Rejected and Wanted By the Alpha Chapter 16 : Encounter In The Kitchen
It was past two o’clock in the morning, and Luciano was unable to sleep.His room was facing the garden and there was a forest in the distance. Luciano decided to go for a run. That should help him clear his mind.Ideally, Luciano would shift into his wolf form. Feeling the soil and grass under his paws as the wind runs through his fur always feels good. However, he is in the territory of the Red Moon pack and if his wolf is seen, it will be perceived as a challenge, a threat.He came here to see what Alpha Edward was plotting, and not to start a war.Luciano descended the stairs and reached the main floor. He took a turn toward the door that leads to the garden when the sweet citrusy scent of freesia got his attention.Without thinking, Luciano’s legs moved, and he found himself in the part of the packhouse he hadn’t visited before. The kitchen.The main light was off, but he could see the surroundings among heavy shadows because the fridge was open.And there he saw a small figure s

Luciano stopped in the middle of the garden and took a deep breath in search of Talia. The wind mixed in the scent of freesia with hydrangea and roses and scattered them in random directions, and… “Shit!”, Lucaino cursed under his breath. “I lost her.” ‘Why did she leave?’, Lucaino asked his wolf. ‘Maybe because you scared the soul out of her.’ Luciano was confused. ‘I scared her?’ ‘The girl is abused and jumpy, yet you sneaked behind her. You prevented her from leaving and held her while demanding that she answer your questions, so yes. You scared her. And that was only the last five minutes. The first time you met, there was another she-wolf sucking you off and you shouted at this precious one to stop. It’s not the best first impression, if I may say.’ Luciano cussed internally. He didn’t want to think about the unpleasant things. He was unable to get Talia’s image out of his mind. Damned mate bond! An idea hit him… ‘Isn’t she my mate? Why did she run away from me? If we are

‘Are you thinking about rejecting the girl?’, Lucaino’s wolf asked. Luciano let out a long breath. ‘I need to protect her.’ ‘If you want to protect her, you need to keep her close. Not reject her.’, his wolf said sternly. They already talked about keeping Talia safe, but he was not close to finding a solution that would work. His wolf explained that without her wolf, Talia doesn’t feel the bond, so she is not impacted by Lucaino’s presence (or absence). At most, Talia will be attracted to him and if Luciano wants to win her over, he will need to do it the human way: to romance her until she falls in love with him. Assuming that he succeeds, and she accepts him, it will not be a done deal. Without the mate bond, she can fall out of love at any time. Of course, if they go through the mating ceremony and he leaves his mark on her, the bond will be formed, but he would need to reach the point of the girl accepting him. What a mess. Luciano has no idea how to court a girl, but he is

Alpha Edward rubbed his temples and continued scolding Katherina, “Didn’t you read the information on the Dark Howlers pack I gave you? Unless it’s a serious crime, they don’t resort to physical punishments. As a Luna, you need to be caring and gentle, not only toward your Alpha but toward every pack member. How will he take you in as his Luna if you are beating people for small mishaps? Only after you establish yourself you can do what you want, and until then you need to follow his rules.”He looked at her grimly.“I hope, for your good, that you can fix this. If your stupid stunt ruins all plans I made, you will pay for it, Katherina.”“Yes, father.”, Katherina said submissively.‘BAM!’Katherina jolted when her father smacked the desk.“Don’t you, yes father, me! I want you to find Luciano and make sure he accepts you as his Luna. Do whatever it takes. Do you understand?”Katherina nodded fervently and she was relieved when her father waved at her to leave.She rushed into her roo

Luciano used a mind link to confirm where Caden and Maya were.The two of them were standing on the side and watching warriors train in a vigorous exercise of holding big logs above their heads and running an obstacle course.Whoever tripped or dropped the log, was punished for doing pushups before being allowed to continue.Luciano was wondering where their guide (aka James) was, but then he saw him among the warriors.“That was fast…”, Caden said teasingly when Lucaino joined them.“Shut up!”, Lucaino growled. “What’s the status here?”Caden gestured toward a few warriors who were monitoring others. “Those are generals. They will finish this session in about ten minutes, and then we can meet with them before the next session starts.”Luciano hummed in approval and pushed his phone into Caden’s hand. “Here. Don’t let others hear the sound.”Caden tapped his Bluetooth device, connecting it with Lucaino’s phone. Maya huddled closer to Caden, her good werewolf hearing allowed her to hea

After four buildings without any hints of Talia, Lucaino was frustrated.“Are you looking for anything in particular?”, Nora asked when she saw Luciano spacing out in the middle of the hallway.Luciano shrugged and shook his head. He was not sure himself.Nora stepped closer to him and spoke in a sultry voice, “Whatever you want, I can give you…”Luciano frowned. “Keep your distance, Miss Nora, or people might get the wrong idea.”She didn’t move and his expression darkened.“Do you want to start the rumours about us? I wonder, what would Alpha Edward say if he thinks something is going on between us? I’m sure you are aware of my reputation. One more girl won’t make a difference, but for you who tried to ruin Katherina’s chances of becoming the Luna of the Dark Howlers pack…” Luciano clicked his tongue.Nora gave him a tight smile and increased the distance between them.She got the message to stay away. For now.Luciano got immersed in his thoughts, completely ignoring Nora who fidge

