Chapter 15 Primus Alexander's POV Finally , after decades of searching . My mate is here with me . The one who would bear my child , my heir . My eyes gazed over her features . Snow white hair and white skin . Those white eyes that made it seem like she was staring past one's soul . But why did she possess such unusual traits ? Soo unreal , soo different . My fingers ran through her silky , thick hair and I leaned forward to sniff it . The scent was intoxicating - like fresh snow mixed with something wild and ancient that I couldn't quite place . But it didn't matter . What mattered was that she would give me what I desired , as the Moon Goddess claimed . The corner of my lips curved into a smirk and I leaned in closer and moved some strands away from her face . Her skin felt like satin beneath my calloused fingertips , unnervingly soft against the roughness I had cultivated through centuries of battle . " When would you stop pretending to sleep ? " I asked and her body instantly stiffened . I felt her heart race and her body grow warm . The sound of her quickened pulse was like music within my ears . " Open your eyes , " I ordered , my fingers brushing against her eyelid . Her eyes fluttered open , revealing those piercing white orbs , For a moment , we just stared at each other . I saw first - hand the change in her eyes as she swallowed hard . Staring up at me with those white eyes that threatened to drive me mad with need . My body grew hot at the sight , my blood flowing down to my dick . Her lips parted a little and she slowly shrank back from me . I reached for her waist and pulled her thick softness against my hard dick . The contact sent electricity through my veins , awakening every nerve ending . There were several sparks in my head as I stared into her pleading orbs . I was still angry at her for soo many reasons , but at least she paid for it She felt the burn . She felt the pain . Raw and Poisonous She must have thought I'd let it slide , but forgiveness isn't what got me to this point . It was good . I made her realize that only I could stop the pain she and her wolf felt . Only I had the power to take control of everything and not the other way around . I wanted to take all of her every single inchi and give her what I could I needed her badly , since the day I saved her from that weakling till this very moment And now , the fear in her eyes turned me on She looked so small so fragile , so vulnerable and yet so desirable But I know there was more to her than it meets the eye I could smell her sudden change moments after she bit me After all she's still alive after tasting my blood Most wouldn't survive even a drop - their bodies convulsing in agony as theu organs failed one by one 1/3 Chapter 15 Yet here she was , weakened but breathing , her heart strong and steady . She has no idea about the plans I have for her . But just like the others , she would take me . All of me , every single inch , till she could take no more . I would make sure of that . My fingertips grazed her nape , particularly where I had marked her last night . She closed her eyes and winced at the touch . I leaned in , my tongue grazed her nape , and she shivered slightly . This should soothe her . For a moment , she relaxed , her eyes fluttering closed as she released a breath . Then a low moan followed . Take her . Take her . Take her . My wolf growled in agreement , pushing against my consciousness , demanding to claim what was ours . " Lycan Alexander , " a voice called from outside . " What is it ? " I barked , not turning to face the door . My eyes remained on Aquamarine , savouring the sight of her flushed cheeks and trembling lips . " The Order awaits your presence . " The voice echoed . 1 cursed under my breath before slowly pulling away from Aquamarine . The loss of contact was almost painful , like tearing away a part of myself . It was almost like the beast within me was raging . Those guards must have called him after I ignored them 5 times already . I stood up from the bed and I saw the blood on the sheets . A small smile formed on my lips . Mine to start . Mine to finish . I walked to the washroom and took a long - needed shower . When I came out , Aquamarine was already sitting at the edge of the bed . The bedsheets wrapped over her body and her knees trembled as she tried to stand . ! smirked , last night was undoubtedly the best I've had . But i knew I had gone overboard . Too extreme that I thought I had killed her . " You should rest today , a maid will come over soon . " I walked up to her to prevent her from tripping . " Don't try anything stupid while I'm gone , it won't work . " She looked away , nodded and slumped back into the bed . I dressed in comfortable clothes , then opened the door to find Levi waiting outside . His arms were crossed , and his brows creased slightly , but he didn't say anything as I approached " Esmeralda would kill you . you know , " Levi started . You set a new record , it's almost noon " " Almost ? I was aiming for sunset ," I nodded . " Have you gotten the supplies ? Levi nodded and dangled his pouch for me to see . The small leather bag clinked with the promise of answers - answers I had been seeking for far too long . " The Order might not take this seriously , Levi voiced out I grunted , my dislike for the Order evident on my face Levi shot me a sideways glance , but I just shrugged He knew me well enough to understand my thoughts without words Three centuries of friendship had that effect 2/3 Chapter 15 I knew this meeting wasn't going to go well . I didn't trust The Order , and I certainly didn't like their bossy attitude . We went down flights of stairs to a big hall not quite far from my Palace . Inside , several members of The Order were seated around a large table . The air felt heavy with tension and unspoken accusations , thick enough to cut with a blade . Esmeralda rose from her seat as we approached and others followed . Bowing their heads as we approached . Aged men and women with absolutely nothing to offer . " Primus Alexander , " Esmeralda said , her voice dripping with sweetness . " Thank you for joining at your given time ." I took a seat beside Levi , my arms crossed . " Let's not waste time with pleasantries , " I muttered . The chair creaked under my weight as I leaned back , studying each face around the table . " Let's begin , " Levi said , his voice steady and diplomatic where mine was not . " Your recent journey to the Moonstone pack brought back something unexpected . " Esmeralda said , " Aquamarine- " " Luna Aquamarine . " I corrected , cutting her off . My voice dropped an octave , a warning that didn't go unnoticed . " I'd like to believe that you all got the memo after yesterday's events . There is nothing more to discuss about that . " The room fell silent . Even Esmeralda , with all her years and supposed wisdom , knew better than to challenge me when my tone took that edge . " Will she be able to b- " I shot Griffin a look and he stopped just at the right moment . " Definitely ," I said . " But first we have something more important to address . " I turned to Levi and with a nod . He stood and emptied the contents of his pouch on the table . The items clattered against the wooden surface , drawing gasps from several Order members . Levi spoke up , " Artifacts , relics , magical tools and even a sealed scroll . Things that shouldn't be with a pack as small as the Moonstone pack . " " Only if there is someone sharing these things with them , " I said . My gaze travelled slowly around the table , studying each face for any sign of guilt . " Someone who wants to see me - us - fail . " The artifacts glimmered under the dim light of the hall - ancient symbols etched onto metal surfaces , runes that hadn't been seen in centuries , and a scroll sealed with wax bearing a mark I hadn't seen since the Great War . Esmeralda's face paled as she reached for one of the smaller items . A pendant with a chirped moon wrapped in flames . " This is …. impossible " " Is it ? " I challenged , leaning forward . " Or is someone in this very room playing a dangerous game ? " " Yet you brought her here ? Someone from the Moonstone pack ? " Esmeralda's eyes flashed with accusation : " What if she's the one ? What if your mate is their puppet ? " My wolf surged forward , rage burning through my veins at the mere suggestion . But the rational part of me paused I have seen the fear in Aquamarine's eyes when we first met . Same way , I have seen her anger and determination I leaned back in my chair , " If she is , " I said , each word measured and deadly , then I will tear out her heart myself " 3/3
