"You could learn a lesson or two from him, at least he knows how to -"
Alessio's eyes darkened and a low growl escaped his mouth, he roughly gripped her waist and forced his mate onto his lap.
"I dare you to finish that sentence"

With a heart...

Reynah's POV
My eyes slowly adjusting to the bright light that was emitting from the open curtains and my first sight was Alessio, he was so close that if I leaned in a little closer I would be able to kiss him, not that I would ever do that.
I stayed in that position for some time, and I noticed that from a distance his face seemed flawless but being so close to him now I noticed the few scars that littered his face, they were faint but they were still there and I was suddenly reminded of who my mate was. He was Alessio Pierce, the Alpha of the most vicious pack in the entire country...and I was his mate.
"How long are you going to stare at me for?" Alessio suddenly asked, his voice low and husky breaking me out of my thoughts.
I was startled when I realised he had been awake this entire time, quickly my embarrassment overtook my surprise and I made a move to get out of the bed. Before I could so much as to even lift the duvet off my body Alessio's arm, which I hadn't even realised was draped over my waist tightened around my waist pulling me flush against his hard chest.
Thank goddess he was wearing a shirt!
My eyes widened at the sudden action and I blushed at the position he had gotten us into. My face was probably red by now and the slight smirk on his face confirmed my suspicion.
"I-I wasn't staring at you" I defended. I internally slapped myself for being such a shitty lier but to be fair it was pretty hard to stay calm when I could practically feel every curve of his sculpted chest since I had no choice but to place my hands on his chest.
"You sure about that? Tell me what about my face do you find so attractive that you just couldn't look away?" He asked teasingly, his eyes glinted with mischief and I realised the game he was playing.
"You're not that good looking" I stated but that was a straight-up lie, I just needed to keep some of my dignity intact.
"Is that so?"
"Besides how did you know I was staring at you if you weren't doing the same to me?"
"If you mean I was admiring my beautiful mate then yes, I was staring. Sue me." He shamefully admitted and yet somehow I was the one that still looked like a tomato.
"You-you...ugh!" I exclaimed when I couldn't think of a reply to his comment
He chuckled at my exasperation before he released me and got out of the bed, I suddenly felt cold when his warmth had left me.
Goddess, get it together Reynah!
"Come on amor, get ready and I'll tell you what's going to happen today" He said and practically dragged me out of the bed when I didn't move.
"Okay! I'll get changed!" He seemed satisfied with my response and left the room to go to what I can only assume to be another bathroom when he left with some of his clothes
"Wait! My clothes are in my room" remembering the events of last night
"I've mind linked my Beta Female to get you some clothes. There's a spare toothbrush in the bathroom for you. I've got a few things to do to get ready for today but I'll join you for breakfast. Don't go to that room until it's cleared, from now on this is our room."
He left before I could say anything else. He better give me some answers at breakfast or I swear I'll...I'll think of something later.
I made my way to the bathroom and took that shower I so desperately needed. I wrapped the towel around my body and was happy to see that a pair of undergarments, as well as a white dress, was neatly folded and placed on the bed. I quickly changed into the lovely dress that surprising fitted perfectly. It has spaghetti straps with a sweetheart neckline and stopped at my mid thigh.
As I heard my stomach grumble I made my way to the kitchen. Margaret was cooking some pancakes and I practically drooled at the sight of the stack full of blueberry pancakes she was piling up.
"Morning Margaret" I smiled brightly at her and decided to make myself useful by setting up the table
"Thank you, Luna, why you look beautiful in that dress"
I inwardly cringed at the title she had given me but didn't say anything since I didn't want her to feel bad. Instead, I thanked her and continued to grab some orange juice from the fridge.
"I must be going now dear but I'll see you soon"
"Aren't you going to eat?"
"Oh no, I already ate, you go ahead dear"
She left the kitchen and I wondered when Alessio was going to show up. Just when my thoughts had wandered off to him, Alessio strolled in wearing denim blue jeans and a black shirt; a stark contrast to the suits I usually see him in.
"Did I make you wait?" Alessio said pulling out the chair across from the one I was sitting in.
"Nope, I was just gonna eat" I wasted no time and scarfed down the food on my plate, sometime into the meal i felt Alessio's gaze on me and I stopped mid-bite to see his staring at me with an amused smile.
"What?" I questioned as I finished the last pancake on my plate.
"Today I'm going to introduce you to the pack" He said it as a statement, not even a question!
"I'm sorry but when did I agree to this?"
It was as if he had read my mind and knew what I was going to say since he didn't seem surprised by my rejection in the slightest
"You agreed to stay here for a month and as my mate, you have the title of being the Silver Claw Pack's Luna" Alessio confidently stated.
"I'm no Luna, Alessio" I said as I stood up, unnerved by the idea of having such a huge responsibility thrust upon me. I didn't know the first thing about being a Luna, one to the strongest pack in the country for that matter.
Alessio's face softened at my words and he too got out his chair and pulled me into a hug. My body relaxed in his hold and for once I didn't curse the bond for making me feel the sparks that appeared whenever he touched me, instead I savored the feeling of beings in his strong arms.
"You already are Reynah, I've seen it. You are my Luna."
