The Perfect Luna

He kept looking at her and breathing hard. Panting almost. And she saw his eyes glowing just for a moment there, knowing what it meant.

“There is a big difference, Riannon!” the Alpha looked at her with menace in her eyes,“ Roxanne is my mate! I can’t help it!”

“And he was a lycan king. I can’t help it either,” she said, “No one says no to him, Brayden. Not even you. Not to mention that MY wolf was in pain, and he helped to distract her and took care of both of us better than…”

He groaned painfully and then grabbed the whole massive desk and threw it at the wall, clearing the space between them.

“You are my wife!” he growled, “You were supposed to come to me if you needed comfort!”

“Really, Brayden? After everything?” she cocked her brow up at him, “It’s like you don’t know me at all!”

He closed his eyes, trying to steady his breathing. Deep inside he knew that she was right and that he needed to fix that, not make it worse. Threatening and force would never work with someone like Riannon as she was an Alpha herself. He knew that far too well. This would only push her further away from him. And now, knowing that she had been with another and… enjoyed that.., that another man had been her consolation while he was too entranced into his omega mate, was making him crazy mad.

His chest tightened. He couldn’t be losing Riannon. His perfect wife. His perfect Luna.

She was his. He wanted her back. He wanted to fix all that and make her forget about his mistakes and about that other man who was making moves while he was distracted.

They had been together for years and he knew everything that she liked. They had many quarrels in the past and he always found a way to appease her. He would find such a way now too.

Starting with the obvious…

He had made just a few steps in her direction, but she stood up from her chair and walked to the window, trying to avoid the pieces of her broken desk scattered all over the floor. She knew that he wanted to caress her, to try and seduce her and make her forget about everything. As if he forgot about one of their anniversaries and not betrayed the bond that they both chose.

Brayden slowly shifted in her direction, standing behind her and wrapping his arms instead of her relaxing into his arms, he felt her trying to struggle and get out.

“Ri, let’s finish all this,” he murmured in her ear, “You know I love you. You wear my mark. You are my wife, my Luna… I am sorry. For everything.”

She did not know how to get rid of him. Just the thought of him touching her repulsed her. Even being this close she felt like she was betraying Gideon. She knew she would have to endure living with her husband a few more days, but sleeping with him was out of the question.

“Brayden,” she tried to remove his hands but he attempted to keep her in place instead,“ Let me go.”

“I missed you so much,” he ignored her completely as he lifted her in his arms and went in the direction of the bed, “We need to reconcile. And I am not taking no for an answer.”
