Everyone stopped as they felt the mood change.
"What the hell Cole." Zeke tried to step infront of me but Cole tossed him to the side.
"Enough Zeke this is between Liza and I." Cole took a step towards me and lunged. I used my speed and dodged it kicking his back just as he passed sending him to the ground.
"My king May I ask what this is about? Unless you always are this competitive in capture the flag." Cole got back up on his feet and snarled his teeth at me.
"I saw." I don't know what he meant by that but it was enough to send a shiver down my spine and have me frozen in my thoughts. Cole used this to his advantage and pinned me down to the ground.
"Show them to me!" He tried using his alpha command. I did everything in my power to look away.
"I don't know what you're talking about my king?" I tried my best to get out without showing him that my confidence was wavering. Cole got down until he was inches away from my face.
"Your eyes. Please show me you eyes"
His voice went from demanding to almost pleading. I turned my face so that it was looking directly back at him and for once I was finally able to see behind the mask that he had been showing me since I came back. I thought that he was just full of hate and anger but seeing him now I see he is just as broken and sad as the rest of them. He is looking to see a connection in me like the rest.
I wanted to comfort my mate. I wanted to show him that everything would be ok but I knew what Selene had said and I couldn't put them in danger like that so I would have to lie.
I reached my hand up and touched his face.
"I can show you my eyes if that is what you desire my king, but at the end of the day no matter how many similarities you might see I am not her."
Those words seemed to hit deep because his whole body relaxed and he just rested his forehead onto mine letting his tears fall.
"But you are so similar. You have to my second chance mate or something. She must have sent you here for us some how."
I leaned up and ran my finger through his hair. "Let's go back to your room I think I know what you need."
He pulled away and furrowed his eyebrows but before he could say anything in protest I also added "and no not for anything sexual but for some privacy. You are acquiring and audience my king." At that moment Cole looked up and saw people heading towards him curious about his recent outburst on me. He took in the surrounding and the situation before nodding and help me up.
"Great game everyone. We will try this again next time. If you excuse us I need the Kong's help with a personal matter." At first everyone looked nervous. Not for the king but for me. I didn't realize until now how much they were attaching themselves to this body.
"It's because you're still you. They can feel the Luna aura which gives them the motherly comfort and safety feeing." Lilly replied to my question in my head. It made sense. A Luna was suppose to be the mother of the pack. So it explains that people are looking for someone to take the pain away. I continued walking all the way until I made it to Coles office. I took a seat on his couch and watched him close the door.
"Why did you want to come here." He said with his back turned to me. He needed to release some of his stress.
"Come here." I looked at him and patted the seat next to me. I expected a protest. Even expected him to yell at me for giving an Alpha a command but to my surprise he did neither. He came and sat next to me without a word.
I grabbed his arm and pulled him closer guiding his body so his head was in my lap. I laced my fingers with his hair and began combing through it.
"Tell me about her." I felt his body tense and then relax as he closed his eyes.
" she was stubborn and loud. She had a habit of waking up before the sun. She always let the kids spoil their supper, and don't get be started at her temper."
Cole pauses and sighed for awhile. I was expecting something sweet not all the things that bothered him.
I remained silent and continued playing with his hair running my hands down to his shoulders as well.
"She was my world. Her laugh lit up the room and she was the most beautiful creature that ever existed. She could get people to listen and I mean really listen."
"The people listen to you my king."
Cole just let out a soft laugh.
"People listen to me out of fear. Alpha King Cole, heartless warrior. She got people to listen not from fear. She got them to listen because they believed in her. They believed that as long as she was there that everything would be ok. The world would continue to rotate. And her scent. She smelt like fruit and honey. "
I tried to hold back my tears. "Sounds like you guys were meant for eachother."
"Yea. I didn't always think so. I never knew the gift the Moon Goddess gave me until my spoiled childish self lost it. By some miracle she came back to me and I promised myself I would make it up to her every day. I just wish I could have kept my promise."
I looked down and saw a tear fall down his face and I couldn't help myself. I bent down and kissed his forehead.
"I know you did. I heard of the life you gave her. I heard the stories of the hopeless romantic you were. If you feel you haven't made it up to her yet then continue it by being there for your kids. They miss their father. The people are missing their king, anyone that truly looks at you can see you have become a shell of a man. It will never go away but you will be able to live with it better as time goes on." Cole sat up and press his forehead on mine.
"Why does everything about you remind me of her? Why does my heart hurt less when you are around?" He pulled back to look me in the eyes before his lips came crashing down.
His kisses have always been different from Zekes. He was a man that wanted control and would show you who was In charge. Cole layed me back down on the couch without breaking the kiss and I could feel his hands begin to roam. He reached up my shirt and made sure to have a tight grip on the side of my stomach.
Any idea of what a bad idea this was went out the window when he worked his way up to my breast and began playing with my nipple. Mate bond or not I felt them harden under his touch. I leaned forward to deepen the kiss but in a split second he grabbed my throat and pushed me back onto the bed.
"Be a good girl my moon" I smiled at him because I always loved how assertive he was.
"This is a nice top." He said while nipping at my neck but before I could reply he ripped all the way down leaving my chest completely exposed.
"You are beautiful" he moaned before taking one of my nipples in his mouth. I let out a moan as I felt I was being driven to ecstasy. He moved his kisses down my body but continued rubbing with my nipples with his fingers so they wouldn't get lonely. I really like these workout pants so before he even made his way down there I lifted my hips so he could slide them off with ease.
"Ahhh you're no fun Liza." Of course he completely ignored my actions and ripped my yogas with ease.
A moan escaped my lips again when his tongue began swirling my core it felt amazing. If he kept like this I was going to climax.
