Chapter Thirty-Seven – Her Surprise Gift

last update Last Updated: 2024-08-13 15:33:37

Leandros’s POV

I couldn’t help the restlessness in my heart as I led her from shop to shop, buying her everything she might need. Her words echoed in my head all the time. What was she about to tell me? Why did she stop?

I tried to get my mind off it but couldn’t. I had asked her four times already, but she just shrugged instead of admitting the truth. Why was she being so secretive? Was it the confession I was dying to hear?

I wanted to be sure about her feelings before confessing my own. What if she didn’t love me? I would look like an old fool confessing his love to a teenager.

At last, our shopping was over, and Lyra was on cloud nine.

“I’ve never bought so many things in my life at one go. Thank you, Leandros.” I smiled as I followed her out with the shopping bags like a lost puppy.

“Do you wish to change into one of these dresses?”

She clasped her hands, excited at the idea. “Yes, please. Wait, I’ll choose.”

I stood patiently while she chose a dress. It was a beautiful ivo

    Lyra’s POV The song ended, and I gasped at the sight of Leandros giving me a standing ovation. It made my heart fill with satisfaction. I was sure he loved the song I composed and sang for him. If fashion design hadn’t been my passion, I would surely have taken up music as my career.Leandros came forward, and I smiled at him shyly. Had I confessed too much? Did he understand what he meant to me? Did he feel my love for him? He enveloped me in his warm embrace without a word! Even amidst the loud applause all around me, I could feel his heart thumping wildly in his chest. Was it because of me? “I’m touched, Lyra. I’m deeply touched. Thank you for the wonderful gift. Did you compose it?”“Yes,” I whispered breathlessly.His mouth brushed against my forehead and I wondered if he kissed me there. He released me and led me to our table. I couldn’t meet his probing gaze. It was a different thing to sing from a distance, but now, seated across from him, I felt conscious of myself. The

    Lyra’s POV Lena parked her car, and we bundled out on the sprawling compounds of the packhouse. Being with the Luna of the pack had its advantages. Everyone treated us with respect. Lena and Hazel introduced me to everyone as Leandros’s fated mate. Hazel’s aunt, Cassie, and her sister, Carla, planned a formal welcome for me. I blushed at all the attention I received. Lena’s mom, Syble, the daughter of the Moon Goddess, blessed me, inviting me to her popular diner, The Hungry Wolf.Carla, the packhouse kitchen supervisor, served us a delicious lunch. Orion Grenier, the pack’s spy and his friend, Michael, joined us for lunch, and Hazel introduced me to them as Leandros’s mate.“So, are you liking it here in Lucania?” asked Michael. “Yes. It’s a lively place.” “How did your uncle give you permission to stay here?” he asked, and I smiled, not elaborating further.The dinner was so good I ended up overeating.“Gosh! I’m so full, I can’t move an inch.” They chuckled knowingly since thei

    Leandros’s POV I tried my best to keep myself calm around Lyra. She was young, and I didn’t want to scare her with my short temper. Hazel lectured me a lot the next day at my office. She stormed in unannounced and made me realize my mistake. “Scale it down, bro. She can’t deal with your temper. Don’t forget, she’s nine years younger than you.” “I’ve got it. I promise I won’t lose my shit again. But it wasn’t entirely my fault. Michael shouldn’t have incited me.” She got up to leave. “Yes, he has apologized for pulling your legs.” I sighed with relief, the matter forgotten. After last evening, Lyra had stopped freely interacting with me. I didn’t like the apprehensive look on her face ever since I erupted. Hazel was right. She was too young to deal with me. I swore to make it up to her in the evening. I kept postponing the urge to call her throughout the day. I didn’t want to portray a creepy picture of myself. It was evening when we concluded the meeting and wrapped up for the da

