Aztec's Luna novel Chapter 4

Chapter 4

As soon as he saw her Aztec wondered how beautiful she was. Just like in the prophecy, Alexa was in a schemata hardly covering her body for such a chilly winter but her beauty was incomparable from any other woman in the world. She had the most arresting crystal blue eyes and a cream coloured complexion with thick blonde hair. He had seen her on a full moon day and her name was matching his human title. Such a gorgeous girl but living in utter poverty. Aztec felt sorry for Alexa. He wanted to give her all happiness of the world. He is the Alpha of the Dark Ink Pack and she was his Luna. Alexa had every right to enjoy the riches being his mate.-

"When would she open her eyes?" Aztec asked the pack doctor. "Within an hour Alpha...." The doctor replied in terror staring at the transforming dark eyes of Aztec from their refreshing forest greens. "Well, you said the same thing an hour ago too." He complained growing in ire. "She is malnourished, had run from a very long distance and she was starving when she reached here. I had to insert three drips for her to regain the energy that she lost but do not worry, she would live...." Before the pack physician uttered another word, Aztec held the collar of the old man instilling fire and roared sending horror shivers down the body of the poor doctor. "Do not dare to finish that sentence. Remember she will be your Luna within a short time." The Gray haired man gulped heavy and comforted but with fear anticipating the ferocity of the Alpha. "She would soon be conscious, Alpha...." Aztec released his collar and groaned low. "She better otherwise you are soon going to dig your own grave."

On the other side Alexa could hear everything around her. "Someone was anxious and worried about her health. In all the eighteen years of her life Alexa did not know any person in her family caring about her this much except her father. But her dad was not in a position to look after her. When he was himself a dependent how could he look after her? Alexa thought. She wanted to open her eyes and see the Angel who was concerned about her so much but her body refused to cooperate. Her eyes refused to open and hands felt numbed.

Alexa had seen Aztec in both human and werewolf form exactly like the way it was forecasted. So when she wakes Alexa wouldn't remember anything about their encounter. Aztec recalled and immediately went cautious in holding a pack meeting at the pack house. "I have found my mate and she is presently sick taking rest in my Alpha house. The only thing is - she doesn't recognize us as werewolves. We need to be cautious before her in not revealing our true appearances until I tell her everything about us." Alpha Aztec announced to his entire Dark Ink pack and the most important dignitaries like Beta and Gama who assembled in the pack house.

"Okay Alpha Aztec." There was a unanimous reply from all the pack members. "Also nobody will share this news with anyone outside the pack. We have good number of enemies around us and everyone is waiting for my only weak point. Luna Alexa will be my only soft side and she will automatically go to be their easiest target. So until I declare no one will refer her as my mate to any outside pack members." Alpha Aztec proclaimed severe and authoritarian.

There went a tumult between the members in the pack house. "The meeting is adjourned." Aztec declares pushing his chair behind and standing up but monitoring the surprise upheld on the face of each member. He walks back to his Alpha house and picking a glass of water for himself on the way from the kitchen he reaches the bedroom where his mate was resting. Aztec could see the flutter in the eyes of Alexa. He took a gulp of water and observed the beautiful sleeping form of his mate. How much he wanted to run his hands on that inviting body....after all she was his in every perfect way.

A hand which was much larger than hers fondled her cheek. "Open your eyes for me my love..." The male voice requested. Alexa thought hard - whose was this unrecognizable new voice? Alexa was determined to open her eyes and with the willpower vested in her she forced her orbs unlocked to see the person, in front of her stood a tall and handsome man who was above six feet. He was irrevocably the most attractive man she had ever laid her eyes upon. Who was he? Alexa wondered and looked around.

She was in a very well furnished room which embalmed wealth power and money. How did I reach here and who was this man? Before Alexa could ask her questions the man played softly her fingers and asked. "How are you feeling my love?" Love? Alexa's puzzles turned furious. "I am not your love. You might have mistaken me for someone else." Alexa spoke blunt and strong. "Now if you give me some space to move, I need to reach my home. My step-mother would have already listed curses for me by now."

Alexa tried to move her limbs when a sharp pain of a needle pierced at the back of her hand. "Watch it!" The man shouted. "Can't you give that poor body a moment?" He pointed to her in an annoyance. "You need to rest and your body is incapable of functioning because you are very weak. A total of five Glucose drips have gone attached to you till now and I do not know how many more you would require. So you will sleep here keeping your mouth shut." The dominant man demanded.

Alexa's fury was now beyond control. "Who are you to impose restrictions upon me?" Aztec held tight the both sides of Alexa's cheeks between his fingers and breathed heavy. His temper was going out of control and his wolf was about to come out. Slowly his skin was about to turn to a fur and canines to come out of his teeth. You need to control your anger Aztec. Be careful Alexa shouldn't see your real nature until she has fallen in love with you. Aztec's wolf cautions.

Giving one last look to the appalled girl on the bed he dashed out of the bedroom closing the door behind him in a violent thud and raced into the forest. Alexa slightly trembled on her bed at the action of the impulsive man. No sooner Aztec could see the moon in the sky he jumped into the air in a rolling speed of a wind and shifted into his wolf. Making a deathly roar he looked towards the sky. The moon projected its rays on him as if in a silent consolation and slowly his roars silenced to soft grunts. After sometime he stabled himself and reached back to his house.

Alexa opened her eyes as soon as she saw Aztec. "How did I reach here?" She asked trying her softest voice in order not to displease Aztec. He smiled silently thanking the holy spirit for its boon on him. Alexa doesn't remember anything and it was confirmed now. "You were found unconscious at the foot hills of the forest by me." Aztec half lied to Alexa in an attempt to keep her beside him.

Alexa held her head in dismay. "I do not remember anything." She complained and tried to sit down but Aztec stopped her. "Like I told you, you need to rest." He ordered and brought a bowl of fruit pudding to feed her. "Why would you stay in the middle of this forest?" Alexa looked curious staring outside the window which had an enticing view of tall green trees and a moon shining beautiful in the night sky.

"I'm an engineer. I came here to build a factory." Aztec lied one more time. He had no choice if he had to win Alexa within twelve full moons and marry her. Like the spiritual voice told him she was his doom as well his boon. He cannot afford to lose her and suffer another hundred years of a werewolf. "All the houses you see around are the homes of people who work for me. You will be happy, safe here and can stay as long as you wish."

Alexa didn't appear satisfied with Aztec's offer. "I need to go home. My step-mother is a witch. She will burn me alive if I do not reach home in time and cook for my family." Aztec grunted in annoyance. The girl was stubborn more than he could imagine. "Do you have any idea about the status of your health?" You cannot move from the bed for another two weeks in the least to get hale and hearty."

"My father is sick and I need to look after him. There is nobody else to take care of him in the house." Alexa requested but could see Aztec's eyes slowly transforming to black pools from their soft greens. She was now well versed in understanding the ruling monster's fury. She feared she had once again ruffled the devil's feathers. Drawing a line with his finger from her cheek to her jaw line Aztec marked low and menacing in her ears. "You are not going to move out of my house until I give you the permission." He bent down licking a spot on her neck and kissed it. A knot was felt in Alexa's belly overwhelmed with desire by Aztec's blunt gesture at the same time she was slowly casing into misery.

Was he going to use me? Oh God! How am I going to escape from this prison of a house?
