The Curse of the Moon Goddess

Chapter 4

I want to kiss you. Me too. Are we supose to wait for that too. I don't know so better to be cautious can you lay with me and hold me. Of course can I call you baby. I smile yes. Lets get to know eachother. Ok you do realize it's like 1 am. I know baby but before we mate I would like to know you and we have less than 24hrs at this point.

Well ok lets play twenty questions. Ok, I'll start.What's your favorite color? Dark green. What's yours baby? Red not the orangy one like ruby or candy apple. What's your favorite movie? He says um you're going to laugh. I won't I promise. Ok it's princess bride. What I said shocked. Ok why though I ask? Well it got everything something for everyone in it, comedy, drama, action, suspense and romance. Hmmm true it does I say. Ok baby your turn. Now it's your turn to laugh. Come out with it. Ok Miracle on 34th street. He blinks but doesn't laugh ok why? Uh Christmas is my favorite holiday. I love the togetherness of the season people are generally nicer too. I can see that. We continued till all of our questions are asked and answered now we are moving on. So what was your old pack like. I stiffen. Well as you know my mate was the Alpha and he rejected me in the most painful way just like your mate. I don't know if I told you about the Beta and Gamma? No baby you didn't. Well the Gamma is my brother and I left like the moon-goddess told me I miss him. I can not contact him until after our mating though. He rubs circles on my back. What about the Beta. Well we have been friends since childhood and when everything went down it hurt worse because although we didn't mark or mate he had formally excepted me. The Beta rushed me out of the pack house carrying me to the hospital. When we were kinda close he had to stop because my body was on fire. He saw the moment he marked her and he must have done it again the day I got here anyway. I was fading I thought killed by my very own mate, how sad. He leanded down and said I vow my loyalty to you Riley Bluemoon you shall be my only Luna after his vow of loyalty I felt a surge of strength. It's what saved me I think. Anyway after that I was on the gurney and I was able to give him the kiss of the goddess for protection for him and his decendants. I didn't even know what I was doing it was just something that came naturally to me. He looks at me, I'm trying not to be possessive but you kissed him? Oh oh no not like that the kiss of the goddess goes on your forehead and that's it. We have no effection for eachother other than Luna and Beta and maybe brother sister. He will be here though after our mating the goddess wants him here but she is diverting him until we are fully mated. He holds me tighter ok that makes me feel a little better. I snuggle into him. I fall asleep and I feel something warm and heavy when I wake up. He's looking at me morning I say he leans over and hugs me morning baby. Lets get ready for the day and then get breakfast he looks at the clock or lunch. Ok. What food are you putting in our mating spot. Why would we need food? Oh, right apparently we will mate from sundown to sun-up. Ok, well I will make sure we have sports drinks along with fruit, protein and whatever else we might need. There is something else I forgot to talk to you about baby. Xander just say it. The moon-goddess said we can't use protection and that we might create a life. So babies I guess we have to mentally prepare. Oh, deep breath. I guess it will be what she wills. Xander I can't do this alone if you back out or don't want to be a dad I. Oh, goddess she's hyperventilating, Riley look at me her big blue eyes looks at me I smile I have always wanted to be a dad. I can't wait till tonight. Then I can show you how I'm feeling after the last few days. I know some is the bond but there's more there I promise I feel it. Don't you? Yes and I am just nervous you've had three years to deal with everything I've had less than a month. His eyes widen oh baby I didn't realize it was that fresh. I'm glad even though there's pain I'm glad you're mine. I look at her and put her on my lap I am so sorry. No I'm glad you're my mate she says. I'm glad too baby. We go down and get food and the pack is there eating everyone quiets down. Xander says there is a special ceremony tonight that mated couples are to attend along with high ranking members. No children are allowed to attend so please if you are not mated offer to watch pups and I will make sure you are paid for you service also unmated male and female warriors I will need extra gaurds around the territory. I may not be saying whats happening tonight because that is the will of the moon-goddess. I do promise tomorrow morning at breakfast to make the announcement of what the ceremony was about. We must honor the moon-goddess, now carry on. I look at her we have almost everything ready I place a mattress and bedding a table cooler slippers for after and the drinks just need a few things more. As night approaches we take more time getting to know eachother touching eachother and we eat an early dinner we take the food over and check everything again we have everything including a change of sheets.
