Chereads / The Fated Familiar / Chapter 8 - Truths ~Demetri~

Chapter 8 - Truths ~Demetri~

At Luna requested, i followed her. i had to fight everything inside me to keep Keno in check. I couldn't let my instincts hurt Luna, I wouldn't let that happen.

I followed at a safe distance, trying not to let her intoxicating smell drive then animal in me wild.  Suddenly Luna stopped at a door, she opened it never taking her eyes off of the book. She stepped in the room and vanished out of my view.

I took this moment to take a deep breath and try to focus on something else, anything else but the girl just around the corner of the rooms door. 

Once i mostly got my shit together i turned the corner stepping into the room. I notice Luna standing at the edge of her bed, facing away from me, towards the window.

As i stepped deeper in the door there was a rush of wind as the door slammed closed behind me.

Before i could say a word Luna spoke softly, sweetly, but also, dangerously seductive. "Demetri, do you like me?"

A simple question enough, "of course i like you Luna."

"No, Demetri." She said now turning to face me. My heart began to fly as she looked straight at me with them Moon Grey eyes, and Keno began to lose it. She looked at me like she knew something, and she liked it. "I mean, do you really like me?"

As she questioned me the second time she walked across the room, the sweet smell of her hitting me.

"I don't understand." I said trying to stay cool. Trying so hard to fight the very nature of my whole being.

"Oh i think you do," she said now invading all of my senses. I stood still, trying to keep my hands glued to my sides. How could she possibly know, why was she testing me?

"Why do you ask?"

"Oh do you want to play the questions game?" She quipped happily, "ok I'll bite." She said giving me a sexy smirk. " since i clearly did the canto to summon my familiar and he happened to be a werewolf i wanted to do some digging."

She walked over to her bed and picked up the book. Glancing down at it.  "Although very rare for Brujas to take Werewolves as familiars, it is possible. They are considered a gift of Selene, in which in all cases recorded have always involved Werewolves of an Alpha bloodline." She looked up at me but i couldn't respond. I assume she toke my silence as confirmation.

She began to slowly step towards me again "and In return for this gift, the Moon goddess, Selene also gifts the wolf. The love of forever with the Bruja, as is mate."

My eyes grew wide by the second. I couldn't think straight. Lunas mere presence was driving me crazy, and now she knew it. "Luna please," i nearly begged "i can't control-" i started but what she did next caught me off guard.

Luna snapped her fingers and the chair at her desk appeared be hind me. i couldn't stop my body from sitting in a chair as i was lost in her eyes.  She walked up to me stood between my legs, leaning down to whisper in my ear.

"Just 3 questions, They will be all yes and no questions."

I nodded completely submitting to her control. A new feeling, since being the Young Alpha means i don't submit much. But for Luna, i was more then willing.

"What do you want to know?" I whispered, finally finding my voice.

"Are you an alpha" he first question simple enough.

I simply nodded. "My tribe resides not far from here."

"Have you found your mate yet?"

This time my voice hitches, and my heart soars. Keno pawing at my mind, again i nodded.

"Demetri," she started the third question pulling back to look in my eyes. She looked like she was searching them for something. But when they did not produce the answer she wanted she took a deep breath and began again., "am i your mate?" She whispered.

I'm sure my face said it all but i couldn't form any words. I didn't want to put my foot in my mouth and make things worse. I tried to look away from her, but just as i went to turn my head she gently grabbed my chin, forcing me to maintain her gaze.

Releasing my chin she opened the book again back to the passage she was reading once again, "and since the Bruja is a gift to be mated to the Wolf, she Bruja will encumber the same love  which is tied to the mating bond normally found in 2 werewolves.

But it will be to the Bruja to find this love on their own, or forever cursed to roam life, never knowing true love." Ending the sentence and flipped the large book closed again. My eyes were wide with shock and awe. What was she telling me.

"Please, Demetri." She said softly looking deeply into my eyes, i couldn't help but to get lost in the moon like orbs that graced her face. "I've had this weird feeling all day," she kept going. My ears perked up. Hope igniting in me. " I've been feeling this pull between us all day. And after reading all of that, I'm really hoping it not just my imagina-."

I cut her off crashing my lips in to hers. I had heard enough, and even  if i was getting the wrong vibe, it would totally worth the smack I'm sure i would earn.

then it happened, her body surrendered to me. Still standing between my legs, Luna kissed me deeply in return, wrapping her arms around my neck. Gently running her nails across the hair line at the base of my skull.

Keno howled completely losing control, and so did i. I softly pushed Luna backwards standing to my feet. Never breaking our kiss i picked he up off her feet and she instinctually wrapped her legs around my hips.

Dropping Luna backwards on her bed i continued to kiss her slowly, i could feel her heart rate increase every time i touched her. Just then  she broke our kiss, she looked at my breathless.

"You never answered my question," She said glancing away from me but only for a second, "Am i your mate?"

Although we were now laying on her bed making out. Even though she had read the words in her families book. Even though she felt this bond herself, she needed to hear me say it.

And although i knew the truth too, i still braced myself for the worse. I slowly nodded, too afraid of the pain i knew would come with rejection to looker her in her face. Just then she caught my cheeks in her hands. A playful smile playing at her lips.

"Your mine" she whispered gently pulling me back to her, again kissing my lips.
