Alpha Rejected His True Luna Chapter 116: Tried To Comfort You

Zara

"Useful?" Alpha Kane’s eyes blazed, but I stood my ground. "What good is a connection with that wolf to ?"

"If I can get to him at the right mont, who knows what I might overhear?" My gaze remained firm and unwavering, but my lips curled into a sly smile.

The connection with Marcus felt like a silver shard lodged in my blood. Of course, part of longed for him, but the rest of couldn’t stand the enemies. I felt neither hostility nor disgust toward Alpha Kane, as his touch and presence seed to consu entirely.

However, I couldn’t deny that the connection with Marcus had its perks. If I managed to establish this connection, I could drop in on him at any mont. Who knew what plans I might overhear?

I saw the pain hidden beneath the seething rage in Alpha Asher’s eyes and ignored the sharp pain it pierced with. I couldn’t put into words my feelings for Alpha Kane.

How can you explain how soone’s re presence consus you? How can their touch ignite every cell, every nerve ending in your body? Even though I wanted more from Alpha Kane, I would have agreed to anything to stay by his side.

I desperately hoped the Moon Goddess wouldn’t be cruel and bind to soone like Marcus. Another problem, buried so deeply that I didn’t allow it to surface, troubled .

If Marcus were my mate, it ant terrible things were destined for . If Alpha Kane were my mate, it ant I would beco the Luna of his vast pack.

Alpha Kane knew there was nothing we could do to remove Marcus’s mark from my neck without my mate claiming it. This thought made my heart pound as I looked into Alpha Kane’s dark eyes.

"I don’t want him, Kane." I shook my head, my heart pounding as I took the risky step. "But I want this war to end, and I want our pack to feel safe again. We both know that what I’m eavesdropping on could change everything."

Sothing flickered in the deep obsidian depths of Alpha Kane’s eyes, a feeling I wasn’t prepared for. For a mont, I feared he’d be angry that I’d forgotten his title, but a glimr of pride flashed in his eyes.

Gradually, his stubborn determination gave way to irritated acceptance. I knew he wanted to keep safe, to keep Marcus from touching what was his, but he had to know how far I was willing to go.

"I don’t want him touching you again, Zara," Alpha Kane growled, his jaw muscles tensing. "Keep your distance, but listen carefully."

While Alpha Kane was still seething with anger, I couldn’t help but smile. I hadn’t expected him to actually listen to , as an equal. Feeling bold and eager to see just how far his feelings for had gone, I rose from the bed.

The silk blanket fell to the floor, revealing every inch of my soft skin. This ti, I didn’t feel cold, as Alpha Kane’s dark gaze chased away the lingering chill.

Instead of awakening a sweet, anger-shrouded lust in Alpha Kane, I did sothing I’d never done before. I walked up to him, as if his searing gaze didn’t make every inch of my skin flush, and wrapped my arms around his neck.

I felt him tense, probably thinking the sa thing. I’d never made the first move, and I’d certainly never tried to comfort him. Instead of looking him in the eye, I buried my face in his chest, letting his all-consuming scent fill my nose. Cedar, and just a hint of sothing sweet, earthy, and incredibly enticing.

Slowly, his tense posture relaxed, and his large arms wrapped around my waist. My heart was pounding, but a small smile appeared on my face, hidden by his dark shirt.

Very quickly, my face lifted from Alpha Kane’s chest as he lifted into the air. His rough hands gripped my hips, sending a blissful wave to my heart.

His dark eyes stared into mine, his pupils blending with the dark color. His full lips twitched in a smile as his hands...

"Do you feel tender, Zara?" "Alpha Kane smirked, his sly expression causing a disbelieving blush to appear on my cheeks.

I narrowed my eyes at Alpha Kane. "I tried to comfort you, and you still won’t let touch you."

My fingers trembled at the thought of feeling the hard surface of his stomach and the softness of his skin.

Alpha Kane’s sly grin widened, and amusent glead in his eyes. His hands grabbed my buttocks, pressing against him.

"I let you touch , Zara."

My throat tightened at his words, and my body responded to his touch. I knew what he was talking about, but in my eyes, it didn’t matter.

He never let run my fingers over his muscles. He kept at a distance until I was ready to give myself to him completely, but that didn’t change my feelings for Alpha Kane. Although I seriously doubted it, he was saving himself for his own, couples, he liked to tease .

"Four days," I thought with annoyance. The thought made blush, but I couldn’t deny my attraction to Alpha Kane. Though I knew little about his family and personal life, I was certain he would never harm . He gave a sense of safety and comfort.

"I rember very well." I cleared my throat, frowning as he traced a finger over the flush on my face.

Just as his smooth lips parted to answer, there was a knock on the door. I saw a flicker of irritation in his eyes, and then, finally, a reluctant acceptance as the knock returned with renewed vigor.

Alpha Kane placed on the floor, his dark eyes seeming to say we’d finish this later. Even though he refused to give in completely, my body ached with anticipation.

I went to the closet, grabbed so hastily thrown-on clothes, and trudged into the bathroom to change. From inside the bathroom, I could hear Alpha Kane opening the door.
