By The Law Of The Moon

So it is

The walk back to the house was completely silent. I wasn’t sure what exactly my mother had told Lucas but I had a feeling that if he knew, he would not take it very well. I had a feeling that he would think that daddy being my true mate was absolutely ludicrous. I mean, when my mom had said that her friend had been mates with her father I was even more shocked.

Was this a common occurrence? Had it ever happened in our pack before?

I was anxious about what our pack would think about me now. Whether they would believe it or not….

My father would have to reject me, I mean he had to….he couldn’t leave my mom for me, that was…. TERRIBLE. My parents believed in the moon goddesses word 100%. In her judgment… so what were they thinking now? Would their beliefs completely change now?

There was only one thing that terrified me more than finding my mate and that was rejection.

I heard that it was like dying. I heard that you could die… most did.

Were my parents willing to let me die?

As Lucas and I made our way into the house I no longer felt like the luckiest girl in the world with the best family in the world. This day had just turned everything I knew upside down.

I would surely be the ruin of everyone elses happiness as well, right?....

When I thought of my father and how I had called him daddy my entire life, I cringed.

The man who had raised me. Held me in his arms and rocked me to sleep when I had nightmares. Who bought everything that I owned, who taught me to be a decent person. Who made me who I am today….

Soulmates were lovers. Lovers who were drawn together in such a way that it was practically impossible to resist one and other. Just being held by him was pleasurable...having his arms around me had made me wet!

I groaned and Lucas looked at me with a worried expression. “What’s wrong Sam?”

I was headed straight for the stairs to go up to my room when his hand caught my wrist.

“I don’t want to talk about it Lu, I can’t. I don’t know what mom told you but you’ll find out no matter what, I’d just rather it be later than sooner.”

His brow furrowed deeper and he sighed. “She didn’t tell me anything, just that you needed me and she didn’t want you to be alone.”

Of course she wouldn’t have told him. She was devastated. She was saving Lucas from having to deal with the same devastating emotions. Would Lucas still look at our father the same after learning that he was my mate.

It wasn’t his fault but this wasn’t an everyday occurrence.

“Everything is different now, Lu…” He slowly let go of my wrist and I moved to the top of the stairs. Before I turned to go down the hallway to my room, I turned to look at him again.

“Just promise me that we will always be as close as we’ve always been and that nothing will change our relationship.”

Lucas was taken aback even more so with my words. I felt bad that he was so confused. It was painful to see. “Sammy...I love you so much, nothing will ever change that. You have my word that we will always be close and I will always look out for you.”

Nodding, I turned and quickly made my way to my room. Once inside, I locked my door and threw myself into bed. My covers became my shelter and I only left a tiny hole to breathe through.

I could always run away ...If I left, nothing else would have to change. I know that it would hurt my family but- I felt like if I stayed it would hurt them too. Where would I go though? I had never been beyond pack boundaries and if I left I would be considered rogue.

On the other hand I was 18 and I was legal so maybe I could make a living in the...in the ‘human world’...the thought alone made me cringe. I’d have to hide who I was. I’d be stuck in ...well s**t, where would I be stuck? I’d have to get a job and then save money to pay rent and-

“Sammy, baby?” The husky sound of my fathers voice through the door flooded my veins with such a pleasurable feeling. Even his damn voice for god sakes. If we made the decision not to pursue this bond it was going to be painful in many ways. I would most definitely have to leave. I couldn’t stand being around him when I could be...with him. I WAS TORN. I loved my father with all of my being. I couldn’t stand not being able to even see him.

Ignoring him, I couldn’t stop the tears from falling once again. I didn’t know how to handle this.

I wished that I could turn back time.

“Sam...I know you’re in there, I can smell and hear you, baby.”

Please go away, please, please, please!

‘Open the door Samantha, or I’ll just let myself in.’ I knew he would mind link me. My neck tickled at the tone of his voice. Goosebumps erupted all over my body.

I still didn’t answer him and about another minute passed before he spoke again in my mind. ‘Fine then.’

I heard him messing around with my doorknob and then my door creaked open. I could feel myself start to panic immediately. But before I knew it, my father was pulling the cover off of me, climbing up onto my bed and pulling me into his chest. He laid down behind me and wrapped me in his arms.

I whimpered not able to will myself to move away. He knew what being close like this did to us. I was overcome by the tingles, the chills, the pleasurable nervousness.

“You can’t run from me baby girl, I’ll always find you. I told you I would come find you in your room when I came back to the house. I always keep my word, you should know that by now.”

He was purposely putting his mouth against my ear as he spoke. It was driving me crazy. The heat, the tone…..his chin was on my shoulder, his stubble scratching against my soft skin. Every sensation was overwhelming.

“J-just reject me daddy, get it over with….” My voice quivered as he started to trail his fingers up and down my arms lightly.

“Reject you? NO, Sammy that isn’t an option.”

He wasn’t going to reject me? What about my mother? Our family? Lucas… the pack...they would all be appalled. I was sure my mother already was, how could she not be? He was her husband.

