Chapter 21: Chapter Twenty

Lilly

"Don't you think that chicken is better too? I love chicken, but my mom usually cooks beef. I also love beef, but sometimes, before I sleep, I keep on thinking how delicious fried chicken or grilled chicken is. I can't help but to feel hungry so I always get up in the middle of the night and try to find some chicken."

After I hear a long rambling, I saw a teenager with green eyes and curly hair looking at me while standing at the door of the kitchen.

It is already after I interrupted the meeting of Lucas. Earlier, I was just walking around and trying to find the kitchen when I heard a loud sound of explosion. I wasn't worried because I didn't feel Lucas or any of our pack members was in danger. I knew everyone was safe, but the explosion was loud and before I realize it, my feet already dragged me to the conference room.

There I saw the big wall destroyed into pieces. All of the guests alphas and their guards were in a protective stance and Lucas was crushing a "were-like." From the looks of it, the "were-like" was not weak. However, Lucas ended him like he was crushing a bug. His face didn't show any emotion even when the blood and meat of the "wolf-like" spattered like rain from the air.

He looked like a glorious death god.

But, I still can't get over how this glorious death god who can kill without any expression on his face is also a very flirty man. Why does he always kiss me in front of others? He even kissed in front of the guests! I don't have the heart to come near them again.

"Why is your face red?" I was awakened from my thoughts by this question. "Is the chicken so spicy? Or is it because you made out with alpha again?"

"?!" What? I suddenly stand up and accidentally push the chair I was sitting on the ground.

I didn't make out with him!

"Ahhhh. I guess it's the second." The little guy say as he walks over to the table to grab a bit of my chicken.

"Yuck! This doesn't taste good. The chicken is under-cooked. Look! There's even a bit of blood in here. And it tasted so bad! What is this amount of salt? Did you cook this yourself? Or is the cook trying to kill you with this saltiness?" He complains.

I feel the guy who led me to the kitchen tensed.

"N..no." I reply to the loud guy. "I don't think someone is trying to kill me." I tell him in a low voice. The meal indeed tastes awful. I know I am still being hated, and being the alpha's mate won't change it. Actually, it is already a miracle that somebody cooked a meal for me. Other than Tristan, no one else aside from Lucas talks to me. Not even this guy who seems to be guarding me.

Ahh, yes. The little kid yesterday and this guy here also initiated talking to me.

I look at him and find that he is still sporting an ugly expression while he gives the chicken an ugly stare.

"Why don't you throw this meal and join me to look for something delicious?" He offers. I feel that a smile is starting to creep out of my mouth. I bite my lips to stop myself from smiling.

"No, but thank you. We shouldn't throw food." I mumble in reply. Only a few days ago I still have little to no food. We shouldn't waste any food in our table.

"But it tastes grosssssssss." The curly guy says with a strong expression. He even extends his hands to emphasize how disastrous the food tastes.

"Uhm.. Can I ask. uhm, your name?" I ask him hesitantly. This is the first time in my life that I ask somebody for his name.

"Eh? Didn't I tell you yet? you really didn't know me? But I am the cutest guy in this pack!" He exclaims. "Err well after Alpha Lucas.... That guy looks like.. er.. good. Yeah. But I am not gay okay? I'm just saying the truth!" He says.

This little guy is very lovable.

"Ahem. Anyway, I'm Ethan. I'm grade 10 so you're not that older than me." He declares.

Ethan?

Uhm, sure.

"Anyway, I miss school! The classes already resume today but my uncle wanted me to be here in the pack house and help in receiving the guests." Ethan complains. This guy sure is talkative.

"Did you see the wall of the conference room? I think it was Alpha Craig who did that! His pack is known for their super strength. And Alpha Brandon's pack is known for their speed. But of course no one is better than Alpha Lucas! The way he.. he.." Ethan stops in the middle of his story looking pale.

"Are you okay?" I ask him.

"Well.. sure. It's just I remember how he smashed that "were-like"... I mean it's super cool how strong he is. It's just that, I think the scene was too bloody. Remembering it makes my bum shiver. I will never ever offend him." He replies.

