Forsaken by the Moon Goddess novel Chapter 91

Sloane

I spent the day moving my bedroom into the front room of the Alpha floor. I had some warriors help me move the larger furniture out of my grandparents room, putting them at the other end of the hallway. The idea of sharing a floor with them while Benedict and I were being intimate is horrifying. When the joint packhouse is complete, I’m leaving my grandparents in this packhouse so Benedict and I can have some privacy.

By dinner time, I have everything switched, and my room was already settled. I shower in my new bathroom, making it smell more familiar. I kept the windows open all day, wanting to air out my grandparents scent, hoping to make the room feel like mine more quickly. When I went downstairs to have dinner with my pack, I could feel my excitement building. Tonight is the night I make Benedict mine. Finally.

After dinner and letting the pack know I probably won’t return for warrior training in the morning, Scarlet walked me to the border.

“Have fun tonight!”

“Is it weird that I’m nervous?” I ask.

“No. But don’t be. It’s the most incredible thing, Sloane. Like, I know you said the sex is fantastic but just wait. When Benedict sinks his canines into your neck …” She stops, just shaking her head. It isn’t often that my friend is rendered speechless. Finally, she shrugs. “I have no words. If you can come up with some tomorrow, I’ll be happy to hear them.”

She hugs me. “I’m so happy for you. You deserve this happiness, Sloane. I know you never believed that you were worthy of being mated to someone, much less someone like BWFive, but you’ve always been worthy of it and all the good things that are happening for you. And I’m the lucky bestie who gets to stand beside you and watch as all this greatness, the greatness that I always told you deserved and you never believed, comes to pass.”

“I love you, Scarlet,” I say, holding her tightly.

“I love you too. Now, go get your man.”

I laugh and wave as I pass the border, howling that I’m crossing. Surprisingly, Benedict’s pack howls a welcome back at me.

When I break through the forest line, Benedict is waiting for me. He jogs over and wraps his arms around me. “Hello gorgeous.”

“Hello yourself,” I say before his mouth is on mine.

“Are you ready for tonight?” he asks when he pulls away.

I nod.

“Nervous?” he asks.

I laugh. “Yes. Is that silly?”

“No. I’m a little nervous too.”

“Really?” I ask, surprised.

He nods. “I want tonight to be perfect. I want this to be a night that neither of us forgets, a night that we can look back on when we’re old and grey and still remember fondly. Have you eaten?”

“Yes,” “Good,” he says, then leads me inside.

The pack says hello to me and much like my pack, they all have knowing smiles on their faces as we pass.

“It’s kind of embarrassing that everyone knows what we’re about to do,” I murmur.

“They’re just jealous,” he says as we walk upstairs.

When we get to his bedroom, he watches me as he opens the door. I gasp as I step inside.

“You did this for me?” The entire room is lit with candles and there are vases of flowers everywhere. It’s beautiful and romantic.

“My parents fucked up their mate bond. Your parents fucked up their mate bond. I want ours to always be positive and that starts tonight.”

I turn and lean against him. “And to think, all I did was wear sexy lingerie,” I say grinning.

“Mmmm, perfect,” he growls, kissing me again. It’s a possessive kiss, full of promise, the promise of a beautiful future together.

We slowly undress each other, knowing we have all night. When he’s stripped me out of my blouse and pants, he steps back and looks at the black lacy bra and panty set I bought for tonight.

He moves his finger in a ‘turn around’ gesture as he growls. I slowly turn, watching him over my shoulder as the growl intensifies when he sees that the panties are a thong.

“I am so fucking lucky,” he growls, leading me over to the bed. The sheets have already been turned down. He scoops me up and lays me on the bed like I’m precious to him.

“I can’t wait to be inside your mind. I can’t wait to be even more connected to you.”
