Their forced luna

I really didn't understand what the big deal was about where I came from. All I cared about was getting

Clara back and putting Rigar down like the mad animal he was once and for all. I could be Lucifer's

daughter if it helped me reach my goals.

Raul chewed on his thumb nail, staring off into the distance at the targets scattered around the area. I

still hadn't mastered just aiming at them, but we were getting closer.

This time I had frozen half a target.

"Maybe we're doing this all wrong."

Jesse shrugged. "What are you talking about? She's getting there."

"No, she should be focused on moving targets. She's not going to have the time to focus her powers

and attack one at a time."

I stared out past them, past the targets, the trees, just back in the direction I'd once came from. I was

so close to being able to finally take on Rigar.

It scared me, facing him. But I would be even more scared if I just let him continue to ruin my life.

I touched my forehead. It was like I could see his smirk and the possessiveness flashing in his eyes. It

filled me with loathing. I reached for the power deep inside me like I had been, but this time I didn't

waste time gathering it up.

No, instead it came to me as if called by my hatred.

One by one the targets all around me where set on fire as I embraced Ares power completely. A fine

shine of ice crept up my toes but I didn't care. I would burn Rigar to cinders the next time I had to deal

with him.

Raul and Jesse stopped talking as they looked around. They looked back at each other and grinned.

"Looks like our Luna is a fireball," Raul chuckled.

"She's more than that," Jesse agreed. "I'm just not sure what yet. We should ask Ty about it."

"Amanda, you can stop burning half the forest down now," Raul suggested with his hands held out to

the side. "I think we've established you've got some power inside you."

I smirked before red-hot pain lanced across my forehead that caused me to double over. I could

practically hear Rigar's laughter.

"That's it," snapped Raul.

I jerked my head up to try to understand what he was doing but the hound strode over to me. "Luna,

there's not much time for this, but you know what I am, you've seen my powers at play. Javier's idea

didn't last long enough, and if anything, it's put you in more pain. Let me end this."

"End this?" I tried to understand what he was telling me. What did he mean end it? And what did his

power have to do with anything?

"Are you sure?" Jesse glanced around looking for something. "I'm not sure if the Prime will really

approve that or not."

"I don't care," Raul snapped back. "Amanda, I'm going to take you as a mate right now, and drain the

fucking power out of that asshole."

I stared at him. I couldn't have heard that right. Raul wanted to take me as a mate? Sure, I'd had a

feeling he might, but he was being very clear about it right now.

"Raul," Jesse warned.

But the other man didn't listen. He cupped my nape and tilted my head to the side. His lips brushed

against the length of my neck until he whispered into my ear. "With this, I give you my protection, Luna,

as you become mine." He sucked my lobe into his mouth and bit down on it until I gasped.

A bond flared to life with him, but it was different than my other mates. It was similar with Ares how I

could feel another wolf around, but more tangible in a way.

His hound form walked through my mindscape and straight to me. I was frozen in place, not sure how

to react.

"Calm down," his beast growled. Unlike Ares this one sounded exactly like Raul. He shook his head.

"That's because I am my beast, and he is me." He pressed the tip of his snout against my ear where

his mark was and the pain from Rigar's mark slowly faded away.

When it stopped hurting completely he gave me a wolfish grin.

"How did you?" I whispered. I mean I understood his powers. I'd seen what they'd done before, but that

and this were two very different things.

He nuzzled against my chest. "Soon as I heard what he had done to you, I knew this would be the

outcome for us. You would belong to the hounds."

"Hound," I corrected. My mind was still racing. Ares stood in a corner of my mind, observing but his

rage was almost palatable. What would Zale say when he heard what happened? Would he fight Raul?

"Hounds," Jesse suggested with a sigh. I hadn't noticed when he came behind me. "If you gain the

strength of one of us, you should gain the strength of all of us. I'll give you the choice to say no though.

But when Tyler finds out, he'll offer this too."

I stared at them struggling to comprehend. Did they all want to piss off Zale and the others? Were they

so confident that they could handle the wave of rage coming their way? "Why? You're all different

people. What would it matter if one of you makes a claim?"

Jesse gently kissed my shoulder and I didn't pull away, I was stuck too mesmerized by him. "Hounds

are different from wolves. When one of us claims you, the pack claims you. They're not bonds made

lightly. You're free to tell us no and reject us but..." he trailed off and kissed the side of my neck.

"You'll cause them pain everytime you're around them," Raul finished for him. "Which considering our

duty is to guard you and the Prime, will be almost always constant."

Jesse kissed my ear. "It's your choice, don't worry about the consequences, just do what you feel is

right. Will you take my mark, Luna?"

I wished I could ask one of the others what to do. I felt like a flame about to be snuffed out.

Should I take their offer and let their power run through me, or should I turn the other two down and

make them suffer for doing their jobs?
