Alpha's Cursed Luna novel Chapter 22

ELEANOR

Alex looked at me with a hint of mischievousness in his piercing blue eyes. Wrapping an arm around my shoulder, he crashed my front against his chest. I instinctively placed my free hand on his rock-hard abs, and almost immediately heat rushed throughout my body, reaching my face in miliseconds time. My face was burning hot the moment I traveled my eyes over to Alex' face. Sculpted by the gods themselves, smirking at me as he took in the sight of my face in merely a few inches apart from one another.

"Go. We'll be there in five." Alex stated, his words carrying an echo waving across the room.

Elijah stood uo to his feet and spoke. "Yes, Alpha." With the aid of my enhanced senses, I heard Veronyka grunt and mumble words that sounded all muffled under her breath, reflecting her unbearable annoyance as she glared at me. When the rest of the group got up and made their exit towards the door, I spotted Linda glancing at me with eyes evident of intense worry and fear. But when I turned to meet her gaze, she widened her eyes in horror and hurriedly rushed towards the door. She was the last person to leave, making me and Alex the only people inside the room.

The look in Linda's eyes when she threw me those nervous glances caused a weird, uncomfortable feeling to settle deep within my chest.

"You look awfully worried." Alex's deep and husky voice abruptly pulled me out my thoughts, forcing my eyes to look and stare into nothing but his dangerously handsome face.

I curved my lips, forming a small smile as I met his penetrating gaze.

"Quite the contrary. My blood is coursing with excitement now, Alpha." Lifting my hand, I trailed my fingers down from his earlobe then traveling down to his concrete jaw. He caught my fingers instinctively, pressing it ever so slightly in his calloused hand.

"Don't. Or else I won't stop myself from marking you in that sexy dress of yours, Ellie." He warned.

"O-okay.." I blushed, ignoring the loud thumping sound drumming in my ears when he said those words to me.

Raising my hand lightly, I watched wide-eyed as he leaned forward and kissed the back of my hand softly. I had felt his lips gently brushing my skin and I suspected it had been the main reason for the butterlies constantly fluttering in my stomach right after.

Our eyes locked as soon as he looked back up at me. Feeling his cerulean blue eyes watching me with a level of intensity I could hardly take.

"Turn around." He ordered me.

I couldn't help but stare at him with a confused look.

"Why?"

Alex chuckled and flashed me his signature smile that had taken my breath away several times.

"Just trust me."

Without a doubt I trust him, but in my mind I wondered why he was asking me this now. Nodding, I made a full turn, my back now against Alex who suddenly moved all my hair to one side, exposing my bare neck.

I gasped, "No!"

Is he going back at his word? Did he trick me? How could I be so stupid? I cursed myself for even trusting him at the first place, clenching my fists the exact moment he smoothed his fingers around my marking spot.
