Deluna Hansen.
"It's nice to have you here, alpha Hansen." But I can barely mistake the hatred in his voice as love and the contemptuous smile on his face as a good one. A plan for tonight? Oh yeah, it's full moon tonight.
" And you make me wonder, why the hell would you organize such an important party during full moon?" But I don't wait for him to reply. I cover up my scorn for him and put on a smile. "See you around, Caleb." I challenge him to a raging fight by calling him directly with his first name to see his reaction. I smirk when I see his eyes almost glowing. I like this, always loved it.
"Don't spoil the party, Caleb." I wink at him and move back. I turn my still weak self around and trudge to the bar.
"Valpolicella, please." I give my order as I slip into a bar stool.
"Italian?" The red haired bartender tries to start a conversation and being aware of the fact that Caleb is still around watching me with some other enemies, I pick it up.
"Half caste." I answer as he takes out a bottle of the wine and a wine glass. He helps to tear its tab and pours some for me. "You're pretty." He complements and I smile. I've always been pretty but I keep my ego down. This is a human, not some fucking werewolf or vampire.
"Thanks." I tell him and take the glass as he turns his attention to another customer. I lift the glass to my mouth and gulp the whole content down. I plop the glass on the bar and glance around the party. It's booming and filled, obviously not just with human, but also with immortals. Vampires. Werewolves. Hybrids. Alphas. And a few witches. What a party! And looking around, I can tell the fact that I ain't the hottest here. Would've enjoyed being but with vampires and witches and humans too. And damn, the party's filled with illegitimate acts making me wonder if Zia is safe.
A twinge of feeling hits me and I feel my wolf suddenly awaking, fighting against the wolfsbane effect. Excitement. Anxiety. Not because it's full moon, but because of something. That feeling strikes me again making me look around. That feeling only means one thing: my mate is here, right in the fucking party! I turn around and my eyes catch his gaze on me. Black orbs, full brows, dark hair, pierced ears, tattooed arm, cute moustache and stubble. Mate, my human mate! The hell, why would I be mated to a human?! Damnit, and a hot one. My wolf starts to spur me to grab him and kiss him already but I don't. I hate this moment... I, the most respected female alpha getting mated to one weak human. Not even a fucking beta... What's that?
I snap my eyes away from him and fighting against my wolf, I turn around and grab my bottle of wine. No doubt, I am feeding myself with alcohol 'til I get wasted tonight. But do werewolves ever get wasted? And an alpha? That'll surely be my question to answer.
-
The first thing that greets me when I open my eyes is the bright morning sun rays and that feeling of having an hangover. Being tired! Alcohol is a poison and hangover is a disease. Werewolves are immune to poison, not so immune to disease so that means my wolf will only start the healing process now that I'm awake.
And where the fuck am I?! I don't remember getting drunk last night nor do I remember closing my eyes. Abducted? La fucking Caleb?!
"Good morning." I hear and alarmed, I jerk to my feet jumping out of the bed. But I see a wrinkled old lady. Who is she?
"Where am I?" I demand, glancing down at her outfit. She's dressed like a... A palace maid?! Where the hell is this place?! And this room... I didn't disappear back to the 19s, did I?
"You spent the night here. Master asked me to bring you these clothes." And I realize, I am bare. Fucking naked! Oh, shit. And master? You don't want to tell me I was taken advantage of by one creature. I should be in my fucking office, working on some fucking thing right now, not in this fucking place! Forgive me, I'm a big time curser! I grab the materials from old nonne and she bows before walking away. I watch her disappear through a door and shut the door behind her. I turn back to the low mattress I had found myself on and drop the clothes. I slip my body into it and it's a white gown, a barely fitting one. I brush my hair to the back with my hands. And without footwears on, I walk out of the room through the door old nonne had taken. It leads to a hallway and a staircase. Descending the stairs, the first thing I sight is that naked back and that familiar tattooed arm with sagging shorts. Hot penned bums, fuck! Old nonne's master?
"Good morning." His voice is deep and heavily built, strapping, showing his dominance and superiority over every other thing that exists in the room. Of course, he should be the master of the house. But not only the master of the house... My wolf starts spurring me to consume the whole of him in bed already and even my human body starts reacting to the heat between us. But I bet he barely feels something.
