The Prophecy Luna

Reality

(Aiden)

There I stood; glaring at Crystal as she danced in a man's front whilst he smiled close to her collarbone. I stalked over, almost growling loud enough to be heard.

When I reached Crystal, her gaze shot into mine as her cheeks flushed, almost like she saw a ghost peering down at her. Her body stopped moving, making the dude in front of her halt as well. One glance in my direction made the hairs on his arms pause, he was a wolf and knew exactly who I was. Our eyes locked as I could sense the fear coming from him. If I wasn’t so angry I would have taken mercy…but he wasn’t so lucky.

“She’s with me.” I sneered out, in a tone as vile as I felt. The young omega put his hands up in defense and apologized as he moved aside and walked off. Luca purred in a sense of pride and triumph, yet when Crystal half turned to me, irritation coaxed her brows.

“What the f*ck is your problem?” She shouted at me, the music still blaring, but she was understandable. She didn’t drop eye contact as her expression grew angrier. The daggers her eyes threw caused me to take a step back. She was mad, but so was I.

“What?” I said defensively, sensing her growing irritation in her red-intoxicated face. She staggered closer to me, so close I could sense her breath on my chest. Luca started wincing, I was controlling the wolf inside because all he wanted to do was take her, there and then.

“You don’t get to do that.” She said, pointing the wobbly finger into my chest, her eyes glazed over my mouth as she took a breath inwards. “You are not the hero in my story, you are the guy who broke the girl looking for something real.” Her words started to cut me like a knife, I felt a pang inch into my heart, and it was all I could do not to take her in my arms and kiss her, tell her how sorry I was and how I hated who I was deep down.

“I am healing in my own way and I don’t care what you think about it.” She said as she raised her head higher to make more eye contact with me, lowering her finger as someone bumped her just enough for her to stagger even closer to me, forcing our bodies to touch for just a moment. Before she could push away, I grabbed her waist with my hand, pulling her into me.

“Healing?” Healing…present tense? Our eyes lock as I lean down closer to her ear, my lips brush against her ear as I take a long deep breath. Savoring her skin on my mouth, her physicality in my hand. I feel the bulge in my pants growing; my breathing becomes ragged, slowly turning my head angling it towards her mouth.

I feel her hand grip the back of my shirt, her grip causes me to wince in pleasure. The lust in my gaze tells her everything she needs to know. Her eyes begin to close and-

“Aiden!” Her eyes dart open as we both turn our heads simultaneously, her eyes roll as she loosens her grip on my shirt. Darla is maneuvering herself between people as she stumbles her way towards us, telling people to move as she does.

Crystal's hand goes straight to my arm wrapped around her and pushes it off, the look of hurt in her eyes makes me flinch as she takes a step backwards. I can hear Luca whining as her face falls, taking another step further into the crowd.

“I’m going to head back to the table.” She casually said while giving a weak smile. The tension she was trying to break made me feel even worse. Sadness quickly turned into anger as I watched her walk away, knowing that I should run after her. Before I had a chance to move, Darla grabbed my arm. I twirled to face a very red-faced, intoxicated Darla. Her smile made me sick, and her touch repulsed me ever so slightly.

I find her eyes and see the sea of pleas swarming within, the same look that she used to see when she wanted me. The desperate look that let me know the hold I had on her, knowing that she’d give me anything I asked.

Leaning into her ear, I said, “Let's go dance.” Hoping to distract myself from everything that had just transpired. Her eyes narrowed as she examined me with her eyes, no doubt trying to figure out if another girl was with me. She’d be right if she asked, but luckily she just lifted her chin and smirked as she grabbed my hand with a wink. I mindlessly followed suit as I thought about Crystal; her scent and the way my heart flipped whenever she was near, the images alone made me hard instantly.

When Darla stopped walking, I focused on my vision, my brows furrowed as I realized we were in front of the private bathrooms. I let go of her hand as she turned towards me slightly, her eyes darted down to my hard member. F*ck, I cursed at myself. I was hard from thoughts of Crystal and now Darla thought I was earring to go, her eyes staring at my member with lust in her eyes.

I contemplated for a minute, Darla could sense my hesitancy and frustration began to grow. In her face. She was about to speak before I crashed my lips on hers, more so to get her to not talk and also to get it started and done. I moved her backwards into the bathroom, I dimmed the lights, trying to set the correct scene I needed to f*ck her.

