Chapter Six

I could feel it, a kind of energy flowing inside me, and radiating out in bursts of waves in the beginning.

It was surreal, and for a moment I felt like a child who is excited when he learns something new. The bursts were uneven, and came out in short spurts. They became even soon, and Liana started looking calmer, with her tears at bay and a small smile on her face.

"You really are the Luna Queen, aren't you?" She said with a small smile, her voice hoarse.

"I thought all werewolves could do this." I shrugged, wanting her to keep smiling.

She shook her head and told me, "Only the Luna Queen and her counter equivalent can do that, along with the other Lunas. We are Lunas, so it is inbuilt in us to be comforting and we never like it when someone is upset in our presence or is upset because of us. It comes naturally to only the Queen and Prime, the others have to learn and master it."

Oh, that explained why it hurt to see her cry.

"Okay, I have another question." I tried to steer the conversation, "What are these voices inside me?

"I'll explain very briefly right now. Since you have never bonded with your inner wolf and your inner PureBlood, you can hear them as separate voices inside you. Once you bond and share the same kind of thoughts, they'll become more of an instinct to you. You don't have to understand this now - just know that they are a very important part of you as a supernatural being. You really are a PureBlood?"

She was looking with awe and I shrugged, "I don't even know what that is."

"Well you are one, and - oh shit - are you the one the prophecies told about?" her eyes widened in disbelief.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Prophecy? What the fuck?

"PureBloods are supernatural beings with the purest of bloods - as the name suggests. They are incredibly powerful, but are peaceful beings. The Peacemakers, the protectors and what not. So, to keep the balance in the world, there is an equal amount of good and equal amount of bad right?"

I nodded.

"But these PureBloods, they were all good people. But they are no more - they were all killed in a war some two decades ago and there were no traces of them after that. They were close to the Werewolves and we were deeply saddened by their disappearance."

There was silence in the room for some time, the only sounds were the rattling of the glass windows due to the wind, and of us sipping the hot chocolate. She frowned for a moment and placed a hand on my thigh, asking me, "When and how did you meet Alpha King Adrian? What happened then?"

I frowned at the memory, "I work for a company that manufactures biomedical equipment. He, the CEO of the chain of Alpha Hospitals, was supposed to negotiate a business deal with us that day. I distinctly remember it was the second day of my period that day."

"Oh sweetie, your heat was probably just wearing off, you probably felt horny the moment you smellled him." She sighed.

"Heat? As in, the female gets super horny and can be satisfied by only her mate's touch, yet can attract other mated and unmated males too?"

She stared at me for some time, wide eyed, "You read too many werewolf stories, don't you?"

I nodded at her, smiling sheepishly, "Teenage obsession."

"Oh." She giggled, "Well, yeah, you are right about that. Females, marked or unmarked, go through it every month and bleed when you aren't impregnated by the end, just like your average periods. It is for keeping the spark alive in between the mates, and yes, females feel horny as fuck then. Even males do, they get turned on just at the smell of their mate's arousal." Liana explained.

"Marked?" I asked. "You mean the whole having sex and biting the neck or something kind of thing?"

"Kinda, yeah. There are three stages. First one takes place the moment you see your mate. Both are taken at that instant, attracted to each other like hell, and you experience major changes in your body to suit your mates desires. That is the reason we both are resilient and stronger, in fact, we are sexier and beautiful too, than all the other females around. It is because we are mates to two most powerful wolves in the empire. Tell me, did you notice some changes in your body?"

I nodded vigorously.

"I did too. It's just to be perfect for each other, you know. If your mate likes bigger boobs, your breasts will grow to the size he likes, even if he himself doesn't know his own preferences. If your mate likes a big ass, then your ass will grow rounder and more curvaceous. Same goes for the males, if your mate likes a bigger dick, you have it of the exact girth and length your female likes, even if she doesn't know about it."

I stared at her in awe, "That's...wow. Moon Goddess had it all planned, didn't she?"

I wanted to ask her how could her mate resist her if she became what she described but then she answered my unasked question. I was probably reeking of curiosity and doubt.

"He didn't see me ever after the day we met. He met me, he rejected me and I ran away to Italy, to distract myself with all the hot human Greek Gods there. Pity me, after meeting Jaxon, I couldn't even look at other males or feel like flirting with them. It's the same with the male wolves too, you know? Every other female becomes irrelevant and undesirable for them." She said.

"What about Jaxon, your mate? You just said that..." I trailed off, getting confused. Their relationship was so fucking complicated, I swear, probably defying every law that Werewolves had made.

"If he wanted to find me, he would have done it, years ago."

She's lying. A Luna Queen and her counter Luna Prime is born with the toughest of survival skills embedded in her. You both can hide yourselves and even your mates wouldn't be able to find you forever.

"My wolf says you're lying. It's you who's hiding. You probably don't even know if he's finding you too." I told her bluntly.

She sighed, "My wolf says that to me too, but why would I even want to go back to him, when he doesn't want me? You know, "she sniffed, tears pooling her eyes and she snuggled into me, "After I met him, I didn't want to run away. I wanted to fight for us. He was my mate, after all. But the same night, Ana, my wolf, hid from me and withdrew herself so I couldn't feel her anymore. It went on for the whole night and I felt uneasy. I kept awake all night, trying to get her back and when she did," She paused, choking out a sob and taking in a deep breath.

"I found out that he was with someone else the whole night, and my wolf didn't want me to feel the pain she was feeling because of it. I punished her and didn't let her out for a run for a week, and after that, she never withdrew when she felt the pain. We both felt it together and it hurt like a bitch."

I felt hurt too, with her. I could feel the pain, not wanting anything but to calm her. I did it again, what I did before, and she calmed down, slowly.

"Continue, about what happened between you and Adrian." Oh, yes.

"Yeah, I was discussing the presentation with my employer when his scent itself started making me...you know...aroused. Then he entered the room, and I saw him. So much lust, I could see he was turned on too, but he had a considerable amount of self control on himself. When he shook my hand, sparks and tingles ran through it, and I nearly moaned. God! It was so embarrassing; I wanted him to fuck me right on the table. Well, he didn't look at me the whole time, but when I went to the restroom to clean myself, he followed after me. It got pretty hot, we didn't kiss, but he was all over my neck and his hands were wandering everywhere, but he pushed himself away and blurted things that went above my head at that time. He said that he had a mate and she was pregnant."

She frowned at me, "Delia is pregnant?"
