A Gold Alpha For A Silver Alpha
Moon-Colored Eyes Chapter 16

And this is when I ask you, what would you have done?

Would you have walked away and feigned innocence?

Or would you be like me, who as soon as my partner's lips touched mine I snatched control from my she-wolf back and enjoyed our first kiss. Because as much as I loved Casiana, that kiss was mine and no one else's.

My eyes closed and I enjoyed the, at first, gentle touch, but come on. We're two newly mated wolves, you didn't expect much self-control did you?

Almost immediately the situation turned around, literally, Rafael, showing great strength and speed spun us around so that now I was the one trapped under his body. All this without our mouths taking off, little by little the kiss increased in intensity to the point where my legs were already tangled around his hips while my hands messed up his hair while his hands ran along my waist and torso.

My breath was short as it was all being stolen by this wolf with forest colored eyes and mesmerizing scent of chocolate and wine. My skin burned longing for his touch, the air grew heavier and heavier, little moans and whimpers escaped my throat as his lips stopped claiming mine and began to leave a trail of kisses down my throat.

Pheromones were leeching from every pore of my body and it was an instinctive thing to crane my neck to give my mate better access, the collarbone area throbbing from the desire to feel his fangs sinking there to mark me.

-I could kiss you for hours and never get tired of your taste." His nose snuck in where his lips used to be and he inhaled deeply, "Your scent drives me crazy, it's like a drug, so sweet, you are so sweet my beautiful companion. -Rafael. I murmured and pulled his hair to kiss him again.

Luckily my partner didn't make me beg and let me enjoy his lips again.

I had kissed a couple of wolves before, you know, because I was a hormonal teenager who was surrounded by testosterone, but nothing compared to the feeling of my partner's warm mouth on mine while he himself nibbled my lips as if they were candy and he was a hungry child.

The famous couple's bond pulled stronger and stronger, as something inside me pulled hard to have the male closer, the need to completely melt into him, to stop being two and become one. Patience, control, and discretion took a back seat in my mind, more so when my hands let go of the wolf's hair and mischievously slipped under his shirt to caress the muscles of his back.

Rafael growled loudly and pulled away from me just enough to let me see his fangs lengthen as his eyes shifted to those of his wolf.

-Don't play with me Juliet, if we keep going like this I won't be able to stop and I don't want your parents to hate me any more than they already do. He said as his fangs scraped the skin on my neck.

He placed a kiss on the area where he should leave his mark before pulling away and half sitting on the floor while I recovered from the hottest round of kisses I'd ever had in my life.

I covered my eyes with my forearm and my father's warning to sleep in separate rooms made more sense in my head, I counted to ten mentally knowing that it wasn't the best of ideas to let myself be marked by my partner while the future of his friends remained uncertain.

All the more so because I was subject to my parents' judgment.

My territorial and not at all pious parents who want to rip their heads off.

-Are you all right? The question sounded full of concern and I smiled like a fool as I nodded.

Oh sure I'm fine, I'm just trying to convince myself that it's not a good idea to let Casiana jump on you again and take your clothes off to see if the rest of your body tastes as good as your lips.

A hoarse laugh from my mate causes me to remove my arm and look at him questioningly.

I too would like to see if all of your skin tastes as marshmallowy, but I think we're going to have to wait a while before we can check.

Rafael's voice rang in my head and I groaned mentally mortified.

I can't believe I forgot that I now also shared a mental bond with him, it wasn't strong enough to make us aware of each other's feelings or the physical state we were in.

But it was obviously strong enough for my thoughts to be shared with him if I wasn't careful not to send them to him.

-I might be embarrassed that you heard me say that, but I don't have the emotional stability to worry about that right now- I looked at him in a bad way- Besides it's your fault, I just wanted to give you an innocent little kiss, I don't know when things got out of hand-.

My mate smiled in a way that reminded me too much of my brothers.

Full of masculine pride.

-You can blame me all you want beautiful, but I had the best intentions with my behavior until I was sinfully assaulted- He stood up and offered me a hand to help me which I gladly accepted, my legs shaking- I'm not complaining though, you can jump on me like that whenever you want-. He said and moved closer to me to leave another small kiss on my lips.

I pouted, it had been too short.

-It was all Casiana's fault, she's been screaming at me to kiss you since we saw you in the forest and she took advantage of the fact that I was distracted by your words to carry out her evil plan. I defended myself a little. Although inside I had been dying to kiss him too.

-I nodded -Romeo talked to her a couple of times and she says she's very intense even though she loves it. Besides I understand the instinct, I told you my wolf is very heavy and if it wasn't for the years of control I have we would still be on the floor doing other things.

He smiled again in a way that made my cheeks flush, sometimes I hated the pale skin I had inherited from mom for the simple fact that I couldn't hide anything.

I sighed as I shook my head to get out the mental images of how things would have continued if Raphael hadn't walked away when he did.

