Five

It was a moment of dark desires. I didn't want anything more than to immerse deep in it, to feel the pleasure that comes with it. I didn't quite catch anything as the flames gathered in me and took over. I didn't think before allowing myself to be grabbed by his cold lips giving in to the pull and I couldn't fight it either. My hands found their way around his firm neck and my nose pranked at the smell of his arousal. It sunk deep into my system, cursing me to drop weak in his strong arms.

It was the best smell ever, I mean the best scent I have ever heard in my entire life. I instantly became addicted to it as I kissed back hungrily following his movement.

His other hand left my waist grabbing my left thigh and raising it to his hip. I immediately clenched it around his heavy ones with needs. I was on fire as if I was going to explode anytime.

His growls only flipped my desires, he growled loudly creasing my back with his warm rough palm leaving sparks all over my body. And I seemed to love the feeling, it was something intense. Something I had never felt before.

The feel of butterflies racing in my tummy caused me to nudge into him and grind my hips against him. He seated both his hands under my ass, coursing my pussy to shake in my pant. I was practically feeling every touch from him and my body was eagerly reacting to his touches together with my wolf. I could feel Aria growling in my head fighting for dominance.

I loved everything he was doing to me and strangely, I wanted more of it. I wanted him to touch all my sensitive parts including my most private section. I couldn't swallow any more of the sensitive sound threatening to fall out as I let it slip my lips.

I moaned when he grabbed my nipple with his lips. Feeling his lips on my skin was a whole new feeling.

He lifted me by the waist and I instantly wrapped my legs around his firm waist with his hands supporting my ass.

I felt myself dropping wet in between my thighs but he didn't look down nor stop though I was sure he smelled my deep arousal from the beginning just like I did with his.

He trailed his lips down my throat and I threw back my head back with a growl granting him the access to do as he pleased.

His sharp teeth creased my skin with dark growls pouring out of his mouth.

He seemed out of control as he dipped his fangs deep into my neck skin for me to growl in both pain and pleasure. My hands not leaving his neck, he pulled away meeting my willing gaze. His eyes were flashing dark as my blood plopped down his lips. He started walking me down the shady woods and before I knew it, my back hits something hard but I didn't lose my hold around his neck. I relaxed my back against the tree judt like he wanted.

He jerked his head away.

His golden shining eyes not leaving mine" mine!!!!" he growled possessively and I felt my chest throbbing up in joy as his Lycan began pushing forward. I was happy to be his, I loved that he claimed me. Aria was equally happy.

It didn't last as a suddenly rattling sound picked up behind us. And when we both stared back, It was Ezra and his trope of Lycans "Get him!!" he yelled in anger, his eyes staring disgustingly at me. I saw the pain of my betrayal in his voice. His murderous eyes burned under the moonlight.

Before we realized what was happening, about ten Lycans jumped on us and my handsome mate fought them without difficulty, shading me with his huge body. I was behind him as he fought the Lycans but when he turned to find me in danger. he swiveled me around taking my spot and as a result, the Lycan ended up burying its teeth in his skin instead of mine!

It pulled out a huge skin from his neck and I gasped as blood started popping out of him. My eyes widened as I stared in disbelief looking at his perishing gaze.

" Cath" he whispered and I could feel my tears dropping as I hold tightly unto his weak body" no.....no.,... no..... Don't " I shook my head and we both collapsed to the ground. I felt my heart hammering in my chest, the burning pain was ripping out my heart as I felt like dying too." get the traitor!" Ezra ordered," Please save him!" I pleaded "Please...."

My eyes flipped open before I could be captured. They loomed around the dark room as I wondered what would have happened to me if I was indeed captured.

As crazy as it sounded, a part of me wanted to know the latter.

"It was just a dream" I whispered feeling relief. But the tears were real, I felt them when I touched my face and there were heavy bubbles of sweat sitting on my forehead.

The fear and the pain I felt when he was killed were still there in my heart. I could feel the endless pain" Everything felt real". It was as if it was real and I couldn't help the panic. Ezra killed him, what if it comes true? It was impossible not to be afraid.

What if he would do it? What if he finds out he was my true mate? I shivered in fear looking out from the window in worry. Something wasn't feeling right with me. Maybe because of the panic, I felt after waking up from that horrible nightmare. My heart was practically racing in my chest.

I rubbed my left hand on my thumbing chest. My wet lashes lift constantly to give my eyeballs the chance to look around.

I sighed slipping my feet down the cold floor, I put on the light only to see Ezra sleeping on the couch. I got startled at first but I calmed down seeing who it was. It couldn't get any worse, I thought sniffing.

