Going over all the paperwork that is on my desk, my mind is distracted by the beautiful woman that I had laid eyes on today. I had just been walking down the hall, going from one meeting to another when I heard a she-wolf berating another woman just because she couldn’t shift. That pissed me off a bit because I understood what it was like to be a late bloomer and for someone to talk so cruelly to another person just because of that, I knew I had to step in.
But when I looked at her, Eloise, I believe her name is, I was beyond mystified and my Wolf just wanted me to drop to my knees and worship her. To see that she-wolf trying to flirt with me in front of Eloise made me a bit disgusted and I kept asking myself why she had to keep testing me when she had already figured out what I wasn’t interested in. The woman I did want to be interested in me barely even glanced at me and when she did, she didn’t seem interested at all.
I kind of thought that she would be considering the entire situation, but she kept looking at me like I was nothing less of anuisance. I didn’t want to be, but she let her eyes flick over me before turning away. I have NEVER had a woman react to me like that before and I’m not so sure that I liked it. I hated not being at the center of a woman’s attention, mainly this woman’s attention. It is strange that she would just ignore me like that, like I didn’t even matter to her.
Her long, curly brown hair went straight down to her waist, a beautiful mess that I wanted to dive my hands into. Her eyes were the color of sapphires, so big and beautiful that it could just suck you in and never make you want to leave. She’s way shorter than me, at least by a foot, with caramel-like skin and a curvy body that just went on for days. She was small and breakable, very easily so, but all I wanted to do was pull her into my arms and ravage her. I would make her take my cock into her tiny body and have her moaning. I would have her begging me to knot her and fill her up with my seed. I want that. I want to see my seed dripping out of her clearly fucked hole before going at it again, making her enjoy every second of it.
I have never had such possessive feelings before and I’m not sure that I like it at all. It makes me a bit nervous to think that I could want to do something like that to someone so fragile but in my eyes, I do think she could handle it. She might not have shifted yet, but she is strong. The people whom I have spoken to about her have told me that she is just as quick and agile in human form than others are in their wolf form. It was a bit surprising to hear but I couldn’t help but be proud of her.
She would make a great Luna if she accepted me.
“Raven, you wanted to speak to me about something?” Charlie, my Beta, asks me as he steps into my office, “Is everything okay? You don’t normally call me in so late.”
“I’m thinking about a woman I want to pick to be my Luna.” I explain to him, making his eyes pop wide open, “I’m thirty-five years old and I’m not getting any younger. No one has reallyattracted my attention before but now I think I know who I want it to be. It might be a strange choice, but she is the one that I want.”
Charlie frowns, folding his arms across his chest, “you aren’t talking about that dormant girl, are you?”
I raise an eyebrow at him, wondering why he talks about her like that, “I am. So?”
Charlie doesn’t look too happy with me as he shakes his head, “I understand that you might feel a little sorry for the girl because she has the same backstory as you, but she is weak. She is never going to survive in the pack as the Luna. No one is going to respect her, and they are going to treat her poorly because she isn’t like the rest of them. She can’t protect herself and you’re ALWAYS going to be worrying about her getting hurt. You can get mad at me all you want but you know that I am telling the truth.”
I want to get mad at him but it’s not things I have thought of already. I don’t know why I am so fixated on her, but I just don’t want to let her go. I want her to be a part of my life and I don’t want to push her away. If I push her away then she is just going to up and choose someone else, and the idea of her being in the arms of a man who isn’t me pisses me off beyond belief. It makes me want to rip the head off of ANYONE who would dare to touch her.
“I’m going to make my decision based off of feelings, not because of what the pack wants me to do.” I grumble, turning my attention back to what I’m reading, “If they are going to try to push me to find a Luna, then I’m going to pick who I want. That’s final.”
Charlie gives me a pitiful look before he turns on his heel and walks out of my office, closing the door behind himself. I understand his reasoning and I understand why he is worried about Eloise becoming Luna. Something is telling me that she isjust the right fit for this position and if I let her go, I’m going to be making the biggest mistake of my entire life.
And that’s not a mistake I want to make.
Chapter Three
Eloise
Something is wrong.
I feel hot and then I feel cold. Nothing helps when I lay in bed, and don’t know what to do about it. I don’t want to bother Mom and Dad, knowing they are sound asleep from having to do all the work that they have been doing. I thought that everything would be okay as time passed but it quickly became clear that it wasn’t the case. Something is seriously wrong, and I don’t know what to do about it.
Groaning softly, I throw my head back as I try to process through my mind everything that is happening right now. I can’t believe that I’m dealing with this stuff when I could be just sleeping and having wonderful dreams about Raven. I don’t know why he has been stuck in my mind but the pain radiating through my body won’t even let me think about him. It’s annoying and I want it to end. I want to think about him as much as I want to and not let other things distract me.
Fuck this and fuck them. That’s where I am at.
Just as I thought about rolling over and trying to sleep, I heard a soft click on the window. Frowning, I roll over, barely able to do so. My eyes widen in shock when I see Raven standing outside my window, motioning me to open it. Thankfully it is a big window that opens all the way because I have no idea how he would be able to fit through it. I open it, and his nose wrinkles slightly as he peers down at me.
“Can I help you, Pack Leader?” I ask him softly, wondering why he could be here.
He tilts his head to the side, frowning, “You’re shifting.”
I freeze, wondering what in the world he could actually mean by that, “you’re shifting right now. I can smell your wolf trying to break through… You have really intense pheromones; I can tell you that.”
I’m shocked because there is no way in actual hell that I’m shifting right now, “how am I shifting? I’m twenty-one. Shouldn’t it be too late to shift?”
I’m rambling and worried, trying to process this all in my head before I go crazy. Raven shocks me because he reaches through and gently grabs my waist, hoisting me up and out of the window, cradling me in his arms. I have never had someone carry me bridal style, so this is a first. My heart is racing, and I really hope he can’t hear it because it would be really embarrassing. I am finally ignoring the pain in my body as I just keep my eyes locked on his face, wondering how in the world I got so lucky.
“Shifting with someone who also shifted at a later time will help you.” He explains to me, a deep rumbling of his chest that makes me tremble, “This isn’t going to be easy, and it is going to hurt. You’re probably going to wish that you were dead, but you can’t die. Okay? I won’t let you.”
“I don’t plan on dying.” I chuckle, smiling up at him because he does seem really concerned right now, “Why do you worryabout me dying, Pack Leader? We’re not in a relationship and we just officially met earlier today. I…”
“I think I’m the reason why you’re shifting.” He explains to me, making me come to a sudden stop when talking because I don’t understand, “I think that you are my fated mate. It would make the most sense…”
