Alessia left the door and walked back to Marcus's room as she waited for him. The door to the room opened and he came in, his expression neutral.She stood up from the bed and walked towards him, making him raise his brow slightly in suspicion." What's the full moon? And what will happen when it comes? " She mumbled through her lips, her arms crossed.Marcus stood there in shock at her knowing of such a thing before quickly recovering." I am amused by your guts, Alessia. I never knew you liked eavesdropping in on people's conversations. " Marcus replied, chuckling and shaking his head." That's not what I'm asking you, Marcus. What's the full moon? You sounded frustrated when talking about it. " She retorted." It's something that happens to werewolves, particularly the females. " He explained" So, am I going to be in danger when the full moon comes and you all lose control? '' Alessia asked, slightly worried." Don't think too much about it because you won't be here when the full
" What do you mean?! You haven't answered my question. That thing was about to eat me, I have to know what it is and what are you. " She asked, confused." I will explain all these to you but you have to follow me to my house. This is for your own good, you aren't going to be safe if I leave you here all alone " Kane tried to explain." My own good? I was just attacked by that thing. " " There are more of them out there. I can't leave you here. Please follow me. " He pleaded, Zelda looked into his eyes and saw the sincerity in them before reluctantly nodding her head to follow him to his house.Zelda abruptly sat up from the dream, just having a terrible dream. What the hell was that thing chasing her? Her brows furrowed in confusion as she tried to remember what happened last night. As soon as the images flashed back to her memories, her eyes widened and she gasped in shock. She must have probably slept off in Kane's arms but what she couldn't understand was why he brought her to
The next morning when Alessia woke up after she blacked out from the bite Marcus gave her. There were just a few fragments of memories she could recall; everything else was black. After all that crazy stuff that happened to her, the undeniable arousal, her urge to have sex and Marcus's strange behavior and weird stuffs he said which she totally didn't understand. She could remember Marcus had said something that wasn't clear to her, his behavior seemed like someone else was in his body and then he had bit her neck before she could realize what he was doing. What happened afterwards was mostly erased from her memory. Now that she thought about it, she couldn't understand why on earth Marcus would have bitten her. Did he think about killing? But if his aim was to kill her, then she would have been dead by now. What was his reason to bite her?Also what she remembered was that he said something about him not being Marcus but Draven, his wolf. Alessia had no idea what that meant but as
Marcus gulped thickly, his throat running dry, a trail of sweat running down the side of his face. The sight before him was beyond any temptation he had ever encountered. Before his restraints collapsed, he turned his back at her." You're not thinking straight, Alessia. You're... " " I know what I'm doing. I'm thinking straight. " She persisted, her hands going further upwards to his manhood. Marcus growled, his veins popping out and his knuckles tightening. He stiffened in his spot as her hands kept moving upwards but before she could go any further he walked away from her and hands fell. " You need to see a doctor. " Marcus said." I don't need any doctor. I need you. " She bit her lip, her eyes fraught with desire." You don't need me. " He yelled and walked out of the bathroom." What's wrong with her?" Duncan asked as he saw Marcus walking out of the bathroom drenched in his own sweat." She's never acted this way before and has never smelt so damn good before. Do you probabl
Alessia awoke to the sound of birds chirping their pleasant tune early in the morning. The first thing she noticed was that the intense heat that had tortured her before she fell asleep had vanished. A warm surface lay beneath her body, and a huge arm was wrapped around her waist.As something dangled and moved inside of her, soft breaths kept hitting the skin of her neck.She raised head up and turned over to lay on her belly and gasped when she realised what had just happened. She rubbed her eyes with the back of her hands then reopened them to take a good look at the strange surface beneath her. She was met with the face of none other than Marcus.He had his eyes closed which means he was sleeping and she laid on top of him with his palm suddenly moving to grab her exposed bottom. So the surface she felt beneath her, the soft breaths she felt on her skin and the weird thing that was moving inside of her was all from Marcus which only means he had his manhood inside of her while he
" W...do you think you're doing? " She swallowed her saliva nervously." Don't play dumb with me, mate. I can smell your arousal " he whispered into her ear as he breathed up and down her neck then without warning he dived straight down into the crook, his lips latching around the two puncture holes and sucking like his life depended on it. Alessia gasped, both from surprise and pleasure. Just at the touch of his lips against her mark, a shocking wave of heat rushes through her, slicking her skin with sweat, attuning her to his every movement.She was probably not in that thing called 'heat' anymore but her sexual desires seemed to have awaken once more. She thought she could fight her desires, but she was mistaken; all it took was a swerve of his tongue on her skin for a moan to rush past her parted lips, indicating the disappearance of all her rational thoughts. Her hands, which had been glued to her side of the bed, rose to caress his bare back, and her slender fingers boldly dip
