Betrayed Luna's Second Chance Alphas
Betrayed Luna’s Second Chance Alphas – Chapter 18

-Riley-

The freaking Lycan Prince. A blue b***d. A bloody royalty. Just my f*cking luck.

“I would rather k**s you, Riley.”

And the one who grumbled things like that in this really erotic voice that made every cell in my body tremble. No, I couldn’t take anymore of this man, without tearing my dress off and shackling myself to his bed, and then begging him to do whatever he wanted with me, once again.

“No, stop,” I shook my head with a frown. “Don’t say things like that to me.”

“Why not?” He looked curious as he sat back down on the bed and I moved hurriedly away from him and he gave me a weird look. “What happened to you?”

“I think we should keep our distance from now on. I don’t need this mess.”

His brows furrowed as he narrowed his eyes at me.

“Why now? Why this epiphany all of a sudden? Because I am a prince? This is why I didn’t want to tell you anything,” he grumbled under his breath. “Yeah, forget it.” For the first time since I met him, he was acting like a grumpy kid, and not his usual kind of sexy grumpy.

“What is the difference, again?”

“The second one makes me want to do things to him, and the first one… makes me want to do everything to make him happy.”

“I still don’t get the difference, but go on,” Gem said.

“Ok, I have forgotten it. Now, is there any way I can get the kids out of the pack without the as.shole stopping me from doing it? I can’t hurt him back, I can’t get my revenge if he keeps threatening my pups.”

Roman’s eyes darkened as he leaned closer. I could almost taste the tension in the air. My heart roared, as my skin tingled. The look in his eyes… it made me want to cross my legs, or open it wide for him.

“I prefer the second one.”

“Shut your piehole!”

“What now? Why are you looking at me like-like that?” I asked as he took in a sharp breath, his eyes darting at mine before flicking away. His eyes swirled in something more potent than l**t, but… I couldn’t trust myself to read anything anymore.

“You know when you call them… my pups…” he leaned closer to me and my breath snagged in my throat. I didn’t know how he did that, but he moved like he was going to hunt me and I felt like I wouldn’t mind it.

“And?” I gulped as his dark brown eyes met mine. I blushed, feeling a surge of desire shoot through my body. He didn’t say anything, but I couldn’t breathe from just that look.

“And I had this image of little ones with wild red curls that wouldn’t stay put-” He tugged at my hair and then wrapped a finger around a lock of my curl as if it was so normal to do so. “And bewitching green eyes that could steal a man’s sanity and make him go insane running around you and…” he stopped and blinked. “Yeah.” He cleared his throat as he licked his lips. “You are amazing, Riley. What you did for those kids was amazing.”

“I did nothing special. I did what I had always hoped someone would have done for me, but I had learned to survive all by myself until I met Dee and her parents.” And Keller, too.

He nodded. “I can talk with my dad about it and-“

“The king?” My eyes widened as I looked at him. “The king is your dad! I me-mean, are you going to talk with the king, the king who is your dad, who is also the king, and your dad is the king and the king is-“

“Stop that verbal diarrhea, please. STOP now. I command you.”

I would give anything to stop myself from humiliating myself further, but my running mouth just wouldn’t stop.

I pushed half a cheeseburger inside my mouth, finally, to stop myself from saying more. Goddess! What the hell was wrong with me?

Roman’s lips twitched and he looked at me as if he was wondering whether he should laugh at me or not. And then he couldn’t stop the smile, at all.

“Dhoo noth laff.”

“I am not laughing,” he said even as he laughed. i***t Prince.

I chewed quickly and almost choked on my burger. Roman chuckled as he handed me the glass of orange juice.

“Take a deep breath, Riley and drink that. And yes. My king, the dad. s**t, I mean, my dad, the king. I can talk with him and maybe arrange something to let the pups go somewhere for a while.”

“Like a school trip maybe,” I said to him and he nodded. “But some of them are still too young.”

“That is a good idea. Or we can just send them all to our pack house. It is bigger…”

“Hiran would know it is me, but he wouldn’t dare say no if you asked him. But you had to do it in such a way that he wouldn’t suspect you, only me. I mean, if he did…”

Roman nodded. “You are right. That sounds good. I should talk with Ashelene. She is good with kids and she loves them. She could show them around the castle, but we still-“

I knew we were talking about my pups and that was where my mind should be, but I couldn’t shake myself from the name Ashelene. I wrinkled my nose.

“Do not blurt-“

“Who is Ashelene?” I hissed.

“Ash is my-” He scratched his chin as if he had all the time in the world to tell me who the hell this Ash was. I didn’t know why I felt so envious whenever he talked about a woman. I had never been a jealous woman, but suddenly with Roman… ugh, this f*****g Lycan was confusing. “-sister.”

