Chapter 27

LUNA POV

I can feel the warmth and softness of the bed. It feels like heaven. The smell was a mix of floral and sweet scents. I am loving this place. I felt a warm hand tracing my cheeks and it calms me.

A flash of memory suddenly hits me, I can remember the monstrous face of Simon King and how he tried to kill me last night. Lucas arrived and saved me from that fuckin' ceremony. I remember Lucas, he was the last person I saw when I passed out in the woods.

I immediately opened my eyes to see an unfamiliar room. I felt someone behind me in the bed. I turned around to meet with his emerald green eyes. He was looking at me like a predator would at his prey. I swallowed hard as he moved closer. I wonder how long he has been in bed with me. Don't tell me he was here the whole time I'm asleep?

"Lucas," I uttered his name.

"Luna, I am so happy you're awake. How are you feeling?" he asked.

"I am a little fine now. How long I've been sleeping?" I asked him as I tried to sit.

"You're asleep for more than a day Luna" he replied.

I was shocked to know I'd been sleeping for that long. I looked at the bandage on my arm. I remember how Simon's claws penetrated my skin. If not because of Lucas, I'm dead by now.

"Thank you for saving my life Lucas," I said shyly.

"It's nothing Luna. I have to save my mate," he said as he touched my face again.

"I'm your mate?” I asked in confusion.

"A mate is a wolf's ahm, like a soul mate. You know, destiny or someone meant for you," he tried to explain.

"But I'm not a werewolf. I am just human," I told him.

"Werewolf can have a human mate Luna. And that was something very special. You are special Luna and I'm lucky to have you," he gave me a playful smile as I caught him staring at my lips.

He leaned forward to kiss me but I avoided it.

I saw his expression change as he touched his forehead.

"I'm sorry Luna. I think you need to rest. I will let an attendant bring you food." he calmly said.

Maybe he was handsome, he said he was my mate but I am not attracted to him.

I scanned my body to see that I was wearing red pajamas.

"Wait, Lucas. I...I was wearing a pajama. My... my ahm," I can't find the perfect words to ask him. Thought he already touched my body while I was asleep and saw me naked. I can feel my face burning, I felt ashamed.

I saw him laugh.

"Don't worry, it was my attendant who cleaned your body and changed your clothes," he said.

I felt relief, at least he didn't see me naked.

He went out of the room and left me in bed.

After a few minutes, an attendant came with sumptuous food. She helped me eat and also changed the bandage on my arm. He also gave me medicine to drink.

I felt boring, I want to go out. I opened the curtain to see it was almost getting dark. From the window, I can see the vast land with many trees. Lucas was an Alpha, for sure he was also filthy rich like Hector's family.

I remember Hector, I missed him. But it hurts me after what I knew.

I wanted to clear my mind and decided to go out of my room. The house was big and it took me a few minutes before I found the stairs. I slowly went down to find people or maybe Lucas.

I heard noises from a room as I reached the next floor. I think two people are fighting in a room. I should not listen to their argument but I found myself outside of a room. I put my ears on the door to be able to hear them. I recognized the man's voice, it was Lucas. The woman's voice was low, I can't hear it.

"Go, I am done with you. You better go back to your home and stay away from me, understand!" Lucas yelled.

I heard the woman sobbing. Maybe it was his girl. I am sure, he is like Hector, a handsome rich man who loves to collect women.

I walked away from the room as I felt my wound throb with pain. I need to go back to my room and rest.

As I went up the stairs, I heard someone leave that room. I tried to hide to look who the woman Lucas was talking to.

She went out running. I know she was crying. She is wearing a thick jacket with a hood, I wasn't able to see her face. She immediately disappeared as she went out of the main door.

I tried to follow the woman outside the house. I don't know, I just felt the need to talk to her.

When I was about to open the door, I felt a hand on my arm.

I was stunned to see Lucas who was looking so serious.

"Lucas, ahm the woman," I can't continue my sentence.

"She was a crazy woman who forces herself on me. Don't mind her Luna," he said.

"Well, ahm, she ahm she is you know fa-familiar, I ahm, I don't know," I stuttered. I am nervous to have Lucas at my side. I don't understand the feeling. When Hector kidnapped me, I never felt as scared as this.

"I think you need to rest Luna. Come, let me help you go to your room now," he said as he held my hand and guided me to my room.

He locked the door the moment we came in. I looked up at him as he walked toward me.

I am not really comfortable here with him even after he saved my life.

"You are very beautiful Luna," his voice was tempting.

I avoided his gaze, I don't want whatever he was planning to do now.

He moved his body closer to mine as he slowly reached out the back of my head and gently drew me into a sweet kiss.

I was so shocked. I immediately pushed him away and slapped him in the face.

I felt disgusted after his kiss.

"What the hell Lucas! What are you doing?" I shouted at him.

He touched his red cheeks after that powerful slap as he turned to me with burning eyes.

His hands dug into my arms as he shook me with anger. I was so scared of his anger.

"Don't try to avoid destiny, Luna. You and I are mates. You need to remember that," he said as he tightened his grip on my arm.

"Let go of me, Lucas!" I shouted as I tried to free myself from his grip.

He pushed me onto the bed as he ripped off my pajamas followed by my bra. My bare chest was completely exposed to his hungry gaze. I used my full strength to fight him as he tried to push my hands on the bed.

"No, no, please Lucas, stop!" I pleaded but he didn't listen to me.

He started kissing my neck as I felt his full weight above me. My breast was pressed tightly against his hard and broad chest.

I tried to kick him but my strength was not enough.

"Lucas, please stop!" I started crying as he continued to kiss my neck down to my breast.

"Obey me, Luna, I'm your Alpha. Surrender yourself to me," he said as he took off his shirt and pants.

I felt weak as I tried to crawl away from him. He pulled my hair and I felt the burning pain in my scalp.

I felt his hard cock pressed on my butt. He kissed my neck again as his left hand cupped my breast. I am as scared as hell.

"I can smell your purity, Luna. I am so lucky to be your first," he whispered.

"No, please Lucas, don’t do this!" I pleaded over and over again.

Still, he didn't listen and continued kissing my neck.

"I will have you tonight, and tomorrow, you will marry me and be my queen," he said.
