The Lost Luna

Chapter 16 - Two Become One

**THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS MATURE CONTENT**

***Ryder’s POV***

Why can’t I have a simple life? Like I’m about to become alpha, and the first thing I have to do is deal with at least one, possibly two traitors. This is pure bulls**t. As I drag my body upstairs, the smell of my mate starts to grow stronger. It was like she was sending waves of her scent to me. Each wave calmed me down until I reached my room. I lightly pushed the door open to see my beautiful mate lying in bed. Before entering the room, I just looked at her, admiring her beauty.

“Are you going to stand there and watch me, or are you going to come to join me?” Her voice was like a melody I could listen to every day. Her words break me out of my trance.

“Oh um..um..y..yea. Sorry I didn’t mean-” Her sudden outburst of laughter caught me off guard.

“Awe, am I making the big bad alpha nervous?” I inwardly scuffed and rolled my eyes. She slowly got up from bed and made her way toward me.

“No, it’s not that. It’s just…. I don’t know how to say it.” This time it was her turn to scuff and roll her eyes.

“Don’t start to treat me like I’m broken or something. I would’ve never told you that sh*t if I knew you would treat me like damaged goods.” It felt like I was being stabbed in the chest with each word. Looking down, I realize that I’m not entirely wrong. She’s jabbing her finger into my chest with each word. I noticed that she was wearing shorts and one of my T-shirts. I couldn’t stop the goofy grin that spread across my face. Before she had a chance to say anything, I smashed my lips into hers. Initially, she didn’t kiss me back, but once the shock wore off, she matched my energy and emotion. Before things could go too far, I broke the kiss. We stood there in silence, gazing at each other.

“My luna, I don’t think you’re broken or damaged. In fact, I admire your strength. After going through that, you still find it in you to love people instead of being angry. You’re far stronger than you know, don’t let anyone tell you anything different.” I wrapped my arms around her waist and lifted her into the air. She immediately wrapped her legs around me and started kissing me this time. She poured out all of her unspoken feelings into the kiss. I started kissing down her neck but avoiding her marking spot. It wasn’t long before I could smell her arousal. I couldn’t contain the groan that left my lips. My d**k got painfully hard against my pants. Still carrying her, I moved us to my bed and gently laid her down. I placed my weight on my hands so I wouldn’t squish her. She stared at me in disbelief when I broke the kiss.

“Baby, if we keep going, I won’t be able to stop myself. I want it to be on your time and terms when we mate. I don’t want you to feel pressured.” It was taking all of my self-control to stop myself. I know if I keep going, I’ll end up marking her, and after hearing what she went through, I want her to be ready. Her eyes welled up with tears, and she grabbed both sides of my face crashing her lips into mine.

“Thank you, but I want you right now. I want to wear your mark on my neck and mine on yours.” Hearing those words, I went right back to what we were doing, except I was moving slower. She wasn’t some wh*re I was sleeping with to satisfy my needs. No, she’s my mate, the other half of my soul. I want to make love to her, give all of myself to her and worship every inch of her body.

***Amber’s POV***

After talking to luna Marie, I realized I’m allowing the past and fears to dictate my future. So I waited for him in his room. I know what I have to do now. Before Ryder entered the room, I knew it was him. His intoxicating scent flooded my senses. Opening my mouth to say something, but it was like my words were stuck in my throat, choking me. So I laid still and allowed his presence to soothe my anxious nerves before speaking. Staying silent, I waited for him to talk first but was met with silence. Why is he standing in the doorway staring at me?

“Are you going to stand there and watch me, or are you going to come to join me?” Because of the darkness in the room, he couldn’t see the smirk on my face.

“Oh um..um..y..yea. Sorry I didn’t mean-” I couldn’t stop myself from laughing. Was I making him nervous?

“Awe, am I making the big bad alpha nervous?” I wouldn't have heard him scuff if it wasn’t for my wolf hearing. He was so cute when he tried to act unbothered by something. Is it because I’m his mate that I can see through his facade?

“No, it’s not that. It’s just…. I don’t know how to say it.” He’s unbelievable! What the f*ck? Is he seriously treating me like f*cking damaged goods or some damsel in distress?! I could feel the rage building up inside.

“Don’t start to treat me like I’m broken or something. I would’ve never told you that sh*t if I knew you would treat me like damaged goods.” With each word, I was poking him with my finger. At this point, I was standing in front of him. The anger and rage were evident on my face. Looking up at him, I see he’s grinning like a fool. He has the audacity to be smiling right now?! Following his eyes, I realize that he’s looking at what I’m wearing. I forgot that I was wearing his shirt in my fit of rage. Before I could continue with my fit, he crashed his lips onto mine. To say that I’m shocked is an understatement. Without a second thought, I started kissing him back. He broke the kiss but was gazing into my eyes. I matched his gaze and saw nothing but love in his eyes.

