Accidentally Became Luna

ABL 23: If You Kiss Me...

Miall

Per my mother's instructions, Malakhi and I waited downstairs for the girls. It took them forever to get ready, and I started to get bored. Malakhi seemed excited despite stuffing himself with Amanah's fruits.

We both sat on the island tools, watching Malakhi choose and pick which fruit he would shove in his mouth.

"Do you really want to go through it again with Amanah?" I asked as I leaned against my fist, watching him peel an orange, as she called it. It was orange in colour, which was not very creative of her people.

"Huh, what do you mean?" He asked with his mouth full, and I shook my head.

"You're eating her fruits again," I pointed out, and he looked at his hand, shrugging.

"So?" He questioned, biting into the orange without separating the segments as Amanah did; what kind of animal was he?

"You really don't care, or are you hoping she doesn't notice?" I asked, amused, as I got up and stretched my arms over my head, I was itching for a run, but Orion was still on a no-talk to Miall holiday, so I had to exercise in the most boring way ever, and it fucking sucked. Running with my bare feet didn't feel the same as when my paws hit the ground and how the earth's soil would rise with every pound.

I had tried to talk to him several times, sometimes even when Amanah was there, but none of my tactics had availed him, and I was starting to get annoyed with him.

I couldn't hear his thoughts anymore, but he never failed to remind me how much of a dick I was every time I reminded Amanah that I was in a committed relationship with Willow, but she didn't seem to care. Actually, she did respect the boundaries. Which shocked me.

She seemed to have fun teasing me about how much she would like us to get married or how she was clearly so much better than Willow, and she always pointed to her belly when she said that. I had to admit she was an amusing human, but seriously, on the goddess's life, I still had no idea how I ended up sleeping with her that night; how did I end up marking her?

My teeth tingled as I thought of the night I sank my teeth into her neck, and every single time, I had to remind myself how much I loved Willow.

"Who do you love?" I heard Amanah's voice from behind me; what the? Can she also hear my thoughts as I do with her? I turned around and found her standing at the last step, looking behind her. Oh, she was talking to Anin.

My heart stopped beating as I stared at her; my palms felt sweaty, and like I couldn't breathe. Not to mention how my teeth extended as I stared at her.

"Goddess, what a beauty," I whispered to myself.

"Pardon?" She turned to look at me and fuck. If only the ground could open up and swallow me right now, I would be glad and happy wherever I fall to, hopefully extremely far away from here. Why is my body reacting this way to her? I quickly put my arms to my front and cleared my throat.

"You're not going dressed like that," was all I could say. What? She looked captivating in that sleeveless dress, neck and shoulders completely exposed, her left leg exposed by that slit, and our baby bump gave that dress definition.

Fuck, what was I even thinking? This was even more of a reason she couldn't go like that! None of these feelings and nerves were mine, why would I be so concerned—damn.

"Why not?" She asked, scrunching her eyebrows together as she put her hand on the baluster and cocked her head to the side, exposing more of her neck, completely unbitten. Wouldn't it look way better with my mark there as well? I could see her veins pulsing from where I stood, and I swallowed hard.
