Alpha's Cursed Luna novel Chapter 25

ELEANOR

I raised my head, and I find myself staring at the face of a dark, handsome, Herculean man crouching right in front of me. He had jet black hair, a pair of sparkling turquoise green eyes with a tint of amber that surrounded his pupils like a golden ring. I moved my eyes down to his imperious nose, angular cheekbones then towards his strong, concrete jaw. He had a square jawline that enhanced his masculinity and appeal most of all, making him appear tough and fierce as a warrior on the outside perspective.

I found myself examining his body. He wore a black slim fit tuxedo and a pair of black slacks matching his black shoes that shone even under the dim light in the halls.

“Sorry,” I took his hand, and he helped me get back up until I was standing up on my two feet.

“Does it hurt?” He looked at me concerned.

“No, it’s fine” I said softly, smiling a little in a bid to avoid sounding so rude. I let go of his hand slowly and gathered my bearings. I smoothed my hands down the crinkled part of my dress.

“I’m glad.” The man then flashed me a wide smile I couldn’t seem to get out of my mind.

“By the way, my name is Ezekiel. What’s yours?”

“Eleanor,” I said softly and straightened my back while making sure to keep a good distance from him as well.

“You have a beautiful name,” He commented.

“Thank you,” I nodded at him and smiled when I suddenly felt a pair of hands touch my arms softly.

“I see you’ve met my sister-in-law, Ezekiel.”

Adrian’s tall and large figure thereafter appeared from behind me, making my whole body freeze in surprise.

I watched as the light in Tyler’s eyes slowly faded into a dark ominous glare.

“Adrian. What a surprise” He announced as he spoke in a clear, mocking tone, sneering at Adrian who swiftly moved to my front. Blocking me from Ezekiel’s view.

“I’ll take it from here. Don’t want to keep the alpha waiting.” Adrian said with gritted teeth.

I peered at Ezekiel over Adrian’s broad shoulders.

His eyes lingered on my face as though he had something he wanted to say.

“Let’s go,” Adrian snatched my hand and pulled me away from Ezekiel, who glared at the back of Adrian’s head but smiled when I looked back at him from afar.

“See you next time” He mouthed the words, and I nodded back at him, watching him disappear in the dark as we walked further into the hall towards the powder room.

“Do not talk to him again.” Adrian said, his words firm and precise, almost sounding like an order from an alpha he obviously is not.

I glanced at him, suddenly feeling a serious, suffocating aura swirling about Adrian who let go of my hand as soon as we reached the door.

“I’ll wait here, and escort you back to the party safe.” He said, and I nodded quickly before entering the powder room in a rush.

The powder room sparkled in almost every corner, except for the dark stalls that meant it was empty and available to use.

I then walked into one of those empty stalls to do my business and I was just about done when I heard the other doors suddenly click open with a loud bang. The sound of toilets flushing echoed as two people stormed outside the stalls. Their heels leaving loud, tapping sounds on the tiled floor.

“Can you believe it Barbara? That bitch is actually mated to Alpha Alex. Hmph. Does he lack any taste at all?" Paula's irritated voice echoed through the room. And the instant I recognized them, I pressed my hand on the wall while the other covered my mouth just when I was about to let out a gasp.

"Of all females in our pack, why her? Alpha Alex should be sucking up to a hot, sexy, gorgeous fucker like me, not an ugly, wolf-less freak Eleanor!" Barbara uttered with a grunt.
