Beast Alpha and His Cursed Luna Chapter 177: His declaration

VALENCIA’S POV

"So, what were you guys doing here?" Dylan asked us as he looked between Maverick and .

I looked at the alpha briefly before looking down at my feet.

"My bike is still on the cliff," I said, and Dylan said he would ask soone to return it later.

"Well, it was my idea," Maverick said, and I looked at him again in surprise.

Was he really taking the bla for ?

"Your idea?" Uncle Jonathan asked, and judging from his expression, it was clear he wasn’t pleased with what he was hearing.

"Yes. I asked her if she would like to jump into the lake with and told her it was adventurous.

If I caught her, she would have to co and live with for a week," Maverick said, twisting so of the words, but every word he said indicated his infatuation with , and I gulped.

Was he being for real?

He wasn’t talking about such things in front of an average person. It was the council head we were talking about here.

I pressed my lips into a thin line when my uncle looked at .

"I lost," I said, explaining that I had agreed to whatever bet it was and that now I was supposed to live with him.

Uncle Jonathan said nothing, but I knew he had too many things to discuss. I had many things to talk to him about, too. Starting from my family history, which, for so reason, I was sure he knew, and then the curse that the Lycans didn’t tell about because I stopped them.

We went back into Dylan’s car. No one said anything, lost in our thoughts.

Once we reached my apartnt, I stepped out of the car and was about to go towards the elevator when Maverick’s words stopped .

"Thank you for bringing out of my sorrow," he held my hand, massaging my knuckles.

Blush rose to my cheeks, and I cleared my throat to ease my awkwardness before nodding.

"When can I co to take your things?" He asked.

"Hmm?" I asked, confused.

"You lost the bet," He said, and I coughed before glaring at him.

Must he say things like that in front of everyone?

As if he knew exactly what I was thinking, he pulled closer before looking at the council head.

"I intend to court her from now on because she has caught my attention at first sight, and my wolf approves of her, too. I already know that her mate has rejected her, and the sa goes for . In the last few days, I have noticed that she cares about people from the council because she probably works for them and respects you a lot. Will you allow to have her?" Maverick said.

To say I was surprised would be an understatent.

I looked at him wide-eyed, caught completely off-guard.

’He is making it look like he is asking for permission from your parents,’ Aurora said, and I blushed at her choice of words.

"I think you are moving too forward," I said.

Maverick looked into my eyes, making shut up imdiately.

"I had moved forward a long ti ago. I am just making it official now," he said. I looked at Jonathan from the corner of my eyes before shaking my head and leaving.

I seriously can’t handle this.

My heart was beating at the pace of the bullet train, and it was obviously a bad sign when the n around were strong and had sensitive hearing. They would know what was happening, and it wouldn’t be hard to guess that, for so reason, his words excited .

As shaless as it sounded, because just today, I decided I would tell him the truth soon, his words, as he said just now, were making waver and rethink my decision.

My heart told not to do anything and just enjoy falling for him. However, I knew this wasn’t possible.

It wasn’t ethical at all.

With a deep sigh, I pressed the button to my apartnt. The doors were about to close when soone placed a foot between them, and I looked at the man who had entered.

He was dressed in black from head to toe, with his face covered with a mask, and was wearing a hat.

He strangely looked like the person who had co to our cafe and was described by that bartender, but I didn’t want to jump to conclusions and offend him.

He didn’t sll like a rogue, but then he did not sll like any wolf in the first place.

He slt neutral, but a faint scent of wood and wet soil ca from him, making clear my throat and pull out my phone so that I wouldn’t be caught looking at him.

"Here," his deep voice said, surprising when I saw him extend his hand, which held a handkerchief.

"Hmm?" I looked at him, confused.

"Your hair," he said, and I realized he was probably talking about my wet hair and the cold water dripping down my neck, making shiver.

"Thank you, but I am going to my apartnt," I said, and he nodded.

I just noticed he didn’t press any button and scowled even more.

When the elevator reached the apartnt floor, I saw her go in the opposite direction.

So he is the new tenant in our opposite apartnt. Nodding in realization, I was about to enter the code when I saw him taking off his mask and hat.

However, I couldn’t see his face because he was facing the opposite side.

Not wanting to look like a creep, I entered the apartnt, imdiately catching Alina’s attention.

"Why are you wet?" She imdiately jumped down from the couch and rushed to .

"Well, things turned that way," I smiled at her before entering my room.

Was he still here? I bit my lips nervously and walked to my window.

As if he knew I would be coming to my window to watch him, he instinctively looked up, a smile playing on his lips, making my heart skip a beat while he talked to Dylan and Jonathan about sothing.

I took a deep, shaky breath and quickly opened the curtains, feeling the heat rise to my cheeks.

What was this? Why was I acting like a teenager in love? I cleared my throat so Aurora wouldn’t catch up on my nervousness before going straight to the bathroom to take a bath.

While bathing, I couldn’t help but think about that blood puddle, unsure what it was trying to say to in this dream. I have been dreaming about it quite frequently, but this was the first ti it asked to do sothing or talked so much to .

It was as if it was trying to convey a ssage or threat to . I don’t know what it was.

As I wrapped the towel around myself, I realized I had forgotten to bring my undergarnts to the bathroom, and a groan left my mouth. There was no bathrobe, either.

No wonder Aurora keeps saying I don’t care about such basic things and don’t like other girls.

Wait. I closed the door before coming inside, right?

Yes. I did. Besides, they would know I went to take a bath and won’t enter my room.

Without thinking twice, I exited the bathroom and went straight to my closet to get a pair of undergarnts. I pulled out my clothes and threw them on the bed.

I was about to take off my towel when I froze in my place.

I wasn’t alone in the room. Soone was watching , and judging from the familiar scent, I didn’t need to know who it was.

I turned around swiftly and looked at him with narrow brows.

"What are you doing here?" I asked, and the man smirked at as if it weren’t a big deal.

"What do you think I am doing? I am watching my future wife," he said, rising from his seat and walking to the door.

He locked the door and stepped close to , making my fists tighten around the towel.

"Maverick, this is -" I couldn’t complete my words when he used his alpha speed and pushed onto the bed, hovering over and capturing my lips into a heated kiss.

"I like you, Mitsuki. I am falling hard for you. Reaper wants to et you. He wants to take you ho with us already. What have you done to us? I had never thought I would climb soone’s balcony like this, but here I am," He groaned in my neck, and my heart skipped a beat.

He was an alpha. What did he an by climbing my balcony? The people outside will feel his presence nonetheless.

I wanted to cry in helplessness when he brought his hands on my thighs, rubbing the inside of my legs making shiver in return.

"Maverick," I gasped when he removed his lips from mine and went to kiss my neck instead.

Fuck, I just took a bath; feeling wet was the last thing I wanted to happen, but if he continued this, I would surely end up doing much more than that.
