Alpha's Cursed Luna novel Chapter 11

ELEANOR

I bit my lip, not knowing what else to do when I heard him grunt slightly. Then he cleared his throat and I felt a hand now touching my chin. His touch alone was seemingly alike to the jolt of electricity coursing through my body as he lifts my head to look at him and meet his eyes.

Heat rushing to my face, I stared at his piercing blue eyes that was looking right into my soul. It's like my face and whole body is burning under the intensity of his gaze and his overwhelming touch.

"You look.... beautiful" He leans in his face closer to me and I didn't know whether I could take it anymore.

It has gotten to a point where the smell as aell as the hotness of his breath was already turning me on, that I needed to push him away slighty as I settle my hands on his rock hard chest.

God I can already feel his abs right here.

Instead of pushing him away I pushed my body back as Alexander stood so strong and hard. I looked away from his gorgeous face, feeling my heart quickening its pace and knowing I just couldn't take one moment of intensity with him right now. I felt defeated.

"Uhm.. Thank you.. You look nice" I commented, glancing at his glittering gray tuxedo matching his pants and his beautiful platinum blonde hair that was neatly pulled to the back. His eyes as deep and piercing as they were yesterday when I walked into that meeting room.

He arches his lips to a smile and catches my hand to lock in his.

"The fact you're wearing the dress means you agree to be announced officially as my mate" He looks me over before pulling me again to his chest like it's a normal thing he do to girls.

When my breasts hit his chest, he suddenly groaned and his eyes became dark with lust, probably his wolf that was trying to take over his body.

I didn't do it on purpose, but that was the outcome of him pulling me into his body so suddenly.

"I think we should go now" I watched as his eyes lost its darkness to bring back his piercing blue ones staring at me.

My lips parted slightly, not knowing what to do or say next as he seemingly regained control.

I plaster a smile on my face, trying to breathe as steadily as I could and not panic.

I gently push him away in a bid to calm my heart beating rapidly with the closeness of our bodies, my breasts pressed against his chest.

He lets me go, and I'm relieved he did even though his hesitance made him grip me back to him tighter for a second.

'You'll be alright, Eleanor' Ares reassures me. I nod to myself and force a smile to creep on my face.

"I'm ready" I say.

Alexander holds his arm out to me and I shyly took ahold of the tattoed muscle arm of his as he guides me to the halls.

We walked slowly, afraid I would trip with my high heels if we walked too fast. When we got to the top of the stairs, I couldn't help but want to gag seeing that the hall was fully packed. There were hundreds of pairs of eyes staring at us, and I could already hear murmurs among the large crowd whispering about the fact I'm the onyl wolfless girl in my pack, which deep in my heart I know isn't true.

My breathing quickened and I felt as though I would faint at any moment. My eyes nervously scan the crowd who all looked up to meet me in the eye.

I can also feel Alexander's gaze on me, but I was too nervous to look at him and turn back now. It will be awkward.

I continued to walk down the stairs while unconsciously gripping Alexander's arm with my hand and the other hanging loosely on the side. I dropped my eyes to the stairs to make sure I'm stepping on concrete, yet secretly wanting to escape the scrutinizing eyes of the crowd.

Out of the corner of my eye, I notice Alexander was still looking at me and I wondered how he was able to do it without checking his every step. Raising my brows, I whip my head to face him and when I met his sky blue eyes watching me closely as though mesmerized, I just had to stumble on my steps until I felt my back swoosh backwards in the air, almost hitting the ground. I close my eyes instinctively awaiting for my biggest fall and my next moment of embarrassment, but it never came.

Rather than feeling the pain from a strong thud colliding with my head and back, I felt warm hand wrap around my waist expertly and another around my shoulders I was pulling back uncomfortably.

Just then I opened my eyes, and I almost screamed when Alexander's face was leaning too close towards me, too close I that I couldn't even continue to breathe. Our faces were only two inches apart from each other.

His brows were thick, his nose tall and boldly shaped, his lips so plump, and I noticed he even had scars from claw marks on his right cheek, as if someone had attempted to tear off his head but didn't get close enough to do so. My brows furrowed just looking at it. I felt a tug in my heart I couldn't quite put a finger on. But as he leaned in, his face coming closer to gaze upon me, blood pumped intensely through my veins and my heart raced increasingly fast.

I can smell his intoxicating scent, his breath, his hair that smelled of mint shampoo. So refreshing, and oh so delicious.

I mentally face palmed myself when I realized I was actually checking him out. Him. The Alpha of our enemy pack for goddess sake.

The crowd gasped. It was only then that I realized where my hands were gripping at. Apparently I was gripping the back of his head, afraid of falling to my shame that made me reach for his head upon instinct.

Slowly, he helped me back up to my feet and I finally let go of his head.

The moment he pulled back from the closeness between our bodies, a frown formed on my face for a reason I'm vaguely aware of. I don't know why but I regretted he had to let me go just when our lips felt like they were gonna smash together and our tongues about to fight. I stifled a gasp at the thought.