Alessia and Marcus left the kindergarten an hour later in a good mood. She certainly felt so happy being with the kids. She felt their precious smiles and warm welcome. Marcus cleared his throat and looked at Alessia" I never knew you liked kids. " Alessia said." Because you never asked. " He replied" Or maybe because you were always grumpy towards me, sometimes you are nice and sometimes you aren't. It's just like you keep on having mood swings. " Alessia lamented, frowning.He didn't like how she phrased it because he doesn't seem to have mood swings. Her statements made him feel like a teenager who couldn't manage his emotions, which was terrible for his Alpha reputation.He denied, a little too loudly to be convincing, " N-no." " Don't say that out loud, but I don't have mood swings."Alessia couldn't stop laughing at his bizarre behaviour.His eyes impulsively caved in to the need to glance back down at her lips, simply to get a good mental picture of her laughing, as he look
"We discovered a hunter roaming the territory. We also discovered a lot of silver in his backpack." Duncan informed Marcus as soon as he arrived.Marcus was enraged at the prospect of a hunter walking around his domain." How did he manage to come this far by himself?" Marcus probed, his question focused on himself.He lowered his gaze to the unconscious man on the ground."Perhaps there was a trail or something. He must have an accomplice." Duncan murmured, lost in thought." Put him in a cell and I will interrogate him when he wakes up."***Days later…Layla entered the dungeon, hoping no one would notice her as she approached Louisa's cell." Future Luna," Layla called, Louisa frowned, standing up and keeping a safe distance from the silver bars. " How are you managing?"" I can't wait to get out of this hellhole and exact my wrath." She exclaimed, enraged." I wish I could help you get out of here, but I'm afraid I can't." Louisa only rolled her eyes as Layla murmured."What is g
" It's an honour to have you visit here Luna, " Penelope bowed low in front of Alessia immediately she walked in. " Don't be too formal, Penelope. " Alessia chuckled. " We… " She was interrupted as a petite girl ran towards them, panting and sweating on the forehead. " Lady Penelope! Alexa! Alexa is about to give birth! " She exclaimed, her eyes bulging. " I'm coming, " She stated. " I'm coming with you. " Alessia announced before she could leave and Penelope turned to look at her, confusion visible on her face. " Of course, you can, My Luna. " The expression on Penelope's face changed to that of excitement. " Alexa would be honoured to have you by her side. " Alessia was in a good mood when she exited the delivery room an hour later. She could sense the women's camaraderie. It was genuine, not forced, and it was given freely. She had been the Luna of the Blood Water's pack for three years since her marriage to Marcus, and it was her responsibility to protect the pack emotional
In the spur of the moment, Kane hurriedly shoved himself in the direction of Alessia as the bullet stabbed into his flesh, causing the wolfsbane to stream through his veins. Although the wolfsbane didn't have the same effect on him as it did on Marcus, the toxin was still terrible and deadly, and it made him feel slightly weak. Marcus let out a growl as the wolfsbane burned through his body, and the three rogues who came with Louisa rushed towards him and hooked their teeth into Marcus's skin, drawing lines and lines of blood through the deeply pierce wounds. Marcus's pure determination was only able to maintain him alive for so long without anybody present to stem the flow of blood, and the terrible part was that if he moved an inch while trying to defend himself, he'd just make things worse. Louisa, on the other hand, grimaced as her glance shifted to his direction. " Stop to it!" She screamed, but no one heard her, and she was on her way to help Marcus when Tristan shot her. " I
Marcus' paws slamming against the ground were more menacing and thundering than anything else. Each of his thrusts forward was incredibly powerful, and his black eye erupted in rage. His mission was to track out Alessia and kill everybody who had harmed or touched her. The various scents that were beginning to disgustingly whip at his nose indicated that his ambitions were near to being realised. With nearly two hundred wolves thundering behind him, he continued fleeing through the woods.With so many scents, catching a whiff of his mate was becoming increasingly difficult. He detected the scents of both hunters and rogues, implying that some of them are likely to be in the vicinity of their hideout.Marcus increased his speed, running as quickly as he could, taking a long smell of every single scent he could find in the hopes of identifying one in particular, which he did, and it was the scent of his mate. It didn't take him long to see it was different from the others, and the thoug
