His Reluctant Luna

Alice

"I have one more condition," I said, finally feeling a tiny bit bolder.

He sighed again. "What is that?"

I sucked in a breath, "I want to spend Christmas and New year with my family. I have been doing so every year. Therefore, I am here."

I should have stayed in London, I thought.

"Hmm, is it important for you?"

"Yes, very significant," I said eagerly.

"As a Luna, your presence will be needed at the celebrations back in my place." My face fell.

"But I will make sure that you spend time with your family as well."

"Thank you," I started breathing again.

He bent down again and tucked a strand of hair behind my ear, "you don't need to thank me, I just want you to be happy. I want to take care of all your needs"

'As if I can't take care of mine,' I thought.

Then, to my utter surprise, he kissed me on my cheek. It was not sensual, just a chaste kiss one would give to a friend or someone close. But it was enough to push me off the edge. I could barely breathe, I needed to rush out immediately otherwise I was afraid I would end up tearing off his shirt.

"I..... I need to go," I winced and backed away. Jumping off the chair.

He slanted his head and regarded me with a smirk," well, we are leaving in the next 20 minutes. Just collect your essentials," he raked me from top to bottom.

"Though I love the robe, I would prefer if you were dressed more appropriately for the travel."

I blushed and ran out of the library. I did not stop until I had reached my room. My life was screwed!

A few minutes later I was dashing around the room along with Emma who was there to help.

I changed into jeans and a white polo neck shirt. I wanted to be covered, as much

as possible, especially when I was supposed to travel for hours with that green- eyed monster!

"Alice! You will be fine, relax," Emma assured me," your wolf loves him. He would never hurt you." She said softly.

"What about Mark?" I asked Emma while looking at my diamond ring.

"He'll understand, you will have to break up with him. It is better for you eventually......"

"I am not breaking up with him," I cut off Emma," Lucian will reject me, I will make sure of that," I said determinedly.

Emma rolled her eyes, "there you go again. Your mate is your gift, Alice, and the way you lunged at Rick. You are already possessive about him."

"Excuse me, that was my wolf, not me. I do not love Lucian." Lana growled inside me.

"You don't love Mark either, you are just fond of him. " She pointed out. "Why are you even going with Lucian, just tell him you have a fiancée, who is a human that doesn't even know your reality." She snapped at me.

"That would start a bloodshed, I am trying to avoid mindless killings and solve this peacefully."

Emma rolled her eyes, "you want to be with Lucian, but you are too adamant to admit it. That's all." She smirked.

I sighed, there was no point arguing with mated wolves, especially Emma.

Lucian and Rick exchanged glares.

"If you hurt my sister, I will kill you," Rick said, his tone was serious.

"I will take better care of her, be assured." Lucian countered.

They exchanged a curt nod as I was huddled in one of the waiting SUVs. It felt like I had prevented a war!

Lucian slid next to me, and we started for God knows where. I could feel his eyes on me while I stared outside at the trees.

"You are not wearing a skirt today." He suddenly said.

I flipped my head towards him," how does it matter what I am wearing."

"I like skirts," he grinned.

"Am I supposed to dress as per your whims?"

"I won't mind that," he said pleasantly.

"Any other command? Your highness." I asked sarcastically.

"How many robes do you have?" He asked, his eyes raking me.

"Pervert!" I muttered under my breath. I was going to regret it.

I was suddenly pinned to the back of my seat. His face looming over mine, "what did you call me?" He asked through gritted teeth.

"Umm, nothing," I lied and backed further in the seat. His main driver in front was unfazed as if he were used to such things happening in the car.

He narrowed his eyes, "I heard it."

I have had enough of it.noveldrama

"Pervert, I called you a pervert because that's what you are!" I was seething in anger, and so was he.

He held my cheeks a little too tightly for my comfort.

"I won't tolerate any insolence; I am your Alpha, and you will show me respect."

His eyes flashed with anger and his voice was gruff.

I wanted to hurl some more adjectives but with my cheeks being squeezed I could not speak, so I simply glared at him.

He pulled my lips to his and lightly brushed them. I wanted to avoid having another make-out session in the car, but after a few seconds of teasing, I gave up. His tongue began to probe into my mouth and allowed mine to meet response.

I moaned involuntarily as he trailed a series of kisses down my neck. I arched my back against his chest.

That is the thing with mate bonds, it is hard to resist the sexual urge. Once your mate touches you, your body starts responding as if on autopilot. The wolf slowly takes over. It only follows its animal instinct. He suddenly left kissing me, his lips were curled into that evil smile of his, "This is not over yet, you will be appropriately punished for your insolence."

I was red-faced and angry over my stupidity.

"Oh? Do I look like a 12-year-old?"

He narrowed his gaze and his smile seemed to falter a little.

"You want respect? Then earn it, Mr Blake. It is not given freely." I said scathingly.

He was furious, I knew it. That is what I wanted. Good for him. I congratulated myself.

He did not say anything, instead looked ahead in the front. I realized the car had stopped moving. Did we arrive already? It was barely a 30mins ride. His pack could not be that near to mine.

I looked out curiously and to my horror. I spotted a helicopter a little distance away. The two men exited the vehicle. The door opened, and I was being pulled out by Lucian.

"What's all this?" I asked bewildered.

"We'll fly to the Crimson shadow lands. It's faster this way, now come on." He said gruffly.

I gaped at the black beast, its blades twirling. Emma was right, Lucian was indeed loaded.
