Sleeping With The Moon Goddess

A New Beginning

Camille

I could tell that there was light but I couldn’t quite bring myself to open my eyes. I tried to speak but my mouth didn’t cooperate. If I focused, I think I could hear voices; mumbled at first and very distant sounding. I tried harder to focus on the sound. After a few moments, the words became clearer; I could almost make them all out.

“There’s something about this contract that isn’t sitting well with me,” came a voice from my left, “I think he’s trying to get more than he’s willing to give.”

“Well, send me over what you have so far and I’ll take a look through everything” said a voice on my right.

It was my mates! I could feel them next to me. After all this time, they were still here with me. Although I had no idea just how much time had passed, I knew I had been asleep for a while.

The Moon Goddess had visited me in my dreams. She told me that she led me to my mates because they would keep me safe and protected. They would train me and they would help lead me to my destiny. I couldn’t become who I needed to be without them. She also said that she was keeping watch on my family, and they would remain safe until my return, but I wasn’t to try to contact them for fear I would be found. They couldn’t know where I was. I tried asking her who ‘they’ were, and why they couldn’t find me, but I was never given an answer.

“Alright, well I’m gonna go jump in the shower.” Said my mate on my right; the voice was deep and husky.

“I’m gonna change and make some more coffee. You want some?” Came from my mate on the left; his voice wasn’t as deep but it was so smooth and confident sounding.

“Yeah, I could use another cup.”

“Got it.”

I heard some shifting of chairs and some commotion of things being tossed around. Uggg Open your eyes Camille! Come on girl, you can do it!

Gradually, I forced one heavy eyelid open, and then the other, the light was overwhelmingly blinding, causing me to blink several times before anything came into focus. After a few seconds, my eyes began to adjust. I looked around and noticed I was in a hospital bed but everything else looked more like a hotel.

The furniture and artwork on the walls were nicer and probably more expensive than anything I had ever seen before. I scanned the room; it was huge, gorgeous white leather furniture, accented with black and gray throw pillows and décor. Holy s**t, the whole opposite wall was a huge window that over. .. . .. .woah . . . I lost all train of thought when he walked into my view.

Coming from the kitchen, I’m guessing, he walked across the floor and over to a duffle bag sitting on this long white couch. I couldn’t help but continue to stare. He was gorgeous. I could tell that he was tall; he had tousled brownish hair that hung down to his eyes. Looking at his face, he had a strong jawline with masculine features.

He put his hands into the waistband of the sweats he was wearing and pushed them down, letting them fall to the floor. I’m pretty sure I felt my eyes pop out of my head. Holy Goddess, he was huge, and he wasn’t even erect. I had never really seen a naked man up close but in the pictures and videos I’ve seen, none of them even came close!

He pulled on a pair of boxers before putting on a pair of jeans; I couldn’t help but notice how good his ass was looking right now. He then pulled his shirt off and proceeded to grab a new one from the duffle bag. The new shirt was on too quick but I caught the outline of his muscles just fine, I would be drooling over those rock-hard abs for a while. Maybe he would let me run my hands up and down him later so that I could commit every inch of his abs and his ass to memory.

I brought my elbows up underneath me so that I could sit up a little bit. My arms felt a little stiff but otherwise, it felt good to move. I’ve been lying in this bed for too long. I let out a groan as my arms adjusted to the feeling of supporting my upper body. This caught his attention.

In a second he was back at my side, “Princess, you’re awake!” He said as he placed one of his hands over mine, and the other on my shoulder. “Can you talk?” His eyes were a gorgeous emerald green; I had never really seen anyone with eyes as brightly green as his. They reminded me of the forest, I could definitely get lost staring in those eyes.

But an excellent question; my throat suddenly felt like it was burning, it was so dry. I opened my mouth and tried to speak. Finally, I was able to get out a word, “water”. It was about all I could say.

“Right away princess,” he immediately stood and hastily walked to the kitchen to fill up a glass.

I took it and, with his help, gulped down as much water as I could handle before stopping for a breath. “Thank you,” I managed to say.

“How are you feeling? Do you hurt anywhere?”

“I’m a little sore, but otherwise I feel ok.” I could see the worry and concern on his face and it was heart-warming. I managed to give him a small smile to reassure him that I was in fact ok. Actually, I felt more than ok, I felt a lot stronger than I remember being.

“What’s your name?”

“Camille”

“Camille, that’s beautiful.” Oh, I liked the way he said my name. “It’s nice to finally see you awake, we’ve been so worried.” And with that, I saw him mutter a quick curse under his breath. “shit.” And then the next moments his eyes dilated as he sent a quick mind link.

“She’s awake and talking.”

In the next second, you could hear what sounded like a bottle dropping in the shower before the water cut off, and the banging of someone getting out in a hurry. Not even six seconds later, the bathroom door flew open, and out stepped this man who both frightened and thrilled me at the same time.

He was dripping wet with just a towel hanging low on his thick muscular waist. He was huge, solid muscle; his hair was jet black and hung down just past his shoulders in soaking wet long ringlet curls. He had a tribal tattoo on one shoulder that extended down his chest and his back.

He had to be a warrior although I’ve never seen a warrior as big as he was. He was intimidating to look at, to say the least, but yet when he reached my side, he gently placed his hand on the side of my head and looked at me with so much love and concern it took my breath away.

“Hi baby girl” he said with a wickedly impressive smile. “You scared us, are you ok?” His eyes were a sparkling bright teal/blue color, reminding me of the ocean. Goddess, what did I do to get blessed with two mates as stunning as these.

“I think I’m ok,” I responded to this delicious man caressing the side of my neck. “I’m Camille. Camille Winters”.

“It’s nice to finally get a chance to see your beautiful brown eyes open Camille.” His deep voice sent shivers down my spine. “I’m Damien.”

“and I’m Aiden. . . Where are you from Princess?”

I glanced between the two men, remembering that the Moon Goddess had told me that no one, except for my mates, was to know where I am from.

“I am from a small pack north of Seattle near the border, the Half Moon pack, my father is Alpha Xavier, but please, you can’t say anything to anyone about where I’m from.” I noticed Aiden's eyes widen and he looks over at Damien.

“Baby girl, are you telling me that you ran here all the way from the Western border?”

“Yes? I mean I believe so, it’s all kind of a blur. Once I started running, I couldn’t stop. Something kept pushing me to run faster, knowing I couldn’t stop until I found you, or both of you it looks like.” Their eyes are still wide with shock, “Why? Where am I?”

“Princess, you ran all the way into the heart of South Dakota! You’re in Blood Moon pack territory.”

What? How could I possibly have made it this far! I’ve heard of the Blood Moon pack before, from my father. I knew it as being one of the largest and well-trained packs, but that was about all I knew.

“You must be starving?” Aiden asked as he looked at me with concern.

Immediately, the thought of food made my stomach growl, causing a laugh from both of them.

“Ok, why don’t we get you something to eat first, and then I can see about having Dr. Williams clear you to come home. We can get you settled in and then we can talk about everything after.”

“Does that sound good, baby girl? Would you like for us to take you home?”

I loved the way his voice called me baby girl. I didn’t trust myself to speak, so I simply nodded.

“Good” he said as he stood giving me a kiss on the cheek. I’ll page Dr. Williams.