-Rafael made an affirmative sound, I glanced at the clock and raised my eyebrows when I saw how late it was, "I think I'd better go, I don't want my parents or siblings to check if I'm in my room and not replace me.

My mate raised his eyebrows impressed.

-Are they really going to see you in your room? He asked incredulously and I shrugged my shoulders.

-Yeah well, I have a history of not following the rules and getting in trouble. I don't know if they are going to do it but they are very capable, I am the second of their children to replace their destined mate, but I am also the only woman, so I have no idea how they are going to react to our relationship.

-I don't want to cause you more problems with your parents, after all they are the Alphas- An amused look- And I'm not just saying that because my life and Max and Diana's are literally in their hands, if you told me you want to run away from home right now I would gladly replace a way to help my friends when we are already far away. But I think you are close enough to them to worry about these things.

Tears stung my eyes and I had to blink them away.

Would someone tell me how it was possible that in twenty-four hours this handsome male knew me better than most of the members of my pack?

Damn I had gotten a perfect mate.

I sighed as I moved in for a hug.

-It's not fair," I complained as I squeezed him like he was my favorite childhood stuffed animal, "If you keep being this wonderful I'm going to start doubting you're real, don't you have any flaws? Rafael's chest vibrated from his laughter.

-I'm just good at reading people, you know, survival instinct- He left a kiss on the top of my head that made me sigh- Flaws, I have hundreds of them, precious, I just hope that when you discover them you'll have the same patience with me as you do right now-. I snorted not being able to believe his words.

-What kind of flaws do you say you have, being too handsome doesn't count as a flaw. I scoff and again he bursts out laughing.

The sound of his laughter is becoming one of my favorite sounds in the world.

-No, it doesn't seem like it right now because I'm with you and you have a calming effect on me that is unbelievable. But I'm very moody actually, I hate following orders and I'm always fighting over every little thing, I have almost non-existent patience, I don't like to socialize and I avoid talking to other people- One of his hands lifts my face taking me by the chin and makes our gazes collide- And since I discovered that I'm paired with a beautiful wolf with moon colored eyes I realized that I'm incredibly jealous and possessive to the extent that I don't even like her brothers to be very close to her- His gaze darkened- And the list goes on and on, so as you can see, I'm full of flaws-.

A slow smile crept across my face and I shook my head before standing on my tiptoes and placing a kiss on her jaw.

-You know, I had planned to sneak out in the middle of the night to sleep cuddling, but since my mate is so gentlemanly and cute I don't think it's right to corrupt him with my indecent ways- Now an annoyed growl as I pull away from his body- So good luck sleeping alone today mate, have sweet dreams and I'll see you tomorrow-. I wink at him as I walk to the door.

I hear him mumble to himself as I unlock the door and open it, I walk through and halfway through I turn to see him with an innocent smile.

-My tone was at odds with my relaxed expression and I wanted to laugh when I saw Rafael's frustrated expression as I playfully bit my lower lip while appreciating his musculature, I gave him one last look at his face before saying goodbye completely. I ruled and finished leaving, closing the door quickly.

I walked briskly down the hallway to get to my room, but halfway there I heard my partner's voice in my head as clearly as if he had been next to me.

You and your damn big mouth Rafael, I had to play the hero, now spend the night alone with the pillow you idiot.

The thought that, unconsciously my mate sent me made me stumble from laughter when I could not contain the laughter that echoed through every corner of the mansion.

As fate would have it, that happened as I was passing in front of Jackson's door, which was soon flung open, surprising me a little, but not enough to stop me from laughing. My older brother leaned against the frame as he raised a questioning eyebrow.

-Would you be so kind as to share what put you in such a good mood, sis? He said curiously but with suspicion shining in his amber eyes.

It was obvious he had been waiting for me to return to my bedroom.

Jealous and protective brothers.

I kept walking until I reached my door and opened it, turned to see my brother over my shoulder and enjoyed the moment batting my eyelashes and smiling with mock pity.

-I'm sorry brother, it's a couple thing, maybe when you grow up you'll understand.

I said it loud enough for Jace's laughter to sneak under his door, Jackson gave me a dirty look but I closed the door before he could say anything to me.

Ah, what a good day I was having.

And the night is going to be even better.

I thought as I headed to my closet and picked out a specific pajama set I'd never worn before, then walked to my bathroom so I could spend some time in the tub to make Raphael think I was really going to obey my father.

But hey, I had already warned him that I didn't usually follow the rules.

If he didn't believe me then he was in for a good surprise in a couple of hours.

Maybe I should be a little embarrassed or nervous, but the way my mate reacted to our kisses and our closeness made my confidence go up a thousand percent.

So I kept smiling as I put my favorite marshmallow scent in the water and thought of ways to corrupt my handsome mate.

Oh yes, oh yes.

The night was created to carry out the secrets you must hide in the daylight.

And I planned for the night to last forever.
