The Lycan King and His Mysterious Luna Chapter 84
The food was brought out and the smell was amazing. Seafood gumbo, sausage jambalaya, crawfish, crab legs, spicy boiled shrimp, and so much other food that my mouth was watering. I have no idea how the cooks managed to prepare that much gumbo for all the people living here, but I’m glad they did. Gumbo is one of my favorite foods. There was also potato salad, a chef salad, and some fruits laid out for dessert. Eating this much rich food, we didn’t need to have any cakes or pies, though she keeps a stash of lemon cakes for me that nobody knows about.
After all of the dishes are placed onto the table, I stand up and move to my own seat so that I can eat. The entire hall is quiet as everyone digs in and starts to eat. Moans of delight from how amazing the food tastes is all that is heard in the vast dining hall. I’m on my third bowl of gumbo, when I can feel someone staring at me. When I look up, Alex is staring at me with a smirk on his face. I’m confused, so I look around the table and see that everyone else is eating, so I didn’t miss someone speaking to me. I decide to mind-link him just in case.
“Your majesty, may I help you?” I ask him with a playful hint to my voice.
“Maybe later tonight, but for now I am just admiring my Luna Queen.” I let out a low giggle.
“You’re making me nervous watching me eat. Aren’t you hungry?”
“What I am hungry for is not on this table.”
“I suggest you eat now, and I may be persuaded to allow you to have some dessert in your bed tonight.” I smirked back at him and cut the mind-link. His smirk turned into a full smile, and I went back to eating. Tonight, dinner lasted a bit longer than usual. Everyone was relaxed after the wonderful meal, and nobody wanted to go to bed just yet. We all sat around talking and laughing, and it felt good to do that for once. The full moon was approaching quickly, and we needed to find Bellevue or at least just find where he is keeping Tabitha’s body before then, so that we don’t have another war.
A couple of hours passed, and we all decided it was time to head to our rooms. The table had been cleared long ago, and the staff had gone to bed. Alex and I walked in comfortable silence up the stairs to our floor, saying good night to the Gamma and Beta couples as they reached their own floors. Everyone seemed to be in a good mood tonight and the atmosphere seemed to not be so melancholy as it has been lately. Once in our room, I walk over to the balcony and open the door letting in the night air. Living in Louisiana has its perks as far as weather goes but it also has its downside. The night air this time of year can feel so good, but mosquitoes can be hell. Thankfully the barrier protecting the perimeter of the castle that the witches put up after Bellevue escaped, keeps everything out including those pesky bastards.
As I walk out onto the balcony, a feeling of calm comes over me breathing in the air and looking up at the moon. Alex walks up behind me and wraps his arms around my waist, and I lean back into him. We stand like that for I don’t know how long but I wouldn’t mind staying that way forever with him. After a few more minutes, I walk out of his arms and head back inside our bedroom and he follows me, closing the balcony doors and locking them.
“How are you feeling babe?” he asks me.
“Anxious. Angry. Helpless. What are we going to do? I can’t let them take you to their side. I won’t allow them to use you in their sick game. How do we stop them? There has to be something we can do. Are we overlooking the solution?”
“Freya calm down my love. We will figure something out. I don’t want you stressing out about any of this. Look, if the worst happens, I will need you to have a level head. They will be looking to you for help and I will need you to bring me back from whatever they do to me. Remember that you are the only one strong enough to even attempt to stop me. Those dark witches and Tabitha are not strong enough to hurt me, but you are, and if it comes to that then that is what you will do. Remember, our peoples’ lives, and safety are our main priority. Nothing else matters, not even me. You can’t kill me so keep that in mind. It will hurt to hurt me, but I’m giving you permission to do whatever it takes to stop me. I’m hoping that whatever spell they use will be only strong enough to weaken my human side and my wolf and Lycan will fight to not hurt you.”
“The thought of hurting you for any reason hurts my heart. I look at our friends, and I am jealous because their relationships are going way better than ours. They met and got to spend time and have fun with their mates, even David and Shayla, but we seem to have hurdle after damn hurdle thrown in front of us.”
“I know. As soon as we handle this crisis, we can go back to just focusing on us. I promise.”
“Okay baby. Well, I don’t want to think about it anymore tonight. We should get dressed for bed.”
“I believe someone said that I could have dessert in bed tonight.” I smile at him as I walk into the walk-in closet.
“I don’t recall saying that was a definite yes. I’m deciding whether or not you deserve dessert. We don’t want you bouncing off the walls due to too much sugar so close to bed time.” Turning my back to him, I shimmy out of my clothes and put on my yellow silk spaghetti strap nightgown, then pick up my clothes and put them into the hamper. A low growl leaves his lips and I turn just in time to see that his eyes have turned black letting me know his wolf is present. I simply smirk at him.
He walks swiftly into the walk-in and picks me up over his shoulder, then leaves the closet and walks to the bed tossing me onto the bed. Before I can sit up properly, his clothes are gone, and his claws are out. Slowly I back up to the headboard as he climbs onto the bed stalking me. I’m not afraid, but I am curious as to what his wolf has planned. When I can’t move anymore, he pulls my legs until I am lying flat on my back and using his claws, he slices open my nightgown carefully. My breathing becomes heavy, and I feel my own wolf come forth. I know without a mirror that my eyes are black as well now. The scent of my arousal is heavy in the air, and I watch as his eyes grow darker with lust as he sniffs the air.
“I am going to teach you to play games with me, mate.”