“Okay. I’ll reject you then-”

“ENOUGH.” He tightly clamped a hand over my mouth and gently bit my earlobe.

I WAS MELTING. I shivered hard, pushing my butt back against his front without even thinking about it. I was met with a very large, very hard bulge once again.

“B-b-but…” The growling noise he made- made me gasp then moan.

“NO buts….I thought I would never find my true mate. I thought I had missed my opportunity, baby. It turns out, I had to wait for you to become of age. I had to help make you it seems...how about that, huh? The goddess works in mysterious ways. I know this is happening for a reason. I’m not losing you, I’m not going to hurt you. You’re mine, my right. It’s only been a few hours but I can already feel our bond growing and I don’t want to be away from you.”

His hand stayed as he jerked forward into my ass and I moaned louder, deep in my throat. This was so wrong but it was right. It was a complete contradiction but it just couldn’t be a mistake.

It wouldn’t be easy, that was the only thing I knew for sure.

The thought of being intimate with my….father...I just...I didn’t know WHAT to think, honestly.

I knew what I was feeling though, it couldn’t be denied or ignored.

Ever since I turned 18, this bond bloomed and I saw him so differently now.

Not even 24 hours had passed yet. What would this bond look like a week from now?

I could appreciate his looks, his touch, his voice… in a way I never had before.

And it was only going to get more intense.

I didn’t know how to not want it. Not after feeling how good it felt.

This is how true mates were supposed to feel these things.

It didn’t matter how or if the two souls knew each other.

Their connection was true, it was real and it was meant to be.

We were two halves of a whole.

“But what about mom and Lucas...this is not how our life was supposed to end up and you know it. My mate should have been someone...someone n-not related to me. We are going to destroy our family. No one is going to accept this.”

In a quick moment he turned me to face him, brushing the hair from my eyes.

“This is going to sound selfish but...it doesn’t matter what ANYONE thinks. And your mother...she is choosing to accept this. When she lost Mason, her whole life fell apart. This was before her and I met. She almost died after her mate died. She thinks that it was her destiny to have you Sammy. She gave you to me. How does that make you feel?”

“I don’t...I don’t know. I don’t want her to be lonely. She’s your wife...Luna, my mother. Daddy-”

“I think you should hold off on calling me Daddy for a little while, baby girl.”

“I’ve always called you daddy. What am I supposed to call you?”

“Diego. Or Dee, like everyone else who doesn’t have to call me Alpha.”

“It doesn’t feel right...you are my-”

“I can’t be anymore Samantha. I can’t be both. I know, it’s not fair baby…” He took my face between his hands, his thumbs catching tears that rolled down my cheeks.

He was right. This wasn’t fair at all.

Finding my mate but losing my father.

“Just because I can’t be both and you can’t call me father, it doesn’t mean I won’t still take care of you. You are even more so my responsibility now than you were a day ago. Do you understand?”

I nodded, licking my wet lips.

“I don’t want Lucas to look at me differently, to hate me, to hate you...and I don’t want mom to be miserable without you….”

“Lucas isn’t going to hate you. He will just have to adjust baby. And your mother will find someone to make her happy, just like I made her happy. She survived losing her true mate. Your mother is one of the strongest women I have ever known. You and Lucas’ life is more important to her than anything else in this entire world. She refused to let me choose. She has chosen for me, not that I could have put my princess through any type of pain. I will always love your mother Sammy. She will always hold a place in my heart and in my life but you are my mate. I’ve wanted this my entire life. I waited almost 30 years for you. From the moment I learned about mates I wanted you…”

His lips pressed gently to my forehead.

Such a simple touch set my body aflame. He kept his lips on my skin and I couldn’t stop my mind from running wild. It happened immediately. I wanted more. I had never done anything beyond cuddling and kissing with other guys. How long could the two of us go before we went all the way?

“W-what about our living situation?” I started to breathe quicker. Again I was panting. This man has always been the ‘manliest’ person I’ve known and now his presence was overwhelmingly so. I’ve seen my father fight, train, lead. He’s strong. He is an Alpha after all. I honestly never thought that my mate would end up being an alpha.

“You and I will be moving to our little cottage on the other side of the hill. We’ll still be close to your mother and your brother. We will go back and forth, visiting. There will never be bad blood between your mother and I. We made this mutual decision, for me to be with you. Before I could get a word out during our talk, she specifically told me ‘you have to be with her.’ I need you to understand that she 100% accepts us.”

His arms wrapped around my back and he pulled me tighter against his front. His nose began to nuzzle my neck and then his lips.

More, more, more...my brain was literally chanting. Knowing my father, he wouldn’t push me. But I knew him as a father, not as a mate. Not intimately. I didn’t know what went down between my mother and him behind their bedroom door. They were very good at keeping their business quiet. But Lucas and I were also out of the house often. And my mother went to his office every single day.

A whimper fell from my lips when I felt his tongue tease my skin. At the same time his thigh snuck it’s way between my legs and rubbed rather roughly against my wet panties.

