Chapter 73 — Mind Sweep, Trial, and Training

Luna's POV:

“Tatum we can’t.” I say between heavy breaths as I feel his hot tongue playfully flipping one of my nipples.

I feel Tatum slide his hand inside my pants and begin to caress my most sensitive spot sending a shockwave of pleasure through me.

“Are you telling me you want me to stop?” He says in a seductive voice as he slides his fingers inside of me.

I gasp in pleasure and I am unable to resist or deny him. Tatum uses his free hand to unbutton his pants, sliding them off to reveal he was as excited as I was. Tatum pushes me back on the desk and removes my pants then allows his mouth to travel up my thighs to my core before making his way to my breasts. In one swift movement Tatum pushes himself inside of me and I cry out with pleasure as Tatum lets out a low growl.

After a few moments of unimaginable pleasure Tatum picks me up then sits in his chair placing me on top of him. He places his hands on my hips and I begin to grind into him pushing myself closer to climax. Tatum's husky groans with every thrust send me over the edge, with Tatum’s climax following mine. Tatum and I stay in his chair for a few moments catching our breath before we get dressed and begin to head towards home.

The next afternoon Angel comes for me as planned and takes me to purgatory. As soon as I get there I am ushered into a room as Angel explains to me that they are going to do a mind sweep. I begin to get nervous but Angel assures me that everything will be fine and soon everything around me goes dark.

I begin to stir as I struggle to open my eyes and sit up.

"Calm down Luna everything will be fine but I need you to relax." Angel says in a firm but gentle tone.

My head suddenly begins to throb painfully.

"Luna, focus on me. Everything will be fine." Angel speaks as she puts her hands on my shoulders.

"What did you do to me?" I ask, pulling away from her and holding my head.

"We did a memory sweep, remember." Angel replies, placing her hands in her lap.

"Why does my head hurt so badly?" I ask.

"A memory sweep is very difficult and can be slightly painful for the host. You are faring much better than Samael and Russell did." Angel replies with a laugh.

"Samael and Russell will be executed soon thanks to you and I wanted to formally thank you for saving Kali and Titan." Angel says as she lowers her head.

"I’m sorry to Angel. I don't know what came over me that night. I should have controlled myself better." I responded remembering how I had burned Russell and Samael and how Tatum had grabbed onto me.

"You were protecting the ones you love and more importantly your mate and Alpha. Love can make many emotions rise within us and we become capable of more than we can imagine. You have powers that even the council can't understand." Angel replies.

"That's a bad thing though right?" I ask, not sure if I want to know the answer.

"Not really. They know your powers and how they work. They've just never met or know of a being that has been able to wield them all at once and now it seems that I have a lot of work to do." Angel says with a smile.

"What do you mean?" I ask.

"Because of the memory sweep they did on you, Russell, and Samael they were able to gather all the evidence they needed...and so much more." Angel says with a hint of sadness.

"I never realized what you had been through with that vile creature." Angel continues.

"Several of our cases at the firm were solved as well...including your parents' murders." Angel says softly.

"What?" I reply in confusion.

"Russell was responsible for your parents' deaths as well as many other creatures. He killed without mercy. Why he and Samael created a pact to work together is beyond me. Russell was going to kill Samael after he killed Titan and take you as his own. He didn't account for your powers being as strong as they were. He also didn't realize you had a mixture of all three beings running through your veins and that you can wield multiple powers." Angel replies with a chuckle.

My head suddenly begins to spin at her words and I have a sudden longing to be near Tatum.

"When can I go home?" I ask.

"I will take you soon, for now rest, your training will start soon." Angel replies as she stands.

I lie gently back down and close my eyes wishing my head would stop throbbing when I drift off to sleep once more.

Tatum's POV:

I'm sitting in my office when my mother suddenly appears before me.

"You'll be pleased to know that Luna will be returning home soon." She says as she clasps her hands together.

"She shouldn't have to be doing any of this anyways." I reply in a low growl.

"You know I have no control over that son." She replies.

I sat quietly continuing my work as my mother just stood there.

"Look I know you're upset and you have every right to be. The council chose this path for her and accepted the terms you all had come up with. They saw Samael's and Russell's pasts and they saw everything he put her through." She says quietly.

"And what's happening to them? Are they just going to be allowed to live and walk the earth with their heartless souls?" I reply, finally looking up at my mother.

"If you must know they are being executed by the end of the day. There was too much darkness and evil within them for the council to overlook and allow them to live. I know you want Luna home and I assure you she will be home soon enough. She is resting as we speak and as promised she will be returned to this realm every day after her training." My mother replies.

"I sure hope so. Our wedding is less than a week away and I will not have anyone standing in our way." I snarl.

"Son, you need to relax. Go home and rest and wait for your mate to come back home." My mother says with worry.

"I'll rest when my mate returns safely to me today." I reply and return back to the work in front of me.

I hear my mother sigh softly just before leaving my office. I've caught everything up here at the firm and there's really nothing left for me to do by this time so I begin to pack my briefcase. I suddenly hear a knock at the door.