    Lyra’s POV After dinner, I dreaded going to the bedroom, knowing Leandros would want his kiss. This time, I was adamant. He just couldn’t expect me to kiss him all the time. What about my needs? Even I needed a kiss from him? I was almost eighteen. Yet I hadn’t received my first kiss from my mate. What was the big deal about turning eighteen? I hated his backdated principles. No one was here to judge him if he kissed me now. I refused to give in to his demand this time. If he needed a kiss, he would have to kiss me first. I helped Lena wrap up the cleaning up.“Thanks for your help, Lyra. I wouldn’t have managed so much without the two of you. I hope Zephyrus rescues Hera soon and returns home fast. I’m exhausted.” “Any news so far about Hera?” She shook her head. “They might have just reached Aromania. I’ll call him tomorrow.” She trudged over to her bedroom while I braced myself to face my mate. I had expected him to come here and create a scene, but strangely, he hadn’t. It w

    Leandros’s POV For the next four days, we took it up as a challenge to persuade one other. While I wanted her to give in and kiss me, Lyra wanted me to take her out. With both of us obstinate, none of us gave in. Therefore, the situation was hostile at home. While I came over to my office, Lyra spent her time at Lena’s school helping her. The inauguration of the learning center excited her, but sadly, there were no courses suitable for her. She was adamant about pursuing a degree in fashion design and nothing else. It was a hopeless situation as the best colleges for Fashion Design were outside the state of the Northern Territories and in Ontario. I couldn’t let her go so far away from me. Zephyrus called to inform me they had rescued Hera, and she was recuperating. Once she was better, Felixe would take her home to Yellowknife. It was a relief indeed, and I waited for Zephyrus’s arrival from Aromania. It was evening, and I had wrapped my work for the day when my phone buzzed with

    Leandros’s POV The next day, I waited all day for Zephyrus’s call. His phone was unreachable and there was no way I could know why he had called me last night. Maybe he was on his way home. I couldn’t meet Lyra too before leaving for work. After the kiss we shared last night, she had been hiding in her room. Therefore, I couldn’t tell her I was planning to take her out tonight. I called her at lunchtime, but she avoided taking my call. It was frustrating to know she was avoiding me. I would have to normalize the situation between us tonight. However, a call from Stavros in the evening ruined my plans with Lyra. “Come over to the packhouse right now. Zeph just arrived. It’s urgent.” I frowned with worry, a feeling of dread spreading over me. What could the urgency be? Why did Zephyrus call me so many times last night?I dropped my plans with Lyra and drove over to the packhouse. It was good that I didn’t inform Lyra about my plans or she would have been upset. Parking my car, I r

    Lyra’s POV My heart thumped wildly with excitement as I reached the closet. I had always wanted to see the place where my mate had grown up. I wanted to meet his first crush, his aunt, who had brought him up. Now that wish would come true. It would be my first trip outside my country to a foreign land. “Stop, Lyra. You can’t accompany me.” Leandros’s desperate plea brought me out of my excitement. I turned to see the torn look on his face. “Why not? I have my passport. I can ask Uncle Felixe to send me my bank card to withdraw money. There’s a lot of money in my account.” “It’s not about money or documents. Uncle Georgios, the king of Aromania, is unwell and I’m going to see him. This isn’t a joyous occasion for you to visit them. Please, Lyra, try to understand the situation. I’ll take you when he recuperates.”“My presence won’t hamper his treatment in any way, Leandros. I’ll take care of him too. Don’t leave me here and go away. I hate being alone.” My heart twisted in pain at

    Leandros’s POV I reached the kingdom of Argyros after almost twenty-four hours. I didn’t want to involve my folks in Aromania. What if King Iliad declared war on them? It was better to talk to him first. Nestled in northwestern Greece, in the Zagori region of the Pindus Mountains, the kingdom of Argyros was inhabited by the Argus Howlers. Dimitra’s family had ruled them for years, but the situation was bleak now.This was the only generation where, in the absence of a male Alpha heir, the Alpha king was in a dilemma. Princess Dimitra was a weak heir with no interest in ruling her pack. As such, her father was forced to resort to unfair means to get her mated to an able alpha male who wouldn’t take advantage of her situation. Having known me since childhood, the Alpha king trusted only me with his daughter. It was understandable since I belonged to an alpha lineage, too. My mom was the daughter of the alpha of our neighboring pack when she eloped with my father.The car brought me fr

