Chapter 6

Luciana POV

"Now, bitch you can finally get out of my way." With an expressionless face, I stood watching Ashley been tortured to death.

"Finally, there is relief in my heart." Even my wolf is at peace. One would think of me as a wicked friend. Wicked is even an understatement. If there is a quality much bigger than wicked, I'll gladly accept it.

"Hehehe, who cares about Ashley anyways?"

For the past two centuries, I've been a shadow his in her own shadow.

First off, she took Martains away from me, stole my position as the Luna and still stood in my way, preventing me from actualizing my dream.

"I thank the moon goddess for giving me such an innocent face. Nobody is ever going to blame me directly for anything with my looks on the outside."

I watched Ashley groaning in pain as the whip tore through her flesh. She was trying to endure on her own and had even blocked out her wolf from helping her.

Gradually, she lost it and her eyelids closed in utter surrender. She was gone! Gone forever.

I think history repeated itself as it reminds me of a powerful Luna just like Ashley who died mysteriously twenty years ago. The only difference is that Ashley's death cause is known and not mysterious.

"The Luna is gone."

"Ahh! What would our alpha do now? He needs a new mate and a competent Luna."

"But Luciana is pregnant for him, so..."

I heard gasps and whisperings come from the crowd that had gathered to watch the departure of Ashley.

"Of course, the Luna has to be me." I replied silently

I turned to look at Martains who was seated in the highest seat in the hall. His face was stern with no bit of emotion. He stood up and left the hall without saying a word.

I also left the hall to be catch up with Martains who was now walking away from the pack's house into the woods.

I had no idea what was running through his mind.

All I need to do is stabilize his mind, bring him to face reality and remind him of our child, the heir.

"Martains! Please wait up!" I yelled as he was walking too fast for me to keep up with.

He had actually sensed me coming but pretended not to notice.

He however slowed down now and I caught up with him, giving him a hug from behind.

He was a little startled as his body jerked in reaction to the sudden hug.

"I know it was a hard decision to make, but you did the right thing. You gave your order already and you can't change anything now because she is gone forever." I stressed the last line to make it sink deeply into his mind.

"I know, but I need a little space. The physical hurt of separating from ones destined  mate still lingers."

"Shhsh, she is no more your mate. You need someone by your side now and not even a little space. Your child in here is looking up to you." I rubbed my abdomen region, reminding him again of my pregnancy and his unborn child.

"You're the alpha. You should get over this quickly and stop sulking." Releasing my hands from his waist, I faced him directly.

The look in his eyes were new. It was as if there was a moment of ephiphany for him and he drew me into his embrace.

I could feel his breath on my neck. Gosh! His scent was killing me. He leaned in closer, placing a soft kiss on my neck.

My body shuddered in excitement. It was exactly what I needed.

His hand glided down my ass and gripped it firmly. He pulled off from the embrace, holding my face in his hands and pressed a kiss on lips.

It was gentle at first, but it became rough and intense.

I knew his wolf was trying to take over but he kept trying to control it well.

I responded to his kisses, pressing my lips harder on his. He grabbed my hips while his other hand strolled to my breast.

It didn't matter if we were outside. I want to do this over and over again to reassure my new position in his life.

I would do whatever it takes to please him just to make sure he never takes his eyes off me.

It was going to be a pleasurable night. Loud moans escaped my mouth as he kept hitting me hard. He knows just exactly where to hit with his hard member.

Panting hard, he drew out and kept kissing me passionately until we were exhausted.

We walked back to  his room hand in hand silently.

"Good night." He said before jumping on the bed like a tied soul. He soon slept off.

I laid on the bed beside him and watched him for a while.

"He doesn't have to know that I'm not pregnant at all. If he finds out now, my chances of becoming the Luna will be threatened because he is only considering me because of the child. I'll only tell him I had a miscarriage after he officially announces me as his choosen mate and new Luna." I said and got up to wash up

Who would find out anyways? Everything and everyone is under my control and grasp.
