The Wolf King's Luna novel Chapter 5

CATHERINE.

I am frozen at his move.

He didn't even say anything!

I raise my hands to push him away, but all they do is hang limply on his shoulders.

As the man adjusts himself over me, my hands go higher, gripping his neck and pushing him down on me.

Like a drug, I crave his warmth.

Our hands continue to roam each other's bodies, exploring each other.

Whatever thoughts I had towards his behavior are fast disappearing in the onslaught of his kisses.

He moves from my lips and latches onto my neck, nipping at the tender skin, up and down, muttering something.

I strain my ears to catch his words and am shocked at what I hear.

Mate.

He is calling me his mate.

With a strength I didn't know I possessed, I shove him off me, thickly scrambling up the bed away from him.

"What did you say?" I gasp out.

He stares at me in confusion.

"Mate. I said, "mate", you are my mate."

"No, I am not."

"What?"

"I am not your mate."

"What do you mean you are not my mate? Can't you feel the pull?" he demands. "The mate bond?"

"No, I don't. I don't feel anything."

In my defense, my skin was still flushed, and my heart was still racing at the make-out we were having.

"I have a mate," I tell him before I correct myself. "Well, I had one. He rejected me. The point is, I can't be your mate. You must be confused."

He stares at me before getting off the bed.

"You, stay here. You are not allowed to leave this room without my permission," he orders before walking away.

I watch in shock as he walks out and also hear him lock the doors.

I don't even know his name.

DAMON.

"I am not your mate."

Her words keep ringing in my ears like a hammer on an anvil as I stalk through the mansion with no clear destination.

What does that even mean?

She is my mate. I can feel it. My wolf can.

So why the hell is she talking about another mate?

I stop at the front of a set of double doors and I'm not even surprised.

Whenever I encounter a confounding problem that I can't see through, I go to my mother.

Luna Janelle.

At least she is until I find my mate.

Which I have already found.
