Healing His Broken Luna.... Chapter 112

Chapter 25 - Challenge

Lukas POV

We decided to return to the hotel for lunch and it's a good thing we did, the muffuletta sandwiches being served are delicious.

"You think the sandwich originated in Italy?" Angelo asked through a mouth full of food. The phrase, a way to a man's heart is through his stomach comes to mind when I think of Angelo.

"The muffuletta, like the po'boy, originated in New Orleans." Camille said as she approached our table to sit.

"Really?" Angelo asked.

"Yes, the muffuletta bread may have been named after a baker in Sicily, but the sandwich with the meats, cheeses and olive salad topping was born right here in the big easy." She told us. 

"Ah Camille, just the woman I was hoping to see. Please join us."

"Is there something I can help you with Alpha?" She smiled and sat down beside Angelo. She was really growing on me and I was hoping Angelo would select her as a chosen mate.

"We've been trying to track down a grand warlock who seems to be rather elusive." I told her.

"Are you looking for Magnus?" She asked.

"You know him?" I asked.

"I've never met him, but my father and our Alpha have mentioned him before."

"What's your father's position in the pack?" I could feel her wolf and she was high ranked.

"My father was the Beta of our pack and now my oldest brother holds that position to Alpha LeBlanc." She said and I glanced at Angelo. She was born to be the Beta female of a pack, hopefully my future pack.

"It's about time we take a pack." Luke said to me.

"It seems that tonight is a special night for witches and warlocks to frequent graveyards to collect dirt. Possibly dirt that's linked to important people for spell casting. We believe Magnus might be out tonight, but there are so many cemeteries in New Orleans, we're not sure which ones to check." I told her.

"Hmmm. If I was a witch, I'd want dirt that might be linked to old powerful magic. Magnus is a grand warlock; I don't think he would be using commoner's dirt." She said and she had a great point.

"Are there any significant graves in New Orleans that might draw Magnus?" Syble asked.

"Mate has a great point too." Luke said to me.

"Well, Marie Laveau the VooDoo Queen is buried at the St. Louis Cemetery, number one. However, that cemetery is usually only open with a guided tour due to past vandalism and to help the preservation efforts. There are other notable people buried there as well, but none more meaningful to magic than Marie Laveau." 

"Is that the one we're stalking tonight?" Angelo asked me.

"There's also the nearby Lafayette Cemetery, number one, which is home to several prominent witches from centuries past."

"We may have to prowl them separately. We can't be two places at once and the dirt collecting takes place at midnight." I told Angelo.

"You want me to go into a haunted boneyard alone?" He asked.

"They're not haunted." I told him.

"La rumeur dit qu'ils sont hantés la nuit." Camille giggled as she told me the rumors say they are haunted at night. 

"They're called cities of the dead for a reason." Angelo said and Syble let out a giggle as well.

"I'll go with you." Camille told Angelo and he seemed to relax. I knew I liked her for a reason.

"How will we know who he is if we've never seen him?" Syble asked.

"His magic will emanate a very strong aura that we should be able to sense above all, especially you Alpha." Camille explained.

"Thank you Camille."

"Of course. May I ask why you are seeking Magnus?"

"My mate has a binding curse that's keeping her from shifting. Magnus is the only grand wizard in the States and we're hoping he can break it."

"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. I believe I've heard that Magnus also has a home in the swamp lands. I can ask my father if you like?"

"That would be great. Thank you."

"The sandwiches are delicious babe. Are you still making the alligator gumbo tonight?"

"Of course. Speaking of which, I need to get back to the kitchen. I'll see you for dinner." She gave Angelo a quick kiss and went back to the kitchen.

"Angelo, I like her." Syble told him.

"So does Angelo." I said with a raised eyebrow.

"I'd like to take a nap and rest up for tonight." Syble said.

"You're not coming tonight." I told her. There's absolutely no way I could take her. I don't know what we'll run into and since she couldn't shift, I don't want her to be an easy target.

"Why not? Camille is going with Angelo." Syble said to me.

"This is my cue to exit. A nap sounds good to me too." Angelo gave Syble a wink and left for his room.

"Come on, we can talk about this upstairs." I told her.

"No. I'm not going anywhere until you explain why I can't come with you." She crossed her arms over her chest and looked at me, challenging me.

She is so cute. Most other wolves could not hold their gaze with me for very long, but she certainly was trying.

"We're in unfamiliar territory little mouse. We don't know who or what we will come up against. There might be a need to shift or fight and I will not have you out there when you can't shift. I can't protect you and fight at the same time."

"You don't need to shift to fight. You have three elements, no one would stand a chance at even coming near us." She said.

Oh, she's deliciously stubborn and it excited me. Challenging my Alpha made me want to dominate her into submission. She had absolutely no idea what she was doing to me.

"Would you like to discuss this further upstairs?" I stared at her intensely and could see the fighting spirit she had in her eye. She was not going to let this go and I'm going to enjoy every bit of it.

"Fine." She huffed, stood up and made her way to our room.

Once the door was open, I pushed her inside and pinned both her hands above her head against the wall. She let out a little squeal and I kissed her sweet lips rougher than I had intended until she moaned with pleasure.

"Now, let's talk about it. Shall we, little mate?" I asked.

"I want to go with you." She managed to say before I took her lips again.

"As your mate and Alpha, it's my job to protect you and keep you safe. I said no and yet you are still challenging me." I felt exhilarated and shoved my free hand up her shirt. My fingers squeezed her nipple and gave it a gentle tug. I could see the pupils in her beautiful hazel eyes dilate as she became aroused. She was enjoying this.

