Chapter 65: 66. Golden Crescents

“Riannon!” Gideon brought her closer to him as she was kicking and screaming.

He was confused at first but soon realised that something was happening to her

and when she started crying, calling his name, he simply pressed her against

him, holding her hands in place so that she wouldn’t hurt herself.

“Mars,” he called his wolf, “Try reaching Onyx.”

His wolf growled in agreement and he lost him for a few moments. But then

Riannon

opened her eyes full of tears and looked at him in disbelief. It was as if she tried

to recognise him and for a second there he was worried that she couldn’t.

“Gideon,” her lips trembled as she tried to catch her ragged breathing and focus

her gaze on him. She was shivering and when he let go of her hands, she

reached his face with shaky fingers. She traced carefully almost every strong line

of his.

“It‘s me, Riannon,” his voice was practically a whisper because he was afraid to

scare her again, “It’s me. It was just a dream.”

“Gideon!” she threw herself in his arms, lacing her own around him so that there

wasn’t any air left between the two of them. She felt his warmth and breathed in

his scent, tears burning her eyes. It was him. He was alive. What she saw... it

didn’t happen yet.

Daily new chapters in www.noveljar.com “Ria,” he murmured somewhere in her

hair, “It‘s all right. You are here and so am I. We are fine. It was just a dream.”

“It wasn’t a dream,” she finally managed to distance herself from him, “Gideon,

Onyx showed me the past. And it was so horrible.”

“We already knew that it was horrible,” his voice was calm as he took away a

strand of hair that stuck to her face. His tranquillity helped her find some inner

peace too.

“It’s different to know and to see,” she looked him in the eyes with a newfound

determination, “We can’t let any of this happen. It was so bad... Gideon, me and

Maya weren’t the only ones to die... I saw you holding Reid...dead... And then

you...”

She stopped talking as tears were suffocating her.

“I don’t want anything like this to ever happen to you,” she sniffed. He pulled her

into a hug and let her cry as much as she needed, “This... future... It cannot...

happen.” Her words were punctuated with sobs as she indulged herself in his

warmness.

“Ria,” he sounded tense and his whole body was rigid, “Did you... by any chance

see Savvy there?”

“No,” she took a deep breath and sat up, “I didn’t see her. But... what I saw

couldn’t fighting wolves.”

“Tell me everything you saw,” he placed his palms on her shoulders, “Every

single detail.” And she did, starting with her own murder and finishing with the

last moment she saw

him alive.

“I am so sorry you had to go through this,” he kissed her temple as he held her in

his arms. She was leaning over his chest, and he was brushing circles with his

fingers on her bare

skin.

“I am fine now,” she said. And it was the truth. The past faded and being close to

her mate was definitely helping, their bond giving her the confidence and strength

that she needed. Besides, her brain started ticking. Yes, it was terrible to see her

own death again, it was disgusting to see her enemies win and it was heart-

breaking to see her mate die. But between all those events she found crucial

pieces of information.

“The Northern king,” she looked at Gideon, “They were so afraid that you would

form an alliance with him. This is exactly what we need to do.”

“Yeah, about that,” the lycan rubbed his forehead, “They were worried for

nothing. There is no way that ask hole and I would ever form an alliance.”

“I am sensing that there is a story there,” Riannon quirked her brow up. Whatever

that story was, she was sure she could persuade them both. This was what she

was born for.

“There is,” he admitted, “But it’s not for today. You’ve been through too much and

you

need rest. Let’s go to sleep.” Daily new chapters in www.noveljar.com

“No,” she shook her head and brushed her palm over his cheek with short

stubble, “I don’t want to sleep. I want to be with you. I want you...”

“Riannon, you have no idea what those words do to me,” he let out a soft snarl,

“what you do to me...”

“I don’t want to waste any time,” she whispered, straddling him and leaning

forward to touch his hot lips with hers. “If today proved anything, it is that every

moment is precious. We never met each other in our past lives. They were

wasted because of that. I don’t want to ever be separated from you. I don’t want

to live even a minute of my life without you want to have your mark on my neck

and I want it now.”

