My eyes moved to him when I heard that sound but his eyes were shut. Yet his hand moves caressing my bare back. I wanted to yell at him as I remembered that he had starved me of his body last night when I was burning with needs, hitting his face to stop him from touching me or waking that desire in me again, I have no idea if that stupid wine had gone out of my system. But why are his eyes still closed when he is touching me this way? "Whoa! This loony is faking sleep as well.' Only the goddess knows how much I want to pull away from him and slap my hand on his perfectly arranged jawbone on his handsome face but my stubbornness didn't let me, I was enjoying everything and how his hand worked on my body, I felt motionless, with my hands and legs paralyzed with the things he does to me. My entire being likes the way he touches me with his strong muscular arms wrapped around me. His sensational touch on my body awakened the monster inside of me, and that is making me want him desperatel
My lips parted, yet no word came out. Do I even know what to say? I said mentally. I don't know what to do but he should at least admit it, just admitting it maybe that is all I wanted. Or maybe, I could let myself do it for real. Why don't we just do it for real? I noticed his stare became different when I had the last part of my thoughts but his face went back to being indifferent and his aura darkened. He took a step back then I remembered he could read my thoughts, maybe he had read my thoughts. "Listen, Fiona..." He takes a deep breath and swallows hard as if he has lumped in his throat. "Asking that is not something that you want to hear because if I do, my answer will cause more harm than good, so we should forget it, go get dressed, I will bring you back to your pack." "Why do you think, it will do me more harm? Don't you like my body?" His eyes run around my body, and he shakes his head and pins his lips together. "You don't like my body?" "Fiona, stop making it hard for me
My question left him confused and he looked at me in frustration, slowly he let go of my hand and sat. "I don't know, I see others do it, wolves having a human mate, they live happily with each other but I don't have an idea about me, because anytime I come close to you, I can't control something in me." "Is it your wolf? He doesn't like me?" He laughed dryly. My gaze didn't leave him, I couldn't see anything funny, if it was not his wolf and I knew he wanted me as much as I wanted him, then what was stopping him? "I don't know what is stopping me." He answered me without me saying a word, he read my thoughts again, how did he manage to do it? "Fiona, I don't know, all I know is that I could read your thoughts, and the last two nights I have made you fall asleep and please don't ask me how because I don't know." He runs his hand through his hair, I have never seen him this frustrated, he seems to always have control over everything around thing, his thoughts, wars, the economy, and
"Leonid!" Stefan called expressionless, his aura was darkened. "To what do I own this invasion?" 'Where is Fiona?" Leonid ignores Stefan's question, I look at him, but I am standing right in front of him, why can't he see me? I don't understand, Stefan moves his gaze and looks at me, he too is surprised, probably wondering how come, he can't see me, the look on Alpha Justin's face is one of surprise as well, it seems he too can see me. "Can't you talk? Where is Fiona?" "Leonid, I have no idea who you are looking for, but if you don't mind, I want to be an excuse," Stefan said, glaring at Leonid."Come on Stefan, you and I know that, it's only you that could keep my mate hostage." "Alpha Stefan." He corrected Leonid. Leonid balled his fist and glared at him, his eyes roamed the room but he couldn't find me. "Where did you keep her?" "Stop talking nonsense, what will I be doing with your mate? Your mate should be with you, if your mate went missing in a ball that she attended with
"Stefan!!!" "Yes, don't you want to see me here?" He asked as he walked slowly into the chamber, now I get the picture of Leonid's anger, he must have been informed that Stefan was back. "Of course, I want you here." I ran to him and hugged him, he moved his hand and covered my back with his strong arm. "You should go have your bath, your body reeks of some strange smell, covering those sweet scents of yours, that I want to drown myself every day." I brushed as I pulled from him, he was acting different from Stefan, I knew but I loved this new Stefan. "I will have my bath now," I said running into the washroom, the lady earlier had prepared the hot bath for me. I needed to soak myself in it, I can't believe that I had my last bath three days back. I am excited that Stefan is back and I am happy to have him back, I have no idea, if he still wants me to be his Luna, the truth is, whatever he wants to do right now, is none of my business, Stefan is all I wanted at this point. He was
Dad's face goes sour as he stares at the paper in his hand that contains the decision of the alpha, I have no idea what he wrote in there but I think it didn't go well with Father. The joy he had at first, had died off, rapidly.Maybe, I wasn't the one that Stefan picked as his Luna. I frown, I know he wasn't going to pick me but the truth is, I hope he did. "Go on, read the announcement." Uncle Bob urges my father, Uncle Bob, the old alpha's elder brother never loves my father, but just pretends all this time, to get closer to the late alpha, his younger brother. "The pack will have a new beta and a gamma." Everyone roared, and some were indirectly mocking my father, while others sympathized with my father's pain, although dad has become so proud since he was chosen by the late alpha, he is still a good man. I felt bad for my father as he took the name of the new beta. "Beta Rex." Everyone applauded him, and the young man walked into the hall, he was also as handsome as Stefan, his
