As he inhaled her delicious scent, he could feel his member begin to kick between his legs. He leaned in again and kissed her deep on the mouth, the taste of his tongue was everything she didn’t know she wished for. Her hands entwined him and pulled his body even closer, their lips pressed against each other until it was only two naked bodies locked together in motion on the tent ground. Cian felt his member go stiff as her rock-hard nipples pressed into his chest, as her icy breath blew gently into his ear, he then pressed a finger into her
“Good morning, Kiara.”“Good morning, alpha Lucas.” Kiara bowed upon entering his presence. Ava was in his inner chambers in his bedroom, while Lucas and Kiara where in the lounge, the outer chambers, but Ava could hear their conversation perfectly.“You requested to see me?”“Yes master.”“For what?”“I am terribly sorry for what I am about to say master, but I cannot continue going to the camps with Beta Cian master.”Lucas appeared puzzled, it was an offence to refuse any duty assigned to you by the alpha, but for Kiara, Lucas could always make an exception.“And why is that?” He asked softly.“Well, it’s just that I’m going through a lot right now…”Lucas let out a sigh. “Say no more Kiara, I understand. In fact, I apologize, I shouldn’t have tried to overwhelm you wit
“Why have you been avoiding me, Kiara?”She doesn’t have an answer to that question, she only responded with a blank face while her thoughts continued in her head. Why didn’t she see him on time? How easy it would have been for her to escape from this situation, but now she is trapped, with no other choice than to face him. She does not want to be here now, she’s not ready to face him, not after all that’s happened between them.Cian saw her expression, and held concern for her in his eyes. He let go of her hand and continued speaking to her softly, letting out a sigh first.“Alpha Lucas told me to relieve you of your assignments this morning. He says you’ve been facing some challenges.” Kiara held her gaze down, she didn’t feel like talking about this now, especially not with the man that caused her to feel like this. Cian continued speaking not withstanding her silence.
Clink-clink-clinkThe emcee of the occasion who was dressed in a white tux with a mask that complimented his outfit clinked the wine glass he held in his hand with a small spoon, calling the attention of the many guests who were gathered in their different tuxedos and ballgowns, their faces shielded by masks of various shapes and sizes. Ava was there too, wearing her gown and a peacock-feathered mask Lucas put on for her before the ceremony. Thanks to the help of Nani and the event planners, the hall where the ball was held was dazzling with gold decorations, fabrics and accessories, an ice sculpture of the treaty stood bold on the stage near the grand piano, everywhere looked spectacular, all the alpha’s thought this as they arrived, they knew they never made a mistake whenever they chose the decision to vote the dawn pack as the host every year.Alpha Lucas had never looked more charming dressed in his polish black tux, his rich dark hair was waxed backwa
‘You're in love with him!!!’ This can’t be happening, it wasn’t supposed to get to this point, the mate bond was one thing, love was another, but even though the mate bond was stronger, it didn’t come from her heart, but love did. Ava gasped, she had never felt love before, it was such an exciting feeling she regretted that she almost didn't want it to go away, the reason why it was almost was because these feelings in her heart, were for the last person she ought to feel for, the one who should be her number one enemy, her kidnapper, her abductor, the one took her away from her responsibilities, he took her, he took her wolf and now he’s done the worst of all; he’s taken her heart. This is not good, it’s not good at all because she doesn’t want to leave now when she ought to, if word got out that the moonlight pack’s supposed Luna was here instead of fulfilling her responsibilities, it would not be good at all for Ray because everyone would e
“Would you like to dance with me?” Of course, she wanted to dance with him, she wanted that more than anything in the world at this moment, all she wanted was to be as close to him as she could, because she knew that their time together was soon drawing to an end. Her expression gave him the answer as he took her hand and led her back into the hall, slow music was now being played by the orchestra and couples were in two’s dancing slowly to the rhythm. They both walked until they reached the center and Lucas wrapped both his hands around her waist, looking into her eyes as Ava circled her two hands to rest on his shoulders, the mask he wore did nothing to shield the longing she saw in his eyes, but what was he longing for? The both of them kept on moving slowly together to the soft rhythm, even when the music stopped, they didn’t move away from that position still holding each other’s gaze even though they’d stopped dancing, all eyes were now
***TWO WEEKS LATER***“Psst… hey did you hear the rumors circulating round?”“They aren’t rumors Kain, sadly they are true. The messenger even delivered the news round the territories same time it happened.”“But how come?”“No one knows, maybe the moon goddess’s protection has left that pack or something, so much bad luck going on over there.”“I feel so sorry for them though, the moonlighters, losing their future queen first and then losing their alpha about a month later. It must be devastating for the leadership.”“Let’s just hope that they appoint a new alpha on time before those rogues show their ugly face.”“They already have one appointed, I heard the beta is taking over since the late alpha bears no offspring.”“The beta? Well, that’s good then, just hope that he’ll be able to take up the responsibility. The w
“DON’T YOU DARE TOUCH ME!!!!”The words stung hurt worse than a bee sting. It reminded him of the way Amelia spoke to him on the night she and his son died, she neglected him, she revealed her hatred for him, and now Ava was doing the same thing too.“Ava…”“What Lucas? WHAT??? Haven’t you ruined my life enough already? Why couldn’t you just leave me alone in the first place? Everywhere I went, you kept on coming after me… Even after I rejected you…. You chose not to leave me alone, and now look at what’s happened… Because I wasn’t there to protect him…” SNIFFS, “he’s gone now because of me…” she whimpered, letting the tears run freely this time.He tried reaching her again. “Ava … I know you don’t mean what you’re saying, I know it’s because you’re angry…”“For the goddess
Ava laid there in that position, letting the tears run freely. Why had she said those words to him? And since when did it become a Luna’s duty to protect her alpha? She just said anything that came to her mind at that point, most of which didn’t make sense. She’d even lied that she was in love with Ray, when she knew the person her heart really beats for. But she didn’t choose any of this… she didn’t choose Lucas to be her mate, she didn’t choose to fall in love with him.‘You didn’t choose Ray to be your betrothed either.’‘Not now Layla, please not now.’The sobs continued, she said terrible things to him he didn’t deserve at all, she asked herself the reason for saying those words, maybe its because her she didn’t want to accept the fact that she was in love with the man who abducted her, the man who wanted to change the course of her destiny she’d prepared her wh