“Ria,” now an internal growl escaped his chest that was going up and down, “You

know that I want this more than anything. But... You deserve a beautiful

ceremony. I want to give only the best to my queen...” ceremony that I want.

Trust me, they are overrated. I had a beautiful marking ceremony once and look

how that ended. It means nothing to me. But you, Gideon, you mean everything.

Give me your mark. Please.”

“You don’t have to ask me twice,” he growled and in one sharp move placed her

back on the bed, towering over her, “When my Queen wants something, she

doesn’t have to repeat herself.”

She was wearing only a thin white silk slip and he caressed her body through it,

teasing her and making her arch her back. Their breathing was getting faster

together and when he pulled the fabric down to expose her breasts, a sound of

approval emerged from the depth of his body at the sight of her firm ni*ples. He

lowered himself and inhaled one while tugging the other in between his fingers as

he took a handful of her.

Amoan escaped her, and then another. Riannon’s delicate fingers intwined in his

dark hair as she encouraged him to go on. He tore off her and went all the way

up to her face only to crash his lips into hers, to taste her. Their tongues tangled

as they shared one breath, the kiss overwhelming all their senses. But at the

same time, his hand was rolling the silk up to expose more of her to him. She

laced her thighs around his torso and that made him pant in an

instant. His hardness was already evident against her stomach. Daily new

chapters in www.noveljar.com

“Mark me,” she said when he finally was able to break from her and now was

taking in her beautiful body.

“Not yet,” a menacing chuckle escaped him as his fingers found the fabric of her

lacy underwear. He pulled it all the way down, relieving her of it. And then he

yanked her to the edge of the bed, kneeling in front and spreading her wider for

him. She felt his hot breathing on her sensitive core and moaned when his

tongue finally reached it. He made just one sensual stroke and watched her

reaction as her body shuddered in his hands. Gideon liked what he saw, he liked

that control over her. Especially since he knew that he would lose his own in a

matter of mere minutes thanks to that woman. He loved her too much, he wanted

her too much.

“Gideon, please!” she almost whined, desperate for him to do more. And he was

happy to oblige, tasting her essence on his lips as his tongue probed her. Mars

wanted to take over him but it wasn’t the time yet. Grasping the bare flesh of her

bottom, the lycan king placed her things onto his shoulders, going deeper and

faster.

“Look at me,” he growled and she obeyed him, their eyes locking as her breasts

bounced sensitive bundle of nerves, while at the same time inserting two fingers

into her.

A loud moan left her this time as he pumped the fingers in and out, curling them

inside in

search of her most responsive spot. He already knew where it was, so he found it

with ease, taking up the speed. Riannon shuddered from all the pleasure that

was overtaking her way too fast, but he held her in place with his free hand as he

went on, and on, and on...

The rel*ase exploded through her, making her forget even her own name. But not

his. His was on her lips all the time as he kept caressing her and bringing her to

her next climax.

“Gideon!” the sounds were becoming desperate in her need for him. But right

when she

was coming to her peak once again, he stopped doing everything and got his

fingers out of her.

She tried to catch her breath as she watched him questioningly. There was no

way she was

ready to stop now.

But when he unbuckled his pants and discarded them, her lips curved into a little

smile. She found strength to stand right next to him and traced her palm all the

way from his chest to

his hardness. At the same time, the lycan hooked the straps of her slip and made

it fall to their

feet.

She lowered herself slowly, still looking into his eyes, and then stroked him gently

a few times before bringing his hard flesh to her lips. Slowly, she wrapped them

around him and took him in. As much as she could because there was no way to

take all of his length.

A growl left him as he entwined his fingers into her hair as if she was his anchor.

She

was driving him crazy in the best sense of the word and he threw his head back,

closing his

eyes.

“What do you do with me?” he muttered, “I... Ria...”

He stopped her before she knew it and scooped her into his arms, placing her

back onto the bed and getting on top of her.

“I love you so much, do you know it?” he grunted as he rubbed his tip at her

entrance.

“I know,” she smiled, because she loved seeing him like that – bedazzled with

passion, consumed by his emotions... He was like that only with her and she

loved that power.

