Chapter 117 

Maia

Damon tucks my long black hair behind my ear.

‘We should go to my cave,’I say, and he lifts me and tells me he will carry me home. I have butterflies in my stomach, and Vivian mentioned butterflies. I put my arms around his neck and rest my head against him as he walks.

We sit beside the waterfall to watch the stars and admire the moon. Ember curls up on Damon’s legs and soon falls asleep. With our fingers, we draw pictures in the air by forming lines between one star and the next. Damon asks me to guess what he is drawing.

‘A fish?’ I guess

‘No. How you got a fish out of that, Maia, I don’t know. It was a fox,’ he says, and we laughed.

The night is warm, so we both undress and leave our clothes near the cave while slipping into the pool beside it. Ember sits on a rock, watching us. I flick a heap of water at Damon,

You’re in trouble now, Princess,’ he says, laughing.

‘Really?’ I ask him playfully.

He splashes me repeatedly before ducking under the water so I can’t splash him back. I wait for him to resurface. A minute passes, but he hasn’t resurfaced, and I worry ‘Damon Where are you?’ I ask, wading through the water, hoping! can at least feel him at leg level. I hold my breath and submerge myself in the water. I swim underwater for about ten seconds before we resurface together. As soon as he does, I plant my mouth over his so quickly that he can’t breathe. We kiss passionately for a few minutes.

He wraps his arms around my waist and pulls me into him. I wrap my legs around his waist.

‘My wolf wants to do several things to you right now, Princess,’ he says, in a tone, I’m unfamiliar with

He grazes the skin on my neck with his teeth, making me moan. Then, he stops over my pulse, and growls desirously.

I push him from me with all my strength, as it feels like he is about to bite down into my skin.

“What are you doing?’ I ask him, shocked.

He stands there, breathing heavily, with black eyes and fangs bared.

‘I want to mark you, and make you mine,’ he says.

What do you mean? You can’t bite me like you’re biting into an apple,’ I say. I rescind from him and get out of the water 1 don’t even know if I could love a… ‘I explain, gaging his reaction, which isn’t a good one. He looks hurt, and his arms are crossed against his chest.

but I don’t know how I feel in my heart, I say

I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you. As for you loving me, I know you will, if not now, but one day” He says smiling

I don’t know if I can win this war without you by my side. I don’t want to see my pack die or be wiped out. I feel miserable when you’re not near, and I’ve been so happy since we met. I feel a warmth I’ve never felt before. I become lost in your smile and your eyes. I feel so strong with you. Maia. You’re my Luna and the queen of my heart, and you always will be even if you don’t accept me. My heart will always belong to you,’ I say earnestly

She leaves the cave and sits by the water, dipping her feet in. She has a lot on her mind. I stand away from her, just watching and admiring her. I’d love to hold her, to pull her close to me, but I know she needs her space.

Alpha. Zayden and I have arrived at the forest border, and we are following the river. Where are we meeting? Troy mind links. No one could find this cave even with directions.

I know where the river is from here. I’m not far from you. I’m actually with Maia. She isn’t afraid of me anymore. She just needs more time to process everything. It will be great to have you two, to reassure her we aren’t bad like she has been told. I reply.

Zayden and I will wait for you then, Alpha. I can’t believe we’re about to meet our Luna. Troy mind-links, I crouch down beside Maia to speak to her.

‘I have my Beta, Troy waiting by the river with a pup boy. I’m going to get them and bring them back here. They’re very excited to meet you, I say excitedly. Maia

‘Okay. I look forward to it,’ she says with a beautiful smile.
