“Candace, is this how you talk to your Luna?”
Edward’s POV
Members of the pack needed a Luna and that girl is perfect for the part, she is not only beautiful but she seems so innocent and kind.
I can’t work straight as images of her lovely face come to my mind, she has big beautiful chocolate eyes that match her long soft looking wavy hair. Soft-looking lips and I hate to admit it but she is driving my Lycan crazy, fucking mate bond! The desire to take her in my arms and rip off her clothes so that I should bury my erection in her is getting stronger.
Candace barges into my office and stands in front of me, crossing her arms against her chest in anger. I close my eyes momentarily before opening them again, I was hoping she was gone but I wasn’t that lucky.
“What is this rumor going around that you have a Luna now?” She screeches, and I lean my head against the chair.
“Yes, I need her for the pack,”
“What about me!”
“Well, that girl was made in a deal and will get people’s respect unlike you, plus, my brother already brought her,” I shrug, dismissing her with the wave of my hand.
My brother informed me that he is throwing a party to introduce the new Luna so I leave work early. Once in the house, the guests have already arrived and they are all anxious to meet their new Luna.
“Ladies and gentlemen, I’d like to introduce you to the woman you’ve all been desiring to see, your new Luna, Caliana Meyers,”
My mate descends the stairs and I’m stunned by her overwhelming beauty. She is wearing a gentle smile that doesn’t reach her eyes and one couldn’t tell she’s anxious but I can, I detected she taps her fingers against her right hip in a rhythm when she’s anxious, I noticed during our occasional interaction. I interacted with a few guests that came when the girl
‘Caliana is her name,’ My inner Lycan, Ward, reminds me
‘I know that,’
‘Why don’t you ever mention it,’ He asks and I growl, frustrated with him. He wants her but I can’t risk it. We can’t fall for her, she might end up betraying me like her.
‘Say her name, just this once,’ He urges. I open and close my mouth. Her name is as lovely as she is but I can’t produce it for some reason
‘Say it,’
“Cal- Caliana Meyers,” I whisper and it felt so good, I had to compose myself not to scream it so I whispered it again and again
‘Caliana Meyers,’
‘Yes!’ My Lycan roared in my head. My eyes searched for her and I saw her talking to fucking Candace, this won’t go well. She was degrading her and insulting her, however, she didn’t shrink or get intimidated by her, instead, Caliana watched the girls calmly, coldly in fact. Ward couldn’t take it any longer, my legs were on autopilot as I marched over to the small group.
“Candace, is that any way to talk to your Luna?” The girls bowed their heads to me except my mate, she was watching me like she didn’t believe my words but soon, all the affection that was in her eyes a second ago was gone and anger replaced that, she bowed her head and excused herself, leaving me dumbfounded. Did I do something wrong?
I turned to leave but Candace grabbed my arm and stood closer to me, smiling she asked
“Can you dance with me, please?” I declined but she insisted and started acting childish again.
“I won’t stop asking until you accept to dance with me, Papi,” She smiled seductively and I extended my eyes to her, ignoring how Jamal was glaring at me.
‘She was making a scene,’ I said to him via mind link.
‘Don’t you think it’s disrespectful to dance with another person while your Luna is watching?’ He barks, I gripped Candace’s back as we swayed softly to the music
‘And I told you this, I don’t care about the
Meyers girl,’ I sneered. He blocked the link to me and went to my mate to dance, they only danced for a minute and when partners were switched during the dance, she vanished into thin air.
I immediately let go of the woman I was dancing with to look for her but I didn’t find her so I followed her intoxicating scent to the garden, I growled when I found her talking to another man.
Caliana’s POV
As I looked at my new Alpha defending me against this girl called Candace, I remembered what Marcus and Marcos said during breakfast, that she was his main whore, hurt crossed my eyes and was then replaced by rage and anger. I politely excused myself, leaving him with the woman.
“That vexing name is Candace, you’ll do well to stay away from her, Luna,” I turned around to face Aubrey, she was one of the super sweet ladies.
My eyes went back to the group where Alpha Edward is, Candace standing close to him and touching him in the most subtle but sensual way. I felt disgusted and I had to prevent my wolf from coming out and ripping her arms off, but I was angrier at the man who allowed this to happen and is unable to push her away. How long will this continue, the disrespect… Will I ever get used to it? Does one ever get used to their mate, fraternizing with others?
The music started to play and Jamal politely asked me to dance. I wanted to refuse but he was giving me that smile, and people were watching. I agreed to dance with but not for long as my eyes kept wandering to my cruel mate. He and Candace were close and no matter how much I tried to ignore them, I couldn’t anymore.
I secretly escaped the ballroom and went out to the garden, the air was refreshing, and a small smile tugged on my lips at the sudden tranquility I felt but not for long, a cold chill went down my spine and my wolf resurfaced, sensing someone watching us. My eyes trailed further into the bushes when I saw red eyes. They were watching me intently, I couldn’t see the frame though. Could it be a cat? I tried to take a whiff of the scent but there was none. I backed away slowly all while keeping my gaze on the red-eyed creature. I bumped into someone and stumbled but my body didn’t reach the ground as strong arms caught me. I looked at the face of my rescuer.
Our eyes made contact.
“Hi there,” The man said with a smile, I nodded and stood straight to face him.
“Hi… Hi,” I quirked and he smirked. The man was hot and confident, from the aura he exuded, I knew he was an Alpha, a werewolf Alpha. My eyes quickly glanced at the red ones that were watching me but they were gone.
“Hello, Luna,” The Alpha in front of me greeted me.
“I’m Michael, we haven’t been introduced,” I shook his hand but he grabbed hold of it, and led me toward the manor,
“You shouldn’t stray far from the house, these kinds of occasions turn out to be quite dangerous as many have access to the pack,” He said.
“I just needed some air,”
“You look sad, Luna, are you alright?” He asked, looking at me as though he saw right through my soul and I fidgeted with my fingers.
“I’m fine, Alpha,” I gave him a small smile and turned to walk away but he grabbed my hand. My body felt hot and my breath quivered a little as he exuded his Alpha aura.
A loud growl suddenly erupted and I didn’t have to turn to find out who it belonged to.
Alpha Edward.
He was looking at us as if he wanted to commit murder. As always. His fist was clenched and his chest was rising and falling, I’m ashamed to say I found him devastatingly handsome. I tried to move away from Alpha Michael by instinct but he held my arm, the Alpha was calm, staring at my cruel mate.
“Alpha Michael,” He sneered in an icy tone. Alpha Edward grabbed my waist, and pulled me closer to him, making tingles erupt on my skin.
“Alpha Edward, I was talking to your Luna,” He said gently, his eyes lingering on me a while longer and making my mate growl again.
