Forsaken by the Moon Goddess novel Chapter 39

Benedict

I was hoping that Sloane would be waiting for me in her room when I finished showering. Well, only partially hoping. That shower gel… Hoty Mother Moon Goddess! I know it’s not what makes Sloane smell as good as she does, but it’s a very close second. Having that scent surrounding me in the small space of her shower, seeing the evidence of Sloane in the shower, like a dark hair on the shower wall, or the bar of soap that had the marks of a washcloth on it, made my shower seem so much more intimate and my body responded accordingly.

Being a gentleman, i didn’t do anything about my body’s response to her, but damn do I need a private moment… or two… or three.

However, when I stepped out of her bathroom, she wasn’t there. I got dressed quickly and stepped out of her room, but once again, she wasn’t there. Since we were planning to have dinner together, I went downstairs, thinking l’d find her there. However, once again, she was nowhere to be seen.

“Alpha Benedict, you look lost,” a she wolf says to me. I vaguely remember that she graduated last year.

“Have you seen Sloane?” I ask her.

“No, not since warrior training. I’m happy to keep you company while you wait,” she purrs.

“We both are,” another she-wolf says. Bella, I think her name is, she’s a year younger than me, if I remember correctly.

“Why don’t you get some food and çome sit with us, Alpha Benedict,” a third she-wolf says.

I look around the room, wondering where the hell Sloane is.

“I really need to find Sloane,” I say.

She wouldn’t have run off. No matter how embarrassed or shy she was about our relationship being publicized, Sloane isn’t the type of wolf to hide. She might make me regret it, but she wouldn’t run. So where the hell is she?

“I’m sure she’ll surface eventually,” one of the she wolves purrs, putting her hand on my arm.

I pull away from her, not wanting Sloane to see and get the wrong idea. However, that only bumps me into the she wolf that is standing way too close behind me. Her hand slides around my waist.

“We’re happy to keep you company until then,” Bella purrs in my ear.

There’s a very loud snarl, startling everyone in the room into silence.

“Get your fucking hands off my boyfriend,” Sloane growls, slowly walking down the stairs. As always, she’s magnificent. She commands the room, walking with a confidence and grace that others dream about, but could never replicate.

“Sorry, Alpha,” the she-wolves say before quickly moving away from me.

She walks right up to me, wrapping an arm around my neck and kissing me in the most possessive kiss ive ever shared with someone. I love that she’s claiming me openly in front of her pack.

I wrap an arm around her waist pulling her to me and answering her possessiveness with my own.

When she pulls back, she looks at me with more confidence than I’ve ever seen on her face. It’s the sexiest thing I’ve ever seen in my life. In that moment, I fall completely, totally, and irrevocably in love with her.

“Stop teasing my pack members,” she says.

“I was waiting for you,” I breathe, not sure who this confident woman is in front of me but knowing that I refuse to live one moment without her in my life ever again.

“Good answer. Ready to eat?” she asks me.

I raise an eyebrow. “What’s on the menu?” I purr.

“Not that,” she says, blushing and losing the confident expression on her face.”Maybe another day,” I say softly, holding her gaze.”

Someday soon, I hope.”

She turns but takes hold of my hand and leads me to where they have a buffet of food.

We get our food and make our way to a table with her family.

“Alpha Benedict,” Theo says formally.

“Alpha Theo, Alpha Aria, how are you this evening?” I ask.

” think the better question is, how are you, Alpha Benedict?” Slade asks.

“Well, your sister kicked my ass on the sparring field.
