His Reluctant Luna novel Chapter 7

The door crashed open revealing a tall figure. He crossed the room in three large steps and came to rest directly in front of me. He was dressed in a tight black t-shirt and black cargo pants. His black boots were caked with mud, and he looked furious.

'My mate!', my wolf sang in happiness while I stared at him in disbelief.

His hand came up to gently stroke my cheek and I felt his lips on my hair as he removed my gag.

"You! You did this to me? " My voice cracked. It was more of a question than a statement.

"Thank God you are safe," he whispered.

I looked up into his eyes, "Who are you?" 

I realized I did not even know his name. He smiled. I noticed he had dimples. My heart skipped a beat.

"I am sorry, we were never properly introduced. I am Lucian Blake of the Crimson Shadow Pack." 

'What a lovely name,' my wolf purred. 

My face was frozen, and I could not take my eyes off him. I had heard of his pack from Emma. There are two kinds of Alphas.

The good news and the bad news, Crimson Shadow was the bad news. To make matters worse, my brother hated them. I did not know the details, but my wolf had chosen the worst possible mate ever. Though he was hot enough to cause a mini-riot among women if he wanted to.

A moment too late, I realized I was panting and tried to breathe normally. I should be introducing myself as well, my brain said.

"I am Alice Anderson, from the Jade moon Pack. Rick Anderson is my brother."

"I know," he replied grimly.

"You know me?" I pretended to be surprised. Though I knew if he came to rescue me, he would have found out everything about me.  

"Why did you kidnap me?" I asked fearfully, though I knew the answer. He reached down and started to turn the handcuffs gently on my bruised wrists.

"Believe me, I didn't get you kidnapped. Though I admit, I did consider it." He said gravely.

Was I supposed to feel good about it?

"Then who?" I choked up a little.

"They were rogues, there have been few incidents of rogues kidnapping unmated females, recently. They usually target omegas. It is the first time they targeted an Alpha. Don't worry, they have been taken care of."

I knew what he meant. He had killed them, or whatever remained of them.

Suddenly, he pulled me into a tight hug and whispered, "I'm so sorry love, you had to go through this," into my hair.

Another guy strolled into the small bedroom. I felt claws on my back where Lucian was holding me, and a growl started to resonate in his chest.

"Calm, down boss, she is safe now." The other guy said.

I tried to break away from the hug, it was all perplexing. He realized my restlessness and released me.

"Wait, what's going on? I was kidnapped by the roughs, and they were talking about killing me, then selling me...."

His face hardened. "Tell me what happened." 

"You didn't kidnap me?" I asked suspiciously.

"I have already said No. "

"Then what are you doing here? How did you find me?" I was still suspicious.

"My people work at that club. One of the Omegas saw you leaving and informed me. We tracked the van to rescue you because that brother of yours is extremely irresponsible. How could he let you venture outside without protection?"

He looked angry.

"Sorry? What do you mean? I am an adult wolf, perfectly capable of looking after myself. You have no right to interfere in my life. Thanks a lot for rescuing me. But it does not give you any right to question my or my brother's decision. It's none of your business."

I could sense him seething in anger. Perhaps, I said too much.

"You......your safety.... your entire existence is my business darling because you are my mate. Will you deny that as well?" He smirked.

'Damm those eyes,' I cursed myself internally.
