Chapter 69 Candy, Amber and Feet
November 16th
Later that afternoon I showered in preparation for Luca''s party.
"Don''te in. I''m changing!" I called as I heard Leo enter the bedroom realising I hadn''t locked the
bathroom door.
My wet hair was dripping down my back and all I had on was my panties, bra and a short white
undershirt.
"Leo!" I eximed as he shamelessly walked in anyway.
"I wasn''t nning oning in until you mentioned changing," he replied looking at myck of clothes.
"Inappropriate," I stated turning around to reach for my denim skirt. I felt him wrap his arms around my
waist.
I took a deep breath in as I felt his body press against mine
"I just showered and we''ll be..." I began before he flipped me around and I noticed the look on his
unbelievably handsome face. "...Late."
He cocked his head to the side that sexy expression refusing to be usurped.
"Are you sure?" he whispered into my ear before gently kissing my mark. "I can make it quick."
"Absolutely sure," I moaned.
"Positive?" He asked deepening the kiss on my mark. A wave of pleasure spun through my body and I
leant further into my mate. "You can''t lie to me again and say you don''t feel like it."
"Lie to you? Again?" I questioned.
"I know exactly what you''re doing, Ells," he whispered. "You have the power to deny me something I
want badly and you''re gonna exploit that."
I put my hands on his chest and gave him a small push, "I''m not trying to have a war with you, Leo. But
after seeing youst nighte home covered in the blood of all the people you killed...and the way
you spoke and the things you said...I can''t just let you have me. That would be saying that I am okay
with that. But I''m not."
He narrowed his eyes, "So yes. You won''t let me fuck you because you don''t want me to ''win''."
I only looked up to him only waiting for him to let go of me. His eyes were now once again cold and
angry and his grip on me was tight.
Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.
"You can''t resist me forever," he said before bringing his lips to my ear, "So I will win."
He then left the bathroom leaving me alone once again.
We didn''t speak much again until we arrived at Luca''s house an hourter. We werete but Leo had
disappeared to his office for half an hour after our disagreement. I didn''t know what he was doing but
when he returned, he was far calmer and we left as soon as we were ready.
Luca bounded straight up to us, a beaming smile on his face.
"Alpha! Luna!" he bellowed wrapping his arms around both myself AND Leo.
There was nothing funnier than Luca except for Luca when drunk.
"Hey Luca," I replied before he finally released us from the bear hug.
"Howe you guys are an hourte!?" he asked.
"We got a little...tied up," Leo answered.
"Ohhhh! I get you Alpha!" He shouted a little too loudly forfort. "You totally had sex!"
"Luca keep your voice down!" I whisper-shouted.
"Sorry Luna. I have no social filter when I''m drunk," he replied in a hushed childish tone.
"You never have a social filter," Leo pointed out.
"And we didn''t have sex," I hissed. "We definitely didn''t have sex."
Luca narrowed his eyes, "What''s going on with you two? Alpha, when was thest time you had a
fuck."
"Not since he had a major personality change. I only have sex with my mate and whoever inhabited his
bodyst night, is not my mate," I replied.
"E, if you''re going to disrespect me, at least do it where I can''t hear because thest thing you want
to do it piss me off more than I already am," Leo growled grabbing my arm.
"I think you two need a drink," Luca said. "Come on."
"I''m sure the future Alpha likes fruit punch," he said after pouring a cup of the red liquid for me. "And I''m
sure the current Alpha likes beer," he added handing Leo a can.
Leo immediately took my cup out of my hand and smelt it his face on full alert.
"Luca this is red wine, you moron. Are you trying to poison my heir?!" Leo yelled.
"Sorry Alpha. I must have got the bottles confused," he replied scratching his head in a confused
manner. "Allison!"
"Yes," Allison replied appearing with a pretty brte next to her a few secondster.
"Where''s the punch?" Luca asked. "You said you brought punch."
