The Curse of the Moon Goddess

Chapter 3

I place my hand on his arm and he relaxes. I have a story to tell but I first must know yours please. He looks at me and then Sam speaks you owe her you were about to reject her without knowing hers. He sighs ok. First my name is Xander Knight and I am 21. Before I was born the moon-goddess visited my mom and told her I was special and that when the time came to meet my mate I would need to wait 2 months to touch her kiss and mate with her unless she visited my sleep to tell me different or there was another way I would know. Anyway I met my mate Cassie and about a week later I had pain I thought she was hurt so I went to her room only to find her riding a warrior. While this happened she rejected me I almost died that was 3 years ago. I have never touched a woman I have kept the deal my mother made to the goddess. I gasp Calliope. He looks were did you hear that from? Sam looks upset too. The moon-goddess told me when you told me your story to say that name and tell you it was her who told me. He looks all over my body and then I realize take my cuff off this is what you're looking for here. He looks at my mark and he breathes in and says mine. I smile yes yours. He sits, your turn I tell him everything including the mating before the full moon. He says ok but we will wait a few more days for you to feel better before you can help prepare. It will be cutting it close. I will make sure most everything is taken care of and there's something you should know. Our mating has to be witnessed by the pack. By the pack I scream no one is seeeing me naked. He growls of course not the moon-goddess told me exactly what to do while you where recovering. There will be a light that sheild us but it must be done in the feild under the moon where we will mark and mate. Don't worry they will be there they will bare witness but no one will see what is mine and no one will see what is yours. The goddess will confirm to you tonight. Ok. I talked to him some more and said I'm sleepy. Ok you sleep I'll be here when you wake. I went to sleep and I was in the garden again. Selen? Hello dear. Is everything my mate said true? Yes dear don't worry all will be well. I'm not sure he wants me. Well you should talk to him about it. What why can't you tell me? Because my dear he deserves your honesty. Just remember he was hurt just like you and it took longer for you to find him. What will happen when we mate? It will be something that has never happened with mates before. You will see and don't worry your mating will stick. It's not just the mate bond that binds you to eachothers soul which is why you will feel a different bond with him when you mate. Oh one last thing before I go I gave him the specifications of what needed to be there. You will have the time make sure you have sustenance because you will mate from sun down to sun up. Before I can say anything else I sent back to sleep unlike last time. I can hear voices bit can't wake. Why is she still asleep its been five days. I don't know what to tell you Alpha, a female voice answers. I hear her come closer and he roars get away from her, she's mine as I am hers. I fall back into the void drifting to sleep. I wake with a start. He's there hand in mine asleep he stirs. I try to get up. Where are you going?

Um can I go to the bathroom and then get in the shower I smell bad? He gives me a small smile yes of course there will be a gaurd posted by your door. He leaves me to shower and goes to get me clothes. When I'm done I peek out, I'm here your clothes are on the bed I'll leave to the hall till you're ready. Then you can come out. We will go to the house and have dinner just us two.

I get dressed and go to the door open it. He's standing there and I say I'm ready he looks at me and frowns. What's wrong? I forgot to get you shoe's. It's ok I can walk barefoot. No you'll cut your feet. Now let me explain something I'm 5'4 and about 175 lbs I'm a big girl for a wolf yes there's a lot of muscle on my body but most wolves are skinny. I have a flat tummy and I'm curvy. My mate is around 6'5 and 260 lbs pure muscle. Now that I've explained. I say it's really fine. No, my mate will not get hurt for no reason. He picks me up bridle style I blush he looks at my face leans down and says put your arms around me. I look at him. Please let me carry you? Ok I put my arms around him. Where are we going? Our room. Um were you serious earlier about waiting for me because I've never even kissed anyone I uh I don't know what to do or anything and if you have I have a right to know if I'll be compared to someone else. I know I'm on the fat side for a wolf I understand if you don't want me but have to accept me because of the end of the wolf race thing. I do get it my last mate didn't want me tears come down I'm in the crook of his neck and hold tight because I can't bare to look at him and see if I am right. I didn't notice that we are already at his door. He opens it and closes it and locks it. He sits down and tries to pull me away. I'm scared to look so I close my eyes. Come on little wolf let go so I can see you. I let go he pulls me from him and wipes my tears. Open your eyes. I do slowly he's looking at me gently. I want you. I have never touch another not even my mate I mean my first one because the goddess said to wait. I am so glad I did because you being the only one I've ever been with and you being only with me gives me and undescribable feeling. I know I was going to reject you but that was only because I was scared of being rejected by you. I mean look at you. Even with the mess you were when you got here you were the most gorgeous woman I have ever laid eyes on. I think you need glasses. Nope you do because you can not see how beautiful you are. We only have the rest of tonight and then tomorrow night is the full moon. I jump what I sleept 6 days extra? Yes but we need to use this time to get to know eachother. I know but its distracting being this close to you. I know exactly how you feel.