“My luna, I don’t think you’re broken or damaged goods. In fact, I admire your strength. After going through that, you still find it in you to love people instead of being angry. You’re far stronger than you know, don’t let anyone tell you anything different.” while saying that, he wrapped his arms around my waist and lifted me into the air. As if acting off of instincts, I immediately wrapped my legs around him and started kissing him, this time catching him off guard. It has been years since I’ve poured my feelings out to someone. But today, that changes. I began pouring out all of my unspoken feelings into the kiss. He started kissing my neck, which resulted in a moan escaping from me. My underwear became wet, and I felt myself getting turned on. I know he could smell my arousal when a groan escaped his lips.

In an instant, he had me on the bed hovering over me. For the second time, he broke the kiss and stared into my eyes. He had a look of hesitation on his face.

When he kissed me, I was instantly turned on. I didn’t attempt to hide my disappointment when Ryder broke the kiss.

“Baby, if we keep going, I won’t be able to stop myself. I want it to be on your time and terms when we mate. I don’t want you to feel pressured.” I could tell that It was taking a great deal of his self-control to stop himself. My vision began to blur as tears welled up. I could see how genuinely he cares about me and is willing to wait. I grabbed both sides of his face crashing my lips into him. Eventually, we broke apart for air.

“Thank you, but I want you right now. I want to wear your mark on my neck and mine on yours.” As soon as I finished talking, his eyes darkened with lust, and he attacked my lips again. I felt him run his tongue over my bottom lip, asking for entrance, which I willingly gave him. Our tongues battled for dominance, making me moan into his mouth. I started tugging on his shirt, and he quickly removed both his and my shirts. His eyes practically bugged out of his head when he looked at my br*ast.

“Oh f*ck. The moon goddess took her time when she made you.” His voice was laced with lust and desire. With one of his massive hands, he cupped one of my br*ast and shook it. “Holy sh*t, your skin is soft.” Before I could say anything, he was kneading my right, twisting my n*pple while his mouth was on the other. I started to run my fingers through his hair. He started leaving little kisses down my body until he reached my v****a. Suddenly he stopped and looked up at me.

“Amber, are you sure you want to do this? If you want me to stop, I will. I don’t want to do anything that you’re uncomfortable with.” My heart melted after hearing him say that. I simply nodded my head, and in one swift motion, he ripped my underwear off. He resumed kissing my inner thighs and blew on my cl*t, making my back arch. Before I could recover from that, he devoured my v****a like he hadn’t eaten in years. My hips started grinding against his face while I grabbed his hair.

“Don’t c*m until I say so.” He used his alpha tone on me, knowing that I couldn’t disobey it. Oh boy, what have I gotten myself into?

“Don’t act like you’re not enjoying yourself.” Oh my gosh, my wolf could be so h*rny it’s insane. The conversation between my wolf and me ended when Ryder slid a finger inside me while sucking on my cl*t. The room was filled with the sounds of my moans.

“C*m for me, baby. I want to taste all of you.” As soon as the words left his mouth, my body vibrated with a powerful orgasm.

Suddenly he stopped, and I lay there breathless. I hear him removing his pants before I feel the bed dip down.

“This will hurt at first, but I promise I’ll be as gentle as possible.” Grabbing his d**k, he lightly taps it on my cl*t. “Before you say anything, I was taught to knock before entering.” My goddess, he is insane. Slowly he inserts the tip, and instantly I tense up. His lips find mine in a soft sensual kiss, briefly distracting me while he slowly pushes the rest of his d**k into me. Pausing for a second, he allows me to adjust to his size.

“F*ck, you’re so tight.” He groaned out as he began slowly pumping in and out of me. The room started to fill with the sounds of us making love to each other. Picking up the pace, my moans only got louder. I feel his warm breath on my neck as he starts kissing and sucking on it. The next thing I know, I feel his canines pierce my neck, marking me. An orgasm so violent I began to see stars rocked my body as I screamed out his name. Seconds later, I lean up and extend my canines and mark him. I feel him swelling up inside me before he reaches his own climax. We both lick the spot where we marked each other to seal it. Instantly I feel the mate bond strengthening. He pulls out and pulls me into his chest, holding me tight.

“Amber, I love you so much, and I promise to do anything and everything to protect you.” I couldn’t say anything because my eyelids became heavy, and I drifted off to sleep. I feel like I’m on cloud nine. Nothing could mess up my mood right now, right?
