Ivonne's POV
Unluckily for him I caught sight of the attractive man, dressed in another of his signature designer shirt and slacks, both from the same brand and in a black color, the same shade as his curls.
Curls I remembered sliding my fingers into and gripping as he fucked me senseless a few nights ago. It seemed he noticed me staring hence he halted, shocking the two men following closely behind him and turned.
His blue eyes immediately clicked on mine as he stared down from the floor above where he was. Despite the distance between us I observed his head tilt to the side and a brow lift in question at my gaze.
For a moment all anger vanished as I got lost in his stare and how attractive he looked. I suddenly had an idea why he had been avoiding me because if he felt the same way I was feeling in terms of attraction, it would be a whole damn difficult task to try and resist the flood of desire.
"Luna?" One of the maids whom I hadn't asked their names yet said my name in a question as she must have wondered why I stood there like a frozen slice of ham.
"Alpha," the entourage behind me choruses as they spotted the reason for my sudden pause.
I on the other hand, continued my walk, turning to the left, I ascended the stairs. I had them following behind as I knew the meeting room was upstairs, nonetheless they didn't expect me to make a divert in the other direction.
"Luna, the meeting room is—" they weren't able to finish their sentence as I strolled toward their Alpha.
"Good day Jarvis, Reed," I bowed slightly in greeting at the two men who were next in authority after the Alpha and Luna. No doubt they were Tobias's closest friends and allies.
"Hello darling," Tobias smirked in greeting as I approached him. "Miss me already?"
"Follow me," I uttered and grabbed his fingers, dragging him with me. "Which of the rooms are free?"
"This one," he informed in an amused tone as he pointed to the closest door on his right.
Not giving any response, I strode ahead with him in tow and kicked the door open with my heel. Thankfully it was unlocked if not my action would have backfired in an embarrassing manner.
"Shut the door," I told and walked further into the room as I released my hold on his hand, my back to him.
He did as told and I whirled to notice him trying to hide a smile at my somewhat angry state as my facial features contorted into a frown and my breathing a bit unsteady. "So tell me love, why are you pissed at me?"
"What's this stuff about being assigned new maids?" I went straight to point and tried to run my fingers through my hair but recalled it was in a tight bun.
"It's comes with being the Luna." He leaned his weight on the door. "I plan to assign more guards to the house and to also accompany you wherever you go."
"I won't be foolish to be angry about you putting extra effort into my needs and safety," I started, reading the message in his eyes.
"Okay, so why are you pissed?" He implored, folding his arms and tilting his head to the side so he could send me a pointed gaze.
"You should have just discussed it with me," I exhaled a breath and rubbed the bridge of my nose. "I thought we agreed to be partners in this."
"We are," he insisted, eying me. "Did I ever say otherwise?"
"You didn't but your actions may have implied it," I argued and covered the space between us. "Aside from agreeing to this deal. As your wife and Luna, we are to discuss matters together don't you think? It's part of our responsibilities to each other. It wouldn't have hurt to inform me beforehand."
"It wouldn't," he agreed to my surprise, blue eyes piercing my brown as his minty breath fanned my cheeks due to our proximity.
"So why didn't you?" I inquired in a scowl.
"Because being in the same space with you," he murmured and snaked his arms around my waist. "For barely minutes would have made me do this."
His palm on my back pushed me his chest. His lips descended on mine in a fiery kiss, his teeth going to bite lightly on my bottom lip, eliciting a gasp and moan from me as he sucked on it.
I instantly gave into the kiss, my tongue darting out to meet his as they danced to a lustful tune of our bodies, the pent up desire of the past few days pouring in as his hand on my back dropped to my grip my ass while my fingers slid up to his chest and squeezed his shirt.
"Fuck," he pulled away, our eyes locked on each other and chest rising and falling. "This is why I've been avoiding you."
He bent his head to reconnect our lips when a male voice said from the door. "She has only three minutes before the meeting commences."
"You can go," he smiled and retreated, his left knuckles rubbing my chin as his vision was still focused on mine. "Before I pin you to this wall and fuck you till you won't be able to walk out of here."
^^^^^^^
"What's all these books?" I questioned as about ten books were placed in front of me on the desk.
I was in a smaller room than I had expected. When I asked one of the maids I was told it was used to hold small meetings like these. It consisted of a long table in the middle with about thirty chairs around it.
Only twenty-one were occupied with ten women on each side of me while I sat at the head of the table. I was used to being in such position, being the previous Luna and all, nonetheless I didn't understand why I was presented with books.
"They are all about our pack history," Laurencia a busty woman with blonde hair, emerald eyes and dressed in a simple black blouse and a brown skirt responded.
"Okay, but why are they this huge?" I had no control over my words as my curiosity got the best of me while I angled my head to peep at them.
"You'll have to think of a way to ask our ancestors that question," a young female who appeared to be about my age range answered in a smile.
She had raven colored hair, blue eyes, a bronzed skin tone, and had a slender figure. She was dressed in a button up chiffon blue shirt tucked into black slacks.
Her whole aura emmited strength and courage. She was observant and quick witted too. I guess those were the qualities that made her chosen as a kindred/street leader regardless of her age and gender.
"Or you can ask the Alpha," she wiggled her brows at me, her eyes playful.
"Stop with the tricks Genevieve," another woman who was of a broad build and the other female kindred/street leader scolded.
"Who's with the map?" Laurencia whom I was beginning to guess was the general female leader asked her fellow pack women.
"Me," a heavily pregnant lady with glowing brown skin and braids answered and bent slightly before stretching to drop a rolled up white paper on the table. "Here it is."
"One of your jobs as the Luna is to know every corner and nook of the pack territory more better than even we the inhabitants," Laurencia informed and there was nothing more I could do than to bob my head, accepting my faith.
