Chereads / Ayumi / Chapter 24 - Dancing under the moon

Chapter 24 - Dancing under the moon

Night of the Full moon....

I was anxious for this night since this Night will change everything. I have only known Devon for few days, but I kept my fate with what the Moon Goddess has installed for us. Placed all my cards down to Devon, completely trusted him.

Although I and Devon came from each other's enemy line, he had proven that He cared for me as his behalf. He was also victimized by his father which resulted with his mother's death.

So as planned, we were going to go through the surge of pain and planned to complete our bond by marking each other. We aimed to meet his father and his pack then would try to negotiate on mending our relationship as a pack. I am willing to settle our differences for Devon. How will we do it? I do not know. I am just praying for guidance from the Moon Goddess.

We spent the day chilling on the beach. Then we went to grocery store to buy food so that we could celebrate later if we successfully complete our union. It was nighttime when we finished cooking. While I was cleaning up the utensils we had used for cooking. Devon is forcing me to get out of the kitchen. He had already showered and changed his clothes. While here I was still wearing the apron and covered in sweat.

He was wearing a sky blue short-sleeve polo shirt. He unbuttoned the 1st 3 buttons giving me a view of his broad chiseled chest. He paired it with khaki pants and light brown loafers. He looked divine, I was swooning over him. He caught me gawking at him. He smirked confidently. He stood beside me, hugged me then kissed my forehead.

"No, no, no.... I am too sweaty." I tried moving away from him. Made two stepped further from him.

He smiled at me then pulled me even closer. I was holding a rug and a plate. I was trying to finish drying. He kissed my neck instead. I felt ticklish.

"You know that is not true. Your scent is making me ecstatic. You even smelled like spring flowers." He said with a smile. I furrowed my eyebrows.

"I do?" I asked. He nodded in response.

"You better put this down, go upstairs, love! I can clean this up. I will even set up the table." He instructed me. I smiled at him then responded:

"I can help you; it'll be faster if I help.", I used my squeaky voice. I just stared at me. His eyes looked contented.

"No, you go shower and dress up. Or doll up as you girls call it." He insisted. He pushed me towards the stairs. "Gooooo....!!!" He said while pushing me towards the stairs where our room was. He kissed my nape giving me chills.

"Fine!" I turned around and stared at him. "I'll be quick". I said then I smiled at him which made him grin even more.

"No, no... Take your time, love. If you will feel any pain. I'll come running to you." He gave me a kiss then pushed me towards the stairs. I raised my hands, signifying my surrender.

"Ok! Just set it up there .... pointing to the counter island." I said to him. He raised his brow then looked at me.

"Ok fine, I'll go now." I said then turned around and started walking towards the stairs to clean up as instructed.

"Good girl" he said and smacked my ass which made me squeaked. His laugh erupted inside the room.

I went upstairs then went to the bathroom to shower. I realized Alora my wolf is silent which is unusual for her. I called for her in my mind, but she had not answered. After I finished bathing, I dressed myself in a white butterfly sleeve maxi dress and flat knee-high gladiator sandals which I brought from the mall earlier. I Wore a light make up. Then I stared at my reflection for a moment.

I went downstairs to dine with Devon. But he was nowhere to be found. He was not in the kitchen nor the dining area. I called him but no answer. I only hear faint music outside. It was coming from the beach porch. I went outside and found him standing at the seaside with an outdoor table and chairs with our food. Fairy lights surrounded it. I could see the ripples of waves from the ocean which sparkled because of the moonlight that hits it.

I glanced at him then smiled at him while he stared longingly. He walked towards me, held my hand, and ushered me towards the table. As we were about to reach our table. He pulled me closer to him, placed both of my hands on his nape while his hands traveled down to my waist. We started swaying. We started dancing under the moon.

Then it hit us, our first surge of pain. He pulled me closer to his body, hugged me tightly. Rubbed his hands on my back. He was Sooth the pain.

"I love you, Ayumi.... I love you... will get through this." I can hear pain in his voice as he whispered those words. I just nodded for reply. Subsequently, the pain dissipates. I pulled back to get a view of his face.

"I am lucky to have you as a mate, Devon!" I said to him and stared at him yearningly.

"I feel the same Ayumi." Then of hit us again. Jolt of pain in our chest. I hugged him tightly. We both are breathing heavily. I pulled back then kissed him. He deepened the kiss. I felt the pain slowly vanishing again.

Then we heard a clap.... We were interrupted by a clap. I stood u straight and abruptly roam my eyes around. I can see the shadow of a person hidden in the dark. I squinted my eyes, then I realized who it was. My eyes widened looking at Devon, his face was full of concern. His grip on me tightens.

"Well, well, look what we have here?!," It came from a female voice. I looked around and found a woman standing not too far from us. It was the witch I have encountered earlier this week.

"It seems we're just at the right time, Apollo" My eyes widened searched at the dark side of the beach. I finally spotted him. It was Alpha Apollo who also stood by the dark. He then walked towards us. I could hear wolves growling and I could barely see them. We are surrounded. I could sense it.

"Tessa! Father! What are you doing here?!", How did you find us?!"Devon moved me to his back. Shielding me from them, placing me behind him.

"We're here to stop whatever you're thinking Devon! I am not allowing you to abandon your pack!"
