Luna On The Run!

Alpha Zane’s POV

I take Clarita back to her vehicle in the mall.

Amelia has changed her mind and is staying with Mase for the night. Clarita shows me the vehicle, an SUV that looks a bit familiar. But I won’t dwell on it too long, I have to see this woman again tomorrow.

“Don’t forget to come to the yacht. Juan will be waiting for you in the afternoon. And bring your swimsuit, after you have discussed everything with him, we can go for a swim in the sea”. She nods, smiling, her eyes sparkling. I get out to open her door.

And when she is standing in front of me, I refuse to take a step back.

“Clarita, all I can think about is how to get to this point where I can kiss you. I am so attracted to you and I want to …”. Before I’ve finished, I feel her lips on mine. I stood still for a moment before I buried my hand in her hair and pulled her closer to me.

The kiss was tender at first but soon became demanding. I press her against my vehicle, her body melting against mine. “Hmmm, you feel so good,” I whisper in her ear as our lips necessarily separate. “Are you a witch?”

Her hands caress my back as she hides her face in my neck. I’d think she was a werewolf if I didn’t know better. “No, I’m just a woman in the arms of a handsome man,” she teases.

“I can’t wait for you to get back,” I sigh. “Give me your phone.”Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

She takes it out of her handbag and hands it to me. I print my number in it and put a heart next to my name. When she sees it, she laughs and shakes her head. “See you tomorrow, Zane. And drink moderately. I saw you downing glass after glass of whiskey.” I kiss her quickly on the tip of her nose.

“If that is what you want, then no more alcohol for me tonight,” I promise her.

With a wave, she gets into her car and drives off. I stare at her thoughtfully; Clarita is a woman to love. She has everything a man could wish for; a good body, great charisma and she is gentle.

As she disappears from view, I go back inside. I pick up my mobile phone and call Eric.

“Hey man. Do you remember Matt Diggens’ company? We did business with him, but he was such a fraud. And when it was too risky to put our name on his, we terminated all contracts with him,” I reminded my Beta.

“Yes, sure, I remember that scum. What is he up to now? A business news channel suggested that his wife had left him,” Eric replies. “What do you want with him?”

“I want him busted. His wife is my new girlfriend and he used her inheritance for his business. And yet he treated her like rubbish, the cheat,’ I growl. “Juan will file for divorce tomorrow and then she will claim her money. We’ll buy the company and give it to her as a present.

For a moment, there is silence on the other side. “Your new girlfriend? Zane, you’ve only been away for a few days. And already you have a girlfriend? Is it an old flame you’ve rekindled?”

“No, I met her in a shopping center and loved her immediately. When you meet her, you know exactly what fascinates me about her. She is amazing. I’m keeping her until my second chance mate arrives”.

“You are abusing her? Is that even fair, Zane?” I growl menacingly at his insinuation.

“We’ll make arrangements, I’ll keep it open for her. I’ll give her the company so she’s well compensated.”

I sense Eric’s disapproval. I have no intention of deceiving Clarita, we are entering into this relationship on a very rational basis. She is human and they are used to short-term commitments. But I intend to be faithful, to treat her like a princess. And if my second chance mate is not there when I turn 30, I will take her as my chosen mate. Until then, I will hide the fact that I am a werewolf Alpha from her.

“Find the information on his current contracts. I want him on his knees, by the time he has to pay Clarita he should be as good as broke. You know our strategy.”

“I will get to work immediately. If Clarita is to become our Luna, I want her to have no traumas from her past either,” Eric replies. I end the conversation. I have no doubt that he will carry out this assignment properly. Eric is driven, I won’t have to wait long for results.

When I reach the boat, I go straight back on deck. I lean over the railing and stare off into the distance.

It is almost dusk, and the rising moon casts an amazing glow over the surface of the sea. I take a seat on a lounger and enjoy the view. It won’t be long before Clarita sits here with me. There are only a few days left of my holiday, so I have to act quickly.

When I leave here, I want to take her to Midnight Moon and introduce her to the pack. The elders will not approve of our relationship, but they will watch me and let me have my way. A steady partner is always better than going around the pack. My father always warned me that exes in the pack could undermine a Luna’s authority. And I have followed this golden rule.

I enjoy the spectacle of the sea and the moon for another hour before I retire to my hut. After a long bath, I disappear between the sheets.

Clarita is coming tomorrow; after she meets with Juan, she and I will discuss our own business.

I can’t wait to hold her in my arms and take her to the Midnight Moon. I will always have her with me, and she will be able to take over Luna’s duties. It should be clear to my pack that she is my permanent partner, she may not have the title of Luna, but she should not be treated any less.

With all these good intentions, I fall into a deep sleep….
