The Moon Goddesses Descendant

Chapter 9 It Slipped out I Promise

ASHER POV

--------------------------------------------FLASHBACK--------------------------------------------------

                It is the middle of the night on the 11th of March when I get a mind-link from Reece saying that a royal guard had ran all the way from Colorado to Kansas to deliver a package from the current Queen. ( aka my mother). I leave Sam sleeping in her warm cocoon that she has put herself in.

‘this is killing me, cant you get her to at the very least sleep normally in bed with us?’ Xander asks.

‘Believe me I am trying, she is persistent. It is even hard for her to give me a kiss let alone sleep next to her, but at least she held are hand to go to sleep tonight.’ I remind him.

‘True, but I am starting to think that was more hellish then not holding her at all’ he grumbles as I reach the front door.

    When I open it I am met with Reece and a guard who’s name I do not know. All I do know about him is he is one of the fastest in the pack.

    “I am sorry for disturbing your rest your Majesty but I bring a letter and package from the Queen herself. She has instructed me to give it to no one but you and to congratulate you on finding your mate as well as the future queen of the werewolves.” He says as he has his head lowered and is down on one knee.

    Honestly, this is why I love going off for training at other packs. The formality and submissiveness of the royal court can be extremely draining.

    “It is fine, please raise your head, what is it you have brought and thank you as well. She is different from most but I believe she is what our race needs.”

    He hands me a small  bundle of leather, rapped in a leather cord, with our wax seal on top. As I open it I see my mothers pendent that she never removes. I do not believe I have ever seen her take this off, even as a child when we would go swimming she always had it on and it never seemed to break when she shifted into her wolf form because it was enchanted. There is a short letter that tells me to give this to Samantha as a gift before the marking to show who she belongs to and who is bound to protect her. She also tells me that it is an heirloom that has been past down for 6 generations now to the mates and future Luna’s of the first born in the Royal family.

                I tell him thank you and ask him to stay a few days to recover from the long run that he has had. As one of the maids find him a room I make my way back to Samantha, I notice she has tears at the corners of her eyes.

‘she as been like this since she came home’ Xander says

‘I woke up last night thinking something was wrong and as soon as I placed a hand on her she calmed down’ I think as I brush the tear away and she settles back down into a deep sleep. If she would only let us hold her maybe they wouldn’t happen to start with.

    She is all I can think about as I lay back down knowing that tomorrow is her first day back at training and at school and I worry that she is not ready for it.

-------------------------------------------------------------END FLASHBACK--------------------------------------------------------

                After I calmed Sam down with our rather heated moment this morning I make my way down to the kitchen where everyone is waiting. I think ill give her my class ring and necklace this morning before we take off for school. This is my time to show her how much I love her.

                Yes, that’s right I said love. I know it has not even been two weeks but this girl has etched herself into every fiber of my being. The way she talks , the way she acts, the way she carries herself all drives me insane. I knew, they had always said that the mating bond was strong, I just didn't believe it was this strong. I had seen other she-wolfs in the pack house try to get my attention however not a single one attracted me. I only had eyes for Samantha and that would never change so I knew I needed to prove myself to her that I was worth her time.

                “You know next time you plan on doing something to my sister please lock the door.” Cody said while rubbing his face in irritation.

                “Believe me Cody when I say I was not planning on doing anything it was kind of a heat of the moment type thing. You can't tell me you haven't had those moments with your mate as well?” I question him. I began to laugh as I noticed both him and his mate Whitney’s faces turn bright red.

                “Oh I can tell you for a fact they have. Until the one time that her mother walked in on them and ever since then they always locked the door.” Blaine tells me busting up laughing.

                “I just want both of you to promise me you're not going to make me a grandpa before my time and that you both finish high school.” Mark says with a sigh and an amusing look on his face.

                “Make that 3 of us dad. With all the stuff that went down with Sam last week I never got to tell you that I found my mate.” Eli says with a shy smile in a small voice.

                “What do you mean found your mate boy, why didn't you tell me sooner, who is it.” At this point mark is beyond enthusiastic And I do not see how he didn't realize that his youngest son had found his mate when I noticed it the minute he walked in the office door.

                “Well dad, I don't think you'll like it but do you remember Kat?” he says.

                “Yes of course I do her mother is the leader of the coven that lives on the edge of town why?” he asks.

                “Well, Kat Is my mate. I already know that a lot of packs hates witches but for the fact that our pack accepts which is please do not fight me on my mate let me be with her please.” Eli begins to become frantic and you can see the fear on his face that his father would not accept her.

                “My boy I would never separate one of my sons or anybody for that matter from there mate. The moon goddess has gifted us with mates for a reason and it would be in por taste and immoral judgment to deny any Wolf there mate.” Mark Says while placing a hand on his son's shoulder

                “Thanks dad that means the world to me.” Eli says giving him a hug.