Luciano climbed to the attic faster than the wind and his lips curved into a smile when he inhaled the scent of freesia he was craving for.The girl was there.He stared at the closed door in front of him and took a moment to compose himself.Luciano thought about how he went all around the Red Moon pack’s properties in search of the girl. Why didn’t he think of checking the packhouse thoroughly?He already knew that the girl was not in the common buildings because she came to the kitchen in the packhouse.Now that he was standing in the attic, he realized that obvious places would be to check the basement and the attic, as well as any isolated places where guests don’t venture. It seems that his mind was muddled and he didn’t think straight.Well, it doesn’t matter.The time has come. She is right there. Behind that door. Hopefully.Luciano knocked on the door lightly and waited. Nothing.He knocked again, this time with a bit more force.Luciano thought that he heard some shuffling

As much as Luciano enjoyed this newfound feeling, he couldn’t ignore Talia’s injuries. The scent of dried blood disturbed the sweet citrusy scent of freesia, telling him that she was not OK.Luciano took Talia’s hand in his and observed a cut that was on top of a nasty bruise. It was scabbing, but it still looked fresh.‘Mate’s healing is slow because she doesn’t have her wolf’, Lucaino’s wolf explained.Luciano raised Talia’s hand toward his lips and licked the cut.Talia jerked her hand away, but Lucaino’s reflexes were top-notch, and he increased his grip, preventing her from doing so.“What are you doing?”, Talia asked in panic.No one ever licked her before, and this was a scary Alpha! Will he eat her?“Shush! Don’t you know that our saliva has analeptic properties? I’m helping your wound heal. You should say, thank you, and not complain.”, Lucaino said and grimaced. Considering her sweet scent, he assumed that she will taste sweet also, but… “Why is it bitter?”“I applied an her

It's overLuciano turned to look at Talia who was standing at the door of the bathroom, and his eyebrows rose in approval.That oversized tank top covered Talia’s private parts, but it was also low on the chest, giving him a glimpse of Talia’s cleavage… high on the thighs, exposing her legs, and loose around arms… Luciano swallowed hard as the image of Talia’s side-boob flashed in his mind. Yup, he remembered that.He really wanted to suck her there. Everywhere.Talia squirmed under Luciano’s gaze. Why did he look at her like she was naked?Talia was about to tug the tank top and cover her legs more, but she held that urge back due to fear of how that will lower the opening at her neck and expose her girls, so she just pressed her legs together and folded her arms over her stomach in a feeble attempt to protect herself from Luciano’s x-ray vision.“Can I help you?”, Talia asked.Luciano tilted his head and smiled a little. “There is no need to be so cautious, wife. Do you remember me

Luciano was sitting in his office with a glass of whiskey in his hand and thinking about the talk he had with Caden and Maya after dinner.They discussed the upcoming festival and the issue of Katerina.The preparations for the festival were on schedule and increased security was already in effect, so they focused on discussing Katerina.They decided to work on delaying her visit.It was Maya’s plan.“Instead of telling her not to come, we will tell her WHEN to come.”Luciano didn’t like it, but he gestured to Maya to keep on talking.“Two weeks.”, Maya said. “We will tell Katerina that your schedule is packed and that you can’t entertain her now, but in two weeks she can come, and you will make it up to her.”“You think Katerina and Alpha Edward will accept this two-week delay?”, Luciano asked.“No.”, Maya said bluntly before elaborating, “This is not about getting two weeks, but about negotiating. I expect that they will ask for Katerina to come sooner. I believe that we can settle

Seeing that Luciano was looking at her grimly from the door of her room, Talia didn’t dare to provoke him.Talia didn’t have the faintest clue what caused his current mood (or what that mood was), but she decided to play it safe, and she lowered her head.“I apologize, Alpha Luciano.”, she said in a small voice.‘BAM!’Talia jolted when the door closed loudly, and she inhaled sharply at the realization that Luciano was only half a step away from her.It took him only a second to cross the distance between them.Luciano grabbed her chin with his index finger and thumb and forced her to lift her head and look at him.“What did you call me?”He was leaning above her, and his angry words splashed on her face. Talia blinked rapidly, unsure what he was getting at.Seeing the horror in her eyes, Luciano let go of her chin and put his palm on her cheek.“I told you to call me by my name. Luciano. Just Luciano. Say it.”His tone was much gentler, but his gaze was unwavering.“Luciano”, Talia s

