Is a mistake from the Moon Goddess Chapter 399
I heard them all shift and start after me. One after the other, I heard a growl and then charging feet. Even Rick, who knew I was
going to be out here, was charging after me.
Rick, fucking Rick.
Why would he want me to see all of that? Megan’s words were ragged. She was waning, but Nix was pushing her body to the brink.
I think he needed us to see that. Maybe this started as a couple of friends, and he thought they were joking. Or it was a what if, and
then he fell in love with Shelly?
Nix panted but hummed her agreement. I think it was probably in the middle. He thought they were just assholes joking around
with the women they were using, and then he found his mate. But he didn’t want to let go of his friends.
Until his pup came back branded. Megan finished, and Nix agreed.
I feel bad for him. Her words made us stop. But Nix pushed on. This about it, you’re trying to stay loyal to your friends but faithful
to you mate and you think that witchcraft is probably fake and then suddenly your child comes back branded, sick, dying and you
actually know why but you can’t tell you mate because it is a huge betrayal. You thought it was all jokes and then it turned out to
be too real, way too fast and your child’s life is hanging in the balance.
Megan and I felt the pit in our stomachs. It doesn’t matter. Before we decide, one what we should do regarding Rick and Shelly,
we need to get out of here so we can save the kids. Megan stumbled back behind the barrier, leaving Nix riding her body.
I can’t keep up, I’m wiped. She slid against the ground and instantly fell asleep.
Nix? I turned back. Are you okay?
No, her body is too slow and they are gaining on us. I don’t know what to do. She called back, and then I heard it. Racing footsteps
behind me, too close for comfort.
I pushed up to run with her. What can I do to help? We were overlapping, combining our strengths as we ran. I pulled a little bit
from the magic and fed it into our feet.
How are you doing that? Nix sounded breathless and surprised.
Magic. I chuckled as I focused on her feet. Tiny bursts of magic when she pushed off from the ground gave her more momentum.
We started moving faster and faster.
Can you keep this up? She pushed harder, putting more distance between us and the men.
I don’t-
I was tackled from the side, rolling us over the ground and ripping a chunk of fur from our shoulder. Megan was awake, whining
as Nix and I popped up, turning to face who ever caught us. We snarled viciously and snapped our teeth at…Rick.

You mother fucker. Nix was on alert.
Rick quickly shifted. “I don’t know if you are Amy’s friend or working with Amy, but Vince has these woods locked down. Magical
traps set for days. I don’t knowhow you even got out here.” He paced away and I looked away from his naked skin. I didn’t need to
see him like this. “I thought with her magic Amy could get in here to see. Fuck.” He came back, whispering. “I needed to catch
you. I’m sorry. I will message Amy as soon as I get back to let her know we have you, but Vince won’t believe you managed to get
free with me here.” He looked panicked until there was a snap of a stick a ways off. The look died in his eyes, and a new coldness
that I had never seen before was there. It was like the Rick I knew was dead and all that was left was this man I didn’t know. “Over
here. I got her, but she won’t shift for me. Do you think you can force herm Vince?”
A new pit opened in my chest. They couldn’t find out who I was. There were footsteps, and eventually I was surrounded by naked men. “Maybe I’ll have to borrow something from Verity or the twins.” He crouched down near my head but I snapped at him. He grinned. “Feisty.” He roughly grabbed the back of my neck and I allowed him, for now. “I’ll enjoy breaking you, bitch.” He leaned in. “And I will break you. Once I have you in human form, I will fuck you every night until you beg me to stop. But I won’t.” His grin almost made me vomit. “I will shatter you so throughly you will beg for me by the end.” He leaned in too close and I snapped at him again, catching him off guard.