You know that moment when the characters describe how they were letting out the breath they didn’t know they were holding… I had made fun of that a few times, but that was exactly how I felt that moment.

“Oh, your sister.”

His eyes sharpened and I avoided his assessing gaze. “Yes, she is good at this, too. But we had to first find a reason to convince your ba*tard mate.”

“Reid can help with that. Now are you going to tell me why you are here?”

“It is a long story, Riley,” he whispered, as I bit into my chocolate cake and chewed and glared. I knew if I stopped eating, I would

once again start to say something I probably shouldn’t.

He was too big for this room. His essence was too big for this room. And even when we were not touching, my body was sending signals to my brain, which I knew would be an absolute disaster. No. Only pups and purposes. Not s*x and sinful man. No.

“Tell me the shorter version for now.”

There was only silence. I stood up from the bed with irritation. “For goddess’ sake, do you still believe that I am going to run to Hiran and tell about this?” I growled under my breath. “You know what, I should go.” I pulled the door to the room open and stopped when he grabbed my by my shoulder.

“No, I don’t think so. But it is also dangerous and I don’t want to put you in a situation where this information might hurt you.”

“I don’t care, Roman. I want to help you,” I said in a soft voice and he sighed as he leaned closer to me and I jerked when I felt his nose softly bump against the back of my neck. My skin tingled.

“It is a big market- selling werewolves off to scientists and underground clubs. Mostly omegas, but sometimes others too, especially when they don’t have any family to look for them. Wolf racketeering had been going on for a while, and we have been trying to stop it.”

“And you think Hiran is a part of it?”

“We think he is a big part of it,” Roman growled out as I felt his canine pressing into my skin. I trembled. I wanted to turn around, but my body simply refused to move.

“That is disgusting, and abominable. I would have been surprised if you told this to me any other time. But now I didn’t have any qualms about accepting it. He is ugly enough to do this.”

“I am sorry, Riley, for this,” he breathed out as his hands wrapped around my stomach like a band of steel. “If you don’t want me to touch you, if what you said about keeping our distances is real… tell me now, Riley. Because… I am going to touch you now and I wouldn’t be able to stop if I start.” His hands crawled up from my stomach, but I knew he was waiting for my permission.

I grabbed his hand in mine and pressed it against my aching breast. He fondled my breast roughly, pinching my n.pple until they were hard little nubs. I wiggled my a*s against his e******n and he g*****d into my ears.

“How could I keep my distance, Kitten, when you smell like this, when you look like this? You know, I’d been staring at you all night,” he continued, his voice dropping to a low whisper. “And I can’t help but want your lips everywhere on me. Everywhere.”

My breath caught as he leaned in closer, his hot breath fanning behind my neck, softly tickling me. I whirled around and slammed my body against his and his g***n filled the night.

“Maybe my lips want the same,” I whispered. The tension between us had been building all night, and I no longer could say no or resist this. I was a weak, f*cking h*ssy for him.

“Oh, oh, my sinful kitten,” he g*****d, his voice low and husky.

He stared at me for a second before he took my mouth with his. The k**s started slow at first, deliberate, and lazy, but soon it became more intense. Fast. Furious. As if he had only a second to k**s and he wanted everything in that second. My body shook from the power of his k**s.

His k****s were electric, filled with a raw, primal passion that left us both gasping for breath.

I tugged at his hair, pulling him closer and deepened the k**s, moving my body against him in an insane need that just wouldn’t go away. A part of me, the rational one, knew I should pull away. I couldn’t anger Hiran twice in one night. But even when I knew what was logical, I wanted to be illogical.

Roman’s hands roamed down my back, pulling me even closer as he tasted me, his tongue exploring every inch of my mouth with a hunger that was unmatched.

As he continued to k**s me, I felt a surge of energy run through my body.

I shuddered as I pulled back from him and my eyes widened in surprise. I could see his power, once again, flaring around him, and somehow it was both frightening and arousing to know that he trusted me enough to let me see this side of him.

He didn’t lose a moment of control last night when we were taking each other. But… this felt more intimate. Like something had changed. But nothing did. He was still my one-night- or maybe a few-nights-stand, and then he would go back to his life and I would go back to mine.

“No… no, this is a mistake.”

He pushed me against the wall, his hand cupping my chin. I g*****d when he moved closer to me. “This isn’t a mistake. Do not lie to me, Kitten,” he growled out. “Tell me what you truly want. And no lies. I can already smell you.” His breath was hot on my cheeks and I knew the answer before he even asked me.

I bit my lower l*p as I looked up into his eyes. I couldn’t stop now. It was too late to stop. My body was responding to his growl and his scent. “I want you to f*ck me.”
