Chapter 2 A Kiss Or A Sex?
Keira POV
I rolled my eyes, but I couldn't help noticing how deep and seductive his voice is. I whirled around and blinked, uncertain whether I was dreaming. The man in front of me was gorgeous. He is around 6'5" tall, so I have to look up at him. Instead, his eyes sparkle like sapphires due to his tanned skin and nicely coiffed dark hair. His powerful physique and chest appeared to have been hand-carved by God underneath his white shirt. Instead of letting me imagine his abs in vain, he ought immediately to undo two more buttons so I could see what incredible abs he had.
His prominent cheekbones, sharp chin line, and piercing stare indicated that he is not a male to fool with, I was hesitant if I should tell him my name out of concern that I might get into trouble. My intuition told me that he might is a Beta or Alpha. I tilted my head a little, letting him know that the loud music prevented me from hearing him.
"Don't pretend that you didn't hear what I said, puppy." He said to me with narrowed eyes.
With my fake smile, I nearly became rigid.
Jesus, tell me how he knows! He's like a psychiatrist who reads my mind.
Taking a deep breath, I put my finger on his lips with a smile and said, "Shh, this is our moment, don't talk, don't care about the so-called name." As I came nearer to him, I found it harder to control myself. His woody scent completely overpowered me as I breathed it in. I crane my neck. Heat is what activates perfume, I bet he smelled mine because I heard him gasp.
In the noisy club, but we were getting closer and closer in the most silent screams, he grabbed my waist and locked me tightly in his arms, and I needed to stand on my tiptoes to put my arms around his neck. He lowed his head and our eyes met in the dazzling light, his eyes putting those stars to shame that night.
"I'll call you puppy since you won't tell me your name. Tell me, are you really seducing me?" He licked his lips and said to me in a bass voice.
"What if I say yes? Do you like it?" I nuzzled his nose and bit his chin softly. His arm wrapped around my waist, and there was no distance between us.
He didn't speak but held me harder.
"Would you like to dance with me?" No one realized how badly I wanted to dance with him right now. A hug was not enough for me anymore.
"I believe a kiss or some sex is just what we need right now." He raised his eyebrows and grinned like a devil.
Hearing what he says, I froze, and my lips parted as I took a sharp breath.
What is he saying? Or am I dreaming? Is he serious?
He let go of me when a male suddenly strolled up to us. As this male whispered in his ear, I noticed a change in his eyes, which revealed only cruelty and the desire to kill. Then the male gave me a glance before leaving.
"I have to leave, puppy. Don't let me know you're flirting with someone else...or I will punish you." He kept his voice low-pitched and spanked me.
I was about to shout, but before I could protest, he took off in stride...
What the hell! I can't believe there is a male who could be arrogant like him! Although he is so enchanting. What does he mean? He can't do anything even if I flirt with other males, because we might never meet each other again. I put one finger in the air to express my appreciation for his stupidity.
I sat next to Lynede with my eyelids drooping. Lynede chaffed me while gazing at the expression on my face and pushed a glass to me, "Hey, what's up, Keira? Where is the gorgeous man you were holding earlier? Don't tell me that..."
"Lynede, he is a jerk! I was the only person on the dance floor without a dance partner when he left! You know what, I stood like a fool! I will punch him if I see him again." I waved my fist.
"It seems that he did something to irritate you. By the way, do you know our new Alpha? It is said that he is our pack's newest dreamboat at the moment." She gave me a wink while being enigmatic and said.
"No, Louis never talk about these with me. Tell me more about our new Alpha." I shrugged my shoulders and drained my drink. Lynede is the one person I can fully express my ideas with, including that secret that nobody else knows.
She raised her glass, and my empty one and hers clinked together. She drank and then stated to me, "Reverting to the main matter, I've heard that our new Alpha has begun to rule our pack. To be precise, the previous Alpha was very at ease handing the pack over to him because he believed he would adequately protect our pack."
"Really? He's amazing." My eyes widened.
This is shocking! Something must exist in him. He arrived at his destination thanks to his leadership and intelligence rather than because he was the Alpha. I mean, a capable person deserves respect.
