Wolf-less Omega Luna novel Chapter 10

Alana's POV

I woke up feeling both antsy and relieved about finally leaving the clinic and back to the pack. Not knowing what to expect coming out made me even more nervous and restless.

Being mated to the Alpha meant one thing for sure —all attention would be on me— which wasn’t a norm on my path. I always kept my head down and maintained a side character role in the pack.

And the bullies…I thought of Britney, my nemesis… Ughh! Shake the thoughts away. I couldn’t.

Axel who had stepped out to handle pack business opened the doors and his masculine scent wafted into my lungs, instantly calming me down. My heart gave a little excited leap and I snapped my head up in his direction.

Axel was hands down the most handsome man I had ever seen.

His rich raven black hair which contrasted his shiny blue eyes, fell over his face to accentuate his striking features. Damn, he was fine!

Well over 6 feet tall, he only needed no more than four strides to get to my side of the room.

“Good morning, Alpha,” I greeted with a smile.

“Good morning, Luna,” he responded sarcastically, stretching his hands and enveloping me in a warm embrace.

We already clicked like peas in a pod.

The scent of lemons and fresh rain that he exuded made me nearly dizzy.

He must have picked the scent of the rain from the downpour that watered the pack grounds this morning.

The hug lingered for a second longer than necessary before I finally pulled away.

Axel was perfection itself and the overwhelming thought of being with him sent a visible shudder through me. And with the way both mated and unmated she-wolves usually laid claim to him, I knew I was in for one hell of a ride.

She-wolves practically drooled over the thought of making pups with Axel alone, even though they never once got a peal of laughter out of him or already had mates.

Even Britney fancied herself as his chosen mate to be since he was still unmated at 28. Would I have to contend with all of that?

“You’re tensed,” He inferred.

“I can’t help it.”

“You have nothing to be worried about, Alana,” concern laced in his voice.

“Yeah.”

“We’ll be moving to our quarters of the main building today…”

“Our?” I cut him short. Did he mean I would live in the same quarters I was made to clean out just days before?

Flashes of my only night there crossed my mind.

The night with Axel was still a blur as I was overwhelmed by his presence and the fast-paced events of that day. Even still, I could still feel his deep, gritty voice on my nape, brushing over my sensitive spot.

I blinked quickly as the same gritty voice cut through me.

“Yes dearest, our.” He said, his voice low-pitched. “As Alpha and Luna of the pack, we are to live together.”

I probably didn’t think this through when I acknowledged our bond.

“I cannot let you remain in the omega quarters. Not after how I found you there,” he added, his eyes flickering back and forth, visibly fighting a fit of rising anger.

“I understand,” I nodded. “It’s just a lot of change to take in at once.”

“We can take things slowly, I promise,” he said as he cupped my face in his hands and planted a kiss on my left cheek, his eyes returning to the calm color of an open ocean. I reacted…no, liquefied.

I was about to respond when a knock came through the door, disrupting our flow. I was slightly irritated but the sight of the intruder made my heart flutter with joy. Lexi.

“I was so damn worried about you, girl,” she said as she ran to hug me tightly. “I thought I lost you,” she said amidst sobs. “Don’t you ever leave me again!”
