Claimed by the Alpha: Luna's Awakening novel Chapter 3

Chapter 3

It was impossible for Theo to control himself. His eyes were at half mast when he buried his face in her neck and inhaled her intoxicating scent. He couldn’t wait to make her his, and clawed her clothes, tossing them in a heap to the ground. At the same time he took his jeans off.

She arched her body in his naked chest. A low growl ripped from his throat. Every part of his mate’s body fitted in his like they were made for each other. The connection was undeniable. His beautiful mate had dark hair that streamed on the pillow. Her peachy complexion glowed in the soft moonlight that filtered from the window. Although she was a little thin, she could easily take care of it. She was his queen, and he was going to treat her like one.

She grasped his hair, making him go mad. “Kiss me!” she demanded.

“Yes! I am going to kiss you senseless!” Theo worshiped her body like it should have been, like she deserved. When she arched her hips for him, he knew what she wanted. His lusty little mate. The pull was hard to deny. He claimed her, restraining his wolf not to mark her, which he would do after he announced her as his future Luna. “You are mine, Carmine! Say that,” he growled as he thrusted inside her. She was a virgin and he couldn’t thank the goddess enough.

“I am yours,” she muttered, tears running down her eyes. “Only yours…”

At that, he came hard. He was going to take her back with him right now.

‘Alpha!’ His beta shouted in his mind. ‘Kade’s warriors have attacked us! Where are you?’

‘What the fuck!’ he growled. Gritting his teeth, he got up and wore his jeans. He kissed her again and said, “I will be back for you before the sun rises, little mate. Be safe.” He couldn’t take her to the war zone for the sake of her safety, but he was going to take her with him after he killed Kade’s warriors. He jumped out of the window, shifted and ran into the forest, hating Kade by the second.

Carmine woke up late in the morning, her body sore, but feeling great. Like she had bloomed. Like last night was the most beautiful dream she ever lived in. Like her mate had claimed her. Why was it she wasn’t feeling disgusted about the thought? She removed the blanket and as she got up, soreness jarred between her thighs. “Ah!” She sat down in pain. She looked down at her body, only to find that she was naked. Surprise rippled through her. There was a bloodstain on her thighs. She gasped as she slapped her mouth with her hands. Did Kade claim her last night? Her gaze landed on her shredded clothes. “Gosh!”

On an impulse, she picked up her torn clothes and ran to the bathroom. As she took a bath, she tried to contact Ember about what happened, but Ember wasn’t answering. That worried her as hell. She rubbed herself nicely until her skin was raw.

Her reverie broke when a car pulled into the garage, and she heard voices. “Where is she?” Kade’s loud voice came.

When she came out, wrapped in a towel, she found Kade sitting on her bed with a deep frown. The bed was made, and the air smelled of lavender, which overpowered the scent of arousals. Did Ada take care of it?

Kade cocked his head as he examined her. He sniffed the air. “You smell different.” His expressions darkened as he walked towards her. “Did you have sex with someone?” His question sent her into confusion. He was with her last night, then why was he asking? Something was very wrong.

Horrified, she clenched her fists. “N—no,” she lied, backing a little. He was in front of her in a second. Grabbing her hair, he yanked her head back. Icy fingers of anxiety skittered down her spine and settled like a relentless storm brewing in her mind. “Good, because I am going to claim you now!” He pulled her closer, his eyes flashing golden. Suddenly, a loud nasal voice reached them.

“Kade!”
