LUNA ALYSSA (COMPLETED)

Chapter 3

Alyssa Hunter's POV

The way he pronounced my name makes me shudder. I mean like, shudder in a good way. This man has every effect on me and it's all new to me. I feel slightly uncomfortable and overwhelmed, but at the same time, I'm liking it.

"How do you know my name while I never know yours?"
I pout while crossing both my arms across my chest.

"Lucas Raymon."
He tells me as he eats the bread that I make earlier.

"Lucas Raymon."
The name roll out of my mouth.

"Yes, Alyssa?"
He smirks at me, and I chuckle. I rest my head on his head while wrapping my right arm around his neck. I'm liking every moment like this.

He finishes the last slice of bread when the door flow open. He let me down quickly and push me behind him while holding firmly on my hand. I hide behind him, not daring to look at the man who just destroyed my door. Lucas growl at the intruder.

"Luc, we've been looking for you."
I hear a man's voice talking to Lucas and he release his grip on me and let out a sigh.

"Are you hurt?"
He asks him and Lucas slightly lift his shirt to show the scar. His brows knits together; look of concern. I lean my head to the right to look over the man that was talking to him. He looks at me confuse. I walk from behind Lucas and stand next to him.

"Hi, I'm Alyssa."
I introduce myself to him and smile softly. Looking by the size of his body and the power that radiates off him, I know that he is the beta.

Lucas smirks at me.

"She's my mate."
He says and move his hand around my waist as a sign of possessiveness. I chuckle as I feel slightly embarrass.

"So you both have a mark over a night?"
He smirks at me and then Lucas. My cheek instantly flash red.

"I'm Ryan. The Beta."
He state proudly and try to shake my hand when Lucas clear his throat.

"I'll be back soon. Tell my parents I'm fine."
Ryan laugh at him.

"Being possessive already."
Ryan raise his eyebrow. He waves me good bye and dash out quickly leaving my house.

"Hey wait! Who's going to fix my door?"
I yell.

Ugh werewolves

Lucas laugh and hug me from behind.

"He's my best friend."
He speaks as he nuzzle his nose at my neck breathing in my scents. He lifts me up easily and carry me to the couch.

I can walk

"Tell me about yourself."
He demands at me as his fingers play with my long hair. My eyes glances down not daring to look him in the eye.

"Alyssa, 20 years old, works as a secretary at LaRosa Enterprise. I'm single, used to be available, but not anymore."
I grinned, giving him my charming smile.

"Lyss, we both know that."
Lucas chuckle.

He nicknamed me.

I smile faintly. I knew what he wants to hear from me. Am I ready? Hell, I don't even know myself. Stupid werewolf with this fast forward pace. I can't keep up.

In fact, I think he already knows

"My parents, they died a long time ago when I was 9 years old. I think maybe that's why I can't shift."
I started. I was in the car with them when the accident happens.

There was blood all over the road. I saw my mom laid lifelessly on the side of the road bleeding to her death. There were glasses shattered everywhere, and it cut my arms.

I sat on the ground crying, don't know what to do. I was too shocked to move. My dad, he tried to save my mom, but she died soon after. There were blood everywhere.

Everywhere.

My body shakes lightly as my breathing become rapid and I clutch my chest. My father soon died too because he was losing too a good deal of blood by trying to save my mother.

I close my eyes, trying to subdue the pain I feel. The poor memories pain me every time I remember them. I feel so lonely without them.

"Alyssa?"
Lucas call to me. He wrap his arm around my waist and pull me closer to his warm body. He gently rubs my back with his rough hand.

"Breathe Lys. I need you to breathe. It's okay. I'm here."
I grip his shirt as I bury my face in the crook of his neck, breathing in his scent to calm myself down.

I cry.

For these past few years, I have been trying to make ends meet that I suppressed my emotions until I feel numb in the inside. I have been so independent that I don't need anyone else. I can take care of myself by my own. All this time, it's been hard for me to deal with my past alone.

Meeting Lucas, my mate, really helps me to uncover that I really misses my parents so much. It's scares me to where I don't want to talk about it, but here I am spilling my tea willingly to him. Lucas is still rubbing my back and soothing me with his never ending words.

"I'm here. Everything will be all right."
He assures me again.

After what feels like a year, I steady my breath and calm myself down. It feels good to cry sometimes. I feel a weight have been lift off me.

"I'm sorry, you have to deal such a weak mate like me."
I say to him while drying my eyes from my tears.

"No, don't say that. I don't want you to say that ever again. Understand."
His voice is louder than before. Clearly he doesn't like it when I say that. He kisses my forehead and wipe my tears with his thumb. His warm touch cure me.

"Thank you."
I speak as I look him in the eye.

"Don't be princess."
He replies shortly and kiss my cheek.

Later that day, Lucas tells me to shower, and he opens up to me about his life. He is 24 years old this year, and that makes a gap of 4 years between us. He is an alpha of the Nightshade Canines pack, but in order to become the full alpha he needs a mate.

He also tells me I need to live with him as I will be the luna to the pack and help him with the pack business.

Me? Luna? Hell yeah.

Well, I take all of it pretty smoothly. Living together makes me feel restless. I have date no one in my entire life. It's sad, I know, but what can I do. I was too busy with the job and my studies that I barely have time to have fun.

"Lucas, when will we go to the pack house?"
I yell to him from my bedroom. I want to pack all of my things immediately because I never live in a pack house.

Two, it must be fun to have a lot of friends. I can't wait to go to the pack house. Screw that, I'm absolutely thrill. Staying in a pack is really fun. We eat together. Protect each other and have fun together.

I hear footsteps getting closer and arms hug my waist from behind.

"Tomorrow."
