The Moon Goddesses Descendant

Chapter 7 Proving Myself

Samantha POV

    Rage, pure and utter rage. The simple fact that the pack doubts me makes me mad but then my own mate to doubts me! Why? Why is it that every time I turn around everyone thinks I’m a failure? Maybe that is why my mother disappeared. Maybe the moon goddess was wrong about me trusting him. Fine, if that is what everybody wants to think then I, will just have to prove them wrong. I will beat every single god dam one of them if that is what it takes but I am going to start demanding some respect.

Asher looks at me in concern and the whole crowd gasps.

“Sam are you okay your eyes are pure silver!” father asks

    “Lets get this over with Asher. Since you seem to think I cannot do it, shift into your wolf. Let Xander take over. Throw away what we have and fight me. FIGHT ME LIKE A GOD DAM WOLF.” I yell at the end as my final shred of peace in my body breaks and I run at him full speed.

    He hardly has time to jump out of the way and shift before I am already back to his side, plowing my shoulder into his wolf’s ribcage and sending him flying. He lands on his feet but is breathing heavily. I can tell that by the force of my blow I have broken at least one rib if not two and I can feel his pain, his worry, and his sadness through the bond. But at this time I do not care. The royal guards begin to get anxious seeing there alpha getting hurt but father order’s them to stop.

    “This is a challenge between the two of them. It is not to the death and you know neither one of them would do any real damage to each other so do not worry.” He says to the men even though you can tell by the look on his face he is worried as well.

“Come on Alpha, you sounded so sure of yourself earlier what happened to that confidence?” I say running at him again.

    He jumps over me in time, but I launch myself off the tree behind me and land on his back. Rapping my arm around his neck, ignoring the sparks of our touch, I put pressure on his windpipe as he tries to shake me off. He ends up falling and shifting back into his human form, grabs me by the waist and spins me around pinning me to the ground.

“Don’t do this Sam. Look at me. It’s me, I am your mate please stop this.”

    I ignore his pleads by rapping my legs around his waist pulling him down to me. As he is distracted by this bold move, I flip us over so I am on top now. Holding me forearm to his neck I notice his eyes go black.

“Sam its me Xander stop this love. I beg you, Asher was stupid I promise he didn’t mean to insult you or doubt you.” He says in a deeper and harsh voice as I have not yet let my arm up.

“Do you give in then?” I ask

“Yes we submit you win.” He says.

I jump off of him and back up a few paces as some of the guards run to his side. I look at the crowd who is silent and I address them.

“I may be a lowly Omega in your eyes but as you see I can hurt every single one of you with out mercy. I don’t care who you are, cross me ever again, any of you and I will not be afraid to challenge you to the death.” I yell making everyone go to there knees and show their necks in submission.

With that I turn around grab my clothing and take off towards the house. This is the last place I want to be at. I am still fuming mad and need to calm down.

                Asher’s POV

                What just happened? How could I let her beat me like that in front of everyone?

‘She was beyond mad at us for doubting her. Her anger was her fuel for that fight. She felt the need to prove herself to everyone and I think that stems from her thinking she does not deserve to be our mate or future queen.’ Xander tells me.

    I can feel the pain and sadness through the bond and see it in her eyes as they try to change from silver to her normal green. I know that anger all to well. I have felt it before when I had lost my brother.

    I was 15 almost 16 at the time. My brother was 13. His name was Laine. We were playing out in the royal forest deep in the mountains and were attacked by a group of 30 rogues who had slipped the guards by masking there scents. I tried hard to protect him, but I was over-powered, and I had to watch him dye in my arms. I knew all too well what loss felt like and the anger I felt after was far to much for me to handle on my own. It took everything my parents had to control me so I did not go onto a rampage after every rogue within 100-miles of our territory. They had to use a tranquilizer on me a few times when I began to lose myself. It took me almost 6-months to stop going ferial.

As Mark helps me stand up everyone is still on there knees including my men.

“What was that power I felt coming from her?” I ask him looking confused.