"Apparently! Let me tell you he is renowned for his brutality and violence..." She looked around and lowered her voice as she spoke to me, "Numerous Rogues who attempted to attack our pack were repelled by him. This club is his idea, at the time, several people laughed and predicted it wouldn't succeed, but as we can all see now, it did! He's awesome. The most important is that he doesn't have a mate! Who will the Moon Goddess choose to be his lucky Luna?"
I shrugged my shoulders.
Lucky? I bet he must be arrogant, possessive, and self-centered, so his mate needs to act like the Luna that everyone wants. Wait, the last time used the word "arrogant" to describe a male was when I met a 'puppy lover', is it possible that he is......
I shook my head, I was drunk tonight.
No one would realize that Murphy's Law is a compulsory lesson taught by the Moon Goddess.
Then, under Cinderella time my brother set, Lynede, and I didn't get home until after midnight. He frequently complained that he didn't appreciate having to get out of bed to let me in. I thought back to the one time I had climbed to the western side of the hill and waited until two o'clock, but I had not been successful in seeing Polaris. My brother found me on the way home, "Where have you gone?" in a hoarse voice. From then on, he required that I return home before Cinderella time each day. He had called all of my friends, and Lynede told me that he had looked everywhere for me.
"He might not want to show it, but he might still love you. After all, you are his younger sister." Lynede said to me.
It was the sweetest thing I had ever heard. I saw it as a sweet secret that I was hoping to die to keep.
I didn't intend to conceal it from him, but I swore to my mother that I would keep this secret... More than anyone, I wanted to tell him the truth so that Louis would turn back into the brother who loved me. I can't stand the way he treats me in such an indifferent way every day.
Lying on my bed, flashbacks woke me up. I consoled myself to go to sleep as soon as possible and go to my usual place to relax tomorrow.
Keira POV When I awoke in the morning and descended the stairs, I saw Louis enjoying breakfast in the dining room. Louis told me to merely clean the house because I nearly started an explosion in the kitchen when I first started cooking. Louis was a fantastic cook, but as I sat in my chair, I really missed the BBQ gatherings we used to have. I also missed my mother's cooking and the cheese in Louis' grubby hands. "You will soon turn 18. What are your plans?" Louis questioned me while gazing into his juice glass. I quickly finished my sentence, "No." "I hope you can shift, or I'll have to spend time taking care of you. Don't forget to put the plates in the dishwasher." Louis said once wiping his lips with a tissue, then he walked to his room. I knew Louis was the Beta of our pack. He needed to prepare for Hunting & Dancing, that's what Lynede told me last night. Our traditional event, Hunting& Dancing, is only held after Alpha's 20th birthday. It started as a mean to assist Alpha
Keira POV "Lynede, come to the PARK cafe, I treat you to afternoon tea." I called her. "Oh, you are sooo sweet! I will be there in one minute." Five minutes later, Lynede showed up in the cafe. "Hey, Keira!" She looked around and finally locked on me. "Tell me why you called me here, not for an afternoon tea, right?" "Before I tell you, let's order something to drink first." I gave her a menu. "A Lemon Tart and a Matcha latte. Thank you." Lynede said to the waiter and couldn't wait to ask me, "What happened?" I paused and then questioned her, "I accidentally met a male with black hair in the bar. I mean, do you know who in our pack has black hair?" "Black hair? As far as I'm aware, Kloss and our new Alpha both have black hair, and..." "Oh my goodness, look who I met! My dear classmates!" We were rudely interrupted by Rhoda. "Rhoda, shut up. No one wants to communicate with you." Lynede's eyes rolled back, and she had a repulsed expression. "I'm the niece of the Alpha of Jupi
Keira POV In the morning. It made me sluggish because of insomnia last night, so I got out of bed and patted my face. Louis stared at me as he sat in front of me, "There are a few things that need to be taken care of today, so I have to head to the Full Moon Room a little early. You'd better dress up before the ball starts." I didn't tell him I was going hunting because it was not allowed. I nodded and stuffed toast into my mouth. "Do you have a dress for the ball?" Louis enquired of me. He had this tie in his hand when he went out of his room following breakfast. I nodded while grinning badly. He appeared to be about to say anything else, but all he did was lightly sigh. He was already attired. He looked dapper in a navy blue suit with vertical stripes and an orange tie, and I knew he was going to make an impression. "Well, I'll see you in the Full Moon Hall." He said, placing his hand on the door handle. "Okay, bye." After he closed the door, I quickly cleaned up everything o
