"I'll be back," I said and without looking back at her hurt expression or hot body, I stepped out of the room and pressed my back against the door for a few seconds before walking away.
I feel bad about leaving her hanging and aroused but I couldn't bring myself to have sex with her.
First sex between mates signifies sealing of mate bond which would require the male wolf to mark his mate by biting her neck and leaving a scar.
Firstly, I haven't told her about the things she would have to give up if she stays with me, I haven't even given her a chance to reject me and leave even though I would be the only one affected since she's human, I haven't even hinted the danger and responsibilities that accompany being the Luna of a werewolf pack especially my pack which is one of the most dangerous packs in the world.
I haven't explained to her what it takes to be a werewolf mate, living with werewolves and what we do.
She knows literally nothing about us, about me, so marking her would be cheating and inconsiderate on my side and the last thing I want is to make her stay against her will, to force her into this and bind her to me.
Walking downstairs to get water to quench my parched throat and calm my body, I saw Claire pacing the passage in front of my office.
"What's going on?" I questioned immediately I got close enough for her to notice me
"Nothing," she said as she raised her eyebrows and gave me a weird smile
"And why are you giving me that face?" I questioned with a curious face as I made my way to open my office door
"You smell too much like her," she said stressing on 'too' and giving me a teasing expression
"And?" I said trying not to smile at her weird face
"Did you guys later do it?!" she exclaimed and I had to cover her mouth as I feared she might wake the people around us
"Excuse me, young miss, why would you even think that? Now go back to your room and sleep" I said with a serious tone while trying not to smile and that made her not take me serious
"I knew it, she doesn't hate you, she's just trying to be a hard head, it's not like she can fight the mate bond, she's just a weak human who got mated to one of the strongest Alpha that has ever lived!" She said giggling and I could help but feel good, I don't know why but her saying those words made me happy and giddy
"We didn't do it," I said as I sit on the sofa and rest my head on the headrest
"What?" she asked looking confused
"Claire, were you ever rude to Layla today?" I questioned as I remembered Layla telling me she was rude even though she later told me she wasn't, she might just be trying to protect her or something
"Rude? Of course not, she is the super rude one" she said as she took her seat beside me "in fact I think it would be pleasing to your ears to know she scolded the pack members that were around today all because they were staring at her" she said with a smile
"What?" I asked surprised
"Yup, she's one hell of a character, she reminds me of mom at a point, she has just as much of a bad mouth as her, she's almost like her reincarnation," she said smiling and I couldn't help but return it, reminding Claire about our late mother in a good way is just the best thing to hear.
I wouldn't deny it anymore, I am smitten by that little spitfire
"Why were you in front of my office?" I asked looking into her eyes
I know and love my sister when she's staring at you in the eyes without blinking but then she's touching her fingertips together, it's either she's lying or she's disturbed and that was exactly what she was doing when she told me 'nothing' the other time
"Damien, I think I may have scared her a little bit this afternoon," she said and I got slightly furious
"I thought you said you weren't rude, you know I hate lies!" I said standing up and towering over her
"Would you calm the fuck down! I didn't lie, I wasn't rude to her all I did was tell her she can't leave the pack borders since she's practically in danger and that got her very pissed off!" she said and that made me super furious
"Claire! What the fuck did I tell you about saying things to her?" I asked seething, if she weren't my sister, I would have pounced on her by now
"You said to avoid saying things you haven't said before which is literally nothing," she said cowering in fear
Claire was my only weakness before Layla came into the picture. I don't allow her out of the pack perimeters even though she can protect herself as much as I can protect her and that's because she's most vulnerable to danger since she's the only female I'm connected to.
She loves and cares for me and has always wanted to know my mate ever since she knows what a mate is.
I have tried my best to make sure she doesn't miss our parents and our brother ever since they all left us.
A part of me always wish she wouldn't find her mate early just like me so she would stay with me for a very long time
So seeing her teary eyes, I couldn't help but crouch to her level and hug her tightly
"Hey, don't be a cry baby," I said hushing her to stop whatever tear she wants to let out
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare her, she wanted to go out after I told her you went out to the neighboring pack and I didn't know what to do so I had to tell her the truth," she said sniffing and I just held her in my arms
"Aww, sorry darling, I'm sorry for scaring you, I'm truly sorry, I understand you so can you please not cry," I said cooing in her ears
"Okay," she said after a while of me whispering sweet nothings into her ears and trying to calm her down.
"I think I have to go see her now, she didn't tell me anything about that but I got a feeling she was not happy with me," I said standing up and straightening my shirt which I noticed had been stained with a little tear
"Well your mixed scent is kinda saying otherwise," she said with a smile I gladly reciprocate
"Can you please not talk about that anymore?" I said smiling
"Why? Is it a tease to you or what?" she said and I had no choice but to drag her up and shuffle her out of the room
"Common be gentle, I'm a lady remember!" she said laughing and struggling to get out of my hold
"Go and sleep, it's late already," I said when I finally got her out of my office
"Are you coming home tonight?" she asked smiling and I know she wants to tease me
She was aware that I entered the house late last night and she wouldn't stop teasing me all morning about it so as a promise to make her stop, she would come to keep Layla company today.
"Just go home," I said before closing the door in her face
The door is super soundproof but being a werewolf I could still hear her muffled scream about me not being a gentleman and me being rude before she walked away.
I couldn't help but wonder how the fuck I'm going to cope with two strong women in my life.
But before musing about how I'm going to live my life with two women I decide to go see Layla and clear some of our differences.
