Watching it all unfold before my eyes, seeing them together knowing that they had no idea I was only metres above them was more than comforting, he kept his distance and even though I saw him smile a few times I could notice his stand off posture, he was more interested in what was happening around him than the big red ray of sunshine beauty standing right in front of him. Not to mention mikes poor attempt at commentary which did make me crack a smile it was actually Enough to convince me that I had over reacted.
"I think we're leaving soon are you coming?" I ask mike once his eyes leave Ethan
"Yea I think the night is over" he says sounding distracted as he turns leaning back against the rail in deep thought
"No luck with davina" I say hiding my smile
My words bring him out of his thoughts as he looks to me with a grin
"I already got lucky" he says with a smirk
Oh that's right
"Smack the booty than run right?" I say laughing turning to leave as he stops me
He motions for me to take a seat which confuses me slightly as i thought we were going to get ready to leave.
"I know alpha Hanes well, how is his new pup doing? ... Noah isn't it? He says as he takes a seat
I pause for a moment in the sudden conversation change he's never asked me about my old pack before I take a seat next to him as he hands me a beer, I don't even like beer and sure as hell don't need anymore, I still feel a bit of a buzz but the nausea feeling has sided
"I haven't actually spoke to him since I left, apart from being my alpha I didn't really know him on a personal level" I answer while taking a sip of the beer.. yuck! Least in the beer bong you just swallow and it's fun if dumbass didn't make me lose, I mentally roll my eyes again
"Noah that's a nice name" I say as I hand him his beer back
"How do you know him? we are a days drive from midnight blue" doesn't sound far but packs don't usually venture long distances unless.. well many reasons I guess now, since becoming Luna and working through things in Ethan's office it has given a clearer view on the runnings of a pack.
Mike chuckles
"There's history between mine and your old pack from the alphas who reigned before, Ryan use to visit with his father... well we were only kids back than but we have remained good friends since"
I nod my head as I look up to see alpha ashwood enter the balcony we are seated on, great
"Am I interrupting" he asks as he continues to take a seat across from us not caring if our reply was a yes or no
"Not at all alpha ashwood, please join us, it's quite a party you have thrown here, surely tops the usual alpha meetings This place holds"
Mike sits back comfortably as he raises his beer to him
"Cheers"
Alpha ashwood smiles a he nods along raising his glass "cheers"
"Oh please excuse my rudeness I would like you to meet Luna West" he says waving a hand over to me
I sit there as I watch them look to me I've already met him even so much as had his crotch run up against my ass, so I just give him a forced smile.
"Luna pleasure to meet you" as he holds his drink up to me as if to say cheers. I don't like my drink but I take another swig just to be polite and let it drizzle down my throat hiding my cringe.
I wonder why he's acting like this is our first conversation tonight maybe mike being here, I'm so confused
"Luna was just telling me about the pack she grew up in.. you know Ryan Hanes?" Mike says twirling the beer in his hand
"Midnight blue" alpha ashwood directs the question to me
I nod my head saying yes as mike cuts in before I can speak "yep that's the one"
"You visited there pack not that long ago" mike says as I sense something else behind his words and I was right as alpha ashwoods eyes slightly narrow at mike.
"I heard along the grape vine you were looking for an alliance" mike says casually ignoring the subtle changes in his face
I look to alpha ashwood as he raises an eye brow but still with an unimpressed look
"Not sure where you are hearing this information from but that isn't what happened" he states and he doesn't explain why as he looks back at me as if he's probing me with his eyes
"Oh well you know it's like Chinese whispers out there you never know what to believe" mike says simply looking out into the blackest of black nights
"So I guess your enjoying catching up with members from your old pack as I believe that was beta cole you lost too while playing before" alpha ashwood leans back in his chair as he studies me with a devilish smile making my cheeks blush
"You guys are brother and sister correct?" He asks
Whats his deal I don't understand why
he's so interested in me
"yes beta cole is my older brother but i assume you already knew that" I question him maybe a little to bluntly
He looks me over as he takes a sip of his drink but doesn't respond and doesn't break eye contact either, is he reading me? Can he do what Ethan does? God I hope not
"it was a lovely surprise hearing they were going to be here," I continue to say awkwardly
Mike smiles at me .. what
"Surprise? That's odd considering we sent out the invites over a week ago" alpha ashwood says sounding very interested now
"Yea.. that's probably my fault I forgot to mention it to Luna, but you know how busy pack life can get" mike says happily resting his arm across the back of my chair.
