She hugged him hard, pressing her face to his chest, and he closed his eyes, allowing himself to feel every strand of emotion weaving between them.
ABIGAIL Abby did her best to stay strong against the waves of uncertainty washing over her.
Romans arms around her were solid as rock, his chest a wall of brick.
With him holding her, there was no way she could fall.
Roman nuzzled the top of her head, then tilted her face up to his and brushed the softest kiss over her lips.
But it hit her like a bolt of lightning.
She felt like she was being filled with sparks of light.
Roman rumbled in surprise.
They each took a step back, only to move together again at once.
They clung to each other, both breathing heavily.
Were meant to be together, Abby.
Cant you feel it? How can you be afraid of this when it feels so good? Giddiness overcame her, and laughter bubbled up and out.
She stood on her tiptoes to kiss him.
Lets go hear what the Oracle has to tell us.
I cant wait for you to mark me.
Roman glanced at the remains of their meal and frowned.
You didnt eat enough, mate.
You radiate an enormous amount of energy, give so much, that its important for you to replenish yourself.
The steak was good, but I just wasnt very hungry.
She patted her belly.
Nervous about what the Oracle is going to say.
Then lets not wait another minute.
ROMAN
While Abby grabbed a cardigan, Roman told the warrior guards outside that they were going to the Oracles house and to give them some privacy.
He and Abby walked hand in hand across the meadow, and pack members who were out walking called out greetings to them.
Roman relaxed as the warmth and happiness radiating from Abby bounced around inside his body.
The link was open, and he knew their connection was lighting up the pack lands and everyone in it.
Even though she was nervous, she was still comforting the pack.
Did she realize what she was doing, or was it unconscious? He plucked a wildflower for her and smiled as she tucked it in her hair.
THE ORACLE The Oracle opened the door and greeted the alpha and his graced luna with a deep bow.
Mara had called right after the lights flickered to tell her shed just started her monthly bleed for the first time in two years.
She was elated, and she said Logan was so emotional hed had to step outside to collect himself.
Others, too, had called the Oracle to tell her their reactions to the surge of power that had swept through the pack.
Come in, come in.
You two have caused quite the stir.
When the lights dimmed they all felt it? Roman took a seat on her couch and pulled young Abigail down next to him, tucking her into his side.
The purr rumbling out of him was so strong, the Oracles teacup rattled on its saucer.
She picked it up and sat on the upholstered chair across from them.
Do you know what that was? Roman puffed up his chest and squeezed his mates shoulder.
Our souls trying to bond.
She eyed the powerful pair.
But the two of you coming together is an incredibly rare event.
That surge was full of life power.
ABIGAIL The Oracle squinted at Abby and Roman as she sipped her tea, then gazed into the distance, her eyes clouding over briefly before snapping back to Roman.
The young pup Carson would have been a strict alpha, would have ruled by sheer force.
A force that would have done significant damage.
Abigail would have been helpless to stop him.
Abby stayed quiet, and the Oracle continued.
What you are both feeling is all-encompassing power.
The alpha powers you had before, Roman, are being amplified.
Your strength, agility, protectivenesseverything is enhanced because of your connection to the graced luna.
Roman nodded.
Ive felt invincible lately, and all my senses are heightened.
Yes, and its the same for you, Abby, with your speed, your physical strength.
And your ability to heal others is far beyond that of a normal healer.
Your luna powers are amplified by Romans alpha powers.
The two of you bonding is so powerful that it cant be contained.
Its a blessing.
When these surges happen, the entire pack benefits.
Its how the Moon Goddess has chosen to bless the packthrough the two of you.
She loves all her children, but Pack Luko is special to her.
Abby felt like things were clearer nowshe was starting to understand what she was feeling and why.
And it helped that the Oracle wasnt speaking in half-riddles.
The old woman cackled, and Abby jumped.
You will learn my ways in time, the Oracle said with a grin.
Abby flushed, but Roman just chuckled, shaking his head.
He hadnt even flinched.
But she supposed it was difficult to take an alpha by surprise.
The Oracles smile softened.
You have questions about marking each other.
Yes, Oracle, Abby said, looking up at Roman.
Everything will be more intensethe pain, the powerbecause the connection will be on an astral level.
But dont be afraid.
Its a blessing, and the Moon Goddess is patiently awaiting your union.
Abigail, I know youll feel different afterward, but I was unable to ascertain how so.
It is my belief, however, that youll feel reenergized and lighter.
Thank you, Oracle, I feel much more at peace.
You have other questions.
She did, but on a personal, woman-to-woman sort of level.
Not right now.
Roman frowned at her.
If you have concerns, Abby, you need to voice them.
THE ORACLE The Oracle took another sip of her tea, hiding her smile.
Shed been a young woman once, with the same sorts of questions she sensed in the young luna.
She couldnt force Abigail to ask them, she could only hope she felt comfortable enough to do so.
Really, Im fine.
Ah, the young luna did not want to talk about her heat in front of the alpha.
Roman gave a warning rumble and narrowed his eyes.
I can feel youre not lying, Abby, but youare omitting something.
Abigail flushed, caught.
She opened and closed her mouth several times, but nothing came out.
The Oracle chuckled.
Your heat will be intense.
Alpha Roman raised his eyebrows as his mate put her face in her hands, then kissed the top of her head and stood.
Im going to speak to the warriors.
He winked at Abigail and grinned when she burst out in nervous giggles.
The Oracle let out a throaty chuckle.
She couldnt help itwatching the alpha flirt was heartwarming.
It was obvious an affection was growing between the two of them.
