Alpha's Cursed Luna

ELEANOR

Alexander wipes away my tears as he gives me a confused look.

I smile at him, shaking my head as if nothing happened. I drop my eyes to my lower body beforeglancing up at his handsome face. His platinum blonde hair all messed up however it did nothing tocompromise his deathly handsome appearance.

I gulp before parting my lips, feeling his intense gaze on me, most especially my body sticking outin his room, half-naked. My cheeks flushed red, and I turn my head to the side, averting my eyesfrom his knowing I wouldn't be able to hold his stare for too long.

“C-Can I ask you something?”

“I'm all ears, princess” He says softly, staring down at me while I twirl my hair around my fingernervously.

"Did something happen between us... last night?” I ask bashfully, completely ignoring his gazepenetrating me to the core.

For a moment, he didn't say a word, and I began to wonder whether he heard me or not.

I hear him chuckle lightly before he said, “If you're worried about that, then no.”

In an instant, I let out a sigh of relief.

"Besides, I want to see you wide awake when I make love to you, Eleanor” He whispers, leaningcloser to my ear, tickling my sweet spot and I replace myself resisting a soft, pleasurable moan.

I lower my gaze once more, landing my eyes on my state of undress. Pulling my brows together, Iraise my head and stare into his cerulean blue eyes, studying the uncertain expression on my face.“Then why am I not wearing any..." I stopped, clamping the bottom fabric of this oversized button-up shirt I replace myself in.

My gaze fell to my feet. In this very moment, I could smell his fresh, woody, and minty scentlingering in the air that enveloped us.

It was then that I felt Alexander touch both sides of my arm gently, lightly, as though he washolding a rare, delicate, and valuable object which made him extremely afraid of touching me, afraidI would break at some point.

He lets out a sigh, when I felt his finger lift my chin, forcing me to look at him. The very sight of hisface, his eyes, his plump, dangerously sexy lips, knocking the air right out of me without so much ofa warning.

“Listen to me, Eleanor. I would never force nor do anything to hurt you. You were drugged lastnight, you don't remember?” He lowers his body to match my height, gripping my arms beneath hiscalloused hands ever so gently. My long, thick lashes fluttering as I examined his expression.

“I was?” My head tilted and he mirrored the gesture instantly.

He nods, slowly releasing my arms as he straightened. Once again, he stands like a mighty statuetowering over me. I knitted my brows, watching him as he hung his head and arms in visible guiltand shame.

"And I let it happen, right under my nose. I promised you would always be safe under me, and nowthis...” He averts his gaze. Ripping his eyes off mine. Coiling his hands into two massive balls thatresembled big, heavy boulders which are perfectly capable of crushing you in a single blow.

“You were burning hot, and I had my omegas strip you off your clothes and place you in thebathtub. At first everything was going well, but then the drug you had taken in your system wasstronger than anticipated, and you went wild. They couldn't get ahold of you before I came in,” Heexplained. I listen attentively, taking mental notes in my mind as I try to process this informationbeing shoveled right through me.

"H-How did it happen?”

"We're not sure. But I need to ask you one question, Eleanor.” He takes one small step towards mebefore taking both my hands under his.

I nod and he pauses for a brief moment before steadying his body before me. A lump formed in mythroat as the dread of waiting for his next words consumed me.

"At the party, you only drunk the glass I handed to you, right?” He inquired, looking at me with araging fire evident in his cerulean blue eyes. His jaw clenching as his tongue darted in between hisplump lips.

I stared through the empty space, squinting as I tried my hardest to recall the events before myvision darkened completely, blocking me access from any memory left of the previous night.

“I think so,” I nod slowly, turning my face towards him before parting my lips once again.

"Why?" I ask. I take a step forward, raising my hands into the air while aiming for his cheek whichclenched visibly as I tried to near him. To my disappointment, he shrugs and tumbles backward. Mybrows furrowing at his urgent reaction when I only wanted to touch him.

“It was my fault. You were almost...” He shook his head, dropping his eyes to the tiled floor as hisshoulders slumped along with his hands, clenching.

"I took that fucking drink without knowing somebody fucking drugged it. Somebody fuckingdrugged it and I should've noticed. I should've known—"

Standing on my tip-toes, I slap my palms on either side of his face in a bid to stop him from spittingout the rest of that sentence.

“It wasn't your fault, Alex. I'm here, aren't 1?" My grip on his face softened as I gently turned his headto me. Forcing his piercing blue eyes to lock with mine. The intensity of mixed emotions includinghis guilt and shame burned through me I felt like I was drowning myself in fiery flames of red-hotfire.

Reluctance flashed in his eyes as he attempted to tear his gaze from me like he did the last, but Ididn't let him. Jumping slightly at my feet, I cupped his cheeks firmly before resting my foreheadagainst his temple, allowing our skin to touch as each of us exhaled our breaths. This positionenabled me to hear his rough breathing as well as the wild pulsing of his heart against his rock-hardchest.

“I'm here..." I whisper, closing my eyes while he did exactly the same. I feel his hands reach for mywaist, pulling me against his crotch before I hear him groan.

“I'm so sorry, EL." His gruff voice filled my ears like the sound of a sweet, sexy music playing insidemy mind.

I open my eyes at the same time Alexander pierced me with his gleaming blue orbs. I blinked,unable to discard from my mind the visible passion burning in those orbs as he gazed into meintensely.

His gaze lingered down my face, stopping just in between my parted lips.

At that exact moment, I felt my fingers twitch. Staring at his lips the same way he did mine, I movedan inch closer, not even realizing I was giving him an indirect invitation for a hot, steamy kiss I knewextremely well I desperately needed.

“Eleanor...” With that, he gripped my waist and yanked me harder against his hard wall of muscle.His lips colliding deep and hard against mine as I parted my lips slightly. My palms moving awayfrom the sides of his face and spreading across his muscular chest as though searching forsomething below.

He licked the small opening between my lips, forcing a startled gasp to escape me. I was about toshut my mouth when I felt his tongue slip through the opening, invading my mouth, fighting fordominance.

No. If I was being completely honest, he didn't really have to fight for anything at all. His tongueswirled inside my mouth expertly, dominating me in more ways than one and my body, oh my bodywas loving the feel of him inside me, his tongue, in this hot, wet kiss I replace myself highly engulfed in.He guided me through the kiss until I replace myself suddenly in a daze. My head spinning like arollercoaster and fireworks exploding through my stomach. I felt like I was crazy for wanting more ofit, but I didn’t want him to stop.

Sliding my palms down his chiseled abs, Alex groaned as my hand accidentally touched the hardbulge in between his legs. I forced my hands to stop, not daring to let it get any further than itshould.

"Why did you stop?”
