His Luna’s Already A Luna
Chapter 20

Lucinda POV

She was sitting in Alpha Corey's office, in the chair, in front of his desk. Her so called Mate, was standing leaning on the wall off to his right, a smile on his stupidly handsome face. She had walked into the room, her eyes had landed right on him. She should have known, he was going to be in here. She refused to react to him, other than frown.

He was good looking that was for certain, but this man knew it. Thought he could sway her with those deep blue eyes and impossibly long lashes, not many men had lashes like that, she had to admit, but that smug smile on his face, a complete turn off. She knew why she was here, she wondered if he was aware, that Lindy had already told her about the alliance. He thought, he was going to get his way, get everything he wanted.

Well she didn't, the man, had not even so much as introduced himself to her, probably thought he didn't have to, that she would fall at his feet and beg to be his Luna. She could only imagine, it happened all the time. He was to sure of his good looks, for her not to know, he was a man who went around and bedded anything that he pleased.

Well today, he was going to get the shock of his life! her hair braided and pulled over her left shoulder, covering her old mark she doubted he knew anything about that. Today knowing she was coming here, that he was probably going to be here, she had dressed appropriately, a soft off the shoulder long sleeved pale pink cashmere top, that fit like a glove and stopped just above her belly button, matched with a pair of white shorts, that sat neatly across her hips, leaving her abdomen bare, they also only went 2 inches past her bottom, leaving her legs bare, and she was wearing flat white sandles, that had white leather laces, that crisscrossed all the way up to the knee. She was looking freaking hot. Gabby had killed herself laughing at her attire when she put it on, "cruel Luci." she'd smiled "I love the attitude." and she'd walked her all the way to the pack-house, then headed up stairs.

When this man went to play that card, he had up his sleeve, what ever it was, and she knew it was coming, she was going to to shock the hell out of him. Good and proper, he might not like it at all. She wondered if he thought she was one of those girls, who waited for their mate, if she was all innocent and eager for her mate to show her pleasure for the first time.

Lucinda noted his Beta standing next to him, the man was looking right at her a full blown smile on his face, his eyes lit up with amusement, she smiled right back at him playfully, she re-called that bite. Ignored her mate. His Beta chuckled at her, she could tell he was all trouble, just like Alpha Corey. Saw the look his Alpha shot him, which only made him laugh out loud. She watched their interaction and took it upon herself to inflame it, winked playfully at his Beta "How's the ribs?" she asked and chuckled to herself, before moving off to sit in front of Alpha Corey.

She smile sweetly at him "You wanted to punish me! Alpha." she too could play. Had learned from the best, over the last few years, and he was sitting right in front of her.

Lucinda watched as Alpha Corey stifled a laugh himself, Luna Lindy hadn't gone home till the sun came up. they had been well and truly drunk, for most of the night. She could only imagine he was in a good mood, after she'd gone home for her punishment. He also knew, his mate had gone to Lucinda's, to soften the blow, that was about to come her way.

"Lucinda sweetheart. I have arranged a mating alliance for you. With your mate."

"Hmm, Mate?" she leaned back casually in her chair "I don't believe, anyone has introduced themselves, or tried to claim me Alpha. What are you talking about exactly?"

She heard a low growl come from her Mate, chose to ignore it. She was out to annoy him, if he thought a mating alliance, was all it would take, he was dead wrong. "Now Lucinda, I do know you scented out your mate, right here in this office, right in front of me."

"Hmm." she tapped a finger on her soft pick lips and turned her eyes to the ceiling thoughtfully, then back to her, Alpha "Perhaps that happened...but I don't even know the mans name, how do I know Alpha Corey that, that mating alliance is for that man, which I scented that day? You do like to play tricks."

She looked right at Alpha Corey and winked right at him, Ky'ra was chortling and rolling around in her mind, fully amused at the annoyance, they could feel coming off of, their so called Mate. She was much more amused, than cranky these days, clearly enjoyed taunting this man. As much as Lucinda did, she could get used to a playful and loving Ky'ra, instead of miss grumpy pants.

'you might just have to. she chortled

'then I will! Lucinda giggled at her. 'teasing our mate is fun.

"Now Alpha Corey. As a punishment, I think this is too harsh, I'd rather spend a month in the cells. Is that a better option for you?"

Another growl came from him, though this one a little on the angry side, it seemed.

"Lucinda I have never put you in the cells, now have I?"

"No." she shook her head "But mating me off, as a punishment for one, minor indiscretion, I believe is to harsh." trying not to laugh was getting very hard. She bit her lips together, but couldn't keep the amusement from her eyes, and he noted it. Clearing his voice and trying not to be as amused himself, by her behaviour as she was "Right, how about we start this again..." he looked to her Mate, "Alpha Nicholas, perhaps a proper introduction, would help this go smoother."

