The Moon Pact

Trail of Death

Mia laid on Mark's bare chest pulling on the hairs of his chest, the room smelt of lavender, dimly lit with low burning candles at strategic places. Rose petals littered the floor and on the bed.

They usually laughed and spoke after they had made love but these past few weeks had been different, their hunger for each other was like wildfire, it was as though they knew they had less time to be in each other's arms, so they stole every opportunity to engage in their tryst.

So many times they would rip their dresses off and ravage their bodies like wild animals, most other times they snuck into the woods, oftentimes Mark would manage to climb up her balcony to get to her.

Four days had gone by since Gareth left with Lord Lemuel Brunt to an unknown journey and curiosity spiked as to what the Alpha of East Ava and his Beta, Gareth had up their sleeves, of course everyone guessed right, their disappearance is related to Lord Vlad Unks's demands.

"They say he is the most ruthless Alpha in all of the lands and that he is favored by the moon goddess"

Mia said nothing as her head continued its rest on Mark's chest.

"Will you accept the Alpha of West Ava and become his mate?"

Mia's eyes glowed and the hairs on her skin stood still as she dug her claws into Mark's skin and he screamed hard. In one quick move he pulled her hand away causing him more pain and pin her hands above her head with one hand, raising a free one to hit her, but he held her face instead and kissed her.

In one swift move Mia freed one of her hands and dug her claws on his back and he muffled out a scream, they kissed each other hungrily, soon their bodies began to shimmer with sweat and Mia angrily tossed the covers away, flipped and straddled him, she licked his n*****s.

He stared up at her and for a second or two he wondered why she was becoming too aggressive. He flipped her and held her face to the bed holding a handful of her hair. She struggled to get off his grip but he spanked her butt and whispered into her ears "I am your Alpha" she bit her lips as her eyes glowed in excitement. He could always tell when she craved him, so he let himself into her and she moaned. His hands still held her face to the bed by her hair while he grunted with each thrust. She struggled to keep her eyelids open as they slowly shut together in passion.

Gareth's apartment has been the venue for their trysts ever since his obvious absence from sight so they never cared about anyone hearing their grunts of passion. She tried to muster up the little strength she had to get off Mark's grip but it was futile, soon she collapsed under his weight and intensity as the only audible noise where their moans of passion and the old squeaky spring from Gareth's own bed which was more larger and comfortable than Mark's own.

She was defeated, she believed she could match Mark's strength whenever her mood swings kicked in and he would hold back, but this time he was teaching her a lesson. He dove his tongue into her ear and licked as he kept thrusting harder than he had ever done her before. She attempted to free herself but he spanked her and pulled her hair back while he held the back of her neck with his left hand. He ravaged her with all of his might and soul, only then did he realise he too had anger piled up ever since the emissary from West Ava announced that the Alpha wolf lord of West Ava wanted his lover as a mate in accordance to an ancient pact.

The thought of losing her forever drove him mad as he continued to ravage her with passion. They screamed so hard as they reached their climax together. Mia broke down and cried. This became the circle. loving up, the anxiety of losing one another, the love making, then follows the climax that sends them crashing down to reality after flying on Icarus's wings trying to escape the maze.

"keep moving" Lemuel whispered as they walked along a narrow steep, "show no sign of awareness"

"what are you saying"

"I think a band of raiders, they have been stalking us. I wasn't sure, but their familiar scent gave them away"

"for f**k sake, not now, I cant fight with an injury"

"Then run"

off they went, taking to their heels as a band of seven club and axe carrying males chased after them.

Gareth couldn't keep pace as he fell to the floor. The men surrounded him and laughed. Disappointedly Lemuel stopped running and walked back to them.

"kind hearted comrade" they shaded, "he couldn't turn his back at his fat lazy friend"

They all laughed out loud.

"now what do you both have in your bags" the leader of the park asked, "hand your bags over to us and we won't harm you, we would be on our merry way just as you both were headed on your merry way"

"now we wouldn't be on our merry way if you take away our food" Gareth said

"shut your mouth fat punk" one of the males kicked Gareth in his ass while the rest laughed.

"if I wasn't injured none of you are a match for me"

They kicked him on his ass once more as they laughed.

"Now that's okay. Don't you think it's dishonorable kicking an injured man who is down already?"

"Look at us, do we look like we need your honor?" one of the males asked, "we want your supplies and we want your gold too"

"You all are nothing but a bunch of thieving fugitives," Lemuel said, "now if you want what's ours, you have to fight for it. I challenge you to bring your strongest male. choose to fight like males, the old ways, not hiding in the shadows and stalking cowardly"

The words got to the leader of the band and he growled in anger,

“Today is the day you die” he said as his eyes turned amber. He got on all fours and transforms into a huge wolf.

“Oh f**k” Gareth muttered.
