Chapter 5

Dominic Vance pours himself a drink while overlooking the beautiful scenery of snowy mountains from the windows. Who would have thought that he could have everything he has ever imagined in his palm without doing much? Besides, no words could describe how rapturous he was when Isabella Greaves asked him to make her his Luna.

He has waited for this day since they first met at the academy. Although she has no idea of his existence, Dominic has been watching her from the shadows, ensuring no one is taking advantage of her.

But, now that she knows who he is, why can’t he shake the feeling of nervousness whenever she’s around him?

Dominic couldn’t help but fidget at the thought of her touching him. He needs to throw away this stupid thought, but it’s hard when your crush is actually giving you the attention you’ve always wanted from her. It was easy for him to keep a low profile at the academy since he was a nobody. No one paid attention to him.

But now, that’s not the case anymore.He has a mission to complete.

“Dominic?”

Dominic cleared his throat when his assistant and an old friend, Jasper, walked into the room while he was smiling from ear to ear.

“I guess you had a fun night with Isabella. But will you be able to control yourself? I mean... You’ve always got cold feet whenever she’s around."

Cold feet?

After what happened last night, he thinks he can manage. Besides, they are using each other.

“You have been obsessed with her since our academy days, but using her for revenge makes you a coward," Jasper added. "You’re the alpha now, and using that title properly is what I think you should do. I thought you liked her?"

He do—he still do. And that’s why he was ecstatic when she asked him to make her his Luna.

“Keep your voice low. The lady is still in the room next to us. I don’t want her to hear what you’re saying.” Dominic looked at him from head to toe, forehead creasing. “Why are you here even? I thought I told you to stay out of my room until the lady leaves.”

"I'm just making sure you're not losing your mind. Will you finally tell her you’re the knight in shining armor who would come to her aid whenever she’s in trouble?”

Dominic quickly shakes his head no. “It’s not the right thing to do yet. You should go.”

Jasper drew a deep breath and nodded before he left the room.

Dominic grabbed his drink and went back to his room. “You’re awake...” He froze when Isabella turned with a sheepish smile on her face.

Oh Goddess, is it possible for someone to be so beautiful?

Isabella is the epitome of beauty. And Nathaniel is stupid for breaking her heart. Last night she came here without a second thought.

Dominic was glad, but what he hated the most is that she would accidentally call out Nathaniel's name in stead of him while they were together. Moreover, Dominic hates to admit it, but last night was his first. This woman took his virginity. And she is an experienced woman who was engaged to a pathetic man. And it was his first time touching a woman, and he's afraid he might be addicted to it. And her asking him if he wanted to make her his Luna was the question of a century.

Dominic felt fortunate that he gave his first time to Isabella, his first crush. He watched as Isabella tiptoed towards him before hooking his neck, leaned closer to his thin lips, and stubbornly opened her mouth.

"I overslept. I thought I was already in heaven," she joked.

It can’t be helped. This woman is like a drug to him. And he can’t help himself to have a nibble of her luscious lips.

Dominic leaned in for a kiss before placing his hands on her waist. They pulled away, looking deep into each other's orbs.

“You have such a beautiful pair of eyes I have ever seen, Dominic..."

Is that so?

Dominic smirked before kissing the tip of her nose. Isabella blushed in a deep shade of red.

“Are you trying to flirt with me and lure me into making you my Luna?” He raised his eyebrows.

Dominic had already wasted years because he feared confessing to this woman. If only he had told her he was madly in love with her, they wouldn’t be in this situation.

“Does it sound repulsive to have your nephew’s ex as your Luna? I have never let that man finish inside me—but you did. So whatever happened, you have to take responsibility.”

Dominic smirked. He never guessed Isabella was the type to use such a resort before. He smiled at the thought of her as his wife.

Isabella pulled away, lay down on the bed, and cried herself to sleep. Dominic turned his back and went to a shower. He still has his favorite smile on his face. He loves her annoyed reaction.

When Dominic got out, he was about to have a cigarette but found that the cigarette was on the floor.

Did she express her frustration by stepping on his expensive cigar repeatedly with her foot?

Dominic turned and looked at the little woman sleeping on the bed. He keeps staring at her with many obscene thoughts. There are so many things he would like to do to that woman, but he's a gentleman, and as one, he should be polite and respectful.

His phone kept flashing, and he picked it up and saw more than twenty missed calls and a few text messages.

"Have you seen my fancée? Someone told me that she went somewhere with you. What have you done to her?!”

Dominic raised his eyebrows before casually replying to the text.

“Don't worry, she is safer with me than with you."

He scrolled through a few more messages and pondered silently for a moment, then quickly turned off the phone, dressed, and left without telling Isabella.

“Nathaniel is looking for Isabella. Make sure that man doesn’t make a scene in my room.”

Jasper nodded. "But you should—"

Dominic didn’t let Jasper finish his sentences. “There’s a lot of things I have to think about, Jasper. So please, let’s not dwell in the past.”

There was a point in his life when he wished he dared to confess, but those thoughts are behind him now. All he can do now is walk forward. By hook or by crook, he will make Isabella mine.
