The Last Lycan Luna

CHAPTER 6 - FLASH CARDS - KAYSON'S POV

I hated hearing her cry. I wish I could help her. I started wondering if I marked her. Could we communicate via the link, and if so, would she finally be able to understand me?

I looked into her eyes on the floor and then her lips. I wanted to kiss her. I longed to kiss her tempting lips. Would she slap me if I tried? Oh, scr*w it. It was worth the risk.

I gently ran my fingers through her soft hair, enjoying the feeling of the strands, over my rough hands and leaned it. If she wanted to stop me, she'd have time.

Her eyes widened a little as I moved closer, and I heard her heart racing as mine was. When we were inches apart, I finally closed the gap and pressed my lips to hers. The feeling of her soft lips was amazing, and my breathing quickened as I placed my hands on either side of her face, and moved closer.

She seemed to freeze, and I quickly pulled back, and we looked into each other's eyes again for a second, before she shocked me by winding her arms around my neck and kissing me back.

I wove my fingers into her hair, holding her in place as my heart pounded heavily in my chest. I felt her quiver at my touch and it encouraged me to continue. I delved my tongue into her mouth and pressed my tongue against hers as I moved my mouth in time with her more timid movements. She parted her soft lips willingly, and this was enough to encourage me to suck down on her bottom lip, nibbling slightly before kissing her again.

I'd kissed a few women over the years, but it had never felt like this. The buzzing of the bond somehow made everything so much more intense and passionate, and I started to feel my c*ck hardening beneath my pants.

Her scent became much more potent, and her arousal filled the air, which caused both myself and Blaze to go wild. I growled against her lips and pulled her closer, and I could feel her breast push against my chest through the hospital gown.

As my hands traveled down her throat on the way to her body, I heard the bedroom door slam into the wall, and we broke apart. Sh*t. What was that?

And then I smelt my brother's scent in the air.

I turned to see him standing in the doorway looking furious with dark eyes.

"Didn't take you long didn't it!?" He said through clenched teeth as he threw a bag on the ground. "Ran into Zoe. Here are the clothes for your mate"

Without another word, he turned and marched angrily down the hallway, before opening and slamming his door closed.

I reached over and grabbed the bag before turning to my mate, who was flushed and sitting back on her legs catching her breath. I opened the bag and pulled out the dress on the top and placed it in her hands.

"For you," I pointed from the dress to her body. "Do you understand?"

She looked up at me and then the dress and also pointed from it to herself.

"Yes, it's for you." I smiled and toucher her face. "Dress, and stay here."

I got up rushed out of the room, and went straight to Jayce's room to find him angrily shoving clothing into a bag.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm leaving."

"Leaving? Leaving where, for how long?"

"I DON'T KNOW!" He shouted and ripped open a drawer. "Until seeing you kiss her doesn't make me want to put my fist through the wall!"

"I told you I wasn't rejecting her." I pointed out, "And I told you, you wouldn't be able to handle seeing us together. You should accept her, and we-"

"WE CAN WHAT?!" He shouted and shoved more clothing into his bag. "PLAY HAPPY FAMILIES? IN CASE YOU'VE FORGOTTEN, I AM ENGAGED!"

"Oh, shut up!" I snapped. "You don't even love her. It's a political marriage, but you have a proper chance to be happy now. She's our mate, our Luna, and for Goddess's sake, what a Luna she'll be. She's a Lycan. If the stories are real, then she's even more powerful than we are combined."

"She doesn't even know what her name is!" He shouted. "And if she did, she can't tell us. She can't speak and don't give me this cr*p about being a Lycan. They're extinct. TJ's tests are wrong, she's a witch, and I'll be dammed if I ever accepted a witch, especially some mute b*tch!"

"You are such a coward!" I said angrily, and he turned to me.

"What did you call me!?"

"YOU HEARD ME!" I shouted and shoved him. "YOU'RE A COWARD! Even if she is a witch, I'm accepting her, and in case you've forgotten, I was the one who watched our family die. I was the one who was mutilated by them." I went on as I pulled down my shirt to show him my burns, and he looked away. "I went through that, not you, because you were off f*cking around, and I will never walk away from her. But you, you're a coward, you're so afraid to let anyone in, to love anyone, you're going to break our mate's heart by marrying someone else!"

"YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THE F*CK YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT!" He shouted back angrily, but I just walked and grabbed his bag before throwing it at the wall.

