Her Possessive Alpha

Chapter 14: FOURTEEN

Patient Ray

“How was your run? You guys came back pretty late today,” Ray welcomed as Ethan and Ava

stepped into the living room.

“Yes, we had to wait for the repairman to finish up, there was some work still needed to be done

this morning.”

“Ok,” of course, Ray would buy any story without even bothering to question. It was one of the

reasons why he still wasn’t aware of the fact that his betrothed carried another wolf’s mark, Ethan

thought irritably.

“And how’s my precious Luna?” Ray beamed a smile in Ava’s direction before standing up from the

couch to give her a welcoming hug.

“I’m fine Ray,” she said, pulling away from his embrace. “Umm... Ray, can we talk upstairs for a

bit?”

Ethan stared at Ava; he didn’t expect that she’d be willing to tell Ray so soon. This was one of the

things he loved about his bunny; never a day did her sense of responsibility ever leave her, he still

found it strange that she did what she did on her birthday night.

Ray looked puzzled. She’d greeted him coldly and now she had something she wanted to talk to

him about privately? Why was she acting so strange today?

“Is anything the matter Ava?”

“Nothing, I just need to speak with you in private, that’s all.”

“Ok then dear, let’s go upstairs.”

**********

Ava had been standing in front of Ray in the room for over ten minutes, still no words had come

out. What was wrong with her today? Why did she find it easier to tell Ethan things than him? Maybe

it’s because Ethan already had a hint of things that were going on and it just felt easier to tell him the

rest. But how come Ray had no clue? Wasn’t he a man wolf? How come he couldn’t perceive the scent

of another male on his intended mate? Was this another weakness of his?

“What’s the matter Ava?” Patient Ray was still waiting, his brows creased.

“Umm… n-nothing,” she stuttered. “I was just worried about the ceremony tomorrow that’s all.”

“Aww, I can totally relate dear,” Ray said understandingly, guiding her to the bed, the worry in his

eyes reduced as soon as she told him. “Why didn’t you tell me you were nervous about it sooner?”

“I’m sorry, I was nervous about telling you too.”

“Don’t worry love, we’ll get you ready in no time. I remember how daunting it was for me too;

sometimes I questioned myself if I was truly worthy to take on such on assignment, but I had to

because it was my duty that I was born into. You on the other hand, were chosen, and it makes me feel

as if you were luckier; you had the chance to walk away from it all if you wanted to…”

Ava looked up at him then, she didn’t know she could do that if she wanted to.

“...but no one’s ever done that sort of crazy stuff before,” Ray continued. “The Luna is a very

desired and envied position by many, not many are chosen but you were, count yourself lucky Ava.”

Ava smiled but her true thoughts remained hidden. Did Ray think he was saying all these things to

make her feel better? If then, he was definitely failing at it.

There was a knock on the door which Ray softly responded to; the door opened and then Ethan

poked his head in, much to Ava’s relief.

“Sorry for disturbing your talk. Is this a bad time?”

“No, not at all,” Ray beamed at him. “We were just discussing something important.”

Even if Ray didn’t let him know what they were discussing, Ethan didn’t need anyone to tell him

that she hadn’t told him yet.

“Sorry for disturbing once again, I just remembered that bunny hasn’t had anything to eat since

morning. I just made us some pancakes. Would you like to come down and have some?”

“Oh, look at me! My beta doing my job for me,” Ray chuckled then turned to her. “I’m sorry, Ave, I

thought you and Ethan must have eaten something outside since it took so long for you to come back.”

“No worries,” Ava smiled at him in assurance. Food was the least of her problems now.

“So will you come down once you’re done?” Ethan asked her again.

“Let her go now,” Ray answered for her. “We can finish our discussion later babe.”

Ava let out a sigh, sometimes it didn’t feel as if she was the one in control of her own life.

“Ok, then let’s go.”

***BEFORE BEDTIME***

Long hours had passed, but yet she still hadn’t told Ray anything. Throughout tomorrow she

wouldn’t have the chance to; it was either now or never she thought. Ray came out of the bathroomContent bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

then with only a towel wrapped around his body, she was dressed in a night dress which covers but

makes a man want to look for more underneath; her nipples peak and push against the lace, outlining

the shape of her breasts. The flowy bottom settling around her hips while she seated on the bed. Any

man in his right mind wouldn’t be able to resist her in that sexy night dress, Ray couldn’t before but with

time he’d gotten used to the fact that it was hands off to whatever it was underneath those clothing’s

until after they were joined.

She wondered something; would their joining make her forget about her feelings for Lucas? This

was one of the questions she’d wished Luna Mitchell was alive to answer. Her sudden death had

shaken the whole pack, and Ray had to take over the leadership earlier than expected, it was

challenging for him at first; most of the time he was clueless on the right decisions to make but thank

the goddess for Ethan. The three of them had moved out of the packhouse to be out of reach of the

endless number of wolves who always turned to their Alpha for endless number of issues. When Ray

started battling sickness because of the change, the pack’s healer suggested a change of environment

for him, and so the two of them decided to move with him. Although she missed the pack house and

the bantering noise every night, she did enjoy the serenity and peace from this new residence.

The bed dipped and then she turned and saw Ray had gotten on the bed after wearing his night

clothes, laying with his back turned away from her. She looked at him and tried to observe his features

the way she’d done with Lucas. He was handsome, she wouldn’t lie; and he had a good body too. But

what was wrong? Why didn’t she want him? Why did she want Lucas instead? Why was it that no

matter how hard he tried, he never satisfied her? Was it because she wasn’t trying too? Maybe if she

tried a bit harder, maybe if she tried as hard as she could, then she would be able to feel something?

How were the other Luna’s able to feel something for their betrothed? This was just too puzzling for

her, but Ray was going to be the man she would spend the rest of her life with, so she had to make it

work. It would get to a point that she wouldn’t be able to keep refusing him her body. Once they were

joined tomorrow, her body would belong to him and him alone, to do as he pleases with her, to make

her his. She had to make sure it was what she wanted. Tonight, she was still a low-ranking omega, but

tomorrow, she would become the Luna to her Alpha with a duty to please. Tomorrow, all the

moonlighters will gather to celebrate her joining as the third leader to the moonlight trio; after the Alpha

and the Beta. She still had a choice to walk away from it all like Ray said, even though everyone would

think her crazy for it. She still had a choice before tomorrow, but first, she wanted to make sure it was

what she wanted.

“Ray?”

“Hmm?” He turned. Of course, he wasn’t sleeping, that night dress she wore would drive sleep

away from any tired man’s eyes.

“I want to sleep with you; I want us to have sex tonight.”
