Alpha's Cursed Luna novel Chapter 14

ELEANOR

The thing that was hanging between Adrian's legs felt hot and hard beneath my thighs. Though it happened for only about two seconds, I felt it. My heart raced rapidly as if I'd just run a marathon and I was too nervous to glance back at Adrian's face. So I immediately picked myself up from his lap, before Alexander, who was already glaring threateningly at him, explode like a ticking bomb.

The room was filled with Alexander's low growls the next moment, and I nervously looked up at him, but his gaze was completely fixed on his brother.

Whipping my head to the side, I caught Adrian smirk at him, making my eyes widen in confusion and shock. I turned my head to look at Alexander who I noticed was clenching his large fists.

I gulped, suddenly burdened by the stink of heavy tension swimming in the air around us. I could have sworn their energy were clashing in the middle right where I stood amidst it all.

As I looked closely at Alexander, I saw his eyes darken completely, his black wolf showing. I drew back a bit and felt my heart race rapidly while I watched the scene.

"What's the matter, brother?" Adrian asked, before plastering yet again another sly smile on his handsome face.

He was teasing our mate. I glanced at Alexander and caught him close his eyes abruptly, as if in desperation to take control over his body once again, as his wolf seemed to be rather furious that moment when he saw me land on his brother's lap.

"N...Nothing." Alexander replied, gritting his teeth as he said so.

I whipped my head to look at Adrian, who is now watching his brother with an amused expression on his face. I looked at both at them back and forth as they shared a moment of silence.

Suddenly, I felt something stir in my stomach. I feel like somehow, I had something to do with the silent battle between the two.

I gulped, racking my brain for words to break this awkward moment between all of us.

"Adrian was just showing me the paintings, Alpha, sir" I struggled to release the words with my hands behind my back and my eyes dropped to the tiled floor.

The next second I felt his fingers on my chin, raising it for our eyes to meet.

My heart skipped a beat when I looked into his dazzling eyes, and he into mine. His wolf seemed to have retreated and our mate seemed completely in control. Relief washed over me, knowing there'd be no fighting scenes happening anytime soon.

"Alex. My name is Alex." His voice came out deep and husky and just inexplicably dangerously sexy.

My lips parted while I let my eyes trail down his pink, plump lips. I could barely resist licking my lips. Hunger and lust caved its way all the way down my core, as the smell of my own arousal filled the air.

He sniffed my scent lingering, then a low growl reverberated through the room quite instantly. I withdrew from his touch gently, feeling so flustered I wanted to jump through the window and swiftly disappear.

Damn these urges. I groaned.

My cheeks burned from embarrassment and I looked down yet again, allowing my eyes to roam the minute details engraved on the design of the tiles beneath me.

"What are you thinking about, Eleanor?" His voice came again, but it came through a whisper in my ear. His breath tickled the skin on my neck, I was trying not to shiver.

I slowly raised my head, looking up at his godlike face and saw deep through his eyes the want, the need, the desire that drove our wolves crazy within.

"Nothing" I pretended. Had to. I just couldn't believe how easy he was able to make me feel this intense, with only his breath touching my skin closely.

He stalked closer towards me, and the more he got closer the more I clenched my thighs tightly together.

"Oh?" He stopped literally one inch apart from me.

Even though our skin didn't touch, I could feel him. Somehow, my wolf deemed it necessary to paint inappropriate images of me rocking this dangerously sexy beast to the core, and me reveling in the pleasure he and I could give to one another so fiercely.

Before I could take another piece of Ares' imagination and mix it with my equal desire to touch our mate, I stuffed those thoughts deep in the shadows of my mind where light would never touch them anymore, burying my feelings deep within it.

'I'm sorry, Ares. We can't. You should know it better than I do that we can never give in to our own desires.' I reminded my wolf.

Ares said nothing, looking as dejected as ever upon recalling the bitter truth. Long before we were even born, this stupid curse has forbidden us to have our mate.

I locked eyes with Alex.

'This can't be happening' I thought to myself.

The sound of the door knob being twisted and pulled snapped me back into bitter reality as I shot my eyes at the door.

"Pardon me for my rudeness. I was just about to leave when I realized I was being a disturbance to your MATING session. Please, continue." He pulled up a wide grin before banging the door as he made his exit.
