*Leroy POV*
The boys are all pumped up, ready to whip the other side but my mind is not here. They are all disappointed when I chose to warm the bench after half-time. They will have to play the rest of the game without me because I can’t concentrate. I am still trying to make sense of it all when the game ends and Marcus comes to join me.
“Who is the girl?”
I look blankly at him, but I know what he is asking.
“Which one?”
“Second from the left. The one giving us nothing?” he points out.
I knew he was referring to her but I still can’t help but flinch at the confirmation.
“Why?”
I don’t even lift my eyes to look and try my best to sound uninterested. I knew the moment I saw her in those tight clothes that she will turn heads and I don’t like it. Sky is continuously stirring and growling inside. I am doing my best to suppress him.
“Look at her, man. She’s bootylicious!” Marcus insists while seductively licking his lower lip and making an hourglass shape with his hands. That’s when my wolf goes ballistic.
I don’t know why his response is raising such a strong feeling on both of us. Sky is so pumped up; he is ready to pounce at him for that remark. Maybe it’s because I have been watching her closely since she sneaked up on me in the woods last week. She is definitely not the average slave girl she wants everyone to believe. Those big clothes she wears all the time cover a goddess, and I think it is intentional to sell the average girl lie she is portraying. Unfortunately, I have already seen her, all of her and I can’t get that image off my mind. I’m no freak. I don’t even look at the Omega’s like that, but she sneaked on me first. I returned the favor when I found her swimming in the dam a few days later. Like a fish, so entuned with nature, so peaceful and free, and that body, simple gorgeous!
I have also overhead our geek teacher saying the experiments she does and the sums she masters are way above our senior year level. I am really curious to know her end game, but my wolf is acting really weird.
I snap back to find Marcus studying me. I give him a response.
“She’s Rose’s relative. She’s off limits.”
“She’s not her relative, she is a nameless slave,” he persists. I don’t know why he bothered to ask when he already knew the answer.
“Off limits, Marcus.” I must put my foot down because I know how he is with the women.
He looks at me in disbelief before his lips curve into a smile with mischief written all over him.
“Holly s**t! You are nailing her, aren’t you? Does Rose know about this?”
“She is a slave, and I don’t owe Rose anything.”
I don’t know why he is bringing Rose up because he is my best friend and knows better. Yes, Rose has been my friend for as long as I can remember and she writes ridiculous fantasies about being my future Luna on the school tabloid, but none of that is close to the truth.
“Are you tapping her then?”
“No, Marcus. She’s still off limits.”
Marcus I’m not impressed with the command but I am his Alpha, he can’t disobey.
I leave the field already irritated by the comments from the guys. I can’t forbid them from lusting on her without raising suspicions.
It’s my luck that I catch a glimpse of her walking out of the bathrooms. She and I have never spoken but I can tell that she has been avoiding me, hence my stunt during the physics lesson. I grab her arm and quickly pull her into my locker.
“What…Your majesty?”
She unclenches her tiny fists and looks away when she realizes that it’s me. She is really surprised and confused by my actions when I trap her between the wall and my body. I can hear her heart racing. The truth is I am confused by my own actions too.
“You sneaked up on me last week,” I accuse and watch her open and closes her mouth while my hands snake around her tiny waist.
In my head I am screaming “What the f**k it this!”
“I…I.. was lost, I swear I was not sneaking on you,”she stammers but her scarlet cheeks are giving her away.
“You are a bad liar, you know that? Did you like what you saw?”
She frantically shakes her head, but can’t look at me in the eyes.
“You didn’t like what you saw?”
“I did…”
She quickly shakes her head and retract her confession.
“No, not like that.”
“It’s not like what, nameless girl?”
She looks at me, shocked that I know her name or lack of.
“Kiss me.”
My commands adds to her shock, her eyes open wide.
“Your Majesty?”
I am as shocked by my command as she is, but an irresistible hunger overwhelms me as soon as the words escape my lips.
“Kiss me or I will tell Rose that you are seducing me.”
She frantically shakes her head. Rose, like her mother, acts like a saint around me, but I know how cruel they are to their Omega’s and to her. There was a time I was considering her being my Luna despite the mate bond, but I have seen the side of her she has been trying very hard to hide.
“Are you going to kiss me, nameless girl?”
She nods her cute head and tiptoes to reach my lips. I guess she is really terrified of her master. Its quite clear that she has never kissed anyone because I must literally grab her arms and wrap them around my neck before satisfying my curiosity. She is, unfortunately, much more than I expected. I don’t go around kissing girls, let alone slaves, but this unrestrained pull is not normal. I don’t even know if she is kissing me back because of my title or my threat or because she wants to.
She is all flushed and breathless by the time I manage to restrain myself.
“You will no longer be part of that cheerleading squad,” my hoarse voice is enough to tell me that I went too far. My command is stupid and possessive, but I can’t help it. I don’t think I can restrain Sky from attacking the next i***t who ogles her.
She swallows her saliva and runs out without acknowledging my command.