What was this about? I just had a horrible nightmare and here he was after killing my mate in my dream!

I was going to stride past him to the bathroom when he suddenly grabbed my hand" Happy birthday" he whispered slowly, flipping his blue eyes to meet mine gaze. That wasn't how I planned on celebrating my eighteenth day, I thought.

Was it midnight already? I glared in the direction of the window to be certain. Even though I was a little shocked at how he was able to not forget my birthday but for some reason, I felt myself getting lost in his blue eyes. I even forgot to breathe just by looking back at him. It was so pleasing to have a mate who would not forget who you were and always remember you'remportant days. Ezra indeed did remember my birthday which almost slipped my mind even though I hoped for something special such as having my parents around.

Back in my pack, Mom would always be the one to surprise me in bed during my birthdays. I had never lived without a celebration. Every new year comes with new surprises from them.

My heart warmth a little as he rose from the couch pulling me into his embrace but recalling my mate, I wished for something else.

" you were asleep when I came in" he whispered in his deep sleepy voice and I nodded awkwardly feeling uncomfortable in his grip but who said he was going to let me be? How wrong would it feel to get away from him? He pulled me to his chest wrapping his hands around my waist just like how it happened in my dream but just that this time it wasn't him.

" you smell good" he nudged his head in my hair sniffing my scent.

I smiled and took the good time to know something that had been lingering on my mind since the day I arrived in the Lycans especially when his family thinks differently of me. " Ezra" I whispered and he hemmed "Did that make you uncomfortable?" he asked and I shook my head touching his back with my left hand hesitantly. " why did you choose me?" I asked and he pulled away abruptly staring into my eyes as if searching for something in them. I licked the corner of my lips " It's okay if it's personal" I felt I was overstepping my toes even though the aura around him was powerful but I wasn't a bit afraid of him at least not until I had that horrific nightmare.

Maybe because I was alpha blood. I should be shaken in front of a man like Ezra considering he is a Lycan and worse the said ruthless king. I was just a werewolf, nothing powerful but I had never felt inferior before him or maybe he hadn't given me a reason to. He chuckled" That is nothing secret but I won't tell because I don't want to hurt you" I narrowed my eyes in confusion.

He was not sounding straight and was coming out confused. " came here, the most important is you made a good choice" I frowned, his word sounded like a threat and I found it offensive.

Was that a threat?

" let me hug you one more time" he pulled me to his lap as he sat down back on the couch. I didn't protest even when he started sucking my neck, I was uncomfortable but I shut my eyes not to fight it as I imagine him instead, how wrong of me...

He ran his tongue down to my jaw and then up to my lower lips and I was fast to resist his kiss by turning my head away. " fuck" I heard him curse as I felt something throbbing under my ass. I widened my eyes as I realized what it could be. He shamelessly didn't seem to give up as he nudged his face into my chest running his tongue on top of my breast. I couldn't take it as I gathered the courage to push him away a knock suddenly came on the door. " Bestie?" immediately the voice came in, Ezra signed and I could tell how mad he was for the interruption but I on the other hand was grateful to Helen.

She practically saved me from a claiming ceremony. I couldn't bring myself to accept Ezra's mark. No, I shook my head internally.

" come down for breakfast," he said placing a kiss on my forehead. " awwww!" Helen peered inside the room and I couldn't help the embarrassment. She was such a child! How on earth could she stand and watch us? " I can't believe the alpha king is in love with someone else's mate" She smiled but I didn't find her sentence funny.

Ezra placed me back on my feet before walking out. " I will head out too" Helen followed behind him and I felt too chill from the embarrassment.

I placed both hands on my cheek feeling the temperature over there. I was sure my face was bright red. I ran along to the bathroom to have a shower. " such a horrible night" I murmured stripping off my clothes to get under the shower.

After taking a shower I shoved my body into a simple white ground gown and went to the mirror. " I did it" just as I was told to. I hope the queen won't find any fault hence I pray I won't be the center of attention at the dining this time.

I tried my hair into a high ponytail before matching dining.

As I dropped from my room, I could feel my confidence level raising back to its normal state.

Maybe because ......

I better not imagine things. As I took a turn towards the dining room, the door was pushed open for me but after a few steps, I bumped into a maid all the food she had in her hands fall on the floor accompanied by the broken plates which steered the attention I didn't want to attract to myself.

She wasn't looking and instead of being angry, I felt sorry for her though my clothes were ruined badly.

"oh Luna, am sorry" she panicked as she went on her knees to beg me " is nothing to..." I was about to speak when the sudden footsteps interrupted. " such a shame. She is no different from the maids" I lifted my head to look at the source of the ill-mannered person even though I knew.
