The Luna's Pure Heart
The Luna’s Pure Heart – Chapter 89

(Lance pov)

Walking into that room, the last thing I expected to see was my sweet kitten dressed up like a sexy little minx and asking us out on a date.. Holy s**t, how the hell did we get so damn lucky with this one? To be honest, Lucas and I have no f*****g idea what we are doing..growing up as an identical twins, we have been connected through everything. We knew we would both have to share a mate and expected it..but that doesn’t mean our mate would be prepared to find out that there would be two of us..and we always feared that might only want one of us and not the other? Or what if she was completely freaked out and decided to run her a*s as far away from us as possible.

That’s why as soon as we met Rachel, we decided to let her call the shots..as hard as it has been..in all ways possible..we did just that. So slowly we have been building a friendship which was enough for me right at the moment..but my wolf Ash on the other hand was struggling hard.

Maybe that’s why I have been focusing a lot of my time on Angel. She is something else too..I don’t feel for her like most men would..I feel like angel is a part of me. Like her soul and my soul are kindred spirits. Something about her since the moment I met her stood out to me and I wanted to protect her with my life. Plus, it’s an added bonus to be able to piss off Damion.

Maybe that’s another reason why I care so much about Angel..she is not only my best friend, but she is my Queen..my Luna and I know it is ingrained in me to protect her because I am the Beta.

But the fact that she saved Damion..my oldest friend..the guy who I honestly thought had given up on life and the will to live all together. She gave him purpose..she is carrying his freaking pup for goddess sake.. Eleanor is f*****g awesome and she made it possible for us to meet our mate.

I glanced over at Lucas as he held Kitten’s hand gently.

‘I told you she was ready..’

I linked, causing him to internally g***n. Lucas and I have always been connected, even from the very start. Our wolves can even communicate with each other in our minds. I guess it’s a twin thing..but I honestly feel like Lucas and I are as far apart personality-wise as we can get.

Not to brag, but I’m the happy-go-lucky one whereas Lucas is more calm and practical. I am your f*****g ride or die..want to go attack the rogue village a few miles from here and start some s**t? Okay, I’m in..yeah that did happen with Damion more than once. But Lucas is the guy you need if you want a reality check and honesty. So I guess we really do balance each other out.

“Kitten, you look absolutely scrumptious tonight.” I whispered into her ear, causing her to giggle as she bit her l*p seductively.

The sad thing is she doesn’t even know just how sexy she is. Even when she wears baggy shirts with jeans and has her hair up in a messy bun with her reading glasses on..she is beyond words.

“You don’t think it’s too much?” She asked, glancing between the two of us.

“I think it’s just perfect.” Lucas lifted her hand, placing his lips on the back of her knuckles as he kissed her gently.

I glanced up at her face, waiting for that shade of pink I loved so much to show..and sure enough, there it was. But this time it was met with something else..her eyes almost looked glazed over like they were drowning in l**t..oh boy, is she going to be in trouble. If she starts looking at us like that Ash and Dakota might just make an appearance tonight.

“Gentlemen, lady, we have just arrived.” Our driver George informed us, or wait..was it Ben? I have no freaking clue and I’m pretty sure if he said his name once again I still wouldn’t know because this girl has my head swimming.

“Shall we?” Lucas asked softly, his eyes wandering down the length of her as she nodded her head nervously.

Lucas then quickly slid out, extending his hand for Rachel as she took it carefully and let him help her step out. I was quick to follow, her caramel apple scent swirling around me as it literally made my mouth water.

She glanced over her shoulder at me, her knuckles grazing the back of my hand as I quickly took it and interlaced our fingers together.

I couldn’t help myself…now that I know she is ready for us..that she wants to move forward I needed to see my kitten squirm.

Leaning forward I placed my mouth right against her ear as I whispered quietly.

“Kitten, that dress is stunning, but I have a feeling whatever is underneath it will blow me away even more.” My warm breath sent a visible shudder trembling through her as the smell of her arousal hit me like a damn truck.

Lucas’s eyes snapped to mine, the look of disapproval very apparent as he continued to lead us toward the restaurant.

‘You know you are making this very hard for our wolves..they are already arguing enough already.

He linked, shooting a glare my way as I shrugged innocently.

‘Just testing the waters..and may I say our mate seems more than ready.’

I smiled widely just as we reached the front desk to confirm our reservation. I couldn’t help but watch as Rachel looked around the room in awe..her blue eyes were big and full of wonder as she took in the sight before her.

“Do you like it, beautiful?” I asked quietly, letting Lucas handle all the technical stuff as I focused solely on our girl.

