LUNA'S RETURN

CHAPTER TWO: CONFESSIONS

RIVERA’S POV

I stepped into my room and locked the door. Casper had walked me back to my room at full moon, before retiring to his room. Both of us had been unusually quiet because of the incident that had happened earlier.

I sat carefully on the large bed in the room, not wanting to make any crease on the sheets as crazy as it sounded in my head, staring at my father’s portrait for some minutes. Polishing the portrait with my index finger, I kissed it and placed it carefully on the table. I let out a lonely sigh I didn’t know I had been holding and slipped into the shower.

The warm water seeped through my hair as I lowered myself further into the bath tub, not wanting to ever come out. I bawled my eyes for at least ten minutes, blaming my misfortune for everything that had happened.

I didn’t have a misfortune but I needed a reason to blame myself because one thing was certain, I would never remain the same. I knew things with Casper would not remain the same. I couldn’t trust myself to not have s*x with him in my vulnerable state and dishonor my father’s memories so I would give him a reasonable distance until I was back to normal.

Images of my sixteenth birthday the day before began to flash. My father had sung his special birthday song for him, giving a terribly long speech on how he was proud of me. I had jokingly told him to cut to the chase and we shared a laugh. He gave me the biggest hug and left for pack duties. Tears formed in my eyes at the images in my head.

Celeste my new friend and Gamma’s daughter, had stopped by our room very early after my father’s exit and gifted me a beautiful set of clothes which I chose to wear throughout the day. Stepping out in my new set of clothes, Eric and Lucian had gifted me an extremely beautiful ruby necklace which I proudly wore as well.

I went about my pack duties, looking out for Casper and till sunset, I didn’t see any sign of him. I returned to my room to wait up for my father, a bit disappointed that Casper had not remembered my birthday, especially since his birthdays always meant a lot to me.

A knock on the door had shaken me from my thoughts. Opening it, Casper stood at the door and before I could say anything, he was pulling me towards his room. As confused as I was, I had followed him.

On getting to his room, Casper locked the door, grabbed my waist, pulled me closer to him and gave me the most amazing kiss. The kiss had lasted for at least a minute and when he stopped, I was short of breath, staring into his icy blue eyes like a lost puppy.

“Happy birthday princess” he said with a smirk.

With a wide smile on my face, I had returned the kiss, placing my hands on his shoulders. We kissed like new lovers with Casper tugging at the sleeves of my dress. He pulled them down and began planting kisses on my shoulder going up hungrily to my neck and then my earlobe which he nibbled on for a while.

He pulled my tight skirt up, revealing my panties which he dragged down and threw across the room. Teasing him, I unhooked my bra and threw it across the room as well, revealing my full breasts. Casper was driven crazy with desire at the sight and lifted me up, placing me on the table and moving aside everything else that was on it.

He sucked on my n*****s and finger f****d me at the same time and I was crazy wet. He then took me to bed, pulled out a condom and we f****d severally till midnight.

I had woken up, feeling like a newborn. The amazing s*x we had, had been very refreshing . I turned to face Casper on the bed but he was not there. I took one of his robes and wrapped myself with it, picking up any of my clothes I walked past.

I stood at the door of his bathroom and he was just coming out of the shower, a towel on his waist. I admired his defined jawline and refined abdomen lines. He gave me his popular smirk and I could feel my body melting.

“Good morning my love” he said, staring at me seductively.

“My love?” I was shocked to hear those words.

I was used to him calling me Rivs and Princess but my love I had never heard.

“Yes princess” he responded, moving closer to me.

He stopped in front of me and loosened the ropes on the robe I was wearing.

“Casper…”I managed to mutter.

I was obviously under his spell.

“Rivera, I’ve always loved you. I’ve loved you ever since my mother introduced you to me. Your beauty, your kindness and charisma, the way you carry yourself drives me crazy. I’m crazy in love with you. I know you love me too. I admit we have both been ashamed to admit it but we love each other. I want you to be my girlfriend Rivera”.

If I had been dreaming, I hoped not to ever wake up from this dream. It was not a dream, Casper had confessed his full-blown love to me!

I had confessed my love to Casper and had made out fully naked. I showered and had Casper escort me to my room at one a.m. in the morning. Dropping me off, he had given me a beautiful Luna bracelet, hinting that he hoped I would be his Luna when he became Alpha. Kissing me lightly on the lips, he walked back to his room, leaving me in a daydream of all that had happened.

I looked at the cake on the table which I had baked earlier and wondered why my father had not returned so we could celebrate my birthday like we usually did: stuffing our mouths with cake and watching an old movie. I had waited up till three a.m., falling asleep beside the cake.

I stepped out of the shower and wrapped a towel above my chest. I was lost in thoughts again. Reminding myself not to dwell in the past, I slipped into my night wear and snuggled with my pillow, counting the beads on the special bracelet Casper had given me yesterday and forcing myself to sleep.

I rolled around the large sized bed which I was sure approximately four other people could sleep comfortably in, unable to sleep. I heard a knock and jerked up immediately, walking quietly to the door.

“Who is it?” I demanded to know.

“Your Luna” the voice responded.

I quickly opened the door and hugged her before she could say a word. She patted my back and I didn’t release myself, almost forgetting that I had not invited her into my room.

“Mother, forgive my manners. I didn’t let you in yet” I said, referring to her like I had done since I was a child, the way she preferred me to address her.

She shrugged it off with her hand and responded that she didn’t mind. She walked in and sat on the only chair on the room while I sat at the foot of the bed, facing her.

“Rivera princess, I know the information you received earlier was really heartbreaking. It was heartbreaking for the Alpha and I , for all of us. I want you to be strong for yourself, for your father. You have always been a strong lady, my own brave warrior. I will always be here for you. I, Alpha, Casper, Eric, Lucian, the entire pack, are your family.” She said, making me feel better like she always managed to do.

It was her super power.

I stood up to hug her again, wiping the tears that had formed and she encouraged me to stop by her room whenever I wanted her company before leaving the room. I thanked her for her kind words and bade her goodbye before shutting my door.

For some reason, I felt like the level of affection everyone showed me would fade because I no longer had anyone to protect me. I waved the silly thoughts away from my head and sang myself to sleep. I was safe and loved.
