Chapter 35 Angry Is Not What We Are

(Hope POV)

Through the slits of my eyes, I saw Bruno struggle to breathe. Now you know what dying actually feels.

"Hope, angry is not what we are..." Oh my gosh! What am I doing?! I put my hands down. Bruno stopped choking and collapsed to the floor, coughing. I fell down on my knees and started to cry. "I'm so sorry. Please forgive me. I'm so so so sorry. I didn't mean to." It was more of an apology to my parents and not to him.

I hid my head between my knees in shame and just cried. "You ARE stupid and foolish, Hope," I said to myself.

"Child, you have done well. I am proud of you." Opal said.

I glanced at Bruno. "Please forgive me," I whispered.

Alexander and Oliver approached me carefully. I think I scared them when I threw them across the corridor. Alexander knelt down to where I sat.

"Hope, love," Alexander put a hand on my back. "You okay?"

I hugged him. I needed his comfort. "I'm so sorry. Did I hurt any of you?" I looked at him, tears flowing down my face.

"We're fine, my love." He brushed the tears from my face. "Come on. I think it's best if you rest for now." He pulls me up to my feet, swings me up in his arms and carries me out of the dungeons. "Mark, we'll talk later." Mark nods his head and bows.

I try to tell him I'd rather walk, but he hushes me and says not to worry...I'm light as a feather. When we get topside, I look around to see if I did some damage. I saw from afar, whatever I conjured did some damage to some land near the mountains. I prayed silently no one was hurt.

He brings me to the mansion and people were already out from the basement asking if I needed to see a doctor. Alexander shook his head and said I needed to rest. My mother came and kissed me on my cheek and I smiled. The sun started to shine bright again.

Alexander took me to our room and sat me down on the sofa at the balcony. "I'll get the tub running and set it up with bubbles. I'll get some tea to help with your nerves. You stay there and let me do the rest." He kissed me on my head.

Oliver let Alicia come in with some tea and apple pie. "Luna, your mother said you may want a slice of this." She put it down on the table in front of the sofa."

"Thank you, Alicia. That's very kind of you. Are all of you okay? No one got hurt, right?" I asked.

"We're fine, Luna. Don't worry yourself, ma'am." She turned to leave, but I grabbed her arm so I could stop her from leaving me.

"Alicia, how old are you? 21 or 22? I was hoping we can be friends. I didn't have many friends growing up. I had one bestfriend, but she isn't a wolf and I don't think she'd accept me given the circumstances. I just want a girl friend. You know what I mean, right?"

"22, Luna, I am 22 years old. I just finished community college. Of course, we can be friends." Alicia blushes.

"Wow! You're done with school. I'm so envious. I start this fall if, the Goddess permits." I look at her. "I hope you aren't saying that because I'm your Luna. I really mean it. I want us to, you know, hang out and stuff."

"That sounds like a good idea," Alexander said as he walked towards us.

"Alpha, sorry Sir. I did not mean to overstep my bounds." Alicia bows. "I shall leave now."

"Alicia, you will now become Luna Hope's new lady-in-waiting. You will be with her at all times. You will move from the servant's quarters to The Trusted Home to be closer to the mansion and you and your family will receive all the privileges that come with your new title."

"Alpha, I beg your pardon?" Alicia looked at Alexander and me with surprise on her face. A happy surprise. Like she got a promotion.

"You and Luna Hope will go to the village and buy yourself some new attire and whatever you may need for your new room." Oliver comes in the room on cue. "Oliver, please assist Alicia. She is Hope's new lady-in-waiting. Help her move in to her new room. Also, make sure her family is taken care of."

Oliver smiles and bows, "Alicia, I will be honored."

Alicia couldn't contain her happiness and suddenly hugs me. "Luna Hope, Alpha Alexander thank you. I will be the best lady-in-waiting. Thank you. Thank you." She rushes out the bedroom door and Oliver gives us a salute before closing the door behind him.

"That was nice of you." I give Alexander a kiss.

"It would be nicer if you take that suit off and all your clothes underneath and slip in the bathtub."

"Can you help me please?" I give Alexander an innocent smile.

"My little she-wolf is tired? Of course, I'll help you." He brings me inside and closes the balcony doors. He unzips the suit and takes it off. One by one, he takes off all my clothes until I'm naked. "So beautiful." He lifts me up in his arms, carries me into the bathroom and places me in the tub. "Lie back. Close your eyes." The warm water felt wonderful and the smell of the chamomile relaxing. The turmoil I felt from speaking to Bruno has disappeared. I sensed Alexander was taking off his clothes too. Maybe he was going to take a shower while I soak in the tub. Then, I felt a pair of hands and I opened my eyes.

"It's just me, Hope. Close your eyes, my love. Just let yourself feel."

"Okay." I close my eyes and his hands start rubbing my neck, then my shoulders. His hands go down to my breasts. He gently rubs them circling my nipples as they hardened to his touch. I felt the electricity and I moan, "Alexander..." I bite my lip. I start to feel the heat between my legs. I spread my legs and bend them so my knees peeked through the water.

"Sshh..," He kisses me. I feel one hand go down my stomach to my mound. His hand plays with my folds, not touching what I wanted him to touch. I lift my mound to his hand, wanting his fingers to stroke me at my sensitive core.

He puts one my legs on the edge of the tub. He kisses me while he slides his hand on my leg, down my thigh, through the folds finding the nub of my release. I moan, holding on to the edge of the tub. He strokes it, circling it. I open my eyes again and I see him with a satisfying smile. "Go on, my love, cum for me." He strokes more, faster and harder.

"Alexander..." I say his name as I find release. I arch my back and give in to the waves of ecstasy. After I regained my composure, I smiled at him mischievously. "Now, it's my turn," I tell him.

I come out of the tub, dripping, and yank down his boxers and start sucking. My tongue swirling over his engorged member. Up and down I went, licking and sucking. "Hope! Come here!" He pulls me up and starts licking off the water from my body while he towelled me dry. He picks me up and places me on the bed, he slides in between my legs and in one thrust, all of him was inside me.

"Oh my..I'm losing control," he growled.

"Alexander please, I want more."

"Oh Hope, I just want us to stay like this..."

He started to move, thrusting inside me slowly. I felt the heat of my frustration and I circle his body with my legs so he could thrust deeper into me. He went in deeper and growls. He began to thrust faster while licking my breasts. It was electrifying. I moved with him, meeting him at his every thrust with my hips as he went faster and deeper.

"Hope, I'm near," he groaned.

I could barely hear him as I continously moaned in pleasure. "Alexander..." I held on to him, as the waves of our climax brought me to the edge. I felt my head sink into the matress as I writhed in ecstacy.

Alexander lay on top of me. I felt the heat of his seed inside me. He then rolled onto the bed and brushed his hand against my cheek. He closed his eyes in bliss.

"I want to start a family..." Alexander whispered as he drifted off to sleep.

I kiss him on his cheek and snuggle into the crook of his arm. I want that too, but it wasn't the right time. I heaved a sigh as I drifted off to sleep, naked, in his arms.
