I hugged myself and took a few short deep breaths, as Lucian left to shower. My nipples were incredibly sensitive, I was fuming and turned on all at the same time!
Only someone like Lucian could do both, making me angry and horny at the same time. I got dressed and was contemplating what to do with myself when he emerged from the shower shirtless and wearing a pair of pyjama pants. Darn it! I thought."Well, are you ready yet?" He asked casually while I tried not to stare drool or lunge at him. "I am ready," I replied.He stared at me for a few seconds, then strode towards me."You are going to drive all the males crazy down there, you reek of arousal." He said, with a taut face. "I..... I can't help it," I mumbled incoherently."Yes, you can, but you are stubborn," he replied, then ran his hand through his hair. He smelled wonderful, musky with a hint of mint. His wet hair was falling on his foreheaRelated chapters
His reluctant Luna Chapter 19 - Old memories
Alice (POV) - We moved slowly to a table in the middle of the wall at the other end of the hall, those we passed all bowed their heads. I noticed that after we had gone by, most of them raised their noses and scented the air. Realizing everyone we walked past knew what Lucian and I had just done upstairs was embarrassing. I was blushing deeply by the time we reached our table.The conversation at our table was pleasant. I was seated with Katherine and Savannah; several other girls and ladies were sitting with me alongside the long table.The dinner was terrific, steaks, roasted chicken, vegetables, pasta, salads, literally everything one could wish for, and I consumed them with gusto.Lucian was busy talking to some other people on the other side of the room, so I was quite on my own. Except for the fact that I was being interrogated by curious girls. The one sitting opposite me was barely 18, and she was staring at me with awe. As if I wa
His reluctant Luna Chapter 20 - The challenge
Alice's POV - I felt Lucian's presence behind me as soon as Eliza had spoken up. I admit I was glad he was there. Lena, my wolf was suddenly on the edge, and Eliza's questions did not make things easier. Somehow, I was never comfortable talking about dad's death. The people in my pack knew it, but here it was a different ball game. People were going to ask a question."Sorry to interrupt, but your Luna is now tired. So, it's time we break the party."Lucian announced as he placed his hand on my shoulder, gesturing me to leave. Though I enjoyed the dinner, I was glad to leave. My eyes were drooping. I did not realize I was tired. I was ushered back into the Alpha quarters soon after."You were great! " Lucian said while smiling at me."I enjoyed it too," I beamed, which was a genuine answer."Did you meet vampires in Europe?" He asked while sitting on the couch and pulling me next to him.I laughed."Aunt Flora has many fr
His reluctant Luna Chapter 21 - Secrets
Lucian kept his promise, and we did nothing. Rather, I dozed off soon after I landed on the bed, my exhaustion finally caught up. I woke with a start at about 8 am. The spot beside me on the bed was empty. The dishevelled state of the bed and the sheets stated that he had left the bed recently. I felt quite lonely and disappointed as if I was expecting him to wake me up.The bathroom door suddenly opened, and Lucian stepped out showered and shaved, a towel tied low, very low on his waist. I had seen him semi-naked before, but it was always intimidating to see his perfectly sculpted body.He smirked with the like-what-you-see look, and I realized I was gawking. I turned away, averting my eyes. He talked while he got ready."I have things to take care of today, love," Lucian said, throwing the towel away casually, giving me a glorious view of his bum.I turned a deeper shade of red, even though I am a werewolf and used to male nudity.He dressed in crisp shirt and
His reluctant Luna Chapter 22 - Date
Lucian walked into the study/library, whatever it was while I clutched the edge of the table behind me with both my hands. I was scared as hell! He was talking to someone on the phone and ignored me. I waited quietly leaning on the table, afraid to move. He slipped the phone into the inner pocket of his jacket. Then put two fingers under my chin and tilted my face until I met his eyes. He leaned forward and kissed my mouth. It was not an unfamiliar gesture to me; we had done more than kissing. However, something was demanding in the way he kissed. I tried to relax, tried to kiss him back, though I was trembling. He stopped abruptly."I could hear your heartbeat at the entrance. You are scared."I was uncertain if it was a question or a statement. I licked my lips."I am not scared; I was just startled."He arched a brow."Startled! Why so? Were you expecting someone else?" He gave a sly smile.I was certain he would be angry and probably kill me i
