Once In A Blue Moon

Chapter 30

The chain bit further into my skin; causing my healing wounds to rip open. Blood slowly trickled down my ankle and dripped steadily onto the cold floor. I shoved my back against the hard wall, and pulled my knees to my chest.

I could feel him watching me. His black, bottomless eyes, devouring every inch of my exposed flesh. The small dress they had forced me into, did nothing to hide my figure from male eyes. The dress clung to my sweaty skin; becoming almost translucent. I quickly tried to rearrange the dress to conceal myself more fully.

That's when I heard him.

A soft snarl echoed from the corner of the room. I immediately froze even as my heart hammered loudly against my rib cage. I was sure he could hear it because he let out a deep, throaty chuckle. The hair on my body raised as his voice drew closer.

I scanned the room, trying to detect any movement in the dark corners.

"Are you looking for me?"

My breath locked in my chest, and my heart stuttered in fear. I whipped my head to the side to come face-to-face with the man who haunted my dreams.

"Luke," I cried in horror.

A slow, dark smile slipped onto his face. The smile continued to grow, becoming grotesquely large, almost splitting his face in two. His black eyes bore straight into my soul, seeing everything pure and light, and tearing it into pieces. He tilted his head to the side, quickly losing his smile. If I thought his smile was terrifying, it was nothing compared to the lust filled gaze he was showing now.

Before I could think, he had me flat on my back, with his whole weight baring down on my chest. I tried to push him off but he didn't budge. His hands bunched the material of my dress and he tore it into pieces.

He's going to rape me, I thought with horror.

I struggled against his wandering hands, trying to use my legs to get leverage under my body. I briefly felt the chain biting into my ankle, but that pain was nothing compared to what I was about to experience. Luke's hands grabbed the hem of my underwear and he slowly started to pull them off my body.

That's when I started to scream.

"Leah! Leah!"

I struggled against the large, warm hands.

Leah, please, stop! You're going to hurt yourself! A voice echoed in my head.

I thrashed frantically against the muscular body that hovered above me. Warm hands cupped my face and held me immobile. I could feel a warm breath blow out onto my face, ruffling my hair.

"Leah, my love, come back to me. I'm right here. Nothing is going to happen to you." A warm voice spoke. "I won't let anything happen to you."

Wake up for me baby, I need you to open your eyes. I need you.

I snapped open my eyes and stared into the deepest, darkest blue eyes. My wolf and I immediately settled down, and I relaxed back into the mattress with my mate leaning over me. His thumbs gently brushed the tears away from my cheeks, his eyes never leaving mine for a second.

I lifted my head slightly and pressed my lips firmly against his. He leisurely moved his lips against mine, creating a warm hum deep in my chest. His tongue brushed against my lips, asking for entrance, and I immediately brushed my tongue against his. He kept the kiss slow and light, but I felt it in every fiber of my body. When he pulled away, I was panting for breath. He gently kissed my forehead, my eyelids, my cheeks, and the tip of my nose. 

My eyes fluttered open again to see my mate staring at me with a worried and confused expression.

"Tell me," he demanded.

The Alpha in his voice caused my body to heat up, and my wolf to snap to attention. She would follow his ever command, and I would follow him to the end of the world.

I'll show you, I told him through our mate mind link.

And I did.

His body tensed, the muscles in his back and shoulders locked into place, and he unconsciously moved more over my body, protecting me the way a wolf would protect his mate. I rubbed my hands up and down his arms as I showed him the part of my dream, where Luke started to remove my clothes. Will snarled and suddenly, burst into his wolf form.

Seeing my very large, black wolf snarling over me startled me, but didn't scare me. I ran my fingers through his fur, trying to calm me down, but he didn't even register my touch. He suddenly threw back his head and howled; signaling to our pack that he was gathering a meeting.

I raised up on my elbows until I was face-to-face with my threatening looking mate. He stared back at me, daring me to argue with his Alpha authority. But I just rested my forehead against his and whispered those three little words:

"I love you."
