Prologue 2.
The party was already in full swing by the time I arrived- as usual. I always made sure I arrived late to Jax’s birthday parties, I would sign my name that I was actually present then leave one hour later before anyone even notices my presence, honestly, most of my time was usually spent outside the house.
I walked into Alpha Montero’s house- where Jax always had his birthdays and signed in front of my name on the register that was usually situated by the door. I wondered why he made his parties compulsory when only a few sets of people actually had fun at things like this. It wasn’t like he interacted with the lower-class people or even paid them any attention, so why invite them or rather, force them to attend his stupid parties against their will?
I walked further into the gigantic house, making my way towards the back door when the most delicious scent I had ever smelled wafted through my nose, it was intoxicating, slowly killing me from the inside. That smell had the power to make me halt and the earthy scent of pinewood and sweet pineapple became closer, invading my senses and begging me to reach out for it.
I saw his eyes before I saw him. Lust was coated in his light green orbs as he made his way over to me, he paused a few feet away from me making a frown find its way unto my face. That frown was replaced by a smile once I noticed him signaling to me to follow him. I did as I was told, obeying my mate like the naïve little girl that I was. I would’ve followed him to the ends of the earth if he had asked.
He went up the stairs and I followed him until we reached a room- his room. I walked inside and he locked the door behind us, smiling at me. A blush coated my cheeks and I looked down shyness taking over my features, “Don’t look down, babe”, his voice was like silk, so smooth and so husky, I could shower in it every day. “A future Luna never looks down”, the words hit me hard, my mate was Jax- the Jax Montero was my mate! How? How on earth could this be possible? What on earth went wrong? What on earth went right?
His gentle hand went to my chin, lifting my head up and bringing my eyes to his. My breathe hitched in my throat, he was looking at me, no, he was staring right into my soul, breaking every wall I had ever kept up and barging into me like he owned the place. His head came down and in one second, he had his lips on mine, claiming what belonged to him.
Unfortunately, he claimed it a little bit too much.
I didn’t know when he moved us to the bed until I felt my back hit the softness of his mattress. His lips never left mine as he unzipped my dress and slid it off my shoulders. I was intoxicated, he was like a drug that I just couldn’t get enough of.
Before I knew it, he undid the clasp behind me, letting my breast free from their uncomfortable hold. He suddenly broke the kiss, leaving me whimpering and longing for more. His eyes were on my chest- studying it as it rose and fell due to my rapid breathing, “Hot”, was the next thing that left his lips and a blush found a way to my cheeks at the compliment. One of his hands reached out and held one of my breasts, rubbing over my swollen pink pebble with his calloused fingers- the situation was awkward but I felt far from awkward, I felt at home.
His head dipped down and kissed me once again, not lasting on my lips as he trailed kisses down my neck, to my shoulder until he stopped on the breast where his hand wasn’t occupying. He placed a light kiss on my nipple, causing a shudder to rake over my body and I was pretty sure my panties were dampening by the second.
His tongue swirled my sensitive bud before he took my whole breast into his mouth causing a slightly embarrassing moan to leave my lips. His free hand trailed down my stomach and found its way to the hem line of my panties. Before I could gather my senses, his hand dipped down and touched the most sensitive part of my body, he groaned, “You’re so wet for me, baby”. He began to stroke my little bundle of nerves and it was at that point that I knew I was a goner; I could not think about anything other than the fact that I wanted to give my all to him.
He was my mate after all, so what did I have to loose?
I had woken up with a smile on my face again the next day but it faltered a little when I felt the space beside me empty. I snapped my eyes open and sat up, pressing my back unto the headboard and using the thick duvet to cover my naked body, “Good, you’re up”, I heard him say from the other side of the room, he was fully dressed and leaning against the wall, his muscles bulging out more than necessary.
Relief washed over me; he hadn’t left me! That was a good sign, right? “Hey”, I greeted, “About last night…”, he never allowed me to complete my sentence,
“It was a mistake, it never should have happened, I was drunk and my mind was hazy”, what? “Like, who in their right mind would get with you? You’re you!”,
“Excuse me?”, tears had already formed in my eyes, one more hurtful statement from him and I was sure that the dam was going to be broken- just like my heart.
“You know what I mean”, he pushed himself of the wall and rolled his eyes, “Nothing can ever happen between us when I am sane”, he shrugged, “I am the soon-to-be Alpha of this pack and you are an Omega, I can’t have you as my mate, you are too weak, I mean, look at you, you will never make a good Luna”, the dam had been broken, “Plus you come with too much baggage, I don’t want that”, was he serious? Or was he joking? I couldn’t tell at this point.
“But you took everything from me, I gave you all of me last night, I…”, he cut me off with the wave of his hand,
“Look, its not my fault that you’re so easy”, he did not! My eyes widened at his words, “No offense”, he added, “But I really cannot see a future between the both of us so I will have to let you go”, he said it so casually, like those words meant absolutely nothing to him, like I meant absolutely nothing to him.
“You’re rejecting me?”, I said in disbelief but then again, what was I expecting? Was I really expecting Jax to agree to be my mate? Was I expecting Jax to love and care for me? I almost laughed at myself- it all sounded ridiculous, even to me.
He sighed and went to the door, “Call it whatever you want, all I know is that nothing happened between us and if you ever think about telling anybody, just know that I would deny it and make sure I add liar to your resumé, its your word against mine. We already know who would win”, that smirk on his face, that bloody smirk on his stupidly handsome face! I wish I could slap it off his lips! “Anyways, I’ll go check if the coast is clear, get dressed and leave my house”, so that’s what I was to him? A one-night stand that he could just do away with the morning after?
Once he left the room, I shoved the covers aside and put my clothes back on. I was not going to wait for him to meet me here, I was going to leave, just like he wanted and never show my face again. There was absolutely nothing for me here; I had no parents, no family, no friends and most of all, no mate.
