Their forced luna

Chapter 80

Amanda

I touched a finger to my lips and to the spot where I had bitten into Bo. There was a bruise there but no

magic no sparks, nothing.

"No," I whimpered.

"Shh," Bo brushed my tears away. "You don't have to cry. It's okay." His voice was cracking.

This wasn't okay and we both knew it.

I closed my eyes and my mind raced. I had to figure out something. Why had this happened? I thought

about it and frowned.

The Moon Goddess. She'd been the one to take the mark away. She had to have been the one to

make it so I couldn't mark him again. I could try calling out to her, pleading to get my mate back.

I didn't want to show any weakness to her. Especially not after everything she'd done. Yes, she'd

helped me away from Rigar but she'd been using me for her own plans the entire time. It wasn't like

she'd decided to help me from the kindness of her heart or because she had mercy on me like I'd first

assumed.

Who else did that leave me?

"Amanda?" Bo kissed my cheeks. "Hey, stop wandering away from me. I'm here, Baby. We're going to

be okay. We don't need a bond to be in love. I'll always love you. You'll always be my mate."

Opening my eyes, I gave him a watery smile. "Thank you," I whispered.

I wasn't ready to give up yet.

I wouldn't plead to the Moon Goddess, but she wasn't the only Goddess out there. There were more. I

remembered Mitsi's story. Would it be too strange to call upon Basetta? Wait, there was another option

through that route. I leaned forward and kissed Bo softly. "I need some time alone. Would you mind

joining the others?"

He winced like I'd given him a blow but he nodded at me. "Of course." He kissed my forehead. "I'm

sorry, Luna. I hate to see you hurt."

I forced a smile to my lips. "It'll be okay."

I would make it okay.

I waited until he left before I got up and got dressed. It probably wouldn't be proper to do what I was

about to do while completely naked. I kneeled down on the ground and clasped my hands together in

prayer and focused. All of my willpower was on exactly one thing. I wanted to reach out to the God of

the Primes.

"Please, as Luna of the Prime I beseech you to answer me. I need your help."

I closed my eyes tight and waited. My prayer rang through my head. Ares and my own wolf cocked

their heads, intrigued at my plan but they didn't interfere.

"Open your eyes, Luna of the Primes," demanded a smooth voice nearby.

My eyes popped open and I stared into a set of pure gold. He looked like any other man. Big, strong,

long black hair that tumbled down his shoulders, except I could see through him. "Are you really him?" I

whispered.

He nodded. "I am. Do you know how long it is has been since anyone has prayed to me? Has pleaded

to me?"

I shook my head and he chuckled. "Never. My people have never sought my help directly. You are the

first. Tell me, what has happened that you call upon me?"

My brain buzzed while I stared numbly at him. I hadn't been prepared for this to actually work. "What do Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

I even call you?" I whispered. "Prime God?"

He chuckled at me. "No, Amanda, you may call me by name since you are the first to ever seek my

help. You may use Teniv, my given name to me from Basetta."

"Teniv," I tried the strange name. He nodded to it. "I have a request from you."

This was entirely selfish. I wasn't about to beg him for Clara or to help me with any of my other worries.

Maybe this wasn't something I should be asking a God.

"It's too late to change your mind now. You have summoned me, let me hear the reason for it."

I took a breath. "The Moon Goddess took away the mating bond and mark I gave one of my mates.

When I was finally freed and able to get back to him I thought I could get it back... but..." I couldn't bring

myself to finish my words.

Teniv nodded. "I see. And so you want me to help you give it back?"

My head snapped up and I stared at him. My heart clenched. Was it really possible? Was it okay to

hope? "Can you?"

"I am a God, Amanda. I was worried at first you were summoning me to interfere in something that a

God has not interfered with yet. Sabbi attacked you directly by taking away your bond. I was once

bonded to her, I can take her seal away and let you mark your mate once more. Your bond can be

restored."

Tears sprang to my eyes and I fell to my knees. "What do you need from me?" It didn't matter the

answer. I would give anything for the sake of my mates. They were a part of me now and losing him

had been like having a limb ripped away from me.

"Need from you? Luna, I am a God. There is nothing I need."

"Then can I ask for something else?" I whispered.

"You seek my help for more than one thing? That does seem greedy, does it not?"

I winced. I knew it was greedy. "It's just my unborn child was cursed by Sabbi."

Teniv frowned his stormy eyes growing ever darker. "Explain."

Was I really about to explain my life history to a God of all things?

Yes. If it would protect the family I wanted then I had to be completely transparent.

"She told me this child will change the fate of the Primes, it will be their downfall."

"I see." Teniv nodded. "I can help you with your mate bond, Luna. However, when it comes to your child

I am at a loss on how to help. While I can fix things Sabbi does directly, I have no control over

something like destiny. However, I don't believe that all things will come to pass as told. Your child is

still unborn and you will have a hand in shaping its future. Stay strong, teach them well, and the Primes

will continue on for generations."

My body burned and I gasped. "What is this?"

"I've taken the seal off of you," he answered as he slowly faded from my sight. "You are allowed to

mark and bond again. It has taken a bit of my power but I will always be on the side of you, my people."

He vanished and I was left alone with tingly lips. I needed to find Bo again and test this returned ability

out for myself.