She heard him take in a deep breath and walk over to her, she turned her attention to her right hand as to inspect her manicure. Ignored him. Felt a wave of annoyance roll off of him, nearly laughed out loud. The more amused she was getting, the more annoyed he got. She heard his Beta snort a laugh out and desperately tried to reign it in, it nearly broke her own resolve. Had to bite down on her lips again and not look at the annoyed man, standing next to her. Or she knew she was going to fall off her chair and roll around laughing. Apparently still got the Alpha's Gin, in her system.

"Lucinda I believe...I am Alpha Nicholas Frost, of Blue Moon Rising Pack and yes I am your Mate."

She stared at her hand for a good 15 seconds more to calm herself then trying to avoid him. Turned her eyes on him, stood up from her chair and allowed her eyes to slide over him, nice and slow, saw the smirk on his face, Oh yes he knew he was a very impressive man to look at. She took a step around him and walked around him to inspect him fully, saw him blink, shocked at her behaviour "Hmm." she shrugged "not bad I guess." she looked to his Beta, she could hear him desperately trying to cover his laughing with his hand and winked right at him, he nearly doubled over. She then strolled back to her chair and sat back down.

"He does smell like the man, I scented Alpha Corey." she acknowledged 'but that man doesn't like me. His reaction to me was clear. I think you forcing me, to mate him is too harsh a punishment."

"Are you always this infuriating?" Alpha Nicholas snapped at her, oh she'd pushed his button good, with that one.

She moved her eyes to his blue ones "Yes." she informed him, all amusement gone now "Always...especially to those, who treat us with disrespect."

She saw him frown instantly and knew he understood, exactly what she was talking about. Just sat there and stared right at him. When he didn't offer up an apology, she sighed and shook her head, turned to Alpha Corey "I will not accept a mating alliance, to any man, that can't apologise for something he did wrong."

She stood and turned to leave the office, only to have a hand land on her arm. Halting her in her tracks "I am armed, Alpha Nicholas." her eyes moved to his hand on her arm, and then to his eyes pointedly "Always am...unless you want a hole in that hand, I would remove it."

He was frowning at her, he had no idea if she was telling the truth, or if she would follow through with her threat either, because he, knew nothing about her. She would. Loosed the blade up her sleeve and dropped it into her free hand. "I'm sorry." he said "I was annoyed at...your skills which took me by complete surprise. I do not think you are a mutt, and I assure you, that word, will never be uttered from these lips again."

Lucinda stubbornly refused to move her eyes to his lips, knew it was what he wanted, he'd chosen his words with purpose, she'd heard the slight smile in his voice at the end, he really did think his smile was that good, that she would look at it and melt, cocky bastard.

His eyes were locked on hers, they were a very deep blue indeed and currently held a smile in them, but she would wipe that smile off his face. Tapped his hand on her arm with the blade, she was now holding in her other hand, saw his smile vanish and it was gone from his eyes too. His hand let go of her, more out of shock, she believed than fear. His eyes hadn't moved from hers, but surprise at her action was in them now.

"Lucinda White, Retrieval Special Unit. Specialist in Bladed Weapons and Compound Bow use." she formally introduced herself. "Alpha Corey may I go now?" "Lucinda! we have to sort your Mate Bond out."

"Do we?" she glance at him "I thought I'd already, become his forced Mate. Isn't that my punishment."

"For Goddess sake Lucinda." Alpha Nicholas snapped at her again "What do you want from me, I have already apologised."

"Hmm, you did...because you had to, not because you wanted to...and if you wanted me as your Mate, you would have come to me yourself and spoke to me. I don't have to accept you....You are aware of that right?"

"I will not be accepting your rejection, even if you chose to voice it." he was smiling right at her now "you are my Mate. I and my wolf will be claiming you. You belong to us, the goddess gifted you to us."

Ah and there it was, his card to play. Lucinda smiled right up at him, to bloody tall, she thought for a minute. Flicked her plait over her shoulder and to her back, allowed her fingers to trail right across the scar of her previous marking, his eyes were draw to the movement as she knew they would be, no wolf can resist looking at the spot there mark would go. She registered the shock in his expression, seeing the scars of a bite already made on her.

"She gifted me to another first. He was a gentleman, sweet and kind, never said a harsh word to me. I can't say the same for you now, can I!" and with that she strolled out of the office, slipping her blade back into his sheath on the under side of her arm and headed back to her house.

Now lets see what you do.
