The Fate of The Luna

Chapter 6

Jordan's P.O.V.

I look around my office at the three men sitting around. We've been drinking scotch and discussing business. Liam has yet to agree to my terms. We really have not even spoke about my offer. They have been discussing battle tactics and a time to move their forces in. I finish my last bit of scotch and pour myself another.

I've drank enough to have a buzz, but werewolves' tolerance to humans' is significantly different. We've practically drank two bottles at this point, and I am just now buzzing. I can tell the men are as well.

"Luna Jordan and Alpha Liam, I am going to excuse myself," Axle says, and I nod to my guard to take him to his room. To my surprise, Braven stands and follows as well. I suppose he didn't feel the need to dismiss himself. I growl lowly at the disrespect but allow him to go without any consequences. I can hear Liam chuckle. I turn back to him my eyes flashing black.

I freeze. Estelle is finally allowed back in. I must have drunk more than I thought.

'Mate.' Estelle links me.

'No. No!' I scream back at her and push her further down, but it's too late. Our souls are already bonding more. I can feel her become a true complete half of me.

I feel the searing pain run through my body. I let out a scream and writhe in my chair. Liam is immediately at my side holding me. Our mate bond is not formed, but he can feel a small amount of my pain.

"Breath Jordan!" He shouts at me and pulls me into his arms. His presence immediately lessens the pain and I groan. As soon as I feel the pain leave my body completely, I know Estelle and I are now one. From the screams of happiness in my mind, she does too. I roll my eyes and demand her to shut up. She lets out one last glee and goes quiet.

I come back to earth and realize I am now curled up in Liam's lap and he is holding me and purring into the crook of my neck. I hop off him and turn around growling at him. I can feel the coldness of my room and can feel myself sadden by the lack of his touch. I do not let him see this though. My eyes are stone cold black, and I am snarling at him.

"We may be mates, but do not touch me without my permission," I snap at him and use my Luna voice. He smiles and has a shine in his eyes when he looks up at me. He stands and walks to me. He runs his fingers up and down my arms lightly. My growls are low and venomous at this point. He immediately defied my command and without the slightest of hesitation.

This alpha will learn, royalty or not, he is beneath me. I push him back up against the wall and pin him there all with a swift movement of my hands. Liam is struggling, but he remains calm. Unfortunately, I cannot inflict any pain on him due to the mate bond, but I can hold him to this wall with my powers.

I stalk over to him like he's my prey. My eyes never move, and I smile a wicked grin. "Liam, love, I just told you not to touch me without my permission," I coo at him with venom lacing my words. "You need to learn a lesson. I could do the easy thing and just flat out reject you right here," I smirk, and I see him struggling more to free himself.

"Jordan," he rolls my name out so calm. It's like I am not even affecting him even though I can see the clear struggle. I let out a chuckle. He is trying to play calm and together. "My mate, if you wish to reject me, it will cause us both to lose a little more sanity than we already have. You will ultimately go crazy without me," Liam states, his eyes never leaving mine, but staying the bright enchanting blue.

I get closer to him and I feel his warm breath and take in his scent. It is sweet. It smells like evergreen trees and blueberries. Estelle is practically drooling at this point. I roll my eyes at how naïve my wolf is. The fact I am fucking stuck with this imbecile wolf and mate for the rest of my life infuriates me. Before I can process what is happening Liam grabs me by my neck and has me pinned against the wall.

My eyes go wide, and I growl at the stupid man holding me up by my throat. He isn't causing any pain, just holding me there. He lets out a hearty laugh and I can feel myself melt a little. My eyes go back to their green color and I calm down. I groan when I realize what is happening. I cannot resist this stupid fucker.

"Aw, there you go babygirl," he smiles at me and lowers me back to my feet. His hand doesn't move from my throat though. He leans in close to me and breaths me in. "You smell so good like honey and cherry blossom," he mutters and kisses the spot his mark should be. My body immediately tenses up. Is he about to mark me now? Without my permission? My blood is boiling, and I can see red.

Estelle does not handle this disrespect either. I shift immediately and nip at his feet. My growls are causing his body to tense, and I can feel that he is fighting to not submit to me. I bite his leg lightly, making sure not to draw blood or hurt him. He lets out a growl of his own.

I've got to run. The anger in me is amplified in wolf form and I'm about to rip his throat out. I can only respect the mate bond for so long before I murder this disrespectful fucker. I turn around and take off running. My guards open the doors, so I do not cause too much damage to the freshly refinished manor. I run to the edge of the woods and teleport to my haven. I need time to think away from everyone. I cut my mind link off and inform my Beta Oliver to take care of everything for a few hours. I wait for him to respond with a 'Yes Luna', and then cut all mind links off. Only Frank can reach me right now.

I shift back to my human form and climb into the water. I swim over to the waterfall and rinse off. I sit in the cave under the waterfall and begin meditating.
