Teasing

LUNA’S POV

A Pleasant shiver ran down my spine when I felt a hand wrapped around my waist, surprisingly pulling me to his chest. Letting our wild hearts beat against each other. 

To my surprise, I realized I was pulled into the arms of no one other than the one person I’d never expected to see again.

Kieran…

A small smile stretched across his face, as he stared at me. His gaze lingered on me longer than it should have, slowly causing a weird creeping feeling up my skin from staring back at him.

“Well, well, well, who would have thought that I’d ever get the chance of bumping into you again!” Kieran said.

His minty scent drifted into my nostrils and I inhaled like I needed him like he was a drug. The scent of him was intoxicating. 

So intoxicating, in fact, that when he leaned closer. My deeper breath caught in my throat. All it took was the gentle brush of his finger against mine for my world to come crumbling down. 

He placed his hands on my shoulders, brushing his thumb over my cheeks. I arched a brow at him and sighed through my nose as I tried to pull away from his touch. Heat crawling up my neck.

Kieran seemed to have noticed the tension I was having, as he etched closer to me than usual.

“I must say you look quite different, Luna!” he mused. 

I shuddered at my name, my eyes closing as moments of pleasure wracked my bones and goosebumps graced my skin.

“Let me go Kieran,” 

“P-please,” I stammered.

His eyes closed briefly, and his head tilted back by a few degrees. When they reopened, they were pitch black, and I immediately knew his wolf had surfaced. 

Most Wolf’s eyes were close to their human color. But his were pure black; Wild as it can be. He smirked at me and then pulled me in as I slammed my body against his chest, his scent wafting into my nostrils.

I had dropped my gaze in fear, trying to make myself non-threatening, as always. Knowing I was walking on thin ice now since his wolf had surfaced.

“You seem to have forgotten that you actually owe me, plus you and I know that debts in the pack world can be collected in so many ways,” Kieran muttered as his lips grazed my ear.

His arm raised to my face, and I flinched away, closing my eyes with a whimper. However he didn't hit me like I’d expected. Instead, his fingers traced my temple down my cheek. My body froze at the gentle contact. Unsure of how to react. 

I heard him inhale deeply, his hand falling from my face. “You're coming with me!” 

My eyes darted open in surprise and before I could respond, he grabbed me by the hand and then dragged me to the driveway as he shoved into the passenger seat of his car.

Without a second thought, he drove off into the territory like a wild Wolf, fast and reckless. The screen of my phone lit up as I stared absentmindedly at my phone wondering how I had been at an underground fighting ring a couple of minutes ago and now I had been shoved into the car of Kieran.

“You won't be needing that!” he surprisingly said, grabbing my phone as he had it thrown out the window. I stared out the window shocked at why he’d done that.

“Why would you do that?” I snapped, but deep down I couldn't deny that for some reason I felt something again. Something intense, raw and dangerous that my Omega nature feared and craved all at the same time.

“Hold still!” he yelled, and in seconds he’d pulled up at a pack neutral diner. 

I hopped right out of the car, still in fear of what he had in mind to do. But to my surprise he’d asked that we sit by the territory border, to have a quick talk over greasy food.

Without any hesitation, I agreed and then settled right next to him. I stared into the dark, a bit puzzled on how in the world I’d gotten myself wrapped up with Kieran in the blink of an eye.

 Just then, I summoned courage to ask the one question that had been tugging at me for months.

“Why were you banished?” I finally asked. And as expected, I got no response. But it was quite obvious that his return wasn't just some accident, clearly someone powerful in the elder council pulled strings to have him brought back to restore balance in the pack hierarchy.

I hadn't realized I so happily stared at him. Ignoring the fact that he didn't seem to like me all too much. My brain felt fuzzy from staring at him silently and in that fleeting moment, he turned to look at me.

Something whimpered in my mind that had me freeze from trying to move my body away from him. But the more I tried, the harder it was slowly starting to get to resisting him.

I couldn't think straight. There was a feminine voice in my brain, and it wasn't mine. This time, it was articulated.

“I want you!”

“Shit” I muttered, and didn't even realize that I had said that out loud. 

Staring back at Kieran in front of me, I realized he had a flirtatious smile creased on his face as he etched closer to me. Now staring down at my lips.

“What's wrong princess, can't handle all of this?” He teased, running a hand down my face as if wanting to kiss me.

“I didn't say that!” I shot back. But when I did, his laughter erupted in the air causing my Wolf to stir in my head.

“We’d see about that!” He responded with a smirk, and eyes still locked on my lips.

Just when he leaned close, I reached for his car key, and without any hesitation I perked up to my feet as I scrambled off and headed for his car. Knowing I had to get away. 

“Luna!” I heard him call out from behind me.
