Their forced luna

Amanda

My body trembled and quivered. I took my time gathered the remnants of my clothes. My smile wouldn't go away no matter how often I tried to will it. I'd missed this weak-kneed sensation of being thoroughly fucked. I'd missed my mates. I couldn't wait to get back to Bo. I didn't know how re-marking would work, but I needed to claim him as mine again.

"Come on, let's go catch up with them," Javier offered me his hand and helped me to my feet. He must have noticed my knees shaking. "You can ride me if you want." He gave me a suggestive wink and a wiggle of his brows. Despite we'd just made love, he was more than willing to go another round.

"Are-are you done?" Mitsi squeaked and peeped out from behind her hands. She swallowed and avoided looking directly at us. I'd completely forgotten she was there. "I-I didn't want to interrupt you two during," she waved her hands for emphasis and her cheeks turned to two dual roses. Had she been there when I'd made love to Zale as well?

Why was she so embarrassed? She'd obviously had sex because she was heavily pregnant. It was cute how she could still get so flustered. I found myself fond of this cat-girl maid. I was going to give her and her child a far better life than she'd been destined to have under that bastard Aren.

"We're done," Javier agreed then smirked. "For now. But I don't stay satisfied for long. Once I get this little woman home I want to hunt her all over again."

"Hunt her?" Mitsi stared at us. "I thought these were your mates?" she asked Amanda.

Amanda laughed and playfully swatted at me. "They are, they're just not normal guys. But don't worry. They're not going to hurt you. Not like you've been hurt before."

Mitsi didn't look too convinced. "Why do you want to save the others? Mistress Cee refused to go with you."

Javier shifted and I pulled Mitsi onto his broad back with me after grabbing the clothes he'd peeled off. I didn't want my mate running around naked with other women around. "All those women were taken away from their homes. Sure, some of them might have accepted that life. I just want to give them a chance to know there's other options out there for them. They can go home now. Even Cee might listen to me this time."

"I don't know about that..." Mitsi shrugged and offered me a weak smile. "Still, thank you, Amanda. I'm grateful for you saving us."

I couldn't help myself and hugged the smaller woman. "Javier, take us to the mansion." I squeezed him with my knees and guided him toward the direction I needed him to go.

Maybe I shouldn't have sent the hell hounds ahead. They had been creatures used to keep the women controlled. Seeing them there could do the opposite of what I wanted. "Faster," I ordered.

Javier raced across the fields until everything around us blurred. The remains of my clothes hung in tatters on my frame. Aren's dresses had been pretty enough, but they really had been as strong as wet tissue paper. I'd probably have to borrow another just to get home.

A chorus of howls reached my ears and my head jerked up. The hell hounds returned around me. Each had a handful of women riding on their backs. I inspected them one after the other but I could not spy Cee anywhere. Had Zale taken it up on himself to help the demon Luna?

"Where's Mistress Cee?" Mitsi questioned the others.

The women glanced at each other and then back at us. "She left," one of the older ones offered from Raul's back. "They all left."

"They?" I turned to study the hounds.

Tyler tilted his head. "Your demon Queen ran off and left everyone else behind. The demon that came for her didn't try to save anyone else but her." he paused and looked away from me.

What was going on? A sense of unease danced up and down my spine. "What are you not telling me?" I demanded. I focused on Raul. I had a feeling he wouldn't lie to me.

The hell hound looked up and into my eyes. "They mentioned how they had something more important to do than to help a mansion full of weak women who got kidnapped."

Okay, none of that sounded too strange. And yet, the strange sensation only intensified. I shivered from the weight of the mystery. "Did they mention what was more important?"

"Yes," grumbled a new voice in our midst. I turned to spy Zale loping toward us. He'd overheard our conversation from that far away? I growled myself at the women that clung to his back. I wanted to grab them and fling them off.

Since when had I become so jealous? I hadn't even had this reaction toward Clara, though maybe in her case I'd understood who she was. These were all women that had been brainwashed by Aren and liable to fall for their handsome rescuer.

Zale chuckled. "You're cute when you're jealous, Amanda."

Javier nodded in agreement. "You should be jealous of me more often. Look at all those women we're taking home with us. Pout and glare for me too."

I resisted the urge to swat at him again. He had too much fun making fun of me. "Forget that. What did they say was more important?"

Zale didn't answer me. Instead he looked past me and to Javier. "We need to hurry home, all of us."

That unease only got stronger. "What happened?" I demanded. I was tired of being kept in the dark.

Zale met my gaze full on. "The demons are using this opportunity to declare war on us. Bo is going to have to hold them off on his own with the help of the pack warriors until we get back."
