C + L – Chapter 2
••• Lucas’ POV •••
I glanced toward my mate, who was sitting in the passenger seat of my car, as I drove toward Night Shade Pack.
He was munching an apple and looking so damn cute. Who would have thought I would have a male as a mate and an Alpha at that?
Never once in my life had I ever thought about having a man as a mate, but when I first saw him, my wolf and I went crazy at the sight and scent of him. If there was no one there at the time, we would have claimed and marked him right then and there.
But he had the audacity to reject me. Fortunately, my body moved on its own to stop his rejection in time, or else I didn’t know what would happen.
Did I ever regret accepting him as my mate despite him being male? Hell no! I loved him so much despite him being quite childish. But then he was the only one who could make me feel so patient, and I wanted to spoil him to no end, no matter how silly he was.
The light turned red, and I took the chance to lean toward my mate.
He stopped eating his apple, and his cheeks reddened when he noticed my movement.
“What… What are you doing?” he asked with a flushed face.
I ignored his question and licked the apple juice that flowed from the corner of his lips down to his chin.
“Sweet,” I purposely mumbled as I pulled back.
“You… You… What are you doing?” he stammered.
I smirked as I saw how shy and flustered he was. Cute… So damn cute. His reaction was the reason I loved teasing him so much.
I leaned forward again and captured his lips into a heated kiss. He moaned as my tongue slipped into his mouth and tangled with his. His moan was enough to turn my limp dick hard instantly.
“Take him,” my wolf, Drac, growled.
I sighed and reined in my lust as I pulled back again. “Not now,” I told Drac. And not here in the middle of traffic, I added to myself.
“You..” My mate’s shy expression was enough to make Drac go wild.
Drac tried to take over my body, and I had to push him away with much difficulty.
“Not now,” I growled at Drac.
“Then why did you start?” Drac complained and growled back at me.
Ignoring him, I planted a soft kiss on my mate’s lips again before warning him, “Try not to be cute all the time.”
“I’m not cute!” Colton glared at me, which didn’t help at all. He looked even cuter when he acted like he was angry.
Damn little temptation…
He’d be the death of me; I thought to myself as I let out a helpless sigh and shook my head.
“The light is green!” Colton quickly pointed to the light and chopped down the rest of his apple, showing how much he was flustering.
I smirked as I saw how much I could affect his emotions.
“You better stop, or I won’t be able to control myself anymore,” Drac growled.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
He wasn’t the only one unable to control himself if this went on. I quickly concentrated on driving, not even daring to glance at Colton anymore in case I couldn’t control my desire.
The moment we arrived and I parked my car outside the Night Shade Pack’s main house, we saw two little figures running toward us.
“Uncle Colty! Uncle Lucas!” the cute little twins shouted as they ran toward us with their short legs.
“Eva! Evan!” my mate squealed just like the twins and hurriedly got out of the car to greet them, but I stopped him when he wanted to take the two little rascals in his arms.
“Don’t bend down,” I cautioned him and scooped up his three-year-old niece and nephew in my arms effortlessly.
“Uncle Lucas!” the twins’ excited voices sounded simultaneous before I felt their little lips land on my cheeks.
“How are you today?” I smiled and asked them.
“We are fine!” Evan, the older of the two, replied.
“You guys only love Uncle Lucas, huh?!” my mate’s jealous voice reached our ears.
I laughed before bringing them to Colton’s side so they could hug and kiss their childish uncle.
“Uncle Colty, we miss you!” Eva, who was good at coaxing adults with her sweet voice and appearance, said and threw her short arms around Colton’s neck.
Colton’s jealousy vanished and was replaced by the same excited expression as the twins.
“Where is your mommy?” Colton asked Eva.
“Uncle Colty and Uncle Lucas are late, so Mommy and Daddy are now in another meeting,” Evan was the one who answered. His expression was serious, and his little brows were furrowed as though he was accusing us of not being on time for our meeting.
I caught Colton glaring at me, and his voice sounded through our mindlink, “It’s your fault!”
I was speechless. For Colton, everything was my fault, and yet I didn’t get angry at him. “Yes, you are right. I’m sorry, I won’t give you heads anymore when you are showering,” I said seriously.
“But..” he was going to complain.
“I just wanted to give you pleasure,” I acted pitifully.
“I want it, too..” he replied.
“So I will still give you heads and fuck you in the shower?” I teased him.
And as expected, his whole face went red.
“Uncle Colty, why is your face red? Are you sick?” Eva placed her little palm on Colton’s forehead.
“No… No… It’s because the baby kicked Uncle,” Colton used the baby as an excuse to cover his fluster.
My lips curled up, looking at his reaction. Why is he so damn cute?!
“Let’s go in and wait for Mommy and Daddy,” Evan said, and we all walked in toward the living room.
Colton sat on a sofa with Eva on one side and Evan on his other side. They began chatting about games and everything else while I kept quiet, just looking at the cute scene.
“Uncle Colty, when will the babies be born?” Eva asked innocently as she rubbed Colton’s huge pregnant belly.
Colton looked down and caressed his belly, and gone was his playful expression. His expression softened, and he looked somewhat motherly.
My lips curled up again as I knew he was going to be a great mother/father.
“Brother, Lucas,” suddenly I heard Aleena’s voice and saw her and her mate, Kyson, entering the room.
They picked up their twins, one in each of their arms, and Kyson said, “Isn’t it time for you to have a reading lesson?”
“Yes, Daddy,” Eva and Evan said in unison.
“Brother, Lucas, please wait for a while. We need to bring them to their study room,” Aleena said, and they went with the twins, leaving only me and my mate in the room.
“Lucas, do you still remember the first time we saw Aleena?” Colton asked.
The first time I saw Aleena? Who could forget it?
“She has changed so much, don’t you think so?” Colton asked.
I agreed with him. Aleena was small and weak when we first met her; now, she is a confident, beautiful, and powerful Lycanthrope. No one would have thought a small, weak girl would turn out to be this powerful.
“I don’t regret giving her the title of Alpha Queen. She’s much more powerful than me. She deserves it,” Colton said. It was obvious he was proud of his little sister.
“Are you sure it’s not because you don’t want all the responsibilities that come with the title?” I teased him.
He rolled his eyes at me and smiled sweetly, “I want to be your Luna.”
“Stop it,” I growled in warning. His words made my dick hard.
He looked at me and knew what his words had done to my body. He raised his brows provocatively and smirked.
I didn’t care where we were right now as I moved closer to him and kissed him hard.
When I pulled back, his cheeks had reddened.
“Dare to provoke me again?” I growled.
“No!” he shook his head frantically, and I smirked.
“Finish being a bottom?” I heard Kyson’s voice.
Colton glared at him. These brothers-in-law were always haunting each other.
“Kyson, don’t provoke a pregnant man. He needs to have stable emotions,” Aleena told Kyson, yet I still saw her trying hard not to laugh.
Kyson and Aleena sat down and looked at Colton.
“The delivery date is near, right?” Aleena asked.
“Yeah. In a month’s time,” Colton nodded as he caressed his belly again.
“Any problem with the pregnancy so far?” Aleena asked again.
“No. Everything’s going well,” Colton smiled brightly.
Suddenly, Aleena and Kyson looked at each other and stood up to go.
“What’s wrong,” Colton asked.
“There’s a rogue in Solaris. They caught her, but..” Aleena hesitated to tell the rest of her words.
“But?” Colton prompted.
“I think it’s best if we go see her,” Aleena said, and we followed her out of the house to the infirmary.