"As your mate, I should be able to go with you. I will not stay here while you go out there without me." She said and I couldn't help the low chuckle that escaped me.

I leaned in and bit on her ear, "oh my defiant little mate. Do you need a punishment?" I nearly purred in her ear and felt her body shiver. I threw her over my shoulder and went to my bag to grab what I was looking for. Two neck ties.

I dropped her on the bed and the devilish grin on her face was enough to let me know that she understood the mood I was in and it was completely provoked by her. I stalked over her like a possessed Alpha with carnal instinct.

She licked her lips and I relished the idea of seeing them wrapped around my cock. Syble reached up for the back of my neck, trying to pull me closer down onto her and I caught her wrist. She gave me a little pout that made my cock twitch with excitement.

"Now, little mate, since you insist on being stubborn and not listening to me. I'm going to have to teach you a little lesson." I leaned towards her lips and when she moved to kiss me, I pulled back and smiled at her frustration. My little mouse was aroused, and it thrilled me.

I took one of the neck ties and tied her wrist up above her head to the corner of the bed frame. She looked up at me wide eyed and curious. With the other tie in hand, I quickly secured the other wrist. I slowly kissed her face, neck and jaw. I peppered gentle kisses everywhere expect her lips, and she was growing a little frustrated each time I passed by her lips without kissing them.

"Tell me what you want?" I whispered.

"You. I want you."

"Will you stay in this room and be a good girl tonight?" I asked.

"I want to come with you."

"You won't be coming at all if you don't listen to me." I whispered as I roughly grabbed her between the legs over her jeans and listened to her sweet moans. Her hips pressed harder towards my hand with desire and I could feel her heat.

I proceeded to unbutton her jeans and pull them down with her panties. She was naked from the waist down and tried to close her legs by linking her ankles together. I couldn't help the grin on my face, this is going to be so much fun.

I climbed back on the bed, grabbed her ankles and pushed them up over her head. I held them together with one hand and looked down, she was beautifully and fully exposed. I slapped her ass twice, once on each cheek and she let out a squeal. I slowly trailed my fingers through her slit, rubbing and teasing from front to back. I pulled my hand away and she let out a little whimper before I brought my hand down spanking her sweet little ass again.

"Do you know what happens to naughty disobedient little wolves?" I asked.

"No." She said, and I spanked her again on each cheek.

"They get punished and teased." I trailed my hand across her glowing ass and bent down to lick her glistening flesh as she moaned. I was nearly seduced by the taste and scent of her.

"Yes." Her voice trembled.

"You like being teased?" I asked.

"Yes. No. Please, I need you." She squirmed with sensual tension.

"And I need you to listen to me." I said ripping her shirt down the middle and pushing her bra up. That sure got her attention. I continued to rub and caresses her, driving her crazy. She strained against the bondage trying to make more contact with me.

I grabbed a handful of her hair and gave it a tug to bring her face up and look into my eyes. I trailed my hands over her breasts and stopped to pinch her nipples. She let out a moan and her arousal was causing my own need to throb through me. 

"Do you want me to kiss and suck them?" I asked.

"Yes." She breathlessly moaned.

"Will you be good girl for me and stay here tonight?" I asked again.

When she didn't answer, I delivered a stinging slap to her pussy. A lust crazed moan left her lips and I bent over to lick her mouth for a moment, long enough to just tease her but not really kiss her. I sat up between her legs and removed my shirt, then my pants. Her eyes grew wide when she realized I wasn't wearing any underwear and my cock bobbed out of my pants.

"I will give this to you if you're a good girl." I said as I stroked it. I pushed her legs further apart and savored the sight of her juicy, pink pussy. She was mouthwatering wet, and I dipped a finger into her to tease her. I added another finger and moved them rhythmically. She started moaning my name and I gently bit down on her nipple.

"Please." She begged and I moved to taker her hardened little clit into my mouth. She tried to feverishly grind her hips on my face, and I pulled back grinning. 

"Will you give me what I want and listen to me?" I asked again and licked her juices up.

"YES! Anything! Please, anything Lukas!" Her head thrashed around, and she pulled at her bonds again. That was all I needed to make her submit. I plunged my cock in her silky wetness, sinking fully into her. I moved hard and fast with each thrust, grunting and cursing. Her tightness squeezed me, and I grit my teeth together to stop from exploding.

Two hours later, I lifted Syble's exhausted body from the bed and carried her to the bath. I sat in the bath with her as she rested her head on my chest. I soaped her up, washed her hair and enjoyed taking care of her. After the bath, we cuddled in the white fluffy hotel bath robes and watched a movie. It was a typical chick flick about a sparkling vampire who was in love with a human and some cheesy wolf pack.

I had dinner served to our room and enjoyed feeding Syble on my lap. She squirmed around a bit as her ass was still stinging and it kept her slightly aroused. When we finished dinner, we laid on the bed for a while, before I had to leave to meet Angelo and Camille.

I started getting dressed and I listened to her thoughts, she was thinking about following me after I left. I cocked my head and smiled at her feeling the urge to make her submit again.

"Do you need to use the restroom?" I asked.

"No, I'm fine."

"Excellent. Before you get any more ideas, little mouse... Just know, when I return, I will punish you again." I smiled as I picked up the neck ties and quickly tied her wrists to the bed again.
