Chapter 15
Blake.
I wasn't sure if Liam was right about the Luna having a hand in what had happened, or if he was just being dramatic. After all, he had never liked the Luna. I didn't necessarily like her either, but I was at least, respectful towards her. She was the only one who had never made a single comment about my mother's affair, and even after my mother had been chased out for committing adultery with an ordinary guard, she had comforted me when I would cry and once, she snuck me out of the palace so I could meet up with my mother where she now lived. What I witnessed there was the only thing that created a distance between the Luna and me, and the only reason I could never fully trust her or actually like her.
My mother had been the Alpha's Royal Concubine, and ordinarily, she was to take on the position of the Luna. The Luna's position had been vacant for five years after Liam's mother had died, and a ceremony had already been fixed to install my mother as the new Luna, when she was caught red-handed having sexual relations with her guard.
When Luna Vienna had taken me to see my mother a few weeks after she was disgraced and forced to leave our Pack, my mother had given her a dirty slap in the face, accusing her of setting her up and being the one to report the affair. Luna Vienna didn't deny the accusations, but she had on a sly smile, just as she always did when something bad happened but favored her.
I didn't see her as a good person, but accusing her of plotting murder seemed a little bit too much.
I was still deep in my thoughts when I heard a knock on my door.
I sat up. "Come in," I said, lazily.
Ciara opened the door and walked in, then closed it gently behind her.
I could feel my erection building up and I swallowed hard, trying to block out all the dirty things I could think of doing to her, blaming nothing but her short satin nightgown.
"Hey. I couldn't sleep, and I decided to check up on you," she said.
I gave her a small smile. "That's sweet, thank you. Now that you've checked up on me and can see I'm fine, you should leave," I said.
A frown appeared on her face as she took the seat beside my bed. "Are you chasing me away?" she asked.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
I stared hungrily at her exposed thighs, biting my lips to restrain myself from doing something she would probably end up regretting.
"Of course not. I was just... er... about to go to bed," I lied, looking away.
"Oh, I see. I'm sorry to have bothered you. By the way, have you taken your medicine?" she asked.
"I forgot totally about that, but it's fine. I'm okay, and I don't need them," I explained.
"Nonsense. Where are they?" she asked.
"Ciara "
"I won't leave until you tell me where they are and I see you take them," she insisted.
"You're a tough one, aren't you?" I chuckled. "They're at the top of the wardrobe," I said.
"Who puts medicine at the top of a wardrobe? You're a weird one, aren't you?" she joked, and I laughed this time around.
She went to the wardrobe and tip-toed to get the medicine, but it wasn't working, and the only thing it seemed to be doing was to fuel my attraction to her by raising her gown up even higher, so I could almost see her ass. I stood up, then reached for the medicine behind her so I could take it hurriedly and she could leave because I couldn't stand being tempted for much longer.
Our hands slightly grazed each other and she looked at me intensely. Her lips parted slightly and I tried my best to look away, but I couldn't.
"You should go," I said in a whisper.
"Or what?" she asked, also in a whisper.
"Or I wouldn't be able to control myself for much longer."
She bit down on her lower lip, and I could feel her heat embracing me... embracing us. "What if I don't want you to control yourself?" she asked.
Something about her tone of voice made me want her more. "Then, you leave me no choice," I said, crushing her lips with mine. She let out a soft groan, and her arms wound around my neck, pulling our bodies closer together.
The kiss deepened into a long and passionate one, with our tongues entwined together. I could taste the sweetness of her mouth, and it made me hungry for more.
My hands slid down from her neck to cup her breasts, squeezing them gently as she moaned softly, wriggling beneath my touch.
I had been with other girls before her, but something about her was different. She was different, and I didn't know if it was because she was my mate or if it was because I hadn't done this in a long while, but what I was sure of was that I wanted what I had with her to last and somehow, I knew she wanted it, too.
I grabbed her ass firmly, massaging them and proceeded to lift her off the ground, so that her legs were wrapped around my waist as I placed her on the bed, ripping the nightgown off.

I stood there, breathless, speechless.
"My goodness. You are beautiful," I said.
"I don't know, Blake. Make me feel beautiful," she said.
I didn't need her to say anything more before lowering my body to her and taking her nipples in mine, sucking on them and twirling my fingers around them.
"Let this be the last time you show up with panties to see me," I said deeply, yanking off her black lace panties.
Her face flushed red, but her eyes showed an emotion... anticipation, and I was determined to make every bit worth it as I slowly trailed my mouth along her body, leaving a line of wet kisses from her belly button all the way up to her breastbone. Her moans intensified and her arms pulled me even closer against her.
My hand slowly worked its way to her wetness, and my finger lightly stroked her clit in a circular motion before finally slipping inside.
She gasped loudly for air, and looking at the pleased look on her face, I was encouraged to thrust my finger slowly in and out of her while my thumb brushed circles on her clitoris.
I loved every bit of it, and I could tell that she did, too. I was warming up to just take her this night and mark her as mine, putting an end to this silly game once and for all, but then, a noise startled us.
"What was that?" Ciara asked, momentarily pausing between gasps and moans.
"We should go on. It's probably nothing," I said.
But then, the noise came again, and with that came a rock shooting through the window and shattering it.
"We are under attack, get out!" Alden yelled, forcing the door open, and upon seeing Ciara naked under me, he froze; his face turning red.
