Alpha of the Shadows (Lucianna) novel Chapter 8

Jacob’s POV

What the fuck was I doing?

Save my Gamma the trouble, my ass!

Your Beta got into your head. Ha! Thank him for me. My wolf laughed and I hated how he could see through my subconscious.

He might be right but there was no way in hell that I would accept this. How could I stoop this low?

“What? I’m not a flirt!” Lucianna burst and my jaw tightened together with my grip on the steering wheel.

She is. She is! My head screamed.

You sound to be persuading yourself hard there, my wolf laughed again. He sure was enjoying this!

I growled at him in my head, but my tension made me snarled loudly and it reached my mate’s ears.

Lucianna gasped at the back of the car and I froze. Did I scare her? Fuck!

“D-Did you just…” her voice is low, shaky, and I don’t know why but panic is starting to build in my chest.

What? Panic?

No. No.

I cleared my throat to swallow a huge lump I feel like stuck in it. Why would I care if I scared her or whatever? This shows just how weak she really was, right? I only snarled, not even directing it to her and yet--

Fuck. Why was she not continuing her words?

Sighing, I took a glimpse of her in the rear-view mirror. Her hands are crossed in her chest, like hugging her body while her eyes were looking at the window. I could see a faint redness on her cheeks, was she feeling hot? That dress looked chilling though.

Suddenly, the warmth of her skin crosses my mind. That bareback dress was dangerous, I almost lose my cool earlier.

I sighed again, feeling my member reacting at the replay that going on in my head. Her scent mixed with mine, her soft and silky skin, ugh, it was addicting enough without the need of a bond between us.

The silence was killing me. What was going on in her head? I couldn’t see any emotion from her shadow either, it was frustrating.

Oh, fuck. I’ve been thinking nothing but her! This was not good. I don’t want her to be my mate, but there was no escaping this, shit--

“Um, a-are we there yet?” she break the silence and I almost jumped. Fucking hell, what was happening to me?

Clearing my throat, “Yeah.” I said shortly, trying my best not to breath because the scent of her mouth is lingering inside this closed car. Sweet, tangling. Not to mention the smell of her body that has been bothering my senses since I don’t remember when.

I needed to get her to my house quickly. This fucking distance was killing my control and patience. I was not weak to give in to this mate bond, no.

I stepped on the gas and I heard her gasp behind me. Was that too fast?

Fuck, stop caring about her thinking and feeling, Jacob!

Lucianna’s POV

I swear I felt my skin trembled from the way he snarled at me. I guess he hated it when someone opposes his thinking, huh?

But I was not a flirt!

But again, I don’t want to do things that he doesn’t like. If he looks for obedience in a woman, I could be just that, right?

Though its far from who I am. Hah! Nevermind!

I sighed.

I couldn’t mess this up, I had been waiting to find my mate and I promised to myself that I would do everything to be a perfect partner. If he thinks I was a flirt, then I would just need to prove I was not.

Where did he got those things, I wonder? First, he accused me for being weak. Second, I was a flirt. Was I giving such impressions that he sees me that way?

I had not talked to any guy here since I met him, right? Well, his Gamma, but did I flirt with Harley? I didn’t.

Maybe Jacob was a jealous type? Possessive? Maybe he doesn’t want me to get close to any guy?

But he was the one who sent Harley to send me to his home.

Sigh. This was frustrating.

Finally, we made a stop and I looked outside the window. His house was not that far from the Hall but we passed through a lot of trees so I was guessing its in the midst of the forest.

I looked at Jacob’s back and noticed he was not getting out of the car. Should I wait for him to open the door for me or not?

Okay, Lucianna. Don’t be a princess, just go out of the car and--

My thoughts halted when the door suddenly open wide and Jacob was standing outside, holding it for me.

Did he just used his inhuman speed just to open the car door?

I looked up to his face and he was not meeting my eyes, he was looking somewhere, anywhere, but not to me.

He looked annoyed and my lips are still parted from being shock.

“What are you waiting for?” he said, rolling his eyes and looking at me. “Get out of the damned car.”

I pouted from how he sounded rude, hoping out of the car quickly. And here I was thinking that he looked cute and sweet for what he did.

“I need to go back to the Hall. I will just show you to your room.” he said as he closed the car door and started walking to the house.

All I want was a family.

So why am I hearing him say this? Rejection was not an option to the mate bond, but it still hurts to think that my fated one were saying these things.

I’m dying!!! my wolf crawled and cried inside me. I want to crawl and cry, too, but I was out of my mind right now.

“I don’t--” Jacob didn’t continue his words and his next move made my eyes pop out of its socket!

“Mmft!”

His lips slammed on mine in a sudden, claiming my lips for a rough kiss!

Jacob was kissing me! My mate was fucking kissing me in a hard way but what I felt was the electrifying sensation that comes to me the moment his lips touched mine!

I moaned when his tongue found its way inside my mouth and I heard Jacob groaned loudly, pushing himself closer to me!

His hand on my back grabbed on my waist, gripping on my skin tightly while the other wend on my nape, tilting my head to the side for easy access to my lips!

Oh, damn, this feels so good!

The kiss was getting deeper, rougher, sweeter and all I could think was to ask for more! I may be a hypocrite to love his kiss just when he told me he doesn’t want me-- but I couldn’t fool myself! I wanted this! I longed for this! This was my first kiss!

Our lips parted for a gasp of breath but only for a second because he continued kissing me again. My hands travelled on its own, embracing his neck, looking for support because my knees started to lose its bone.

Oh, God! Oh, God!

Jacob suddenly pulled me up and on instinct, I jumped on his torso and crossed my legs on his body. He carried me with such formidable strength and I hold onto him more.

“Fuck.” he whispered when his lips left mine but found its way to my neck, sucking on my skin hungrily! I felt the same wanting… I do! I want more!

My back felt the cold glass table when Jacob laid me there, hovering over me. I felt him grind his hips, and I moaned from the sensation that I felt!

He was hard! Rock hard! And I could feel how wet I was inside my underwear!

The way he grind his hips makes indirect contact of his manhood to my wetness. I couldn’t help but moan louder each time his movement hit a spot where it makes me tremble from the pleasure.

Even with clothes on, our lower parts feels so hot, that its warmth were exiting the fabric.

Jacob cursed again, and again, pushing his manhood more to my sensitive area before pulling himself away from me.

I was huffing, loss of breath, as I sat up and looked at him with hooded eyes.

What happened?

“W-Why did you stop?” I said, catching my breath.
