a coward.” Noya sneered. “Get to your point. We have a date to get to.” Isis… no, that’s Bastet, rolled her eyes. “Know your place, mutt.” Noya scoffed. “Hi pot, I'm kettle. You do realize you're a hybrid too? I can&rsq
"Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,Silence the pianos and with muffled drumBring out the coffin, let the mourners come. Let aeroplanes circle moaning overheadScribbling on the sky the message He Is Dead,Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves,Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves. He was my North, my South, my East and West,My working week and my Sunday rest,My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;I thought that love would last for ever: I was wrong. The stars are not wanted now: put out every one;Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun;Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood.
I honestly don’t remember anything about the movie we went to see. We spent most of the movie kissing. I’m not sure if I should be thankful or annoyed about the armrest between our seats. ‘Annoyed.’ Bastet scoffed as we waved goodbye to Mikali and Annai in the parking lot.“Did you enjoy the movie?” Kurt asked with a smirk on his lips that were still a little puffy from our kissing. “I don’t know. Didn’t exactly watch it. Someone wouldn’t let me.” I shrugged, sliding into the car.“Was Bastet not letting you watch the movie?” Kurt feigned innocence with that goofy smile on his face. I laughed, shaking my head at him. “Well, she’s part of it. She did keep distracting me from the movie, suggesting I test my strength
I was in a good mood. Sure our date started with the trouble with the Syndicate but it was going great after that. We were making out through the movie. And as we got home Isis was talking about how she thinks soon she’ll be ready to complete our bond. Godric and I are entirely on board with that.I want her to want this. I don’t want it to be because she thinks it’s the only way to ensure people like Noya can’t come between us. And okay it felt good to hear she wants me just as badly. Sure I assumed given how much time we spend making out but it’s nice to hear. To know without a doubt you are wanted.But all those good feelings went straight down the shitter when I saw that box. We had a Se7en moment when we arrived in Incubi Pack, and I do not want to relive that. I am not about that life. I especially don’t lik
I don’t know if I should be terrified or relieved that the contents of the box had been a coded letter and disabling charmed pendant. It could have been worse. I was afraid it was going to be a body part. It didn't matter whether it was sent from my family or the rogues. I was still terrified that inside we’d find a part of Khalid. I should be angry that he set Sakina free, but I understand why he would. She’s his mother. He always idolized her. He wanted to be a strong leader and talented hunter just like her. But in the end, he chose to save my life. Even though it meant taking hers, he did put me above her. And I’m terrified for him because the guild won’t see it as self-defense, and they’ll want to hold him accountable for her death. They’ll have marked him a traitor and a murder. Add that to know
I am hanging on by a thread. A thin, frayed thread of control is the only thing keeping me from entirely stripping Isis naked and fucking her till we both collapse from exhaustion. This is already further than we’ve ever gone. My fingers are on her damn zipper. I am inches from reaching the promised land. And of course, leave it to Logan and Aurelia to be loud enough fornicators that soundproofing only muffles their sounds. Muffling in the same way a car muffles music when the base is too high. Instead of a thumping heavy base, its growls and moans. I swear to the Moon Goddess if their loud, apparently passionate sex cockblocks me, I’m going to lose my shit. I paused, looking up at my mate’s face. ‘If Logan cockblocks us….’ Godric growled. ‘What exactly are we going to do? Fight him? He’ll kick my ass
Oh my god! I’m seeing stars. The things that man can do with his tongue are mind-blowing. I was still on a euphoric high when Bastet moved forward. I didn’t think twice about letting her take control. I don’t think I could form sentences, let alone have the courage to act on what I was thinking. I didn’t want this to be one-sided. I didn’t want Kurt to be left unsatisfied. That’s happened enough times before this. Heated making out that left us both turned on, but I was too nervous to let it go further. I know what Kurt goes into the bathroom to do. We pretend I don’t, but I do. I had been okay with letting Bastet take the reins, and she was more than happy to do so. It was strange watching from the back seat as she seduced Kurt.
I am not surprised at all that Hana is hoping that she gets a brother. The girl had a hard enough time accepting she would have to share her father’s attention with Aurelia when she came into their lives. I don’t want to imagine her jealousy if this baby is a girl. She will not be the only Bloodmoon Princess anymore. Though girl or boy, this child will be considered the Alpha heir till they turn sixteen and either has Bloodmoon Alpha wolf or not. If we learned anything from John and Logan, the firstborn isn’t always the one to be blessed with the alpha wolf. Though I don’t know what happens if Logan and Aurelia only have one child and that child doesn’t have the alpha wolf. Would that mean the next Alpha would be born to John? ‘Stop overthinking about the line of succession for this pack. We may be in this pack for now. But we have a pack of our own we are supposed to be leading.’ Godric rolled his eyes. ‘I don’t want to be an Alpha.’ I grumbled.