"It's Cinque Terre."WTF! Cinque Terre, in Italy?! Is he fucking kidding me right now?! Tell me he's joking. But then, I can hardly doubt that. To begin with, I don't even know how and for how many hours I slept. I mean what the hell is he to get my unconscious self here, and without my consent?! But even before I can talk, he spins around on his feet and throws a bag to me. It almost bumps into my face, but then, it narrowly misses me and falls beside me.
"Get dressed in that, we're going for hiking." Say what?! Who the hell orders a Luna that way?! Sure, he doesn't even knows who I am. And I'm still trying to guess who the fuck is before me. Wait... One mafia Lord or what?! But then, I'm Luna, alpha Deluna Hansen of Crystal Promise pack, not an ordinary human and it won't take me a minute to waste his life!
"Well," I begin and stop, a smirk playing on my lips as I stride to him, slowly, swaying my hips in the oversized gown. I'm going to teach him a bitter lesson that'll leave him shivering for days, with my words. I hate the fact that I'm being mated to a human, but killing my mate would only bring disarray to my reputation. I stop when I reach him and I lay my hands on his perfect, naked abs. Perfect? Even more than perfect, hot!
"You don't know me, darling."I say, looking up and trying to intimidate him with my stare while I turn my fingers to claws. Just a bruise won't hurt, will it?
"Not human. Werewolf. Alpha of Crystal Promise pack. Deluna Hansen. 23, and powerful." He says and even before I can pierce my nails into his skin, he captures them in a hand. Wait... How does he knows all that?! He's human, I can't be wrong.
"And," he stops and wraps his other arm around me, with his forehead leaning down against mine, he whispers, "You're my mate. Mine."
The alpha spirit in me is weak and the part of my wolf that wants to kiss my mate badly starts to take over. I want to push him away and tell him I would never be mated to a weak human but due to his closeness, I'm too unstable to even control myself.
"Mine alone." He says and brings his face even more closer, letting his nose brush against mine.
Deluna Hansen.But he gives me no time to say another word as he pulls away and glares down at me. "Wear the dress already. We're going for hiking, Alpha." That wasn't the least nice but then, he'd add a little respect by calling me Alpha. And even if I was going to protest, there was no way he would listen to it because he left the room just as the words left his mouth. And hiking doesn't sound bad, quite romantic! Except for the fact that I'm kidnapped here in Cinque Terre, all the damned way from New York, by a human mate. I turn around and walk to where he had dumped the bag. I pick it up and make my way upstairs again."You haven't tell me where the hell we're going and it's been minutes since we've been walking past this deserted route!" I rant at my human mate. I hate this_ being controlled by one human. It doesn't make sense, even to me, that almighty alpha obediently hikes with a human. But then, I need to make peace with my m
Deluna Hansen."What about your marriage with Ms Williams? When it's going to be?""Marriage?" I wrinkle my brows as I try to grasp in the meaning of that word. His marriage with one Ms Williams? WTH, my mate is getting married! He turns his gaze to me but takes it away immediately. Whatever his old man says is true, he's getting happily married soon! But how dare he...?!" Let's not talk about that now, Elio. We should have dinner already." He rasps out, shunning his old man and I bite my lips. Seriously? My wolf is starting to get hurt... He's getting married."Sure, but she called me last night and asked if...""Elio!" The old man almost flinches as he shuts up and gawks at the table. "Sorry." He lets out and urges, "Let's have lunch already, it's Mary's best."But I would rather calm myself down than sit and have a meal while trying to accept the fact that my hot human
Deluna Hansen."What were you saying, alpha?" His voice is mocking, of my relented self and I hate it that I'm unable to control my feelings with him. When he brings his face even more closer, I dock mine to the back and can't be more glad when he releases me." Speak up, Luna. I have something to attend to." Wow, he even knows my name! So damn perfect." I want to go back to New York." No, that sounds stupid, just like I'm really a subject of his. After thinking of a better rephrase, I open my mouth and talk, "Take me back to New York."That wasn't a better rephrase but at least, the tone was better and it should do for it. I never made a request, that was a command.He sighs and moves back. "Too bad, I won't be listening to your command. There's a reason I brought you here to Italy and if we aren't going to find out that reason, then none of us is getting out of this place either." Wit
