Accepting Fate (Moonlight Trials Series #3)

Chapter 32

Chapter 32



Nathan’s POV

We walked to the same clearing behind the pack house as last time. The Luna, Alpha, Jack and Sam were all present. It seemed Sam was fast becoming Frey’s personal guard and I smiled, liking that he took his post so serious.

“Good Evening.” Frey greeted the Luna and Alpha with a bowed head. “The ritual will be the same as last time but with only one slight difference. This time I would like the Alpha within the circle to help the Luna. As this is the final ritual and it is a full moon, she will feel more pain as I drag the last part of the scarring out of her.” The Luna nodded, having already been told about this before. Alpha Fenn nodded.

“Everything else is exactly the same. Frey just wants the added comfort from the Alpha to make you more comfortable if that is ok Luna? Alpha?” I saw Alpha Fenn look nervously at Jack before nodding. Freybelle did everything the same as last time only this time the Luna was sat on the Alphas knee as he held her tightly. She did the spell perfectly and as the moon shone above us in its full glory, she poured all of her energy into the luna. This time there was s silver shimmer to Frey, making her look ethereal and even more beautiful than normal. It didn’t escape my notice that the Alpha was staring at her intently throughout the entire thing. The Luna winced in pain and the Alpha held her tighter, growling at Frey.

“What are you doing?” He growled.

“She cannot speak, or she will disrupt the spell.” I answered. “She said there would be a little more pain. She is literally removing scar tissue with her bare hands.” The Alpha growled, still glaring at Frey but stopped his complaining. When Frey finished, she sat back on her heels and smiled brightly at the Luna. This time we had brought a small handheld mirror so the Luna could see herself. The scarring was completely gone, her eye was now back to its original colour and there was an inch of black hair where the grey streak was growing from.

“Freybelle…” The Luna said, tears in her eyes as she looked at herself. Frey smiled and started removing the candles and salt circle. She seemed to have more energy than last time, and I smiled, wondering if it was because of the moon. The Luna was still in the Alphas lap, tears slowly streaming down her face. “How can we ever repay you?” Luna Sylvia said. I noticed the Alpha look away from his Luna and Frey with a guilty expression. Was he finally realising she meant well, and she was good? I sighed.

“Luna, I only sought to right the wrongs my previous coven did. I never wanted anything in return… but…” The Alpha whipped his head around glaring at Frey as she walked to me. “The greatest pleasure in all of this was meeting Nathan and finding my other half.” She said as she laid her head on my shoulder. Luna Sylvia laughed, getting up and holding her hand out for her mate. That look was back on his face, guilt or shame, possibly. I wasn’t sure but I wanted to find out.

Freybelle’s POV

The Luna hugged me and for the first time in a long time I felt sad that I would be leaving very soon. I was starting to get to know everyone and most of them were kind. There was only one person who truly hated me, and he had been radiating it all evening. I knew we had gotten off on the wrong foot and I had made things worse, but everything seemed to point me in this direction. I sighed, leaving them behind to enjoy the Luna’s restored looks. I hoped that even if the Alpha hated me forever, I had at least helped heal some part of the pack.

“You did amazing.” Nathan said, wrapping his arms around my shoulders as we walked.

“Thanks, but it really was nothing. I owed it to her and maybe she will get back a part of herself she thought she had lost. And I hope the Alpha eventually realises that she just needed to see we weren’t all dangerous to heal.” I smiled as we walked, rather awkwardly as he refused to let go of my shoulders. The moon shone above us, big and beautiful as the air was crisp and cold. The snow had melted a few weeks ago but Nathan told me it often happened like this before the snow got worse again. I hoped it held off until after we left. I breathed in the night air, rather nervous for what was to come next. I felt Nathan nuzzle my neck as we reached the house.

“I can feel your nervousness.” He said and I was taken aback for a second. He could feel it. How?

“How?” I asked, mirroring my thoughts aloud, opening the door as he let go of me.

“Yeah, I told you mates can feel their partners feelings once they have marked them, however, for some reason I can feel your feelings tonight. Do you think it’s because your powers are stronger because of the moon?” I thought about it and knew he was probably right. I shrugged though, not really knowing the answer. Witches magic was stronger during the 4 moon phases but for different reasons. A full moon was better for healing whilst a new moon was better for communication with spirits. “Well, I like that I can feel you.” He said, embracing me in his arms again. He kissed me slowly and gently, building my anticipation for what was coming. I was so ready to give myself to him. We kissed gently at first but then it became hungrier as hands were exploring everywhere. Finally, Nathan picked me up but instead of taking me upstairs, he took me to the back garden and laid me down on the grass. I wondered what he was doing but then I saw him looking straight up at the moon and I realised. He wanted it to hit us both, me for my magic and him so he felt closer to his goddess. I smiled, reading up to drag him to the ground with me. We explored each other more until I felt the need building and wanted him more than I ever had. Something came over me and I pushed his naked body onto the ground so I could straddle him. I heard a low grumbling as Nathan vibrated, his lust coming out in waves of growls. I teased him by kissing up and down his chest, narrowly avoiding his groin. He groaned louder before sitting up and grabbing my shoulders and lifting me, so I was sitting in his lap, facing him.

“I want you Frey.” He said in his gravelly voice.

“I want you too.” I answered, no longer feeling shy. He smiled before helping guide me into position. Then my world exploded. Pleasure and pain together but it felt like no pain I’d felt before. The worst pain id felt was the black fire and it came nowhere near that. It felt almost good, like when you pour cold water over a bad burn. Nathan was gently, whispering into my ear until I felt right again and then a pleasure like no other rose within me. He rocked his hips, and we rose in pleasure together. Before I could tip over the edge Nathan grazed my shoulder with his teeth, the warning he had told me about stating he would mark me. I nodded; my voice unable to form words. He bit me and we were both pushed over the edge, shouting and moaning aloud.

That’s it… I heard but I knew his mouth was still biting down into my shoulder.

Amazing. I thought, testing I wasn’t losing my mind, and I had heard him. I heard a chuckle and then I was pulled out of my lust filled stupor as Nathan fell backwards, pulling me down with him so I was laid on my chest. We were both panting hard and then Nathan started chuckling.

“It worked then?” I asked and he nodded.

You tell me. He said without moving his lips and I giggled, moving my head to kiss him again.

I love you Nate. I said through the link.

I love you too Frey.
