Chapter 4

'I LET HIM TOUCH ME!' 

Fiona held her still swollen lips, she couldn't stop thinking about the kiss they shared and the way his hand caressed her womanhood made her feel so different.

It's been a long time since she felt that kind of pleasure. It's been three years and with a single touch of Joaquin, the heat inside her seems to wake up. 

She let out a sigh and looked outside, the sun was high up the vast sky when Joaquin left her, now it was dark and the moon lit up. She wanted to blame herself for giving in to her husband's brother but her body reacted comfortably.

It was as if her body was ready to receive more from him.

She shook her head and decided to wipe those memories away. She should be thinking of her fate, her husband, and how she'll be able to start living again.

After her husband died, all the blame was thrown to her which she gladly accepted. She shut everyone out and mourn by herself. And she's already tired doing the same pattern every single day. She wants to work, make money of her own and buy things she's been wanting to as a homeless kid.

"I should get some fresh air." She huffed and went out of the cabin. Wearing a white lingerie dress that hugged her thin body perfectly.

The trees and plants was relaxing her, it was a mix of peace and havoc inside her. She remembered how Franco died at the woods, he was tormented by rogues and she wasn't able to help him. 

"But blaming myself would make you alive, right?" She picked a stem of rose and give it a single kiss. "We could've raised a good child." She caressed her flat stomach as the memories of her miscarriage surge through her. 

Two months after Franco's death, their unborn child followed. It feels like everything that she has dreamed off slowly became a nightmare. No one knew about her miscarriage, she never had the courage to receive more hate and blaming. 

She was a coward.

"I'm so sorry," a lone tear escaped her eyes. She was crying under the full moon, quietly wishing to the moon goddess to give her the life she finally deserve. "I'm tired of being lonely and weak, please give me another reason to live. Please give me someone who I can share my happiness with." She murmured.

A whole silence invaded the place, the wind sought her pale skin, keeping her at serene and at bay.

Not until she heard something rustling from the bushes. Her body immediately trembled as her eyes followed where the sounds were coming from. She couldn't see anything, not even a shadow that's lingering around her.

Her heart beats so fast, her eyes settled at the red rose she was holding as it's petal started to fall and change its color to black. She immediately let go of the rose but was shock when a fast pace of wind run towards her direction.

Her eyes met a dark black eyes, locking and staring at her intently. The fur of the wolf was ash of grey, his long and sharp claws dig into her shoulders as he hover on top of her. 

"S-stop... please," her voice came out weak as she give all her strength to push the large wolf away. 

But her human strength was nothing compared to them, her eyes were clouded with tears. She wanted to scream for her but her lips were sealed with fear. Joaquin would be the last person she wanted to ask help for. 

But ironically, her mind was calling him to save her.

'Joaquin.'

THE NIGHT FALLS Joaquin was inside Aiden's room, they are both naked as they sip into their wine glass. The she-wolves were serving them after the wild and rough sex.

His eyes were still grim, his jaw was still clenching and his hand was still fisted into a ball. He thought having sex with another she-wolf would take her out of his thought.

But damn he's so wrong. Having sex with another she-wolf made him feel guilty. It made him feel like he's cheating towards Fiona even after proving to himself that she's still in love with his brother.

"You're starting not to look normal, brother. You act so different." Aiden started while looking at him calmly, watching his every reaction. "Spill it."

Joaquin didn't want to tell anyone about he feel, he's an Alpha and he shouldn't be feeling guilty or miserable. 

Letting out a deep sigh, he angrily throw the glass on the nearest wall before huffing and meeting his best friends eyes who didn't even flinch at what he did.

Aiden was already expecting that.

"I fucking kissed my brothers wife, there, happy?" His voice was cold and sarcastic but it didn't fail to make Aiden smile.

"Damn, bro, you're starting to sound like your father." He snort but it only made Joaquin's anger doubled.

He never wanted to be his father, and being compared to him is like telling him that he's a coward. And he is not, he is strong and fearful, he's merciless and ruthless. 

"She was moaning my brothers name as we kiss. And it sucks you know?" He opened up slowly, giving it a light chuckle even if it was hurting him.

Yes it does, only the moon goddess know how long he's been waiting to have Fiona on his own. He loved his brother so much but he was ready to take her from him in another circumstances.

Ever since the very first time he laid an eyes on her, she was a little kid back then, at the orphan. He already want to mark her as his but he knows it was prohibited so he waited. But those years of waiting didn't work out when Franco won her first. 

He stopped the urge from taking her away from his brother.

"Why don't you try to seduce her? You know, bring back what's yours in the first place." 

Joaquin wanted to do it badly, "he hates every inch of me, Aiden. He can't even look at me without fear in her eyes." He didn't know how many times he sighs.

After a few more minutes of thinking deeply, he finally got up from the bed, letting the blanket fell on the floor to reveal his god-like body. The she-wolves feast on his nakedness but he didn't heed them a single attention. He went out of the room and watch the full moon shine above them.

He immediately shifted into his werewolf and run towards the wild. He planned to go back to their pack mansion but his own paw was taking him back to the old cabin. He wanted to check on her for the last time.

As he run towards the woods, he can feel a crazy presence as the cabin came nearer and nearer. His brows knotted when he didn't see any Fiona inside the old house. The door was open and the eerie presence was near him.

'Shit, a rogue!'

He run towards the depth of the forest, following Fiona's scent that he never once forgotten. He stopped when he saw a dark black wolf hovering on top of an unconscious Fiona. Her fragile body was full of scratches, her arm was even broken while the wolf slowly lick her wounds.

Joaquin shifted back to his normal human form, taking the wolf's attention to him.

"What did you do to her?" His teeth gritted just seeing her hurt. 

The wolf also shifted into his human, a grin was plastered over his face when the Alpha who he's been waiting was finally here. "You see, I'm a little hungry." The wolf chuckle while looking at Fiona. "A human would be a great meal for us werewolves–"

"For a rogue. Our kinds don't eat human flesh." He started to cut him off. "And she's not a human, she's wolfless." 

He wanted to take Fiona away from him, the rogue was surely consuming all his time and he don't have time for their senseless conversation. He took a step closer, making the rogue take a step back.

He smirked on his own and continue his slow pace until he was standing right in front of Fiona. 

'How dare them hurt this goddess.' 

He said in his thoughts, pertaining to Fiona. She's the only beauty who can attract him in any way, even when she was married to his brother and they decided to live at the pack mansion, he knew every inch of his body reacted to any of her actions. 

Let her be talking or cleaning the floor, the desire and lust to take her was too strong for him to handle. He just knew she had that effect of him that he can't get rid off.

His lively and adoring eyes settled on Fiona before it sent dagger look to the rogue. "Now what do you need?" 

The rogue had a crazy smile, he hid it under the shadow so he couldn't see exactly how he looks. "Nothing really, I just want to check on her." 

Joaquin's eyes squinted in curiousness and slowly approach his direction. He wanted to know who this rogue was, he wanted to know what he wants from Fiona that could lead her life at risk.

"Who are you?" He asked again when the rogue quickly shifted into a wolf, preventing him from looking closely.

The rogue didn't said a word and left him wordless, not because of what he did, but because of the necklace that's the same as his. The rogue was wearing it on his neck and the only person he knew who had the same necklace as him was...

"Franco."
