CHAPTER ONE

Solara's POV

“That was one hell of a sex,” I said, my eyes fixed on Lucas as he stepped out of the bathroom. Beads of water rolled down his body, his cock was still a little hard and dangled between his legs.

Fuck… my pussy tingled so much that it hurts. Even though he had just finished fucking me moments ago, I want more of his thick shaft, pounding inside me, while wrapping his hands tightly around my neck, or spanking my ass so hard until it's hurt.

Yeah… I love the pain, it makes me wetter. But Lucas would never do that. He would insist that it isn't proper and that a man who truly loves his woman would never treat her like that. And it makes me wonder if he loves me by any chance.

Lucas thinks I need to seek help from a therapist to get over my dark fantasies. But I think I'm okay though.

My eyes were fixed on the hard cock and I swallowed hard—hungrily—like a starved beast who sees his prey but it's caged.

“You're drooling, Lara,” Lucas sneered, his voice mocking. 

I snapped my head up at him, and my lips curled into a smile. “Yeah… probably because I still want it,” I admitted, winking at him. “I want to lick off the water with my tongue.“

He didn't reply immediately. He just took a slow, deliberate step towards me. “Come and lick it off then.“ 

Thank Goddess… I didn't waste time at all. In a swift movement, I threw the duvet off me and jumped out of the bed, my heavy breasts jingling. I stepped in front of him, and dropped to my knees with my acrylic nails digging into his thighs.

I looked up at him and oh lord... this man is too beautiful to behold. A set of stormy grey eyes. A sharp jawline that is so perfect. Skin so smooth like that of a fairy. He is perfection and the Goddess must have sculpted him on the most happiest day of her life.

Alpha. Lucas. Blackwood

Alpha of the Mooncrest Pack. He is the youngest Alpha in the Northern province, the golden boy of the Mooncrest college and the ice hockey captain.

How I wish he was mine.

Fully mine.

Unfortunately, he isn't. But soon—in six months time—he would become MINE and I don't have to hid my feelings anymore.

My name is Solara Hale, twenty-years-old, wolfless Omega from the Duskwatch Pack—a small pack in the Northern Province— a sophomore student studying Herbs and Herbalife major at the Mooncrest College and a member of the cheerleading team. 

Lucas smiled and pressed his hand playfully on my face. “Stop looking at me like that, Lara,” he rasped, his voice so smooth that it's stroked my left nipples. He grabbed the base of his cock. “Now, suck me.“

“With all pleasure, my Alpha,” I replied in a sultry tone. 

I pressed my thumb on the pink tip and stroke him gently, slowly. His cock became hard, thick, veined.

Fuck… the sensation went straight to my pussy and I quickly clasped my thighs together to stop the tingling down there.

A growl rolled out of Lucas' throat as he threw his head back. “Quit teasing me, Lara and take the fucking cock in your mouth,” he snarled and his hands fisted into my hair.

I tilted my head forward, parted my lips and—

“Beep. Beep.“

The loud ringing of his phone shattered the moment and I pulled back a little.

“Fuck,” he cursed in irritation, the veins on his cock more visible. He left my hair and stepped away, moving towards the bed stand. “It's better be someone important,” he raged.

I remained on my knees, managing a small smile. He is so cute and sexy when he is angry. 

“Hello,” he said in a soft tone that surprised me. He was so angry minutes ago. I guess it's someone important. 

“Wow!“ He roared happily, clenching his fists. “I will get everything ready. Thank you.“ He ended the call.

I smiled. That must be good news. I rarely see him laugh like this—even when I'm with him. 

My eyes furrowed in surprise when I saw him walking towards the couch and gathering his clothes, instead of returning to finish what we had started.

Then when he started throwing on his briefs, I couldn't keep quiet anymore. “I'm still waiting, Lucas.“

Lucas turned back at me with a bored expression. He didn't say anything and just walked past me towards the drawer below the bedstand, opened it and retrieved a brown envelope.

“Here,” he said, extending the envelope to me. “We're breaking off the contract earlier than stated,” he said casually like I didn't matter. “Nyra broke up with her boyfriend and she is coming back to me. She is ready to finally accept our mate bond.“

The words roared in my ears like a bad music playing on a loop. My heart cracked open. My body trembled. My knees buckled, and I stumbled on the cold floor.

Finally, the man that I hoped was mine just minutes ago would be taken away from me.

Lucas was in love with his childhood best friend and fated mate, Nyra Brooks. But of course, Nyra was in love with someone else, the powerful Alpha of the Blue Moon Pack. She doesn't believe in mate bond either.

A year ago, she rejected Lucas as her mate and moved to the Blue Moon Pack, but Lucas won't stop chasing after her. He believes so much in fated mates and he didn't mind waiting for her until she realises that they were meant to be together.

Six months ago, he asked that I become his secret contract lover for a year, and then if Nyra didn't come back to him, he would stop waiting for her and move on. I had expected that she won't come back and he would fully become mine…..

But she is back now. 

“Take it, Lara,” he said, his urgent voice drawing me out of my thoughts. “Nyra will be here next month and I need to start preparing for her come back.“

Tears blurred my eyes but I forced it not to spill. I glanced up at him, but still I couldn't see the man from moments ago. Who I saw is a man who can't wait to get rid of me and welcome the woman he had always loved.

“Wow,” I choked out despite the tightening in my throat. “So she is back and you can't wait to get rid of me, huh?“ I didn't realise when the words spilled out of my lips.

“But we talked about this.“ Sure it was stated in the contract that he can call it off anytime he wanted. “Wait…” his eyes narrowed. “Don't tell me you're already catching feelings for me.“

Catching feelings?

Of course, I have always loved him since two years ago—the very day the Alpha was welcoming the scholarship students. The moment I saw him, I realised that he was all I wanted, and when his hands brushed against mine in an handshake, I knew…. he was the man I wanted to take my virginity.

That was why I didn't even think twice when he proposed the deal. I saw it as the Moon Goddess answering my prayers, maybe in a different approach. I held onto the belief that soon—very soon—in the course of our contract, he would realise that I was good for him.

Summoning all the strength inside me, I forced myself and stood, fixing him a gaze. “Of course, not,” I said, making sure my voice doesn't tremble. “I'm just so happy and relieved that we are ending the contract earlier. It's been a hassle—being your dirty little secret.“

Something I couldn't really fathom flashed briefly in his eyes. Pain? Regret? Annoyance?

“Just sign this,” he said, his voice carrying a hint of hurt. “And of course, it won't affect your reward. That was why you gave yourself up for me in the first place." He gritted his teeth. "You gold digger.“

Gold digger?

It's just a single word, but it felt like his claws reached into my heart and ripped it apart. Rage coursed through me, and my hands shot out and connected to his face in a sharp and resounding slap.

'Pa!'
