★ELAINE'S POV★Beta Adrian briefly pulled away from me, prompting a stab of hurt to cut through my guts. I instantly lowered my gaze to meet the floor. My heart sank and I thought of something plausible to say, just so I could avert the awkwardness and tension between us. But before I could assimilate what was going on, he tilted my chin up and collided his lips with mine.My breath hitched. Butterflies erupted from my stomach and I curled my toes in ecstasy. The kiss was sweet, passionate; full of wants, needs, and desires. From the way his fingers lingered on the base of my neck, I could tell that he wanted me, just as much as I did. A soft moan emanated from the back of my throat when he began to nibble my lips. Down there, I could feel my thighs heating up, and my pants were already wet. However, Beta Adrian pulled away shortly after, shattering my fantasies into fragments. His breathing ragged as he spoke. “I am sorry for taking advantage of you, Luna.” he apologized, keeping
★BETA ADRIAN'S POV★ †The same day† Rubbing my eyelids tiredly, I pulled myself to a sitting position. I woke up this morning with a migraine because I couldn't get a single bit of sleep after what transpired between Luna and me, last night. Why did I kiss her back? Have I been fantasizing about Luna Elaine for a long time? Or was it because I haven't gotten laid in a while? I shook my head in denial, shoving those weird thoughts away from the forefront of my brain. What happened with Luna Elaine was a damn mistake and it should not be repeated. I scolded myself. A soft knock erupted on my room door, and I shuffled out of bed, slipped into a white cloak, and demanded the person to come in. Alas, my omega, Gaius walked into my room. He bowed in deference. “Greetings, Beta. You asked me to remind you about taking a quick survey of the ruins from the omega quarters,” he informed me. “That's true. What about Sylvester? Has he been able to find out the cause of the fire?” I inquired, w
★BETA ADRIAN'S POV★Her brows creased deeper in confusion. “You are just like me, how?” I licked my lips and stated. “This is not my actual pack,” I informed her and she stared back at me in disbelief. Just as I was about to enunciate further, we heard a couple of footsteps emanating from the entrance to the library. Instantly, I released my grip around her waist, and she took two steps backward. I watched her pick up the book on the floor and pretend to study it. A small smile tugged at the corner of my lips and I was lost, admiring her beautiful features when I heard their voices. “Oh look, Sydney.....it's the Beta!” My head snapped in their direction and I hardened my jaw to give me that serious look.Three young she-wolves made their way toward me and they bowed at once. “Greetings, Beta.” came their chorused greeting. “Greetings,” I replied sharply, observing that they made no effort to greet the Luna. “We are here to study.” One of them told me. “Yes, Beta.” Another chir
★ELAINE'S POV★ I cast him a cursory glance, before asking; “What do you want to show me?” A small smirk darkened his features. “You will see. Just follow me quietly, let me keep showing you around." Returning the smile, I rose to my feet. “That is fine by me.” Somehow, I wasn't sure but maybe because Beta Adrian shared his own story, alas, I was starting to feel like I could trust him. Perhaps a little. Beta Adrian and I walked side by side through the pack, without holding hands. He continued to show me around, while people bowed to pay him respect. On the other hand, I was unbothered as they acted like they didn't notice me. With Beta Adrian by my side, nothing seems to bother me. In a short span of twenty minutes, I found myself at the edge of the same lake, I cried after Alpha Damon slapped me. My eyes hovered around the crystalline lake, glistening under the sunlight. The sight was therapeutic and mind-blowing. It somewhat made me feel lost in thought and entrapped out of r
★ELAINE'S POV★“Yes, Beta Adrian” I looked away from him with my cheeks flushing in embarrassment. “Please make love to me.”Somehow, he closed the distance between us, without me noticing. His hand snaked around the back of my neck — his fingers warm against my cooler skin.My face automatically tilted up towards his, but my lips parted open out of sheer pleasure.His mouth captured mine, and this time, it was gentle, coaxing and I felt like he'd lit a fire that ran through my veins. His lips teased mine inviting me closer, and before I knew it, my hands were pressed against his chest. The fiery warmth of his skin burned through the expensive cotton of his shirt.Thereafter, his chest muscles shifted beneath my hands as he lifted his other arm to curve around my waist, drawing me closer to him. Hip to hip, there was no denying that he was fully aroused as me.Tension built in my body, coiling tight as he deepened our kiss and coaxed my lips open with his probing tongue.He tasted of f
★ELAINE'S POV★Colors drained from Tania's face immediately, and she scrambled away from me in shock. Her eyes narrowed at my face, as she stared at me in disbelief. It was obvious she was judging me, and I didn't like it. I thought she would understand me. “Tan—" “What were you thinking, my lady?" Her question echoed through the four walls of my room and I swallowed hard. “Please, don't judge me, Tania," I said with a defeated tone, feeling slightly embarrassed of myself. “This is huge, Elaine! I know I'm not supposed to judge you, but what? You slept with the Beta?" She reiterated in awe. I lowered my gaze to my sweaty fingers and fiddled with them. “Yes, I know. But I just find myself attracted to him more than I expect— I know it's only been days, but the heart wants what it wants, Tania." I started, trying to dissuade whatever thoughts were going through her mind. “Your heart is wanting what would put you in danger." She blurts, gesturing at the both of us. " Put you and m
★BETA ADRIAN'S POV★In shock, I narrowed my eyes at Gaius' face. Does he understand what he just said? Alpha Damon wasn't supposed to be back until after two days. He's meant to spend five days there, and it's just been three days. So what's he saying? I took a quick glimpse at Luna Elaine, sleeping on the bed. Before I could attempt to go and wake her up, Alpha Damon's voice rang out from the hallway. “Adrian... I asked your servant to check if you are in your chambers, so I won't waste my time coming here." He announced the second he appeared right in front of me.“Good morning, Damon." I greeted, swallowing the hard lump in my throat. “I thought you weren't supposed to be back until two days?" “Yes, I contributed a large sum of money to the black fur pack and laid down some certain strategies. So I decided to leave first." He explained. Drumming my fingers nervously against the door ledge, I tried to think of something else to say. Was it just me, or it's so hot here? I could f
★ELAINE'S POV★While bandaging Tania's wound, I looked up to see her staring intently at me with a wide grin plastered on her lips. “What?" I asked, narrowing my eyes. “You seem to be glowing these days, my lady. Is it because of him?" I shrugged. “I don't know, Tania. But I think it is. Although it seems wrong, deep down in my guts it feels right. And I have really grown fond of the Beta." Tania took my hands in hers, prompting me to stare at her beautiful eyes. “I want you to be happy, Elaine. Since you have grown fond of him, I'll make sure to support you and make sure the Alpha never gets to find out." I flashed a smile at her. “Thank you so much, Tania." We heard a knock on the door, so I proceeded to answer it since Tania could barely walk. Opening the door, I met a male omega standing right there. He bowed the moment he saw me and greeted me. “Greetings, Luna. The Beta requests your presence at the frosty lake." Instantly, my heart leaped. “Please tell him, I'll be th
