Rebirth of The Vengeful Luna novel Chapter 18

CHARLOTTE...

I guess, I am doomed for a good reason. I don't know from where it appeared to me but the moment I looked into those eyes, a voice whispered in my ear.

A chant of love. That echoed in my veins, letting me know that I fall for the man I loathed the most. His obsessions. His possessive way of keeping me around. His darkness and the man himself.

To normal people, I might sound stupid for falling in love with this man who claims things only. But, no one would understand how my life moved.

This life is the gift of the Goddess. For long two years, I lived in remorse for having him as my mate and I was wrong. Too wrong that it killed me and now this is my second life.

The life I got to repent and avenge my mistakes. But in this, I never realised that I would fall for the man I hated the most. I would feel safe the most in those arms, which I used to be scared of.

I stared at him. Can't get enough of him. The more I look at him, the more I feel it's not enough and I need more. This man is the move of my life. My mate and I am willing to be marked by him.

Too much in that matter that if he wants to mark me now, I would definitely say 'yes'!

"Hey, what happened?" His deep voice rang in my ears as I blinked and felt a warm wetness on my cheeks.

I am crying?!

He frowned, raising his hands and wiped away the wetness from my cheeks. His brows furrowed. Jaw clenched tight. The green eyes darken with possession as his fingers find their way to my throat.

"Who makes you cry?" His tone darkened with thick huskiness. Surely, Damon was trying to take over. If I am not wrong, he is one step ahead in possessiveness.

I swallowed the lump in my throat, shaking my head. How could I say to you Augustus that no one made me cry? It's just my realisation of my mistakes and love.

I didn't know what I am doing but I just tiptoed and hugged him by his neck tightly.

I felt his body tighten. Maybe surprised but in the next second, his hands wrapped around my waist the same way as mine.

He is huge and my head only teaches to his shoulder even with my 5'7" height.

I felt his chin resting on my head as his hand caressed my back, soothingly. I felt so warm and tried to hide more in his arms.

"Tell me, what happened?" His voice now turned soft, but the worry in his words can be detected.

I shook my head. "I missed you," I said, moving away from the real matter I was here for.

Suddenly, I was picked up by him and he walked us toward the sofa in his office. He sat down with me on his lap as I kept my head on his shoulder, sniffing his dark coffee scent.

We both sat silent until I broke it, "I heard you were in an important meeting. Do I disturb you?" I asked.

He tilted his head, kissing my forehead. "Nothing is more important than you."

Even though I know that my presence here definitely ruining his precious time for important work. I couldn't help but felt a bunch of butterflies in my stomach as a pool of warmth rushed in me.

Oh Goddess, how I couldn't see his soft side for two Years? Well, it was always there but it was me who never really wanted to see it.

I lifted my head, watching him. There was a stress mark at the corner of his eyes. He is a very hardworking man. Not only as the Alpha king but as the Director of this huge company.

Cupping his both cheeks, I pressed a soft kiss on his lips. He didn't react or move and just let me kiss him.

When I moved away, his right brow raised, demanding an answer for my behaviour. Well, of course, these things are new to him because, for the last two years, I was totally the opposite of him.

There was a time I used to loathe him even if his shadow appear in front of my eyes. And now, I am always clinging to him as if I couldn't get enough of him.

I only smiled and shrugged. Suddenly, feeling a little shy as I started fidgeting with his necktie.

I couldn't feel his deep gaze on me. Slowly increasing my temperature and suddenly his hand once again circled my neck, raising my head.

"Stop blushing or I won't stop eating you. Then you can't complain like morning." His dark tone fell, making my pussy throb in need.

Clearing my throat I looked away from him, pouting a little. This man is sinful. I need to bring up the reason for my coming here or he would definitely make me forget things!

"Umm... I want something from you." Saying I looked into his eyes.

He nodded, permitting me, as I licked my dry lips.

"Augustus, I..." I looked down at my hands, hesitating. "I want my freedom."

The moment those words fell out of my lips, I heard his grey growl before I was pressed down on the sofa on my back with him hovering on top of me.

His eyes darkened as his fangs came out, Damon is on the edge.

"You only belong to me. Your every breath belongs to me. Your entire life belongs to me, so your freedom."

I gulped. His possession doesn't scare me anymore but it excites me because I know, no matter what, he won't hurt me.

I swallowed before nodding. "I am yours. I only belong to you. And I never meant to let me go by freedom."

"What do you think about that woman? Who comes to me now and then?" I asked about Alice.

I was a fool to not notice before but let's see if people around me did notice. If not, then I could at least cool my heart with that.

She blinked twice before saying. "Your best friend, Madam Milano?"

Best friend? My mood was ruined just with that form of mention.

"Yeah, that sort," I said, not wanting to scare her away.

She nodded. "She is Luna queen's best friend. Of course, she is good."

"Not lies, Lucinda. I order you to speak the truth." I said. I don't know why, but her words seem fake to me.

She kept her eyes on the ground and a little later, she spoke, "Luna knows best. Luna is kind and beautiful. But... Luna's friend seems to have some ulterior motive toward Alpha. She doesn't seem good for Luna."

Aha! Here she is. And that somewhat ruined my mood knowing that I was the only fool to not know what is happening around me! Fuck! Even the servants noticed!

But, I appreciate it. Moreover, servants ate used to stay behind and notice everything. So their observations most of the time are accurate. Just like this one.

I nodded, picking a slice of apple she cut for me. "You are right, Lucinda. She really does have..."

However, my words were forced to stop in the middle of a conversation with the ringtone of my latest iPhone.

And just by looking at it, my mood was ruined. With the name of evil, the evil called!

I dismissed Lucinda as she stayed far away and I received the call. "Hey..."

I tried to sound excited.

"Hey, sweetie. Hope I am not disturbing you. Are you with your mate?" Her over-sweet tone told me she knew my mate is not home. I replied anyway.

"No, he is out for pack's work."

"Well, I guess this is the chance for you to visit Adrian. He is a little upset these days. I am going to his company as there is a little function today. Why don't you join?"

Join the function? Well, this seems interesting.
