Alpha’s Tormented Slave Mate
Alpha’s Tormented Slave Mate Chapter 27

I was so happy to see my mate as he opened the door. I flung myself into his arms forgetting about the others behind me in the large underground safe room. I was so concerned for him, but I knew he was ok through the bond. Several women while in there kept screaming as I was told it was due to their bond being severed as they lost their mates. My heart broke for them as I went around hugging each one trying to bring comfort as their Luna, but I know if I had been one to have had my bond severed there would be no comfort for me. Yet I had to try and be there for them.

A few days later we held a massive ceremony to send off our fallen warriors who fought well to the end. It was very emotional as I had tears silently slide down my cheeks as we all stood there to send them off to the moon Goddess. It was done at night even though it wasn't a full moon it was a quarter moon as we set the bodies held on a pyre on fire. We could hear all around us the howling of our wolf pack and it was the saddest sound to hear.

The surviving families held onto their pups or loved ones as they watched the loved ones they lost being sent to the Goddess in the sky.

It felt surreal. I held my mate's hand as he said some beautiful words on behalf of all those lost. Chase is a great leader and Alpha and I feel proud to be called his mate. As Luna I pray to the Goddess, I can be what he needs. I may have been born of beta blood, but I was never taught as I should have been on how to be a Luna. I am having to play it by ear and go on instinct. I don't want to let Chase down. He seems to have a lot of faith in me.

Back at the packhouse, we continued to celebrate the life of the fallen warriors with food and music. I am just glad this hadn't been an incident caused by Jacob in retaliation which with his going MIA, I would not put it past him to try again. Chase did assure me they were having rogue issues long before I came into the picture.

Everyone seems to have accepted me as Luna and even the woman we found naked that time in our bed apologized to me. I was shocked at that one as she seemed to really have a thing for my mate. She had told me that before he became alpha after his father stepped down, he used to be a playboy and slept with many women back then. But once he became alpha, he was determined to wait for his fated mate. She was telling me this to let me know she had tried to tempt him, and he always turned her down. She says she is happy to see him happy finally and that she hopes we can be friends. I just don't know about that. Remembering her lying there across our bed naked still haunts me. Maybe one day I can put it in the past and forgive her. I guess that would be the Luna thing to do.

"You, ok?" Chase says as he places his arm around me.

I nod, "Yeah, I am fine. Just feeling tired."

"Of course, you are. You have done a lot these past couple of days helping the families cope with their loss. How is our little one doing?" She says placing his hand on my stomach. We still have not made the announcement about our pup as yet. "He or she is doing fine."

"I want to plan for an announcement but now is not the time. We need to get past this first. But the pack will want to know about an heir on the way." He said and I agreed.

"At least your parents know and are excited about a grand pup on the way," I say with a smile.

"That is so true. I am glad they like you. My mom is very impressed at how you are doing as Luna at this time. She has told me if you need help with Luna duties just let her know and she will help you."

"I appreciate the compliment. I just may take her up on that." I said with a yawn.

He chuckled as he said, "Ok, mate. Let's get you to bed."

Upstairs we stripped out of our clothes and climbed into bed and made love before cuddling close together and falling asleep. Each time we made love seems to get better and better. Chase keeps me satisfied in every way and hopes I am with him too. I asked him about it, and he assures me I am the best he has ever had and the only one he ever wants or desires. My heart is full of love for him and our pup that at times I feel as if I would explode.

I have never been happier. A few days after my rescue I felt the cheating pain as the medicine had worn off and the Doctor had to administer more to my system. They have assured me it is safe for the pup, and I trust them. So, I am back on the daily dose to keep the pain at bay. But that hint of pain had let us know that Jacob is still out there and sleeping with others. He is just so s*x-craved that he just can't stay away from women.

I am just happy to be away from him and back where I belong.
