4. Searching For My Luna

**Kian**

I was left standing in the middle of the forest. I didn't even get the chance to tell her that she was my mate. She'll figure it out once she sees her mark. The overwhelming desire to claim her overpowered me. I marked her without her consent, and she's probably pissed right now. I have to find her. Yesterday, I left everyone behind; my sole focus was her. My mate already has me wrapped around her little finger. Right now, I am trying to manage about four mind-link conversations simultaneously to get up to date with yesterday's events.

“Rusty, I want you to find everything you can about the woman I left with last night.”

“Got it, Alpha.”

I need to find her and bring her home with me. Dad will have a heart attack when he finds out my mate is a witch.

“Did everyone make it back home safely, River?”

“Yes, Kian, where the hell were you last night?”

“I found my mate.”

“What?! That's excellent news! The Alpha King will be thrilled!”

“Well, about that. She's a witch, and I don't know where she's at. Get someone to bring my bike home. I left it at the penthouse in the city. Meet me at our regular meeting point.”

“Yes, Alpha.”

I closed my eyes, reminiscing about everything I experienced last night. My mate is stunning. Now I need to find her.

“Poison, how are things at the pack?”

“The King has been asking for you, Alpha.”

“I will stay a couple of days in the city, inform him.”

“Will do, Alpha.”

I gave orders to check the situation at the building where I left my motorbike. Soon after, I was picked up at the forest's edge and dropped off at the werewolf diner in Moonstone Town. River was already waiting for me, sporting the biggest mocking grin.

“What's with the stupid grin?” I asked, noting how it only grew wider.

“I just got Rusty's report about your mate.”

My heart skipped a beat.

“Well, spit it out. I'm impatient here.”

“Why did your mate leave you in the forest, Kian?”

“She is eighteen. She was probably in trouble back home. The sooner I find her, the sooner I can take her home where she belongs.”

“Technically, that would be impossible.” He produced a thick report and dropped it on the table.

“What do you mean?” I asked, grabbing the report and flipping through the pages.

“Your mate, Kian, she is the next in line for the Witch's Supreme throne. Only one is born every few centuries. Her aunt, Marilla Darkhaven, is over 300 years old and will soon pass the throne to her niece.”

I nearly spilled my coffee all over him and the report.

“Say what?!” I exclaimed, incredulous. Last night, I was so preoccupied with other things that I overlooked the signs. It was her birthday yesterday; the powerful man was chasing after her and the authority with which she carried herself.

“That's right. All of Verona City was celebrating her birthday last night. Her stepfather issued a manhunt when he couldn't find her. They say she's the apple of his eye, and her aunt, the current Supreme Witch, dotes on her. There is no way they will allow you to take her. She would need to renounce her birthright. The problem is that only one Supreme Witch is born every few centuries. They won't let her go.”

I felt like a bucket of cold water had been poured over me. How in the world did the Moon Goddess pair me with her? I scrubbed my face with one hand. She was otherwise perfect—everything I had ever dreamed of.

“I can not give her up. I marked her already. My wolf wants her. I want her.”

“You did what?! Did she give consent for you to mark her?”

“I… it was on a whim. My wolf was still jealous of her stepdad talking to her like he owned her.”

“You ran into Alister Silverlake? Do you know how evil that man is? It's also widely known that he dislikes us werewolves. He’s probably fuming if he already knows you marked her.”

“Why did she have to be their future queen?”

“Well, a queen for a King. Very fitting!" I just rolled my eyes, not finding anything amusing about it.

"What else did you find? Is there any chance I could see her without her family knowing?"

"I don't know if it's wise, Kian. Your father has never liked witches. They play dirty with all their magic tricks, and you will get on the bad side of two more powerful ones. Alister Silverlake and Marilla Darkhaven aren't people you should mess with."

"I'll be the judge of that. Just tell me what you found out." I was already exasperated. I wanted my mate now.

"She studies at a witch institute for the super-rich. He is rather a snob, too. You can't just pay your tuition even if you have the money. They want their students to be from renowned families. The name of the institute is The Hendrix Institute of Witchcraft."

"I will pay her a visit next Monday," I assured him. He huffed mockingly.

"And you think they will just allow you a free pass?"

"I'll figure it out. I have so many questions for her. Do you know what she claims to have met me before? My only guess is that she saw me in Abyss Forest. She took me to where we met with the other packs in our runs. She also said she went to the Wicked Cauldron looking specifically for me."