Keira POV I couldn't see the Alpha's face because of his deerstalker, but even so, I felt silly for overthinking it when I realized this puppy lover wasn't the Alpha. I relaxed and smiled. The puppy lover looked at me when he heard my chuckle, and then he continued to return his attention to the hunting scene. Based on the serious expression on his face, I guessed he was probably a skilled hunter as well. When he saw the man raise his rifle and aim it at the buck, he frowned, as if he already knew what was going to happen, inaccurate aiming or something. The buck was still staring down and smelling the dandelions in the grass, completely oblivious to what was awaiting him. When I unconsciously sneezed, the buck alertly perked up its ears, pulled its head up, elevated its front feet, and raced quickly. The breeze carried the dandelion seeds off. The buck didn't even hesitate for a second before vanishing into the forest, and the Alpha, enraged at witnessing his prey go, beat his fist
Keira POV Rhoda was wearing a dark green low-cut velvet evening gown that displayed her cleavage and her shoulders. She looked down at me with a disgusted expression, "Except for your diamond earrings, you have no taste in fashion, and I bet no one will ask you to dance tonight." "So what, I'd rather be outside in the fresh air on the terrace." "Somebody needs to sob on the terrace." Rhoda walked to me with a whiff of perfume and grinned haughtily, "Do you suppose that there would be a Romeo who would throw pebbles at the window and take you to leave to somewhere? You wish!" She ran her hand through her hair. How can someone misinterpret someone's words? "Well, I hope Alpha declines to dance with you." I took Lynede's hand and walked away, didn't wait for her reaction. Because I didn't want to argue with her in this situation anymore. She was still cursing. "Your earrings are really pretty! When did you buy them?" We stopped at a round table, Lynede asked me. "No, they were give
Keira POV The audience, which had been calm, suddenly became boisterous as soon as he finished speaking. "What are you saying?" My voice started to tremble. "As you see, I am your Alpha and your mate. My name is Augustine Lope, don't forget your mate's name, Keira." He lifted my hand and put it to his mouth and kissed it. What the hell! I can't believe it! He is my new Alpha, my mate! Is this the way that Moon Goddess punishes me? And why does he know my name? Augustine lowered his head to see the look on my face, and said in a firm tone, "I could know everything about you, as long as I want." Our eyes met and I took a step back when I noticed his possessive gaze which was breathtaking. There's no denying that he was irritated by my actions. I saw the fire of rage in his eyes as if something mad was happening. Augustine grabbed my arm in silence and pulled me back, "Never try to flee from me, I think you've heard of me and I don't want to show you my cruelty unless it's necessary
Keira POV He emphasized this to me once more. I figured he must find it amusing to watch me standing there with my mouth wide. I knew that practically all the girls wanted him to be their partner, but I never imagined that he would be my mate. "How could?" Rhoda muttered angrily, then she took a long breath and acting composed, "How is she your mate, Alpha? She... She can not even shift." "It is all designed by Moon Goddess, so it doesn't matter." "But what use is a Luna who cannot shift; you must now reject her." "I'll reiterate that she is already mine, so I won't reject her. You are not qualified to ask me to do this." In response to Augustine's remarks, her cheeks started to become crimson with embarrassment. She bowed her head and quickly left the hall. I felt Augustine firmly grasp my hand and added, in a forceful voice, "She is my mate, and we will wed the following month. But pardon me, we have to leave for a little while." I understood that he was trying to soothe me, b
Keira POV I tried to look up but was too dizzy and all I could see was darkness, eventually, I could make out my brother standing in front of me, frowning and staring at us. I motioned for Augustine to release his grip, but he ignored me and nodded to Louis, Louis reciprocated. "I was a little dizzy and Augustine gave me a hand." I explained to Louis and I swore that when I speak his name, Louis frowned for one second. "Keira, let's go. We're gonna see the elders." Augustine grabbed my hand, when we were about to pass by Louis, a hand stopped me. "Don't you know that she hasn't shifted, Alpha? You stubbornly bring her in front of people without considering what they might say about her behind her back. A useless Luna or a wolfless Luna?" Louis was holding back his anger, trying to speak in a calm tone. Augustine heard what he said, turn his head, and narrowed his eyes, "As Alpha, I won't allow anyone to slander my mate, and our pack needs a Luna." I have to say family is all we h
