Luna - The Predator of Revenge
Chapter 54

Surprise

I gasped at that. I mean, what are the chances of me meeting someone who happens to be just like me. While I processed his words in a moment of silence, Raden took my silence in the wrong way.

“Sweetheart, please don’t hate me. If not for his help, I wouldn’t be what I am today. I don’t even know if I would have been alive. So please, accept the fact that I am half vampire.”, he said. I tried opening my mouth to tell him that even I was a half vampire, but he gestured me to stop.

If he wishes so, I thought shrugging.

“I might have vampire blood flowing in me, but that doesn’t take my right as a werewolf. I need you, please. I love you, please.”, he pleaded.

I ignored the three words that sent a wave of pleasure through my body, instead focused on taunting him.

“See who is impatient now. Are you done now?”, I asked him.

He nodded, waiting for my response.

“Well, first off, I am not going to leave you, vampire or not. Second off, you needn’t about it as I am also a half vampire similar -”, before I could finish he cut me off.

“What?”, he shouted standing up, pushing down his chair in the process.

Next moment, the door to the room was pushed open to reveal an anxious Levi.

He studied the situation while waiting patiently.

“Levi, could you please give us some time alone? There is no problem, if you are worried about one.”, I said.

He didn’t seem convinced a bit. If anything, he looked much more wary looking at his alpha.

“Please?”, I tried again.

This time, Raden nodded his head, giving his approval. Having gotten his instruction, he left while closing the door on his way out.

When I turned around, Raden had an expectant look on his face.

“Well, you might want to take a seat.”, I said looking at the fallen chair.

He didn’t bother lifting the chair. Instead, he came around and took the seat next to me.

His closeness clouded my mind and senses. I closed my eyes taking in his scent.

When I opened my eyes, he was smirking at me definitely loving his effect on me. How I wish I had the same effect on him.

I controlled my mind from going wild before I started telling him everything from the start. I told him about my first mate, war, the secrets I had disclosed, about my grandpa, mom, everything.

He listened to it patiently, without interrupting me, whatsoever. When I finally finished telling my tale, I sighed out of breath. He sighed along but it was more of a sigh of relief.

“That’s one hell of an experience you have gone through, sweetheart. And I don’t feel an ounce of guilt in me when I say, I am thankful that he rejected you. I mean, if not for him I wouldn’t have been able to get you. And as for him confessing to you, you are off market as of now. You are mine, and only mine.”, he said pulling me to him.

If I said that I loved the electric sparks that came from the touch, I had no words to describe the feeling when he brought his lips to mine.

Out of breath we pulled out of the kiss, looking into each other’s eyes. His eyes were filled with lust and love. I knew my eyes held a similar look like that of his.

I smiled at him enjoying the feeling of being loved.

Our moment was disrupted when a knock came from the other side.

He let go of me before straightening himself.

“Come in.”, he called out.

Levi came inside and bowed his head before looking up.

“Alpha, there is a man at the border asking for Caroline Dunbar.”, he informed.

Before Raden could tell anything, I cut him off.

“What is his name?”, I asked.

He hesitated before answering, “Gabriel”. I looked into my watch to see that it was past ten in the night.

“Okay, thank you.”, I said before turning to Raden, “That’s my cue to leave. I should go before my family sends a search party.”, I said standing up.

“I am coming along.”, he said catching my wrist.

This seemed to shock both me and Levi.

“And Levi, she is your Luna. Do not call her by her name ever again.”, he threatened.

He nodded and waited for the next instruction he knew was coming.

“Go and tell him that we are coming.”, he said.

With that he left, closing the door as usual.

“Raden, you needn’t come out. I was just joking about it.”, I said turning to him.

He growled at that.

“Tell that again.”, he ordered.

“You ne - ”

“Not that, my name.”, he said growling again.

“Raden”, I said again.

He growled before nuzzling his face into my hair.

“I would do anything to hear that, sweetheart.”

Finally deciding that he would be accompanying me, we left to the border from where I came.

Gabriel stood there along with Levi. I should introduce myself properly with him, next time. Gabriel looked questioningly at our entwined hands but he kept silent nevertheless.

“Can we leave?”, he asked.

“Yes, but he is also coming along.”, I said.

“Will your grandpa approve of his presence?”, he asked with his eyebrows raised.

“Definitely.”, I said with confidence.

“Then I don’t have a problem with it.”, he said instantly smiling. “Also I am happy for you, she is a great person, just like her mother.”, he said looking at Raden.

“I know.”, he said smiling down at me.

I smiled back at him, before going to the car.

In a matter of time, we reached the pack.

As expected, the guards did not question the additional presence.

The driver dropped us off in front of our house, before leaving.

When we entered the house, Gabriel went to inform grandpa about my arrival.

Once he did, he led us to his office.

I settled down in front of his table along with Raden, who sat next to me. Grandpa looked up from his work noting our presence and gave Raden a pointed look before looking at me questioningly.

“Grandpa, this is Raden, alpha of Parish pack, my mate. Raden, this is my grandpa, Matthew Sharp, alpha of Harath pack.”

Grandpa took a moment to analyze him, while he sat there with nervous smile on his face.

My grandpa can be really be intimidating. This scene seemed to be a repeat of the other day when he threatened dad and uncle.

“So, you are the mysterious alpha, is it?”, grandpa questioned him, wontedly missing on the fact that he was my mate.

“Yes, sir. I am Caroline’s mate, too.”, he answered him.

“I like you.”, grandpa announced suddenly, surprising both me and Raden.

“Grandpa?”

“What? Do you think I am a bad guy? I know when a person is good.”, he stated casually.

“Thank you, sir. That means a lot for me.”, Raden said genuinely.

The moment he was about to relax, grandpa made him sit straight by speaking.

“But remember one thing, never try hurting my granddaughter. She is precious to me. If you do hurt her, then forget waking up next day.”, he said equally genuine.

“I wouldn’t imagine sir.”, he said before adding under his breath, “Neither of them.”

Grandpa seemed to have heard too, because he smiled at that.

“Caroline, you have someone waiting for you in the terrace.”, he said before I left his office.

I asked Raden if he wanted to wait in the living room or accompany me. He decided to come with me. When I reached the terrace I was surprised to see him.

“Hi my dear mate. Long time no see.”
