The Alpha King's Foreign Luna

Chapter 3

MITSUKI POV

A fresh meadow-minty scent swirled around him. He possessed a latent, leonine power and walked with purpose and authority. His strong broad shoulders spoke of strength. His physique built. His piercing black eyes twinkled. The pools shone brightly as if they were dipped in diamonds. His crescent of moon-shaped eyebrows were thick while his eyelashes danced in the sweeping air. A lush midnight black hair covered his head. Handsome is an understatement, he is a walking mortal god. The lineaments of his face were in perfect proportion to each other. From his imperious nose, high cheekbones and chiseled jaw. He must be about the same age as her older brother, Akio.

Where did she even get these words to describe him? She has zero experience with males. Her father and brothers are equally handsome, but there is something about his western features that attracts her.

This will be the first time ever that she will be alone with a man aside from her family. She is nervous and excited at the same time.

If he could read her thoughts right now, he would think of her inappropriate! Oh! She is so embarrassed of herself.

She mentally panicked when she saw him walking slowly towards her. Step by step, closing the wide gap between them. She could smell his intoxicating mint and earthy scent.

Then, she heard him say "Hi!"

Startled, she took a step back.

He had a deep voice. Soothing to the ear.

"Mate... Mate..." Shiro whispered. Echoing in her head. Distracting her from her mental observation of him. She was elated yet nervous and purring at the back of her mind. She cannot be doing this, she is corrupting her innocent head!

"Wait? What?! It can't be. He's older than us. He is a grown man..." She told her.

She frowned while pouting her lips.

She saw his lips form a smile while watching her marvel at him.

"He is our mate... He's wolf is even trying to reach me!" She yelps in excitement.

"No! Block him... I'm scared. He is older than us. What if he hurt us? My mother warned me about men like him!" She begged her.

"But, it doesn't feel that he is here to hurt us. Look at those enticing eyes. He loves us already!" She said, convincing her.

"No! Don't you dare, Shiro. Don't let him know... What if he has other motives? Rejects us even? I can't live with that! I am only thirteen. Oh! Oh! He is going to break me!" She whimpered at her.

"What? I can clearly see no sign of rejection in his eyes. Stop thinking of such things!" she said, raising her voice and scolding her.

"Please... Please... Please... No! I'm scared. I'm really scared... We have to go..." She pleaded to her.

"But Zuki... what if we never see him again? She whimpers. She can sense pain in her voice. It also pains her a little, but she can't help not to feel scared, especially when his 6'4 tall statue is towering over her 4'11 small height.

"B-but I'm not ready yet. I'm still too young. Do something. Don't let him find out!"

"But Zuki, he is our mate. He has every right to know about us!"

"We will see him again... I promise you. If he is our mate, I'm sure the Moon Goddess will let it happen. We will know who he is." She pleaded hard enough to stop her from letting their mate know.

"I cannot promise... But, I will try to set up a barrier between us. But, He is strong! His wolf might still feel the bond!" She does not agree with her, hoping their mate will know.

"If you are not sure that the barrier won't work, then, we have to leave!" She replied to her.

"No! Please stay... I beg you let us be with him for a little while... We won't even know when we will be able to see him again. You're always cooped up in your palace. We will never have the same chance as this! Please stay for a little bit more..." She begs.

"He is Royalty. He must be one of the foreign delegates attending the banquet. I'm sure my brothers can tell me who he is. I can sense his aura, it's very strong." She informed her.

Unable to break eye contact, she just stood there waiting for him. Cautiously looking at him as he slowly closed the wide gap between them.

His eyes pulling her to him, she just stood there studying his face. His body gave off a warm but strong aura, her tiny body unconsciously leaning forward, subtly smelling him.

Lost in her own thoughts. She was caught by surprise when he reached out for her hair and started playfully twisting it with his fingers. How rude of him. This is the very first time someone deliberately touched her without her permission. Even Lana, her lady in waiting, asks for her permission when she is holding her. She looked at him steadily with a slight frown on her lips. How come she can't say anything to stop him? Why can't she be mad at his behavior towards her, especially when he's just smiling in front of her, not caring how uncomfortable he is making her feel?

"You're beautiful," He whispered.

His voice is deep and melodious. It sounded so beautiful in her ears.

It made her want to stay with him. Be with him.

She clutched her palms tighter in panic and realized she had crushed the poor butterfly. She peeked to see if it was still alive and muttered a sigh of relief when it moved.

Then suddenly, she was shocked, when she felt his huge warm fingers brush past her cheeks. Her body responded to his sudden touch, accidentally releasing a surge of her spiritual power towards him. Sending tiny bolts of electricity into his hands. She could sense his body absorbing it.

She released the butterfly in her palms and it fluttered in the air.

She saw him flinch and shock registered on his face.

"Oh! Zuki We have imprinted on him..." Shiro said in disbelief, still very happy to share the news with her.

"Imprint? How is it possible? What does that mean? Did he find out I'm his mate?" She held her breath nervously.

"It means he is now tied to us with the mate bond. He belongs to us. No other wolf can claim him!" she says exasperatingly.

