The Luna's Ugly Disguise

Chapter 6 - Evelyn

Having a mate had felt truly wonderful. He had made me feel wanted in the way any mate should. But his presence soon faltered as his duties called. He was an Alpha after all. But I felt lonely within the large Alpha home within which we lived. A home that provided me with every amenity possible. Every luxury. Yet the one thing I craved I did not have at my beck and call. My mate. He had duties. And I had to adjust to that. Sadly, it was taking some time to adjust…

Lucael had gifted me with a day of his company after we had returned to the pack, and spoiled me with walks through the beautiful grounds of his pack, and dined with me in the local town at a stunning little restaurant. I had relished in the attention he had showered me with, and enjoyed the conversation we had shared. I had never been treated so well! If this was what being a mate to an Alpha was like, then I could certainly get used to it! But, as I said, a day was all I had been provided with, and no sooner was the day over, he was focused heavily upon his duties once more. Even over our evening meal together on his first day back at work, his head was within some paperwork as he ate, and he barely glanced in my direction. And I could not find the courage to try to distract him.

So, in my spare time, I began to wander out of our beautiful home and out into the pack. Helping around the packhouse where I could. Be it within the kitchens, or in the gardens. I had been no stranger to chores back in my home pack, and I enjoyed the company of the pack members here, and they were all so warm and welcoming. They seemed to be overjoyed at the very thought their beloved Alpha had found his fated mate. I truly felt blessed that that mate had been me. Chores did not seem like chores when surrounded by people who appeared to enjoy my company, and appreciated my assistance.

With my daytime hours filled, they passed a little easier, but the nighttimes were the times I looked forward to the most, as the instant Lucael slipped into bed beside me, I was his only focus. And his hands sought me out in an attempt at a hug, or often more. He had shown me ways to make my legs tremble that I never knew was possible, but even on the nights when he was tired from his duties, and he simply pulled me close, I never went to sleep feeling unwanted. He made me feel craved and wanted. Despite the lonely days, my nights were anything but lonely…

Today I was lucky. Today, Lucael had found a few hours when there had been a break within his duties, and had opted to come home for me. The very mention of this had filled me with anticipation and excitement, and I knew that I was not wasting the additional time with my mate. The instant Lucael had walked through the front door, he had known what I was wanting by the way I was dressed. And the smile upon his face said he was more than happy to comply.

The delicate fabric of the carefully selected lingerie I had selected for him had caught his attention, and drew him to me like a moth to a flame, just as I had hoped. With a playful growl, Lucael had chased me up the stairs, grabbing me, before throwing me down upon our bed. Eyeing me like a monster, eyeing his prey as he stood at the foot of the bed looking down at me, before he came to join me.

He slid into the soft bedding alongside me as his eyes lingered upon my body before pulling the covers over us. Wearing nothing but lacy black lingerie and stockings, the type I quickly learned my mate liked, I snuggled up to the toned frame of my handsome Alpha. “Mmmm, you are lovely and warm.” I chuckled. He was like my personal hot water bottle in bed.

“Oh, you want me to warm you up?” His voice was rough and sexy as he quickly moved himself, so he was above me, on all fours, looking down upon me. His eyes lingered upon the curve of my cleavage, enhanced by the bra that I wore for him. “There was me thinking you wanted me to devour you. Make you scream my name…” He took my hand as he ran it along his toned chest, with a wry smile upon his face as he brought it closer to his groin. I knew what he was wanting. Every part of his toned body was now familiar to me, from his tattoos, to his scars, right down to the smallest of freckles. He was mine, and I knew every part of him…

I could feel his eyes watching me intently, as one of his hands moved gently to the side of my waist, before teasing along the curves there down to my thigh, making me gasp out in shock as he teased at the fabric of my stocking. “I don’t think you answered my question, princess.” Lucael winked playfully at me. “Do you need warming up? Or do you need more?”

I nodded eagerly at him. I knew the different ways he could warm me up, and not one of them would I refuse. But more sounded even better. A smile spread across his handsome face. “That is my girl.” He murmured, as his fingers gently parted my legs, before teasing a delicate path to my already moist core.

I reached for his hair, gripping my fingers within the thick darkness there, to pull his face to my own to allow me to find his lips with mine. He responded with a kiss full of hunger and need, just as I wanted, as his tongue parted my lips to gain access to my mouth. A man taking control, just as I liked him to. While his fingers began to take control of my body too. Moving and teasing their way along the wetness of my folds he was already creating.

"Mmmm." I whispered against his lips, causing him to tease a little faster, and making me buck my hips to bating me more of what I was craving.

"Oh, now, now. Patience. I will give you everything you want." Lucael murmured as his lips found mine once more.

He slid his finger inside, making me moan against his mouth. I craved his touch more than I think he realized. I had no experience before this man. But now I wanted him the instant he touched me. He brought my body to new heights. New pleasures. And there was no going back. With every flick of his fingers he worked me harder, making me near breathless. Until he suddenly paused. His fingers. His kisses.

I opened my eyes with a wave of disappointment washing over me. What was happening? Lucael had paused in his motions, and his eyes had that glazed tone to them that was the telltale sign he was mindlinking. He moved himself from his position on top of me, sitting himself down at the edge of the bed, with his back facing me. Someone had disturbed us, I thought with irritation and further disappointment. Did Lucael not tell them he would be busy? I found myself thinking.

But as that thought ran through my mind, I could not help but notice that from where Lucael sat that his body was tense, and something was not quite right. I wriggled myself across the small space between us, and placed my hand upon his back, causing him to turn and offer me a sad smile. “I need to go.” He muttered. I nodded. I had assumed as much the moment he had moved away from me. Duty calls.

“Is everything okay?” I whispered, not liking the sense of unease I could detect through our matebond. It was not often he allowed me to feel any negative feeling through the matebond, but now it was different. Something felt wrong. Like there was more. I did not like it.

My mate's shoulders sagged. “There has been another rogue attack.” He said, his voice fraught with tension. Another? Just how many had there been? I was unaware of them. But before I was able to question him, Lucael continued with a sadness in his tone. “This time near the school. I need to go to the hospital. I should be there.” My heart fell at his words. A rogue attack was never a good thing. And near the school. That could mean that children were hurt. Children could not heal themselves like we could as werewolves...

“Can I come?” I asked gently, and he looked at me with shock at my request, but he nodded without hesitation.

“You are my Luna. Of course, you can be there. I think the pack would appreciate it, in fact. But, I warn you, Evelyn, these attacks are never pretty…” His words filled me with dread for what we may be about to witness…
