CHAPTER 4

Tonia's POV

My lips quivered slightly as I felt the dark and domineering aura exuding from his body. Alpha male. Carnal energy!

But how did he get access to the Royal bar? A rogue? My heart beat faster as I stepped a few inches backward, immediately thinking of how to either escape or haul something at him.

However, to my horror—and moon goddess, be merciful— excitement, he strode towards me. I quickly turned to run, but he blocked my path.

Gosh! How did he move so fast? I swallowed hard as his scent intoxicated my senses. He lowered his head towards my ear and breathed.

"You look so hot. Did you come here to seduce me?"

Either it was the alcohol messing up with my brain badly, I couldn't say. But his breath fanning my face sent a rush of desire through my veins.

"I think I came to the wrong room," I said, unsure of if I was making any sense. "I'll leave now."

I sidestepped him but he snagged at my wrist and pulled me flush against his body.

"I never said you should go." He said, predatory intent flashing in his eyes. "Since you entered here of your own will, you might as well help you."

My breath caught in my throat when his hands sneaked beneath my blouse.

"What—what are you doing?" My voice trembled.

"What do you think I'm doing?" He breathed against my neck.

"Please, stop!" I managed.

He smirked, pinching my already rock-hard nipples. "You're unbearably aching for this, quit the pretense."

I didn't know if it was because Logan starved me sexually me for three months, but I wanted this man to touch me everywhere— anywhere.

As if he had read my mind, his free hand tugged down my pajamas, slid between my thighs and he began stroking my core.

I couldn't suppress the moan that broke out of my throat. His head descended now and he took my lips in a kiss. Scratch that! He devoured my lips!

His hands molded and squeezed my breasts then he slid them lower to my ass. I thought I would lose my mind from the pressure as my core throbbed for his touch.

"Please, touch me." I found myself begging.

As if my words had set loose the monster inside him, he growled as he broke the kiss and ripped my dress in one swift move.

He whisked me off the ground and onto the bed. His body shook with raw, rough need as he lowered his weight atop me, parting my thighs for access.

I inhaled sharply as he thrust in, hot and hard. He started going slowly at first but he soon increased his speed.  I curled into his body, matching his rhythm as he drove me higher into a spiral of pleasure.

Truth be told, Logan had never made love to me this way, so, I didn't know it was so— oh moon goddess!

I jerked as I felt myself soaring. My muscles snarled and tightened around him as he increased his space. He was also reaching.

My visions blurred and my nail clawed at his back as I posted the sheets, aching and twisting fork pleasure.

"Oh, this is so good" he groaned as his body convulsed and his face contorted with pleasure.

"Yes!" I cried out as I found release just at the same time he emptied his release inside of me.

****

The rays of the sun hitting my face woke me up. I could still feel the remnants of yesterday's pleasure between my legs but confusion slammed into my guts as my eyes scanned the room.

It was strangely different. The bed was well laid and there wasn't any smell of our intimacy. My mind jumbled up. Was it a wet dream?

No! I still felt sore for so much pleasure so, how could that possibly be a dream? But wait a minute! I was in my pajamas and— and, it wasn't ripped.

The man had definitely ripped it yesterday, so how in the moon goddess's name was it not ripped? I  tried racking my brains but I just couldn't figure it out so I resigned in defeat.

When I got home, Logan still wasn't home and after several hours of attending to the house chores, he was still not back, and now, a feeling of unrest crept onto me.

I brought out my phone to call him but a notification popped up on my phone. THE FUTURE LUNA OF PHOENIX PACK REVEALED.

I felt like my heart was shredded to pieces when I clicked on the picture attached to it. Logan and Lisa are in bed together. Lisa had her hand on Logan's head, showing off the diamond ring on her index finger.

Yeah, I knew Logan the night at Lisa's place but taking a picture and posting it on the internet was an entirely different case. He was simply announcing to everyone that he was choosing her over me.

The pain in my heart spread to my entire body but I refused to cry. The moment he kissed Lisa, I should have known this would happen.

And I'd be damned if I didn't know what was next. He would crown Lisa, and Luna and divorce me. No! I couldn't let that happen. I refuse to be seen as the pathetic wife of the alpha who was divorced for being barren!

I had given up so much of myself over the years that he must have thought I was weak. But not anymore! I had to make a move before he did!

Immediately, I put a call through to Olivia and she picked on the first ring.

"Did you say today was the Lycan king's banquet? I changed my mind. I'll go with you!"

A few hours later, I stared at my reflection in the mirror in Olivia's apartment. She had dolled me up in the most provocative cocktail gown ever, giving my face a flawless touch also.

Soon, we left the house and went to the banquet venue. On arriving there, the hall was fully crowded with people dressed so sophisticated. Despite that, several heads turned in admiration as we went to the front.

"There he is!" Olivia whispered in my ear. "Go throw it at his face!"

I turned and saw Logan and Lisa. Sentiments aside, they looked like a lovely couple. I kissed Olivia bye, before striding towards them provocatively.

They both noticed me now and a look of shock appeared on their faces, as if they didn't expect me to show up there, especially looking like a different person.

I halted a few inches away from. "Hey there." I greeted.

Lisa scowled,  obviously displeased, since she was dressed in a white plain dress which kind of blended with the room, while my red dress stood out elegantly.

"What are you doing here, dressed in 'that'?" Logan asked, uneasiness and surprise evident in his voice.

I smirked. "This!" I enunciated, "is a dress. And I'm here because I want to be. But not to worry, I'm not going to disrupt your fun with your little mistress!"

His gaze darkened. "Olivia, watch your mouth!" He said through clenched teeth. "This is an important function and you need to behave like the future Luna you are!"

"Future Luna?" I scoffed. "I'm afraid it's too late for that. I want a divorce!"

"What?" A bedazzled expression crept onto his face, soon replaced by anger. "What nonsense are you talking about?"

I smiled calmly and reached inside for the divorce papers I had already gotten from my lawyer. I handed it to him.

"This is what I'm talking about. I don't want to be an obstacle to your love, Logan. Quit the pretense and sign the papers. I'll get out of your life just like you want!"

I faced Lisa. "I hope you enjoy your fated mate alone just like you've always wanted!"

Her lips twitched savagely and before I could react, she grabbed a glass of wine from a passing waiter and dumped the content on me.

I shrieked in horror as the liquid soaked my clothes, making it translucent. I tried to cover my exposed body but it was of no use as the liquid was spreading fast.

Just as I thought I should run out, someone draped a thick tuxedo jacket over my shoulder, shielding me with their body.

The familiar scent! I couldn't mistake it for anything else. I looked up in panic only to stare into the same blue eyes I had drowned in last night.

A wave of recognition crossed his features and I immediately knew it hadn't been a wet dream. I had a one-night stand with a semi-god and he was standing right in front of me now, protecting me, while my husband stoood and did nothing.

Well, ex-husband soonest!

Logan his throat awkwardly. "King Jayden, I apologize on behalf of my wife. She isn't really used to this kind of function." He bowed to the man who was holding me.

My breath seized. Wait a minute! Did he just call him King Jayden? My one-night stand was King Jayden, the Almighty Lycan king.

And that was why he had gotten access to the Royal bar.

"She's your wife?" King Jayden asked, giving me a cocked eyebrow and I quickly glanced away.

He returned his gaze to Logan. "Wow! I almost mistook the woman beside you as your wife! Why did you bring someone more inferior when you have such a sexy wife?"
