She rose from the ground and approached him, unaware that she had reverted to human shape and was standing entirely naked in front of him. She could tell his wolf had also brought him here because he was nude and in human form; they both were. Of course, that was the only way he could have kept up with her; a human's running legs would never be able to keep up with a wolf's.
As she approached him, she expected him to be angry at her for fleeing, to question what she did in the restaurant, but all she saw in his eyes was burning desire, need to be with her, desire that made her hunger for him as well.
"I'm Valerie," she said curtly, trying to ignore the possessive aura that washed over his features as his gaze lingered on her for a long time, not taking his gaze off her for a second, not saying anything but watching her skin glow ever so brightly beneath the moonlight, watching the cool night breeze sweep her blonde hair ever so swiftly, outlining the shape of her face, she was perfect for him.
And he was perfect for her as well, with his perfectly sculpted male body, his rich black hair, and his perfectly sculpted face that held his gazing blue eyes that he had refused to take off her up until now, his chiselled chest where tiny hairs sprung and where his rock hard abs were neatly arranged in three rows of two's, her eyes went down below to his waist level and she took in the sight of his manhood, big and hard for her, she He was genuinely exquisite, and the moon goddess had bestowed him upon her; but, she couldn't have him even if she wanted to.
'His name is Drusus,' Erida said after speaking with his wolf.
"Drusus?" Valerie asked him out loud to corroborate what Erida had said, but he didn't react, either because he was caught up in the full mate bond impact or because he was enraged that she had run away from him.
"Mine," he eventually hissed beneath his teeth after a lengthy pause, ambling closer to her and disregarding her comments; she knew he wanted to get right to the point, to the actual reason he'd followed her here; he'd come to claim his mate.
**********
You are not his property. Valerie, it's time to refute his claim, time to reject him now; rejecting him is the right thing to do, it's one of the most important things you've been taught to do as the future Luna of the pack; you have to reject your true mate in order to assume your duties; that was the wise part of her speaking in her mind, but the foolish part of her spoke louder tonight. And the foolish part of her told her to disregard the wise part. Don't listen to her, the voice said loudly enough for her to hear.
Valerie had always assumed that when her partner arrived, she would just leap right into the rejection stage and get it over with; Luna Amalda made it sound so simple, but now she realises it wasn't. She had two strong reasons for this. The first was that she was now less than three feet away from him, naked and still taking in the sight of each other; she could literally feel his breath on her face as he breathed. The second reason was that this mate link seemed to have erased any sense of logic in her, allowing the naive Valerie to outnumber the wiser Valerie, who would've started running again the moment she spotted him here.
She did recall that Luna Amalda had always warned her to stay as far away from her mate as possible, especially the first time they imprinted on each other, because the mate bond was always at its strongest then and she might find it difficult to reject him. As you can see, she had tried. As a result, you can see and comprehend why the next thing she did wasn't her fault.
All she wanted as she peered at those mesmerising blue eyes was the man standing in front of her; she didn't know who he was, she'd never seen him before, the only thing she knew was that she wanted him......, NO! no!!!...... the mate tie made her want him, and, as she had previously reasoned, it wasn't her fault because, at this point, the mate bond had just increased the volume of the foolish Valerie's voice to the maximum while smouldering wise Valerie's voice away till she could hardly hear her. Her entire naked body ached for him... NO!!.... her entire naked body yearned for him because of the mate link. Oh, Erida, where are you? Erida should be the next person here talking some reason into her now that wise Valerie and Karla aren't there to aid her. Valerie tried to approach her, but she seems to be so interested with his wolf that she ignored her.
As you can see, she did everything, and there was nothing else she could do to stop what was about to happen. This link had her entire body under its control, like a puppeteer with strings, catching her in its web and leaving her no option but to dangle beneath its influence, taking over her entire body; as you can see, the next thing that happened wasn't her doing it, but that stupid mate bond.
He extended his hand to her, and she knew what it meant: Axel would extend his hand to her on the day of the joining ceremony in front of the pack, and she'd be expected to accept his claim according to tradition, after which she'd become his Luna and be forever attached to him. The man in front of her with his claim was the one she was supposed to reject so she could accept Axel; she should have done it by now, but why was she having such difficulty?
She knew there would be no turning back if she accepted Drusus now. Her heart told her to accept him, but her mind, which always advised her to do the right thing, had been shut down; it wasn't there to tell her what to do this time; all she had to do was follow her heart, which bing-banged loudly for Drusus.
