Dark Desires

Chapter2

WHY DON'T I BE YOUR BRIDE?

LUNA.

"I can't believe this" I muttered to myself, taking my lower lips into my mouth in the process as I lay flat on my bed, looking at my ceiling, still in my ball dress.

Killain obviously knew I was his mate. Dorian looked willing to accept but dad still sent me away, like it was nothing. I was so sure he could sense it but why then, did he try to ignore it?

Why did he pretend like he couldn't feel anything? Also, what was going on, why was I mated to two men? One I loved and the other, I adored.

'One indirectly rejected me while the other seemed happy!' I thought, remembering the way Dorian's eyes lit up at seeing me.

I remembered the way my heart did a backward flip, as my feets moved on their own accord towards him, but then before I got too close, Killian stopped me.

"Where do you think you are going?" He growled possessively, his eyes fueling with anger. I narrowed my eyes at him in confusion.

"To your room now." He ordered, before calling the guards to escort me out, leaving just him and Dorian back there.

I wondered what happened next.

"But why did he send me away?" I questioned myself, trying to find the answers to the multiple questions swirling in my head.

Just then it occurred to me.

Perhaps he didn't feel the same way. I mean I liked him but have never thought of the possibility that he might not see me that way. Just thinking about it, was just like a knife s***h to my flesh.

I took in a deep breath, closing my eyes and imagining how he stared at me earlier when he discovered the bond, the way his irises glowed in the moonlight, reflecting from above, his eyes blazing with fierce intensity that made my skin prickle.

That sent my heart racing. The way he bent closer, our nose touching one another and our lips almost meeting made my breath caught in my throat, almost leaving me gasping for air.

I closed my eyes in anticipation when he suddenly backed out.

"Why?" I suddenly screamed out and turned around to grab my pillow and shoved myself into it, screaming to my heart's content and at the same time, sniffing.

My eyeballs widened in disbelief, as I felt liquid running down my cheeks. It hurt , knowing he probably didn't want me.

'Why did he have to be so cruel?' I pondered, trying to stop myself from trembling, suddenly feeling cold.

I wrapped myself in the duvet, not bothering to get my dress off and already told the maids, beforehand not to disturb me.

......

......

"Killain, please" I gasped, my brows furrowed in pain as I tried to reach out to him, tried to touch him on his arm, when he suddenly jerked my hands away, like I had burnt him.

I felt a sting from his rejection, like a stab to the heart. My eyes dropped to the floor, welling with tears as I tried to form words out of my mouth.

"W-w-why, why c-can't you j-just believe me?" I stuttered, almost yelling but then, he just scoffed, his back turned to me before he slowly turned around to look at me and I reared backwards from what I saw in his orbs.

Shivers running down my spine. He was glaring at me, flames obvious his eyes, his fists clenched tightly, veins bulging out of his forehead. He looked like he wanted to hit me.

I felt like my breath was being knocked out of me. The Killain I know, used to look at me with love and adoration, not hate and detest.

"You w***e!" He cursed, and I gasped, my eyes widening as I couldn't believe he just called me that. This was all her fault, I should have eradicated her when I had the chance.

"Atleast, hear her out." A voice said and I turned to see Dorian walking into the room, his hands behind his back.

"Shut up and get out, Dorian." Killain ordered, pointing towards the door, using his Alpha authority, causing Dorian to tighten his expression, before bowing and leaving the room as said.

"N-no." I gasped, unable to believe he just did that to his friend. What was Killian turning into?

"What did you just do?" I yelled into his face, crying while he just wrinkled his nose at me in disgust.

"What? Did you sleep with him too?" He accused with a glare and I widened my eyes at him in disbelief.

"Why would you accuse me of such?" I struggled to voice out, shaking my head sideways in disbelief while he just scoffed.

"How could you do this to me Alicia, how could you?" He roared as he moved closer to me, towering over me.

I sensed threat and anger from him, so I moved backwards, tears streaming down my cheeks.

"B-b-believe me, Killain, I d-d-did n...." I tried saying when he suddenly grabbed me and shoved me hard, shaking me till I couldn't feel myself, fury blazing in his eyes.

"Why did you?" He roared and suddenly, I felt myself being tapped, with a voice panicking as it called my name.

"Princess Luna, Princess Luna, Princess Luna" I immediately flipped my eyes open in urgency and found myself in my room, on my bed.

'What was that dream?' I pondered.

"Oh! Bless the moon goddess you are alright" One of my maids, Josephine, cried out in relief, her worried eyebrows relaxing.

I was still confused and turned to ask her.

"Why do you say so?" I questioned.

"Well, I came in to prepare you for the day and met you on the bed, sweating and screaming as you tossed back and forth on your bed" She explained and I understood immediately.