“Oh baby….” The words were a deep growl. “I have never had a more difficult time with control than I do now with you. You get wet so damn fast for me, Sammy.”

Slowly, he pulled one of his arms from my back to slide his hand down my side.

“How far have you gone with a male before, baby? Be honest with me.”

“C-cuddling, kissing...nothing serious.” My voice was tiny, his hand continued downward. Before I knew it he used both of his legs to spread mine, holding them open. My muscles spasmed and on instinct my thighs tried to close.

“Relax, baby girl.” His lips tickled my ear, his hot breath making me leak. I felt my wetness trail down my inner thigh. Oh God….

“Has anyone ever touched you-” His long fingers gently glided back and forth over my wet core. The cotton material of my panties was completely soaked now, making it possible for his fingers to slip between my p***y lips and up over my clit. Back and forth, back and forth.

I moaned rather loudly, making my cheeks heat. I was embarrassed by the volume of my noises. I couldn’t help it if I tried. His fingers felt so damn good. I had touched myself before but it couldn’t compare to his touch. A strong, alpha male...my mate.

“N-no….never….FUCK.” He pushed my wet panties aside and the tip of one of those rather large fingers teased my entrance. I felt like I couldn’t breathe.

“Good. This is mine. I’m going to f**k this little, hot, tight wet hole with my fingers….my tongue and my c**k, how do you feel about that, baby?”

My fingers grasped his arms painfully tight. My body was shaking as I panted, moaned, whimpered...my forehead was resting against his neck as he played with me.

I never wanted him to stop touching me. I wanted him to hold me forever.

“P-please….” I had no idea what I was asking for. But what he said had made my body so freaking hot. I NEEDED more. Something, anything….

Simultaneously he was sticking his tongue into my ear and pushing his thick, long finger into my core. I’m pretty sure I screamed but I couldn’t be completely sure, I was consumed by the pleasure I was feeling.

He was all I could think about, what he was doing to me, his presence. At that moment nothing else mattered.

“That’s my good girl. Let me hear you. Let it all out.” He slowly pushed his finger in to the knuckle and I was no longer able to fill my lungs completely. I was breathing so shallowly I was starting to feel light headed.

He noticed and pulled his finger out completely. I let out a disappointed sound and he chuckled lightly. “You need to breathe, baby girl. You're going to pass out.” My cheeks heated further. I had a bad habit of blushing when I was nervous or embarrassed.

It was so hard to focus on taking in oxygen with his finger inside of me. He wasn’t going to continue anything with me if I couldn’t bring myself to breathe properly.

“It’s nothing to be embarrassed about my sweet girl. I know it feels good, it’s a new feeling. You’ll have to get used to it. Relax, Sammy.” He took my face in between his hands before he left one soft kiss on my lips, the tip of my nose and then my forehead.

“Also, I don’t want anyone else to hear the noises you make for me. I’m gonna have to soundproof our walls.”

Shit, s**t, s**t. That meant that if my mother or brother were inside of the house they had heard me just now.

“What are you thinking about, tell me- please baby.” I was having trouble keeping eye contact with him as I tried to pull away from his hands and push my head into his neck again. “No. No, no, little one, tell me.”

“Mom, Lucas…” I was thankful that he could understand what was up without me saying a whole lot.

“They went back to help clean up, after celebrations. Your mother's idea. I knew, without you telling me that you haven’t been touched intimately, baby. And knowing that and what might happen when I came to visit you in your room, I had an inkling that you might be loud. There is nothing to be embarrassed about by that. I LOVE that your loud but like I said, those beautiful noises you make belong to me. We aren’t going any further or doing anything else until we’re moved into our own little paradise, okay?”

I knew this had to happen. The two of us couldn’t live with my mom or my brother anymore. I also knew that my mother wouldn’t be Luna anymore...that duty had fallen into my lap. That was another thing that I was terrified of. I was scared that I would do a terrible job.

“When?”

“Tomorrow. Beta Lorenz and some warriors are going to move all of your stuff early in the morning. I linked him on the way to the house to tell him to prepare them all. He knows and he's okay with it. Everyone in our pack trusts in the moon goddess and they all know she makes no mistakes. We will announce all of the changes in a week. I’m also going to leave it up to you to tell Lucas unless you want your mother or I to do it.”

“Thank you for giving me that choice. It’s important to me to be able to talk to Lu before anyone else. You know he’s been my best friend since we were both young.”

My father let out another low growl and it was in that moment that I knew I should have just thanked him. His wolfs jealousy was harder to control than his own. Even if he knew that Lucas was just my brother. His wolf saw any male as a threat to him when it came to his mate.

It’s just the way things worked.

“I’m sorry, baby girl. I do understand and that’s why I’ve left the decision up to you. I’m going to let you sleep. I have some things I need to take care of, I will be back to get you in the morning. I want to start our lives together immediately. I won’t allow another day to go by without you by my side. It’s you and me against the world and I will protect you from all of it.”
