A Dream & A Cruel Reality
SAMANTHA
Jaecar was on top of me. Kissing me as he’d done hours ago. His gold body glistening in the firelight. His long adept fingers expertly winding through the laces of my dress. Freeing my body to his penetrating view.
He took in the sight emotionlessly. His expression as unreadable as always. He said nothing. Merely taking in the sight of me in his usual quiet way.
What was he thinking?
Lifting my skirts in his rush to get to my center.
His fingers bit into my thighs as he forced them apart. Dropping his hips between so I could feel the rigid hardness that I’d sensed earlier when he’d kissed me. Though I couldn’t see it, I’d had a mental vision of what it might look like.
Something to be feared.
Something that meant he could claim me. Penetrate me and eventually he could choose to mark me. Whether I wanted him or not.
I saw him swaying over me as

SAMANTHAIt was the morning of the Mating Moon when, Jaecar, the fiercest of the Border Guards, waited for me outside my hut as he often did.I met him there. After all these years, I was unafraid of him despite his intimidating air and athletic build.He had shining black hair and defined muscles tightly winding his body under his leather tunic and breeches. Usual dagger resting in its hip scabbard.He’d never given me cause for concern. Despite that I knew the males looked at him nervously.Why wouldn't they?He’d outmaneuvered them often enough in the trial rings. The only real competition for our young Alpha, Draven.“Let me see.” He held out his hand impatiently.My sketchbook.It wasn’t a question.I handed it over, as I always did. Glad to share my work with him.He always wanted to see what new scribbles I’d done.“I
Mating Moon - Asara Pack His Decision
“What do you mean?” My brows drew together in worry.I wouldn’t be safe? Why wouldn’t I? It worked all the years before. “You’re not going back to your hut during the Mating Moon tonight.” He clarified.My brow furrowed as I gave him a questioning look. I reached over the leaves to grab my sketchbook. Thinking I would grab it and flee.Jaecar was scaring me.But he slapped a hand over atop it. Holding it firmly enough I couldn’t pull it away. Eventually my gaze drifted from the book slowly back to his face. My stomach dropping.“Yes. I am.” I said more firmly. “As soon as we leave here, I’m going.”“No.” His solid green gaze burned into me, and I felt the need to evade it. “I’ve chosen you for my mate.”“You can’t!”“I have. Since you haven’t chosen one for y

He trailed a finger down my cheek with his free hand. “But out of courtesy to you, I’m telling you what’ll happen in a few short hours so you can prepare yourself.”“I’ll never be prepared, Jaecar.” I said defiantly. “And I’ll never forgive you if you do this.”I felt the spark in my blue eyes that indicated I intended every hateful word.“That much,” He sighed. “I already figured.”I was shocked when Jaecar sat up and unwound a long length of rope from around his waist.He’s really going to do this?I fought in truth then rolling onto my belly to try and crawl away. “You’re not tying me up!”He caught one of my legs and spun it across him, so I was flipped back onto my back. Grasping my sketchbook as my hand rolled over it. For some reason, it still felt important to me.He lurched forward to hop astride my hips
Mating Moon - Asara Pack Waiting Me Out
Hunger for the flesh he means.I’d succeeded in slowing my heart, but it was thrumming so hard I feared he’d hear it.But the tree was dense and good at masking such sounds.One of the thickest ones in these woods. I hoped it’d serve me well now.“Samantha!” He barked. “Have it your way!”From where I was ducked within the tree, I could hear his boots crunching over the twigs as he turned looking for a track or a sign of movement. His voice carrying from various directions as he turned his back then rounded again.“But don’t forget it’s me.” He persisted. “I know everything about you.”I felt a bloom of a fear as I wondered how true that was.He does know a lot about me. I’d never felt the need to keep things from him. Thinking him my only friend save Lyra Lani.“There’s nowhere you can go, nowhere you
Mating Moon - Asara Pack His Ensnarement
I headed straight for a stand of shrubs where I had a small snap box tucked under, filled with dried meat for snacking, as I checked my traps. I snatched a handful and heard the skid of something heavy. Feeling something snatch my ankle.Oh, no! At first, I thought it was Jaecar gripping me. I turned looking down but saw no one on the ground.I looked down as I was dragged a distance. Starting to be leveraged up was only stopped by Jaecar’s fist catching the rope and holding it up near his shoulder to keep it from falling further. It clearly weighed more than me and him holding it up was all that was keeping me from going further up into the trees.Principles of leverage. Even I understood that.Keeping the large trunk behind him from toppling down and leaving me swinging.Easy prey for the pack later. I envisioned myself dangling there. One leg hooked and completely vulnerable as they sniffed me out.Attempting to change into the wolf, would do nothing to get me free.They’d find me
Mating Moon - Asara Pack Everywhere I'd Hide!
I stuck his blade in the waist of my dress and fled back toward camp.“Really, Sam?” He called after me. “Do you honestly think you’re going to get away from me?”Really, Jaecar. You bastard.He tossed his arms. “I’m a Border Guard! I hunt down intruders all night. Most nights.”“I’m not an intruder!” I tossed over my shoulder. Not slowing my pace.My animosity growing with each step. The mere fact that I was fleeing someone I had considered myself so close to was not lost on me.He wasn’t moving.Probably thinking he’ll catch up to me easily enough.He’s underestimated me. I thought. Confidence beginning to surge.You’re just like them afterall, Jaecar!***Perhaps someone would’ve thought it was silly that I would flee the one man I trusted from our camp when he offered to be my mate.But that person clearly didn’t understand the nature of the Asara males.Being collected by the former alpha meant they were the most aggressive, most ferocious of any wolves out there.Each of them ne
Mating Moon - Asara Pack Ravenous Males
He pinned one of my forearms under each of his knees. His weight making his bone press into the soft tissues of my arm.Ouch!“You’re not tying me up, Jaecar!” I screamed louder this time. A panicked note touching my voice as I tried to buck my hips enough to free myself.“The Hell I’m not.” He muttered. Balancing as he straddled my waist. Untwisting the rope, he pulled his dagger from the tie at my waist. Cutting the rope into four chunks, he laid them out next to us, ominously. Before staring at me as he purposefully shoving it back in his hip scabbard.Angry I’d stolen it to begin with. I didn’t feel bad since I’d stolen it in order to save myself. No remorse to be had there!“Jaecar!” I pleaded. “This is me we’re talking about. You and I have been friends forever!”Have you lost your mind?“Yes. And now we’re going to be more. Much more.” He asserted.***“You don’t want to mate with me!” I cried. “This is insanity.”Why is he pushing this now?What’s happened?He paused with cutt
Mating Moon - Asara Pack Wait Quietly
Jaecar's light green eyes appeared in my line of vision.I cast him a last pleading look. Willing him to suddenly have a change of heart and let me go."Wait for me." He said. Urging, "Quietly."My lips twitched in contempt as I glared at him. The Hell I will!"Remember, if you scream, if you struggle, the pack will hear you."And they'll all want to mate. I knew it without him having to say it. I deflated a little at the thought. And my struggling could make me sweat which would only carry my hormone better in the wind.Filling this whole tree with my smell. I grimaced.“I have to go to the Pack Meeting and then I’ll be back for you.”I’ll figure out a way to escape him by then. I reassured myself. Studying me a minute and seeing that I understood he gave a satisfied nod and turned stiffly.Thankful for the reprieve, I blew a long breath and my body relaxed. He's gone.For a while. A niggling little voice corrected.***What a fantastic day this is turning out to be!I knew if I was