    “I don’t even know but it made Cody and I submit to her as well. If she is a late turning wolf, she will be the most powerful of our race. It is no wonder the moon Goddess paired her with you, but I fear she is in pain by what has happened here this morning. I know you may feel embarrassed, but I think you need to go after her. As her mate, if she is an alpha like it seems to be, she will need you to calm her down. Go get her Asher I will take care of everything here along with this omega work problem we are having.”

    “Thank you, Mark. I’ll bring her back, I promise, I’ll see you back at the house.” And with that I left to follow after my hurt mate. I need her in my arms, I need her to know how proud I am of her. She is beyond anything I could have thought her to be.

Marks POV

    What I just witnessed was beyond anything I have ever seen. I have never seen a person, werewolf or not, with that much power. I turn to my pack now who are still on their knees, which at this point they should just stay there.

“Anyone who doubts her ever again will be stripped of title and made an Omega themselves. And anyone who tries to bully her or force her to do anything will be banished from this pack.” I paused looking for a response or challenge.

“DO. I. MAKE. MYSELF. CLEAR.” I yell.

“YES ALPHA.” Everyone answers.

“Good now all of you go home today’s training is over with.” And with that everyone leaves.

“Cheyenne how are Reece and Blaine?” I ask with thick worry in my voice. She did a number on the two of them in a matter of minutes.

“Well Reece has just woken up, but he is going to have a sore neck for a few days. Blaine is awake but has a broken rib from the impact against the tree and a couple of cuts on his back that will heal really quickly.” She says as we walk over to where they are sitting.

 “I am sorry Alpha for failing you.” That is the first thing out of Blaine’s mouth when he sees me.

    “Why are you apologizing if anything I should be thanking you, you are the one who trained her and as you can see, she did amazing. She took you out and then took Reece here down within 30 seconds. Not to mention what she did to Asher while he was in his wolf form causing a broken rib and forcing him to shift back. She also brought every single one of us in the pack to our knees at the end and demanded respect from everyone. There was nothing you could have done to stop her if her own mate couldn’t even do it.” I say with a smile while shaking my head.

She will make an amazing Queen of our kind.

Samantha’s POV

    I was running for the house when I heard someone coming up behind me. By this point I was beginning to cool down some but was now to the point I just wanted to hide and cry. The scent of dark chocolate and pomegranates drift in the wind and I knew it was Asher who was running after me. This made it even harder to not let the tears spill from my eyes. I had hurt him like it was nothing. I had let my rage take over me and I broke him. Why did I do that. You are not supposed to hurt your mate no matter what, so why was it so easy for me to? I could feel all his pain yet in the moment I felt nothing, like I was not in my body. Like I had no control over it.

    I see the house coming into view just in time to feel him rap his arms around my body and hold me tight before I could think of escaping.

    “I am a terrible mate. You do not deserve me… I hurt you and acted as if it was nothing, why did I do that. That’s not how mates should act.” I cry as I fall to my knees and he follows keeping his hold on me. There was no denying the feelings between us. Every touch caused sparks to dance down my body and a fire to grow inside of me. But why was I so insecure. I have always been, and fear, I always will be. I continue to weep as he holds me silently. He turns me around so I can bury my head into his neck and breathe in his scent. We stay like this for a while until I cannot cry anymore.

    “You are not the bad mate love. That would be me.” He says as he scoops me into his arms and carries me bridle style into the house, up the stairs and into what is now our room. As he sits me down on the bed, he goes and gets a warm washcloth as I sit in silence looking at only my hands that now lay in my lap.

    “I am the one who failed you. I should have stuck up for you but instead I made you feel as if you were not enough. As if that even needed to be proven. You are the light of my world and I let my Alpha mentality get in the way of what we have. You are far from being worthless baby girl, as if you didn’t prove it to me the morning you pushed between your father and I, you sure as hell proved it to me today. You are and will always be the only one I get on my knees for Samantha.” He says as he wipes my tear-stricken face with the towel.

    “You are so beautiful and powerful and strong. There is no need to hide it.” He says as he places a hand under my chin bringing my eyes up to meet his.

“May I ask you something?” he asks

“yes” I say in a weak voice.

“Do you regret or hate the fact that I am your mate?”

“Goddess no I would be stupid to think that.”

“Then why do you think I would think any different? I have told you I will never leave you.” He leans in and presses his head to mine.

