shirt and laid my chest bare. She growled in a way I’d never heard before. Then, I felt something warm and wet hit my chest. I looked into her eyes and saw the tears falling down her cheeks.
“Adam, who did this to you?” she said as she stroked her fingers over the scars on my chest.
“It’s nothing, baby. Stop crying, please,” I begged.
“This is something. These wounds were deep,” she said.
I couldn’t tell her that I’d been beaten by my pride before I left for the military. I didn’t want her to know that I’d been jumped by the pack, too. I had joined the military, almost hoping I would die over there. I took the suicide missions, but, for some reason, I lived through them. As far as I could tell, the reason was called Luna.
Her fingers softly touched each of the wounds. “These are claw marks, aren’t they?”
I took her hands and kissed her fingers, nipping lightly at her thumb. She growled softly.
“Forget the scars, babe,” I said as I buried my hands in her hair and drew her head to mine. I kissed the tear tracks, then each of her eyes.
She pulled her shirt over her head and I could see she bore a few of the same marks I carried. Her scars were lighter than mine, but on her creamy skin, they showed. Tears fell from my eyes with no shame.
“Show me where your bedroom is, Luna,” I said before claiming her mouth.
She climbed off my lap and took my hand to lead me to her sanctuary.

The heavy door opened to reveal Luna at her best. The room was dark, but I could make out the forest painted on her walls and the grass colored carpet beneath my feet. The king-size bed log bed took up the entire room, but it fit perfectly.
“Get on the bed, honey,” I was able to rasp out as I kicked off my boots.
She scrambled onto the bed and watched me, her breathing heavy with anticipation.
“Just breathe, sweetheart, I intend on taking my time with you tonight,” I said as I kissed each scar that marked her stomach. I unbuttoned her jeans and pulled them down her legs. On her thighs, the scars continued, marring her perfect body. Tears fell from my eyes as I kissed each scar. “My beautiful Luna, what did they do to you?” With each kiss, I whispered, “I’m sorry.”
She was crying, but not out of pain. If it was healing me, then I was sure it was healing her as well. I could feel all the broken pieces inside of me beginning to come together.
I slid her panties from her legs and she was bared to my gaze. She had gained a few more curves since I’d last seen her naked for me, but it only increased her stunning beauty.
“Adam, please,” she said, covering her full breasts with her arms.
“Luna, stop. I’m just wondering how it is you got more amazing since I’ve been gone.”
That made her smile. “You are absolutely silly, Adam.”
“Maybe, but I’m also very lucky.” I kissed her stomach where our child had existed for such a short period of time. I pulled her legs over my shoulders and buried my head between them, lapping at the cream there. I felt her hands pull at my hair and her persistent growl grew louder. I could only smile as I kissed each of her inner thighs. Luna had only gotten more responsive over the years. I returned to suck on the gem hidden between her legs. She was panting heavily and I could feel her body begging for release. My Luna never begged which is something I loved about her. From bottom to top, I licked her repeatedly with a nip to her clit with each pass. I drew an “Oh gods, Adam” from her lips on the final pass. Her back bowed as the intensity of her orgasm hit her. I relished the image, knowing that I had done that to her, for her. I pulled my jeans off and climbed onto the bed with her.
Her eyes glistened with tears as she pulled me into her arms. “Oh, Adam, I’ve missed you so much,” she whispered before our lips met.
I was scared of hurting her, but her hand slipped between us and showed me exactly what she wanted. Her