“Good,” he nodded and pinned both her hands above her head, lifting one of her

thighs

and entering her roughly.

She let out a loud moan as she curved her back for him, “I love you too. So

much...”

“Very good,” he snarled and started pounding into her as if there was no

tomorrow.

She screamed every time he brought her to a release, digging her nails into his

flesh. It was the first time they were together since she got her wolf back and

everything was heightened. For her and for him as well. With each thrust, with

each mad kiss their bond was getting stronger, and he didn‘t think he could stop

anymore. Daily new chapters in www.noveljar.com

Chanting her name, he took her again and again.

Then, when he felt that they both were ready, he lifted her up and placed her on

his lap, letting her straddle him. Her silky skin was covered with beads of sweat

and her wonderful

scent was filling his nostrils, making Mars go feral inside of him.

“From this day forward,” he took her hair from her neck to make sure that nothing

would get into their way, “You will only belong to me, Riannon.”

He looked into her eyes, searching for approval. “have already been yours for a

while,” she smiled through tears that were forming in her

eyes.

“And I wouldn’t have it any other way,” he thrust into her again, her body

bouncing on his as he held her while plunging into her again and again. She was

now leaning over his firm chest and felt his canines grazing over her skin, right

where her ex-husband’s mark once was. Now the place was clean and ready for

him. It was always his. Gideon‘s.

“Forever,” a growl that shook the walls around them emerged from his chest as

his sharp

teeth sunk into her. She expected pain just like the first time, but instead,

Riannon experienced

the most intense outburst of pleasure in her entire life. She didn’t even know if

she was

moaning or screaming, she was completely lost in the sensation.

She knew only one thing. He needed to feel that too. So, she gathered the

remnants of her strength and found his neck, kissing it first to make sure that this

was the right spot. And when she felt him pulsating under her and groaning

louder, she pierced him with her canines.

“Ria” his voice did not sound human anymore as he let his wolf take the control

together with him. Pressing her tighter, the rel*ase reached them at the same

time as his seed spilt inside of her. Riannon screamed and then she hung limply

in his arms, exhausted and panting. His back fell to the bed, but he refused to let

her go, still holding her in his arms.

They both could feel their marks healing already, the tingling sensation was

pleasant and soft.

“Finally,” he looked into her eyes, caressing her cheek. She couldn‘t hold her lips

from tugging into a smile. She was so happy with him already, but this was so

much bigger... It was

“Finally,” she repeated, fighting with her own eyes that wanted to close now.

“Sleep my love,” he whispered and kissed her nose gently, “You need this. And I

will guard you. Nothing bad will ever happen to you again. That’s a promise.”

And the one she knew he would do his best to keep.

Slowly, the world around her went dark as she allowed herself to drift off to sleep.

It was probably the middle of the next day when she woke up and found him still

there, next to her. He was sleeping but his hands were still holding her and this

made her grin from

ear to ear.

She did not want to wake him up, so she placed a little kiss where she could

reach and

wriggled out of his grasp in the hope to take a shower and brush her teeth before

he woke up. A lot had to be done but all that she was thinking about was making

him take her again. The night they shared was too good to just get back to

business.

But Ria also knew that they both had responsibilities and already wasted more

time than they were allowed to. She had to think about what could be done when

she was passing a

mirror.

In her reflection she saw something incredibly beautiful, something that she did

not expect to see at all. Her mark was different from what she saw others have. It

usually formed into an intricate tattoo-like pattern. But she was staring now at two

golden crescents looking

at each other. Golden! No one had golden marks before!

“I told you the Moon Goddess blessed you,” Onyx chuckled in her mind.

Riannon turned to look at how Gideon’s mark would look like, something she

forgot to check and found him sitting on the edge of the bed and watching her.

He had two golden

crescents too.

“Beautiful, isn‘t it?” she bit her lip, trying to contain the excitement.

“Very,” he smirked, but his eyes were all over her naked body.

He was about to say something but her phone rang, disrupting their moment. Ria

went to check, knowing that an Alpha couldn’t ignore any phone calls and was

surprised to see her

ex-husband’s name on the caller ID...
