Alpha's Cursed Luna novel Chapter 52

ELEANOR

“You’re a liar.” I mutter.

I felt cheated.

A building tension wrapped the air about us and I glared at the tiled floor beneath my feet. In this moment, I wished the floor could just open up and gobble me whole. Sweep me away from this place.

Away from him.

“I know...I’m sorry. I couldn’t think of any other way to—“

“To what?!” I spun around facing him. Rings of powerful, raging fire surrounded my crimson orbs until my lips let out a sharp breath. Apparently, he’d been leaning down as he walked closer towards me the exact moment I whipped my face to him.

Inexplicable sparks then traveled throughout my whole body, my eyes fluttering in a moment of confusion and shock.

I stare dazed at the impeccably handsome face of my mate, merely an inch gap between his and mine.

My full breasts bounced in front of him and I watched in horror as his eyes were slowly turning pitch black. He let his gaze linger there but not too long as he lifted his eyes meeting mine.

Heat immediately rushed to my whole face, my body feeling extremely hot and I bit my lip. Before things could get any worse, I stumbled backwards, avoiding his now black eyes piercing mine.

“Tell me, did your mate die? Or was she even real?” My voice was just above a whisper.

I hugged my chest. I wasn’t really sure if it was meant to conceal my body or if it was because I felt naked in front of him.

“Eleanor, your hair—“

“Just answer me, Alex.” I cut him off again, snapping my head and looking him straight in the eye.

Raising one brow, I swayed my hips slightly, watching him as the pitch black in his eyes faded back to reveal their original color—Blue.

Alex sighed, throwing his hands up in the air as if to admit defeat. He steps back, creating a decent gap between his and my body, now burning in a passionate desire I could barely hold back.

“No, that was indeed a lie,” He states.

Biting my lip, I nod while I squeezed my eyes tightly shut. I tossed my hands to my sides. Frustrated.

“I had a feeling you’d want to run, that was why I said that. I just... wanted you to stay” He says.

“Have you ever considered what I, want?” I whisper, my face now void of any emotions as I stand completely still with arm leaning on the wall.

If he just told me the truth, I would've gotten far away from this pack by now. To a place my mate could never find me. And he could’ve stayed safe.

I feel him slip his hands around my waist. His body advancing closer until I could feel his crotch pressing against my ass.

My heart almost leapt out of my chest when he leaned down and buried his nose in my neck. He moved my hair gently, tucking it behind my ear before he started nibbling on my skin. Instinctively, I bobbed my head. Giving him a better access to my marking spot which made him groan as though in approval.

“Stop,” I whisper, gently gripping his hands that insisted on exploring my body continuously.

I can hear Alexander’s rough breathing as he planted small, sweet kisses on my neck.

“Tell me..” He leaned closer to my ear.

“What you want..” Alexander spoke huskily, sending shivers of pure excitement snake up my spine. He cupped my cheek, gently turning my face towards him. His hand still gripped my waist as he stood too dangerously close behind me.

Our eyes locked and I felt my lips parting to utter a reply.

“I want you...”

His eyes lit up almost immediately before I even finished.

“To let me go.”

Disappointment whirled in his eyes but I didn't care. When he was sure I was dead serious with my words, he sighed and spins me around to face him while creating a much needed distance between us.

"Do you hate me?" He asks.

Pursing my lips into a thin line, I shook my head gently.

"No, I don't. I just need some time alone," I say truthfully. Shrugging my arms off and stepping back in a bid to evade his tantalizing touch.

A brief moment of silence enveloped the hallway before I heard him sigh.

“I spoke with that man on a suit back there, he said I can take you home,”

I remember Devin as the man wearing a tailored suit. How have I not heard him tell Alex that?

My lips parted slightly but no words came out my mouth. Instead, I nod and the next thing I know, my hand is suddenly intertwined with his.

We headed to his shiny blood-red lamborghini parked right in front of the building's entrance.

The drive back to the Red Silverwood pack lasted two long, devastating hours before we finally arrived.

I strided out the door, dashing towards my own room without looking back.

“Wait, Eleanor!”

I don’t listen and continue to trudge up the staircase until I finally reach my room.

Alex followed closely behind me, but before he can grab me by my waist again, I slammed the door right on his face.
