CHAPTER ONE
ALICE POV
The smell of the earth is up in the air. The twittering of birds. The trees waved and danced with their arms vigorously. The ants marching accordingly to achieve their goals reminded me of who I had. I smiled.
It was a great atmosphere this morning. The sky had cried last night. I guess joy does come in the morning.
"Hey, what are you doing?" the groggy, deepened morning voice of Gunther had me melting from within.
"Good morning Your Highness. Shall I warm your bath this lovely morning?" I bowed with my forefingers and thumbs holding the helms of my silky dress.
He laughed while rubbing his palms over his face. He rushed off the bed and jumped toward me. He did catch me.
"I will always be faster than you," he said while stealing some kisses from me.
"I didn't even make a move to be fair. I let you have this victory effortlessly" I shrugged and raised my eyebrows. My arms over his broad shoulders, meeting at the back of his neck.
"My victories are always effortless" Guther grinned, his eyes still slightly awake. His frame was like sunrise, a sight to be admired. He always looked most sexy when he just woke up.
"You're lucky you're this attractive, I would have torn your limbs off in a second" I flashed my canine and smirked.
"And you're lucky to be this beautiful, I might have had you banished for this offense" he replied, wrapping his hands around my waist. He was closer. His cheekbones were hard, and his jaws were sharp. He had a finely cut face. His thick, chestnut brown hair complemented his face.
Muscles made up his arms. Triceps, biceps, everything was ripped. His abs were like bricks perfectly arranged over his abdomen. His waist was slim and tucked gorgeously into his hips. He was a god.
"You know, it's alright if you want to impregnate me. I wouldn't mind by the way you're lusting over me right now" his voice broke my thoughts. I couldn't let him have this satisfaction though.
"I was thinking about how a lot of bodies will be lying, dead, today" I feigned anxiousness.
"What-what are you talking about?" he'd broken completely from holding my waist now and a toddler could see the genuine concern in his eyes. This is one of the innumerable reasons I love him. He was always nice to me.
"You know, seeing me looking hot isn't very resistible now, is it?" my last words sensually escaped my mouth. I left my lips parted for just a little longer, I start to raise my dress, my left leg slowly exposing till the full length is seen.
He swallowed his saliva and a bulge formed in between his thighs. He was speechless. His pupils dilated, his eyes now wide awake, and his raging desire to be deep inside me was like the smell of earth earlier on.
"You see, you're proving exactly my point," I whispered, hot breaths causing his ears to prick. Goosebumps over his well-sculpted body. It always amazed me how so much manliness could be tamed by just words.
I took his lips in mine, letting our cold mouth turn up the heat. He kissed me like he would never get the chance again, he was hungry. I broke off the kiss, slowly undressed while using my fingers to trail my side. I pushed him to the bed and walked with my robe now serving no purpose on my body. I let my full woman sight sink into his mind.
Gently, I crawled over him. Took his pants down to his ankles, and I let my warm mouth accommodate the full length of his c**k. He moaned. Oh, how I love it when I put him in this position. Just after the pleasure escaped his lips, I stood up and tied my robe.
"Common, get up. It's time." I turned toward the shower.
"What!? Don't do this" he was so hard and he was half disappointed I chose to tease him.
"Common Guther, don't keep the alpha waiting" I joked from the shower.
It was the celebration of Guther as the new leader of the Crescent Moon Pack. His father decided to make him the alpha of the pack.
His father. Guther's father was feared and respected. He had Gunther as his only child, and he molded him from birth to be an alpha like himself. Gunther had an unbreakable loyalty to his dad, he was obedient and respectful of the man. This made his father love him even more. Guther's father never really liked the idea of us being together. Gunther was four years older than me. He was royalty. Guther's father never really understood our bond.
He always made sure to remind Gunther he wasn't fated to me. I dreaded that. I got over it eventually but it used to make me mad. Guther loved me so much, and I loved him too.
We started as friends who cared for each other. We were kids. With time, it became something more than friendship. We were in love. We knew we weren't mates, but since we never met our mates, we continued being together and we've never looked back.
"I love you, Alice. I love you so much" Guther said moving closer
"But we aren't mates Guther. You heard what your father said. I am your friend, a plaything. It can never be more than that." I said amidst tears and with a broken heart.
"Nothing, no one, not even my father could ever change what we have. I don't care what he says about our relationship, but I"ll never stop loving you. You're my mate now, I don't know how we'll make it, but you are the one I want. You will be my Luna."
Umm, what!?? I didn't know how to take that information. I knew he'd be the alpha of the pack someday, I never just thought he'd be serious enough to think I'll be his luna by then. We weren't even mates. How could that be?
We've been hoping to find our mates for so long. We never quite did. Even when we knew we had feelings for each other, we tried to sink it so as not to get heartbroken if we eventually found our mates soon. We never did. That has been over seven years ago. Now I'm twenty-two years old and we haven't still found them. Thanks be to the gods we never stopped loving each other. We've been lovers since he was nineteen and I, was fifteen.
He has never hurt me in any way. Despite the females showing lots of interest, as we all knew he had no mate, he always said I was his mate. They always found it confusing at first, but when they realized he saw me as his mate, they stopped trying to have in. They didn't want him as a mate, they knew better. They just wanted to have s*x with him. I don't blame them, who wouldn't?
We got to the pack for his coronation as the new king of the pack, and it was an exciting atmosphere. His father stepped down as leader of the pack and crowned him the new alpha.
Gunther was so excited to lead the pack. He will make a great leader and alpha, I know this for sure.
Gunther decided he wanted to hold a party. His first party as an alpha. He sent invitations to all the werewolves far and near. He didn't know them all, he didn't care, and neither did I.
"Do you really think you can outsmart the goddess?" I turn in the direction of the coarse voice.
Oh no.