She performed what every female wolf does when she sees her mate for the first time. She sank to her knees in front of him, placing her hand in his, lowering her head and entirely committing herself; it was a surrender, she couldn't hold it in any longer. What are you up to?!!! Wise Valerie's voice yelled; Valerie could hear her weakly now, but foolish Valerie seemed to push her off a cliff after that question since she couldn't hear her anymore.
"Yours," was the only word that came out of Valerie's mouth as she handed herself over to him to do with as he pleased tonight. She knew there would be repercussions for her actions, but silly Valerie assured her not to worry. I've got you covered, she assured Valerie; if only she hadn't listened to her and gone with smart Valerie instead, but don't blame her; after all, it was all the fault of the mate connection.
"Mine," he said again, bending forward and cupping her face with his two hands, lifting her chin to face him and kissing her forehead with his lips. He had soft lips despite the fact that the rest of his body was as rigid as granite.
"Rise," a soothing demand that came out of his mouth but had her obeying it like a remote control; silly Valerie now had entire control over her body, thanks to the mating bond.
Now that she was back on her feet, he brought his lips closer to kiss her, and as their lips met, his enchanting kiss answered the question that had troubled her soul since the day she realised she had been chosen to be the Luna, the question Amalda had failed to answer and convince her of.
Valerie felt guilty; she didn't belong to him and yet she was making him believe she did; she tried to see if she could hold onto the guilt long enough to stop the kiss and tell him everything, but foolish Valerie beat her to it, flushing the guilt away completely so her heart felt nothing and the kiss continued.
His kisses were like wildfire, lighting her up while also igniting her own soul. She craved more of him at the time, so she put her tongue into his mouth and intensified the kiss. She entered the forest thirsty, but he graciously let her drink from his mouth, soothing all forms of need in her until the only thing she became longing for was his body. He appeared to want the same thing as well, but his want was more of a hunger than a thirst, as he put his arm around her body, feeling every inch of her as he kissed her; claiming his territory and making her his.
This must end! We don't know if wise Valerie survived the fall, but foolish Valerie went on to interact with her again, and that was the last Valerie heard of her tonight. She wrapped her arms around his neck and drew him closer to her as their tongues danced erratically with each other's, the two of them having great needs and knowing exactly what to do to satisfy them; he quenched her thirst while she satiated his hunger.
He grabbed her mouth aggressively, as if he couldn't get enough of it, and stroked her hips, advancing to her buttocks and grabbing her ass cheeks so tight she almost squealed with her mouth still in his.
He moved his hand again and brought it to nudge her thighs to open, when they did, his hand came down on her p***y with a few light swats before he started rubbing her c**t gently, she moaned in exhilaration as his fingers worked magic inside of her, he groaned as he felt her wetness all over his fingers, it didn't take long for her to come, as she'd already been feeling the quickening sensation in her the minute she saw him naked. As he pressed his fingers deeper into her inflamed c**t, she was overtaken with absolute bliss and pulled away from his lips.
She was consumed by the intense desire for her mate, throwing her head back and biting her lower lip with her eyes still closed, and then she wasn't aware of her surroundings anymore, it didn't feel like they were in a cold forest, with nothing but trees surrounding them and the dim night light provided by the moon above.
No, it felt like they were in their own world, a utopia where only the two of them existed. But wait, what was it that she was forgetting? Drusus had taken over her entire body, and the mate bond had delivered her over to him.
He bent his head and kissed her neck, shoulders, chest, and then her two perky breasts that couldn't wait to greet him. He pressed his tongue against her right breast, softly sucking on her peaked n****e and kneading the other like playdough, every muscle in her strained as he devoured her breasts with his mouth. She twirled her fingers through his black curls, drawing his face closer to her chest as if he wasn't already. He continued, his lips moving in sync with his fingers, which he pushed in and out of her hot p***y, sucking her breasts with his mouth and f*****g her c**t with his fingers.
He then raised his head to kiss her again, and this kiss was even more delicious than the previous one. Gripping her waist and hoisting her up with their mouths still fused, he lowered her in his arms until her back lay against the cold forest ground covered in grass while he lay on top of her, in between her legs, she could feel his hard masculine form on top of her body, she could feel his length brushing against her c**t.
He wanted all of her tonight, and she wanted him too, but there was something she was nervous about; this was her first time with a man; although when they started kissing, it felt like the two of them had known each other intimately for a long time, but that feeling vanished the moment she realised he wanted to take her tonight; she didn't know if she was ready, but she couldn't stop kissing him.
His mouth left hers as if he'd read her mind, and he muttered seriously into her ears, caressing her neck and cheek before hypnotising her with his deep chilly voice.
