Chapter 10: EMPTINESS

MONICA'S POV

His soft lips pressed on mine and I felt like I had lost myself into his world. His lips moved, electrifying me and taking me places. "How come he has so much power over my body when we only just met?" I asked myself inwardly as I closed my eyes and responded to the kiss properly.

His tongue penetrated my slightly opened lips and found its way to my mouth where it twirled, danced, and dominated my tongue. The kiss lasted for minutes and he only stopped when I was out of breath. "Hmm..." I groaned as I placed my hand on my chest and steadied my breathing. "That... was so good..." I mumbled inwardly.

"Now, that's enough for a reward. Go to bed."

While I was still thinking we would continue and maybe take it a bit further [winks] he had to cut the whole thing short and send me to bed. Who does that? "Be... bed? I should go and sleep now?" I stuttered with my eyes opened wide. How could he say that?

Alpha Brimstone stared at me for some seconds without saying anything. His hands on my waist moved harshly and lifted me to his lap. "Yes, You should sleep now. I want to sleep too." He said as he stood up and turned his back to me. "Oh, Yes! We are sleeping in a bed, I hope you don't snore?"

Argh! What the hell?! "I don't!" I snapped and he nodded before walking toward the bed and he laid in it.

"Is he going to sleep like that? Will he really sleep?" I asked myself inwardly as I watched him relax in bed and closed his eyes. I sat on the seat in front of the mirror, staring at him and hoping he would open his eyes, change his mind and return to me but my hopes were too high. F**k!

I've always wondered why women cry whenever their husbands denied them but tonight, I felt like I was going to kill someone. How could he do that to me?

Many minutes that seemed like thousands of decades later... I finally stood up from the seat and walked to the bed. I stood in front of it with my eyes fixed on him but he wasn't moving at all and it seemed he had slept off. "This is crazy." I cried inwardly before slumping into the bed. "Pervert! Want to do it with a man you just met in a few hours? Never knew you liked it so much." Edna mocked me, worsening my already sour mood and I rolled my eyes.

"Yes, I just met him in a day. I shouldn't want something so... so deep." I grumbled to myself as I forced myself to sleep but it was too hard... My body was hot.

A MONTH LATER...

"His Lordship might not return tonight as he's still busy with the meeting, My Lady." One of the maids said to me and I nodded as they continued combing my hair.

It had been days since I last saw him and for some reason, it was making me sad. We did our wedding three weeks ago, traveled abroad for our honeymoon which went on for only a week with only a few kisses here and there and we returned to the Pack a week ago.

Although we continued to spend the night together, the highest he did to me was kiss me and he would stop immediately. It was like I wasn't sexy enough for him and it hurt my pride to admit it. He had left for a meeting for four days now and he had not returned since then. He even left with Alpha Zac, making everything unbearable for me.

"Are you ready to sleep now or will you still eat?" One of the maids asked me and I frowned. "I just ate a few hours ago. How do you expect me to eat again now?" I questioned, trying to hide the anger in my voice.

The maids glanced at each other before returning their gaze to me. "You've only eaten biscuits this money. You haven't eaten any food since yesterday and this has continued for days now. Hope you are good, My lady?" One of them asked and I frowned. Thinking about it, I realized I hadn't been eating since the day Alpha Brimstone left because for some reason, I felt empty and I lost my appetite.

This sudden desire to have him in me had continued for a month now but there was no way I could tell him that and he had refused to touch me either. I stood up from the seat and walked toward the bed. "I'm going to sleep now and eat tomorrow. I'm okay," I replied to the maids who were staring at me with fear in their eyes. They were probably scared of what would happen to them if Alpha Brimstone returned and met me looking malnourished or maybe... dead?

"Should we tell the Alpha when he returns or should we call the Pack healer to come and check you, My Lady?" One of the maids asked but I only relaxed in bed and covered myself with the duvet. "It's okay. I'm fine. You all should leave now, I need my privacy." I said to them as I closed my eyes but opened them back to watch them leave the room. They looked at me for a while and bowed before leaving the room.

Alpha Brimstone hadn't called me since he left but I wouldn't call him either... I wouldn't call him first even though I missed him so much that I felt like I was going to die. "Don't you think it's better to call him and hear his voice rather than sulking here all alone? You're going to look older than your age at this rate, Ica." Edna scolded me teasingly and I grunted. "Very soon, I will replace my wolf," I mumbled before forcing myself to sleep.

I opened my eyes to a sweet aroma in the room but strangely, it didn't feel like it was coming from food. What's this sweet aroma about? I wiped my face with the back of my hand as I looked around the room and there, right in front of the mirror was a figure... A figure who looked so familiar that my heart started racing in my chest just by staring at his back. "Are you... Are you..." I stopped as I was about to ask if he was real or not but he appeared in front of me the next seconds and grabbed my chin.

"Did you miss me, My dear Luna?" He asked me as I stared straight into his eyes as if I was being hypnotized.