The light came up, only for me to come face to face with Leonid. Father, what is this? "Daughter, you know I love you, I want you to be happy, and I have watched you wish that the moon goddess grant you a mate, one that loves you, one that treats you equally, one that, could never hurt you, when I find out that, prince Leonid is your mate, I was happy that your wish can finally be granted by the moon goddess, I know prince Leonid will treat you right and give you all the love that, you ever wish for, you could get it, if prince Leonid claimed you." "Father, did you know that alpha Stefan had made me his Luna and it will abomination for me to be claimed by just anybody, when...""Fiona, did you just refer to me as anybody?" Leonid said I pinned my lips together, and he moved closer to me and pulled my hand. "Fiona, don't you want to be my mate anymore, you and I could be good leaders if only you let your dad conduct the ritual of our mating, the mating ceremony would make us one, and
"Stefan..." I called him trying to take his hand, but he withdrew his hand and glared at me, I signed and turned my gaze to Leonid that is grinning. "You can go be with him, it's all a mistake, Hazel was right..." Stefan's words hurt, I hit his face, and I ran to the door, Leonid held my hand trying to stop me, Stefan took one last look at me and Leonid's hand on mine, and he pulled the doorknob. "Let me go, Leonid, I am sorry but I can't be with you, As the Luna of the Shadow Moon Pack, I, Fiona Oliver, hereby solemnly reject you, Prince Leonid, as my mate."Leonid stared at me blankly, I knew he wasn't expecting me to reject him openly, he should have seen it coming, my actions had rejected him but this is the height of it, doing it openly is one thing, I never thought I could do. I felt bad for hurting him"I, Prince Leonid the son of the deceased Alpha of the Shadow Moon Pack, hereby accept your rejection." He said as he pushed the door and walked away, he didn't throw an eye at
I sat in the bathtub, filled with water and red rose petals, this is how I love to have my bath, it felt good to have a great bath knowing that no one is after you or your loved ones. The sweet perfume that I have applied to my bath water invades my nostrils, I love the sweet sensation that the water brings to my skinEight years was like yesterday, I can't believe that I have lived with my precious Stefan for eight good years, and our son Jamie, we didn't have another, be it either a girl or a boy, I heard the demon race isn't opportune to have more than one or two offspring those extremely favored ones have two, but I and Stefan had just one, we both happen to be among those not opportune to have more than one heir, I couldn't say that, Stefan and I aren't favored, looking back at our life, we could tell that everything that had happened to us, by now, our existence but have been wiped off the surface of the Earth and we must have long been forgotten. And our son, he is a good boy a
"I was just recalling good memories, memories of you and me.""Hm! So you love those memories.""Uh!" Stefan smiled, as he took my hand. "Maybe, we should recreate then, we should start a new one, with you being my Luna and I the alpha." "What?" "Yes, the council finally accepted me, to rule over them, and who could I possibly pick If not you, my mate, the woman after my heart, and the mother of my heir as my Luna, the woman that will rule beside me?" A Sweet smile blushed my lips as I tried to stand up, but Stefan pulled me into his arms, and he carried me like a princess. Are you blushing? He asked. "No, I am not.""Of course, you are." "Stop teasing." Every step he took with me in his hand, made me blush harder. "I feel like a princess." "No, you are the Luna, so you should feel like a Luna because that is what my beautiful mate is." It's been a week since Stefan gave me the news that, he and I are going to be the leader of this pack, I hope that will are going to meet the s
"Stefan, are you awake?" Stefan opened his eyes but everything was blank, and it took him a few seconds to be able to regain himself and he could see me looming over him with worry and concern. "Fiona!" He called with a dry throat. "How long have I passed out?" "One week!" I replied as I caressed his face. "You got me worried, why did you do that?" I know you are wondering, how I ended up the strong one while my Stefan was the weak one, he had taken all the pains from me, he had even given his life for me. He had practiced a spell on me for days, so he could save me, after the fight, I was like a lifeless wolf on the floor, my body was too weak to fight for life. Even though I don't want him to give his life for me, he insists, he can't live without me, and he wants to protect our unborn child. He did the unthinkable, he had wrestled with death because of me and had come out victorious. The moon goddess had granted him another chance to break the curse of him ending my life and wh
