DIMITRI "It's fine. I am here now." These are the words I whisper to Lynexia's ear as she shivers uncontrollably in my arms, her fragile body, flushed against mine, her delicate hands barely wrapped around me as if afraid that I might disappear. Her breath has steadied and the tangible fear I smelt on her from earlier has diminished slightly. If today proves anything, it is that I will do anything humanly possible for this woman in my embrace. The love of my life. My Luna. My queen. I will burn the world to the ground just to protect her. I will destroy anything and everything that hinders her path. Today, she wakes up a beast inside of me and he doesn't have a limit he won't go for her. We are on the wet ground, the blood on my hands smeared her shoulder where I gently pat her. After a long stretched moment with me humming into Lynexia's ear while she curls in my arms, she finally raises her from my body enough to meet my gaze. She splays over my shoulder for support. T
LYNEXIA The moment Dimitri steps out of the bathroom, the silence tightens around me like a vise. The men' voices rushes into ny head, haunting me. The memories of what happened threatens to drown me over. Their hands groping me, their slimy eyes roaming around my body, and their cackles when I scream for help. I can't seem to get it—them out get away no matter what I do. I cover my ears but I still hear them throbbing deep inside of me. I shut my eyes but I still see their glassy eyes at the back of my eyelids. I feel their touches no matter how hard scrub my skin to the point of leaving welts. Tears clouds my vision, trickling down my cheeks. I'm in a great state of despair. I don't know these men from anywhere yet they do such inhumane things to me. They would have gone further if it wasn't for Dimitri that saved me. Not that it makes anything better but I'm thankfully he showed up in time. I don't think I would be able to live with myself if they had sex with me force
LYNEXIA As Julianne opens the door, her eyes meet mine, and I see the guilt from the other day etched clearly on her face. Her eyes are swollen as if she's been crying. I manage a small smile. "Hey." "Hey." Her voice sounds hoarse probably from all the crying. Her lips tremble as she curves them into a smile. "Can I come in?" I gesture inside. This is awkward. I never need permission to enter Julianne's house because I grew up here but after what happened between us that day, things are meant to be uncomfortable. As I walk into the house, Julianne follows me closely from behind. I take a deep breath and turn to face her. We lock eyes for a moment before she speaks. "I was actually making a meal for you." She says with a light voice, trying to diffuse the tension between us. "I was going to bring it to you as an apology gift. Didn't expect to see you here." She attempts a weak laughter at the end. "I assume it's a feast." My voice edges along the line of sarcasm. "
LYNEXIA My heart races as Dimitri's black SUV grinds to a halt in front of Julianne's house. The engine's sound fades replaced by deafening silence. Dimitri emerges from the car, his face tensed with worry and his muscles taut beneath his shirt. He is followed by a man swathed in protective gear from head to toe. Not an inch of his skin is visible to my eyes. Dimitri's light blue jeans and grey shirt are stained with black ink that matches the smudges on his face and hands. As I race towards him to meet him in the middle, he raises a hand and warns. "Don't come close, I may be infected." "That makes the two of us," I say, throwing my arms around his shoulder. His fabric cools against my cheek a stark contrast to his familiar warmth surrounding me. His breath caresses the scalp of my head. When we pull apart he asks. "Are you okay?" I nod. Concern lines his features, but he doesn’t pry further into my well-being. "Where is she?" I understand without context who
LYNEXIA Just like Dimitri said yesterday, we left for the Moonstone pack early this morning. The whole drive is tense and neither of us exchanged more than two words throughout. Dimitri seems to be lost in thought as he drives us to Moonstone pack and I don't try to interrupt his thought process. There are some things that he would like to get through with alone and this is one of them. Besides, trying to make him feel better will seem like an almost fruitless effort with everything that is going on. Saying that everything will be fine is a big lie because, at this juncture, I don't think I'm sure of how this dire situation will turn out. Not to talk of him being an Alpha and having to watch things go down the hill. It fills even me with guilt and I'm not the Alpha so I wonder how Dimitri will feel about this. But I show him that he isn't alone in this by intertwining my fingers with his. The way he squeezes onto it as his life depends on it is a good indicator that I did
LYNEXIA The moment Elena and I walk out of Dimitri's presence and into a room, the fake facade Elena has on her face falls. Elena sits on a chair while I take the one opposite from it. There is something eager about her today. She still despises me but it is like she is excited about something. Whatever it is that she wants to tell, she can't wait for me to hear it. "What is this about?" I make my voice sound as neutral as possible. Elena smirks, crossing her arms over her chest. "I don't have time for this game you are trying to play Elena. Say what you have to say." The words rush out of my mouth. I don't have anything against Elena as much as she hates me but being in the same room as her for more than a minute makes my inside churn. "Trust me, you have all the time for what I am about to say." She says calmly unlike how agitated she used to seem in my presence. I roll my eyes standing to my feet. "Of course. My bad for thinking you have anything better to say." I
DIMITRI When Lynexia walks out of the room. Her face is ghostly pale and her knuckles are bruised. Overall, she looks shaken like she's seen a ghost. I rush to her in panic, taking her hands in mine to inspect the wound. "Are you okay?" It seems to be healing slowly but still, something must have happened in the room with Elena. Her face is distant and she doesn't answer me. "Lynexia," I call her softly then more urgently before she jolts out of her trance. Her eyes dart around in confusion before she meets mine. "What is wrong?" I ask. "Huh?" She says, dazed before she shakes her head slightly. "Nothing." She murmurs in a distant voice. "Did Elena hurt you?" I say as my anger simmers to the surface. I swear on goddess if Elena is the reason Lynexia's knuckles are bruised, I will drag her head through the mud without giving a flying fuck that she is a woman. "No." Her lips pull into a forced smile. It looks natural but I know Lynexia too well. I can see thro
DIMITRI I groan. "Huh uh." She bites her lower lip seductively. "Yeah." Her hand squeezes me harder. My head falls backward, pleasure already clouding my thoughts. Lynexia takes my hand and leads me to the couch, pushing me down onto it. I fall easily onto it. Our eyes lock as she sinks to her knees, her fingers reaching deftly to my zipper. As she pulls it down, my cock springs out, thick and hard, slapping against my abs. Lynexia licks her lips greedily, her lustful eyes on me. "You want this?" I grumble as I wrap my hand around my thick girth before moving it up and down my length. She nods eagerly, her breath quickening. "Say it." "I want to take your cock in my mouth, Alpha. I want to taste it. I want to taste you." Fuck, Lynexia saying the sluttiest words with the sweetest voice while looking at me with the prettiest fuck-me eyes undo every part of me. "Take it, it's yours." As I let go of my cock, it slaps on my abs again Lynexia salivates a