Her young mind is in a jumble, this is too much information to take in, in such a short amount of time.

She waited but he did not say anything. She felt relieved... She saw him as he lifted his hand in the air one more time towards her.

"Oh no! He is going to touch me again! What should I do? What's going to happen now?" She whimpered.

"Let him touch you... let him feel the mate bond." Shiro, her wolf, urges.

She's scared. But, she cannot deny the attraction. She has no more full control of her feelings anymore, there is a need for her to give in.

The way his warm hands felt on her cheeks made her skin shudder, sending unexplainable sensations her young mind cannot comprehend. She wanted to feel those warm hands once more.

She looked at him straight in the eye when he tried to reach out for her the second time. She did not resist. As if time stopped. She just stood there waiting for him. To feel his touch. . .

KILLIAN POV

His hands recoiled from the touch and felt bolts of electricity run into his fingers and hands as he pulled it back away... He felt his body absorb the surge of energy she released. He shuddered as he felt small shockwaves flow through every fiber of his being. He felt it as Cassis accumulated energy and a growl escaped from him.

He stared at his hands in awe and switched back to looking at her again. She is in shock! So is he!

The wind blew past them. Surprisingly, she opened her hands and the once was dead butterfly she was holding fluttered in the air passing both their sights!

"What the?!" He blurted in surprise.

Shock registered in both their faces. Baffled as to what had happened a while ago.

"Woah! That's some pure energy! I can still feel it in me! She did something to us!" Cassis claimed in surprise.

This is out of the ordinary. This feels remarkable, she isn't even his mate. How is this possible? It feels like the surge of energy is still within him. I can still feel it cruising through him. It gives his body a strong warm sensation. It's like she and he have become something!

"Do you think she is our mate?" He asked his wolf.

"We are not sure yet... I don't believe her wolf has awakened yet. I can feel something in there, but I cannot reach anything! Like something is blocking me, I cannot go any further." Cassis said.

This is pure madness! He's twenty-four years old, for Pete's sake! He's not some grade schooler who's amazed at everything little thing happening around him. Yet here he is excited and mesmerized by a mere pup!

He tried to reach out for her one more time. Just to prove that what happened wasn't a mere coincidence. She is shocked and lost at her own thoughts. She didn't move when he lifted his hands again and tried reaching for her cheeks once more.

Maybe she also wanted to prove something. To see what would happen if their skins came in contact once more.

Just as he was about to grab hold of her cheeks. Something grabbed their attention and distracted both of them . They turned toward the sound of the shouted summons.

A nervous voice from a girl calling out into the garden can be heard. Shouting out in Japanese. A loud shrieking sound followed. A flushed-faced red-headed girl appeared out of nowhere, she came running towards them from across the other side of the garden and nervously called out her attention. He could smell a different kind of wolf in her.

"She's definitely not Asian..." He thought to himself.

She must be much older than the girl in front of him. What? Maybe fifteen or sixteen? But, much younger than him. She is starting to show a blossoming figure of a young woman. Possibly in her early teens.

"Oneesama! Oneesama! Oh! Oh!" She whimpered out in frustration.

She was speaking to her in Japanese, panic written all over her face. She touched her shoulders and skimmed around her body looking for any possible injury and dusting away imaginary dirt on her dress. She straightened the girl's kimono sash and kept on chattering on about a lot of things as he tried to translate the words in his mind , acknowledging a few bits of the language he understood. She was saying something about not going out, the girl's mother said. The twins are looking for her, some kind of punishment and so on...

She just silently stood there listening to the red head as she finished her lecture on her and looked somewhat embarrassed at the situation she was in. She looked at him and averted her eyes, shying away as he stared at both at them in amusement.

"Ahem!" He coughed out to get both their attention.

The red-headed girl jumped at her place and shock registered on her face. Her mouth was wide open and instinctively covered it with both her hands. Her face reddened as he stared and smirked at her.

She is pretty but not as beautiful as his porcelain doll. She had freckles on her nose and cheeks and her round green eyes showed panic and worry. She is definitely Dexter, his brother's type.

She strained for composure as she tried to hide her embarrassment and she then took a calculated step forward facing him...

LANA POV

She was shocked as she looked at the very handsome man coughing. She was quite embarrassed and quickly composed herself in front of him. She hadn't seen American wolves for almost ten years. She felt the tension rising from her body, her head felt like it was starting to expand with air, goosebumps gradually rising from her skin. The only foreign one she ever gets to see and talk to is the queen because she is from an American pack like her.

He is an alpha. Given the aura of authority he exudes.

"Oh! Oh! Where are my manners? Do excuse me sir." She quipped and talked to him in English, which was no longer a surprise to him as her Caucasian features gave her away...

"You must be one of the guests at the party. Are you lost sir?" She tried her hardest to make her voice sound melodious.

"Well, people do get lost on their first time here, Lana. The place is filled with hallways, making it a maze. Damn, who ever constructed this palace is out of their minds!" She mumbled, trying to relieve her own tension.

She looked at him and was relieved that he was showing no sign of indifference towards her.