.
A week later, I’m still hung up on that kiss. I doubt it’s the best I ever had, definitely needs a lot of work but I can’t stop thinking about it. What has gotten into me?
I am convinced that she is avoiding me when I don’t see her for two whole weeks, yet we share two lessons a week. I don’t even see her when I decide to visit Rose at her home, yet she stays there.
Three weeks later, our B team is playing, and I spot her. The see through crop top does nothing to hide her gifted bosom, and tiny waist. That half centimeter cloth they call a skirt is sticking on her like a glove, outlining her round shaped butt, not to mention the firm juicy thighs. She is the definition of a s*x appeal. The boys are ogling despite her doing her usual minimal movement.
I am fuming by the time the whole thing is done. I follow her to the bathrooms and slam the door shut behind me.
“Your Majesty?”
I don’t know why she is startled when she openly disobeyed me. I roughly grab her chin, forcing her to look at me.
“What did I say to you about cheerleading?”
“I…I.I..It’s compulsory, Your Majesty.”
My anger completely dissipates the moment our eyes meet. I know that she is a slave who must follow even the stupidest of instructions, yet I can’t let off this one or I will end up a murderer.
“I don’t care. Find an excuse. I know that you are smart enough to come up with one.”
She nods before my hungry lips meet hers. She gasps before wrapping her arms around my neck and kiss me back. Like a spell, my tongue parts her lips and explores her mouth. Now this is amazing! It is when my spear awakens that I realize that grabbing her butt while pulling her closer to me was a big mistake. I can’t do this. It’s stupid, reckless, and dangerous. She’s all flushed and breathless by the time I pull away and walk out.
Something is not right with me. Why do I care that a nameless slave joins the cheerleading squad or not? And why do I lose every restraint when our eyes meet?
“You do realize that you will get her killed, right?” Marcus asks the moment I step outside. He must have seen me follow her.
“Nothing happened.” I don’t know if my straight face and firm voice is convincing enough. The last thing I want is rumors circulating about this.
“You might be the future Alpha, but Diana is no child’s play. She will kill her.”
“Again, nothing happened.”
I am still talking to Marcus when she walks out in her usual bangy clothes. She keeps her head down, avoiding my eyes. I feel much better with her covered like this.
“Why is her hair all messed up then?” Marcus presses on as soon as she is out of sight.
Fuck! I untangled it when I kissed her, she probably did not notice. I will be damned if I say this to Marcus though.
I shrug my shoulders and feign ignorance. “Girls do all sort of stuff with their hair. How should I know?”
He shakes his head; he is obviously onto me.
“I know you, man. You will never forgive yourself if something happens to her because of this. Remember why you let Rose believe her fairy tale?”
A cold chill descends down my spine. Every girl I had an interest in growing up somehow either disappeared or got into a tragic accident and died. I have always suspected Diana, but there is never proof. That witch is forever going on about how graceful her daughter would be as the next Luna. She unfortunately, has my demented father eating from the palm of her hand since my mother’s passing. One day I will be the Alpha and I will make her pay for her crimes.
“She is something alright, but she is her slave and more vulnerable than the rest,” Marcus adds.
“I don’t know what’s going on with me, man. Both Sky and are pulled to her.”
I finally confess. I trust Marcus with my life, maybe he will know what’s going on with me and my wolf.
“She does not have a wolf yet; it can’t be the mate bond.”
“I know.”
I have thought a lot about what this pull means, but nothing makes sense. The royal prophet only confused me more with his riddles.
“I guess you will know soon enough, but until then I suggests that you stay away from her.”
“Okay.”
I can’t argue with him on this. A mate bond, I can claim her, and she lives with me. I can’t do that now when I don’t know what is going on and pursuing anything while she is Diana’s slave will only place her in danger.
“I could be her guardian,” the i***t suggests and Sky growls. What witchcraft is this now?
My wolf and I are always in control and in sync. He knows what I think and feel all the time but we seem to be loosing it when she is concerned.
“Off limits, Marcus.”
The bastard laughs, I don’t think he fully realises how serious I am.
Marcus lifts his arms in surrender. He is my best friend and knows when I am serious.
“I won’t touch her, I swear. I will only keep her safe for you.”
“That won’t be necessary.”
Her existence in the pack is a mystery, a few months old baby crawling around in the dangerous woods is not something we hear about. The elders thought someone would come looking, but it’s been eighteen years. My theory is that her parents were either rogues who did not want to raise a child or were killed by rogues. Whatever the truth is, she has survived thus far. She is only a few months from getting her wolf, that’s when I will know if she is my mate or not.
“The boys have spotted her and there is no changing that. Leon and Carl were already fighting about who will succeed in buying her from Diana,” Marcus continues, sending chills down my spine.
Fuck! Those two have enough money to buy her and Diana will not hesitate to sell her to the highest bidder. I guess I have no choice but go with him on this.
“What’s the plan?”
“I will buy her, but you are paying for it.”
“Fine.”
