Claimed by the Alpha Luna’s Awakening (Carmine and Theo)

Chapter 3

It was impossible for Theo to control himself. His eyes were at half mast when he buried his face in her

neck and inhaled her intoxicating scent. He couldn’t wait to make her his, and clawed her clothes,

tossing them in a heap to the ground. At the same time he took his jeans off.

She arched her b*dy in his n*ked chest. A low growl ripped from his throat. Every part of his mate’s

b*dy fitted in his like they were made for each other. The connection was undeniable. His beautiful

mate had dark hair that streamed on the pillow. Her peachy complexion glowed in the soft moonlight

that filtered from the window. Although she was a little thin, she could easily take care of it. She was his

queen, and he was going to treat her like one.

She grasped his hair, making him go mad. “Kiss me!” she demanded.

“Yes! I am going to k*ss you senseless!” Theo worshiped her b*dy like it should have been, like she

deserved. When she arched her hips for him, he knew what she wanted. His lusty little mate. The pull

was hard to deny. He claimed her, restraining his wolf not to mark her, which he would do after he

announced her as his future Luna. “You are mine, Carmine! Say that,” he growled as he thrusted inside

her. She was a virgin and he couldn’t thank the goddess enough.

“I am yours,” she muttered, tears running down her eyes. “Only yours…”

At that, he came hard. He was going to take her back with him right now.

“Alpha!’ His beta shouted in his mind. ‘Kade’s warriors have attacked us! Where are you?’

“What the f uck!’ he growled. Gritting his teeth, he got up and wore his jeans. He k*ssed her again and

said, “I will be back for you before the sun rises, little mate. Be safe.” He couldn’t take her to the war

zone for the sake of her safety, but he was going to take her with him after he killed Kade’s warriors. He

jumped out of the window, shifted and ran into the forest, hating Kade by the second.

Carmine woke up late in the morning, her b*dy sore, but feeling great. Like she had bloomed. Like last

night was the most beautiful dream she ever lived in. Like her mate had claimed her. Why was it she

wasn’t feeling disgusted about the thought? She removed the blanket and as she got up, soreness

jarred between her thighs. “Ah!” She sat down in pain. She looked down at her b*dy, only to find that

she was n*ked. Surprise rippled through her. There was a bloodstain on her thighs. She gasped as she

slapped her mouth with her hands. Did Kade claim her last night? Her gaze landed on her shredded

clothes. “Gosh!”

On an impulse, she picked up her torn clothes and ran to the bathroom. As she took a bath, she tried to

contact Ember about what happened, but Ember wasn’t answering. That worried her as hell. She

rubbed herself nicely until her skin was raw.

Her reverie broke when a car pulled into the garage, and she heard voices. “Where is she?” Kade’s

loud voice came. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

When she came out, wrapped in a towel, she found Kade sitting on her bed with a deep. frown. The

bed was made, and the air smelled of lavender, which overpowered the scent of arousals. Did Ada take

care of it?

Kade co cked his head as he examined her. He sniffed the air. “You smell different.” His expressions

darkened as he walked towards her. “Did you have S** with someone?” His question sent her into

confusion. He was with her last night, then why was he asking? Something was very wrong.

Horrified, she clenched her fists. “N-no,” she lied, backing a little. He was in front of her in a second.

Grabbing her hair, he yanked her head back. Icy fingers of anxiety skittered down her spine and settled

like a relentless storm brewing in her mind. “Good, because I am going to claim you now!” He pulled

her closer, his eyes flashing golden. Suddenly, a loud nasal voice reached them.

“Kade!”

“F uck!” he growled. “How did Ruby find this cottage?” Shoving her away, he hurried out of the

bedroom, leaving her bewildered. She heard Ada asking Ruby to stop.

Mingled with confusion, the dark clouds of dread cast a fog on her thoughts and emotions. If Kade

didn’t claim her last night, who was it? And why didn’t she come to know about it? Blurred images of

someone calling her ‘mine’ and worshiping her b*dy as if she was made for him, rolled over. Was she

drugged? The racing thoughts made her dizzy, ringing her fear when Ruby’s voice grew louder and

nearer. Quickly, she went to her closet and changed into jeans and a white shirt.,

The door opened with a bang and a tall woman stood in the doorway. “So she’s the rogue bi tch!” Ruby

sneered.

Carmine blinked at her, glancing at Kade, who was standing behind her. Ruby was beautiful. She was a

blonde, taller than her, and pretty curvaceous. She had dark eyes. that matched her black dress.

“Reject her now!” she snarled at Kade. Looking over her shoulder, she spat, “She is nothing but a

burden. Haven’t you learned it from your dad? Don’t you know what rogues do to you? Have you gone

insane?”

“Ruby, enough!” Kade growled as he came to stand in front of her. “Leave this place or else I will be

forced to call my warriors.”

She poked a finger in his chest. “You are repeating history. If you won’t reject her, I will kill her! So after

rejecting, throw her out of the pack!” Ruby was stopping herself from lunging at Carmine. She would

not let her dreams shatter to become the future Luna of the Blue Moon pack just because Kade found

his mate. If it were up to her, she would have got her killed already.

“You won’t do anything of the sort!” Kade said in a warning voice. “She is my mate. I have rejected her,

but I will never let her go! My wolf needs her.”

Furious, Ruby circled past him and reached Carmine. She lifted her hand to slap her, but Kade came in

the middle and enveloped his arms around Carmine to save her.

Tingles burst in her skin, going all the way down to her toes, which curled. Goddess, she hated him, but

right now, because of Ruby’s insolence, Carmine remained in his embrace just to teach her a lesson.

It infuriated Ruby even more. “Leave us, I am warning you, rogue bit ch,” she growled as Carmine

buried her face in his chest.

“Ruby!” Kade snapped a glare at her. “Stop it.”

Ruby met his gaze with hurt in her teary eyes. “Your father did the same thing and see where we are

now. Don’t you understand it? She is nothing but toxic to our pack. We are already engaged, and I am

your true Luna. If Ivy comes to know about her, she is going to throw tantrums! She will be upset. Do

you want to hurt her emotionally all over again?”

“I intend to keep this a secret from my mother,” Kade replied as he left Carmine and held Ruby’s upper

arm to drag her out of

the room. “Carmine will stay with me in this lodge and no one will come to know about her. My wolf isn’t

allowing me to leave her. Accept it, Ruby. Besides, I will mark you, not her!”

Enraged, Ruby resisted him and turned back to face Carmine. She opened her purse, fished out a fat

envelope and threw it at her. “This money is enough for you to get out of here, wh ore! So take it and

leave my fiancé. I know the likes of you. Greedy for money and power you don’t deserve!”

Kade dragged her out of the room and out of the lodge, warning her again not to

interfere.

Carmine stared at the envelope, her knees wobbling, confusion bubbling in her heart and her self-

esteem crushed. Everything seemed like a nightmare. She stared at the door for a long time, trying to

make sense out of the whole situation.

The car whirred in the garage and sped away as Kade took Ruby back, shouting orders at Ada and

others to keep a strict watch on her.
