Healing His Broken Luna.... Chapter 104

Chapter 17 - Questions

I sat quietly in the back seat of the car next to Alpha Lukas while the big wolf who was on my fire escape was driving. It was the same wolf I saw when I left Mr. Lee's yesterday. Hope he's not too angry about his fingers. I nervously looked out the window waiting for the car to drive north, back to Sapphire Moon, but it never did.

We pulled up to the valet of the Manhattan Grand Hotel, Alpha Lukas opened my door and led me to the elevator. The other wolf, stood quietly next to us in the elevator and was holding my backpack and bag. I had stuffed all my savings, four thousand dollars, in my backpack and kept my eye on the bag, in case I needed to make a quick getaway.

"Are you hungry?" I heard his voice ask.

"I'm famished actually." The other wolf answered.

"I wasn't asking you Angelo." He said slightly annoyed and I couldn't help but giggle.

"Syble, we can order anything you want. What would you like for dinner?" He asked me. My heart was racing when he said my name and that damn wave of pleasure shot up my spine.

I shrugged my shoulders. I didn't know what I wanted to eat. Right now, I was wondering why I wasn't dead yet.

"I'll have Stanley send up one of everything from the hotel restaurant Alpha." Angelo said. Angelo was almost as big as the Alpha, he had long light brown hair that reached his ears and big brown eyes. He was handsome to be sure, but the Alpha was absolutely gorgeous on a whole different level.

We entered the lavish suite and Angelo set my bags next to the sofa.

"Angelo, will you go downstairs and arrange for dinner."

"Yes Alpha."

The door closed behind Angelo and I was alone in the room with this Alpha wolf. We stared at each other for a moment before he walked towards me. With each step he took, I took another step backwards. He backed me into the wall and his eyes appeared to be a very dark shade of blue. I could sense his wolf below the surface as Storm howled in my head. She wanted her mate, but I wasn't sure what to think of mine. How could he be my mate if he already had Donnatella, unless she really wasn't his mate.

"She wasn't his mate. He's our mate." Storm said to me.

His heavenly scent was overpowering my senses and I greedily inhaled it. He stood with his fists balled and it seemed my scent had hit him as well. He licked his lips and continued to gaze upon me. Then he did the thing I least expected. He reached his hands out, grabbed me by the waist and pulled me into him.

I stood for a moment and just breathed him in. I wasn't sure who was in control, him or his wolf. I looked up into his eyes and for a moment I thought he was going to kiss me. I could feel his desire for me, a craving to touch me, but I could also see the conflict in his eyes. He pulled back from me and my body felt cold by the loss of contact.

"Mate." A soft whisper left my lips.

The sound of my voice stunned me. Lukas took a step back and his eyes were wide with shock as he realized what he had just heard. He cocked his head sideways and he stared at me lost in thought. I wondered if the sound of my voice had the same impact on him as his does on me.

"Yes. Yes I am." He stepped closer to me. "Can you say that again?" He asked.

I opened my mouth and my lips moved but no sound came out. I took a deep breath and tried again. Squeaks. Only the sound of squeaks came out. Well now I sound like the sad little mouse he thinks I am.

"We're no mouse!" Storm said to me.

"Syble, look at me." He placed his hand under my chin and lifted my head to meet his eyes.

"Can you say my name?" He said with pleasure in his tone as my heart raced. I could feel desire in the air, was it his or mine?

I opened my mouth, but nothing came out. I felt a wave of frustration. A moment ago I had just called out to him, claiming him as my mate. Was that my wolf or really me? Alpha Lukas is my mate, my other half. How is this even happening?

"You keep chewing on your lower lip like that and I'm going to have to taste it too." He smirked at me.

I stood frozen and unsure of myself, unsure of him, unsure of everything. He turned around and walked over to a table near the big glass window. I watched as he pulled his jacket off and tossed it on the sofa. The muscles in his back were ripped and I could feel the heat in my face as I checked him out. Even his neck was strong and toned. 

My eyes landed on the most interesting tattoo on the back of his neck. A crescent moon, it looked just like the one on the back of my neck. The one I don't ever remember getting.

I walked over to him and pointed to the back of his neck. When he gave me a questioning look of confusion, I reached up to tap the back of his neck. I could feel the tingles when I touched him.

"Oh, my entire back and shoulders are covered." He unbuttoned his shirt, removed it, and stood topless. I gulped at the sight in front of me and with a slight smirk, he turned around to show me his back.

Sweet Moon Goddess, I wanted to stroke his back and touch him. Run my hands over those muscles. I took in the sexy sight of his back and noticed the tattoo's, he had tattoos of the moon, a black alpha wolf and beautiful elemental art. I found the fire and water, then I noticed earth and was looking for the air element when he turned around and faced me with his bare chest. He was inching closer and closer to me. I could feel his breath quicken and a pull inside of me wanting to be held close to his chest. The front door opened up and Angelo walked in. Lukas took a step back.