"It was just like you were having a nightmare" She added and I mouthed an " oh".

"Is everything alright, princess Luna?" Josephine inquired, tone of worry evident in it.

"Ofcourse, why wouldn't it be? The nightmare was probably as a result of me being too tired" I lied, feeling in my guts, it was way more but what?

"Alright, I shall go prepare your bath" She informed me and I nodded at her, before she dispersed.

Soon the other maids came in and went about their duties while I still remained on the bed, wondering what all that was about.

I was begging Killain to listen to me, Dorian tried intervening but Killain used his Alpha authority on him?

'Impossible!' I thought, knowing Killain could never go through such an extreme towards his friend.

Also my name was Alicia not Luna? What was going on? I would have said that was the future but my name isn't Alicia?

'Or is it probably my mind playing tricks on me from worrying too much?' I pondered, getting no desired answer.

"Mi'lady" I felt a tap on my back and turned to see Josephine's brows furrowed, creasing her forehead with lines of worry.

"Are you sure everything is alright?" She inquired and I nodded, faking a smile to ease her worries but she just kept on looking at me suspiciously.

Days passed and neither Dorian or Killain made a show nor did they allow me to see them. Anytime I tried visiting either of them in their quarters or office, I was always told they were busy.

I knew they were both avoiding me and that just broke my heart the more. I missed them, their laughter, how we played and joked around.

Also, rumors has been going around I was just an ordinary girl who probably did not have a wolf but I felt her that night. She alerted me of my mates but now, I couldn't reach out to her no matter how I tried.

'This was so not how I expected my days after school to go' I thought, signing out loud and trying to clear my head from too much thinking, before I begun to have another round of headache again.

"Oh Luna! There you are" I heard the voice of the woman, I despised so much in this world, the one who always tries to snatch Killain from me, who doesn't fail to show how interested she was in him.

His mistress, Aurora Grey. One of the millennium, strong, powerful werewolves in this realm.

Tall, and beautiful, with her long, dark, Raven hair, piercing, emerald orbs that sparkles, high cheekbones, sexy, facial expression and an extremely, curvy body which I envied.

I tried not to frown as she walked up to me majestically, with that sickening smile of hers which I usually thought she had on just to mock me.

"How may I be of help to you, Aurora?" I asked, as I plastered a fake smile on my face, trying hard as possible not to grimace in her presence and not let my hatred for her show.

"I think it's time you start calling me mother dear." She said and the smile immediately disappeared from my face.

"Excuse me?" I inquired, wondering if this woman had hit her head or something.

Mother, my foot.

"Yes sweetie. Considering I and your father would be tieing the knot soon" She replied and I felt my world crashing down as I whispered, suddenly feeling out of air, my eyes widening in disbelief.

"What?". She gave me the same smile and I knew instantly it was for mocking purposes.

The b***h, who does she think she was fooling?

"I doubt that would be happening, Alicia for father would have told me". I informed and her smile just grew wider, before she patted me on my shoulder, making my skin crawl in disgust.

"Then perhaps you guys are not as close as you thought you were or you are not as important" She said and then left abruptly before I could say a word.

I crashed to the floor after she left, realizing she wasn't playing one of her silly pranks but was telling the truth.

But how come? He was my mate.

...........

..........

"Why are you getting married to her?" I screamed as I barged into his chambers without warning. He was just pulling off shirt, leaving him in just his royal trousers.

My eyes flipped to his chest and athletic build, saliva gathered in my mouth but I gulped it down, reminding myself of what I came in for.

"How did you get in?". He asked calmly.

"Answer me" I fumed.

"The elders need me to provide a male hair since you couldn't transform" He began, reminding me of that dreadful, embarrassing moment.

"And?".

"They decided Aurora was the perfect fit to be both a Luna and provide an heir ".

"No. Not her. Anyone else but her" I yelled at him and he turned around to face me, furious.

"I have no one else".

"What do you mean, how about me, why don't I be your bride?" I questioned, taking my eyes downwards as I felt his hot gaze on me.

Then the next thing I knew, he burst into laughter. I felt my heart squeezing in pain, pondering if what I said was a joke or something.

"I am serious." I said softly, looking at him and he stopped, furrowing his brows at me.

"Nope, you can't be. You are way younger than me and my daughter." He reminded me like I had forgotten, when it was he who did.

"We are not related." I corrected him and he immediately kept quite. I tried moving closer to him, but he held out his hand, frowning at me.

"Related or not, I can't be with my daughter." He told me before dismissing me. I wanted to cry but held it back.

He was clearly fighting our bond but I wouldn't let him. He belonged to me and no one else. I was going to ruin that marriage and have him, even if I had to use Dorian.
