The Luna’s Choice by Kat Silver

Chapter 150: Theo
Ayla led me through the house and out the back door.
“What are we doing?” I asked.
Her eyes held mine as she pulled her shirt over her head. “We’re going for a run.”
Kieran surged to the forefront, yipping in excitement.
“It’s about time our wolves got to meet,” she added, shimmying out of her jeans.
Kiaran growled in my head, pulling me out of the trance I was in while watching her undress. I started stripping down but took my time. Kieran was about to burst from me, but I kept control of the shift. I wanted my time with Dasha, too.
Discarding the last item of clothing over her shoulder, Ayla disappeared into the shadow of the trees. I followed behind but soon stopped as gorgeous golden eyes reflected back at me. Dasha stepped out, bouncing impatiently before me, telling me to hurry.
I shook my head. “Come here,” I stated.
She yipped and let out a soft growl.
“Come here,” I repeated, letting Kieran come through my voice.
She stepped before me, meeting me eye to eye. Other than my father, she was the only wolf in this pack who could do that. The only one I would permit. As my Luna, she was equal to no other but me.

Chapter 150. The
I let myself take her in, running my hands through fur that was as enchanting as I remembered. Pride filled me as I confirmed I hadn’t imagined the light that radiated from every golden strand. A color I had never heard of on a wolf.
After allowing me a few moments of adoration, she chuffed at me impatiently. I chuckled. I wouldn’t make them wait any longer. I stepped out of my jeans and boxers just in time for Kieran to command the shift.
We rushed to Dasha, nuzzling her neck, licking her face, exploring each other. Dasha barked suddenly, bouncing away from us before taking off into the trees. Kieran growled eagerly, jumping into a sprint after her. It had been too long since Kieran had gotten to run like this. And to do it with his mate for the first time… The happiness he felt was exhilarating. We ran for miles. Stalking, playing, hunting. Everything wolves do.
Dasha slipped out of view behind a copse of trees near a clearing. We followed but were stopped short when we saw her again. She stood by a pond, her reflection lighting up the water’s surface. She even seemed brighter than the moon.
‘She is when the moon touches the earth.’
That line from Jack’s letter had stuck with me, but I didn’t know what
it meant until now.
When we celebrate the moon goddess, the ceremonies always take place either before dawn or after dusk. When the moon is closest to the h**izon and shines with golden light.
She is my goddess on earth.
We approached as Ayla shifted back. Kieran rubbed against her as she stroked him, letting her get her fill. I forgot she had been robbed of this

experience the first time she saw Kieran. They both had. We had to rush back to the packhouse from the attack. That was the only time they had had together. So, I let him love and caress her to his heart’s
content.
She leaned against him, sliding her fingers through his fur, looking out
over the water.
“This place has always been my sanctuary,” she told us. “Before Dad died, I’d come here to be alone to think about things. What I wanted to do, what my life would be like, what my mate would be like.” She tousled my fur with the last one. “When he died, life became less about what it could be and more of what it had to be.”
I shifted back, silently moving behind her and wrapping her in my arms, listening to everything she had to say.
“So, I came here,” she continued, “and I let the water wash away all the things that could have been for me. I washed away who I was to be who I needed to be.” She leaned back against my chest. “I did the same thing the night we broke our bond. I cleansed myself of the life I wouldn’t have.”
She stepped away, taking my hands as she turned to face me, backing
into the water.
“Things happened, Theo,” she said. “We didn’t get the love-at-first- sight moment we should have. We hurt each other. We denied each other. We were robbed of our trust in our fate.” She stilled as the water reached her chest. “We didn’t get all of the should-have-beens the world promised us. But now we have something different. Something stronger. I’m ready to wash all the rest away.”