" Alessia, take a seat and calm down. " For the umpteenth time in an hour, Zelda said. It had been an hour since Kane and Marcus had left, but Alessia still couldn't seem to get her mind off Marcus being in danger, despite her assurances that he would be fine. "At the very least, consider the child you're carrying; it doesn't need the stress you're causing it. Why don't you take a seat for a moment while I go get you some orange juice?"Alessia's mind was filled with worries of what could be happening where Marcus was and as a result, she couldn't stop herself from thinking too hard. " What if something happens to him? I have seen rogues before and they scare the shit out of me. "" Can you relax now? I doubt that he would be outnumbered since Kane's helping him. " Zelda said, walking towards the kitchen as Alessia followed behind her. " I think you're right. " She muttered as she leaned on the counter." Do you still want a glass of orange juice? "She shook her head. " No, I would
" Are you sure? " Marcus asked, leaning forward, his eyes void and as cold as ice. Alessia flinched by the sound of his voice. She furrowed her brows at the unexpected change of his countenance. It was normal for him to get angry but it seems there are more reasons for his anger." I... I'm absolutely sure. Whoever that man is it's totally inappropriate of him to spy on a couple having sex. " Alessia frowned, crossing her arms." You should have told me when you saw him. " Marcus said, gritting his teeth in anger." Are you blaming me for not telling you? We were both cut up in love making. " Alessia defended, scoffing at his actions."What do you mean, cut up? Do you know who that man is?" Marcus expressed his displeasure angrily. He was certain the rogues were involved, but how could it be? He didn't hear or smell them for some reason. His face twisted in a suspicious manner. Was it some kind of game they were playing? And to know that they weren't the only ones out to get him, and
Marcus stood up as Alessia shuffled out of his hold, he simply stood in place, his dark eyes glaring at nothing in particular as anger started to boil inside him. Who the hell was knocking on the door by this time? He had been so caught up in what he was doing that he failed to pick up the sound of an unwanted guest." I thought you said… " " I know what I said. " Marcus scowled, clenching his jaw. Why can't the person find the right time to come instead of cutting through what they were about to do? Marcus already had a freaking boner!" I hope you wouldn't go to the door like that. " She frowned, pointing at his naked body. " I can go out the way I like. Don't tell me you only want this to satisfy your eyes. " He cocked his head and smirked." Whatever, " She scoffed, rolling her eyes. It was his body anyway! But she couldn't help but fume in anger at another person seeing him like that. What if it's a woman at the door?" I'm sure I'm going to kill whoever is behind that door. "
" Aren't you going to go talk to him before he leaves? " Zelda asked Alessia, who kept pacing up and down in the living room, trying to think of what Marcus and Kane could be talking about. She was afraid that Marcus would be so angry with her for talking to Kane but what could she do? Kane was Zelda's boyfriend, yes. Zelda had explained their encounter to her and how he opened up to her about being a Vampire. Although Zelda didn't want to take things so fast but she couldn't help feeling the magnetic pull towards him. She just keeps feeling attracted to him that she can't help it anymore and decided they should just get into a relationship." I don't think I want to face him right now. He must hate me for talking to Kane and moreover I'm keeping away my pregnancy from him which I think isn't right. " " Yes, it isn't. I think it would be better for you to tell him that you're carrying his child. It would be better for you to inform him than for him to find out himself. " Zelda encour
" So you have a traitor in your pack, but how come?" Alessia muttered, her mind wandering to Louisa. Marcus' mind, on the other hand, was elsewhere, still thinking about what Draven had said. Could she be pregnant? Was he going to be a father? Despite the fact that she didn't appear to be. He was confident that if she was pregnant, she would inform him since he had the right to know. What if she really is? What would he do now?He adored children and had always desired a family, but now that his wishes seemed to be coming true, he wasn't feeling it." Did you hear what I said just now?" Alessia asked, tilting her head to face him." Are you keeping something from me?" Marcus asked a question that caught her off guard." What exactly do you mean?" She questioned, nervously swallowing her saliva while feigning oblivion." Is there anything I should be aware of?" He asked again, his gaze fixed on her."No, why did you ask?"" Nothing. " He muttered under his breath. " I'd drive you to yo
Marcus halted the car with a hand over his face, took a long breath, and opened his mouth to finally squeeze out an apology, but the unexpected look on her face stopped him."Alessia, please look at me. That was not my intention." Marcus quickly corrected his statements after realising what he had just said."No, I understand. You despise humans, including me. Even if they're wrong, you'll always choose your pack members over me." Alessia interrupted him."I swear it was only a slip of the tongue. None of those words were intended in any way. My pack, including you, is very important to me." He quickly shifted his gaze to her." How do I know for certain? How can I trust someone who doesn't believe in me? Marcus, you told me to leave. I begged you to trust me, but all you did was turn your back on me." Despite the fact that she knew Marcus must have heard her voice crack when she mentioned his lack of trust in her, she gulped and continued, ignoring the impulse to release a few tears