    Lyra’s POV “Hospital? What happened to Uncle Felixe?” My heart sank as I dreaded his reply. “When he returned from work to see you gone, he wanted to fetch you from Lucania. We stopped him, but he paid no heed to us. At midnight he went to the airport informing no one. Only when we received a phone call from the traffic police, we knew he had met with an accident on the way.” I gasped in horror, clutching Leandros’s hand. “Accident? Why didn’t you inform me? Was he critical? How is he, Uncle Derrick?” Tears streamed down my cheeks as I stuttered with guilt. No wonder he didn’t call me. How could I be so selfish? How did I not understand the consequences of my actions? “He was critical, but miraculously, it was just some broken bones and whiplash. He’s undergoing rigorous therapy every day. Today Hera has taken him to the hospital for a checkup. Please come inside. They should be here any minute.” Guilt ate me up, and I dreaded meeting them. It was because of me they had to go thro

    Lyra’s POV I followed him outside to see a brand-new stunning blue Ford pickup truck on our snow-covered driveway. A gasp escaped my lips. “For you,” said Leandros, handing me the keys. “Wow! I can’t believe it, Leandros. Thank you for buying me my first car!” I had been driving my uncle’s cars or hitching a ride all my life. Now, I had a car of my own. “Oh! I’m honored to be the first and only one to buy you a car.” He opened the door and showed me the interiors. The triplets too came out to check. “Will you now come to school every day to pick us up, Mom?” asked Lucius. I smiled and nodded at them. “We’ll head to Hungry Wolf tomorrow after school.” “Yay! Can we have pizza, please?” asked Liana. “Yes, please. We’ve never eaten out,” said Lazarus. I looked at Leandros, seeking permission to take them out. Maybe he didn’t want them to eat out. “Sure, go ahead. I might join you too,” said Leandros with a chuckle. Throughout dinner, the pups couldn’t control their excitement. Hu

    Lyra’s POV The next morning, I got sucked into the mad rush of the morning. Getting the triplets ready for school was no mean task. Leandros helped me in every way he could, and finally, all five of us were ready to go out. “Mom, are you coming to school too?” asked Lazarus, watching me from the back seat. “No, Lazer. I’ll just drop you off at school and go to the marketplace with your dad.” Lazarus preferred the nickname and calling him Lazer was a sure-shot way to please him. “Why, Mom? Are you planning to join Dad’s company?” asked Lucius. “No, son. Your mom is planning to start her own business, her own fashion house,” answered Leandros on my behalf. The boys gave me jaw-dropped looks. “What’s a fashion house?” asked Lazarus while Liana rolled her eyes at him. “Don’t you know what a fashion house is? I swear you’re dumb. It’s a shop full of clothes. Mom wants to make clothes for all of us in Lucania,” she explained, and I smiled at her simple explanation. “Yes, you’re righ

    Lyra’s POV He slid down my body, licking every curve as he traveled down my stomach. A gasp escaped my lips, wondering what he was planning to do. Breathless with excitement, I raised myself up on my elbows to see what he’d do next. This was a novel experience for me and my body went into overdrive at his slightest touch. He chuckled to see my reaction as he moved his mouth lower. “What are you doing, Leandros?” I didn’t need to wait for an answer. A deep moan escaped my mouth when he buried his face between my thighs and licked my p*ssy. I fell back on the bed as my head spun with pleasure. His mouth was too much to handle, and it sent erotic tingles all over my body. “Oh! Don’t stop! Please!” I gripped his hair to push him closer, wanting him to give me my first release. His tongue was relentless, licking and stroking my cl*t until I was on the verge of a release. The powerful thrusts of his tongue intensified, and I could feel the pressure slowly build up inside me. I ground my

