The Beast's Virgin Claim

If I ever caught Phobos coming out of a tent behind a breeder I would react the same way. It is not easy being mated to these wild males with distinct traditions and customs but I can lend her my shoulder if she should need it.

Our attention diverts to Moira who steps towards both of us in a submissive pose with her head bent low and her timid orbs glued to her feet. Phobos stiffens beside me to her proximity as she bows deeply at me with respect, "Luna Theia."

"Moira." I greet her with a welcoming smile. I hold no more hatred towards this female she has been through enough and she is not at my mercy anymore either.

"I-I would like to speak with Královna alone for a minute Alpha Phobos." She stutters keeping her fearful eyes on me not even sparing my male another glance of regard. Phobos turns those piercing blues towards me in question and I offer him a nod of approval that he chooses to acknowledge. He moves away towards the side putting distance between us to give us privacy as per her request.

"What is it, Moira?"

"Drakho informed me. He told me about everything."

"About what?"

"About the reason why you left. About the despicable sins I was committing." My eyes broaden to her truth and I swallow with an uneasiness. I thought she and I would not need to face each other regarding this issue but it seems no matter what this must transpire between us.

"We do not need to talk about this, Moira."

She unexpectedly kneels at my feet soiling her attire along the way and she positions her forehead upon the earth. "I do not ask for your forgiveness but I do repent. I was so very idiotic I did not know what I was doing. I know it sounds like an excuse but I...I will live the rest of my life in shame for the sin I have committed against Král, your and our goddess."

"What are you doing, Moira?" My voice is reprimanding for I do not appreciate her way of apologizing. It is degrading not for me but for her and she is doing this in front of Ragon. The last thing that wolf needs to hear is that his female kissed Phobos a few times whenever she got drunk for she believed he was her deceased male.

"The moon punishes wisely, she knows who deserves to be punished. I had somehow remained away from Ragon's sight for years then abruptly as though the moon herself guided him to me we found each other. I had wondered why and Drakho told me everything of that night." Tears of regret and guilt stream down her cheeks her enchanting red hair is dirtied by earth's mud as she gazes into my eyes.

"You did not deserve that, you are the kindest most honourable female I have ever known. So Luna Theia I just wish to say I apologize from the bottom of my soul."

"I understand now get up, Moira. Your male looks restless by your antics and know this. Ragon is not your punishment, he is your redemption."

"Ragon will always be my punishment from the moon. Each time he looks at me with those betrayed eyes I am being punished for I need to behold the immense misery I have brought upon him."

"Moira." My voice is faint and comforting a need to reassure her swells within me.

"I never meant for any of that to happen, I cannot believe I went against Král and you. You were always kind to me. If we met much earlier in life perhaps you would have rescued me after my parents died instead of Ondra. You might have led me on the right path to Ragon and most of all you would have been my true friend." She smiles a saddened smile whilst she weeps and my heart clenches.

"Perhaps. But Moira, the moon always has a plan for everything. Trust in her and she will guide you. You have finally found your mate this is a new beginning for you." I voice my thoughts as I lift her from the ground assisting the trembling sobbing female to her feet.

"You will always be my Luna and my queen this shall never change. Even though it shall be Luna Lumina who will now rule over me, my true loyalty will always remain on these lands with you Královna." With those parting words, she marches towards the awaiting vehicle in front of the gates to commence her journey to her new home.

When Moira enters the truck she keeps the door open for Argus as he says his final farewell to his friends. The little one will find it challenging to make new friends in Deimos's pack due to his wildness and ferocity but I am confident that Lumina will find a way to make it easier for him.

Phobos has his striking ocean blues set on the pup who refuses to return the attention, he is highly upset with my male. "Argus." He calls out and Argus stiffens his friends immediately scurrying away knowing that their Alpha has requested his presence.

He does not turn around disregarding Phobos, he merely waves goodbye to the other pups and saunters towards the open door of the truck. "Argus!" This time Phobos holds a strictness in the tone of his beckoning that has the pup stop in his tracks and twist around to regard to him with a smouldering fire in his eyes. "Come."

I receive a napping Tadeas from my male's arms as he squats down to be on eye level with Argus. "I have spoken to my brother, you will be directly trained by Ragon and Deimos will take you in to be one of his top warriors if you succeed.

If you do exceptionally well you might even end up being the next beta." Argus has his enraged eyes adhered to the tree line behind Phobos not meeting his searching orbs.
