SLUTTY WARRIOR LUNA

A Shocking Discovery

~Roxy’s POV~

The palace had been peaceful since I returned but it only made me more worried,I suspected that was the calm before the storm. I haven't seen my father since I returned.

I felt a certain relief at this, I hadn't even seen the High alpha since that day, after throwing myself at him that day,he teased me but did not act.

The guards were always following me and it kept me on edge, I was like a free prisoner.

It was sickening!

I just wanted to know why I was brought back, I wanted to know my fate and get done with it already .

I finally sat down on the edge of the bed when I was tired of walking around the room and just then the door opened.

I didn’t even need to look up to know who it was,the air changed the moment he stepped in.

Julian the High Alpha, I wondered how he kept his aura hidden when we first met or was I too horny to notice.

I finally raised my eyes slowly to look at him

He was standing there like he belonged to every space he entered. His body exuded a calm and collected type of danger.His ice blue eyes landed on me immediately, sharp and calculating, like I was the only thing in the room worth his attention.

And the worst part was my body reacting before my mind could.

My chest tightened slightly and I could feel an ache in my stomach , my wolf was a few seconds away from purring and I couldn't help but take his scent in.

He shut the door behind him and walked in fully, then sat on the sofa opposite the bed I was on. He leaned back like he had all the time in the world, legs slightly apart, one arm resting on the back of the sofa.

A smirk formed on his face as he looked at me, and I was instantly annoyed,my brain taking over.

We stared at each other and the silence stretched between us. His eyes occasionally went down my body and my low cut gown did nothing to hide the swell of my boobs from his gaze.

He didn’t blink much, only temporarily casting a glance at my chest.

It became a silent battle of control and the longer it went, the harder it became for me.

Something about the way he looked at me made me feel pinned in place. Like I couldn’t move without his permission and I hated that feeling

I finally broke first,my voice coming out firm as I folded my arms in front of me.

“Why am I here?” I asked. “Where is my father? What do you want from me?”

He didn’t answer immediately.

He just kept looking at me like he hadn't heard what I asked , his eyes made one last sweep at my body before coming back to my eyes.

Then he spoke.

“Marry me.”

I blinked at once , confused , I blinked again unsure if I heard him correctly

My brain refused to process it properly.

“Huh?” I asked in shock.

His smirk widened slightly, like he enjoyed my reaction.

“Marry me,” he repeated again. “I’m the strongest Alpha known. You are already being presented to me so you actually don't have a choice, but I want you to agree willingly.”

That word hit me immediately.

Presented.

My chest tightened. He was wrong but that didn't help matters

My face changed instantly as anger rose in me.

“You’re insane,” I said sharply, standing up from the bed. “You think you can just take me and say that? I don’t belong to anyone, or you think because I threw myself at you the other day,you have me in a chokehold”

His eyes followed me calmly.

“I didn’t say you belong to me,neither do I want you in a chokehold” he replied smoothly. “I said I want you.”

That made me even more angry and the bottled anger inside me finally exploded.

“Never,” I snapped. “I’ll cut my neck open with a claw first before I ever agree to something like that.”

For a moment, the room went quiet and then he laughed, it wasn't hysterical, it was a deep, rich laugh filled with amusement.

“Calm down, princess,” he said, leaning forward slightly, elbows resting on his knees now. “If you do that, how would you see your mother?”

Everything inside me stopped and it was like a bucket of ice cold water was poured straight into my body.

My anger froze alongside me and my mouth was left open slightly

“My… mother?” I repeated slowly after getting myself

His expression didn’t change.

“Yes,” he said. “She’s still alive, but she’s a wandering wolf.”

My hands tightened into fists.

“That’s not true,” I said quickly, voice shaking slightly now.

“She is,” he continued calmly. “She didn't die , your father didn't succeed, she escaped and is surviving, but barely.”

My chest tightened painfully and for a second, I couldn’t breathe properly.

I hadn't seen my mother for years, the only memory of her was her face that was still engraved in my mind, I could clearly hear my father ripping her out that day.

And now he was standing here telling me she was alive.I didn’t know whether to believe him or hate him more for using her name.

He continued, voice still calm.

“If you marry me and help me fully ascend, I’ll help you find her. It’s a win-win deal.”

I went completely silent, but my mind was racing

I needed to find my father, I needed to confirm, I needed to know if my mother was possibly alive.

I was captured, my breast friend might still be in danger and now I was being offered a deal like my life was just a transaction.

I didn’t move, I couldn't , tears were threatening to spill out but I couldn't let it go , I just sat there thinking.

Julian watched me carefully like he was waiting for an answer

The silence stretched out and he finally stood up.

He adjusted his posture slightly, and strengthened his black shirt.

“I’ll give you till morning,” he said. “Think about it and tell me your decision.”

Then he started walking toward the door.

Before leaving, he paused and gave a slight bow before turning and leaving

The door closed behind him and the silence after that felt heavier than anything before.

For a moment,I could still keep up the act but then everything in me collapsed at once and my false bravado broke.

I laid down slowly and cried

And I cried, very loudly ,letting out all the emotions I had kept in out , the emotions from losing my mother, the hurt from being on the run from my very own father, the hurt from my best friend almost dying.

Everything came pouring out and my life felt like it was no longer in my control.
