My tortured Luna

Chapter 4

Valens POV

I heard Jayden following her to my penthouse and when he left her in front of my door. I figured she would take her time coming in here but it didn't occur to me that she would be standing outside my door for 5 hours. I could hear all her thoughts, one of the advantages that comes with my title. The beast of Montreal. What a lame name. Who came up with that?

I look down at the papers, I'm having trouble focusing lately. An annoying side effect by the mate bond. I feel the tuck towards her all the time. Her scent makes me crazy but it calms my beast.

I shake my head, it's not a secret that people fear me. In fact, I like it. I am a monster. I am a beast, untamable and ruthless. No one can change that and especially not my little mate. I know the Goddess sent her to me for some sort of contribution but I'm not taking the bait. If she thinks a mate can change the way I think and function, she must me dumber than she looks.

My little mate. I hate the fact that others have touched her. She's mine but I don't want her. It frustrating to feel like this. One moment I want her underneath me, screaming my name while I pleasure her and the next moment, I find it repulsive. I'm disgusted with the way she has been treated and how Jack tortured her. I know he lied to her, he couldn't be her mate. The Moon Goddess is not that wicked to pair my mate with that old fucker.

The scar that runs from her eyebrow to her jaw makes my skin crawl. She beautiful, no one is doubting that. But the scar keeps reminding me of others touching what is mine. I can't see past it.

I look at the door and her thoughts has quiet down. I raise from my chair and open the door. She's sitting on the floor with her back against the wall. Her body lies in an awkward position and my neck hurts just by looking at it. I kneel down beside her and put my arm under her legs and the other behind her back. Sparkles run up and down my skin. I feel Cain stirring in my mind. I sigh and lift her up before I walk to the bed. I place her down as gently as possible and then I take a shower.

I need to stay away from her. Maybe it's a bad idea to share a room? Cain growl at my thoughts.

'Don't think about placing her in another room. Her wolf needs me to be close.' He sneers. Her wolf, right. She's much more willing to tell me her thoughts than Sage is.

I turn on the shower. Hot brisling water pound on my skin. My body is once again reacting to the she-wolf in my bed. My erection is hard and painful. I promised myself, I would be a better man and wait to after the biding ceremony but it is going to be nearly impossible. I sigh and turn off the water. I dry my body and secure the towel around my waist. I walk out and my eyes finds hers instantly.

She looks at me but her eyes travels down my body in a second. She takes in my broad shoulders. My muscular chest and down my abs. Her eyes land on my erection which I failed to hide. Her eyes snap to mine and her thoughts makes me chuckle internally.

'Oh God, don't stare at it like that!' Her cheeks blush a bright red. I walk over to my closet and put on some shorts. I turn around and look at her once again. Her eyes is fixed at her palms and her heart is pounding harder by the second.

"You should get some sleep." My tone comes out harder than I intend but that's who I am. She nods without looking at me. She stays put though and I walk over to her. She keeps her eyes on her palms even when I sit down on the bed.

"Look at me." I command but she keeps her face down. I place my hand under her chin and lift her face up. She looks into my eyes and I study hers. They have a unique colour just like her wolf. I have never seen a girl with grey eyes. I feel drawn to her and move closer to her.

'He starring at me with those cobalt eyes. I wonder if he thinks I'm beautiful.. No don't Sage, he only see your scar like any other person in your life.' Her thoughts invades my mind. I pull my eyes from hers to her scar. I brush the scar where it ends on her jaw. She pulls away and I growl.

"Don't ever pull away from me." I sneer. She flinch but nod.

"I'm sorry." She whispers with a fragile voice.

'Don't do that to her, Valens! You're scaring her again!" Cain snarls at me. I sigh and turn her face to me again.

"How did you get the scar?" I try to sound calm but anger is radiating from me. I take a deep breath and her scent invade my nostrils. She looks at me but she's lost in her thoughts. I don't listen to them, I want her to tell me in her own voice. Minutes past and she finally voice out her thoughts.

"My father - He sold me and my brother to Alpha Jack. The day - the day we left my father took a silver blade and - he gave me this scar." I growl when she finish telling me her story. Alpha Jack was a piece of s**t but her father, I would like to rip out his throat too.

"Why did he sell you?" I ask in a calm tone, almost sweet and she looks surprised by my question.

"He needed money and the sale of us provided him with a lot of it. Our mother died when she gave birth to me and my brother. He always hated us." She takes a deep breath and I can feel her anger. She has a powerful aura and something tells me she's of Alpha blood. It surprises me that they're twins, they look nothing a like.

"You're twins?" I voice out my confusion. She nods and focus her eyes on my lips. I feel the urge to kiss her but I fight it down. The incident in the woods still plays in my mind. I would love to hear her moans.

"Yes, we look nothing a like though." She mumbles. She wet her lips and my eyes follow the movement. Her lips is plump, I can only imagine how they will look around my c**k. I shake my head before things get out of hand and I pull away from her.

"Get some sleep." I turn around and walk over to my desk in the corner of the room. I open my computer and check my mail. I glance at her now and then, she's laying down on the bed but she's not sleeping.

I work for a couple of hours before I go to bed. I walk over to the bed and I can see her body tense. I sigh before I lie down in the bed. I close my eyes and sleep comes in a couple of minutes. The scent of my mate calms both me and my wolf. Maybe she's not so bad for us?