What is he on about? I nod and agree as I try to keep up with mike and understand what the hell he is talking about.
"Yea so busy that finding out my old pack would be here especially my brother only a mere few hrs ago" I say a little to aggressively directing my frustration at mike even though I know it wasn't his fault
"Sorry if I'm over stepping the line here but wouldn't that be alpha west's responsibility" alpha ashwood says casually as he studies us now together.
I snort, Ethan tell me all details about anything I roll my eyes at the thought ha! Never!
My reaction made mike laugh as he looks back to alpha ashwood
" I think she answered that well enough" mike says watching alpha ashwood
I kinda get the feeling that mike is trying very hard to down play my relationship so I try and follow his lead I take a sip of my drink and look to alpha ashwood
"Yea me getting anything from him is like getting blood out of a stone" I say a little to bitterly feeling some truth to it
I watch the surprise wash over alpha ashwoods face as mike gives me a subtle pat on the back.
Alpha ashwood nods his head as he seems to process the conversation he visible relaxes like a decision has been made internally as he looks back up to me with a satisfied look, wow he has stunning eyes, I feel myself begin to blush again as my cheeks heat up, he just caught me staring at him and I didn't even look away or hide it, I must have a lot of alcohol running through my system to be this game.
The guys continue to make small talk as I wonder what Ethan is doing. He would have to know I'm up here but he still hasn't appeared, how long have we actually been up here it doesn't seem as chatty below us and the music has gotten a slight bit quieter.
I watch as alpha ashwood smiles nicely as his attention gets taken from my brother entering the balcony
"Good evening gentleman" he says taking a seat on the other side of me
"Beta cole" alpha ashwood answers
Mike giving him a raise of his beer
James turns to me and places an arm around me bringing me in for hug
"We are about to head off start making our journey back home" James says happily as if it's just us two here
"Yes I think it's time my guys get going to but it's been a great pleasure alpha ashwood" mike says making no effort to get up
"Well I'll come say bye to Rhianna and see you guys off" letting out a breath it has been a long night and I'm beginning to feel tired. James nod his head as he pulls me up to stand next to him
"Ready to roll alpha Reynolds" blake says standing next to mike. When did he pop in here.
"Kegan grabbed another ride so there's space for Luna west" Blake says nodding to mike
"Wait, what, I have a ride already" I say sounding confused
I look to mike than to James as they have a similar look on there face yet don't seem at all bothered by my sudden statement
"Sorry Luna I thought alpha west has informed you ... or alpha Reynolds" Blake announces seeming embarrassed now
"Whoops slipped my mind too" mike says placing his beer onto the table i narrow my eyes. So making me feel extremely unwanted was part of the plan or what ever the hell they have got going on here. Can't believe Chloe left me too. I feel so defeated as a wave of exhaustion falls over me. He was willing to leave me here on my own when he stressed so hard for me not to come. That doesn't make sense.
"Alpha west and the others have already left you will be travelling with us" mike says firmly standing to his feet now
I look to alpha ashwood as he moves to the edge of the balcony and looks down on the ones remaining to confirm also confirming my thoughts
"Well cheers for coming everyone please thank your packs also and have a safe journey home" alpha ashwood says politely he shakes hands with all the men, completely ignoring me now, as they say there thanks.
James eventually escorts me out
I'm use to being left out of the loop. I'm use to Ethan vanishing on me. I'm use to mikes well all alphas cryptic ways but I'm
Not use to being so dam confused about it all
"Luna"
James and I turn around to see alpha ashwood approach "it was such a pleasure to finally meet you it's not everyday someone steals the spot light from my Luna" he says sweetly as he kisses my hand
Not sure if I did that Luna ashwood just radiates beauty but I'll take his kind gesture and move along
"It was nice to meet you too" I say as I pull my hand back away from him. There is something about him that is very alluring but the more time I spent with him the more it just seems like a danger I don't wanna mess with.
"Beta cole please inform alpha Hanes that my meeting next week is no longer needed but I will be in touch" he says shaking James hand and gives me another look over
James nods as he pulls me closer to him and we turn to walk to the car park.
"That was fucken tense" James says quietly as we approach his car, I watch him as he nods to the driver and looks in the back to see rhy already asleep.
Shit how long were mike and I up there?
