Power
After Cronus's departure I can hardly smile anymore, the small light I possessed in my hold has left leaving me with a cold empty darkness. I should be happy that the female who brought out the ugly jealousy from within me has left, giving me all my male's attention but how can I when she took Cronus with her?
I hate myself further for being so selfish wanting Cronus by my side despite his feelings towards me. But wouldn't any other wolf be the same if they were in my shoes? When you find something that you have been dreaming of all your life, would you let it go?
Deimos's and my relationship haven’t changed a bit. He's still the ever so emotionless Alpha and I am still the hopeful Luna, waiting for him to come to me. While I hide behind pillars trying to look at him without letting him know, he spends his time with Ragon papers in hand.
I often feel like a pup stalking the male she likes. Perhaps I should kidnap Ragon and take his place. Deimos spends more time with him than me. I think of my devious plan as I choose a book to read in Deimos's private library.
Sitting on the warm couch in front of the window, I begin to shut down my thoughts letting the book devourer me. Further into the book, I became so engrossed that I didn't notice that there was another Alpha in the room sitting opposite to me. Keeping my eyes on the page, my hands reach towards the coffee cup on the side table.
My fingers dip into the hot liquid making me flinch and wake up from my state. As I bring my fingers to my mouth, blowing on them my eyes widen as they catch hold of Deimos silently watching me sitting with crossed legs, his arm on the sofa's hand rest and palm holding his chin.
"I apologize. I-I didn't know you were here." I softly whisper to him while he makes no movement. "W-would you like some coffee? I can make you some." I ask him yet he still remains the same, silently staring at me.
My mouth salivates when I finally notice him wearing glasses. It's the first time I have seen him wearing it. It just adds to his sculptured look making him look even more hotter if that's possible. He feels my gaze upon him that he tilts his head to the side as if acknowledging it.
I wish to know what he feels and thinks but that would only be possible if we mark each other. The chance of that happening remains only in my dreams.
As nervousness builds in the pit of my stomach with our stare down, I raise the book in front of my face covering me from his sight often bringing it down slowly to peek at him. When I do so for the third time, I see his attention is back to reading the files he possesses in his hands giving me a chance to have a better look at him.
My eyes trail from the tips of his thick locks of hair to his beautiful eyes covered by glasses, down to his sharp jaw that holds his full pink lips. Looking back to his eyes, I see them on me making my eyes widen in turn bringing the book back in front of my face.
I keep the book up there even when I hear his footsteps towards me. He comes stands in front of me, takes the book gently from my hands and turns it clockwise returning it back to me.
"I have never seen anyone reading a book upside down in my entire life, mate." He leaves telling me those words making my cheeks heat up to a deep red. I cannot believe I had the book upside down the whole time in front of him. Why must he have such an effect on me? That I don't even know what I am doing.
Walking towards the dining hall, I stumble across Ragon while I show him my teeth my lips raising with a show of a fang. Ragon looks surprised putting his hand across his chest. "Have I done something to offend you, Luna?" Ragon asks me with a sly smirk.
"You take up too much of Deimos's time." I tell him folding my hands earning a deeper smirk from Ragon.
"That's only because you take too much of Alpha's attention, he doesn't concentrate on his work." He tells me with a playful tone making me blush. "If you notice carefully, you can feel him watching you and you can also hear me screaming at him to concentrate in the background." He tells me with a shrug walking with me to the dining hall.
Reaching the hall, I sit next to Deimos, as we begin to eat, I notice Deimos frowning at the papers next to his plate. He cannot seem to figure something out.
"May I?" I softly ask him.
"I don't think you'll know thi-" He begins to tell me as I cut him off.
"May I?" I ask him once more as he hands me the papers. I spend the rest of my dinner working out the problem that was on the papers as I often feel him watching me. As time passes, finishing my dinner I hand him back the papers.
