Alpha and His Nubian Luna

Chapter 39

Lily's Narrative:

I woke up to an empty bed. I jumped up from my sleep and started looking all over the room hoping that I would find Neel. I tried to open my mouth, but nothing would come out. My mouth became dry, that it hurt so badly. I got out of the bed trying to search in the room that I was in. I started to feel my leg almost give out until I felt a pair of strong hands catching me before I fell.

"I got you." said Neel.

My body naturally relaxed to his touch. He turned me around to face him and I gave him a small smile.

"I was hoping that I would come back into bed with you before you woke up. I had to deal with some pressing matters dealing with the pack." he said.

I just continued to look into his eyes and searching for answers, but I started to get lost within them. Neel was a hard person to read, but he was the type of person that will always be there for me whenever I needed him.

I tried to talk again, but this time it became an absolute struggle.

"You need water." he said.

I nodded my head. He guided me towards the bed and sat me down. He grabbed a bottle of water from the mini fridge.

He gave me the bottle of water and I took a very long gulp. When I say that this water was so needed, it truly was. I was fucking thirsty as hell. Neel had this smirk on his face after I wiped my mouth.

"What are you smiling about?" I asked.

He shook his head. "It's nothing." He said.

I rolled my eyes at him.

He grabbed me gently, but aggressively by my face and pulled my face closer to his.

"Didn't we already have a conversation about you rolling your eyes at me?" he asked.

The look he was giving me and the tone of voice made my pussy get wet beyond belief. This man didn't have to do much to make me get wet for him. It just made me horny as hell and I just couldn't get enough of him.

"I'm sorry, daddy." I said.

He placed a long, passionate, but aggressive kiss upon my lips. That kiss alone made me want to fuck him and to get fucked by him in so many ways.
"But on a serious note, we are leaving Los Angeles. We're heading back to Houston,Texas." He said.
I felt a lump forming in my throat. I didn't understand why they were leaving so quickly. But I didn't want them to leave.
"Why?" I asked.
He took a deep breath and looked at me.
"I don't want you to get hurt and I don't want to bring forth danger to my pack. So I'm taking you and the pack to Houston and begin the war." He said.
I let out a breath that I didn't realize I was holding. I jumped in his arms and kissing all over his face.
"What's all that for?" He asked with that sexy smirk on his face.
"I thought you were being stupid to leave me behind." I said.

He begin to caress my face and looking deep into my eyes.

"I would never leave you here. You're my soulmate and it's my duty to protect you from those that is trying to harm you." He spoke softly, but with authority filled within his voice.

"But I don't want you to protect me every waking second. If anything, I want you to train on how to kill a vampire or werewolf. Any threat that is meant to cause me and this pack harm." I said.

He chuckled to himself and I wasn't pleased nor satisfied.

"What's so funny?" I asked.

"It's nothing. It's just that I never thought I would have to train you on how to fight or kill creatures that you didn't believe were real. Hell, you ran away from me when you saw my true form." He said.

I couldn't lie. Seeing Neel in his hybrid form was scary as fuck. Like he was massive and strong. His eyes were big with a storm-forming blue that glows in the darkness. You would think his eyes were like fire flies that lit during the summer nights. His being was fearsome and quite intimidating, but he was my creature to love even if it is hard to.

"Touché." I said. I ended the conversation with that.

"But what about my apartment?" I asked.

"Well, you will be living with me. Inside of my home in Houston, Texas. I promise I will fly all of your belongings before we leave." he said.

I nodded my head and gave him a small smile.

"You know that I'm here for you whenever you need to talk to me. Rather it has something to do with your past or even your present. Just know that I'm always here for you, Lily." He said.

"I know." We sat there in complete silence, but the silence was comforting. His body warmth was cozy and I knew that it felt like home. A home that I could never have, but I will continue to bask in the moment until this new found home disappears and then I'm left all alone all over again.

"Lily, I will always be here for you and with you as long as you're willing to keep me." He said.

Is this man reading my thoughts? I thought to myself. But I didn't say a word. I continued to lay my head on his shoulder and enjoy the comforting silence that filled the room. I knew that Neel meant every word, but how do I know that we are meant to be together forever. How am I suppose to know the unknowing when we don't even know each other all that well? But I find comfort knowing that he wants to be here with me in this very moment. That he wants to comfort me in this very moment. That he wants to take me away from all of my nightmares and fears in this very moment. So, again, I will continue to bask in this moment as long as I can. My true secret that Neel shouldn't be able to find out about.

The moment that this secret comes out, it will crush him the same way that it crushed me when I found out. No one knows of this secret, not even Mila. How can I tell the man that I grew to love only within days that I can't bare children because I have cervical cancer? I don't think I will be able to tell him and I stopped going to chemotherapy. I just been buying time and haven't said a word about it to anyone. That's one of my biggest secrets and I know that it will break Neel the moment he finds out.