Deluna Hansen.He pulls away and for the first time, he feeds me one of his smiles, "Missed me already, Luna?"I frown at the familiar pride lacing in his voice and I move back, "Well, I didn't. You walked out after depriving me of my right to get back to my family. I mean who the hell does that?!" I snap, being careful to use the word 'family' instead of 'pack'.He chuckles and says, "No other man than the man standing right before you, of course! Oh Luna..." But hearing his name called from the other room by either his old man or Mary gets him distracted and he abandons his sentence just to go meet his caller. I watch him disappear through the kitchen's door and turn around when Summer won't stop clearing her throat noisily. When I turn my attention to her, she wears that naughty smirk and leans closer as if to say something, "C'è qualcosa tra voi ragazzi, Zia?"Damn, what the he
Deluna Hansen."You look hot." My mate tells me causing an appreciating smile on my lips and causing my wolf to react happily. "Grazie." I tell him with the most sweetest voice I can fake in the moment. And I urge him once more, "Let's get going already.""Tell me about the party?" I demand the moment he drives out into the road and he throws me a short glimpse before speaking up, "It's the kind of party you should like, that type of party where most of its attendants are binded by hatred, mock and contempt.""That type of party that'll likely end up in a fight and earn me a new opponent." I correct him and he nods. But something hits me again, something rather important and I turn my gaze at him. "What'll you be doing at such party?""Because you think I'm human and weak?" He retaliates and I bite my bottom lip, trying to contain my anger within myself. No one dares answer my question with a q
Deluna Hansen.When I pull away, I'm surprised when I see those fangs and eyes similar to that of Damien. Vamp! What the hell, I wasn't so crazy as to kiss a vampire, was I?! Damn me, twice! He smirks at my expression and winks before walking off. My wolf starts to scold me and curse me about kissing another man that's not my mate, and especially a rival creature.It wasn't my fault, only if my mate didn't have to annoy me so much. Well, I try to think that way but deep down, I'm bothered... Bothered about the reason behind the smirk the vampire held! What if he's gonna harm me or my pack? Or he needed a kiss from me to make a spell?! Hell, no! What was I thinking?! And why the hell did I suddenly go so soft to allow a human rule over me?! Seriously, where the hell has my alpha self gone?! Just where the hell?! I tense when I feel those hot breathe fan my neck and that very familiarly fascinating scent hits me as my wolf's mood becomes enlig
Deluna Hansen.The bright sun rays are the first thing that greets me the moment I blink my lids open. I groan and roll over to the other side of the surface with little light, with my eyes still closed."Awake?" His husky voice turns out to be the first melody I'll listen to in the day and it only brings me memory of our hot lovemaking last night... Lovemaking?! Oh now, that's the wrong word but I definitely don't know what to call it. There was foreplay! My wolf starts to chuff for the fact that it had an intense contact with its mate. Well, I haven't mark him yet but lastnight was surely enough to bribe that from it for the while."Morning," he greets me as I sit up, grabbing the duvet as a cover for my naked chest, "how are you?" Worries? He isn't kidding me right now, is he?! I'm Alpha... Why should he expect me to feel pain after fucking the whole night? And to say, that wasn't even my first time.
Deluna Hansen.Ever since I spent the first night here, I knew he didn't really like me but I never thought he would be so furious as to poison my breakfast. And now, I'm beginning to wonder why he has to use the wolfsbane. You aren't going to tell me he knows about me not being human? No. Trying to think he knows about me being a wolf is just as stupid as it sounds. My mate wouldn't turn foolish and cruel to inform another human that I ain't one of them. Or you wouldn't tell me that he's just as sensible and smart as my mate so it shouldn't be a wonder if he knows I'm a wolf. Now, that's even more of a crap. But putting that asides,I just found out (that) that buddy would do anything just to get rid of me. Even commit murder. And he's quite the smart type. That is to tell me I don't have to trust him with anything, not even with my mate. But this_his murdering attempt_ is remaining a secret between him and I. Forever.I sigh and stand
