The Tasks of the Moon Goddess

Chapter 45

Author's note: The picture is of Eloise.

The flight home was a quiet one. Bobby was lost in his thoughts while Camille was trying to comfort him. Ian and Isabel were sitting in separate seats while Eloise was trying to bridge the gap between them. Amara and Amari were taking up the bedroom leaving me and Viktor to mess around in the bathroom.

I could no longer control myself around him. I was always ready for him and he always rose to the occasion. If he just looked at me, I was ready. Eloise said it would wear off after a few days but I'll believe it when I see it. This was worse than my heat.

When we arrived home, I went to the rec room to see my friends. I brought Ezra and Hannah with me. Only Samantha and Sofia were there since Gabriella, Warren and Lucas have moved back home. I missed them and little Oscar.

"We're starting to worry about you Joyana," Sofia said.

"Why? I'm totally fine," I said.

"First you flew around the world and collected all of these people. You barely even spend time with them. Viktor does. Now you barely even come out of your bedroom. You're not in heat so what's the problem?" She asked. "Not to mention, you let Simon out of prison."

Simon did let me release him from prison. He really did move to Texas too. He and his mate were very happy and expecting their first child. We kept in touch through text messages.

"I had to go get those people. They were in my head. Well half of them. Eloise said the horniness is a side effect of opening the blockage. It should calm down soon. And Simon will earn his place out here," I said.

Oh no. I could tell he was starting without me.

"Listen, Samantha, would you mind watching my kids for a minute?

"Just go," she said, shaking her head.

I rushed him along then took a shower. I was getting sore. I toweled off then he came over and kissed my nose, my eyelids, cheeks then finally my lips.

Not again. I'm getting sore.

Then hold my hand and I'll take care of the rest.

By the time we were done it was time for dinner. We went and collected our children from Samantha. She was fine with it even though I felt bad.

We ate dinner and then it was back to bed.

That night I dreamed of treadmills and pearls.

It took a few days then we were back to normal. However, the mate bond was much stronger. Occasionally interrupting our day to make love.

I went to visit Eloise. She was staying in a house about two blocks away. We were the only house on a cul de sac. It was on a long road. The nearest neighbors were his parents. The entire block was built to house retired family members.

His sister is having a house built after what happened last time. I think everyone is slowly moving out of the pack house because of us.

"What brings you here today, my child?" Eloise said.

"I think you already know," I said.

"You want to ask about Hannah," she said.

"Exactly. Why do those people want my daughter?"

"They want her for her power of course. The things she is going to inherit from you and Viktor are amazing. Anyone would want that power," she said.

"And what about this Moon God? Does he exist?" I asked.