Between sparring sessions, Luciano was contacting Maya through the mind-link, reminding her to take Talia shopping, but Maya told him that Talia was sleeping and that she shouldn’t be disturbed.‘Talia is sleeping. Considering her wounds, it’s important that she rests. We can shop tomorrow.’, Maya tried to reason with Luciano.‘No. Do it today.’, Luciano was not relenting.The truth is that he felt guilty.He knew that Talia left because of the incident in the kitchen, and he thought that if Maya takes her shopping, Talia will feel better and not try to leave again.The thought of Talia leaving was creating knots in his stomach.She nearly escaped, and next time, he might not be so lucky to find her sleeping in the forest.It was late afternoon when Luciano finished training and returned to the packhouse.His shorts was sticking to his body, and his bare chiseled chest and abs were glistening due to all the sweat and he was itching for a shower.Luciano heard Maya’s voice coming from

“Oh, before I forget…”, Maya stirred the conversation the other way. “Don’t tell anyone that you are from the Red Moon pack. The official story is that you grew up with your grandparents somewhere North and that after they passed, you came here with the goal to find a pack and we bumped into each other accidentally. Do you remember the gas station where Alpha Luciano went out to purchase snacks on his own? It’s the stop where you switched places with Caden.”Talia nodded.“That’s where we met. Feel free to fill in any gaps about your background.”, Maya said and observed Talia who was listening intently with a hint of confusion on her face. “Do you know why this is important?”Talia shook her head, indicating that she doesn’t.“If Alpha Edward suspects that we took you secretly, he might accuse us of kidnapping or stealing.”Talia’s eyes widened. “I agreed to come with you.”“You did, but Alpha Edward is not on friendly terms with Alpha Luciano, and he might use this incident to stir t

“AWOOOOO!”A sky-piercing howl shook all the windows in the packhouse of the Dark Howlers pack, threatening to shatter them. The powerful sound echoed far into the distance, stirring every pack member with the might their Alpha possesses.“Will Luciano be OK?”, Maya asked Caden while blinking at the dawn which cracked through the windows.They heard four rapid thumps when Luciano landed in the garden after jumping from his balcony on the third floor.“He will be fine.”, Caden assured Maya and pulled her closer to him. “The border patrol just notified Luciano that they found Talia.”Maya wanted to ask for more information, but Caden was snoring softly already, so she gave up.Normally, warriors and patrols can’t contact Luciano through the mind-link. That is reserved for Caden, Maya, and Stephanie, and even those three know not to disturb him unless it’s important.Warriors, scouts, and other pack members follow the chain of command which allows only a handful of people to contact Cade

In the kitchen…Luciano pried his arm free from Cassie’s hold and her eyes widened in surprise.Why did he back away? Why was he frowning? Things were going well, damn it!She composed herself and called sweetly, “Alpha Luciano, do you think I was out of line?”“Cassie, you accused a teenage girl of being a thief. Do you really think that my pack members have a need to come here and steal food?”Cassie pressed her lips into a line, feeling wronged. “But she was in the dark which is proof that she was up to no good. How could she see anything with the lights off?”Luciano took a moment to process what Cassie said, and he realized that Cassie was right: Talia was in the dark.The light in the kitchen was off and so was the one in the hallway. The visibility was close to nil.Werewolves have enhanced senses, proportional to the strength of their wolf.Cassie is a weak werewolf and the boost her wolf provides her is negligible when compared to other werewolves.However, Talia was able to

Seeing that Talia was not responding and that Luciano didn’t react, Cassie was emboldened.“Answer me!”, Cassie hissed at Talia and spoke to Luciano without removing her gaze from Talia. “Is this how your Omegas are acting? You really need a Luna to teach them some manners. Sneaking in the dark and stealing food, and then they even refuse to respond…”“That’s enough, Cassie!”, Maya said sternly from the door.Maya’s heart cracked when she saw Talia’s submissive stance. It’s not that Cassie had any aura, but Talia was a broken soul who needed supportive environment.Maya walked to Talia and asked softly, “Are you OK?”Talia nodded faintly, but Maya knew that Talia was lying.Maya narrowed her eyes at Luciano and spoke through the mind-link. ‘Is this why you brought her here? I thought you promised her protection and not another type of hell.’“Come, let’s get out of here…”, Maya said to Talia while wrapping her arm around Talia’s shoulders.“We are not done here”, Cassie said stiffly,

Talia blinked herself awake and the first thing she noticed was the darkness.It was definitely past dinner time, but Talia didn’t mind.She buried her head deeper into the pillow, indulging in the softness and warmth that came with the scent of the forest and dark chocolate.Talia paused and took a few sniffs to confirm that her nose is not playing tricks on her.Talia looked around to ascertain that she was on her own.She was confused. The room didn’t smell like Luciano before she fell asleep, but now it did.She liked his scent; it was a mix of her two favorite things: forest and a sweet treat. Talia wondered if Luciano came to check on her while she was sleeping.Talia shook that thought away. Why would a scary Alpha come to check on her?It’s more probable that Stephanie or Maya brought something that had Luciano’s scent on it. But she couldn’t see anything different.Talia decided to stop thinking about it. It doesn’t matter.She listened carefully, and there were no sounds she
