Alpha's Cursed Luna novel Chapter 19

ELEANOR

“Well then, I guess I wouldn’t need to use this anymore.” Adrian grabbed a bundle of rope hidden just behind the door. Dropping it until it lands with a thud on the floor.

I stared at the thick brown rope before travelling me gaze over to Adrian’s amused face. My face white as plain sheet.

“What the fuck, Ian?!” Alex jumped in front of him. Grabbing the rope and tossing it far away from me at this point. Letting out a growl that made the walls rumble in the room as he released his dominance warningly.

I stepped back and watched as the two brothers stared down at each other impatiently.

“Won’t you fucking relax? It’s just a fucking joke!” Adrian raised both of his hands in the air, pretending to submit even if his mouth says otherwise. His face even looked like he was enjoying this as if he’s playing some type of game. I stared at him, wondering what could have gotten inside his head.

On the other hand, Alex stood in front of me in a protective stance. Blocking me from Adrian’s view completely.

“Don’t you ever fucking touch her Ian. She’s mine.” He warned. Speaking loud but slowly in an extremely serious tone.

At this point, I could not deny how I felt safe in Alexander’s presence. His strong dominating aura allowed me to feel as though I will never get hurt as long as he’s by my side.

Right now, it’s exactly how I feel.

“Not for long.” He glanced over Adrian’s broad shoulder. Eyeing me before he gave me a wink.

Alexander hissed but it did nothing to make Adrian flinch or jump where he stood. I noticed how he was so relentless in pushing his brother to the limits. Clearly, he wasn’t afraid of his own Alpha brother.

“What do you mean?” Alex raised his voice.

I peered at Adrian who just shrugged. A smirk evident in his face which I was pretty sure wasn’t there before.

He turned on his heel and exited the room. Leaving the both of us stunned with his words as well as behavior.

My heart raced, and I couldn’t shrug off this uncomfortable feeling suddenly rising in my chest.

I heard Alex sigh. Shaking his head before turning back around to face me.

“Forget all about him. My brother doesn’t usually mean anything he says.”

Usually?

“I’ll call someone immediately to help you get dressed.”

I watched as his eyes turned bright gold. Nodding my head, I ripped my eyes off his face and settled on the letter I threw to the bin that day. The threat from my caring father who even bothered to write me after he sold me off to his greatest enemy in the name of peace. Peace that he would certainly take away once the curse sets in me.

I sneered at the thought of hurting Alex. He did nothing wrong to deserve this. He did nothing wrong to deserve what I am about to do to him. To his pack he took over without neither of his parents. And the fact that the reason he suffered all these years was all connected to my family was certainly making it far worse than it already is.

I drew my eyes back towards Alex whose eyes have now returned to their natural color; blue.

“Linda will be your handler. She’ll be up in two.” He informed.

I nodded and waited for him to make his way out.

“I guess I should head over to my room to change now. Wouldn’t want to embarrass my beautiful match at the party.” He chuckled then winked at me. Eyeing me with those piercing blue eyes that could see deep into me, maybe even further.

Suddenly, heat rushed to my face and I smiled, shaking my head at him.

“I rather think it’s the other way around.” I said softly. Raising a brow as I looked at his incredibly handsome face. Then looking over his toned, beefy body hugged tightly by his gray shirt tight enough it fit him like a glove.

He chuckled lightly. The sound of his laugh was oddly making me feel all jittery deep inside.

What is this feeling?

“Can I ask you something?”

I now brought all my attention to him and I nodded at his words.

“What made you want to go to the party?”

Curiosity was evident in the expression on his face. Raising a brow, he straightened and stared at me. I could tell he was highly interested in my reply, but I was yet to conjure the right words to formulate a lie he needed to hear.

“I am your mate, aren’t I?” I forced the words out my mouth, and it seemed to affect his mood positively.

His curious face lightened up then formed a brilliant smile that instantly turned my bones into jelly. I could barely keep my feet on the floor as he flashed me the sexiest smile I’ve ever seen. Once again, my heart raced. A million times more than it should.

“You’ve decided.” He said as though he was still consumed by his utter disbelief as he stared at me like I was a dream.