Just as we finish our conversation I see Sam coming down the stairs and it takes me a second to realize that it is her. As her scent filled the room I turned to look at the door to see the most stunning woman I have ever seen walk in. Her long black hair flowed down towards her waist with the shine of the morning sun reflecting on it from the kitchen window. Her green eyes seemed to pop with the sight of makeup on her face . She had only applied a little, from what it looks like it was mascara, eyeliner and some lip gloss but no foundation was needed. Her skin was a gorgeous smooth color of olive. She had on a denim shirt that hung down to mid-thigh with a pair of tight boot-cut Levi’s jeans and her usual black cowboy boots. I get a little jealous when she walks over to apologize to Reece and Blaine for the incident that happened this morning. And as she walks over to me I can't help but smile at her.

                    “No hoodie today?” Whitney asks her.

                    “No, I feel really good about myself today for some reason.” She says with a smile.

    “I’m glad, you look so much like your mother Samantha, she was beautiful and you are too. Though I would keep your hair down to hide that little mark on your neck if I were you.” He says laughing at the end. I love that she is not in a hoodie and if it wasn’t for the fact that we had to go to school I would be taking her out on a date for sure today.

    Snapping me out of my daydream of what I should do for a date with her she begins to hit my chest and it is not light at all.

“You did not give me a hickey, you ass.” She yells at me while still hitting me.

“I want some way for males to know that you are taken since we are not saying anything yet. Speaking of which I want you to wear these.” I say while handing her the necklace and my ring.

    “I know it won’t fit anything but your thumb finger but still I want you to wear it. As for the necklace it is something my mother gave me to give to my mate when I found her and seeing as I can’t mark you yet this will have to do. Let me put it on you baby girl.” I say with a smile moving her hair from the back of her neck, I latch it and plant a tiny kiss at the top of her spine.

 “You look amazing baby.” I kiss the top of her head causing her to blush.

“Okay love birds we need to head to school.” Whitney says tosses her the keys however I am faster and grab them mid-air before they can even get close to her.

“Not today love, I’ll drive you there. It’s about time you start being treated like the princess you are.” I say with a smile.

    The morning went fairly well even after having to deal with the Macy stunt in front of the school today and the way my mate teased me last hour landing me with more homework.

    ‘My bad man, but the way her hand felt on us made me go wild.’ Xander says panting at the thought of her. This thought also made my member grow causing me to shift as we walk into the lunchroom.

    As we near the table with the rest of her gang I notice Reece shifting uncomfortably and the guy name Drake, who had feelings for Sam staring at him. As I pull Reece away to find out what was going on I hear something come out of his mouth that I never knew about him in the 17 years we have grown up together.

    “Asher I didn’t want to think it true but he is my mate.” Reece says confused and flushed the whole time.

    “Wait, your gay?” I ask. I have nothing against it but it did take me by surprise. I mean this is the guy I have been friends with since before we could walk.

    “No I’m bi-s****l and only my family knows about it.” He tells me.

    “This is amazing news man, what is the matter, why do you look like your about to die then?” I ask him.

    “Because he is the one who had feelings for Sam so what are the chances he isn’t bi as well?” he says and I can still see the worry in his eyes.

    “All you can do is talk to him, remember the goddess does not make mistakes when she pairs two people together. This also means he will feel the pull to so give it time.” I tell him,

    “Also Asher I wanted to let you know Alpha Denmark Luna Jaime and your sister princess Raina will be coming her by tomorrow afternoon.” He informs me, causing me to let at a low growl but before I can grumble at this problem, I hear a loud  commotion causing me to turn in time to see Sam being pulled up off the floor by Drake. I run over to her side, scoop her into my arms and place her on the table.

    “Baby look at me, are you okay, did you hit your head, does anything hurt?” I franticly search her to find out where she is hurt and how bad it my be. I am so stupid I turn my back for 2 minutes and she gets hurt. Why does this happen so much? I begin to tell people what to do and where to go.

    “Dawn can you call your mom to come look at Samantha for me, Reece go pick us up some lunch, Cody get your principle and dad down here now and Drake where the hell is the ass who dared lay a hand on my mate.” I demand people to jump when I say so no matter what but as I see Sam smack her own forehead and hear the many gasps around the room, I realize the words that have just stumbled out my mouth.

‘smooth move dumbass she just said she wanted to wait until her birthday to tell everyone. If she rejects us I’m going to go mad’ Xander says with a growl and I begin to worry as I see her take over like a true Luna.

    “Dawn don’t call your mom I am fine I only fell on my ass and was only there for 5 seconds. Reece I can eat lunch here at the school that is okay. Cody please do go ahead and call them because it looks like we are going to have to have a huge assembly at school and at the pack house to announce this. And for the last time Asher let me handle my own fights.” ‘I wonder what the announcement will be’  I begin to worry again as she places a hand on my back to calm me down and all I feel is a wave of reassurance and peace spread over us.

    I watch as Samantha punches Marcus in the face and knocks him out cold as everyone around us gasps in shock, I stand there beaming with pride for the fact that she was my mate.