His reluctant Luna Chapter 23 - Danger near home
Alice (POV) -"I need to tell you something," I said, looking into his green depths."Sure, tell me, love, what is it?"I took a deep breath and braced myself.His phone buzzed suddenly. His eyes rolled down to its flickering screen. Then turned up at me."I am sorry, love, but I need to take this call." He said, looking at me apologetically.I nodded, leaving his hand."Yes, Damon," he spoke into the phone.His brows furrowed. He pinched the bridge of his nose as if dissipating the tension."Apprehend their families, and send out the trackers," he said.I had no idea what he was talking about but, I could make out, he was not pleased. He cut the call, then looked at me."Sorry about that, but we'll have to return. Something has come up, back in the pack." He said tersely."Everything alright?" I asked though it was obvious that was not the case.He looked down at his intertwined fingers for a few minutes, then look
His reluctant Luna Chapter 24 - Comforting the mate
Alice -I awoke to the chirping of birds on the windowsill. I checked my watch instantly. It was 5 am, still quite early. I turned my head towards the lovely sound, usually, the windows remained closed for security reasons. I wondered who opened it."Good morning, dear," Lucian's voice called out from across the room.Startled slightly, I turned towards the source of his voice, instinctively pulling the sheets over my body as I caught sight of him. He disengaged himself from the chair near the fire, looking extremely stiff and haggard. He sat down near the bed and smoothed out the bed covers before him. He looked very exhausted, with dark circles under his eyes."Are you ok?" I asked, concerned.He reached out to rub my foot through the sheets. He wanted comfort; I could sense that. Wolves like to touch each other when they are stressed."You look like, hell! What happened?"He ran his hand through his hair, "I didn't get to sleep last nig
His reluctant Luna Chapter 25 - Dont challenge the mate bond
Katherine and Savannah watched in horror as I prepared to fight Eliza for the challenge."Why are you doing this, Eliza?" She asked."I am the best and strongest female of this pack. Even Alpha Lucian acknowledged that. What is the harm in challenging the Luna? It's fair." She shrugged."Are you stupid? You are challenging the mate bond! You cannot take a mate's place through some challenge, stop it immediately! Alpha Lucian will not be happy." Katherine warned.She was right, but Eliza looked determined. I could smell the jealousy from her. This was the perfect opportunity to step away from the mate bond. Lucian already had an interested candidate.I could just walk away, or lose the challenge? But I could not do that. I was not in control anymore... Lana was.I posed, ready to attack. Without further ado, I burst out of my clothes, shifting into a brown wolf.There were yelps and gasps around me. They were seeing Luna's true form for the first time
His reluctant Luna Chapter 26 - Confusion
"Fat chance! Mr Blake," I quipped."A man can always try," he shrugged.I laughed," why don't you go back to bed and catch up on your sleep. Meanwhile, I will keep myself busy duelling with your jealous Exes?""I don't have that many Exes, at least not in this pack. After Eliza, I swore off dating anyone from my pack. Didn't want any bad vibes.""Thank God for the small mercies," I muttered."Now come on, go back to sleep, "I placed my hand on his chest and pushed him towards his bedroom. It was like pushing on a wall of muscles.He laughed and held my wrists, pulling me towards him. As a result, I tripped and fell towards him. Colliding with his chest.My breathing stopped as I looked up into his green depths. I suddenly realized that he was half-naked, and I was dressed in just a robe."You look extremely hot and irresistible in a robe." He whispered in my ears."The way you say it, it sounds very erotic," I said, raising my eyebrows.It w

His reluctant Luna Chapter 45 - Epilogue
