me squint. His bedroom is a bit of a mess with the evidence of our nightly activities. Which are apparent with my body prints on the windows, the scrunched-up rug, and the coffee table shoved out of place.
I sit up, rubbing the sleep from my eyes and wincing at the bit of soreness present between my legs. “You’re already dressed,” I whine slightly, seeing his loose tunic rolled up against his strong forearms and a pair of pants hanging on his hips.
Tyran’s smirk widens into a full-blown grin. “Are you pouting because you wanted me to fuck you? Again? You’re getting a little greedy now, don’t you think?”
“No,” I rush to say, though I feel my cheeks going pink.
He chuckles with a shake of his head. “Don’t worry, Mate. I’ll see to your needs later, but I figured you’d like to come have something to eat. You’ve been sleeping for a good fifteen hours.”
“I have?” I ask in surprise. “Damn. I must’ve needed it.”
“I wore you out,” he replies cockily before he drags a tray from the nightstand to set it next to me on the bed.
The moment the scent of food hits my nose, I salivate and dig in. Tender, rare meat melts in my mouth, making me moan in appreciation.
“And here I was, thinking you only made that noise for me,” he quips as he watches me from the foot of the bed.
“You have lots to learn about me.”
His eyes smolder with something both hungry and affectionate, and it makes my stomach flitter. “I’m looking forward to it.”
Once I’ve eaten every bite of meat, potatoes, and fruit, I feel renewed and so much better than I have in such a long time.
“Well?” I ask with a wag of my brows. “You fed me, are you going to see to my needs now?”
He responds to my playful flirting with a crooked smile. “We could… Or I could give you a tour of the pack, show you around properly.”
Excitement fills my chest, and I’m up and out of bed in an instant, hurrying over to his dresser as his laughter follows me. “Should I be offended that you chose the tour? And with such enthusiasm?”
“Maybe,” I tease as I riffle through his drawers, suddenly very thankful that our last foray was in the shower last night. Then something dawns on me. “Oh, shit.”
He must feel the flood of unease that washes over me, because Tyran is at my side in an instant. “What? What’s wrong?”
“I claimed you,” I remind him, dropping my wide eyes to his shoulders—both of them, since I gave him twin bites just like he did to me.
“Yes, I know…” He trails off with a hint of guarded wariness, and I realize it’s because he thinks I regret it.
I immediately shake my head and explain. “That means I’m the luna.”
Relief settles through him, passing over the bond. “Yes, it does.”
“I’m going to be meeting the pack as the new luna. That’s a big fucking deal. I’ve only been a wolf for like four seconds, and now I have an alpha mate, and I’m a damn luna over an entire pack!” The anxiousness in my tone accompanies a slight nausea that rises in my stomach.
Before I can spiral, Tyran grips my arms and lowers his face to mine. “Hey, don’t do that. Don’t feel like you can’t handle this. You’re a strong ass wolf, the pack saw that last night just as clearly as I did. They’re ready to embrace you as their luna.”
Heat crawls up my neck at the thought of the fight Tyran and I had in front of everyone. I look at him skeptically. “I didn’t freak them out with my threats of pissing on their dead bodies and rolling in their blood?” I question, unconvinced about just how ready they are to embrace me as their luna. I know for sure there has to be a certain strawberry blonde who’s not so psyched about it.
Tyran chuckles and brings my face to his for a quick kiss. When he pulls away, my lips follow him of their own volition, not at all satisfied with the brief taste of him. “They were just as surprised as I was that you’ve had your wolf for such a short amount of time. It took great strength to hold back and show the restraint you did,” he tells me, and I snort, shocked by the compliment.
Leave it to Ruin Falls to think that threatening them all with death and