"So mia one word for you 'communication' okay now say it with me 'com-uni-cation"
I punch his arm as he feigns being hurt with a laugh
"Look I don't know what's happened not sure if he's still angry at me or who for I can't even remember why anymore" I say shaking my head. I'm so tired
I hear a beep as we turn to see mike in his black Range Rover
"Need a lift" he laughs out, I laugh along with him at his childishness but dam I really like mike he's just so easy going.
"Love you mia" James brings in for hug "love you bro" he than opens his car door as I make my way to shit head mike, He has some explaining to do.
"Looks like you have shot gun" mike says leaning out his window waving to James as they drive off
I smile and walk around the car and jump in throwing my little bag onto the floor and saying hi to the guys in the back.
"You have the whole car ride to explain to me what all that was about" I softly say after I turn the music down, least mike plays music.
"You know Mia i'ma man, if you are wanting to keep having these deep and meaningful conversations what do i get" he says playfully as I hear the guys at the back laugh.
"Your not getting a quickie from me that's for sure" I snap out
"Ha! You don't even give Ethan a quickie I wouldn't expect one from you either" he jokes laughing now
Does Ethan really have to tell him everything
"And besides bro's before hoe's" he states giving me a cheeky smile
I roll my eyes
"Yea righto" is my awesome reply as I turn and death stare the guys laughing at the back making them instantly stop, Yea that's what I thought.
"It was a good night you saw your brother I got lucky and there was no blood shed.. not on my side anyway, I would say that sums up a great night" mike says as the guys in the back agree along with him
"What you guys got your dicks wet too" I ask bluntly as one of them spits out their drink and they look at me shocked
The car is dead quiet before they all burst out into a fit of laughter
"Jesus woman" mike says shaking his head
"Well if that's the case than I got soaked" one of the guys at the back laughs out.
I rub my face trying to hide my smile as they all laugh again. It's refreshing to hang out with just boys again.
A few more words are exchanged before it has me rethinking my previous thought.
I look to mike as he glances over to me raising an eyebrow
I decide to ignore him and turn the music back up ending the conversation.
—————-
Time passes as I've just been watching the headlights bounce off the trees having no idea where we are, the guys have been chatting but I'm tuned them out some time ago when the topic turned back to which girls weren't wearing underwear under their formal dresses how they knew I'm not entirely sure.
I see mikes phone screen light up in the middle console of the car receiving a message from ES.
"Who's ES?" I ask not meaning to be nosy
I watch him open his phone sliding the screen and open the message glancing back to the road before reading it.
He huffs our with a chuckle as he faces the phone to me
ES - hurry up dipshit.
"This is how your mate talks to me" he says grinning
I laugh, 'es' is obviously his initials
"Where are you guys going?" I ask
"Nah he's just near the border on my side, I'll be dropping you off" he says tapping the screen with his free hand before placing it back down
I nod my head
We eventually pull to the side of the dirt road and I watch the headlights bounce back off a black suv I recognise.
I grab my purse as mike gets out of the car
"Thanks for the entertainment guys" I say waving to the boys As we give our goodbyes
Closing the door I approach mike and Ethan
"Yea you could say that" mikes laughs as Ethan face comes into view
"Hey" I say softly as he watches me
"See you later Luna" mike says stepping back to the car
"Later dipshit" he laughs out making Ethan laugh too
I watch his face as he shakes his head at mike looking super relaxed and happy
"Sorry about that" Ethan says putting his hands in his pockets and smile fading
"About?" I ask
"Just leaving you there" his reply is short and unexplained
"Yea wasn't the nicest thing to do" I reply bitterly
"Your weren't meant to be there"
"Yea I get that, can we just go" I say heading for the car. He was happy before, mike should have just stayed... why is everyone else so much easier to get along with
The car ride was quiet again neither of us saying a word
We make it home and I'm quick out of the car and to the front door to find it locked. Gah! I stand there staring at the door waiting for him. hoping it would just open on its own.
It doesn't.
He unlocks the door with the key and waits for me to enter first I only make it half way into the kitchen before he slams the door hard behind me, I'm startled as I turn to face him.