    Leandros’s POV It was a lazy Sunday, and we spent it in fishing and skiing with the triplets. Lyra packed up enough food to have a picnic by the frozen lake in our backyard. The pups enjoyed a sunny day outdoors until they were exhausted. It was something they had never done in the last four years, as Sunday meant pack meetings for me. Therefore, it was a relief that Zeph had wrapped up all meetings on Saturday. It left me free to enjoy with my family. Lyra’s laughter and exuberance were so infectious that the pups and I caught on by the end of the day. The result of our fun-filled outing was amazing. The pups bonded with Lyra so well that they started addressing her mom. My mind was now at peace seeing my pups find their mom in Lyra. She deserved it for everything she did for the pups ever since she moved in. She had no anger or resentment for having to look after the triplets. Although it was a monumental task, she did it spontaneously, with a smile on her face. Taking care of the

    Lyra’s POV Growling in his throat, my mate’s hot, wet mouth covered the mark, licking and sucking wildly. It set my body on fire, as moisture leaked from my p*ssy, soaking my panties. I cried out as he tortured me with his wicked mouth, stroke after stroke. Arching against him, I ground my hips against his thick erection! The mark was like an external erogenous zone! I sucked in a deep breath and pushed at his chest. “My turn now!” I muttered, controlling the urge to take off my clothes and ride him like there was no tomorrow. I pushed him down on the bed while he watched me with an amused look on his face. “Are you planning to really mark me, little mate?” The annoying nickname urged me to prove him wrong. I had to prove I wasn’t little anymore. Yes, I was inexperienced, but definitely I wasn’t a little wolf. “It’s time to prove I’m not little anymore!” I lay between his legs and reached out to his neck. His breath hitched as he gazed at me with delirious eyes! “Interesting! I’m

    Lyra’s POV Before I could get up, he crashed his mouth to mine, sitting on the sofa and pulling me onto his lap. It was the kiss I had been dying for since the fleeting kiss he gave me on Hera’s birthday. I had no idea what had stopped him from kissing me last night, but I was glad he overcame all his inhibitions. He clasped the back of my head, holding me still while his tongue worked on my lips. I wrapped my arms around his neck and melted against his body, sinking into his warm embrace. His mouth was hard, hot, and possessive as it plundered my secret recesses, plunging deep into my parted mouth. I sighed, surrendering to him. His scent was driving me insane. The kiss was enough to make me want him to the point of no return. Then all I could do was contemplate shoving him down on the sofa, pulling his pants down, and riding him until we both climaxed! I pulled him closer and kissed him back, running my hands around his broad back to feel the muscles rippling under my touch. I ha

    Leandros’s POV A soft pat on my cheek woke me up from the best sleep of my life. I opened my eyes only to find Liana hovering over me. “Wake up Dad! We’re late for school!” I sat up with a start and looked out of the window. The bright morning sun made me blink with panic. How did I sleep so late? “Gosh, Liana! How will we ever get ready today?” I jumped out of bed and then I remembered Lyra. Where was she? Hadn’t she slept with me last night? I remembered confessing everything to her. She promised to stay with me forever! Was it all a dream? Or did she leave me again? Maybe she had second thoughts this morning and left before I woke up. “Dad, what are you thinking about? You need to get us ready!” prodded Liana with a groan. I quickly freshened up and rushed out to the kitchen. To my immense surprise, I found the boys in the breakfast nook in the kitchen, tucking into eggs, bacon, and toast! Liana was busy scolding them for not getting ready yet while they turned a deaf ear to he

    Lyra’s POV He released a staggering breath and got up as if dismissing me. After knowing everything about him, didn’t he realize I was here to stay? I wouldn’t go anywhere now. “I’m sorry you had to go through so much, Leandros! Why didn’t you correct me before?” I didn’t budge from his bed. I intended to stay here in his house and share his bedroom with him. After his confession, there wasn’t a doubt about what I wanted to do. I would surrender myself to my mate for life. “I was mentally disturbed after the abuse. I wasn’t sure you would want such an abused mate. You didn’t deserve a mate like me. Your uncle hated me and pushed me away from you. I went into a severe depression, but thankfully my close friends stood by me. The pups depended on me and I bounced back only for them. You wanted to know the truth, and I bared my soul in front of you. I would understand if you don’t want to be with me. I swear I won’t bear a grudge. You’re free to move on, Lyra.” With his back to me, he
