Chapter twenty-four

Lucian’s POV

“What’s up?” Nate asked as we jogged around the big pack field.

After spending most of the day with Natalie, Nate had come to find me and asked if I’d join him in a run.

“Tessa and I had a fight this morning,” I said. He snorted.

“Yeah, I saw.” He said with a smirk which I wanted to hit right off his face.

“She thinks I don’t treat her like a Luna. Like I’m “parenting” her,” I said, and he nodded.

“But you do, Lucian. She’s a grown woman. Not only that but your mate and the Luna. The mother of your pack,” he said, and I looked at him.

“Are you two ganging up on me or something?” I said and he laughed shaking his head.

“I don’t know this pack land properly and I know that there is still a possibility that the pack that got to us back home can find us here and then there will be even more blood on my hands,” I said and sighed.

“And my father wants me in Dragon territory for the annual blue moon ceremony the day after tomorrow,” I said and frowned. My head pounded and I knew that it wasn’t me.

I stopped and closed my eyes.

Tessa had a headache, by the way, my head pounded I knew it was her and not me.

Nate stopped and put his hand on his hips.

“What’s up?” he asked and pulled out his water to take a gulp.

“Nothing,” I mumbled, and we began our jogging again. I’d left Tessa in the safety of the Luna and the Beta’s wife where they were making cakes in the pack house kitchen.

As we made our final lap, a group of she-wolves had made their way to the field to watch our jogging session.

They swooned and flirted with us with their eyes. I rose one of my brows and looked at Nate who made a gagging face and then laughed.

I shook my head and laughed.

“You are such an asshole,” I said, and he chuckled loudly.

“Aww c’mon. That’s why you love me so much, Lucian,” he said, and I laughed even louder.

“Let’s go Nate before Tessa finds me and then there will be hell to pay,” I said, and we grabbed our towels and water bottles, making our way back to get freshened up.

It was still early afternoon when I went back to find my mate. I walked through the open back door and heard a burst of laughter. Tessa’s laugh was absolutely beautiful, and I followed it to the kitchen.

After taking a very long shower alone. Alpha Kurt had phoned me, asking if me and Tessa could join him in his office around three o’clock. He’d said he had something to ask us and I’d reluctantly agreed.

The kitchen was absolutely huge and filled with two very floury ladies. One of them being Tessa who was absolutely covered in sheet-white flour.

She was laughing and then turned around and my heart nearly stopped at the smile she’d given me.

“Hi,” I said making my way towards her.

“Hi,” she said and tried dusting herself off. I laughed trying to help her but only rubbing the flour in more.

“It’s ok. I’ll just take a shower.” She said to who I assumed was her mother behind all the flour.

“Not after we see the Alpha who wants us in his office in ten minutes.”

I could feel her rolling her eyes and continued to dust the flour from her.

She laughed at my sloppy attempt and grabbed my wrists to stop my hands. She spun around and looked me in the eye. Her lips were close enough to kiss and her breath washed over me as we had a very heated conversation with our eyes.

Even though we still had an argument to solve, raw desire rushed through my body at this moment and I wrapped my arm around her waist, pulling her flush against me.

Her pupils were dilated, and I heard the faint thrumming of her pacing heartbeat.

She wants me as much as I need her.

“Mom?” She said without looking away from me and I almost forgot that her mother was standing in the kitchen.

“Yes?” She said, busying herself trying to clean all the flour from the kitchen counter.

“Is my old room occupied?” She said, swallowing and looking between my eyes and lips.

“No.”

“What about the Alpha?” She whispered, her lips nearly brushing mine.

“Who cares if we’re a litter late?” I smirked and took her hand, pulling her behind me as she quickly said the directions to the room.

We came to a door and I quickly opened it and pulled her in, letting her body crash against mine.

I closed the door and pushed her against it. The fire between our bodies became intense as I held her there, my body against hers.

“This doesn’t resolve our problem,” she said, and I lifted her up, her legs wrapping perfectly around me.

I pressed my hardness against her heated core and her breath hitched.

I stared at her in the eye. Waiting for her to react.

“Oh, for fuck’s sake, kiss me already,” she said, and I smirked, crashing my lips against hers.

We both moaned in response and her hands found the hem of my shirt, lifting it up over my head.

“More skin.” “More skin.” Me and my wolf growled in unison.

“Lucian.” She whispered breathlessly and I took her over to the bed where I basically tore the clothing off from her, leaving her absolutely naked in the dim lighting of the room due to the closed curtains.

I undid my belt and slid the jeans off from me and crawled on top of her.

I didn’t think, just gave one thrust and she arched her back in response.

Her breathing quickened as her nails dug deep into the skin of my back.

I ground my teeth at the pleasurable pain and continued to make anger infused love to my mate.

I felt her release and just like that, I let it go and then placed my head on her chest as she ran her fingers through my hair.

“Good Goddess,” she whispered, and I groaned.

“That’s the only angry sex I’ve ever had, but damn was that amazing.”

I chuckled and gave her ass a good squeeze which made her jump.
