Chapter 42
~REX’S POV~
I’m in a lot of trouble. How is it possible for my Reina to do this to me? Was she fully aware of what she was doing? What gave her the idea that I was jerking off? I allow the water to soothe my body. I will not respond to that. After an hour of showering, I emerged to find Juno making dinner for the first time. She has been looking at me dangerously as if she wishes to rip my pants apart and instantly start fucking me. This is going to be challenging. Extremely challenging. She took my hand in hers and ushered me over to the table.
“Sit,” she instructed.
I’m afraid of her now. I examined her eyes closely to determine whether it was indeed my Juno or her Lycan. Juno was the culprit.
Why was she behaving in this way? Is she in heat?
The table was laden with turkey and other delectables. But, for the time being, everything is in her hands. To be honest, she has never cooked for me.
Why now? What is Juno up to?
“Will you dine with me, my darling, or will you simply gaze at me as I eat?”
Where does this self-assurance come from Something is wrong? I’m attempting to consider every possibility, but none appear to fit. Take a moment. Did my useless brother find refuge in her body?
No, no, I don’t think so. The last time he did it, it came dangerously close to killing her. While I understand we fought for her, he would never cross the line again, would he?
“Put an end to your pondering on the improbable; it is Reina. However, something is wrong.”
“What is it, Ladon?”
“You know, I’m not really adept at these things. Ask Alaric.”
“Alaric? Alaric, Alaric!”
“I’m dozing!” he screamed.
“What! Are you insane?” What kind of sleep can you get at this hour?
“Well, it’s not every day Reina touches us. I’m still reeling from the sensation of her silky fingertips stroking all the right places. Please do not disturb me.”
“What! Are you insane, Alaric? She did not fuck us.” He cut me off in the middle of a sentence.
“Fucking wouldn’t be a bad idea. Oh Lala, I could have enjoyed her wicked waist swaying on my cock. Did you notice how her waist moves?”
“Wake up, Alaric. I have my doubts that it was Reina.”
“What! What!? Are you attempting to convince me that Reina cannot move her waist in that manner? Are you making a dig at my mate, Rex?”
“Are you that sexually frustrated, Alaric? Listen, Reina is a skilled dancer, but she is reserved. How is she able to do something like that out of the blue?”
“Of course, to satisfy me.”Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
“Aargh! Go back to sleep!”
“Excellent, excellent.” He let out a sigh.
“What are we going to do now, Ladon?”
“All right, then, wait for him to reawaken and argue with him.”
I need that moron named Alaric right now, but he’s busy thinking about Juno’s waist. Is he blind to the fact that our mate is behaving strangely? She rose to her feet and moved around the table, her cleavage almost touching the turkey breast. What in the world is she doing? I took a deep breath and began sniffing my surroundings. She’s not on heat.
Why is she serving food as well as herself? I’m enjoying everything that’s going on. My Reina is putting me to the test, but something is amiss. She took a seat and laughed.
“Rex, are you okay?”
“Mmm.”
We began eating, but my gaze remained fixed on her as I waited for that moron Alaric to notice what I was seeing. After a while, I realized she was reverting to her shy Juno persona. She had ceased to tempt me.
“Rex, can you please pass me some chilli sauce?”
Her voice has lost its enticing quality. She was fine now, but what was the point of that? Was it, in fact, her wolf?
“Rex, I’ve just spoken with Athena, and she has vowed not to attempt to take over Juno, but there is a catch. This week needs to be the week. She says Zeus is close, and he is closer than we think.”
~Alex’s POV~
After my little session with the king, I managed to rebuild the packhouse as my pack members had no place to stay. The packhouse is reserved for wolves that have not mated. The majority of folks own their own home. However, if you reach the age of 18 and have not found your mate, you must relocate to the Packhouse.
That man had the ability to kill me, but he let me go. I’m not sure why. So my mate, I mean, Juno is a Lycan? Why would I be mated with a Lycan? Another stunning discovery is that she is not my mate; if she is not, who is? This makes no sense at all. Is it possible that the moon goddess is playing a joke on me? The moon goddess is incapable of making a mistake. The king is merely a human being who is capable of making mistakes. Juno is entirely mine. I’m going to have to fight for my mate. I’m in desperate need of pups. I’m in desperate need of a strategy to combat him. How can you get rid of a Lycan, a dinosaur, a dragon, a wolfbear, and who knows what else? Why would a guy possess so many creatures instantaneously? You have to see him in action to believe it! That man is a beast!
“Hello, there!”
“Whose there?” I search around for the source of the voice, but I don’t see anyone. Is he returning to finish me off?”
“You’ve been mischievous. I was grooming you to seize control of your body, but you are now completely useless.”
In front of me was a man. His aura was menacing, but not in the same way as the man who tortured me. My legs cannot shake in the presence of this man. I am able to maintain my composure in his presence.
“And just who the bloody hell are you?” I yelled.
“Your most dreadful nightmare.”
I broke out laughing at who this fool believes himself to be. The most heinous was a man I met a few days ago. And this creature in front of me declares that he is my biggest nightmare. What exactly is this?
“Where has my mate gone?”
His mate? Who the holy hell is his mate, anyway?
“Listen, man; you’ve come to the wrong place. Can you tell me who the fuck is your mate?”
He drew closer and took my hand in his. His eyes shifted slightly, and his slap sent me flying.
“Did you rape her?” What sort of man would rape a woman?”
“Even you?”
“Aaah, you’ve met my brother, haven’t you?” There is no reason for me to punish you. He’ll be back, I’m sure of it. He will sever every part of your body until you are left with nothing. You should not have sexually assaulted her.”
Another slap landed on my face, and my body thudded against the bed’s edge!
“Can you tell me who your mate is?”
“The person you believe to be your Luna, Juno. I initially assumed your motives were solely motivated by a desire to learn about my brother. However, he has previously met you. I’m guessing you don’t have a dick. You are completely useless to me. I wanted to make use of your body, but you were unable to keep my mate in your pack at all times. You even managed to lose a dick. I can’t believe I’m going to have to find another body. You were useless. A true gentleman does not rape.”
Another slap and a kick launched me through the window, and my body collided with the pavement. Why am I not defending myself against this man? He is not so strong; I am capable of defeating him. I morphed into Jackson and waited outside for him.
“Bravo! Bravo!” He began to clap his hands. “Do you wish to engage in combat with me, mutt?”
How many people do I have to slaughter in order to reach you, my Luna?
