The Luna Pt 1

~12~

She ogled at the man in his black three-piece suit that was a little bit tight around his broad shoulders. The mirror wasn’t even justifying enough how good he actually looked. 

“You couldn’t stay down, huh?” She teased him to bring herself back to earth. Ace, who was lingering at the door, sauntered inside the room with a lop-sided grin. “I couldn’t. You see, I'm an impatient man. Especially when it comes to you.” Ace hid the fact that her words brought him up here like a fucking magnet. Yes, he heard her. Minsi chuckled as she watched him walk over to her. When he heard her speak of looking forward to their night together, he was shocked. And then, I was happy to hear that she felt exactly how he felt for her. He was rejoicing that they were on the same page. He doubts Minsi was even aware that, as an Alpha, he was capable of hearing voices even if they were miles away from him. And hers turned out to be the object of his attention lately.

He only stopped when he was standing a breath away behind her. Then, without a warning, he swept her hair to one side. He gently let them cascade at her front and exposed her back to him. He leaned down, but instead of using his hands to zip up the dress, he held the zipper in between his teeth and slowly, torturously slid it up. Minsi’s heartbeats spiked, feeling his cold lips graze her back and make her skin come alive. This man was making her lose her mind, and she wasn’t even complaining. He has turned the simple act of zipping her dress up to feel like a foreplay for an impending erotic action that he’d promised earlier. 

Ace places open-mouth kisses on the upper part of her back, right where the zipper ended. She shivered, and a shudder escaped her lips. “You look gorgeous, Minsi.” He whispered in her ear as they both gazed at their reflections in the mirror before them. “Thank you. You look nice yourself, but we probably should get going.” She suggested that before she could let her intrusive thoughts win, she would rip off her dress and pounce on him like a hungry beast.

“Right,” Ace chuckled, making her eyes widen in horror. Could he possibly hear my thoughts? She thought to herself. Ace chuckled once more and pulled away, threaded their hands together, and ushered her outside. God! Could he hear me or not? I hope not!

On their way to the pack house, she admired the streets because this was her first time witnessing them. There were tall buildings and small buildings. Some of them are offices and some are residents. Malls and shops. Diners, bars, clubs, and restaurants. Schools and colleges. Gardens. A huge hospital. Ace explained everything to her. But she hasn’t seen a soul passing or walking by. Making her even more nervous than before. She knew everyone was at the pack house by now, waiting for her. “Relax, sweetheart. I’m here.” And as he could read her mind, he caught hold of her hand and brought it to his lips and kissed it, before setting it on the console between them.

Minsi admired how he drove with a single hand at ease. Focused and relaxed. He looked joyous with an unmistakable glint in his eyes. The fact that the man was happy and wasn’t even trying to hide from her made her almost want to cry. She was the happiest to have him. And now her mind kept telling her that she deserved it. For all the hardships that she went through in the past, this was like a breath of fresh air. Finally, things were going right for her. Finally, it wasn’t only a dream, but she was living the reality of it. In a short period of time, this man had proven that it could be real and not only a dream for her. She turned her face to the window and wiped at the corners of her eyes before the tears could fall and ruin the moment. Or rather, the cool makeup that she spent her effort to wear. 

Ace pulled up before a tall glass building, “We're here, sweetheart.” He then turned to face her. “Are you ready?” Minsi looked at the building, and she could see a small number of people waiting, and then back at the man. She took a deep breath and released it. “Yeah.” Despite the pounding in her chest, she braved her fears and even managed to smile at him. She knew this was her life now. The life that she always wanted, so she wasn’t going to play about it. Smiling back at her, Ace stepped out of the car, rounded it, and came to get her door. “Let’s go.” Minsi took his hand as he helped her down, and together they made their way to the group of people. 

“Oh, look who is here. The whipped Alpha,” Finn blurted, a teasing smile played on his face as the rest of the people turned to face them. “Shut up, Finn.” Ace shot him a glare, but his second Alpha and brother-in-law only laughed at him in return. “Godness, she is beautiful. Good job, bro.” Said Rachel, fist-bumping her big brother proudly before shoving him off Minsi’s side and standing there instead. “Rachel,” Ace warned his little sister. “Shush, bro.” Rachel waved off his brother and focused on Minsi. Both Finn and Rachel were the source of his headache. One was his younger sister, and the other, well, second Beta turned brother-in-law. A.k.a Little hellions.