"There isn''t any fruit punch Luca. That''s the fourth time you''ve asked me this evening," Allison
exined. "Hello, Alpha. Hi E," she added acknowledging us. "And I think you have had enough of
that tonight," she finished taking the beer can out of Luca''s hand just before he took another swig.
She left with the dark-haired girl, who looked a simr age, shortly before Luca picked up another beer
can.
"Let me find you some orange juice Luna."
"I''m gonna go and talk to Allison," I asked Leo once Luca had got me the orange juice and then got
distracted by God knows what.
Allison was stood by the stairs talking to the same girl. I wanted to tell her all about the sess of the
leaflets. I knew it was already public news around the pack but she deserved to know first hand what it
was like to see those kids go home.
"No. Stay with me," he replied holding my hand tighter and leading me away from the stairs.
"Why-"
"Because I said so," he snapped.
Before I could protest again, somebody called his name.
"Alpha! Let''s do shots!"
Of course. It was Luca.
"Who could say no to that...?" Leo asked as Luca vaguely sloshed some vodka into three veryrge
shot sses although half of it ended up on the floor.
He then passed them around, thrusting one into my hands.
"Luca I can''t-" I began but he seemed fairly oblivious. Instead, Leo took the vodka out of my hand.
"He definitely has something against that baby," Leo muttered before downing the two sses in
seconds.
A couple of hours and many more rounds of shotster Leo was kinda tipsy.
He dragged me to what appeared to be the dance floor.
"Any good at disco dancing?" Leo asked and I almost choked on my orange juice.
"I can do the macarena?" I offered as he took my drink and put it on the side.
"hmmm," he replied.
"Cha cha slide?" I questioned.
"Nah."
"Ohe on!" I eximed causing him to chuckle.
"I bet you can do the ketchup and fast food song too?"
"A pizza hut a pizza hut Kentucky fried chi-," I began with actions and all.
"Just stop. You''re exposing your self," heughed pulling me into his chest as the song changed to a
''candy shop'' by 50 cent.
"I fucking hate this song," I groaned causing him to chuckle.
"Why don''t we add it to your very limited list of dances?" he whispered before cing his hand firmly on
my ass.
I gasped as a smirk swept his face. He then spun me around and pulled me back in so that my back
was on his front whilst rocking to the beat of the music.
"We''re doing this, are we?" I asked leaning closer to him. "You''re going to regret it in the morning," I
whispered in his ear.
"Let me live a little," he replied.
If you have never heard this song I suggest you go and listen to it and then I guess you''ll get the
picture.
I could feel eyes watching us but I had the sort of freedom not to care that alcohol gave you, despite
not a drop passing through my syste.
Half way into the song, he pulled my lips into his and I allowed him to. Although, I was only expecting a
quick peck- the pr opposite to what I received. I could almost feel his tongue poking out my but
hole.
Just before the song ended it switched to ''Anaconda'' by Nicki Minaj.
"Oh hell no. We''re not doing this one," he replied pulling me off the dance floor and back into the hall as
I giggled.
"I love this song!" I heard Luca scream shortly before he practically fell down the stairs and into the
room. Iughed as I watch him start to twerk against ir who needless to say was horrified.
At that point Leo backed me up against the wall and cing one hand on the wall and the other under
my chin to lift my gaze to his eyes. He gazed into mine for a few seconds before leaning into my lips.
We kissed for a few minutes before I felt his hand reach underneath the hem of my skirt. I turned my
head away, but he only pulled it back into position.
"Leo you''re drunk," I stated, but he didn''t even acknowledge that I said anything at all and only slipped
his hand further up my skirt and began kissing my neck. "And I thought I already made it clear earlier
that I''m not having sex with you."
He took his hands away from my skirt but he continued to kiss me.
"Leo you''re drunk," I repeated putting my hands on either side of his face and gently pushing him
away.
"I heard you the first time," he replied not budging.