He looked up at me a gave me a cocky seductive smile "I have barley began baby. You are so wet. You need to be a good girl and not come until I tell you to."
He replied back to my core that had been begging for him to return since he pulled away which he did with more aggression causing me to bite my lip back doing everything in my power to follow his command.
I started think about all the times we were together how his touch felt like a drug. Nothing I had ever experienced before except for with Zeke. It was weird having sex with him without the mate bond. I felt like this is what all the other girls felt like when they were with him.
I felt like Veronica.
"Ahhh fuck" was all I could yell when his manhood entered me without warning. It took me by surprised but once I got used to his size it felt amazing. His hips began moving vigorously giving no time to build up to a climax. I was there and I felt like if he didn't let me cum soon I was going to combust.
He leaned down and began nipping at my neck.
"You are such a good girl. Cum for me" that was all I needed before I unraveled in his arms in a state of delirium. By the time I came down Cole was also pulling out of me panting.
"Thank you."
Thank you was all he said before he got up and got dressed leaving me on the couch naked.
I felt used.
I felt disgusted.
If I had the mate bond I would know he was mine but right now I felt as though I was nothing.
Maybe to him that's exactly what I was. I fought back the tears burning to reach the surface as I stood up and headed to Coles side drawer. I knew he used to keep spare clothes in there in case of emergencies and since he just shredded mine and dined and dashed this should count as an emergency. I pulled his ball shorts up and grabbed and oversized T-shirt. I wanted to get the hell out of here and shower. I opened the door and almost made it undetected when I heard a voice stop me.
"Please tell me you didn't fuck him" I turned to see Zeke appearing from the shadows. He looked hurt.
"I..I..." what could I say. Yes I let him fuck me senselessly i felt like a slut. It was different being connected to both of them but now I just feel like every girl I have ever hated.
Based on my pause Zeke got his answer and he let out a growl before storming off.
"He is always taking what mine."
I may have been sent back to make them fall I love with me but at this moment I think I just made them hate me even more.
Zeke Pov:
Capture the flag didn't turn out as planned. The. Again if Cole has to do with it most things don't. I followed his and Liza back to his office and listened. My heart felt like it was going to burst when he talked about our Rose.
My rose.
I was going to leave when I heard moaning. My heart dropped. I had been honest with Cole about everything including my relationship with Liza. I told him that I wanted her to be my chosen mate even if this meant we were no longer connected by our mate.my wolf has been searching for a connection in her since we met but her walls have been up. I told him that The moon goddess sent her to us to help us heal. After months of fighting with him and him giving her the cold shoulder he what? Decides he can fuck her protective walls down?
I could take hearing this anymore but just as I was about to turn away I hear him say" be a good girl my moon." To Liza these are just word but to me I knew what they meant. Rose was his moon and she was my sun. She would get up before the sun every morning to watch the sunrise with me and she would make sure to watch every sunset with Cole until the stars and moon were shining brightly. So this was his plan. Take Liza way from me just like Rose.
I waited outside lizas room and after some time is see her making her way here in his clothes. She was about to open the door when I stopped her.
"Please tell me you didn't fuck him" I wanted her to tell me it's not what I heard that it was a mistake. I would've taken anything but instead all I got was
"I...I..." I couldn't take seeing her face right now. I knew my real problem was with Cole. I stormed to the balcony of Roses secret library where I knew he would be standing.
"What the hell Cole." I growled at him.
"I know I'm sorry."
"I should've never trusted you. You only care about yourself. First you took rose away from me now you try to take Liza." I didn't mean to say it out loud but I couldn't take it back once the words escaped.
"Our wife! My wife! Was murdered and not by me if I might add."
I laughed at him " oh yes because it was my ex girlfriend that tried to kill her and her crazy sister that actually did."
Cole was furious he tried to swing but I dodged it.
"If I remember that crazy ducking sister was your former mate so maybe if you hadn't rejected your mate then this wouldn't have happened." I instantly stopped whatever attack I was planning next.
Was he right? Apart of me always blamed him for roses death because he didn't accept her right away but what if I never rejected Lori? Who was really to blame here.
"Remember why I sent you out of the country Zeke." How could I forget he had been sending me on longer business meeting these days and for some reason they were becoming more frequent. Something was about to happen but he hasn't clued me In as to what.
"Yes I know why you sent me. To assess the security and safety of the wolf princess of England Nadia ." I waited for Cole to say something else but he just nodded. He was Always treating me as a little brother even though we didn't get along when we met.
I knew that was his way of saying this conversation was over. So I turned to leave.
"Do you love her?" He asked still facing the outdoors. It took me by surprise talking about this with him.
"I think I might, yes I think I do." I responded. It was the first time saying it out loud but for some reason which I can't explain it felt right.
"They same way you loved Rose?" He replied.
I didn't waste a second "no, I will never love anyone the way I love rose but just because it's different doesn't mean it can't be beautiful." He nodded.
"If it came down to it would you chose love or your duty."
What a weird question " rose taught us that if we did our duty right we would never have to choose. But the she also said the love for our people is just as important as the love for her and our kids. So I will tell you that my duty comes from my love. It comes from violets laugh and Coltons eyes. It comes from Cedrics curiosity and it comes from roses heart."
Cole turned and looked at me with the most lifeless expression I have seen him give in awhile" would you do what it takes to keep the pack safe?"
"Of course" I was an alpha and the packs safety was important.
"Nadia will be here In two weeks where I will announce our engagement." I was dumbfounded he barley spoke to the woman let alone gone to see her.
"You are getting married?" I asked him confused.
Cole took a step towards me "correction WE are getting married."
In my mind I could feel my wolf get uneasy. What the fuck just happened.
