The Persistent Alpha, & Resistant Luna

37. Mālama .

I just know Grey had managed to get us to the windowed room quicker than I ever thought possible.

I figured the bedroom was just too far for him to hold out any longer, but another hitch I had told me something different.

I'd figure that out later.

Right now all I planned to figure out was how to make this hunk of a wolf man have his damned way with me.

He was holding back. And I wanted to know why.

I pulled my head away from him, "If you're.. not as into this as I am, then.. I-I'd understand."

He looked at me like I was absolutely bat shit before flipping me on my back, pinning me to the couch.

"I think you've completely lost your mind, pet." He kissed the curve of my neck.

I wrapped my legs around him. "Then why are you holding back from me?"

"To be honest-"

"Well of course I want your honesty." I said in a teasing tone.

He huffed out a breath and it instantly reminded me of him in his wolf form, giving me attitude.

Good to know his personality doesn't change.

I smirked at him.

"I don't want to hurt you, Nova."

I was confused. "Why would you hurt me? I mean- How could you possibly? It's sex I'm trying to force you into Grey, not a fist fight."

He chuckled. "One, you're not forcing me into anything at all, sweetheart." He shook his head, "And two, you'd lose to this Alpha in a fist fight."

I rolled my eyes, "Really? That's all you got out of that?" I knew it wasn't about whether I'd win in a fight with him or not. But with heightened emotions and feelings, I'd acquired a newfound outrage to being belittled in strength.

Time to test out these new abilities.

Instead of thinking, I acted. And as fast as possible.

I let sheer instinct take over, finding myself holding Grey hostage to a nearby wall.

He was just as stunned as I was, but only momentarily. He gave me a wicked smile, before whirling me around, and almost slamming me into the same wall.

Surprisingly, I giggled.

I could feel the rush of adrenaline slowly edging it's way up inside of me. But now, I didn't so much as feel it was only adrenaline.

If adrenaline at all.

Something told me this was the feeling of my wolf.

So much power. I could feel it in the pit of my stomach, boiling up with excitement.

Grey held my hands against the wall, kissing roughly at every spot of my skin accessible to his reach.

I bucked at him, harder than what I expected, sending him back a few steps. I took the opportunity to nearly pounce on him, taking us both to the floor.

I let him take most of the fall, of course being the gentleman that he was, he wouldn't mind.

He laughed, probably catching a bit of my thoughts. I knew I wasn't good at this mind link thing, so right now with heavy distraction, I knew he had full access to pick around in there.

I didn't mind it.

He could feel how I felt I'm sure, because I could feel him. But I needed him to know exactly what I thought of him.
