I can assure you it'll be painful. I'm the only one standing in the way for him. Submit! And we'll make it less painful." He moved his hand to my jaw, forcing me to look at him. "Look at me, you'll be mine! All others before me will be forgotten. Understood?"I closed my eyes, letting the tears I've held fall from my eyes. I was losing this battle. I took a deep breath, ready to bob my head when a ferocious growl marred the air, shaking the ground. "I dare you to touch what's MINE!!!"

I asked hesitantly. "Then you will remain in the Abyss, forever reliving your earthly memories." My mind recalled the images that had just tormented me, showing me my death over and over again. I knew now she must have shown me that strategically so I had a taste of what my refusal would look like."Then I don't want to be Luna again... and I don't want to be Aleric's mate," I said, surprising even myself that I was bargaining with a Goddess.
