Chapter 2 - Moment of Weakness Part 2

1825 Words
Two hands gripped my hips and pulled me into a dark room. The scent of lavender hit me… Roman. He spun me around and pushed me against the door shutting it with my back. His lips landed on mine; it stunned me. It took me a second to process what was happening, my first ever kiss. A swift moment passed before I grabbed hold of him with both hands pulling him closer, needing more. His lips were soft against mine and the moment I granted him access to my mouth I lost all control. “Kinsley!” I heard Abigail calling my name making me come to my senses. I frantically broke the kiss between us wanting to get out of there before Abigail walked in on. “Shhh” he lowly whispered while he pinned me to the door with his hand covering my mouth. He pulled his head further away so our eyes could meet while still holding me in place. “Shhh” he mouthed again with a wicked grin. “Uuuug, I hate that I am always the one having to go look for this girl!” Abigail shouted while stopping her foot and storming off. Roman slowly lowered his hand from my mouth and loosening the grip he had on my body but not letting his hands leave my body. “People are gathering in the dinner hall we need to go” I whispered as softly as I could making Romans grin reappear again only to swiftly give me another kiss on my lips. “Fine” he agreed with an evil chuckle. Ow my Moon Goddess this boy will be the death of me. Roman moved away from me and I immediately straightened my dress worried about how we would look leaving this room. Roan went first, I peeked and saw him going into the dining room. “Kinsley, come on!” I heard Abigail again in a defeated tone. I decided to go the opposite way of the dining hall, towards Abigail. Running into her and entering the dining hall with Abigail would be way less suspicious and after what Luna Constance witnessed already, I could not allow more suspicions. “Ow my goddess Kinsley, didn’t you hear me calling.” She shouted out the moment she laid eyes on me. “I am sorry, I just needed a minute” I said while whipping the bottom of my eyes like I was fixing my make up after crying. I knew she would not care if I was upset, but it would let her assume I was alone in tears. “Ug you always ruin everything” she stated under her breath while walking past me towards the dining hall. “Everyone is waiting for you” she shouted not even looking back if I was following her. I took a deep breath and rushed to keep up with her wanting to enter the dinning hall with her. Walking in everyone stopped to look at me and Abigail, I immediately looked to the floor feeling guilty for the hold up. Abigail went to her normal seat next to Roman but when she reached her chair, she stopped looking at the placement card. She looked at Alex then and Roman and he pointed to the seat next to Alex. She rolled her eyes and shook her head at her brothers, knowing they should not make a scene Infront of the guests they only glared at each other and took the seats according to the placements card, leaving one open seat, the seat next to Roman. I stared at him with wide stretched eyes and forced my feet to move to take my seat. Formal dinners the Alpha is always seated at the head of the table, with his Luna on his right and his Beta on his left. Alex is seated at the other end of the table as the next in line Alpha, with me on his right as his soon to be Luna and Roman on his left as the next in line Beta. Abigail always sits next to Roman being their sibling and if they had more children, they would be seated next to Abigail and so forth. Tonight however, Abigail was seated on my seat next to Alex and I was seated next to Roman. Someone had to have switched the place cards, and if Roman’s grin on his face was any indication, it was him. He stood and pulled out my seat for me while Alex was clearly unhappy staring daggers at Roman. “What are you doing?” I asked as softly as possible. “Pulling out your chair” he knew what I was really asking, but chose to ignore it. The moment I sat down everyone continued their conversations, my eyes locked with Alex and he still did not look very happy. I tried to give him a reassuring look but Abigail grabbed his arms pulling his gaze from me. For once I was grateful for Abigail’s interruptions. I needed all this attention off of me, especially tonight. I don’t know what was going on with me, but I felt all over the place, I am usually very in control of myself. Am I having a mental breakdown? A hand on my thigh sent my heart to my throat. I shot my head to Roman, not believing he would be so bold as to touch me while everyone was present. “You need to