“Get on your knees.” I growled in my Alpha voice. The vibrations make her hair stand tall, and I can sense the pleasure building underneath her skirt. She obeys effortlessly; I close my eyes as I picture Crystal there with me, the thought of her being hot and heavy for me sent me into f*ck me mode. I harden again as Darla wraps her hands and mouth around me, taking me all in one singular motion. I groaned as my head fell back; I used my free hand to grab her hair from the back and push her forwards, hearing her moan made me think of Crystal, sending chills down my spine. My grip on her grew tighter as I got closer and closer, shoving her head farther down my shaft as I felt the buildup. The imagery of Crystal being the one to suck me off and take all of me in one sitting, made me explode.

My breathing turned ragged as I opened my eyes to the side of Darla, lapping up my juices as she purred like a puppy. The disappointment came back to me instantly knowing it wasn’t Crystal, knowing I blew my shot yet again. Feeling empty and unsatisfied, I zipped up my pants and exited the bathroom with Darla close behind.

We made it back to the table. I already mind linked my guys and gave them the 411 on what happened, they didn’t say much, but I could tell they weren’t happy with my choices. V and Crystal were in deep conversation and didn’t pay us any attention, we both smelled heavily of se* and it was musky, there was no hiding that. Cam and Zane were sitting next to Crystal, not touching her but noticeably that it appeared they were together. I never really noticed before how close she was to them. Part of me immediately didn’t like it, it made Luca growl as well. If Cam or Zane heard me, they remained silent, I wasn’t there, Alpha, and they held no loyalty to me nor owe me any kind of explanation. Ben caught the corner of my eyes though, he gave me a look of sorrow, knowing full well what happened in the bathroom but too loyal to say anything directly.

“Why not?” I heard snapping myself out of my train of thought. I looked over and saw Darla in Valentina’s face.

“I just don’t want to right now.” I saw V say while rolling her eyes. I looked over and saw Buddy and Brody saw interest as well. Darla was holding a glass towards V, and she refused. Crystal wouldn’t meet my gaze, but her eyes were giving Darla a hard eye roll. You really know how to pick’em," Luca retorted in a tone I was not particularly fond of. He was right and I knew it.

“You're such a buzzkill. Bzzz like a Bee.” Darla started swaying her shot glass in swivels, and V was furrowing her brows in non-amusement. I looked over to Cam and Zane, who were casually drinking and paying the girls no mind or matter, confused. I looked to finally meet Crystal's gaze, to which she very slightly tilted her head from side to side, indicating not to get involved.

“Darla, I know fitting in is hard for you, but try to annoy someone else.” V raises her hand in a dismissive manner, as if excusing herself from further conversing. We all looked over like a horde of crows to see Darla’s red face redden with anger, for within a heartbeat the drink went flying in the air directed at V. If father-time had been there, he would have been impressed quickly, as quickly as the drink was thrown. Valentina grabbed Darla's upper arm and stepped behind her leg and quicked it out from under her, causing a loss of balance, giving V the time to shift their bodies and switch places. My eyebrows rose as Darla was now standing in V’s spot covered in alcohol, a chuckle coming from Crystal's mouth barely loud enough to be heard.

In a flash, I see Darla turn her attention to Crystal, to which Luca starts heavily low growling. Cam and Zane have now started paying attention, Crystal is standing mere feet away from her with slightly raised eyebrows. If she touches one hair on that precious head, Luca sneers out through gritted teeth. I looked to see Ben walking towards us. I gave him that look, and he immediately stopped and assessed the situation and took charge.

“Hey!” Ben exclaimed loudly, just as everyone turned their attention to him, he grabbed a bottle of something and hoisted it in the air.

“I thought we were drinking and dancing.” He gave a slight stumble forward to really sell the performance, he unscrewed it and took a swig out of the bottle. Capturing Darla’s attention, she starts hollering before grabbing the bottle and drinking. I chime into that while putting on a smile. We need to wrap this up. I mind linked the boys sensing this night needed to end before anything else happened.

While conversing, I see Cam from the corner of my eye grab Crystal's jacket, confused. I stepped in front of him. Doing so, I saw Zane coming up on Cam’s flank. These boys are really tight. I think to myself, observing the situation. I glanced down at Crystal’s jacket and c****d my head, silently asking my question.

“Girls are leaving.” Zane says from behind. This dynamic is definitely different, Luca points out whilst still observing. Usually, Beta and Gamma are not as intertwined with each other, but I remember in their files that they were thick as thieves before Valentina found them. I moved aside as I watched Crystal walk out of the booth with V before looking back to find my eyes. With a nod reciprocated on both ends, she disappears with Ben trailing her.

We have to find a way to extend their trip, Luca announced. For once, I agree with him.
