CHAPTER 2 On A Bright Full Moon Night

Athena's POV

The moment I opened my eyes, I could already feel the lingering pain in my body. For some reason, even though I feel like I've joined a marathon, the fulfillment that my body has is something incomparable.

I stretched my neck to somehow loosen my muscles, but when I turned my head, a familiar face welcomed me. My eyes widened in shock and fear.

"What the hell?" I cursed myself.

It's one of those cliche movies when you can't remember anything you did last night and find yourself waking up in somebody's bed somehow. I tried hard not to scream so this brute beside me wouldn't wake up. I checked my body under the duvet only to see my body naked, with new underwear on.

"What the fvck? Sht, sht, s*t." I kept on cursing.

I couldn't control myself anymore. I sat and hand-raked my hair, trying to remember what happened last night. And then I saw my red dress lying on the ground and it all got into me.

Third Person's POV

Knight, who's casually seated on the C-type sofa, can't help but stare at Athena, who's seated on the countertop. He knows what she's up to. Being able to bed women at any age makes Knight inferior in situations like this.

But like what Apolo said, the moon is up tonight, bright and screaming magic. Being a wolf and not just a wolf but an alpha like him shouldn't be reckless when it comes to this kind of decision.

Knight couldn't help it; his eyes were glued to her. The way she crossed her legs and stared at him with her sensual eyes had him caught up. Is it because of the moon? He thought. Or is it just because of the effect of the liquor?

Knight observed how men flocked to her, but he smirked at the thought of the woman's being so drawn to him because she seemed to ignore everyone who tried her. A woman sat beside her as well. Then Knight thought, maybe he's right with his conclusions, because he wouldn't even notice the woman sitting beside her.

His jaw protruded when he saw a man talking to Athena. She shooed her away using her hands, and the guy immediately backed off. But it didn't pass his eyes when he saw how the guy put something in her drink. Knight loosened his tie more. He had no idea why he seemed so mad at what he saw.

So when Athena came to her, he almost celebrated. He glared at the man who seemed to be eyeing Athena all this time, and he saw how the man became disappointed. He kept on glaring at the man, hoping he'd get the hint, and gladly, the man left looking disappointed afterward.

He was still in a bad mood even after all of Athena's moves. All his attention is on his mad feelings and how he imagined slitting the guy's throat. He thought, 'How can this woman be so reckless?'

I see that no woman could pacify your broken ass day." Athena said.

No, she's wrong. From the moment she walked inside the lounge, he could already imagine her moaning beneath him. But it was all ruined when the random man almost took advantage of her.

The way she touched his head sensually, the way she smelt like fruit and roses, the way she kissed him like a whisper, it all got into his system.

"Nice meeting you too, Mr. Knight." That's all she said and then left.

His jaw hardened. "Where is she going?" was his first thought. It's almost a miracle that he didn't stop her and pin her against his body. If he's guessing it right, she would have fainted five minutes later after chugging her margarita.

"Uh-uh, that's a wrong move, young man." Apolo muttered when Knight stood up and was about to tail Athena.

He clenched his jaw hard and left the premises without a word. He searched every hallway and, gladly, he saw her immediately. When she saw her leaning against the wall, dizzy and out of her mind, he smirked. His hunch was right.

She walked unusually while fanning herself constantly with her hands. No, Knight wouldn't let her out of her sight. He came after her and grabbed her arms.

He stiffened when she saw her tired face. He had no idea why his heartbeat drums in chaos. Is he this attracted to her? Is he really a slave to his libido now? He had never felt this way before.

"Where are you going?" he asked.

Athena shrugged her hands and wrapped her hair and put it on her shoulders. Knight had a hard time resisting the urge to throw himself at her and nibble on her perfectly carved neck and collar bone. "What the hell is wrong with me?" he kept on cursing himself.

"I'm hot a-and I want to get out of here. The lights are extra blinding tonight, huh? " She chuckled sexily and bit her lip.

Knight swallowed his hidden desires hard. Both of his hands were in his pocket. He tried so hard to shrug off his sexual thoughts of her and focused on finding out what was happening to her. "Really, Knight? When did you become such a gentleman?" he thought.

"Oh shit," Athena whispered. "Really Athena? Knock in a glass of margarita?"

'Athena,' Knight echoed, her name inside his head. He breathed heavily before muttering his choice of words.

"Athena, I suggest you go home. Somebody poured an unusual chemical into your drink a while ago. Do you have someone with you? Any companion, perhaps?"

Knight almost spat in disgust because of how holy he sounded. This is not him. He would've probably taken advantage of the situation, especially how attracted he is to her and she is to him as well, but it's the other way round.

"What are you saying, Mr. Knight?" Athena chuckled.

He clenched his teeth hard. Why does she look so effortlessly sexy and hot? How he wished to hear her utter his name with her pleased face and satisfied heart.

"Ahh~" Athena acted like she was dizzy and getting out of balance.

Knight grabbed her again so she would not fall. He didn't know if she was doing it on purpose or if she was really not feeling well, but one thing's for sure, if she's acting, then it's affecting him so badly.

He confirmed it right away, when Athena let go of his hold and felt a burning sensation when she touched him. The fear and confusion in her eyes when she looked at him is evident, far from the feisty and confident lady in red who came up to her a while ago.

"Sh*t. Athena wake up," she chanted to herself.

Knight cocked his head to the side. The bullets of sweat in her body, the way she felt electrified with his touch, and her blurry and sensitive vision, not to mention her dizziness and probably headache.

'This is bad.' Knight told himself.

"I'll take you home," said Knight, grabbing her hand and dragging her out of the lounge.

For that short period of time, he thought of the choices he should make. He can take her home, but with the chemicals effecting her, it would be a bad choice. Right, he'll just get a cab for her and send her the fvck alone.

"Let's go!" She harshly took her hands away.

When he looked back at Athena, her eyes were screaming lust and hidden desire. He looked at the moon, which was bright and full. He cursed himself when he shut his eyes tightly.

He's never felt this attracted to someone that it's driving him insane. He couldn't pinpoint the root of her desires. Is it just his libido, his wolf or the full moon?

"I'll get you a cab," he said with finality and turned his back on her.

She called him "Knight" and touched his arm.

His senses were awakened. The familiar itching under his skin started. His teeth clenched at each other so that he almost heard them screeching.

He could see how his angelic eyes hid a hint of the devil.

"Will you take me home?" she asked and bit her lip.

He gulped. ' No, you're not doing it right, lady. I'll do you the honor of biting your lips for you. '

And that made Knight lose his senses. Before he even realized it, he was devouring Athena in his car, and it's a miracle that he was still able to drive into his penthouse and stop himself from doing Athena in his car.

But more than all the circumstances that have happened to him tonight, he's even more shocked to know that he'll be taking a virgin woman. Knight couldn't even continue. But seeing her pleasure face and the way she begged him to do her more, he couldn't stop it.

"Fvck. I'm a fvcking as*hole."

Knight's patience hit the roof. He let go of any of his thoughts and gave everything he got to please her, for the very first time.

Athena's POV

"Fvck! Sh*t!" I covered my mouth with my palm and stared at the man's peaceful face beside me.

Did I just give my virginity to my last conquest? To the man whom I'm trying to deceive? What the hell? I'm doomed. Big time.