Six years later - Alice ********************** Emma and I were sitting outside in the garden watching our little ones tussle. We often visited each other. "How you keep up with the three of them, I'll never know. I'm having a hard enough time with Arya." She said. "It's difficult sometimes, but it's also fun," I said looking at my 6-year-old Aiden and 2 -year-old twins. Rose and Leo. It was a pleasant surprise when I discovered I was carrying twins, few years after we had Aiden. The kids looked up at us and yelped, they were cute little pups. Both Aiden and Rose had inherited Lucian's green eyes and dark hair. Leo was more like me with his hazel eyes and brown hair. Arya had caught Aiden by the ear while Rose and Leo tussled in the mud. "Aiden, sweetie, Mama's not going to come to your rescue every time the girls pick on you." I laughed. "I can't believe he lets her get away with that. He outweighs her by quite a bit." Emma said. "He is a little gentleman, he just plays along"
His reluctant Luna Chapter 44 - Good end of things
AliceAs I walked towards the circle to join the pack, our guests, and friends. I couldn't help admiring the decor, the fairy lights and the most tempting smell of roasted meat. Katherine had outdone herself. The entire circle had been decorated with twinkle lights and colourful roses. There was soft music being played by a live band. It sounded old and enchanting. The guests were all smiling and joking. Lucian joined me soon, and I found myself in his arms. He smiled at me intensely, then kissed me. His tongue ran over my lips and I opened her mouth to let him taste her. My hands danced his shirt buttons, I wished I were back in our room."I wish the same, dear," he said, giving a sly smile."Maybe later," I winked at him."Mate!" A shout broke the magic, and we looked at the commotion.Eliza was clinging to Max, who looked dazed."I found my mate, hi, I am Eliza and I like you." She flushed while talking to Max."You like me? But you are so beautiful, you are way out of my league."
His reluctant Luna Chapter 43 - New dreams
AliceI knew about Doppler monitors, which are used to hear the fetal heartbeat. The idea both thrilled and terrified me."Just lie back," Dr Armand said, lifting my gown to reveal my bare belly. He squirted some liquid on my skin. "Just a bit of gel. It'll help pick up the sound."A crackling sound like an old transistor radio broke out in the room. Lucian looked at me, bewildered."We'll hear the baby's heartbeat?" I asked.The doctor nodded, moving the instrument over my stomach."The heart forms and starts beating from a very early stage."More static came from the small speaker the doctor held in his hand. A rapid, watery sound rang out, like waves at the beach on fast-forward.Whoosh whoosh whoosh.A smile spread across Dr Armand's face. "There's your baby."I held my breath. Whoosh whoosh whoosh.Lucian's face was like a mask. I had never seen him so shocked and happy, both at the same time. The miracle of the moment began to sink in. We had created a life. The baby we had creat
His reluctant Luna Chapter 42 - Stuart meets his fate
Alice *************'Alice, I love you, babe. Now listen carefully. When I say run, just run !' Lucian spoke in my mind.'But Max...''We'll save him too, don't worry. They don't know we are here as the wind is in another direction, but they will soon know. So just do as I say, babe, please.''I will dear.' I replied.Jordan gave me a suspicious look, I ignored him and kept my head down. I wasn't certain if I could shift, pregnant wolves can't. But my wolf assured me that she could take over anytime.'Run' Lucian said in my mind. My wolf took over. Breaking the restraints, I ran into the forest. The sound of gunshots rang through the forest. I looked up to see Lucian's choppers hovering over the trees. They were shooting at Stuart and his men. I stopped running, Max could get caught in the crossfire. I returned towards the group I had just escaped.**********************Lucian -I felt Alice's pain run through me, the rest of the pack felt the same. I immediately turned and started
His reluctant Luna Chapter 41 - Escape
Olivia -I woke up screaming from the nightmare I just had."Olivia! Are you alright?" Zaiden was holding my shaking body."I saw her...... I saw Madam Luna, she was in a cave, not a lab. Take me to the Alpha, please." I pleaded. The vision was so vivid. It was almost like I was there."Sure, get dressed." He threw me a pair of a tracksuit.It was late night or early morning. Whatever one might refer to 3 am when we reached the Alpha's office. The hustle and bustle of betas and the trackers ascertained the fact that nobody had slept for hours. Alpha was trying everything possible to trace Alice. The row of SUVs in the driveway ensured that they were either going or returning from a raid."I must talk to the Alpha now! " I pleaded to the guard standing at the door."Alpha is busy in a meeting, you can't see him now." He replied gruffly."I must see him, I had a vision. I saw Madam Luna."Before the guard could react. The door burst open."You had a vision of Alice? What did you see?" A
