Chapter 17 Luna Aquamarine's POV A hand grasped my chin , lifting my face upward . I blinked , my eyes shifting from the gate to a pair of golden eyes staring at me . I blinked multiple times before I realised it was Alexander . 1400 " Answer me , Aquamarine , " he said , his voic voice lo low yet commanding . " What ? " I stammered , my gaze darting between Alexander and gate . 47 " What are you planning ? " Alexander's eyes narrowed slightly as he studied my face . . " N - nothing , " I stammered . UP Alexander's grip on my chin tightened , he looked back at the gate and then looked back at me . " I'll have you know that you can't escape me , " he said , staring at my chest like the pervert he is . I felt a gentle tug on my arm . Beside me , Kath , stood wide - eyed , staring at Alexander . I pulled her behind me and cleared my throat . " Ly- " I paused and moistened my lips . " Primus Alexander , Juliet was taking Katherine and I on a tour as you suggested- "" " Juliet , take Katherine to her chambers . " Alexander cut me off . " I'd like to believe you fed the Luna properly . " He asked . Fear gripped me . I turned back , surprised to see Juliet standing behind me even though she had excused herself earlier . But she plainly avoided my gaze . " She refused to eat until Katherine was present . But I suppose she's fine to eat now . " Juliet replied and my heart broke . I expected her to lie to him . But it was stupid of me to believe she would lie to Alexander just to support someone she barely knows . Alexander's jaw clenched as he watched me . " Juliet , " he said , " have food sent to my study . We'll dine there . " Juliet nodded and walked away , dragging Katherine along with her . Alexander wrapped his hand around my waist , holding tight as he led me back inside his castle . As we walked , my mind was far gone . I looked back . Back at the gate , but there was no one there . It was almost like nobody was ever there . After numerous flights of stairs that led to another part of his castle . Alexander finally pushed open a metal door and I stepped inside , my eyes darting the room . It smelt of old papers and dust . When we entered the study , the door slammed shut behind us and Alexander guided me toward a round table . His hand tracing the naked area of my back , sending a shiver down my spine . Alexander's eyes met mine and I felt like drowning in his . Even though I tried to avoid his gaze , he held me tight " Time to put you to good use , " he said huskily and I swallowed hard . He couldn't possibly be thinking about sex after his animalistic behaviour last night , could he ? He stood close , his chest touching mine as his hand traced the outline of my neck up to my lips . I felt a spark at his touch , My wolf whined within me as he leaned forward . I moistened my lips and I closed my eyes Then I felt something poke my stomach . He was hard and I was already feeling wet " Open and read it ," he commanded , his hot breath whispering against my ear . My eyes flew open and I blinked He raised something up . That thing that was once poking my stomach was now lifting my chin 1/3 Chapter 17 I raised my brow up at him . Is he serious ? It wasn't about sex , after all . After making my wolf cry Life TIME for him . " Your reward comes after this , " he said , sitting down and pulling me down to sit on his lap . " If you do well . " I stood up , " I'm not interested in what you have to offer ." I lied , my voice was barely above a whisper . " Tell that to your wolf . " The corner of his lips lifted to a smirk and he closed his eyes . " Now , read . " L HH I felt heat rise to my cheek and I bit my lips . I stared at the thing in my hand . A dusty old scroll with weird engravings on it . How does he expect me to open a sealed scroll ? I pulled on the seal , tugging it gently at first . But when it didn't work , I pulled on it some more . " Don't you know how to open it ? " he suddenly asked . " No , " I replied . " How would I be able to open something from your pack ? " T My fingers traced the weird symbols on the body of the seal . At a glance , it's quite obvious that a normal person can't open it . Can't he see that ? Or is this a test or something ? What about someone from your old pack ? Katherine ? " he asked . I shook my head . I doubt Katherine knows . I doubt anyone in my pack knows anything . We didn't have rare things like these . " The inscriptions are not like ours ." I studied the pattern , then something popped into my mind . " Your witches could help with magic ." His eyebrows twitched and I sensed something off about his mood instantly . " You hate witches too don't you ? " I asked slowly , but he didn't reply , he just stared at the scroll and at me . " But don't you have one in your castle ? " His brows creased . It could only mean that…… he doesn't know about Juliet . But that doesn't make sense , not with everything I've witnessed since I met him . " But the purple fire that day ? Wasn't it magic ? By a witch ? " I asked . " No , it's just fire , " he waved it off . " Lies . This was different , it didn't burn . It was cold against my skin . Just like- " I paused , trying to think of a better way to describe it . " It was like ice . Purple flaming Ice ." " Beautiful wasn't it . " He grinned , looking up for a moment then his eyes came down to face me . " But it's still not magic . " I groaned , why can't he just admit it ? " What about those vines that attacked us twice ? " " It's just a vine wielder , " he replied . My eyes widened in shock and I gasped . " Vine wielders ? I thought they were myths ." Alexander raised an eyebrow , " Of course not . Weren't you taught about tales of mystic creatures in your pack ? " " I wasn't particularly allowed to gatherings . " I murmured , remembering how badly I was treated in my old pack . " Although , I managed to sneak in during sessions ." Alexander hummed , " What other beings do you know aside from werewolves ? " " I've heard tales about Demons … Nightwalkers " " Nightwalkers ? " he asked , his brows creased as he stared at me I could tell he didn't know about them Soo much for being legendary I cleared my throat , pushed my chest out and continued " You know those beings that flee from the sunlight and suck on people's bi " They are called Vampires , Aquamarine . " He cut me off and sighed . " You know nothing about the world you live in . " 2/3 Chapter 17 That was true . But I was curious to know more about other beings , especially after meeting him and coming here . That vine , the face , the voice . It was still stuck in my head . It knew Alexander , but he didn't seem to care . Suddenly , I felt him grab my hand . I gasped as he pulled me down to his body , my breasts resting against his chest and my legs in between him . I felt his bulge underneath me , for real this time . But amidst the growing arousal I couldn't help but wonder why he was trying to distract me from asking more questions ? As his hand traced the curve of my bare back , he stared at me and I shivered in his touch - but not because of my wolf . His aura , it had shifted again . " So Aquamarine , I'll give you the grace to choose your punishment . " " Punishment ? For what ? " I was confused . For not opening the scroll . " he muttered , burying his face in between my breasts . " B - but you saw for yourself that I couldn't- " . " Rogiara would suit you and Katherine best . " he pulled back , grabbed a fistful of my hair and sniffed it before staring at me with his glowing eyes half closed . " Don't you think so ? " Rogiara . It sounded soo familiar but I couldn't quite put a finger on it . There was a sudden knock on the door , " Primus Alexander , Elder Esmeralda seeks your attention . " Alexander pulled me up and walked towards the door . He stopped at the half - opened door . " And Aquamarine , you have I weck to find a way to open that scroll or else I swear by the Moon Goddess that you'll seek death but it will be far away from you . " My eyes went wide and my jaw went slack . 3/3
