I push my head backward, snatching my lips away from his thumb, “Can you stop it, because your words are scaring me,” my eyes rise to meet his.
“You don’t need to be scared over my words, Elara, I mean no harm,” with his hands shoved in his pockets, he takes more steps closer to me, “If I knew I would end up craving you, I wouldn’t have sold you to Alpha Arthur,” his finger hold up at my face, “Trust me, I will get you back from him.” Kalus winks at me and leaves the room.
My feet stumble as I let out the breath I’ve been holding back. What is he, and what does he want from me? Why do I find myself entangled around men? What was my offense in my past life that the Moon Goddess chose to torment me with my mates?
Gideon whom I loved and trusted so much broke my heart. I have the crazy Alpha Arthur, whom I’m carrying his child in my womb. But he just wants to kill me and be done with. I can’t even speak of the evil fated mate the Moon Goddess gave to me, Alpha Blade. The psychopath who wants to forcefully get rid of my unborn pup.
I don’t even know what he feels for me or wants with me, and now, I have this. What do I even call him? This is so insane. At this point, I might run into the streets, a crazy person.
To avoid this incident happening for a second time, I rush to the door, making sure I lock it, before strolling to the bathroom to finally have a warm bath. The room Alpha Arthur has given to me is quite nice and spacious, but I basically don’t like the pink decoration. I understand it’s a lady thing but it’s not for me.
Returning from the bathroom, and walking through the large luxurious wardrobe filled with night robes of different colors, my eyes scan each and every one of them. I pull out a white night robe, and wrap it around my body.
My butt sinks into the bed, and I press the bed with my fingers to feel the softness. A smile spread across my face. For a while, I find myself not thinking about my problems as I throw my legs on the bed, my back resting with my hands holding my head up.
I feel this lightness within me, which makes me close my eyes, to have that one good sleep after a long time.
The repeated banging on the door wakes me up from my sleep, causing me to jump from the bed, my feet landing on the floor. “Who is that?” I think to myself as the banging goes harder like it’s a thief trying to invade one’s home.
My sight darts to the clock on the wall, and my brows furrow. It’s past midnight, and every normal being is meant to be asleep. So who the fuck is it?
The continuous banging jerks me off, bringing back my attention to the door. I hurry toward it, open the door, and my sight meets with Alpha Arthur who stands with a smile on his face.
“What are you doing here, Alpha Arthur?” I can’t help but question him because this is abnormal. Coming here by this time of the night.
With his palm on the door, he pushes it wide open and enters the room before closing and locking the door. “Seems you are forgetting this is my home, and I have the right to whatever,” he slowly walks toward me, causing me to take steps backward. My eyes fixed on his blue unwrap night robe that helps reveal his white underwear.
“Alpha, I think it’s a bit late, and…”
“And what?” He speeds forward, and enfolds his right hand around my waist, pulling me closer to himself. “I’m here to make you face your next punishment for stabbing my stomach,” he slightly adjusts the neck of my robe with his left fingers.
Now what? What is it he wants with me? What punishments does he want me to undergo again after exhausting me at the boutique earlier? What should I do about this right now?
I gulp anxiously, my throat dry as I struggle to lock eyes with him, “Alpha, I’m very sorry for using my claws on you. Right now, I’m begging for your mercy,” my voice sounds barely audible.
Alpha Arthur sits on the bed, pulls me to himself and I find myself falling into him. My hand grabs his shoulder. He holds my waist, fixing my butt on his lap. I try to stand up but he pulls me back in, at this point, my heart begins to race.
“I want you to stay this way. This is your second punishment,” he whispers, resting his head on my shoulder.
I hear him let out a breath of relief like someone who just found his peace, and my heart races in discomfort.
My eyes run everywhere as my body begins to tremble. I’m yet to understand what he is doing, resting on me, because this attitude of his, is very confusing. A ruthless Alpha like him can’t be acting this tender, like a pup. Do I honestly have an effect on him, or he’s using me for something I have no idea about? I just wish this night could just come to an end.
Anxiously clicking my fingers, my lips press into a thin line as I ponder about what to do or how to act in this situation. This is very awkward to me.
Right then, he moves his resting head from my shoulder.
Alpha Arthur lifts me from behind my legs, his other hand across my back as he gently lays me on the bed. He lies beside me, his elbow resting on the bed, his palm holding up the side of his head.
His eyes look over at me, “I know it’s late, Elara, but I just want to watch you sleep,” he utters the most uncomfortable words ever, a faint smile playing on his lips.
How does he want me to sleep when he is beside me, looking at me? What if he gets a reminder of everything I’ve done to him, and strangles my tiny neck, killing me this time for good? I can’t sleep. I won’t fall asleep. Oh, Moon Goddess! What kind of punishment is this?
With my thinking, I try to throw my face to the other side. Alpha Arthur hurriedly places his hand on my cheek, and brings my face back to him, “I love looking at your beautiful face. Don’t take it away from me,” he strokes my face with his fingers, giving me a smile.
To be very honest, this is going to be my longest night ever. The fact he enjoys putting me in tense situations, indicates he is very sick, because who does this to others?
Alpha Arthur spins me sideways, my back view facing him. He wraps his huge hands on my tiny body, holding me tightly. I can feel his warm breath on my skin, which makes me more uncomfortable.
“Let’s stay this way,” he whispers.
For a few more minutes, everywhere is mute. The only thing that can be heard is the ticking clock, and the quietness of our breaths. After a while, I can tell he had fallen asleep, and I also close my already heavy eyes in a deep sleep.
Moving my body on the bed the next morning, my arms spread to the sides of the bed. Without feeling the body of Alpha Arthur, I blink my eyelids open, and sit up with a yawn escaping my lips. I already know Alpha Arthur has left because I didn’t sense his wolf, or a whiff of his scent.
My busy eyes go to the wall clock, it’s 9 am already, and right then, I hear the grumbling of my stomach, and my yawns increases.
I push out of bed, to make my way out, when my door opens and a maid walks in. She bows her head in respect, “Luna, breakfast is ready.”
“Huh!? Luna what?” my eyes sprint side by side, searching for who she is speaking about. “What Luna do you speak of?”
She slowly points at me, “You Ma’am. The Alpha informed us all that you are the new Luna,” she confirms.
My body jerks as I begin to laugh at the joke, pointing at myself. I notice the maid’s cheeks red with embarrassment over my reaction and I have to stop laughing. Putting myself together, I walk out of the room, and she follows behind me.
We get to the dinner table. My mouth begins to water over the fine dishes on the table which all have nice aromas, and hurriedly, I take a position at the side of the dinner table.
The dinner table is very long, and wide. With a better look, I see Alpha Arthur sitting at the other far end, already having his breakfast.
A warrior walks up to me, informing me that Alpha Arthur wants me to come sit closer to him.
Without trying to stress myself about anything, I rise, and adjust myself toward Alpha Arthur.
Alpha Arthur points at the Royal chair on his left which I’m sure is meant for his Luna, “This is your position. You can sit.”
I immediately fix my butt on it because, at this point, I’m very famished, and not ready for dramas.
As my butt lands on the seat, about to get comfortable, I hear Chloe’s voice from behind, “That position belongs to me, Elara.”
My eyes suddenly rise, and they meet with the angry stares of Chloe. She looks like she is about to devour me as she stands side by side with a Beta Wolf. If I’m not mistaken, the Beta Wolf is practically Alpha Arthur’s Beta.
But why does he also stare at me with much hate in his eyes?
