Her Possessive Alpha

Chapter 68: SIXTY-EIGHT

Hard to resist

‘You're in love with him!!!’

This can’t be happening, it wasn’t supposed to get to this point, the mate bond was one thing, love

was another, but even though the mate bond was stronger, it didn’t come from her heart, but love did.

Ava gasped, she had never felt love before, it was such an exciting feeling she regretted that she

almost didn't want it to go away, the reason why it was almost was because these feelings in her heart,

were for the last person she ought to feel for, the one who should be her number one enemy, her

kidnapper, her abductor, the one took her away from her responsibilities, he took her, he took her wolf

and now he’s done the worst of all; he’s taken her heart.

This is not good, it’s not good at all because she doesn’t want to leave now when she ought to, if

word got out that the moonlight pack’s supposed Luna was here instead of fulfilling her responsibilities,

it would not be good at all for Ray because everyone would expect him to challenge Lucas to a duo to

the death for kidnapping his betrothed, she would also be punished too for prolonging her stay, and to

top it all Lucas also had a pending challenge with Ray already; touching his claim. All this, she made it

all happen, all because she couldn’t resist the urge to satisfy her desires, all because…

“Is everything all right milady? I saw you rushing out and thought you might need some help.”

The sound of the familiar voice made Ava’s heart skip three beats; it was Ethan.

**********

She quickly turned her face away from his direction, hoping he doesn’t notice who she is. What is

he doing here? Duh! Of course, he is a leader, he should be here, Ray should be here too, but what is

he doing HERE, in the balcony with her, when he should be inside with the other guests???

“Ummm…. I’m fine thank you, … I just needed some fresh air, that’s all. Don’t worry about me...” It

was a futile effort to try to shield her voice, but she still tried anyway.

Ethan had his answer already, he ought to go back inside now, but he didn’t budge, instead he

continued asking her more questions, questions that made her very uncomfortable, more

uncomfortable than she already was. As he came closer to her, she tried as much as possible to hide

her face from him, and avoid eye contact most especially.

“You’re alpha Lucas De’ Clan’s mate? I saw you enter with him. Funny he’s never spoken about

you during our meetings, did you two just get mated?”

“Ummm….”

“Beta Ethan, such a pleasant surprise, I’ve never met you in person before.”

Even though his voice startled her, Ava was more than glad for Lucas’s interruption, he’d just

walked into the balcony after she was nowhere to be found in the hall.

“Oh umm… Alpha Lucas, I must say it’s such an honor to meet you in person myself. I saw you

once if you remember though, that day at the gas station with my alpha Ray Devlin’s betrothed, Ava

Maynard. Unfortunately, she was never joined to him because she went missing shortly after. You are

aware that the supposed-to-be Luna of the moonlight pack has been missing for over a month now, are

you?”

Lucas smirked. “Of course, I am. Word spreads quite well enough over all the territories, but

however, I do not see the matter as any of my concern.”

“Oh, I just….”

“That will be all Beta Ethan, I think it would be best if you go in and join the other guests now.”

Ava didn’t turn to look until she heard Ethan’s footsteps trail off slowly in the direction of the event

where the orchestra was now playing. Lucas walked slowly towards her, when he reached where she

was, he pulled off his jacket and wore it on her before he shielded her body with his from behind,

snaking his arms round her waist, she accepted his warm embrace, resting her the back of her head on

his chest.

They both gazed at the moonlight, where the beautiful moon goddess resides, adamant to the

happy cheery sounds coming from the hall behind them, the only thing that mattered the most at that

moment was the feel of each other’s presence, and Ava began to wonder; how she would do away with

him with it was time to leave.

She then felt his hand let go of her waist and a light tug on her hair, he was raising her hair up

whilst trying not to ruin the lovely knotted braids Nani tied for her when she was getting ready, she

looked down and saw that he rested a necklace on her neck. It was a moon necklace; with the

encryption of two wolves, lovers attached to it; the symbol of the mate bond created by the moon

goddess.

“It’s beautiful,” she awed.

“I know, I made it especially for you because I want you to always think of me when you wear it,

wherever you go, I’ll always be close.” This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

“Lucas…”

“Shhhh…It’s ok, Ava, it’s ok,” he whispered as he planted a kiss on the back of her neck. Oh, why

was he so hard to resist?

“Would you like to dance with me?”
