The Luna of Rain novel Chapter 4

I stood up from the ground and ceased the rain within the small clearing I was in with the flick of my wrist. I couldn’t sit there and wallow anymore. Self loathing wasn’t going to help. Practicing my powers would though. I needed to focus on anything other than Alpha Xander.

“Let’s train Weather.”

“Are you sure you want to do this right now? You know it takes a lot of concentration.”

“I’m sure.”

After listening and sniffing my surroundings to make sure no one was close, I summoned Weather. In no time, we were on all fours and I was looking down at Weathers sapphire blue paws that glowed under the moonlight. Our fur always showed bits of silver when under the moon to show we were blessed by the Goddess herself. The silver bits looked like raindrops were cascading down our fur but the real beauty was when we were running and the silver transformed into a torrential downpour.

“What should we train? I’ve been wanting to try summoning a mini tornado.”

“That’s going to take a lot of concentration and power but I know we can manage.”

In the beginning, my powers were linked to my emotions and it took a long time for me to manage my moods and feelings. By the time I was five, I was able to summon rain with the flick of my wrist instead of it only coming when I was upset. From that day forward, I’d always had a handle on my emotions.

The moon was shining high in the sky with little to no clouds so I knew it would be a perfect night to try something advanced, knowing we could pull strength straight from the moon. I dug my paws into the earth and was just about to try to summon the wind when Weather stopped.

“I hear someone,” she said. She lifted her nose into the air to smell the intruder when I was hit with the most intoxicating scent. It reminded me of the air after a thunderstorm mixed with pure male musk, instantly making me salivate. At that moment all I wanted to do was run in the direction of the scent and bury my nose in it.

I was kicked out of the trance I was in when Weather started panicking in my head. “It’s our mate! If we can smell him I guarantee he can smell us. I’m going to shift back then you need to summon the rain to wash away our scent.”

Less than a second later I was back on two feet and hurriedly put my clothes back on. I could hear Xander coming closer so I summoned rain before Weather retreated back into the depths of my head where no one but me could sense her.

“I thought you wanted him to know we were his mate?” I asked her. She’d been telling me we needed our mate for so long, hiding her seemed like the last thing she’d want.

“The time isn’t right yet,” was all she said.

“Why can I smell him now but couldn’t earlier in the dining room?”

“I blocked his mate scent from you so you wouldn’t freak out and run before you got the chance to see him.”

I rolled my eyes at her.

The rain poured down around me drenching my clothes and washing away the scent of Weather but nothing had ever felt better. I was always the most comfortable and calm in the rain.