"Then why aren''t you listening?" I asked.
He pulled away and let out a frustrated breath, "So I can''t even kiss my own Luna anymore?"
I tried to step away from him, but in response Leo grabbed my wrist tightly and forcefully pulled me
back against the wall.
He then looked around. Only a few people had noticed, but he still looked pissed off.
He drew his attention back to me and I shivered at the darkness in his eyes.
"Are you trying to humiliate me in front of my pack?" he whispered angrily.
I shook my head.
"Then stop resisting me," he growled.
Just then ir appeared from behind us.
"Alpha, can I talk to you for a second?" he said as he looked from Leo to me and swallowed, "I''m sorry
for interrupting but it''s important."
"Duty calls. Stay right here," he ordered.
I nodded before the pair left and entered Luca''s office.
I leant against the wall breathing heavily.
What the hell was that all about?
Somehow I managed to make eye contact with Allison. She beckoned me over and I had to have a
mental debate with myself.
She was only about five metres away at the stairs so I decided Leo wouldn''t mind too much.
"Are you okay? I saw what happened with the Alpha," she said cing aforting hand on my arm.
"Oh yeah. It''s just...he''s been acting strangely recently..." I replied rearranging my dishevelled hair.
"Do you know why?" she asked.
"Nope, but I''m sure it will stop just as quickly as it started," I said positively although not entirely
convinced.
"Let''s hope so. If not, send Elena to p some sense into him," she replied before he brte friend
joined us. "E this is my friend Amber- ir''s sister."
"Nice to meet you, Luna," she greeted holding out her hand.
I smiled weakly. Amber...ir''s sister...the one Leo slept with...
"Hi," I said taking her hand.
"I feel like I should apologise to you Luna. ir told me that he and you found out about my intimacy
with the Alpha and I know that an apology doesn''t cut it, but I truly am sorry. I didn''t consider the
feelings of his future mate and when I heard that he had found you I immediately felt dreadful and
ashamed," she exined.
"Apology entirely epted. It was his decision too and I know what he can be like," I replied. She
seemed too sweet to reject. And anyway, it''s not like she''s the only pack member Leo has slept with
and I don''t a line of girls waiting to apologise. There were probably countless girls at this very party.
"Thank you, Luna," she said a wide smile sweeping across her face.
"Please call me E," I answered and the smile only grew.
"Unfortunately not everyone is forgiving as you E," she said, "ir is still furious with me."
"Who''s older?" I asked.
"Him, but only by 3 months," she replied.
"I presume in his eyes those 3 months makes him in charge of you?" I questioned.
"Oh of course. The controlling and protectiveness never stops," sheined.
"Tell me about it. My brother and I were brought up like humans for half our lives, but it''s obviously in
their lycan nature to be that way," I exined.
"If only Luca was your brother," Allison said looking over to her the gamma of this pack who was
performing some strange chant hitting two frying pans together whilst stood on the kitchen table.
"Did his Mother drop him on his head at birth or something?" Amber asked. "Honestly, it''s a good job
he''s cute and funny or he''d have no hope."
"Well we all know how you feel about Luca Amber," Allison giggled whilst raising her eyebrows as she
took arge swig of her drink.
"Ssshhh!! I thought we agreed never to bring that up again!?" Amber eximed.
"Even though he''s demoted me three factions and I don''t like the man, I can sort of see why you might
go for the Alpha," Allison exined "But Luca?! He has the mental age of a two-year-old!"
"Oh he has a big boy side alright," Amber sniggered.
"Okay, that''s gross. You just crossed the line!" I shouted covering my ears.
For the next 10 minutes, we chatted andughed about this and that and Amber and I exchanged
numbers. She was one of the nicest people I had ever met and we already were making ns to go out
with Allison too.
I told Allison all about the Junior institute sess at which she was delighted. Thankfully, she''d also
received no further discipline from Leo for helping me make the flyers.
