Suddenly, Luna

Chapter 3 - Mine

Grace POV

Although I was nervous upon entering the bar, I was finally starting to relax. I was drinking beer and talking to Shona in the corner of the bar when two guys approached us. They weren’t the first one to talk to us but they were the hottest guys in here so we gave them some attention. At the beginning, I thought Shona knew them, but after a glare she gave them, they just smiled and introduced themselves. Archer and John, they’ve said. For such huge and hot guys, they were quite down to earth. They’ve said they were both trainers, tomorrow was their day off so they’ve decided to have a couple of drinks. They were a few years older than us, out of college already, but we’ve had a lot of mutual subjects to talk about. Few beers later (although I was officially  21 next week, Shona and guys knew the bartender so he wasn’t doing a big deal about me drinking), Archer and Shona went dancing. John was getting more flirtatious with every passing minute but he wasn’t too pushy. I was starting to hope that he might kiss me; another thing I've never done before.

I’ve spent my life living like a monk, and after two years of constant nagging of Chiara, another girl who was quite close to us,  made me think I should find a cute guy and try to date. I don’t want to sound too full of myself, but guys were hitting on me all the time. I just wanted to feel some sort of spark, and to be honest non one of them made me feel anything. Chiara was always telling me we aren’t living in a fairytale, that love at first sight wasn’t something that happened and that I should give someone a chance. So, I was, alcohol encouraged, starting to hope, John just might be the one. Not The One, live happily ever after, but someone I could at least make out with. 

At one point, I was having an internal debate - Why won’t he kiss me? Should I kiss him? Maybe he doesn’t find me attractive? - when all of the sudden he touched my face and moved hair away from my eyes. “Oh my God, he’s gonna do it!” I thought and closed my eyes expecting my first kiss. 

“John, move your f*****g hands off my mate unless you wanna lose them!” someone roared. I’ve opened my eyes just to see John being pulled away from me and pushed against the wall by a guy who was even larger than him and Archer. 

I was stunned, speechless. Everything stopped around us and I’ve heard Shona and Archer saying “f**k!” at the same time while John muttered: “Sorry Alpha, I didn’t know. Won’t happen again:”

“I honestly hope so!” the guy said and turned to face me. 

If I was speechless before this moment, now I wasn’t just out of the words. Every coherent thought abandoned my mind. I was staring at the most beautiful man I’ve ever seen. 

He had a sculpted face, covered in stubble, dirty blond hair, a prominent nose and lips that made you wanna bite them, lick them, kiss them, I don’t know,  do all of it at once. But his eyes, f**k. Pale green, with tiny golden spreckels were framed with lashes so thick that every woman would kill to have them. All of a sudden, I’ve realized that I know these eyes. I’ve been dreaming about them for as long as I can remember. 

We’ve been staring at each other for what felt eternity, when he said in a rugged voice: “Mine!”

The emotions rolling in me could not be described with words. I felt a panic rising within me. I felt captivated. I felt like my being was finally waking up. For the first time in my life, I felt lust. Confusion. Fear.  You name it, I felt it. 

All of the sudden the panic overcame me. I’ve realized I need space. I needed to step outside to catch some air. At the second I touched his chest to push him away, all hell broke loose. 

Logan POV

“Are you trying to get us killed?” I’ve asked Kor after he told me for the fiftieth time to hurry up. 

“Like a car accident could kill us.” he mumbled and continued to pace around. As a werewolf, I wasn’t easily killed, but that doesn’t mean I couldn’t get injured. And getting recovered from serious injury was so painful that sometimes you wished you were dead. I did like speed but I always drove carefully. As an Alpha I should be an example for pack members and avoid reckless behavior and, like I’ve said recovering from serious injuries was something I honestly wanted to avoid as much as possible. 

I was so tired but Kor’s behavior was making me nervous. He knew something important was about to happen, I just couldn't understand why he wouldn’t tell me. I understood that if I was in any kind of danger, he would tell me, but I was still worried. 

By the end of the drive, I was happy I was going to the bar because I needed a drink. 

I barely stepped out of the car, when Jo was all over me.

“Hi, baby! Looking for me?” she said in that annoying voice of hers. 

“No, I was actually hoping you won’t be here. I’m really not in the mood for your crap!” I’ve said honestly. 

“But baby”, she continued in what she found to be a sexy voice “you know I can make you feel better. No one can make you feel as good as I can!” She reached for my c**k and I pushed her away. 

“Aren’t you tired of being rejected all the time. I don’t know how many times I have to repeat, but I don’t want you. You were someone to f**k from time to time, but you’ve become a parasite. Leave me alone!” 

I pushed through the crowd smoking outside of the bar and finally reached the door. At the same second I’ve opened them, the most beautiful scent I’ve ever felt overwhelmed me. Summer rain, cinnamon and ripe peaches. 

“Mate!” Kor suddenly roared. Our mate. 

“f**k, she’s here!” I’ve said and started to go through the crowd, following her scent. 

All of the sudden, I’ve realized she’s with John, one of the pack’s best fighters. He is Gamma’s Archer second hand and helps him to train pack members. s**t, he was about to kiss her. I’ve never felt such amount of jealousy and I’ve barely recognized my voice when I’ve roared: “John, move your f*****g hands off my mate unless you wanna lose them!” 

I grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and pushed him against the wall. I’ve never wanted to hurt a member of a pack before but at the moment I was at the verge of killing him.

Luckily, John muttered: “Sorry Alpha, I didn’t know. Won’t happen again:”

“I honestly hope so!” I’ve said and let him go. 

And then I looked at her. I thought that her smell was something the most beautiful in the world but then I saw her. She was tiny for a shewolf. s**t, she was tiny even for a human. But f**k, what a body she had. Tiny waist, trim legs, but her hips and boobs were luscious. I was getting hard from just looking at her. Her small but plump lips were slightly opened and her breaths were rapid. She was also excited. The smell of her arousal hit me, and I needed to close my eyes for a second and try to calm down or I would take her against this very wall. 

When I opened my eyes, she was staring at me. My gaze was met with the palest, most beautiful blue eyes ever. The eyes I would recognize always as I saw them each time I fell asleep. 

The only thing I could do is to say quietly: “Mine!”
