The Moon Goddess' Daughter

Chapter 7

Elisa’s POV-

We arrived back at the car, to find my parents there with the warriors standing guard around all the vehicles. My mum had an ambulance ready for us to be checked over, the doctor was standing waiting with my parents. Drake wouldn’t let me walk at all. I knew they would all be there, because I had called them on the way there. The warriors standing guard had earned warning growls from not only Drake, but my father and even Elijah growled at them, when they were caught staring at my legs. I love hearing Drake growl. Doctor Brown directed Drake to some gurneys. Drake set me down on one, and immediately covered my legs with the blanket on the gurney. Elijah was placed on the other side.

“Kenneth, can you go fetch Elisa’s backpack please,” Drake said.

Kenneth nodded, and went off to the car. Mum and Dad came over to us, opening a mindlink between us all. Even Doctor Brown was included in the mindlink. Dad growled, “What the hell happened?”

“Elijah and Elisa were in a fight. Elijah is badly wounded, Elisa has some cuts and a bite on her hip,” Drake growled.

“I lost control of my Lycan. Elisa and Storm put him in his place though, I have control back now,” Elijah interjected.

“You lost control of your Lycan. No heir to the royal family has ever lost control of their Lycan. It is part of the reason we train so hard,” Dad gasped.

“Well, I have been heavily distracted for the past few years, concerned with my mate, and trying to hone my mind-link to see if I could reach out to her, but I never was able to. Shadow had been getting more and more pissed. Then, when we found out where she was, he got so happy and excited, but you told us to wait. I understood why. I would be able to smell her far more easily after I turned eighteen, and it would only be fair for my own twin sister to have some time with her own mate, and not have to spend it wounded or anything. It didn’t sit right with him; he was pissed more than ever. I fought hard to hide his emotions from coming out. I went along with your plan. I was actually having a good time at the party, for the most part. Then when Drake got up on stage and proposed to Elisa, Shadow lost it again, growling that it could have been us. I really struggled to control him after that. I congratulated them. The last thing I remember was being in my room, to cool off and I was about to cry, because I didn’t have my mate with me like Elisa did. Then everything went black. I remember bits and pieces of things that happened. They’re coming in waves. I am sorry,” Elijah explained.

“Elijah, you are going to be training with me for the next year, every day. We need to get you and your Lycan fixed. I take it that was the first time your Lycan has been let out since you found out Diana had been taken,” Dad said.

Elijah nodded, but remained silent. Dad shook his head. Mum stepped forwards, at that point, “You will also need to go to therapy. Doctor Brown will sort that out for you.”

Elijah nodded, “I will also make everything up to Drake and Elisa. They deserved more time than what they had. I should never have hurt my sister the way I did. I know that, and I am sorry for it.”

“I had to put Shadow in his place, so don’t worry about hurting me. You are worse off than me,” I replied.

“No, Elisa, he needs to worry. He hurt his own sister. He hurt my mate; he needs to be sorry. When he is better, he had better prepare for a beating from me. He deserves it,” Drake growled.

“I do deserve it,” Elijah agreed.

“Well, Drake, you can be involved in the training. Help him spar. That way you can give him a daily beating,” Dad said.

“Doctor Brown, could you check over their wounds please,” Mum asked.

Doctor Brown went to Elijah first, which made Drake growl. Elijah nodded, “I would rather you checked on Elisa’s wounds first.”

Doctor Brown nodded, and went over to me. She lifted the blanket up. I pointed towards my hip, where I knew the wound was. She lifted Drake’s shirt up over my hip, examining the bite mark left by Elijah’s Lycan. She gave me a soft smile, and said, “Well, your wound has already healed, your majesty. It doesn’t look like it will scar either. You may have a scar until the wound is completely healed and gone, but it won’t need to be covered. Make sure it stays clean. Let me know if there are any problems. My doors are always open to you, and congratulations to both of you.”

She gestured to my new mark; the one Drake had put on my neck last night. She covered my hips with his shirt and the blanket over my legs. While she did that, I felt Drake’s grip tighten on my hand. I nodded at Doctor Brown; she was getting really old now. I know she was training her replacement, but they were still in training. I turned to look at Drake, I could see the mix of emotions in his eyes. Worry and concern for me. Anger for being held back, for what Elijah had done and said to me. But there was love and pride in his eyes as well. Love for me. Pride was obviously because I held my own against the Lycan of the future King of all beasts. I walked away with very little in the way of wounds.

“Don’t ever do that again. I don’t care that he is your brother. You are my mate. It is my job to protect you. I love you,” Drake smiled at me.

I smiled, “I love you, too. You saw my Lycan. She can handle herself. I trained to protect myself and our future children.”

Drake pulled me against his chest, giving me a huge hug. It was one of those crushing hugs men give you when they are worried or concerned about you. He pulled away, only slightly. His arms were still wrapped around me. Our eyes met, he moved in slowly, pressing his lips to mine. It was a slow and gentle kiss. He pulled away a moment later. But I could feel how hard it was for him to pull away like he did. We had people around us, people that were watching us. Most of all my family. He knew what my dad was like, and didn’t want to make him growl. But even after Drake pulled away, there was no growl or anything from my dad. I think we were both surprised.

We turned to look at my dad, and he just smiled at us, “I am glad you two are finally marked and mated, but Drake, always remember if you ever hurt her, you will answer to me.”

Mum came over and hugged us both, with a smile, “I am so happy for you both. You are officially my son, Drake. When this is all dealt with, Elisa, you and I will be doing wedding things.”

Meanwhile, Doctor Brown had finished examining Elijah, and began to speak, “Well, it seems Elijah is already healing quite well, your bone needs to be set, but you will be off of it for a week or so.”

