Healing His Broken Luna.... Chapter 62

Chapter 18 - Desire

I was wearing a pretty cream colored dress that Odessa had loaned me, all eyes seemed to be on me. Most faces were warm and friendly, some were curious. Whispers from the other tables buzzed as speculation about me continued to grow.

I sat quietly at the breakfast table between Dimitri and Niko. Dimitri kept stealing sideway glances at me and his chair was inching closer and closer to me. I could feel his aura and the need to be closer to him was burning in my chest, like a pull. Niko and Alec were smiling at each other, their eyes were glazed over, I had a feeling they were mind linking. Elaina and the kitchen staff had prepared a big spread with sfougato, which is like a big Greek breakfast frittata. There was also, sausages, oatmeal, yogurt with honey, different breakfast breads and fresh fruit.

"So Raven, how did you sleep last night?" Niko asked with a big suggestive grin on his face and Alec burst out laughing.

"Fine, thank you." My response was short.

"I don't see any signs of special bed bugs biting." Alec said laughing.

"Two grown men cackling like silly schoolgirls." Odessa rolled her eyes at Niko and Alec.

"Pay no attention to them. I don't think we've been properly introduced, I'm Spiro, the Delta and this is my mate Adanna." He smiled.

"It's very nice to meet you." I said.

"Oh, your accent is lovely." Adanna told me with a Greek accent of her own. "Where are you from?"

"Western Canada." I responded without even thinking. The table went quiet, Dimitri and Niko exchanged curious looks. The silence was broken when Elaina came in and greeted me.

"Kalimera, it's so wonderful to have you with us. Please eat, eat." She said in that same thick accent as Adanna. "Whatever your favorite Greek food is, you tell me, and I will make it for you." She was an older plump lady; her hair was pulled back in a bun and she was definitely in charge of the kitchen.

"She likes moussaka." Niko chimed in.

"Wonderful! I will prepare some for dinner tonight." She smiled at me.

"I like her already." Rae said to me. Rae was always thinking with her stomach.

I wished her a good morning back. "Kalimera! The sfougato is amazing, thank you Elaina." I said.

"Ahh good, good, I'm glad you like it. It's the Alpha's favorite." She beamed at him. "I've been making it for him this way since he was a little pup." She said proudly.

She spoke of Dimitri with such fondness in her voice and had been feeding him most of his life. It was hard to believe she was talking about the same beast that killed his father and first mate. These were nagging thoughts I would get to the bottom of.

We finished breakfast and Dimitri leaned into me, "we need to talk." His breath was warm on my ear and sent tingles down my back. We headed back to his bedroom and I was hoping to have some privacy with my phone. First things first, I needed to check on Leo and Rocky, make sure Angela was okay.

Then, I needed to call my dad and get as far away from Eros as I could. Rae whimpered at the thought of leaving but I wasn't even sure that my mate wanted me. This isn't how mates are supposed to work; but I was a LaRue, and my family seemed to have its challenges when it comes to mates and rejection.

"Raven." Dimitri's voice pulled me from my thoughts. "What are you thinking?" He asked as if he could feel my anxiety building.

"I need to get back to the dorm and get my clothes and passport."

"I have a man watching your dorm, it's not safe, Eros' thugs have already been there. I can have him bring back your things tonight."

"What about Rocky and Leo? I need to call them." I said.

"Your phone is on the dresser." He said and sat in the chair by the bed. "Don't give away your location. If they want to join you, I can have my men pick them up at the Acropolis and safely escort them here."

I had hoped for some privacy, but I didn't want to argue when I could be on the phone with Rocky now. I had four missed calls from her. I called her back but got her voicemail, I left a message.

"Hi, it's me, I know things got crazy last night but I'm okay and I'm with a-a friend. Call me when you get a chance, bye."

I dialed Leo next, I had two missed calls from him. "Hey Leo, I'm calling to check on you and Rocky. Hope Angela is doing well too. I'm with a friend in a safe place. Call me back please."

I paced the room for a minute. I debated on calling Karla, but I didn't want to worry her, there was still two more days of the Dionysus festival so she wouldn't miss me for a few more days. I thought about Kosta, my dad trusted him, but I wasn't sure I wanted my dad to know yet.

"So, I'm just a friend am I?" Dimitri questioned, obviously he was listening to the messages I left.

"Isn't that what I am to you?" I shot back, remembering the way he introduced me to his sister.

He moved at a speed faster than I could register, picking me up and tossing me back on his bed. "Let's see ... what are you to me?" He said out loud as he crawled on top of me on the bed.

His hand roamed up my leg and to my thigh sending shockwaves of pleasure to my core. It moved slowly to the back of my thigh, caressing me as if he had done this hundreds of times to me. He pinned my wrists above my head with his free hand. I could smell his scent coming back and it was driving me crazy, the herbs were wearing off. I took deep breaths greedily inhaling his scent.

I ached for his kiss again and he leaned in to tease me. "Tell me, friend, tell me what you feel when I do this."

He moved to my neck and started kissing it gently, then licking it, then kissing and sucking more aggressively. I let out a moan when his teeth grazed my marking spot. My breathing was heavy, I had never experienced anything like this before. Heated pleasure bubbled down below, and I could feel his thigh resting between my legs. I had no control over my own body, without thinking I was grinding myself against his thigh. Almost begging for relief, begging for his touch.

Dimitri made his way back up to my face and inhaled deeply. "You smell intoxicating little friend." He liked this. He was enjoying my body's response to his. His eyes gazed down at my chest and I could feel his desire.

He took my lips hungrily, kissing me. I moaned into his mouth and he deepened the kiss. His hand roamed up the back of my thigh to my ass and pulled me closer to him. I wanted to touch him, to run my fingers through his hair and over his muscles.

My cell phone started ringing and Dimitri rolled off me. I wasn't sure if I was relieved or disappointed at being interrupted. I could hear Rae whimper. I looked at the screen and saw that it was Kosta calling me. Dimitri gave me a quizzical look and I answered it on speaker phone.

"Kalimera Kosta." I answered.

"Hello, I was checking to make sure you're okay. I heard the young lady from your dormitory was found." He said.

"That's wonderful news! I'm doing good, thank you." I said.

"Yes, but listen to me carefully. Do not tell anyone where you're at. There's some trouble in the city and you should remain right where you are. Enjoy some sfougato and lay low until it's sorted. Understand?" He said.

"Yes, I understand." I said and he disconnected.

"I need to have Niko get in touch with his Uncle tonight. Kosta works independently and may have other information. He knows where you're at." Dimitri said.

"How do you know that Kosta knows where I'm at?"

"He told you to enjoy some sfougato. Elaina makes it every Saturday. Kosta used to be the beta of this pack." He smiled.

"Kosta must know that Eros is looking for me." I said out loud.

I wondered if I should call my father, but I knew he would make me come home. I couldn't imagine leaving my mate but then again, I wasn't sure what was happening in that department either. Most wolves would have mated and marked in the first twenty-four hours. He had found me last week and stayed away from me.

"Why don't you want a mate?" I decided to ask.

"It's complicated." Was all he said.

"Well it's about to get more complicated because I need to leave." I said.

"You're not going anywhere." He growled.

"Did you really kill your first mate?" I figured I was going for it, may as well ask.

"I never had a first mate; you're my first mate. And the answer is no, I didn't kill her." He replied.

"So why don't you want me then?" I demanded.

"Damn-it woman! I'm fighting very hard here not to bend you over and mount you. OF COURSE, I WANT YOU!" Rae howled with excitement at his confession of raw desire. I was a little taken back but excited as well.