"Dinner should be up in about fifteen more minutes. Did I interrupt something?" He grinned at us, taking in the topless Alpha that stood in front of me.

"She wanted to see my tattoo's." Lukas tried to compose himself.

I motioned for Angelo to come over with my hand and he walked over to where we were. I lifted my hand to point again to the back of Lukas' neck and gave Angelo a questioning look.

"That's a crescent moon tattoo." Angelo said.

It looked like the one I had on the back of my neck. I didn't spend a lot of time looking at it, so I wasn't sure if it was identical. I lifted my hair up and turned around to show them.

"What the fuck?" Angelo managed to utter in shock.

"Syble, you're, you're ... elemental?" Lukas asked me in disbelief.

Elemental? Is he being serious right now? Is that really possible. I recalled the storm the other night but had just assumed that was coincidental. Memories of the gray wolf on the cliff came flooding back, he had touched the nape of my neck. He knew.

"Angelo, get the pad of paper and pen." Lukas instructed. 

I watched as he put his shirt on, then pulled a chair for me to sit at the big table next to the windows that looked down over Fifth Avenue. Angelo sat at the table and his eyes looked glossy, he was mind linking with Lukas.

"Syble, I'm going to ask you some questions, try and answer as best as you can. Okay?" I nodded my head.

"Do you know if you control an element?" He asked.

I wrote, "I don't know for sure. Strange things have started happening recently with the wind and air." Shock flashed across his face when he read the words.

"Is it just air or have you noticed anything else?"

I wrote, "just air I think." I looked at Angelo who was nervously looking between the two of us.

"The crescent moon mark is the mark of an elemental wolf. Elemental wolves are descendants of the Moon Goddess. Not everyone gets the element and sometimes it stays dormant for generations. Did any of your parents or ancestors have the gift?"

"My parents were killed when I was ten, I've never seen the mark before." He read the words and looked at me with pity.

Have you ever shifted?" He asked.

I heard a low whimper inside, "No, I wasn't strong enough. Storm has just started talking to me."

"Storm?" His eyes lit up. "Is that your wolf's name?"

I smiled and nodded my head. Storm urged me to ask about his wolf. "She wants to know what your wolf's name is." I wrote.

"Luke, my wolf is Luke." He smiled.

"Awe, I hate to break up the first date, but the food has arrived." Angelo said and walked over to the front door before the lady could even knock on the door. He motioned for her to come in and three carts were wheeled right in. The smell of food filled the air and my mouth watered.

"I suggest you pick what you'd like quick before Angelo sits down to eat." Lukas said to me as the staff laid out eight dinner plates. They had everything from steak to chicken and pasta to fish.

I selected the fish plate, Lukas took the steak and Angelo took the kebabs and pasta plate. Everyone seemed lost in their own thoughts during dinner. After dinner, Lukas showed me to a room upstairs. The hotel suite was two levels and there was one bedroom downstairs and two bedrooms upstairs. Angelo was staying in the room downstairs; I was upstairs next to Lukas.

My room had a large window view of the city as well. The bed was huge. I turned on the light for the bathroom and my eyes landed on a big bathtub. This was no old water trough sized bath, this was huge. I looked in the mirror and noticed he was watching me.

"You're welcome to take a soak in the bath if you want. There's and assortment of bubbles and bath salts in the basket there." He said as he set down my backpack and bag next to the bed. "I'll be in the room next door if you need anything." He gave me another look and walked out.

I was left alone and unsure. This entire room was bigger than my apartment. I wondered if I would ever see my apartment again. Was I his prisoner or slave now? A slave would never be allowed to sit at the dinner table and eat whatever they wanted. Was he really going to accept me as a mate?

"Mate will love us." Storm said to me.

I walked into the bathroom and turned on the water. My tiny apartment had a tiny shower and I was excited to take a warm bath for the first time. I looked at the basket of hotel goodies and found chamomile lavender scented bubble bath. I felt the warmth caress me as I lowered myself into the warm bath and let out a moan. This felt amazing. I laid back and felt my body relax. I closed my eyes and visions of his bare chest swam through my mind. Here I was, naked in the bath and shamelessly thinking about him again.

After my bath, I pulled out a long shirt and panties to sleep in. The bed and bedding made me feel like I was floating on a cloud. I laid in bed thinking about everything. He knew I was elemental and had the same mark. I didn't get the chance to ask him what his element is. I wanted to ask if Alpha Jaxon knows I'm alive, but I don't want to remind him of Donnatella. I thought about uttering my first word today, how it just came out without thinking. I thought about the look in his eyes when he asked me to try and say his name. 

I rolled over on my side and felt the heaviness of my eyes take over as I drifted off to sleep. When I woke up in the morning, there was a heavy arm draped around my waist that was attached to Alpha Lukas. My entire back was pressed up against his chest and it was warm. I was in a different room, in a different bed, it was his bed!
