The Alpha's Luna

Chapter 15

Clayton’s Perspective

As Angel moved to the music I watched her body. I thought about the ring on her finger and how we were going to have a family one day. She was finally finished with college and was at the perfect stage in her life to begin this next chapter. And I was at a perfect place in my leadership within the pack to begin life with my luna and start leading with her at my side. I thought of how difficult it was going to be, in the beginning at least before everyone was used to us. Most of my pack would understand our relationship, but on nights like tonight when we were with other people, they might try to approach either of us and we had to learn how to handle that, it should be easy though and we had forever to figure it out. Then I thought of the rogues. They had originally tried to take Angel's mother as their queen and now they want Angel. I wouldn't let them touch her at all. Recently my policy has been if a rogue steps on our territory, part of the government or not, they are to be killed immediately. No wolf that doesn't belong to a pack can be trusted. Also, Angel and Amber are never to be left alone. We can't risk anything.

"Let's go get a drink," Angel said with a smile. She approached the bar and ordered a cherry coke. I looked at her questioningly. "Just in case," she said with a smile. I wanted to ask, just in case what, but I decided to address it later. Daniel walked to us and sat in the bar stool beside where we were standing and smiled at Angel. I didn't like it and my wolf growled to me. I took a seat in the stool beside of Daniel, leaving Angel in between us.

"Cherry coke?" Daniel asked her.

"My favorite," she responded.

"I know," he said laughing and touching her hand gently. My wolf didn't like the fact that he was touching her, but I tried not to show it. Angel, however, sensed the way I felt and she sat on my lap and wrapped her arms around my neck. I wrapped my arms around her waist a little too possessively. She laughed at me and I smiled, happy to have her attention.

'I love you, babe,' she said through the mind link.

'Love you too,' I thought back.

'He's just a friend, babe. I'll never love him the same way that I love you,' she assured me.

'I know. I just want to be honest and tell you that I just can't help feeling a little angered and annoyed by the relationship that you guys have,' I said as I looked into her eyes.

‘Baby, we don't have a relationship. He's like a brother, and not even that close anymore. I promise. You have to trust me,' she said, setting down her cherry coke and resting her head on my shoulder.

'I do, babe, I do. How could I not? I just love you so much and I just wish that every guy that knows you wasn't so attracted to you. I don't want to share,' I said, kissing her forehead.

'I love you, too. Clay, I love you so much. You never have to share, there's no one else. Only you, babe,' she said, making me feel a little better.

"I feel like I'm being left out your conversation, guys," Daniel said, ruining our moment.

'Because you are,' I said through the mind link to keep myself from saying it out loud.

"Sorry, Daniel," Angel said with a laugh.

'Thank you for not saying that out loud, babe,' Angel said.

'Mhm.' I replied. I think that I would be able to tolerate this guy if he didn't try to be so "buddy-buddy" with my mate.

"It's okay," he said, laughing with her. She kept her arms wrapped around my neck while she spoke and I could tell he didn't like it.

'Does he not get the fact that your MY mate?' I asked her as I watched the tense look that he gave me as I pulled her even closer to me.

'Clay, he's just not used to me being with someone that I'm actually in love with,' she told me. I rested my head in the crook of her neck.

'Okay but if he touches you, at all...'

'I know, baby. He won't,' she replied. He better not. I most definitely would not tolerate it.

Daniel's Perspective

It was almost out of control now, the way I felt for her. She was so perfect in every way. Why didn't I do everything that I want to do now, when she was actually mine all that time ago?! Maybe then I could have made her fall in love with me and she would have never even met Clayton. But I had to stop myself from thinking that because even I know that's a horrible thing to wish on mates. I just want her to be happy... but at the same time, I shouldn't have to suffer like this. I shouldn't have even hung out with her tonight at all. I mean, I've been needing to find her because I love her and I need her, but seeing her when she looks this hot and is sitting on Alpha Clayton Thompson's lap is not what I needed.

I was convinced that there was no way that one person can feel this strongly about someone without them feeling anything at all. I mean, we were best friends maybe she is just mistaking her love as friendship, I don't know. All that I do know is that I need to feel her, touch her, and have her attention. We need to be closer and she needs to stay away from Clayton, it hurts too much to see her with him. My feelings for her have never gotten to the point where I physically can't hide it anymore. It's like my body is acting without my head and I know that she's happy and she has a mate and they need each other, but I need her. I can't stay away. I desire the sweet touch of her big beautiful glossed lips on mine and I crave the taste of her tongue and lips to move gracefully with mine. If I have a mate out there, I don't ever want to meet her. I know that everyone says that deep down they have to admit that their wolf longs for their mate, but right now, my wolf hopes my mate never finds me. He is ready to take Angel right now on the bar if that's what it takes. My wolf was growling as he imagined doing just that, laying her on the bar and ripping that beautiful dress right off of her so that we could taste every inch of her body. I wanted to so bad, and the only thing stopping me is the fact that right now she is sitting on his lap as they stare into each other's eyes having a private conversation through a mind link that I will never be a part of.

Unintentionally, I tensed in my seat as he pulled her farther back into his lap, so that she was closer to him, and kissed her neck. I knew in my heart that she had totally forgotten about me because she put her finger on his chin and pulled it to her face so that he could kiss her lips. I also noticed that the hand that she touched him with was her left hand. Her ring finger had a large, fancy, expensive looking diamond ring on it and she wore it so confidently and comfortably, like it had always been there or it was always meant to be. That thought alone made me angry. How is it fair that they were so in love and I was left alone when I was so deeply in love with Angel? I decided that I need to get my mind of her, so I ordered another tall drink of the heaviest stuff they had and I poured it down my throat. It felt like it was burning my mouth and throat as it went down, but I took joy in it because it is a feeling other than anger and depression.

When I finished the drink they were still kissing. It was more like a make-out session and I imagined what it would be like if I were in Clayton's position, if her beautiful legs were around my waist and my hands were on her upper thighs, inching higher every second. Then, I realized that I had to stop. It was doing nothing but hurting me deeply and it was a pain I was never going to get over. My only option was to get my mind off of her. To do so, I looked around for another girl. At first, I saw no one that would atone my needs and then, suddenly, one girl stuck out to me.

I scanned her body, judging her in my own way. She had on black heels that made her slightly taller than average. Her legs were a milky pale color and her sparkly red dress stretched down to her mid thigh and, in all honesty, it fit her good and showed off her curves. She had a nice body, but not like Angel's in the way that you just want to drop to your knees in front of her and run your hands along her body forever. Stop. I couldn't compare her to Angel, that wasn't fair to her or to myself. I continued looking at her, inching my eyes higher. Her dress was strapless and the dark red color of it made her snow white skin look beautiful. When I reached her face I noticed her ruby red lips matched her dress perfectly. She had straight, long, brown hair with caramel brown highlights that would reach her waist if it had a few more inches of length. Then I looked into her eyes, her caramel brown eyes, and my heart stopped.

'That's our mate,' my wolf said to me. 'But don't know if I want her.' My wolf only wanted Angel. I only wanted Angel.

But it couldn't be all bad, maybe the mate connection would distract me from Angel before I formally rejected her. I needed something that strong to keep me from drowning myself in liquor tonight. I knew that if I had to continue watching Clayton and Angel that way I would never survive it. I would do anything to go back in time to my chance. But for now, I had a distraction and that was all I needed.
