“I told you I would bring you back food,” he says, rustling the bag at me.
“How do you expect to be my Luna when you can’t follow simple conditions?”
“But you never said I couldn’t look around,”
“Well, now you know. Don’t forget your place, Abbie! You are my Luna. I am your Alpha. What I say goes. What would happen if I presented a disobedient Luna to my pack? I would be the laughing stock. You need to think hard about your actions,” he scolds.
*Now, put these away before I change my mind. I will think of something suitable for punishment for your actions,” he says, walking off to sit on the couch. I stare after him before looking at the bag of groceries.
*That should last you a couple of days,” he says, and I nod. Pulling the stuff out. I found a fresh loaf of bread, coffee, and three liters of milk. Packing half the bag away. I turned to glance at Kade, who was texting on his phone.
“Did you get sugar for the coffee?” I asked, chewing my lip. I knew that brand of coffee. It was nasty and cheap. Extremely bitter tasting, Mrs. Daley called it visitors coffee when she bought it, and it was the only coffee we were allowed.
“I will drop you some sugar cubes tomorrow. Try not to use too many. You always chatter too much when hyped on sugar,” he says, not even bothering to look up from his phone.
I swallow a strange hollow feeling that sinks into my stomach. Shaking the feeling off, I retrieve the rest of the groceries, finding some dried meats and a bag of carrots. Not wanting to sound ungrateful, I put it away quickly. With the limited supplies, I didn’t want him taking any away.
“Come here, my love,” he says, waving me forward. I hesitantly move toward him. I stop just out of reach, and he looks up at me. When he reaches for me, I step back, wondering why he was being like this. Didn’t he miss me as I did him? My bond cried out for him, but all he had done was scold me since being here. Is the bond not the same for men?
“Why are you being like this? Have I hurt you?”
“No! I haven’t, have 1?” He answers his own question. “I would never hurt you, Abbie! So why are you so fearful?” he snaps.
“I was going to punish you, but I changed my mind. I would rather give you something else. Something I know you will love,” he says, motioning me toward him. I shuffle my feet, but he grows impatient, reaching over and pulling me down between his legs.
He sweeps my hair over one shoulder, and I peer up at him over my shoulder.
“Let me make you my official Luna,” he purrs at me. My bond flares excitedly. He was officially claiming me. That meant he wanted me, that he loved me. I nod, and he kisses my cheek before gripping my chin and tilting my head back further and kissing me deeply. His tongue tastes every part of my mouth before he pulls away, leaving me breathless.
He brushes my cheek gently with the back of his hand, then turns my face away before sinking his teeth into my neck. Pain slices through me, but only briefly when I feel the bond come alive with full force. Sparks rush over my entire body as I feel the bond snap into place. Kade pulls me onto his lap, cradling me against his chest. He kisses my nose and I feel my canines slip out. My soul is screaming out for his, and lean forward, eager to mark him in return.
Yet, at the last second, he pulls away from me. “I said I was being lenient, Abbie. I didn’t say you could mark me! Not after you disobeyed me earlier!” he snaps at me. It was as if he punched me in the stomach.
“But…” he places a finger to my lips.
“When you prove you can be trusted and do as you’re told, I will allow it. Maybe once you go into heat,” he tells me. My face heats at his rejection, and I turn in his lap, tears pricking my eyes, and I hold them back.
“Now, now, don’t be upset. I can still mind link you, so at least I can keep you company when I am not here. You just can’t talk to me back. But you can hear me,” he tells me.
“Now get some rest. I will be back tomorrow,” he tells me, getting up while I touch my fingers to my neck. Pulling my hand back, my fingertips are covered in blood. I stare at the door after he leaves, trying to figure out what it means.
The following day, all I could think about was what he said last night about going into heat. I didn’t want to go into heat; I didn’t want to do what was expected. Yet I wanted to mark my mate so that way the bond would form, and maybe he would let me come live with him in the Packhouse.
