Forsaken by the Moon Goddess novel Chapter 29

Scarlet

I can t believe that I’m going to be Sloane’s Beta. I’m so excited. Graduation can’t come soon enough. I can’t WAIT to see that asshole Gabriel’s face when I challenge him for the position of Beta. He is so unworthy of that title

But, all of that has to wait. Sloane hasn’t told Alpha Waylon and Luna Judith that she accepts her position as their heir, so she certainly hasn’t told them about me yet.

And since she’s out schmoozing with BWFive tonight, I get to show up early to the pack and see what gossip I can find out for her. I’m sure slimy Gabriel will try to stick his nasty tongue down my throat again. Eww.

I sigh. I really was hoping that Will was my mate. But he’s not, and I have to let that go. It’s not easy, but I want my fated mate. As great as Will is, there’s a reason the Moon Goddess chooses your mate for you. He may be amazing, and I know he’s perfect for someone, but he’s not perfect for ME. I’m not so arrogant that I think I know better than the Moon Goddess. But that doesn’t mean I’m not disappointed. I was so positive that we were mates, that I never really paid attention to anyone else.

As I pull up to Alpha Waylon’s pack lands, I realize it doesn’t matter if I had paid attention. I obviously haven’t met my mate at school. I haven’t met him in my pack or Sloane’s, so who knows where he will be. Alpha Roman didn’t meet Luna Samara until he was in his mid-twenties.He tells anyone who asks that it was worth every minute he was alone to have Samara in his life now. So, I will be patient. I will trust the Moon Goddess, and I will wait.

1 pull up to the packhouse and wave at Alpha Waylon and Luna Judith who are waiting for me. Davina starts shifting around in my head, but she’s not acting concerned, so l step out of the car and grab my bag.

“Hi!” I say as Davina starts trying to push forward.

Davina, what are you doing?’

She doesn’t answer me, but she doesn’t settle either.

‘Is something wrong?’ I ask her.

‘No. I don’t know, she says.

“Is everything okay?” I ask Alpha Waylon as I walk up to them.

“Yes, of course. We’re glad you’re here. We were hoping we you’d want to have dinner…”

I spin around as the scent of dark honey and tobacco fills my nose. It smells rich and earthy and delicious.

I drop my bag as Davina begins growling.

“Beta Scarlet?” Alpha Waylon says.

I ignore him as the scent gets stronger.

When he races around the side of the packhouse, I stop. Ican’t believe it. I HAVE met him. Ljust wasn’t eighteen yet.

“Mate!” he growls.

“Mate!” Davina says and leaps at him, wrapping our body around him and shredding his clothes as his mouth finds ours in a passionate, dominating kiss.

He growls possessively and so does Davina. It takes me a moment to realize he’s walking us inside.

“Do I need to worry that you don’t want this?” he says, as l nip at his throat.

“Does it seem like I don’t want this?” I growl, ripping what’s left of his shirt off.

He growls an even more possessive growl. “Then you’re mine, Scarlet.”

“And you’re mine, Daniel.”

Sloane POV

“Scarlet met her mate? Who?” I ask, frowning.

“Daniel,” Grandpa Waylon says.

I frown. “Why is that a problem?”

“Well, it was more that we weren’t sure that he gave her time to agree to the mate bond. They sort of… attacked each other,” Grandma Judith says.

I snort. “Well, that sounds like Scarlet.””Wasn’t she hopeful that Alpha Will would be her mate?”

Grandpa Waylon asks.

“She was, but she also has faith in the Moon Goddess and the mate bond. Where is she now?” I ask.

“Uh, they haven’t left Daniel’s room since she got here.”
