Is a mistake from the Moon Goddess Chapter 515
“What do you mean?” He looked lost. “We are.”
I just shook my head. “No, there are others.” I held up my hand. “I don’t know where. It’s not even up to us to find them. That is going to fall on someone else. The goddess has already told me that.”
“There are others?” I nodded. “How?”
“The goddess.” I stepped closer to him. “When the brotherhood hunted them, she did something. I don’t know all the facts, but there is a colony hidden somewhere.”
“We have to look for them.” He tried to turn away, but I pulled him back.
“Even if we were to look, it would be a waste of our time. It is not for us to find them.”
“Then who?” He rumbled in his chest and I felt my stomach clench.
“Carly.” I sighed. “It will be her task to find the lycans and bring them home. Our job is here, our job is now.”
“What do you mean?” His eyes flashed. Erubus was coming closer to the surface.
“The humans are paying attention. If we allow Vince and the Brotherhood to continue down the path they are, we will be found out.” He swallowed, and I watched his Adam’s apple bob. I shook my head to clear it. He was effecting me again.
Nix panted. Our heat is close. I don’t think we will make it through the night.
We have to. I called back. We are supposed to attack the rogues tomorrow night.
“She is just a kid.” Rowan’s words snapped me back.
I nodded. “I know. But the goddess has a plan.” Heat rose to my face. “All I can do is support her when the time comes, and do the task that the goddess has given to me. I will help you save our kind. And give her the time to grow into the strong woman I am going to raise her to be.”
“Like your mom did for you?” He looked down at me with such intensity that I felt myself grow damp.
“Fuck.”
“What?” He tilt
I his head down and I shivered. “What’s wrong?”
“The heat is coming faster than I thought it would.” I forced myself to take a step back. “I think we will have to postpone the attack.”
Rowan followed my step. “I don’t think we can.”
I growled low. “Well, I’m about to be out of commission for a week or so. So we will have to fucking figure it out.”
He rumbled deep in his chest again. “Have I ever told how sexy you are when you get angry?” He stepped closer again and I felt myself take a deep breath.
And there was nothing. I growled again. “You need to leave.”
He smirked as he pressed his chest against me. “Why would I go and do that?” He looked down at me, and I watched his eyes flash to the ice blue I had grown to crave, but I shook my head.
“You know what is about to happen?” I shook myself and turned away.
“I know. And I don’t care this time. Erubus chose Nix, he chose Megan. And mate or not, I have chosen you.” I sucked in a breath, but still there was no scent that I could catch. Another growl ripped from my chest. “Now the question is…will you choose me?” His tone was as even as he could manage, but I heard the catch, the worry, that he tried to mask.
“You don’t want me.” I shook my head. “Not really. You have said it time and time again. I smelled wrong. I wasn’t your mate. I wasn’t enough.” I growled out.
He pressed against my back, and I felt him. His long, hard length was pressed against my back. “Does that feel like I don’t want you? And don’t tell me it is because of your heat. I can’t even smell you.” He leaned down until his lips were against the shell of my ear.
I felt myself purr. My eyelids fluttered as his lips grazed my ear with every word. “Rowan…” My words were soft, and I tried to move away from him, but he followed with a taunting growl.
“Amy.” His teeth grazed me. “Listen to my words.” I shivered again. He rumbled again, making my eyes flutter again and my breathing hitch. “ I choose you. Mate or not. It’s you. It has always been you.”

Do it Amy. Nix panted.
Yeah Amy. Mate or not. We need to be truthful, not just for him, but for ourselves.
I squeezed my eyes tight. “I don’t know…” I whispered.
“Do you love me?” His question was so quiet I almost missed it.
“What?”
“Do you love me?” His hands trailed up my sides. “Because I love you. May the goddess forgive me, but I love you with everything I am. I would give up being king to be by your side and I wouldn’t lose a night of sleep. So do you love me?”
I took one ragged breath before I cut the magic that was hiding my scent.