"Enough" he says softly leaning back On the door watching me intensely
I frown confused
"Don't give me the silent treatment" he speaks even more softly but his muscles are tensed
"I'm not" I lie admiring his body before I shake the thoughts
"You are" he sounds very agitated
"I'm talking to you now am I not" I reply as I assess him, making him narrows his eyes at me
"Your upset" he states
"No shit" I reply as I watch him still leaning back on the door but is starting to get that predatory look back in his eyes, it's actually beginning to scare me
"If anyone should be upset it's me" he says pushing off the door and standing taller
I just stare at him not knowing what to say as I believe he is right but I'm also confused at the sudden quiet anger from him
"You talked with Wes" he asks taking slow step towards me
"Who's wes?" I ask
He raises an eyebrow "alpha ashwood"
"Yea" I frown
"Talked" he repeats as he tilts his head to the side taking another slow step towards me
I feel like I need to run but his gaze has me frozen in my spot
I nod my head not daring to speak, he stops just before me as I glance down his body, suddenly wanting to touch him, kiss him, just feel him again. Any hurt or anger evaporating within seconds.
He leans down closer as his mouth brushes my mark but he doesn't touch it
"Than why the fuck is his scent all over you" his voice is dangerously low
I close my eyes for fuck sake
"It's not all over me I was playing a drinking game with James he helped steady me that's all" I speak softly as he takes a step back with his eyes running the length of my body. If he was there an didn't keep disappearing on me that it would never of happened.
Shit I don't know if he's angry furious calm or ok this is a first.
"You know what" I say as I throw my bag to the ground and reach behind and undo the zipper to my dress I pull it down off me and kick it to the side not even caring that I'm only in my lingerie.. actually maybe I should have thought this through as he takes another predatory slow step towards me with a new intensity in his eyes
"Better" I ask trying to keep my confidence up as he still hasn't said anything
He slowly shakes his head saying no as his eyes slowly take each part of my bare skin in.
Next second I'm in his arms and his mouth is crashing on mine he forces my mouth open and I feel his warm tongue igniting a flame that I need him now, I wrap my arms around his shoulders and deepen the kiss but his dominance takes back over
His hand comes up to my hair roughly before I'm pick up off my feet and slammed into the wall but the urge I have for him covers the slight pain in my back
He presses himself against me and I feel the bulge in his pants making me unwrap my legs from him and with a a great deal of effort I push him back causing him to stumble with a deep growl and flash of anger through his eyes.
His lips are a little swollen already as we stare at each other catching our breath, without looking away I step up to him and undo his belt than his zip and sliding his pants down that he slowly kicks to the side
His breathing is steady, he has his eyes locked on mine as I undo each button to his shirt and sliding it off his shoulders
The moment it's done I'm slammed back against the wall and his mouth on mine he slides my panties down before unhooking my bra with one hand
He growls aggressively as he lifts me up wrapping my legs around him he begins kissing me down my neck
And shit it feels so good
I'm hot and wet and ready as he positions himself at my entrance and meets my eyes
I smile seductively at the same time he slams into me causing me to moan instantly filling me stretching me to my limit as he slides out and slams straight back into me again
I scratch at his back trying to hang on as each thrust is building me further, his hand travels up my chest before grabbing my hair ruffly to the side causing a slight pain in my neck but I'm distracted from the fast and hard thrust that's going on loving the pleasure as I moan
"Say my name" his voice is dangerously low
I look back to him as he continues to thrust in and out the feeling is good yet so overwhelming
His eyes arnt black but there very dark I can only imagine mine look the same right now, he breaks the gaze and pulls my hair roughly to the side again craning my neck again "say my name" he says again more aggressively this time
"Ethan" I moan out as his thrust get harder he starts kissing my neck causing shivers as I feel myself about to climax
"Again" he says softly this time licking the mark on my neck
"I'm coming" I try to speak as the build up is to much to hang on
I moan out his name again at the same time I come, i feel his teeth pierce into my neck same place he marked me going In deep. the feeling of my climax mixed in with the pain from my neck makes me convulse as I tighten my legs around him feeling his release inside me.
He holds me still for a few seconds, his hand tight on my ass holding me up against the wall
"Fuck you feel good" His warm breath against my cheek
I'm still wrapped around him as he holds me against the wall. I feel his tongue as he softly licks my neck and tightens his grip on my ass as he pulls out.
He looks up to me and smiles maybe cause I'm already smiling at him
My Heart flutters for the first time as I see love within them, fuck I love this man.
He leans down and gently kisses me on the lips as I taste the slight metallic taste of my blood surprisingly turning me on again... what the
This is nothing like I have ever felt before **