"YOU'RE A COWARD!" I shouted again, before leaving the room.

I went straight back to my mate's room and walked in without thinking to see her pulling the dress down.

"Sh*t, sorry!"

I looked down for a moment, while I heard my brother walk out without his bag, I guess he wasn't leaving after all. After a little time, I peeked up and saw my mate was dressed and standing awkwardly near the bed and avoiding my eyes, so I thought I'd make the first move and went to her bed and sat down.

"Will you sit?" I reached out my hand, and she timidly climbed on in front of me and tucked her legs under her.

I couldn't help looking at her swollen lips but when she noticed, she blushed and looked down, causing her hair to fall over her beautiful face, so I reached over and brushed it back and she looked up at me agai.

"Much better," I smiled. "Let's try this again." I touched my chest. "Kayson."

She frowned, but I repeated my actions before gently touching her chest.

"You?"

She shook her head at me. Great, we're getting somewhere. She knows what I'm attempting, but she didn't know her name. I looked around for a pen and paper and pulled open one of the drawers to see a pad and pen with ink and I pulled it onto the bed careful not to drop any on the silk sheets.

I drew a picture of a tree and showed her. "Tree," I told her, "Tree." I tapped the image and then touched my chest again. "Kayson."

She tilted her head and touched my chest. "Kayson." She spoke for the first time, and I felt my entire body light up. Her voice was so lovely and soft, even if it was unsure and apprehensive.

I turned the pad around and drew a picture of a flower, and showed her. "Flower."

Again, she tilted her head, "Flower."

I smiled, "Yes, that's right."

She touched the picture and said, "Lartos."

It was my turn to be confused. "Is that what your people called them?" I asked, "Lartos?"

She smiled and nodded as she touched the image again. "Lartos."

"Okay, and the tree?" I pointed to the first picture.

"Restar,"

"Restar," I repeated, and she smiled.

I quickly wrote her names for things on the picture and moved on. We spent all evening drawing pictures and teaching each other words. It was actually fun learning her language.

I drew a terrible image of myself and Jayce and pointed to them, "Kayson". And then my brother, "Jayce."

She frowned and touched Jayces image for a second before pulling her hand back.

"He'll come around. I know he will." I told her, though I knew she didn't understand.

I ordered my personal chef, Magi, to create a buffet for dinner. I wanted to show her a variety of things and see what she liked, and even though she was apprehensive about things, she still tried, and settled on a prawn dish. I guess she liked seafood.

After dinner, I showed her to her ensuite bathroom and drew her a bath, pointing out what everything was and how to use it, and I think she understood. I didn't want to leave her, but I didn't think she'd react well if I got naked and slipped into the bath with her, besides. I'd never shown anyone my body. I was a little worried she'd reject me after seeing all my burns, and then what would I do? I was already so captivated by her and didn't want to lose her.

While she bathed, I went and had a quick shower of my own, before returning. She was already out, and looking out the window at the night sky, with her hair was dripping wet, but she was dressed in one of the night gowns Zoe had lent her.

"Come here." I pulled out a chair and gestured for her to sit.

She looked confused but sat down, and I picked up the towel she'd left over a chair and dried her hair. She looked up at me in the mirror of the dressing table. Her eyes really were beguiling.

Once I was satisfied her hair was dry enough, I tossed the towel into the corner and took her hand to lead to her to the bed, and I pulled the covers down.

"Lay down," I said softly, and she frowned in confusion but climbed onto the bed while I tried not to check out her ass. I knew I shook have w*nked in the shower.

She sat up, but I smiled and slipped my arms around her body, enjoying the smell of her scent so close, and pulled her onto her back, before covering her with the blanket.

"Sleep well." I told her before kissing her cheek and turning off the light on her bedside table. She looked very confused but didn't do or say anything, so I walked over to her door. "Goodnight."

I turned off her light and shut the door behind me before returning to my room. I couldn't wait for us to get closer and start sharing a room, but for now, I had a mission and sat down at my writing desk.

I was so proud of myself. I was never much of an artist, but for my mate, I'd at least attempted to make them nice. I held up the last flash card and smiled at it before placing it on top of the small pile.

I changed and went to shower and go to bed. I was tempted to check in on her, but I forced myself to leave her alone. She was probably already too overwhelmed. I didn't need to add to it.
