Their forced luna novel Chapter 90
Had I really heard him right? I leaned forward then winced. I was sore, the sorest I'd ever been before. I was fine until that knotting thing, and sure it had felt amazing to be that full but after it was all over? I could barely walk.
Raul glared at Javier as if he sensed my discomfort and the hound lay me back down on the chair. Huh, why was he naked again anyway? I wanted to ask but I was pretty sure I'd get into issues with Bo and Javier if I pushed it.
"I'm serious," Raul continued and gave me a warm smile. "You can learn magic just like the Prime can, and considering how great of a job these two," he gestured to Bo and Javier, "have done at protecting you. I think you should learn it for self defense."
Rigar's rage throbbed through me. He must have recovered from Javier's sneak attack. I'd hoped that he would have been kept down longer. I couldn't bear to think about what he would do to me for revenge.
"Hey," Raul reached out to me, gently touching my chin and angling it up so I was looking at him. "Whatever you're worrying about, you don't have to worry." he frowned at the mark on my forehead and rubbed at it with his thumb. "We don't have a way to remove this, but we do have a way to make his power over you wane."
Bo forgot all about glaring at him. "What?" he demanded.
Raul nodded and gave me a faint smile. "However, we should see your aptitude for the skills first. It'll determine just how much use we can be about that."
I perked up. Hope flaring to life inside me. I put a hand to my chest and looked up at Raul. No one else existed. "What do I have to do?"
He smiled. "You'll have to train with the three of us. We'll have to swap out because we're obviously still serving the Prime. He at least knows what his power consists of."
"You could," Raul agreed with a nod. He leaned down and picked me up, gently. "I don't want to push you too hard after what that monster did to you. We'll test gently."
"What are you doing?" Zale called from his side of the area. He scowled. "Put some damn clothes on, Raul."
The hound grinned. "Sorry, Prime. I'll duck inside and get some. I'll be testing our Luna in there."
Zale turned completely a way from the other two hounds and wandered over. "What do you mean?"
Javier grabbed my hand and tugged on it, forcing my attention to him. "Hey, you're not really that hurt, are you?" instead of the usual cocky man, he looked worried.
Raul glared at him. "She is. Can't you smell the blood all over her?"
Zale growled and a giant fireball zipped through the air, nearly colliding with the wolf's head. Javier ducked just in time and the attack hit a tree, setting it on flames even amidst all the snow. "Javier, you've got some explaining to do. Get your ass over here."
Tyler raised a brow. "We don't have time for that, Prime. We have to train. You can punish your disobedient wolf later."
Jesse snickered. "I've got a nice cat o' nine tails you can use on him. Just make sure you clean the blood off of it when you're done."
"No!" I growled. I tried to get out of Raul's arms but I was as weak as a kitten. "You can't do that to Javier. He didn't do anything wrong!"
"He put my mate in danger," Zale snarled.
"No time," Tyler lectured again with a shake of his head.
Zale grumbled. "Fine," he snarled, turning. "Amanda, do your best. We're going to burn that fucker and his entire pack down. You won't have much time to get Clara out of there."
I nodded and Raul smiled. "Don't worry about that, Prime. She's in good hands." he nodded to Jesse. "You can help me. We're not sure which powers she has yet so the more teachers the better."
"I'll help," Javier offered.
Raul gave him a deadpan glare. "You can wait with Bo. Both of you need to train the men in this pack. One of you will have to stay here when we lead the attack, you know that right?"
Bo huffed. "No fucking way. It would make more sense for one of you hounds to do it. You're supposed to be so amazing, right?"
Raul smirked and it made me shiver. "Oh?" his voice was a purr and my insides quivered. No matter how much of a mess Javier had just made of me, I couldn't deny the sudden interest. I wouldn't act on it, I had my mates. It's not like I needed more. No matter what that kind of growl made me think of. "I can show you how amazing I am," Raul offered. "We could let our dear Luna see too. I'm sure she'd love it."
Bo turned and slapped Javier on the back so hard he made the other wolf stumble forward. "Come on, let's get those men trained. We can't be slacking."
Raul chuckled but I watched them go utterly baffled. I craned back to look at Raul to try to figure it out and he only laughed harder. "What's all that about?" They didn't even say goodbye to me.
Raul grinned. "You'll find out later, Luna. I promise you that." He smirked. "But for now, we should focus on your training. We need to know what kind of powers you might have, and train you on manifesting them. After we take out this troublesome pack, we're going to go after the demons too. When we're done, no one else will dare to stand against the Primes."
