Awakening Luna: Darkness Holding the Light by Majie novel Chapter 5

CHAPTER FIVE

ADELIA

Lewis’ magnetic eyes stared at me as if he wanted to imprison my soul. He lightly stated his offer, as if it was but a small matter to him.

On the other hand, I could not believe what I heard.

In my visions, I knew that he did not have any mate. Nobody knew what happened to his mate. Did she die early on? Or did he not find her in the first place? No one had a clue. But there was no question that many women came after him, and they were all badly rejected, with some even committing mistakes that caused them their lives. ‘I was aware of that. That’s why I didn’t even think of me becoming his mate….’ I pondered.’ To think that he will directly offer to mark me….’

Lewis was observing me for a while before his eyes slowly narrowed. “Hhmm? Can’t bear to be marked by another?” He asked me in a gentle voice yet I almost jumped in fear.

I gripped my hands and said in a resolute voice, “No.” In my visions, I gave Alec all of my heart and soul. I did everything in my power to support and protect him… only to be stabbed in my heart before he absorbed my wolf. That future, I could never let it happen. So I would do everything in my power to prevent it… which necessarily includes removing my treacherous mate from my life. “From the moment I decided to avoid him, I already decided to cut any relationship with him, “I decisively told Lewis. “It’s just… I was surprised by your offer,” I sincerely told him. “I didn’t expect that you would be willing to make me your mate.” Lewis merely raised a brow and did not reply to my statement. Instead, he asked me, “So what is your answer? Think carefully… because I will not ask you a second time.” I licked my dry lower lip and before telling Lewis with an unwavering tone, “I agree.” “…but,” I started to say but was not able to finish because Lewis reached out for me. Without a warning, I felt his arm wrapped around my middle, pulling my body close to him. And before I could react, I felt his hot breath on the side of my neck… the place where my mark would be placed. “Wait!” I hurriedly said as my heart started to grow more panicked. “There are no waits and buts. It’s either you agree to be mine or not,” Lewis softly said. Each time he spoke, I felt his hot breath on my skin, making it tingle. His body was pressed closely on mine, making my face turn beet red because of embarrassment. “And since you have agreed, then let’s not waste time and get over it,” he whispered on my skin before I felt his teeth gently grazed on my neck. I was thoroughly flustered. Lewis stayed still for a few seconds as if he was giving me some time to stop him. But even

when my mind was bewildered with the sudden situation, my heart had already decided that in this lifetime, I would stand on Lewis’ side. And so I did not move an inch and let Lewis do what he wanted to do.