"It's fine, Stefan, you can have my blood, drink my blood, so your pain will finally disappear." He stared at me blankly as I repeated my words. I brushed my hair off my neck and pulled his head down for him to drink my blood. "It's perfect, I will be fine as long as you don't experience this torture anymore," I whispered Stefan intended to kill me but the moment his fangs brushed my neck, Stefan stiffened, contemplating if he should do it. "No, I said, kill her not claim her," Leonid shouted as he rushed towards us, but Stefan's fangs had already gone through my skin. A sharp pain escaped my lips as Stefan's fangs suddenly pierced into my skin, that pain was replaced with pleasure very fast because Stefan wiped it with his tongue, it felt like Stefan had returned, and the next minute, he became very hot, it's like his body is burning and that heat is about to consume me, it's burned badly that he pushed me away from him. A dark smoke formed a cloud around me. "Good job!!!" Leonid
Leonid glared at Stefan, to him, he was unstoppable like Stefan, and one thing he had forgotten he was not an immortal but a mere mortal. The sound of the cry of the sky thundered and the forest since to echoed and Leonid's howls made the wolves spur from their hiding place, how cunning did Leonid become, is he going to make these wolves kill Stefan again, provocating Stefan would make his demon comes out, the man had been keeping his demon in check, it will be dangerous and they might not trust him again. "Show them the demon you are and show them that you are hungry for blood, show them you need to feet your demon, your demon needs to be fed, go on and feed them with these wolves' blood." Leonid yelled as the wolves stood in defense of Leonid, circling Stefan and me. "Stefan, I beg you don't listen to him," I said, as I tried to calm him, he lowered his eyes to look at me, but his eyes were black, no oh, not again, those are the words I want to shout out, Stefan pushed me from hi
"Oh my love, you should be patient, we soon get home.""Which home?" I asked in anger."You know, Stefan should die, and it's a good thing, the man bought my idea and refused to use his demon to fight me, I trick him and those Wolves are human, I used my black magic to give them a wolf scent." "Oh, Leonid, you are despicable.""Stop acting like you are not happy, happy that you are saved from the hand of that monster. You should be grateful for once and try to understand that I am doing this all for you.""Oh please stop, you and I know that you are not doing anything for me but for your selfish self.""Call it anything, I wouldn't mind, call me selfish, but it doesn't bother me, right now, all I want is to claim you because you are my mate.""Never you are not my mate, it's a good thing that my weak human body back then could detect that we are not compatible, that is the reason I don't love you.""You don't have to love me before you let me claim you, after all, Stefan wasn't your m
The door flew open and Stefan was the one that came, I was supposed to be relieved that Stefan had come but I was scared when he looked at his brother and then turned his eyes towards me, his eyes were all black which meant he couldn't recognize me. "How painful it is for your love to look at you as the enemy, oh Leonid, what have you done and what will he gain if Stefan kills me?""Stefan!" I tried to call him but his eyes were all dark, he couldn't even recognize me, he dived me, causing my body to be pummeled to the wall with one swipe, his hand went to my shoulder, leaving a tear on my shoulder, I howl in pain. His hand went to my neck. "Stefan no!""Don't kill her," Jason screamed as he rushed inside the cage. But then the black magic made him and Sky freeze as well, they tried to break through the spell, but they were not able to, Stefan's canines elongated, and he tried to add force on my neck, he wanted to kill me, he wanted to strangle me but I don't know what is wrong with
Stefan had no business wasting time, he towers over the man who has shifted to his wolf form."Did you just say, my unborn child? Is Fiona pregnant, tell me, is she carrying my child?" "What if I say yes, what are you going to do?" He asked as he burst into laughter."I will kill you and feed your body to the bird of the sky.""Come on, you might be a demon but I know you can't kill your blood, you are a coward like your mother, she loves stupidly, it's her love for your father that kills her, and it's also your love for Fiona that will kill you."Stefan hit his face. "Tell me where the heck did your son take my Fiona?""I am not telling, the same way your mother had looked me in the eyes and said, I am not telling.""Now it dawned on Stefan this idiot was the one who killed his mother.""Wait, did you kill my mother?" Stefan glared at him"Yes, I killed your mother, I was the one who told our father, your grandfather that your mother is a witch and a demon and that we should eliminat
Stefan ended the meeting fast when he got a message from Sky that Fiona was nowhere to be found, she was not in her room and the last place he had seen Fiona was in the Garden talking to Hazel. The mere mention of Hazel got his wolf whine, he felt something wasn't right, he needed to find her before it was too late and ended up getting hurt, he couldn't afford to put her in more pain, he was not going to let her go through another torture. "Have you checked the entire pack?" Stefan asked Rex, the young man shook his head, and Jason looked at him suspiciously. "Stop glaring at me, I did nothing, I couldn't approach her because I knew she was scared of me, when I saw her talking to Hazel, I decided to take a break." Rex tries to explain himself. "Why leave her in the hands of Hazel of all people?" Jason asked, Rex pushed his hair back in frustration, it was difficult for them to trust him because of his previous actions but it was also bad for them to blame him outright. "Are you by
