His Reluctant Luna

Lucian

"We are getting reports from several packs, who were attacked. They had recently isolated themselves from the communities. "Rick said, with a grim face.

Few packs were in the isolation for years. They had ceased all outside communications, including business exchanges, or the simple passing of information. Their Alphas didn't show up to council meetings and their lands were sealed against any wolf entering. We only came across them when they faced a severe rogue attack. Like the one, we had faced many months ago.

"How bad is it?" I asked, rubbing my temple.

"Not too bad, though they managed to get their hands on a few beta females."

I clenched my grip, breaking the pen which I had been toying with.

"The rogues have realized that they cannot take over bigger packs or Alpha females, easily. So, they are targeting smaller packs now." Rick added.

"We need to start raiding immediately!" I said.

"Without finding out the identity of the leader?" Daniel asked.

"We don't have the time. My betas have tracked down the location which was pointed out by Olivia, the girl we rescued. Once we have the list of locations. Let's do a synchronized attack. We may or may not be able to catch the leader, but we will be able to cause a major dent in his army of abominations." I said.

"Begin pack wide training, I want everyone war-ready. This attack could come at any moment, and we need to be prepared. Let our human contacts know that something huge is on the horizon; they have to be prepared as well. We don't know if this will stop at our world or spread to theirs."

The Alphas nodded along with me.

"You did what?" Lucian stared at me incredulously. His hands-on propped on his hips. I had rushed to his office in the main packhouse as soon as I heard that he had returned from the council meeting.

"I couldn't leave her all by herself. She was suicidal, so I brought her home. It wasn't my first choice. Initially, I called Rain. Assuming, since she was turned from a human, she would be able to calm Olivia. It started well, then Rain started describing our pack runs, the mating ruts, and wild parties. Olivia panicked, I was scared she would do something if I left her by herself. So, I got her home. Are you angry?"

To my surprise, he burst into laughter. His deep, throaty laugh resonated in the room.

"It's alright, and it is very sweet of you. You do care for that girl." He said, putting his hand around my waist.

With all my time dealing with Olivia and the pack, I felt a little behind on what was going on with the rogues. It felt like I was in the middle of a war zone. I had not attended any Alpha meetings. I rarely had time to ask about the bigger picture.

"So, how is your strategy planning going on?" I asked, a little breathless, as he had pinned me to a wall, and was slowly nibbling my neck.

He stopped nibbling and looked down at me.

"A little problematic," he said. "The team has determined the locations for raids, but we still don't know who is behind all this."

A polite knock at the door stopped us midway. He sighed and released my breast, which he had grabbed from over my tee.

"Come in." He called out, stepping away from me.

Rain entered, looking sheepish.

"Good day, my Alpha, and Luna," she said and bowing more than necessary...

I groaned. That behaviour usually meant she had bad news, which someone else wanted her to deliver. Lucian was much gentler with females than he was with his Betas.

"Let me guess, they lost the last two suspects?" Lucian asked.

"Yes, my Alpha, they can't find either of them. Both have disappeared. Besides, they are having trouble finding the leader," she said.

"Exactly how many of my Betas requested you to convey this bad news ?" he asked with a smirk.

"Well, Damon my mate, Peter, and Kyle. All your nastiest Betas, my Alpha. They agreed it would be safer to send me, rather than face you, themselves. I must be terrifying, don't you think, sir?" she said, grinning.

Lucian growled with laughter. Rain was funny. Lucian would never give her the treatment, his betas would have gotten, had they faced him with that news.

"Cowards," he chuckled.

"Tell my Betas, I was fuming that they lost those suspects, and didn't dare to face me. Tell them how I lost control and became so enraged that Madam Luna had to step in to calm me. That's an order!"

Lucian was grinning. I couldn't stop grinning myself.

Rain smirked back," alright, I will tell them Madam Luna is trying to deal with you, they would be cowering in the hall. This is too much fun."

"Good, girl now leave!" Lucian said, closing the door shut. While Rain giggled.

"How do you plan to explain why you smell like sex?" I said, trying to escape from him, though it was futile, as he had grabbed me and carried me to the large sofa in the corner.

"You used sex to divert my mind, relax me and tame my savage beast," he said, after dropping me down on the sofa and quickly stripping off his shirt. I was suddenly distracted by the display of perfect abs and muscles.

"So, how would your angry beast-like to be relaxed ?" I asked, sitting on my knees.

"Anything you want, love, as long as it involves the two of us," he said, pulling at his belt.

I got up and stopped him. Running my hands over the planes of his stomach and chest, I felt his sharp intake of breath. It had been far too long since we had an intimate moment. I wanted this to last.

I slowly licked his chest and made my way up to his neck. His hands rested at my waist, but they didn't wander. He seemed content to let me control the pace this time. I planned to take full advantage of that.

I sucked lightly on the rough stubble, as he allowed his head to fall back. My animal surged forward in my mind. I licked and sucked at the skin of his neck until I heard him groan my name.

"Sit down," I growled, running my hands down his body.

He complied without a word and sat down on the sofa, spreading his arms wide. I took off my tee, and crawled over him, sitting on his lap, as he bared his throat to me again and closed his eyes. Leaning down, I blew warm breath into his ear. The submissive positioning was making me wild, he had never been that way with me.

I coated every inch of his face and neck with kisses and licks. Lucian didn't move a muscle. I straddled him and ground down over him. He moaned and started to bring his arms up to grab the straps of my bra.

"No," I whispered in his ear, "you can't touch - yet. Just be still for me."

His arms flopped back, and I grinned. I saw my mark sitting proudly on his neck. Bringing my teeth down, I bit lightly at the scar. His whole body shuddered beneath me.noveldrama

There was no way I could hold him down for real, he was much too strong. I grabbed his wrists and pinned them to the sides. With him passive, I bit down hard on my mark. His body writhed beneath me and his hips pressed hard into mine.

"Damm it!" He let loose a string of curses.

I released his hand and he continued to rub my hips against his throbbing manhood.

"Alice, I need you now," he said hoarsely.

"Not yet," I whispered in his ear, "Rain is still listening through the door."

He groaned and smiled, opening passionate eyes to watch me.

"Rain! Get lost, otherwise, I will punish you with a month of isolation," he yelled at the door.

I heard a squeal and receding footsteps. I laughed along with Lucian.

"You will be the death of me," he said, continuing to grind his hips subtly in small circles.

Our outfits were a hassle for me. He unclasped my bra and threw it away in between kisses and bites, my jeans followed. Then I pulled his remaining attire from his body and licked at his shaft once I had freed it. With our clothes gone, I coated my skin with his scent.

"Love," he said, "I can't take much more of this."

"Why?" I asked him, sucking hard on my mark.

Before I could blink, he had manoeuvred me, pinning me on the sofa. I bit back a moan as Lucian kissed, licked, and nibbled his way up my stomach. Each breath left me quivering need as he moved closer to my breast, but so far from my burning need. My mind was between where I wanted him to go. He never really gave me an option, though. With maddening slowness, he traced patterns over my skin. Wherever he touched, it immediately became sensitive. "Fuck," I cried out as he bit and licked gently at the underside of one breast.

"Yes, that's what I intend to do." With slow ease, he licked a spiral towards the centre, circling then blowing.
