CHAPTER TWO

ANNA'S POV

"Do you like that very much?"

He asked as his hand cupped one of my breasts. I moaned a small affirmation.

"Where would you have me bury my fingers?"

He demanded, this time a bit more roughly.

I grabbed his hand.

"Just touch me, damn it!"

I cried desperately. He did, his hand traveled down my tummy, down to the folds of my vagina.

His palms splayed across my opening for a while before I felt his finger slip into me.

It was a new form of brazen desire that I felt as his finger started to move slowly inside of me, his thumb occasionally flicking at my clit. 

He was dexterous.

He awakened the slut in me and I could not hold back the loud moans that rolled from my mouth, filling the room. 

"Have you been made love to like this before?"

He asked roughly, his voice was hoarse, almost ominous to my ears.

I was not thinking straight, my hand went to my vagina where his fingers had stopped moving.

"Ahh, don't stop."

I said in a desperate plea, but he did not continue.

He was deliberately torturing me.

"Please."

"Then answer me."

He insisted. I did, nodding my head vigorously.

"Fuck, yes! Just ..."

I did not get the last word out when his fingers withdrew from me, in the next moment, he eased himself fully stop me, the tip of his cock pressing against the entrance of my vagina.

His lips covered mine in a slow sensual kiss and I felt him slowly slip into me, his manhood filling me up. My moans were loud against his lips.

I woke up lightheaded and unusually full of strength.

It had been one hell of a night of endless lovemaking. 

With a total stranger!

My heart missed two beats at a time.

It was the first time it had happened. There was an inexplicable attraction that I had felt for him and even as I scrambled about for my dress and purse in the room, one thing was certain.

He was my mate.

It was a blessed coincidence.

His scent hung thickly in the room.

I had met a Werewolf who saved me, had sex with him, and the next morning, I realized he was my mate. I recall how he had looked when he had appeared from the shadows.

I could never have said no to a Werewolf as regal and commanding as he was.

I stopped abruptly when the door of the bathroom came open and he stepped out.

He was everything that any woman would want and he was definitely what I wanted.

I was the one who had suffered the taunts and reproachful glares from members of my pack for years because I was an omega and neither did I have a mate.

I held my breath, murmuring a word of appreciation to the moon goddess who had a way of rescuing those who truly needed it.

"Good morning."

I greeted. My eyes were completely on him. It was hard to believe he had spent a night with me.

He had a towel wrapped around his waist, his torso beckoned on me, and I shook the thoughts off.

"You are looking for your dress."

He said. I nodded. He didn't have to ask. He knew I was off the bed.

He pointed at one end of the room and it was right there. I berated myself inwardly for not seeing it earlier while gripping the bedsheet that I had wrapped around me.

"Thank you,"

I said.

"Here."

He said, suddenly providing a bundle of cash that he dangled before me.

He was tall and handsome, with jet-black hair that was tied behind his neck and he was looming over me.

"I will let you have this. You did great for the night." 

He said. 

For the first time, my eyes went to his hand and I saw the signet ring he had on. Well then, he was royalty.

" Yes. It is funny how the moon goddess created an avenue to make us meet.... after all these years..."

I trailed off as tears started to well up in my eyes. Tears of gratitude. He snorted.

" You are going to have this money and go away."

He said.

The words did not make sense to me.

" No, as long as I have my purse, there is enough to take me home."

He seemed irritated.

" You must be dumb."

He said and then he tossed the bundle of cash at me. I stumbled back, stunned beyond my wits.

"I .." 

"Listen," he ordered coldly.

I looked up at him. "I want you to take that for the job of the night and get lost."

He said.

"I don't understand."

I said. He stepped closer and I stepped back in reflex.

"You are my mate. You have felt the mate pull towards me as I have for you, but I would rather not have a mate than have you. "

The words were not only humiliating, they were tearing at my insides and the tears of gratitude that had started to well in my eyes turned quickly turned to that of pain and humiliation. I had lived all my life as a lowly omega wolf only to meet my mate and get rejected outrightly.

I wanted to beg him and tell him that I had had too many troubles to last a lifetime and getting rejected was not one of the many dimensions of pain that I wanted to feel.

"I want you to take and make sure we never run into each other for any reason. I do not want a weak female for a mate and I want nothing with you."

" We are mates, The moon goddess will not make us that if we were not meant for each other."

I explained frantically.

" But I reject you, Anna. I will not have you for a mate and Luna no matter what the will of the moon goddess is! I do not want you!"

He turned and then continued to speak.

" Leave and don't ever come near the next time you see me if ever our paths cross."

The words stung.

The tears blurred my vision for as long as I stood there. 

I could not help wondering if he was the same Lycan who had rescued me from those who had nearly abducted me the previous night if he was the same Lycan who had brought me to his suite to have me cleaned up and even made love to me passionately all night long.

I left drying my tears.

I could smell what was waiting for me back at home.

I reached home and my aunt stopped me right at the door.

"Where are you coming from? Where did you spend the night?"

She demanded. There was no argument about what she would do if I had no sensible reason for sleeping out. She did not seem to notice that my eyes were red from crying, and my lips were swollen from being bitten severally to keep tears back.

"Katherine took me out to a club party last night to have fun for my birthday, I got drunk and she left me some time while I was still drunk. "

" That's a bloody lie."

I heard Katherine say.. she appeared from behind her mother, she had perhaps been listening in on us.

" I didn't take her anywhere, mom. I have no idea she went out to a club. "

Katherine said.

The hostility of the lie shocked me beyond words and I stood staring at them
