Cash is looking at Kennedy as she circles around him, posturing to her mate that she’s not happy.

“Stop touching me!” she screams to Cash, who stands straight. Her words hurt.
“You’re not him. You have no right to touch me. How could I even find you worthy when I had him between my legs? You’re nothing compared to him. You are nothing but a wrak little wolf. You can’t even begin to satisfy me the way he does.” Both Cash and I flinch at the acid dripping from her voice. “When he gets better, he will challenge you for me. He will tear your throat out, and I will eat your heart while you lay dying at my feet.” Her laugh bubbles out of her mouth as if she is also on the verge of insanity.
“He doesn’t want you, Kennedy.” Cash’s voice is calm, cold, as he regards her. He circles her so she has to spin slowly around to face him. Is he still going to try to put his effort into her? It seems she doesn’t appreciate his fight. “He gave you to me. He threw you away, like garbage. I would never have given you to anyone. He doesn’t care anymore.” His canines have descended.

“He loves ine! He’s going to fight for me. You’re a liar! He would never do that to me!” which is bright red and starting to bruise,
to me!” Tears ond
i once again are coming down her face,
“I’m going to teach you, Kennedy, who you belong to. It’s not him. You’re my mate, and we belong together. I know it’s hard for you, but I won’t give up making you understand this. I’m going to make you understand who I am to you.” He grabs her, biting down on her neck, hard. She moans from the contact. Her body is the biggest betrayer her mind will ever know.
Hands wrap in his hair, their bodies melting into each other’s. They hold that position for just a minute, unable to untangle themselves. Reason must have found her brain as she begins to kick and scream, but he restrains her from doing damage.
He wants to be her oxygen, but she’s refusing to breathe. Unfortunately for her, she’s going to be forced to breathe him in..
“You both need to leave now! Dallas is in front of me, hands cupping my cheeks, shaking his head sadly.
“At least you tried, Rya. You might not have won, but you tried. No one likes being laughed at. Maybe next time, she might think before she tries to laugh at you. She knows now that you will fight back.” His fingers caress my bruised jaw, tucking a stray hair behind my ear.
He brings me into his chest, where the smell of him envelops me. It’s alluring. His touch soothes my pain. I feel the thrum of his body with my presence so close against him. My heart rate starts to slow, trying to match his. He just holds me tight and safe against his chest. No one can touch me now in this minute. He wouldn’t let that happen. Fingertips are now at the curve of my neck; my jaw feels better pressed against him.
“Both of you go. Cash, you should take her to go see him. Have him tell her himself if she doesn’t believe you. Remember, Cash, you can’t hurt him. He’s injured, and it wouldn’t be a fair fight. It would be without honor for you to hurt him when he can’t defend himself.” His words are thrown like knives against him, sharp and to the point.
Kennedy actually perks up. Her bruised face still is beautiful, and I want to hate her for that.
I’m not sure that I’m prepared for the next family dinner. One day, maybe we could all sit down like one big happy family that you see on TV. For now, our dinners will always end in violence and bruising instead of hugs and kisses goodbye.
Dallas takes my hand, leading me back inside. He sits me down on the chair. Looking inside my freezer, he gets some ice in a plastic bag and wraps it in a towel Handing it to me, he starts to clear off the bowls of half–eaten soup. Placing them in the sink, he washes them.
“Are you okay, Hya?” Luna Grace asks, taking in my injuries.
“I’mtine” I’m slightly ashamed I’m not a good fighter. I deliver babies, not fight for the pack
“You put up a good fight for not being trained.” She pats my leg, rubbing it slightly, “You females really need to try to get along if you can.” She says it like it’s the easiest thing in the world,
“I’ve seen you before, haven’t I, Luna Grace?” My jaw barely moves with my words because of the pain. I just need to change the topic of conversation
“Yes, you have, Rya. I was never really introduced to you, I’ve seen you before in the pack that you were trained in. Her big male puts an arm around her shoulder.
“I heard a rumor that there was a moon–eyed female training away from her pack, so thad to come and see for myself.” She leans into his arm, and he kisses her temple.
“You see, Rya, you’re very special. That mark on your neck won’t fade. You are the only one born in a century to carry the eyes of the moon. You have a choice. You get to decide who you want as a mate, Imagine that, the moon giving someone a choice.” Her smile reaches those eyes that look so loving Even my own mother doesn’t have eyes like hers.
Are you upset with the choice the moon made for us? The Alpha smiles into her neck before kissing it.
“No, iny male, I’m very pleased with her choice” He runs his fingers through her hair, and I need to look away from them. I’membarrassed by their outward display of love. For them, it doesn’t seem that love hurts; there is no pain in their faces when they look at each other.
“As I was saying thave never been introduced until I arrived here. My sister is the Luna of that pack you were at. She called me, knowing that I would be interested in someone like you for my son. She told me your mate rejected you, that you were available for the taking.” Her words sound truthful. She looks me in the eye, never looking away.