I guess it was a bit bloody?

"Anyway! Let's get some thing else for food. You can't keep on eating that! Luna!"

"Please call me Lilly?" I ask him. I don't know when I will feel comfortable on being called Luna.

"No way, high way! I won't call you Lilly. I don't dare offend the alpha!" He protests.

The moon is already high above the sky when I hear a knock. Since I am staying at this luxurious bedroom that has an even luxurious bathroom, I took a bit more time taking a bath again. This time, I used the bath tub and it was such a nice feeling.

I stand up to open the door and see Lucas leaning his back on the wall with his arms crossed on his chest. He looks very handsome and still expressionless. When he sees me, he sighs and grabs me for a hug. I feel my body slightly tremble when he breathes on my neck.

"The meeting was awful. They are all slow pokes and made me talk all day. Tristan made me stay during dinner and I couldn't even eat with you." I hear him mumble.

I don't know what to do to comfort him so I just wrap my arms round his body. I hear him hum in approval. I almost did the same. Being in his arms is such a wonderful feeling. I want to stay like this forever.

I am so lost into his embrace that I forgot the presence of the two pack warriors who were stationed to guard this wing of the pack house. When I realize that we are hugging in front of them, I push Lucas away from me with all my strength.

Lucas didn't even slightly bulged but I got his attention.

He chuckles a little and bend down to kiss my nose before he lets go. Then, he takes my hand in his and strolls inside the room I am using before shutting the door.

I don't know why but my heart suddenly beat so fast when I heard the lock clicked.

Lucas leads me to the bed. He sits on the corner of the bed and grabs me into his lap. He leans on the head of the bed with me lying on his chest. This position is very intimate. I know that this is not the first time that he drags me into his lap but this time, we are alone. I feel that it is more dangerous to be intimate when we are alone.

Lucas places his face on my neck and kisses me lightly. His arms are around my stomach, pressing me near his body.

"Have you eaten good?" I hear him ask. The lunch food was not good, but Ethan rummaged the refrigerator and found us a lot of delicious snacks. During dinner, Ethan came to find me again and brought some delicious donuts with him.

"Yeah." I reply to him.

"I heard Ethan kept you company?" I feel his lips moving on my neck and his hot breath near my ears. I am too nervous I think my heart is running 120 km/h.

"Yeah." I manage to say.

"You used the tub?" This time, I feel him nip my ear. My whole body trembles and my heart races even more. I can even hear heartbeats on my ear.

"Ah..yeah." I breathe out the reply.

"You smell so good, sweat heart." Lucas' right hand starts massaging my stomach, leaving goosebumps on my arms and legs.

"Can we make out?" He runs his tongue on my ear and I shiver all over my body.

"Yeah." I say before I realized his question. I immediately panic.

"No no I mean.." I wasn't able to finish the sentence when Lucas shifts and pushes me on the bed. In a flash, I am lying with my back on the bed. Lucas is on top of me and his thumb pushes my lower lip down before his mouth covers mine. My two hands are above my head and within his grasp. My eyes are like saucers when I feel him push his tongue inside of my mouth. This.. are we still.. is this still kissing?

I feel him chuckle before he assaults my tongue with his. I am so shy. I don't know what to do. Lucas keep on caressing my tongue with his until a heat within me starts to accumulate. I hear myself involuntarily moan. I feel him nip my lower lip before he separates his lips from mine. I dazedly look at him and see him smirk.

"You need to breath, my love." He whispers and I take in a lot of air. It seems like I forgot to breath while we were kissing. I feel my whole started to burn. That was.. embarrassing.

When my breath was even, I feel Lucas' lips on my neck, kissing his way up to my ears and my even breath starts to labor again. Lucas nips my ear and another row of goose bumps appear on my body. Right now, I have no strength left to even lift my hand.

"The path from your neck to your ear is very delicious." Lucas whispers on my ear. "But next time, I will kiss you downwards."

?!

I can't even respond to him before I feel his lips claim mine, again.
