His Reluctant Luna

Alice -

After meeting Rossi girls and convincing them to join the training, I returned with Katherine. Lucian and I needed to talk. If Gregory's brother had escaped, he could be a potential threat.

"You seem upset," Katherine said while I drove back to the packhouse.

"I am feeling bad about the humiliation and fear those girls went through. I haven't tried reaching out to the new pack members. Things were so busy in the last year that they slipped off my mind. I feel like a failure." I lamented.

"Don't say that, Alice. You have been the perfect, Luna. There has always been, and will always be such packs. When the Alphas turn out to be crazy, the pack suffers. My parents belonged to such a pack. "

"I thought you always lived here!" I exclaimed, turning to face Katherine.

"I was born here, but my parents were from the now decimated Blue-star pack. Their Alpha was weird. They had many rules around ranking. Mating with humans was forbidden. If any higher-ranking female had a lower ranking mate. They wouldn't be allowed to stay together. My mother was a high-ranking beta, and my father a low-rank Omega. When they imprinted on each other, they were forbidden from mating. It didn't work. Mating pull increases when the mates are forced to stay apart. So, they beat and tortured them, assuming this would break their bond. My mother was forced to mate with another high-ranking beta. It broke her heart."

"That's so terrible, I am sorry to hear that, Katherine." I gasped.

"Then there was a rouge attack and my mother's former mate died in the attack. My parents decided to elope. After months of wandering, they were accepted into the Crimson Shadow pack. It was under Lucian's grandfather at that time. And that is how I ended up here."

"I am glad your parents had a happy ending."

"Yes, but not everyone gets a second chance. It's Unfortunate, that the black stone's alpha was a lousy man."

"He was a piece of shit!" I said angrily, I couldn't get over him tryin to own me.

"I will talk to Lucian and discuss how to deal with those traumatized girls." I decided.

"Hey, ma petite," Lucian broke into a smile as soon as I had entered the living area of our home.

"I thought you were training with the pups," I replied, plopping down next to him on the plush couch.

"Yeah, I was there, and it seemed like they were all having fun beating each other up. Since you were upset and all by yourself, I decided to have you join me for an early lunch here. The weather is great for a picnic. I've got all your favourites." Lucian grinned.

"How thoughtful, yes I am upset. Those girls..... I wish I could help them." I said dejectedly.

Lucian wrapped his hand around me, rubbing my arm in a soothing gesture.

"Did you know Gregory's brother escaped?" I asked.

He froze, and his features seemed to have hardened.

"I know, but there is a limitation to what we can do. I have secured our pack to the best of my abilities. We'll deal with any further problems together. Now, can we proceed to our picnic?"

He enticed me by sending a vision of a wicker basket kept open on one end of the checkered blanket with a lavish spread of food under the sheltering canopy of a tall fig tree.

"Wow! You've convinced me. Just let me clean up first." I laughed.

Lucian chuckled, "I knew you'd agree to come."

We entered the woods and soon reached a spread blanket, full of scrumptious delights.

"When did you get all this done?" I turned towards Lucian.

"I am an Alpha, all I have to do is send a command." He wore a grin.

I laughed.

"I love it when you use your Alpha authority for arranging things like these," I said, admiring the spread.

He ran his appreciative emerald eyes over me, making me blush, which was quite weird. There was nothing he had never seen before. Dressed in a black tee and slacks, he exuded raw sexuality that never failed to make me want him.

There'd be time to satisfy this carnal hunger. The sensuous glint in his eyes indicated that he was as famished for me as I was for him.

"Hold on to that thought!" He smiled.

With a carefree laugh, I launched myself at a run and jumped into his arms at the last second. He braced himself, easily catching me. Our laughter and enjoyment were contagious. His mouth quirked in a smile and twirled me around several times before letting me down slowly. My body slid down sensuously over him, turning me on. I did not miss the hard evidence of his desire poking at my upper belly. I smiled and rubbed up and down on his erection. I lifted on my tiptoes and then slid back down low enough to rub on him.

He sucked in a breath.

Grabbing me tightly, he muttered, "You minx. Stop, or we won't be able to enjoy the lunch, I had the kitchen staff prepare for us." He kissed me ravenously, implying his words.

"We can enjoy it later," I panted in between kisses, "after we have satisfied our baser appetite."

Lucian was already filling my face with tiny kisses. He caught my lips and lapped at my lower lip and instilled his supple tongue in between. I sucked on his lips hungrily, letting my tongue slide and tangle with his.

I ran a finger up and down his tented pants, in what, I assume, was an enticing gesture. Even after all these months, I was still amazed at the length of his erection. I lightly grasped his cock through the fabric and squeezed rhythmically. Lucian clenched his jaw.

"Lady! If you don't stop now. I would sweep all the food off the blanket and take you on that right away. "

"That would be such a waste. I am torn between eating that or letting you eat me!" I laughed.

"Damm! " He groaned and grabbed my butts, pulling me into him. His mouth raked down my neck, placing a series of kisses.

"Alright, I give in. Let's have food first, but after that, your ass is mine." I smirked

at him.

"I'd gladly satisfy all your cravings, my sweet." He replied with a twinkle in his eyes.

He sat at the corner of the blanket while I took off my shoes and plopped myself down.

"Come on. Your lunch awaits." He waved his hand at the food spread out on the blanket.

I appreciatively inhaled the appetizing smell emanating from the food in the middle of the blanket. Lucian took a plate and piled food into it and passed it to me. I watched as he made another one for himself.

The heat of our desire simmered between us as we are, but there were more important things to talk about.

We talked quietly about the situation with the new members, touching briefly on how the pack was receiving the new members. They had been extremely accommodating so far.

"I think we should hire a professional psychologist for counselling these girls and other members. There is already so much to do, we won't be able to convince them on our own." I suggested.

"That's an excellent idea, let me ask Dr Jones if he can arrange for a werewolf psychologist," Lucian replied.

I looked at him cautiously, careful to guard my thoughts, he never talked about Savannah, he went silent whenever she was brought up. She had been a significant member of the pack and we were still coping with managing her share of work.

After eating, we packed the food away. Lucian lay down and motioned me to lie next to him. Extending his arm out, urging me to use it as a pillow. I complied and rested my arm across his chest. Soon we were making out on the sheet, which led to passionate lovemaking. As I rested my hand on his chest. The quiet thump of his heart lulled me, and the vibration of his voice relaxed me enough to make me sleepy.

He pulled me snugly to his side and pillowed his head on his fisted hand. It was a beautiful day to spend with my handsome mate.

"Lucian, I am going to have my heat in a few days," I whispered while tracing my finger on his bare chest.

"Yeah, I know," he replied, keeping his eyes closed.noveldrama

"I was thinking, let's not use a condom this time. I think I am ready......"

He didn't let me complete the sentence, he was suddenly sitting up, pulling me up

along with him.

"Are you serious?" He asked excitedly.

I smiled, coyly.

"Yes"

His smile was the most radiant I had ever seen.

"I can't wait to start," he grinned naughtily and kissed my forehead.
