Chapter 20 - The challenge
Alice's POV -
I felt Lucian's presence behind me as soon as Eliza had spoken up. I admit I was glad he was there. Lena, my wolf was suddenly on the edge, and Eliza's questions did not make things easier. Somehow, I was never comfortable talking about dad's death. The people in my pack knew it, but here it was a different ball game. People were going to ask a question."Sorry to interrupt, but your Luna is now tired. So, it's time we break the party."Lucian announced as he placed his hand on my shoulder, gesturing me to leave. Though I enjoyed the dinner, I was glad to leave. My eyes were drooping. I did not realize I was tired. I was ushered back into the Alpha quarters soon after. "You were great! " Lucian said while smiling at me."I enjoyed it too," I beamed, which was a genuine answer."Did you meet vampires in Europe?" He asked while sitting on the couch and pulling me next to him.I laughed."Aunt Flora has many fr

Lucian kept his promise, and we did nothing. Rather, I dozed off soon after I landed on the bed, my exhaustion finally caught up. I woke with a start at about 8 am. The spot beside me on the bed was empty. The dishevelled state of the bed and the sheets stated that he had left the bed recently. I felt quite lonely and disappointed as if I was expecting him to wake me up.The bathroom door suddenly opened, and Lucian stepped out showered and shaved, a towel tied low, very low on his waist. I had seen him semi-naked before, but it was always intimidating to see his perfectly sculpted body.He smirked with the like-what-you-see look, and I realized I was gawking. I turned away, averting my eyes. He talked while he got ready."I have things to take care of today, love," Lucian said, throwing the towel away casually, giving me a glorious view of his bum.I turned a deeper shade of red, even though I am a werewolf and used to male nudity.He dressed in crisp shirt and
His reluctant Luna Chapter 22 - Date
Lucian walked into the study/library, whatever it was while I clutched the edge of the table behind me with both my hands. I was scared as hell! He was talking to someone on the phone and ignored me. I waited quietly leaning on the table, afraid to move. He slipped the phone into the inner pocket of his jacket. Then put two fingers under my chin and tilted my face until I met his eyes. He leaned forward and kissed my mouth. It was not an unfamiliar gesture to me; we had done more than kissing. However, something was demanding in the way he kissed. I tried to relax, tried to kiss him back, though I was trembling. He stopped abruptly."I could hear your heartbeat at the entrance. You are scared."I was uncertain if it was a question or a statement. I licked my lips."I am not scared; I was just startled."He arched a brow."Startled! Why so? Were you expecting someone else?" He gave a sly smile.I was certain he would be angry and probably kill me i

Alice (POV) -"I need to tell you something," I said, looking into his green depths."Sure, tell me, love, what is it?"I took a deep breath and braced myself.His phone buzzed suddenly. His eyes rolled down to its flickering screen. Then turned up at me."I am sorry, love, but I need to take this call." He said, looking at me apologetically.I nodded, leaving his hand."Yes, Damon," he spoke into the phone.His brows furrowed. He pinched the bridge of his nose as if dissipating the tension."Apprehend their families, and send out the trackers," he said.I had no idea what he was talking about but, I could make out, he was not pleased. He cut the call, then looked at me."Sorry about that, but we'll have to return. Something has come up, back in the pack." He said tersely."Everything alright?" I asked though it was obvious that was not the case.He looked down at his intertwined fingers for a few minutes, then look
His reluctant Luna Chapter 24 - Comforting the mate
Alice -I awoke to the chirping of birds on the windowsill. I checked my watch instantly. It was 5 am, still quite early. I turned my head towards the lovely sound, usually, the windows remained closed for security reasons. I wondered who opened it."Good morning, dear," Lucian's voice called out from across the room.Startled slightly, I turned towards the source of his voice, instinctively pulling the sheets over my body as I caught sight of him. He disengaged himself from the chair near the fire, looking extremely stiff and haggard. He sat down near the bed and smoothed out the bed covers before him. He looked very exhausted, with dark circles under his eyes."Are you ok?" I asked, concerned.He reached out to rub my foot through the sheets. He wanted comfort; I could sense that. Wolves like to touch each other when they are stressed."You look like, hell! What happened?"He ran his hand through his hair, "I didn't get to sleep last nig
His reluctant Luna Chapter 25 - Dont challenge the mate bond
Katherine and Savannah watched in horror as I prepared to fight Eliza for the challenge."Why are you doing this, Eliza?" She asked."I am the best and strongest female of this pack. Even Alpha Lucian acknowledged that. What is the harm in challenging the Luna? It's fair." She shrugged."Are you stupid? You are challenging the mate bond! You cannot take a mate's place through some challenge, stop it immediately! Alpha Lucian will not be happy." Katherine warned.She was right, but Eliza looked determined. I could smell the jealousy from her. This was the perfect opportunity to step away from the mate bond. Lucian already had an interested candidate.I could just walk away, or lose the challenge? But I could not do that. I was not in control anymore... Lana was.I posed, ready to attack. Without further ado, I burst out of my clothes, shifting into a brown wolf.There were yelps and gasps around me. They were seeing Luna's true form for the first time
His reluctant Luna Chapter 26 - Confusion
"Fat chance! Mr Blake," I quipped."A man can always try," he shrugged.I laughed," why don't you go back to bed and catch up on your sleep. Meanwhile, I will keep myself busy duelling with your jealous Exes?""I don't have that many Exes, at least not in this pack. After Eliza, I swore off dating anyone from my pack. Didn't want any bad vibes.""Thank God for the small mercies," I muttered."Now come on, go back to sleep, "I placed my hand on his chest and pushed him towards his bedroom. It was like pushing on a wall of muscles.He laughed and held my wrists, pulling me towards him. As a result, I tripped and fell towards him. Colliding with his chest.My breathing stopped as I looked up into his green depths. I suddenly realized that he was half-naked, and I was dressed in just a robe."You look extremely hot and irresistible in a robe." He whispered in my ears."The way you say it, it sounds very erotic," I said, raising my eyebrows.It w

Alice (POV) - "What did you hear?" I asked cautiously.Savannah pressed her lips and looked down, "everything.""Damm! " I sighed and rubbed my temple."I am sorry, I didn't mean to... I wasn't intruding, Alice. But, now I understand why you are still unmarked." She said in a very placid tone. I could not understand how she was going to take this. As a beta, her loyalties would always lie with her Alpha."It's not that simple, Savannah," I sighed."Why don't you explain it to me, if you can trust me? I know how to keep a secret." She smiled, it seemed genuine enough."How can you keep a secret from your Alpha?"" What I mean is you can share your issue with me, maybe I can provide you with a solution to this problem. Lucian and I have been friends for a long time. I know him quite well. I might be able to help." She insisted.For a moment, I wondered did Savannah and Lucian date. But that thought seemed stupid. He had assured me h
His reluctant Luna Chapter 28 - Lucian's past
Savannah sat in front of me, staring intently. I had narrated my entire situation with Mark and Lucian to her. I was taking a massive risk, but I did not have a choice."Well, that's pretty messed up," she responded.I nodded in agreement."You understand, don't you?" I pleaded with her."I think your friend Emma is right, you should talk about this with the Alpha, and clear your stand. He will be heartbroken because he had been waiting for his mate desperately. He was particularly difficult in the last two years. But it would be for the best, I believe. "I stared at her in disbelief. She was fine with me dumping her Alpha. I did not expect such a response from Savannah."Really? You think so?" I asked.She hesitated for a moment."The pack recognizes the fact that you are still unmarked, and unmated." She said pointedly."Crap! So, those make-out sessions were not leaving enough scent to convince them." I thought internally."I heard them
