Feel Me Love Me

Luna's Alter

April's POV

During the journey to Adrian's pack, I was silent. I just sat there quietly staring out of the window. There was nothing I wanted to say to him. I saw him glance at me once in a while but I didn't for once all through the journey glance his way.

'You will be alright April. Just give your heart the chance to love him. You won't regret it,' Mum had whispered tearfully into my ears when Adrian and I were about to leave.

I had nodded half-heartedly. I hated Adrian and there was nothing I could do about it but I was ready to at least tolerate him for the sake of the pack and my peace of mind because I doubted that Adrian would let me be if I refused to go with him and be his Luna.

'I will miss you April,' Raven had said when she hugged me. She looked so beautiful standing in her two-piece dress with her beautiful shining crown. Her mates stood behind her smiling at me.

I saw a hint of sadness in Romans' eyes but Roy's expression was unreadable. But when it was time for me to say goodbye to Roy, he unexpectedly pulled me into his chest for a warm hug.

'If that fool does anything stupid, all you need to do is call me and I will beat him to a pulp, and if you at any time feel uncomfortable at Luna's Alter, the doors of the palace are always open to you. This is your home too princess,' Roy said as quietly as he could.

Roy's words brought fresh tears to my eyes. I had not expected him to say anything much less say something like what he had just said. The more I began to know the twins, the more I realized that Roy might not be expressive with his feelings but he was capable of loving as deeply as Roman could.

My dad was the last person I hugged. He cried and I did too. It took several minutes for me to separate from his fatherly hug. Roy had to step forward and pull me slightly from my dad's embrace.

'You need to be on the way now April. It is evening already. You don't want to arrive at your new pack in the night. Do you?' Roy had asked.

I had only just recently met my dad. Going away from him hurt the most. If I was going away with someone I loved maybe I wouldn't have felt so much hurt at parting from my dad.

'Luna's Alter is about two hours away from here princess. If you want me, all you have to do is call and I will be there,' Dad said still holding firmly to my hand. He then turned to Adrian, 'Treat my girl right, Adrian. You don't want to see the other side of me,' Dad said sternly.

'I will take care of her Uncle Marcus. I promise. You have nothing to worry about,' Adrian had said smiling at my dad.

As I looked out of the car window and replayed our departure, tears welled up in my eyes again. I was leaving certainty for uncertainty, known for the unknown but my consolation was the fact that I had a family I could run back to in case it became unbearable at Luna's Alter. I was no longer April, the poor Omega girl.

'Are you okay princess?' Adrian asked putting a hand on my lap close to my knee.

'Stop calling me that,' I said gritting my teeth.

'You are a princess. Except for the fact that you are truly a princess, you are my princess too,' Adrian said.

I turned to him to see him grinning. I had nothing against being called princess but coming from Adrian's mouth, it always sounded like mockery to my ears.

'I am not your princess. And get your hand off me,' I said almost whispering. I didn't want the driver to hear me but it can't be helped. We were sitting right behind him. Adrian removed his hand and raised both hands.

'I am not touching you inappropriately princess. That is a friendly touch. If we are going to make this work, we should at least be friends,' Adrian said.

'I am not your friend Adrian and I will not say anything further until we have enough privacy,' I said and turned away from him to continue staring outside the car.

'That sounds kind of promising,' Adrian said but I didn't answer him. I knew he was trying to get a rise out of me so I ignored him.

The journey continued for the next thirty minutes in silence. The silence was killing me but I wasn't ready to strike up any conversation with Adrian. I would have asked the driver to play music or something but I didn't just want to have a cause to talk to Adrian.

'We are at Luna's Alter's border. Welcome home princess,' Adrian said and I gritted my teeth at his intentional use of princess but I didn't say anything nor did I turn to look at him.

When we entered the pack's town properly, I had no option but to look up at the beauty of Luna's Alter. I had thought that Luna's Den was the most beautiful pack I had seen but Luna's Alter was beautiful too.

Since the twins and Adrian had been best friends since they were kids, it was only natural for them to replicate developments in their packs.

I suddenly felt a tug at my heart as I wound the window down to allow the pack's fresh air into the car. I felt connected to the pack. I felt protective. Was that my heart recognizing its new home as the mother of the pack? Or was I reading too much into my reaction at seeing the pack?'

'Beautiful, isn't it' Adrian asked pulling my mind out of the moment.

I wound up the window and ignored him. I could hear the pride in his voice. I don't blame him for being proud of his pack. Any Alpha whose pack had done so well should be proud of it. But I just didn't want to talk to him at least not at that moment.

I didn't raise my head in curiosity anymore until the car came to a stop in front of a big giant gate. I watched as guards stood at every corner as we entered the compound. It was getting dark so there was light flooding the compound and I could see that there was light on in the house.

'Welcome to our home princess,' Adrian said as the car packed.

I was wondering if that was the way guards were permanently in the compound or if he placed guards in the compound because I was coming.

'Is this the way guards mile around here or you did do this because I am here?' I asked Adrian before I could stop myself.

'Don't flatter yourself, princess. After our last attack, my Beta came up with another distribution of guards and soldiers. So they are not here because of you. They are here to guard their Alpha's house,' Adrian answered.

'If you have so many guards here, is that not selfishness, what about the pack house and the other pack members?' I asked glaring at him.

'I know you think so little of me princess but don't tag me as selfish. There are only fifteen guards here. We have over one hundred and fifty guards except for our elite soldiers. Where do you think they are?' Adrian asked raising a brow.

I blushed hard. I had not thought that he had that large an army but I wasn't ready to apologize either. He seemed to wait for an apology as he continued staring at me with a brow raised.

'I am sorry,' I mumbled.

'Let us go inside. My parents are waiting,' Adrian said not acknowledging my apology and I noticed that he was walking ahead of me instead of us walking side by side. He was angry at what I said but he was trying hard to hide it.

As we walked into the house, I couldn't help but wonder if he stayed in the house with his parents. The house was big so I wouldn't be surprised if his parents stayed there with him.

I just hoped that his parents and I got along well so that it would make up for the sore relationship that would be between me and their son.

I doubted if we were made for each other. We haven't spent enough time together yet we seemed to rub off each other in the wrongest way possible.

Mum had said that the Moon Goddess was never wrong in pairing but I doubted that Adrian and my pairing was right.

I sighed as I followed him into the house. I guess I have to find out how far we could go with the relationship.