"The problem you have on your hands is that you don't have enough place to keep the inventory that the pack possesses therefore you need to build another warehouse which is possible as we have plenty of free land. My wolves are really good at building, they would be pleased to aid you." I tell him the problem and the solution he was trying to figure out while the pack watches and listens quietly impressed.
Putting my dish in the wash I quietly rush out to the warmth of my room preparing for the night. I wanted to finish the book I was reading as that's the only thing I seem to get excited about. Lying on my bed looking at the ceiling I twist and turn trying to get into a comfortable position flinching when the door to my room creaks open.
Deimos enters with a pillow and blanket, walking to the couch in front of my bed getting ready to sleep. I am speechless as this has only ever happened in my dreams. I wish to pinch myself to get up from the dream but everything feels so real therefore I see no need to. After a while Deimos's voice breaks through the silence.
"Thank you." He tells me softly.
"For what?" I question him.
"For coming to my aid." He answers me.
"You’re welcome." I tell him with a soft smile letting the silence surround us once more.
"Deimos?" I call out to him softly.
"Hmm?" He hums to me.
"Why are you here?" I ask him the question that kept lingering in my mind. He answers me with silence but speaks out after a while.
"I don't know. I don't know.... but I wish to find out." It wasn't the answer I was expecting but it was good enough for me. "Tomorrow, be ready by 3pm after lunch. I wish to take you somewhere." The minute he tells me those words I sit up watching him.
"What?" I ask him hesitantly. Perhaps I misheard.
"I won't repeat myself. Good night." He turns around on the couch showing his back to me as I lie back down looking at the ceiling with a big smile on my face.
The whole night I twist and turn under the sheets, as excitement sends butterflies through my stomach. Is it our first date? Did he actually ask me out on a date? Does he finally want to get to know me?
As daylight seeps through the windows and my eyes flutter open, they search for Deimos only to find nothing. It looks like he wasn't here last night, all proof that he slept here wiped clean. Looking at the clock on my bed stand it shows 2:15 pm making me nearly scream. How could I have slept so long? I even missed breakfast and lunch! Goddess, I was going to be late for the date!
Rushing to the bathroom getting ready I stumble down the stairs putting on my jacket. As I look up zipping up my jacket Deimos stands there looking at his watch wearing a black shirt and blue jeans with shades across his eyes. As I stand there admiring the specimen in front of me, he walks towards me looking at me through his shades.
"You are late." His husky voice breaks me free from my moment.
"I apologize, I overslept." I tell him looking at my feet embarrassed to which he doesn't answer leading me towards the car helping me get in the passenger seat.
As we drive, I ask him no questions, he takes me through the hills adorned with fresh green pastures near the river. I am in awe with its beauty. Rolling the window down I feel the soft wind blowing across my strands of hair as I take in a deep breath filling my lungs with fresh oxygen. My heart feels content.
Parking in a deserted area, he gets out coming to my side opening the door to my seat helping me get out. We don't speak a word; he leads me to the top of the hill as I follow him quietly. As he moves away from my sight, the beauty of the place ignites me with peace. We both quietly look at the water and trees we are surrounded by.
"This is my safe haven. I came and still come here when I need peace." He tells me softly. This is the first thing he told me about himself. I listen quietly to his words taking in as much as everything I can. "I brought you here as I promised I would share everything I can with you." He tells me while looking at me.
"This was the place that provided me refuge in the past when I felt I was drowning. Back then I didn't know to swim. I had to learn on my own. This place.... this place is very important to me." His eyes close as he breaths in the air and whispers to me. He is.... he is finally opening up to me.
"It's beautiful. Thank you for bringing me here." I tell him softly earning a nod in return.
"Come." He leads me deeper within the trees that opens a pathway to a small cabin inside. As he opens the door to the cabin my heart beats faster. It's just us in here, him and me. Alone. Doesn't seem like a good idea.
As I move around the cabin feeling the wood beneath my fingertips, I look towards Deimos as he lights the fire to the firewood. My eyes catch a carving on the wood as I move towards it reading it.
