The Tasks of the Moon Goddess

Chapter 16

Author's note: The picture is of their marks.

Good morning, beautiful. Just wanted to let you know I won't be down for breakfast. I'm out retraining the guards after Mrs. Jacobson got in here. Apparently she posed as a Omega and that was enough to get her in.

Good morning handsome. How did you know I was awake?

As strange as it sounds, like I could feel you.
How did you sleep?

I tossed and turned all night.

Me too. I guess you should have stayed with me.

You may be right. I suppose we could try tonight.

Now there's a plan. I better go though. There's lots to do.

Okay. Talk to you later.

He cut off the mindlink.

Sofia and Gabriella were the only two eating when I arrived in the dining room. I was glad since I wanted to talk to them alone.

"Good morning princess," Gabriella said. "And how was your night?"

"Yeah. Spill," said Sofia.

"Does everyone know?" I asked.

"You were pretty loud last night," Gabriella said.

"This is so embarrassing," I said as an omega brought me waffles and scrambled eggs.

"Tell us," Gabriella said.

"A lady doesn't kiss and tell," I said.

"That's why we're asking you," Sofia laughed.

I gave them an abridged version of what happened last night keeping our conversation afterwards to myself.

"I can't wait to meet the man who will take my virginity," Gabriella said.

I stiffened.

"I'm sorry Joyana," Gabriella said. " I forgot."

"Wish I could forget," I said.

Gabriella's face fell

"It's ok Gabs," I said. " I know you didn't mean it."

"I have a confession," Sofia said. "I slept with Brett."

"Isn't he fifteen?" I asked.

"He's sixteen turning seventeen in three days. The same day as the charity event," she said. " He's going to be my date. I can't wait until he sees my dress."

"I need to find a man," Gabriella said. "Maybe I could go for Zander."

"He's nice," I said. "I would have tried if it wasn't for Viktor."

"Too bad he doesn't have a brother," Gabriella said.

"There's always Beta Liam," Sofia said.

"What about me?" Beta Liam said passing by.

He came into the room and looked at each of us. Sofia blushed to the roots of her hair.

"Are you single Beta Liam?" Gabriella asked.

"I am, but I am also not looking if that's what you mean," he said.

"But what if you found someone?" she asked.

"I would throw them back, he said with a grin. "I have to go help Alpha Viktor with training. I'll see you ladies later."

"Do you guys want to go home?" I asked.