His reluctant Luna Chapter 40 - A silver lining
I tried to keep my eyes open, as Stuart droned on and on about his scientific advancements. I had lost track of what he had been rambling long back, but just nodded and smiled at certain intervals to look interested.'Come on, Lucian,' I said into the void."So, these human women failed to get pregnant, it's not because my experiment failed. They were just weak. Weak and useless. Even my army of men was not the breakthrough I had been hoping for. So, I started seeking alternatives. The best approach was to go natural. Create my hybrid children. " He crossed his legs and folded his hands, placing his chin on his knuckles."So, that's why you attacked the mated Alpha females?""Yeah, lost quite a few of my men. I don't care about them, though. They were lab rats.....totally disposable." He shrugged."And I am your next big experiment?" I was feeling squeamish."You are special, Alice." I winced, my name rolling off his tongue made me sick."I am sorry, I need to use the bathroom." I su
His reluctant Luna Chapter 39 - In captivity
Lucian 'This is crazy! I should have never listened to her.' I chided myself, but it was of no use. She was gone. "Alpha, we lost the chopper," Damon said somberly. I could feel my nails digging into my palms, I was gripping my hands so tightly. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. "Do whatever you can. Follow all the clues and find her." I managed to mutter. "Alpha, we have a request." I raised my head to find Kyle and the guards bowing their heads in submission. My wolf growled. He wanted to rip their heads off, for failing to protect my mate. "What is it?" I asked impatiently. "We....we....don't deserve to live. Please forfeit our lives." Kyle fumbled.I wanted to do that, but these were some of the best betas and warriors. Killing them now would achieve nothing."I don't have time for dramatics. Get out!""Alpha..." They whimpered."GET OUT! " I yelled, that sent them running out of my office.My wolf went into a rage and destroyed the table in seconds. I then went

Olivia I was heading for the trees before I realized what was happening. 'No, turn back,' I thought to myself, and then realized I wasn't in charge. The wolf was in charge.My wolf was showing herself. I could feel her stretching out as I ran. Trees sped by me in a blur, and I sucked in a lung-full of fresh air. I felt powerful.The rational human part of me still panicked and tried to get through to the wolf. I ran for miles, trying to check out my territory.I looked down at my feet, and they were still human, with a small spattering of white wolf fur. I had claws on my hands, but they still looked mostly human. It struck me that I was partially shifted into the hybrid wolf woman. And it felt great. I couldn't wait to turn fully.'Olivia,' Zaiden's voice boomed in my head. My mate was close on my heels, and suddenly, I was overwhelmed by an intense desire. He was supposed to claim me. Why was he late?Without further delay, my face started to change, and a snout started to grow. It

Alice -"How long is she going to be out?" Zaiden asked anxiously.We had all settled down to eat when he had appeared carrying Olivia. She seemed to be sleeping blissfully, a contented smile adorned her face."She is changing. She will wake up in a few days. How long did rain sleep when you had turned her ?" I asked Damon."A week," he sighed. "Though later I came to know she had woken up hours ago, but she was just enjoying the attention, hence pretended to be asleep."I stifled a laugh while Rain gave him a look."What was I supposed to do, you bit me so hard !" She retorted.I shook my head at their banter."She will wake up in about 24 hours. Might be quicker, as she is genetically tampered already." Lucian said while checking on Olivia."Too bad she'll miss the celebrations," Rain said sympathetically."Is she ok? Did I bite too hard? She will wake up, right?" Zaiden asked anxiously."Don't worry, you did well. You can return to the packhouse if you wish. Keep her comfortable. I