"Deimos's sanctuary." I read it out a loud touching it, feeling the carving with my fingertips.
"I carved that as a pup when I found and claimed this place as mine. I named it 'Deimos's Sanctuary' as this place gave me so much peace, a peace I couldn't find anywhere else." His voice made me flinch as he was really close behind me. I could feel his breath on his neck. Shivering I slowly move my hands away from the carving.
Deimos softly puts his nose into the nape of my neck making me shiver further leaving my breathless. Taking in a deep whiff of my scent I feel his hands shaking urging him to touch me. He holds my hips bringing my back to his front. Softly kissing the side of my neck, he sucks, nips and bites gently as I moan leaning further into him.
"Dinner!" I shout out stopping all movements cutting through the tension. I have never been embarrassed in my life as my cheeks turn a bright red. I make no move to turn around to face him. Why? Why did I scream that out? I am not even that hungry! Goddess, please save me from this, I can die with this embarrassment.
Moving away from me with a quick step backwards, "I'll go make us some." He tells me and walks towards the kitchen while I am squatting on the floor covering my red cheeks. Getting up slowly walking towards the kitchen I peek inside watching him getting the ingredients ready.
"You can come inside and sit if you wish." He tells me without even looking at me, probably felt my presence. Sitting on the counter watching him whip up our meal I feel so happy. Everything is finally falling into place this is how it should be.
"How is this place filled with goods and is clean?" I ask him softly.
"I have my...our wolves come here once a week to clean." He answers me. He didn't say my, he said our.... our wolves. Does that mean he acknowledges me now? Placing a plate with steaming food in front of me, we begin to eat quietly. It's a male's duty to cook and provide for his female and if he does so then he is completely hers. He has proved it to me.
After dinner we wash up all the used vessels and clean the cabin together without a word surrounded by a warm and comfortable silence. As he wipes the kitchen counter and I dust the couch he asks me a question.
"What do you wish to do now?" He asks me finishing his cleaning, wiping his hands with a clean cloth.
"What?" I ask him putting my hair behind my ears. Walking towards me he whispers his question in my ears softly.
"Do you wish to leave and go back or do you wish to stay here for the night?" As he asks me this question my heart stops and picks up its pace. S-Stay the night? Alone? The two of us? Here?
As I look at him, my chest heaving he watches my every movement carefully slowly analyzing me, looking from my eyes to lips and back to my eyes waiting for my response. Licking my lips, I answer him my truth.
"L-Lets stay h-here for the night." The minute I answer him, his lips meet mine in a harsh desperate kiss. Lifting me up by my thighs my legs wrap around his waist. Holding me up with his strong arms, he tugs my lower lips with his teeth as I moan into his mouth. The moment I was waiting for, the moment he devourers me.
Slowly walking towards the couch, he sits with me on top of him. As he pulls me hair back giving the perfect view of my neck, he bites softly tugging on my skin leaving his mark everywhere. Removing my bra slowly, he flicks my swollen nipple while sucking on the other tugging it softly with his teeth. My body heat increasing, my core growing wet by the second wanting friction.
I grind my heat against his cock, my breasts moving back and forth as he moans deeply putting his head into the warmth of my chest. Grinding our cores together while he holds my waist controlling the pace, I bite into his neck my instincts wanting to claim her mate. The faster we move, the louder our moans grow and the stronger our instincts grow to mark the other enjoying the pleasure. As my teeth elongate giving way to fangs aching for a bite, he switches our position in one swift movement.
Caging me under him our chests heaving we stare at each other, the sexual tension growing. He questions me closing his eyes taking a deep breath.
"How do you possess so much power?" His voice husky, this male is straining all his energy controlling himself.
"What power?" I ask him frowning, breathless.
"The power to drive a male like me, crazy. You possess so much control over me. That the first thing I think of when I wake up to the last thing I think of before sleep takes me is you, mate." His truth made my heart stop.