“Let me prove it to you, please. Let me show you how much I care about you.”

I take a few minutes to gather my thought’s before I answer him.

    “Okay, but I do not want to announce that you are my mate until my birthday please, just 2 more weeks and then I will make my final decision. You never know you may grow to hate me.” I say with a sad smile on my face.

    “I can agree with that. But I’m not leaving your side even at school. We already have the same schedules and I will prove to you in the process that you are my one and only.” He says as he leans in to steal a kiss.

    I feel his lips on mine, at first they are sweet and tender as I match his pace but there is soon a sudden urgency from both of us. He traces my bottom lip with his tongue asking me to open up more for him. The fire he has started in me rages as I open my lips and he slides his tongue inside. His hands that had been on my face slowly slide down to my cheek and then my shoulder. He slowly pushes me back onto the bed. Climbing up so that he is hanging over me, with our lips never separating, he moves down farther to where his large warm hand sits over my breast. As he squeezes firmly down on it my n*****s begins to turn hard and I start to grind on him as our hips meet causing him to moan into our kiss. I was feeling so hot and light-headed I needed to break away for breath. ‘I really hate breathing sometimes’ I think as he moves his lips down to my neck and begins to suck lightly where his mark will go. He continues to travel down till his mouth is over my bra and he unzips the zipper in the front of it leaving my chest to the cold air. I shiver as his mouth comes in contact with my n****e and he runs his tongue in circles around it.

    “Mi Amor, your skin is so soft and hot under my touch. Your body is on fire for me. I love it.” He says as he rubs my breast in his hand and continues to suckle on me. As things begin to get heated there is the sound of the door opening causing us both to freeze.

“Hey sis, are you doing okay, Eli and I have to leave for school soon and wanted to see-” he stops mid-sentence seeing Asher on top of me. I scream and scramble to cover myself as my brother yells.

“Dammit I did not need to see that. Couldn’t you guys at least lock the door if you are going to do that kind of stuff.” Covering his eyes he runs out the door right into the wall.

“NEXT TIME KNOCK YOU DUMBASS” I yell at him as I rush to shut the door.

    Asher is sitting on the bed dying of laughter as I am beet red. I run to the closet to get my outfit for the day and run for the bathroom. I stand under the cold shower for a few minutes until I calm down and then switch it over to hot so I can clean up. I get dressed in a pair of dark blue Levi’s, a black tank top with a light blue denim shirt that hangs down past my hips and my boots. I add a thin black belt around my waist and dry my hair. With a surge of confidence I made the choice to skip the hoodie today and leave my hair down so that it hangs past my waist. I add a little bit of mascara and eye liner as well as a light red lip gloss and head for the kitchen.

    I find everyone but the boys there. Dad and Asher seem to have a dark look across there faces while Blaine and Reece are laughing at each other. I walk over to them and put my arms over their shoulders,

“I am sorry for what I did to you guys I hope you can forgive me please?” I ask while hugging them at the same time. This earns me a laugh from both of them and dad but a growl from Asher.

“Of course we forgive you Luna, but if you put the three of us to shame I think we may need to learn from you.” Reece says with a smile.

“I promise you I was so pissed off that I really don’t even know how I managed it.” I say shaking my head as I make my way over to Asher.

“No hoodie today?” Whitney asks me.

“No, I feel really good about myself today for some reason.” I say 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.

My hand shoots up to my neck and I go red as I turn around and hit Asher in the chest.

“You did not give me a hickey, you ass.” I yell at him.

    “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.” He says handing me a silver necklace with a pendent on it that has the design of a wolf with a crown all in black carved into it and his class ring.

    “I know it wont 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 cant mark you yet this will have to do. Let me put it on you baby girl.” He says with a smile moving my hair from the back of my neck, he latches it and plants a tiny kiss at the top of my spine. As I turn around he looks at me and smiles.

 “You look amazing baby.” He kisses the top of my head causing me to blush.

“Okay love birds we need to head to school.” Whitney says tossing me my keys however Asher grabs them before I do.

“Not today love, I’ll drive you there. Its about time you start being treated like the princess you are.” He says holding open the front door for me like a true gentleman.

Today shall be very interesting.
