Beautiful Luna

22. The Coronation

They both were glistening with sweat under the morning sun. Gio continued to kiss his omega for a long time until he could feel Levi almost passing out because of it and then he removed his thumb from the top of his dick and started stroking his omega very hard. The omega rolled his eyes back and his nails dug into his alphas back and tears falling down his eyes. His cheeks were flushed red like a tomato. Just with few hard and fast moves Gio made his omega reach his long-awaited climax.

"aahhhh ahhhhhhhhhh alphaaa yessss alphaahhhhh" Levi cried out loud. Loud enough for the whole palace to know what the two of them are up to. But thankfully their room was soundproof, which saved the omega from any later embarrassments.

"Little one you are not leaving this room today."

Just when Levi thought he could finally catch his breath, a sharp knock echoed through the room.

He froze. Gio's body had just left his, the heat of their passion still lingering in the air, thick and heavy. Their eyes met in the quiet haze—darkness swirling in Gio's gaze, protectiveness crackling beneath it like lightning. Without a word, the Alpha rose from the bed, but not before making sure the quilt covered every inch of Levi's trembling form.

The omega clutched the blanket tighter around himself, his cheeks still flushed, lips swollen from kisses that had stolen his very soul.

Gio cracked open the door, only to find Blake standing on the other side—his Beta, his best friend, and at that moment, the last person he wanted to see. Blake's nose scrunched the second he caught a whiff of the pheromones hanging in the air, and he winced, waving a hand in front of his face.

"I'm so sorry," he blurted, eyes wide with panic. "I know I'm interrupting. Trust me, I didn't want to do this. But you need to come. Like, now."

Gio didn't say anything—he didn't need to. His icy glare was lethal enough to send any man running.

But Blake stood his ground.

"Alpha Kaiden and Luna Rose just arrived. I greeted them, but we can't keep them waiting too long. They came all this way, and we need to make a good impression. Please, Gio."

There was a long pause. Tension thickened in the hallway. Gio looked one second away from snapping.

He ran a hand through his dark hair, visibly restraining himself. "I'll be there in a few minutes," he muttered under his breath. "Just... make sure they're comfortable until then."

Blake nodded like his life depended on it and quickly disappeared down the hall, grateful to be out of the line of fire.

With an exasperated sigh, Gio shut the door and turned back to the bed. His eyes softened the second they landed on the quilt-covered figure still hiding from the world.

He padded toward the bed, his voice gentle. "He's gone, baby."

A small squeak came from under the blanket, followed by a rustle as Levi peeked out—his hair adorably messy, eyes wide, lips parted in confusion.

"But... people?" Levi whispered, voice still thick from sleep and kisses.

Gio sat at the edge of the bed and tugged the blanket down further. "Some guests have arrived. Alpha Kaiden and Luna Rose. We have to meet them."

Levi blinked, his brows furrowing. His body was still sore, the heat of their mating still tingling beneath his skin. But he nodded slowly, even though a small sigh escaped him. Disappointment flickered in his eyes—but not a word of protest left his lips.

Because he understood.

And that made Gio's chest ache in the best and worst ways.

He'd had lovers before. He'd even had a fiancé—someone who would have thrown a fit at the mere idea of getting out of bed this early. But Levi... Levi just sat up, eyes downcast, expression calm, and already reached for his clothes.
