Luna's Deadly Deception: How She Made Her Alpha Pay novel Chapter 61

I barely got a word in before his wolf features appeared. A small smile popped on my face when I laid eyes on his tail and fangs.

"Well this is a surprise." I smiled, a teasing edge in my voice.

Haelor cleared his throat, a look of embarrassment in his eyes. I wasn't about to let this chance go by.

"I've never seen your tail before in human form." I slowly drawled the words, catching him by surprise when I grabbed his tail and examined it.

It was hard to miss how his body stiffened as I ran my fingers down the length. Haelor's face went as red as a tomato when my hand lightly grazed his ass.

"What kind of people were around you back at the barracks?" I asked, letting go of his tail.

"What do you mean?" He asked, the blush still evident on his face.

I shrugged. "I just find it surprising how you're still so shy after all this time."

"It's not what you think." He said without hesitation. "I've never touched other female wolves or talked to them. To be honest, the only woman I like talking to is you."

My eyes widened. "Really?"

"Yes," He nodded. "In fact, I—I wanted to be friends with you."

There was a barely visible hint of sadness in his eyes as he said those words. It made me wondered if there was something wrong with admitting them.

"I feel exactly the same." I smiled.

Just as I opened my mouth to speak, the door swung open to reveal Quentin. He pushed his way in, not bothering about the courtesy of knocking.

As soon as he saw me sitting in the arms of a topless Haelor, his frown immediately deepened. For a while, he didn't say anything, just alternated between looking at Haelor and then at me.

After a while, he let out a small scoff, his eyes fixed on Haelor. "Enjoy taking care of your body."

The taunt in his voice was very clear. When it came to size, Haelor was obviously the stronger Alpha.

Without saying a word, he protectively wrapped his arms around my waist. I resisted the urge to squeal, feeling the warmth of his arms around me.

"I could say the same to you, but I doubt there's a lot of work that can be done." Haelor retorted.

Quentin looked enraged but that didn't faze Haelor one bit. Haelor's eyes remained fixed on him as he went on.

"Say all you want but I refuse to let you be rude to Thea."

The two men were still glaring at each other, each of them sporting looks of disdain for each other. Lucian's gaze flicked to me ever so slightly and a small look of realization washed over him.

His eyes narrowed down on me just before he pushed the two men away from each other.

"I said that's enough. You can go at each other's throats some other time. Not now, understand?'

Quentin clicked his tongue and turned away without another word. Haelor's gaze lingered on the former for a while before he turned back to his dumbbells.

Lucian, who had been looking back and forth between them, turned to me and grabbed my hand. I felt my heart leap in my chest, as the thought that I'd somehow gotten on Lucian's bad side scared me just a little.

"Come with me." He said, gently leading me out of the room.

I dared to spare a glance back and noticed both men had their eyes on me. Quentin had a look of irritation on his face before he turned away.

I ignored the look on his face as Haelor's gaze bore intently at me. Without another word, I faced forward, letting my brother shutting the door behind us.

"Something tells me you're behind this." Lucian started, watching me with a hint of amusement in his eyes.

"Why do you always assume that?" I argued.
