Luna On The Run!

Luna Ariel’s POV still

She’s human, but I don’t know what it is about her that attracts me so much.

Clarita James is her name, and she caught her husband red-handed with his secretary when she wanted to surprise him with lunch.

She has been in a relationship with Matt since she was 18 and they have been married for three years. He has always taken care of her, even though she holds a degree in business. And she confessed that she was happy in their relationship, felt fulfilled in her role as a homemaker. Doing the housework, cooking great meals and advising her husband on his business was all she wanted out of life.

To me, that sounds like the perfect Luna alongside a strong Alpha, but to humans, she would be a complete loser. We werewolves don’t really believe in feminism, she-wolves are owned by their mate and we have no problem with that. We are supposed to be protected by them, we are part of a pack.

Getting involved with strangers is totally risky, but my instincts assure me that Clarita is safe. We are both lost in this big world but for different reasons. And yet I suspect that the Moon Goddess has brought her into my life for a reason.

“Where do you live, Clarita? Would you like me to take you home?” She shakes her head furiously.

“I never want to go there again. I feel so humiliated. But I have nowhere to go. My parents died in a car accident while on holiday in Asia, and I was an only child,” she says sadly. “I gave their estate to Matt to invest in his business. I have nothing left. No house, no family.” And again I see her eyes water and her shoulders slump in defeat.

“Hey, Clarita, do you really think we met by chance? I believe that faith brought us together. I just don’t know what the plan is,” I tell her in comfort. And then I know what I have to do. “Why don’t you come with me? I’m currently in a hotel. You can stay there until you figure out what you want or where you want to go,’ I offer.

Hearing my offer, she looks up.

“You don’t know me, Ariel. Why are you taking me to your room? I could be a murderer and kill you in your sleep,” she asks incredulously. I laugh to myself, a human thinking it’s so easy to kill a werewolf. If only she knew.

“No, I go by my instincts. Though our circumstances are different, I think we could both use a little distraction from our problems. We both need a companion in our lives right now.” Her mood picked up, at least her eyes had lost their desperate glow.

“I have no clothes and no money. Nothing more than what’s in my handbag. Can I borrow some of your clothes? We are about the same size”. I took her hand and we walked back to the hotel. At the reception, I report that I have a guest and pay the extra charge.

Now that I have a roommate, I have to organize my belongings in my room. I offered Clarita the extra bed and put my bag in the wardrobe. “Why don’t you take a hot bath? It will do for you,” I suggest to my new friend. “Take your time.”

She smiles gratefully and disappears into the bathroom. I took a dress I bought in the shop today out of a bag and lay it out for Clarita. We’ll have to go shopping tomorrow, I don’t have any more clothes of my own, I realize now. I left Midnight Moon panicked, didn’t have time to get my things from my room. I wanted to leave as quickly as possible.This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Then I go back to the balcony, the panorama lifts my spirits. Having heard Clarita’s story, I realize that my problems are not the worst of all. Gorgio would never cheat on me, not only because of the bond we share as mates but also because he simply loves me as a mate and a wolf. We are deeply connected, we live for each other, we are one and indivisible. I have no doubt about that. There is no place in my life for another, even if he is my second mate.

Clarita emerges from the bathroom an entirely different person.

Her face is now radiant and her pleasant personality radiates more than ever. I smiled as I watched her, she was wearing a hotel bathrobe. “You don’t mind me borrowing one, do you? There were two, so there’s one left for you”. She waits for my response, I shake my head and point to the gown I have laid out on her bed.

Then I get into the bath myself. I make the water in the bathtub a little warmer than I am used to.

As I step in, I can hardly suppress a grunt of pleasure. I tie up my hair, slide under the water up to my neck and close my eyes. My body relaxes, it is precisely what I needed. All the stress floods away.

But then all sorts of images appear on my retina. Gorgio and I are on the bed, making sweet love, taking our time to explore each other’s bodies. He kisses my back tenderly while his hands caress my tits. His lips moved down to my butt.

Then suddenly two more hands appear, burying themselves in my hair, gently pulling my head up. Lips traverse my face, kissing my forehead, cheeks and nose. But as they move down to take over my mouth, Gorgio grabs the person’s head and pulls it away from me. That’s when I get a good look at the face. Alpha Zane!

Horrified, I let out a stifled scream. My eyes jerked open.

“No!” I whisper. “Never! I will never betray Gorgio.”

‘But he is also our mate, Ariel,’ I hear Era remind me.

I feel so deserted at the moment. Era doesn’t seem to be on my side either, my father thinks Alpha Zane has a right to me too. Only the one I deceived with my feelings for that damn Alpha still believes in me.

Gorgio! My heart.

And he does not disappoint me…