"What for?"

To pop her cherry. Memories of her writhing with pleasure under me made my cock swell uncomfortably.

"That's between her and me." Should I feel used? She came, took, and disappeared. I would do it all over again, though. She was exquisite. Her skin is so soft. Those creamy breasts are so supple. More than a handful.

"Earth to Kian." River snapped his fingers on my face.

"I won't give her up. The Moon Goddess made her for me for a reason. She is marked now. Every werewolf in her vicinity will know she's their Luna. Her scent should have changed by now."

Finally, Monday came, and I headed to her school. Luckily, the institute is situated at the skirts of Abyss Forest. Since she's marked, I can message her via mind-link to meet me outside. I hid in wolf form near the walls. The vegetation outside was vast, providing me with the cover I needed.

'It's me, Kian. Come outside; I'm in the forest, on the west side of the building.' I know she received the message, so I'll wait. After a few minutes, I heard footsteps and shifted to my human form. I put on the shorts I had carried in my mouth. A few seconds later, my jaw fell open.

She was a vision. She was wearing a white shirt tied at the front. I could see her cute belly button. Her black plaited skirt was impossibly short. She had white thigh-height stockings with a fucking garter belt on and the cutest high heel shoes with a strap across her feet. Does she dress like that every day for school? A surge of jealousy shook me to the core.

"What the fuck are you wearing?" I wanted to sound mad, but my voice came out high-pitched. She crossed her arms and looked at me, annoyed. Her breasts got pushed up, making me stare. She waved at me and pointed at her face.

"Eyes up here, Alpha King." She said icedly.

That caught my attention. She made some delicate movements with her left hand near her neck, revealing my mark. It looked beautiful, regal.

"Care to explain this?"

"Why did you hide it?"

"I'm the next Witch Supreme. I can't go around sporting a werewolf mark on my neck. Why did you mark me? I did not give you my consent. In fact, you didn't even ask? How does this thing go away anyway? I've tried everything, and I could only conceal it."

"I marked you because you are my mate Aminda. That mark will never go away because you're my fated mate. Not even if I die. Unless I mark another she-wolf."

She made a face. She didn't like that. Well, I don't like her hiding my mark.

"I'm not just any werewolf, Aminda. I will be king. I need you as my Luna." She inhaled.

"I have my own kingdom, Kian. It is not like we can unite both. Witches and werewolves have never gotten along. I only looked for you because I wanted to experience something different in my so-normal life."

I got closer to her and grabbed her by the waist.

"I know you've been spying on us every full moon at least for the past 3 months. I felt your eyes on me. You like what you saw, and you went searching for me because you wanted me to fuck you hard and good. You were feeling rebellious, sexy witch, but you got more than you bargained for. Now you belong to me. I don't know how this will work for you, but you're mine now. Fully mated, marked and fucked."

I pressed her fully against my body and plunged my tongue inside her delicious mouth. She didn't fight me. Her hands were all over my body as much as mine were groping all over her soft curves. The scent of her arousal was all I needed to know she was ready for me. Her legs were around my waist as I moved toward the wall and pressed her against it. I freed my erection from my shorts and pulled her panties to the side as I plunged inside her. She moaned, and I stilled, giving her time to adjust. I pressed my forehead against hers. Her eyes were cloudy with desire. I was panting. I kissed her one more time before I began thrusting inside her with an ecstatic and delirious rhythm. I whispered in her ear,' Mine.' She rolled her eyes at me, and I slapped her thigh. She whimpered, and her pussy clenched around my cock. I dropped two more on her butt, and she arched her back. Her pussy was gripping my cock like a glove. "Fuck, your highness. You do have a Supreme pussy." I bit her neck over my mark as she came around my cock. "It feels so good, King, Kian!" I grunted as I came inside her. She was right. It felt so good. She has ruined me for all other women. Not that I want any other after her.

"Your Highness." The voice of a man came from afar. I pulled out of her and helped her get steady on her feet.

"Those are my guards. Kian, please don't look for me again. My family is dangerous. I don't want them to hurt you."

"I'd like to see them try."

"Please don't." She walked away, looking sad. I tried to follow her, but the surroundings turned foggy, making it impossible to see. It's most likely one of her tricks. If she thinks I'm backing down, she is in for a surprise