breath Kens” he started talking before I could say anything. “You look like chaos itself has possessed you” his hand was still on my leg making its way up my inner thigh. I sat there staring at him, distracted by his touch. “Kinsley, Kinsley” Luna Constance pulled me from my trans. “I’m sorry Luna…” I apologized, not really knowing if I needed to but also had no idea what I missed. I slowly removed my napkin from my silverware to place on my lap. Once my hands were on my lap, I immediately grabbed hold of Romans hand pinning it to my leg to stop him from moving any higher. He was already so close to my core. “I was asking if you are excited for your 18th birthday.” She repeated her question. Birthday, a term I chose not to use as I was technically never birthed. I was conceived and grown inside a lab. “Excited for what comes with my 18th birthday” everyone cheering on Alex, thinking I meant mating with Alex, although I meant shifting into my wolf for the first time, but I turned to look at Alex with a big smile playing along. Alex loved the attention and locked his eyes with mine meeting my smile. Roman gripped my leg tightly not liking the guest’s reaction sending a rush of desire through me. I could smell my own arousal and immediately had to cross my legs trying to hide it. Roman’s grip became tighter, not understanding his reaction I turned to look at him but was met with two golden eyes. s**t, wolf. Did he smell my desire he created? I swiftly removed Romans hand while standing up to distract everyone form my fast hand movement. “Excuse me” I announced and tried to leave the dining room. Alex and Roman both stood to their feet. “Sit!” Luna Constance ordered her sons, and slowly stood to her own feet to follow me. I did not stop of bother to look anyone in the eyes I just proceeded out the door needing to get to my room. Luna Constance finally caught up with me grabbing my arm to make me stop. “Kinsley, what is going on with you tonight, this is not like you.” She asked in a soft tone, sounding genially concerned. I looked at her for a moment, trying to find the words. Wanting to tell her. “I don’t know” was the honest truth. I wrapped my arms around my middle and tried again to look for the words, but I was speechless, just overwhelmed. Luna Constants eyes narrowed as she took me in. “Kinsley, have you been feeling wrestles? Uneasy? Emotional?... hormonal?” she paused before asking the last one. She said hormonal but I knew she meant horney. I nodded my head actually feeling grateful she was able to voice what was going on inside me. A soft smile formed on her face, and her eyes suddenly lit up. “Those are all signs that you are coming into your wolf” she said excitingly. She grabbed my face with both hands and rested my forehead on hers. “Ok…” she started as she connected her arm with mine escorting me to my room. “It’s a good thing you excused yourself form the dinner, to many males around. You will have to stay in your room for the coming weeks. Alex will obviously be your only visitor. We cannot risk you imprinting…” She continued to explain the plan. She said imprinted, but she meant find my mate. Technically there has never been any wolf from the Cultivation who found their true mate, it was believed because we were made by man that the moon goddess never blessed us with a true mate, but no one was ever willing to take the risk and be the first one with a million-dollar investment who found and chose their mate above their born purpose. Therefore, we never dreamed of finding our true mate, our chosen mate, the person we were created for, was like our true mates for us. “Once you have shifted Alex will mark you and everything will be different. You will be bonded and Alex will not fight this anymore, he will finally forget about all these other girls and refocus all the energy he put in to rebelling against us and against this union and direct it towards being the next Alpha, being a good mate and having a family. OOOOO, baby pups!” she squealed in excitement. I smiled at her excitement, a part of me was excited as well. The moment we all have been waiting for is finally closing in. The start of my purpose, to my actual life, life beyond isolation, rejection and loneliness. A start of a life, with a mate and my own family. I took a deep breath; this was finally happening. We reached the room and she let go of me to step inside. She had a big smile on her face and a part of me felt proud that it was there because of me. She excused herself needing to get back to the dinner party, but arranged to have my food brought to my room, which I welcomed not wanting to be among that crowed.