                “I know dam well it is you who told him to do that so I will wait till father and the rest of the pack are present to hand down your punishment.” Cody says and I remember Reece had told me what he had said to the whole pack after I had left.

    “What has happened out here?” Principle Lance asks in shock coming through the crowd of students.

    “Well you see Marcus here pulled Samantha’s chair out from under her and she punched him in the face knocking him out cold. He is lucky she did it and not me. No one lives’ after laying a hand on my mate and causing her pain.” I spit towards the football players who all have worried looks on their faces.

    “Did you just say mate?” The Principle asks both in shock and understanding of what just happened.

    “Yes I did and I also need you to call an assembly for all the students and faculty as my father Rowen Denmark will be here tomorrow to make an announcement regarding the security of this school. I believe his company, Denmark Security, will be handling the upgrades to this school as well”. The whole student body stands there looking wide eyed. I didn’t want to make a big deal of this but with everything that is going on it looks like I have no choice.

SAMANTHA POV

                The principle gives everyone in our group except the twins permission to go home. Seeing as we have to deal with the pack meeting and the King and Queen coming. I am fuming mad about what just happened at school. I did not want to move this fast. I wanted us to take our time getting to know each other. I am not ready for this at all. What if, after I except him as my mate, they force us to go back to this pack? What if his pack and council do not like the fact that I am human?

‘But you are not human little one.’

    And there’s that to, who the hell is this voice I keep hearing giving me an inner monologue. If meeting the future in-laws wasn’t enough Asher said his sister is coming as well. I didn’t even know he had a sister. And then there will be the punishment for Macy. I do not know what dad had promised to happen to the people who bullied me but the look on her face said it was nothing good.

‘Talk to our mate, he will calm us down’

    “Who the hell is this OUR and US you keep talking about there is only me, SAMANTHA, there is no one else just ME!” I yell out loud instead of in my mind like I meant for it to be causing everyone in the conference room at the pack house to stare at me like I have 2 heads now.

    “Sorry I think I am going to go see Chey and Mike in the clinic cause I think I still have a concussion from hitting my head on the dam.” I say as I back out of the room and take off down the hall. I keep running even though I can hear people calling my name.

    As I bust through the doors of the hospital wing, I find my way to the very back room which is always empty and lay down on the bed. Dad must have called after I took off because Cheyenne comes in a few minutes later and sits down on the chair she had pulled over to the bed.

    “SO, you’re talking to yourself now are you?” she asks with a smile.

    “NO, I am not but I keep hearing this voice in my head and it sounds like a woman and she is calling Asher our mate and keeps talking in plural like there is more than one of me and it is driving me insane.” I said with a sigh as I launch myself back in the bed.

“How long have you been hearing the voice?” she asks

“It all started today right after what happened at school.” I said keeping my eyes closed.

    “Ah yes, the twins called me and told me what had happened. So the whole school knows that you two are mates and now the King and Queen are coming along with his sister. And let me guess you are stressed?” she asks.

    “As if that was all, I worry that I am still not good enough for Asher and that we are moving to fast and that his pack will not like me. I’m also worried that I’ll have to leave as soon as we are mated but I want to finish school here. There is only 2 months left and I don’t want to drop out. To become Queen Luna, as it is, I will have to give up on my dream of going to college and becoming a pharmaceutical engineer and work on cures for peoples illnesses. I also worry that the fact I am human will change everything for everyone.” I say as I start to cry.

‘We are not human little one.’

    “Ugh and this voice keeps telling me ‘we are not human little one’. I mean really what the hell is wrong with me.” I get up and begin to pace around the room as I am blindsided by a hug. At first I was unsure of who it was but then I felt the sparks and dread set in.

“You just heard all of that didn’t you.” I mutter into Asher’s chest.

    “Yes I did and why didn’t you just come to me. I am here for you no matter what. I have told you before that I will never leave.” He looks down at me while running the pad of his thumb over my cheek.

    “I’ll give you guys a minute but I’m going to have Mike come in and draw some blood from you so we can run a DNA analysis to analyze if you are carrying a supernatural gene. Then we may know what is talking in your head.” Chey says as she walks out of the room.

“So was what you said really everything that has been on your mind?” Asher asks sitting me down on the bed.

    “Yes it has, I’m still worried that everyone will hate me and you will reject me and choose a mate that is more fit to rule by your side as. I mean look at me, I am a small-town country hick girl who has no mother, no experience around a Luna or her responsibilities, let alone, experience in a royal court setting. For Goddess sakes this is to be my first year going to the pack competitions and now I may not even get to do that with my own pack. I mean I get the fact that most of them hate me but dammit this is my pack too…” I start to ramble and Asher silences me with a kiss.

    It is soft and feather light. My anxiety begins to fade away and I welcome the feeling of warmth that washes over us. We only break away when we here Mike clear his throat as he enters the room. After he draws my blood and leaves Asher looks at me with a smile and asks a question I wouldn’t have thought about doing with everything that is going on.

“Go on a date with me tonight baby girl…..”