Leo soon came back into the hall. He immediately noticed that I wasn''t where he ordered me to stay
and began scanning the hall for me.
"Oh shit, he''s angry" I whispered with my heart beating fast at the expression on his face. "I want a
colourful funeral, with lot''s of ice cream and Pizza," I said quickly to Allison and Amber before Leo
spotted the three of us and began striding across the house. "And I want them to y ''That''s amore'' by
Dean Martin."
"Colourful, ice cream, pizza and Dean Martin. Got it," Allison replied as Leo reached me and seized my
arm.
"See you there!" I called as I was pulled towards the front door.
"What the fuck are you doing?" Leo hissed as he shoved me against his car.
"I was talking to Allison and Amber. She''s a lovely girl actually," I replied honestly, "I can see what you
saw in her."
"You were disobeying my orders," he corrected.
"I moved five metres!" I eximed. "What is up with you at the moment?!"
Big mistake.
"When are you going to learn?" he asked.
I drew my eyes to the ground.
"I forbid you from ever speaking to Amber again," he snarled. "Do you understand me?"
I nodded.
There was a lot I had to say in that moment, but for some reason, I just couldn''t.
"I''m taking you home," he announced holding my hand and beginning to stride into the woods leaving
the car outside Luca''s house.
The walk was totally silent. I held Leo''s hand tightly with the memory of what happenedst time we
walked this way after a party.
"What did ir want to talk to you about?" I asked eventually.
"A fire out in one of the factions," he said, "Probably set by rogues."
"Was anyone hurt?" I asked.
"No and it''s been dealt with," he exined.
"That''s like the fourth incident within a couple of days, Leo," I said.
"I know," he replied.
"Are you sure there''s nothing I should be worrying about?"
At that point, there was a slight rustle in the bushes and I moved myself closer to him.
He wrapped an arm around me.
"It''s probably just a sheep," he whispered with a smile on his lips.
"That''s not funny!" I replied as we heard the rustle again.
"Okay, okay, I will go and check," he said. "Stay here and I mean it this time."
He stalked over to the source of the noise as I watched glued to my designated spot.
And that was when I felt somebody grab me from behind. I managed to let out a tiny scream before my
mouth was covered and something cold and sharp held at my throat.
Leo spun around and in seconds the attacker had his own knife at his own throat along with Leo''s hand
as he was pinned to the ground.
"Who are you?" Leo growled his voice rumbling through the forest.
"The first of many," he whispered his voice hoarse from suffocation.
"Who sent you?" Leo asked only holding him tighter around the windpipe.
"You are going to kill me either way so why would I talk?" he replied his voice growing ever weaker.
Leo red up into the forest wearing a very pissed off expression. He then merciless swept the knife
across the man''s neck and his desperate breaths for air ceased.
I gasped as I saw the wound.
"That was an assassination attempt," Leo said checking the bush we hear the first rustle from.
"Next time can we just stay the night at Luca''s?" I asked as Leo wrapped his armsfortingly around
me, "This particr walk seems to be quite treacherous."
"Well..." he said, "It certainly sobered me up this time. But had I had any more to drink he might as well
of buttered you up."
I looked up at him confused.
"What is that meant to mean?" I questioned.
"Because you''d be toast and you put butter on toast," he exined.
"Right..." I mumbled.
"I like your skirt by the way."
"Thanks," I replied. "Why do you say that now?"
"I''ve been thinking it all evening, but I kept forgetting to say," he said.
"Fair enough," I replied.
"I like what you''ve done with your feet too," he added.
"My feet?" I asked.
"Yeah, you''ve done something different with them."
"Nope. Just my everyday average feet," I said looking down at my slightly dirty converse.
"Well they look hot," he announced.
"Do you have a foot fetish?" I asked. "Or are you just a little drunk."
"Can a man not simplypliment his woman''s feet?" he questioned. "So judgemental..." he added in
a mumble.
Definitely drunk.