Elijah shook his head, “No, I can’t. I need to go rescue Diana.”

“I will heal you, Elijah. But if you put one toe out of line, I will personally break that leg again, so you have to go back to the hospital,” Mum growled at him, pointing her finger.

“I will do anything; I will listen to every word. I swear,” he said

Mum nodded, and approached Elijah, placing her hand on his leg, a purple light shone. A few moments later, she pulled her hand away because Elijah was now healed. He smiled at Mum, “Thank you,” he whispered.

Kenneth handed Drake my backpack, so I put some of my clothes on. Kenneth also handed Drake another t-shirt. Kenneth smirked, winking, “So, you don’t get distracted by your beast of a mate.”

I knew I blushed a little at that point. I mean who wouldn’t get distracted Drake has the body of a god. Drake shook his head, and said, “Maybe it is worth you dressing inside the ambulance, for my sanity and everyone’s safety.”

“Good idea,” Mum whispered, chuckling.

Elijah was handed some clothes, as he sat up, and said, “Drake, Elisa, I am truly sorry. And, congratulations on finally marking and mating one another.”

He smiled at us. I smiled back, “Thank you, Elijah.”

Drake stiffened slightly, but still said, “Thank you.”

After saving Diana, there was going to be some major relationship fixing after this, and some healing on Elijah’s part after that. I placed a kiss on Drake’s cheek, before I stood from the gurney, with backpack in hand. I headed straight to the ambulance. Drake closed the doors behind me, standing guard outside the doors. Typical mate thing. They never like any other male looking at their mate, especially if she is exposed, or if they are unmated. I quickly changed into a sports bra, leggings and top, I had in my backpack and I slipped on the spare pair of shoes too. I knocked on the door to the ambulance, so that Drake would know I was ready to get out. The door got opened for me. Drake is always the gentlemen.

He helped me from the ambulance. I noticed that Elijah was now fully dressed. The gurneys had been folded up and were ready to be put back on to the ambulance. Drake smiled at me. We all moved to group around my parents away from the ambulance, to allow Doctor Brown’s team to pack away the gurneys. Doctor Brown came with us. Elijah was back to normal though he was still very sad. Kenneth came to stand next to me, while Drake stood the other side of me with his arm firmly wrapped around me. Kenneth leaned in, and whispered, “That was a good fight, by the way.”

I smirked slightly, but concealed it the best I could. Mum and Dad were standing together. Dad looked at us, before speaking, “Elijah, remember stick to the plan, do everything we say. You will ride with us. Hunter, you can ride with us too, if you choose. If not, you can go with Kenneth, Drake, and Elisa. Doctor Brown, I would like you to ride with us. We still have an hour car journey, so I want you to use that time to talk with Elijah and get a better idea of how we need to help him. Violet and I would like to hear how we can help him, and I think Hunter should know how to help him, and to understand any signs or tells, that way he can help Elijah in the future. We need to move now, so start getting in the car.”

Everyone nodded, then my dad turned and shouted, “Everyone, let’s get moving, get back in the vehicles.”

All those on guard made their way back to the vehicles, just like us. Drake led me back to his car with Kenneth following us. He chucked his key to Kenneth, as he chuckled, “Don’t scratch it.”

Drake opened the back door to the car for me, and let me get in first. He slid in beside me. Kenneth jumped into the front seat of the car, put the key in the ignition and turned it. Once all the doors were closed and the car engine purring away, Drake grabbed me, and pulled me on top of him. My knees were forced on either of his hips. He grabbed my hips, and pressed me against him. I could feel how hard he was. He whispered in my ear, “You have no idea how hard it was for me to watch you fight, and now not be able to take you afterwards. I hate that we couldn’t spend more time alone together.”

“Well, you just have to wait a little bit longer, and then we can go home and be alone for the rest of the day,” I smiled at him.

“My dragon needs to mark you again. He hated not being able to stop you from fighting. It is a dragon thing, we need to mark our mates after anything big in our lives or any time they get into fights. A male dragon thing,” he said.

I wasn’t going to deny my mate that kind of need. I tipped my head to the right, bearing the left side of my neck, which bore his mark already. He smiled, but didn’t hesitate. His teeth elongated into his dragon’s teeth, and immediately plunged into my neck. My head fell back as a moan left my lips. Desire flooded through my body, and down to my core, involuntarily causing my hips to gyrate against Drake’s hard length beneath me. I knew the scent of my arousal was flooding into the air. His teeth retracted from my neck, and he sealed his new mark by licking it, as his hands gripped my hips harder, stopping my movements.

“Don’t start something we can’t finish yet, Elisa. Remember Kenneth is driving,” Drake’s deep voice sounded rough, it was full of lust.

When he mentioned Kenneth, that was when I remembered that he was in the car, and I felt my cheeks burn red. He would have been able to smell my arousal. That was when I realised he had cracked the window open and turned the music on to drown out whatever we were about to do. It was the first time I noticed the car was moving. Drake chuckled, as I buried my face in his chest. When they said that you could get lost in moments with your mate, they weren’t kidding. The moment Drake placed his hands on me, everything else and everyone else was completely forgotten.

“Don’t mind me. I am sure that you will catch me in some awkward positions, once Drake’s cousin is old enough to be my mate,” Kenneth chuckled.

“Let’s just focus on the rescue mission,” I whispered, trying to get off of Drake’s lap, but he wrapped his arms around my waist tightly.

“No, I just want to hold you until we get there,” Drake said.

I nodded, and relaxed into his embrace. He held me tightly. I found myself falling asleep in his arms. Neither of us got much sleep last night, and I had shifted to fight my brother’s Lycan. Shifting is tiring on a normal day, but fighting in wolf form. We had an hour's car drive, so we both had time to get some sleep.
