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
My eyes slowly open, I thought that I was dead and right now I am with the moon goddess, it can't be, I am not dead, still alive because my back is meeting a soft bed and that scent is still lingering around, my eyes go round the room, it wasn't my room but a different one. The door flew open, and someone entered, I hadn't seen the face of the person but I knew that it was Stefan, I sat on the bed fast, I could feel the race of my heart, he moved closer to me and caressed my hair. "How are you feeling now, my Luna?" I raise my head to look at him, he seems to be in a good mood. "I am fine, did you save me?" I asked I thought I was already dead, I had no idea that I could still be alive this morning. The moon goddess must love to continue to see me. "Why should I let my Luna die? Why should I hurt the woman that is my Luna?" I frown, he only saves me because I am his Luna, he wants nothing from me, he didn't want anything from me. I am only going to be his Luna because he has no ch
