The True Luna He Wants

CHAPTER THREE

ODETTE’s POV.

I wake up with a splitting headache and I immediately know it’s that time again which makes my anger skyrocket.

My wolf growls inside of me as I stumble out of bed towards the bathroom. A cold shower should alleviate the heat a little until I am able to get to the pack house. There is something the healer makes for me that calms me down for a few days and I can live with that. Since Zach died, no one has touched me and believe me when I say it has been torture trying to suppress my heat for three years straight.

As soon as the cold water hits my body, I let out a sigh of relief but I know it’s just a temporary relief, the feelings will soon creep in again.

Gosh, I hate this. I hate this so much.

I close my eyes and allow the water to continue flowing through my body.

“Maybe we should get laid” my wolf suggests but I completely ignore it, I certainly do not want to get laid by anyone and I mean anyone at all

After about thirty minutes, the feeling intensifies again and I let out another sigh, anger cursing through my veins.

I walk out of the shower and manage to get dressed in a simple sweatpant. I tie my hair up in a messy bun before rushing out of the room.

Everyone is having breakfast when I reach downstairs and I see how their faces break into smiles.

“Hey princess” it is dad, “just in time for breakfast”

“I made your favorite meal, dear” Mum chips in.

“I actually gotta run now” I ball my hands together, “this is very urgent and I need to go”

“But you haven’t had anything to eat yet” Jayden chips in.

“I will have something at the pack house”

Mum stands up and walks towards me, concern written all over her face.

“I am guessing it’s that time, baby?” She asks me and I shrug, it’s not that I can hide anything from her. She will sniff me out like a secret.

“I am fine mum” I lie, “I will just go to the pack house and train all this out”

“Look baby” she gently grabs a hold of my hand, “maybe you can…

“No, mum” I immediately cut her off, “and if you are really going to keep this up, I am going to have to go back to my apartment. I just buried Zach three years ago and you are already telling me to find another man?”

After Zach died, my parents literally forced me to come back to the house under the guise of wanting to take care of me. I know they care about me but I am kind of beginning to miss our house, the house Zach and I made into our own little home after our mark and mate ceremony.

“I literally found my second chance mate while still in the middle of processing my divorce with your father”

“You and I are different mum, I gotta go”

I kiss her on the cheek and wave at my dad and brother before making my way out of the house. The heat in my body is becoming too intense and right now I am not so sure if I will be able to get to the pack house without doing anything crazy.

But it seems the moon goddess has other plans for me, just as I pull up towards the highway, my car suddenly stops.

“Not now” I groan in pain, alighting from the car. I try checking what is happening but I can’t seem to fix it. I wear my frustration on my face, this can not be happening now.

My whole body tense up, I am going to lose my f*****g mind if I don’t get to the pack house Sooner.

I pull out my phone and dial Jayden’s number but as usual, he doesn’t answer. He never answers his call, for someone who manages a big company like Avanti.

Now I am left with one option, to call dad but I really do not want to stress him or listen to his lectures right now.

I am still in the middle of contemplating what to do when a car pulls over beside me and a familiar figure alights.

As soon as I set my gaze on him, the heat from my body intensifies and I ball my hands together.

“Selene, help me” I mutter to myself, what will happen if I am not able to take control of myself and pounce on him?

“Hey, you” his face breaks into a small smile, “small world”

“What are you doing here, malachi?” I manage to ask him,

“you should leave”

“Are you always aggressive or just today”

“And how is that your business?” I snap in anger before letting out a sigh, “you should leave, please”

But he doesn’t move an inch, rather he starts to walk towards me and my heart jumps into my mouth. I have never had a reason to think about bedding a man for the past three years because no man had been near me. Anytime I was in heat, I go to the pack house and the pack healer feeds me with that concoction and I spar for the longest time to expel whatever s****l tension was in my body, that too away from the other male pack members.

But with each step this insanely fine man takes towards me, I feel like my firm resolve is actually going to crash and I am going to leap into his embrace.

“You should really leave, Malachi”

“Shouldn’t you be asking for my help?” He inquires, coming face to face with me. He is too close for comfort and I find myself gulping.

“Get off my face or I am going to tear you into a million pieces” I snap at him, a low growl leaving my throat.

“Seeing that you are on heat, shouldn’t you be begging me to help you calm down?”

My jaw drops for a moment, how did he know? Well, again he is also a wolf so he should know.

“I am just going to pick a cab” I say and make to leave but he grabs a hold of my hand and I snap my head towards him.

“What do you think you are doing?”

“Come with me” he orders and my brows furrow together.

“And who the hell are you to ask me that?”

I try to yank my hand away from him but his hold is strong.

“We both might be a wolf but I am stronger than you, come with me unless you want to pounce on the next available man. Your body is burning up and you will soon lose control of your senses”

“And why should I?”

“Because I am not interested in bedding a wolf on heat right now so I will be helping you”

“Maybe we should trust him” my wolf advises me.

“And where are you taking me?”

“You ask a lot of questions, Odette”

I roll my eyes at him,

“I will come with but if you try anything funny, I will make sure to feed your flesh to your dog”

Snapping my hand out of his, I start walking towards his car while he follows behind.

I don’t even know why I am following him but I guess wherever he is taking now is a lot closer than the pack house.

As soon as the car zooms off, I shift to the far end of the other side. Making sure not to look at him or even think about him even though his scent is becoming too intense for me to handle.

He is putting on a black suit that clings to his body, showing off his strong arms. His hair is held back in a neat bun and he looks extra handsome today, not to talk of his scent which surprisingly appeals to me. I want to turn around and look at him, I want to take in all his features but I am scared of what I will do if I turn to him. With each passing moment, the heat from my body rises up.

“We will be there soon” he tells me, his voice deep and so appealing to the ears.

Since Zach died, this is the closest I have been with another man aside from my brother and my dad and believe me, it is killing me. Maybe if Jayden picked his call, I wouldn't be in this damned car.

“You….” The words hang in my throat when the car pulls up and I discover it is his house, a frown settle upon my face.

“Did you bring me to your house?”

“I didn’t bring you to sleep with you, white wolf. Trust me and come along”

He alights from the car and I also do the same.

We both walk into the house and he leads me towards another segment of the house and after a while, he pushes the door open and steps into the room, gesturing me in.

“What is this place?”

“I prefer to call it my dome” he answers, “and you can stay here until you feel better”

“And how sure are you…

“You can’t feel anything but your heat inside of this room. My scent, your scent or anything else, you won’t feel it. This is where I stay when I am on heat” he further adds, “and I will bring the concoction for you later”

“You know about the concoction?” My brows crease together.

“You will be surprised at the lot of things I know” he answers with a smirk, “you can stay here for hours if you so wish but when you are out of here, you will feel refreshed. You can repeat the process for as long as your body needs it or you might actually pounce any thing in trouser”

After he is done, he turns around to leave but I grab a hold of his hand and a surge of electricity ripples through my veins making me let go of his hand instantly.

The frown on his face intensifies,

“Why are you helping me?”

“Let’s just say you are in my line of sight now and it’s so hard not to notice you, Odette. I will see you when you are ready to come out, you can press this button when you feel like you have calmed down enough”

He doesn’t say anything again as he turns on his heel and walks out of the room leaving me to my thoughts.

I look around the room and I feel it, it’s just like he said. I can not even feel my own scent.

The emotions become too overwhelming and Intense but I don’t panic, it’s not like anyone is here for me to pounce on and satiate my s****l desires.
