Chapter 7 Chapter 7
Marcus's POV
"Oh fuck... Marcus... yes!"
"Fuck you feel so damn good!"
I thrust hard into Lila' tight little pussy, as if the harder I fucked her, the more frustration and anger I could release. I couldn't believe that Sophia, that fucking woman, had hooked up with the Alpha of the Wolfalpine Pack and walked out of my territory with such fucking arrogance.
I adjusted Lila's angle, raised her legs, and pushed myself deeper inside her, enjoying the screams of the woman beneath me, but that rage I held inside was still not satisfied.
Hugo, my wolf, greedily inhaled Lila’s heady breaths with delight, relieved that we finally had our fated mate in our bed, but those purple eyes kept popping in my mind.
“I, Sophia Evergreen of the Darkridge Pack, thereby reject and nullify all things to you Marcus of the Darkridge Pack, and from this moment henceforth be no longer your Luna!”
I muttered a profanity under my breath as Sophia's words rang in my head and without thinking I slammed myself harder into Lila and her yell of agony snapped me out of it.
“I'm sorry, Lila, did I hurt you?”
“It’s okay Marcus, tell me what’s wrong.”
What on earth was I morale getting worried about? Now that I have a mate, I’m only going to get stronger, and I don’t necesarilly need Sophia just for the fuck anymore, but still I was unwilling to let her go.
“Don’t give me that shit sweetie from the beginning," the woman said, impatient under the spy's questioning. “ I’m really not sure what sort of illusion to go after for this one, but make sure that it is something you can sincerely believe in.”
“I don’t fucking understand you! Why can’t you just forget that slut Sophia?”
“You’re fucking obsessed! I just don’t think that bitch has done anything to merit such a great Alpha as Ethan.”
“Marcus?”
“My love, I am sorry. I just angry and I can’t make you get justiceI can’t stop thinking about how that bitch…. I still can’t believe that fucking slut had the audacity to poison you.”
“Jealousy is all she has my love, please don't take it to heart.”
“If that bitch had your heart and mind, nothing would have happened today”, ' i said under my breath as i kissed her, thrilled that I had found such an intelligent mate. I had not been prepared for Lila to break down but she abruptly hid her face then sobbed miserably.
"I am not anything like Sophia. She is a perfect Luna, Alpha heir to her pack and I'm nothiing.”
"No Lila, don’t say that!" I wiped away the tears from the corner of Lila's eyes and as I looked up at the person that I was holding in my arms my entire heart was aching.
"You should give Lila a title, Marcus."
"A title?"
"Yes, that’s right. Why not give her the Luna title? The slut is gone now anyway."
"You're right!"
"My love, just give me a few days and we will perform Luna's succession ceremony for you. This way when the whole world laughs at your beginnings, no one will have the right to."
Lila’s eyes lit up as she wrapped her arms around my neck and kissed me gratefully.
“I love you so much, Marcus."
" I love you too," I said, but holding Lila’s soft body in my arms, I found my thoughts drifting once again to Sophia.
Just wait Sophia. I’ll destroy your life. Yours and that bastard Ethans! Everything you have ever wanted will come tumbling down and I’ll become the strongest Alpha in the nation!
Just wait! You’ll be running back to me in no time, and when you do I will strip you down to the lowest ranking werewolf and I’ll have you groveling on your knees for forgiveness as you say you’re sorry to Lila!
Sophia’s POV
Without much difficulty, Ethan took me from the Shadowmoon Pack. As if he were walking in his own backyard. As soon as the pack members recognised Ethan, they consciously moved out of his way.
Up until I got into Ethan's car, I still thought I was dreaming.
"Kira, did I sign up for this too fast?"
“I don’t know why you care about that. He's our mate.”
“I know that but look at it from different angle too. A Luna who has just resigned from her post turned around in the very next breath and got into another man’s car. Wouldn’t it be detrimental to the image of DarkRidge Pack?
"Oh my goddess Sophia, you were so long suppressed."
"Are you all right? Can I do anything to put you at ease?" Ethan was sitting beside me, but then he abruptly swung around and inquired how I was doing, breaking up the discussion between kira and me.
His intoxicating odour of Cedar and wildness once again battered my senses and made my heart race.
It was too much so that when I raised my head and our gazes met, I immediately looked away.
The honesty behind his breathtaking eyes was written so deeply that I couldn't stay beneath them any longer.
"I'm all right, thank you." I said quietly as I forced a smile.
There was a strange silence in the car and my hand that was clutching a part of the hem of my skirt subconsciously reached out and pulled the coat which he had thrown over me tighter around my figure.
Yet as I did, my heart dropped a little when I saw the bright red lipstick stain on his coat.
I knew it!! How could the Alpha of the
Wolfalpine Pack not need the attention of a woman? It just wasn't in the cards.
"Lila is a nice girl and she can help you with the pack affairs." I couldn't stop thinking about those words from that shit Marcus. If the Alpha of a tiny little pack could be so brazen as to line me up with a woman who held no status, then what on earth did that mean about where I fit next to a powerhouse werewolf like Ethan?
"How far are we from your territory?" I whispered, edging away from Ethan gradually when he wasn't looking.
“We got here not too long ago, from that street sign we came not so far behind.”
“The street sign?”
If I recall correctly, we haven’t seen the last street sign for half an hour.
"My palace is just up the road, what do you reckon?" Ethan said as he wound down the window and gestured out of the window.
I looked out the window and went where he was pointing and I was quite stunned.
The silhouette of the massive palace in the distance, made it hard to tell how big a place was like on the inside, and it made me wonder just how big Ethan’s whole land was like.
After all, the palace seemed to me like a tiny spot on the horizon from where I was sitting, and unless I had the eyesight of a werewolf I would hardly be able to see any of the features.
It felt like we were in for a long trip before we reached our destination.
“If you’re tired, rest a while. I’ll wake you up when we get there.”
“Ethan.” I was obviously tired after this day that holy hell had turned against me but thoughts kept on racing through my head I wanted sceners and I just couldn’t calm down
Ethan seemed to understand this and after calling my name again softly, he reached his hand out and pressed it to my forehead. I was a little stunned because I didn't understand what he was trying to do.
Then, all of a sudden, I felt a gentle wave emanating from his palm, and a warm, soothing feeling rippled through me, washing gently over me and soothing every tense muscle and nerve as it passed, leaving me completely and utterly relaxed.
Was this truly the power of the mate bond? I thought deeply about it as I felt my eyes grow heavy and before I knew what was happening, I had fallen asleep.
