Their forced luna
Chapter 84

Amanda

"As you wish." Raul's voice rumbled. I tried to crack an eye open to see his response but the strain was too much. He continued to gently pet me like I'd been a cat.

The heavy weight that had been crushing me ever since his mind had brushed against mine faded away. I sagged at the relief of it. "Thank you," I whispered.

"And after the 'you' of that time is buried, Luna, you'll become ours. Because we will get you back and kill the one that touched you. He will be ripped limb from limb. The Prime's Luna will die and the Luna of the Hellhounds will be born in that moment."

"That's not what I said, Raul."

"It is what I said, Luna." he whispered into my ear. My hairs stood on end and he chuckled. "Sleep."

I yawned at him but I couldn't struggle anymore. I'd figure out how to handle the hounds later.

The world faded away, and I slept.

Or thought I'd slept.

I looked around me at the little cafe. How had I gotten here?

"Sit," demanded a sultry voice. She smiled at me over a cup of coffee.

Sabbi. "Moon Goddess," I greeted. "I don't need to-"

"Sit," she ordered me again. My wolf responded instead of me and I plopped into the seat.

She gave me a thin smile and nodded to a cup in front of me. "We have a discussion to have, you and I, Amanda." She took a long sip of her coffee.

This was a dream right? I picked up the cup and hot chocolate appeared in its depths filled with tiny little marshmallows. "We don't have anything to talk about."

"You are one of my subjects. I saved you from an abusive Alpha. Is this how you repay me?" she clicked her tongue and shook her head. "Kneel," she whispered.

My wolf jerked me out of my chair and to the ground. My forehead hit the hard tiles. Why wasn't she listening to me?

Sabbi laughed. "Do you see who here is in control?"

I glared up at her. "You can force my body, but I'll never give in to you. Kill me if you want."

She snorted. "Childish," she scolded. "Kill you? Amanda, you are carrying the future right now. Why would I ever try to kill you? All of my dreams and plans of revenge will come true when that child comes out of you."

"He'll never be what you want. I won't let him be like that."

Her leg bobbed up and down as she thought about my words before she laughed at me. "I was wondering why you were being so brave. You really think your Prime is going to win, don't you?"

"He'll never submit to you, Sabbi."

She shrugged. "He doesn't have to." she pointed to me and intense blazing pain struck me at each of the marks my mates had left me. Ares growled and tried to take over but it was like a wall had been created between us and him. "Only you have to. As a wolf, you belong to me. Those mates of yours are going to be taken away from you one by one."

I struggled against her powers. The pain made my body twitch. "No," I whispered.

"The Primes will pay, their Luna will suffer," she sneered.

No no no! The bonds were being pulled apart like fragile thread. I had to stop it. "Please, don't do this," I begged.

"Nothing you say will make me stop. The Prime has served his purpose, the rest I don't care about, but you took away one of my loyal warriors. You will pay for that."

I curled up into a ball. Ares howled not just in frustration but from pain. I wouldn't have him for too much longer.

"That's enough, Sabbi," the pain was turned off like a faucet and Teniv stood in front of me facing off against her. "This one doesn't belong to you any longer."

Her eyes turned to solid black. "You!" she snarled. She grabbed her cup of coffee off the table and flung it at his face.

Teniv didn't move. He let the hot liquid him him instead of me. "Are you done?"

"No! Not until I take everything from you. Everything that you've ever loved, like you did to me."

Teniv sighed. "You're still just as childish as ever, Sabbi. I never took anything from you, I only pointed out that the way you wanted to rule was cruel."

"Bastard," she snarled.

Teniv glanced over his shoulder at me. "Luna, are you alright? Let me help you up." He leaned down and took my hand and pulled me to my feet.

"What?" Sabbi's eyes grew wide. "You can't do that. She's mine! She's a wolf!"

"She is a Prime," Teniv growled back. "She is one of mine and I will not let you mess with her or her mates. There is nothing you can do to take her marks away or prevent her from creating new bonds."

She laughed and her fingers clenched into a fist on the table. "There's nothing I can do, huh?" she whispered. Her head rose and a manical glint shimmered in her eyes. "We'll see about that. Fine, I can't take her mating marks away, I'll accept that. Let's see you stop this."

I opened my mouth to ask what she was talking about when red-hot pain blossomed across my forehead. I screamed and reached out to brush the burning sensation away but nothing I did was helping. The pain only got worse.

And that's when I felt it.

The cool icy touch of my tormentor. At first there was interest and confusion, and as the bond settled into place between us, it was just total satisfaction and laughter that echoed in my head.

A bond with Rigar had been forged and there was nothing I could do to stop it.

"Tell Rigar I said hello, Luna. He'll be the one that takes care of that child of yours and makes sure the days of the Primes never happen again."