Rachel nodded her head, her smile so genuine and full of pure bliss as I couldn’t help but linger on her perfectly plump lips. She is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen..I know I shouldn’t compare..but with Angel, she looks ethereal, her silver hair and fair skin make her look just like her name. Like something otherworldly, but with Rachel..she is a classic beauty..her face and long light brown hair are so naturally stunning. Even her long eyelashes and smooth skin..I know some women who go to dark witches just to get stuff like that..and here is our mate, just born with this beauty…and no..I’m not biased because I have seen the way men have been gawking at her from the moment we got here.

If I wasn’t busy gawking myself I might have done something about it..but I’m kind of under her spell right now..and boy do I like it.

We somehow made it to our table and Lucas ordered us some wine, he was classy like that..

“Sweetheart, order anything you want. Even more than one thing if you like.” Lucas encouraged her and I watched her studying the menu intently. Her brows furrowing together as I exchanged a look with Lucas..one that said..how the hell is she so cute?!

We decided to sit across the table from her..that way we could both have the best view.

“Did you have fun today kitten?” I reached my hand across the table, gripping her hand as she nodded.

“It was a lot of fun, I really like Dani, she is so sweet and funny.” I felt the relief washing over me..knowing she is making friends and accepting Night Shade so easily. I was afraid this would be too hard for her..that she would miss River Rock and wouldn’t want to stay.

“Yeah..Dani is definitely a troublemaker..” I muttered, making Rachel giggle as the sound made my heart flutter with excitement.

Just then, our server walked over and I swear his eyes practically bulged out when they landed on Rachel..

“Good evening, I am your server Josh..are you ready to order?” He smiled brightly and just stared at Rachel the whole damn time. I was about to let out a warning growl when Lucas surprisingly beat me to it.

“I would appreciate it if you didn’t stare at our mate like that..Josh.” he gritted through his teeth, making the kid stand up straighter and snap his eyes to us..as if realizing we were actually here. The best part was when he realized who we were and how he began profusely apologizing.

Lucas was just staring across the table, the tension growing immensely as Rachel met his gaze. Her eyes were full of pure raw desire and I knew right then and there we should probably get this food to go.

Somehow we managed to order something, even though our eyes never left our mates and we sat there staring for who knows how long.

“Should we..” she began but before she could even finish our dishes were placed in front of us and she looked down, breaking the tension.

‘s**t dude, I don’t know how much longer I can last.’

I linked to Lucas, hearing his wolf express the same exact thoughts in our mind.

‘Let’s just eat then we can go to that hotel right across the way. There is no way we can make it all the way back to the castle.’

I had to do a double take as I looked at my always composed and held-together brother bursting at the seams. This was almost just as satisfying as seeing Rachel in that gorgeous dress earlier. Lucas rarely breaks out of character..and I have to admit..I live for those damn moments.

I watched Rachel eat her steak slowly, my eyes glued to her mouth as she licked them carefully and then took a sip of wine. I am getting rock-hard just from that one action alone..f**k me..

Lucas and I practically inhaled our food, eating as fast as we could just so we can get the hell out of here. When Rachel took her last bite I felt that anticipation rising once more.

“Would you like some dessert Sweetheart?” Lucas managed to ask, fighting every urge to throw her over his shoulder and rip that dress to shreds.

Trust me, I can see the images flashing through his mind..and they are definitely not helping.

Rachel shook her head no and leaned forward slightly, causing me and Lucas to do the same.

“I’m ready to get out of here..to be honest, my wolf was ready to leave the moment we walked in.” She admitted candidly. Her bravery surprising both of us as I swallowed hard, it was like every inch of my body screamed to touch her..yeah we needed to leave now.

“Check please.” I suddenly yelled, causing half the room to jump and turn their heads toward us.

My eagerness made a sweet giggle fall from Rachel’s lips, causing my situation to become even more uncomfortable as I had to adjust myself under the table.

After paying and trying not to laugh at the poor server who was avoiding Rachel at all costs now, for fear of what Lucas would do to him..we both stood and went to help Rachel up.

Our hands finding hers as we held them carefully, walking her out the door, and instead of going to the car we literally went straight across the road.

“Where are we going? Isn’t the car that way?” She asked all innocently.

“Kitten, we won’t make it to the castle..we need you now.” My words rumbled from deep within me, causing her to gasp as she nodded her head and quickly noted the hotel we were now racing towards.

One thing I know for sure..this little kitten is ours, and we are going to mark and claim her..letting the rest of the damn world know that it too.
