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

Chapter 2

Ada gave

her a potion to soothe her frayed nerves. She made Carmine drink it as she sat on the edge of the bed.

She didn’t give her the drug to sedate her, afraid that it might kill her because she was already weak

even though it went against Alpha’s orders.

Carmine went off to sleep after hours of tossing and turning. When she woke up.

it was almost mid-morning. Determined to leave, she got out of the bed and took a long bath as she

thought about her options. When she came back, her phone was buzzing. There were ten missed calls.

When she picked it up, Kade barked, “Why weren’t you picking?”

“I was t-taking a bath,” she stuttered. “B-but Alpha Kade, I can’t live here. I will never, ever be your

mistress.”

“Oh, really?” he growled. “Try leaving. Trust me, I will drag you back. If you don’t believe me, then

check outside your window.”

She walked to look out the window and, to her surprise, she noticed five warriors guarding the lodge.

“You’ve got guards!”

He let out a dark chuckle. “Yes. You can’t escape, my little wolf, You are mine, even though I have

rejected you. Don’t forget that.”

Carmine shuddered after he threatened her. She wanted to argue, but thought the better. It would

further rile him up. In order to escape, she needed to calm down. She dressed up and went to the

dining room for breakfast. She inspected the lodge, checking for escape routes. There was one, but it

had a window of ten minutes. That would do.

Kade hadn’t come, but he called her in the evening just before dinner, as if to ensure that she was still

there. He sounded tense when he said, “I will be there in two hours. 1 am in a meeting with the Alpha

Supreme. Don’t even think of stepping out of the lodge. My wolves will shred you into pieces. Even if

you managed to escape, Alpha Supremes’ wolves will kill you!”

She didn’t answer, knowing that she couldn’t provoke him. She already had a solid plant in her mind.

At dinner, Ada served her with grilled lobster and garlic bread with red wine. “You’ll need it,” she said

with a smile that reached her eyes. “My cousin isn’t bad…” she remarked. “He is under a lot of

pressure…”

Without answering, Carmine sipped wine and really liked it. Its flavor burst on her tongue and she

gulped it all down. Soon she was two glasses down. Little did she know that the wine was drugged.

Her job well done, Ada brought a very drugged Carmine back to her bedroom, thanking the goddess.

The drug would have an after-effect of enhanced S**ual urges, but at least she prevented her from

escaping.

Ada knew the Alpha wouldn’t throw her in the dungeons; he would kill her instead if Carmine escaped

under her watch, even though she was his family.

In the bedroom, Ada laid her on the mattress, took her shoes out and after she was sure that Carmine

wasn’t able to move, she switched off the lights. Carmine was murmuring and touching herself. Ada

chuckled. Maybe she would earn bro wnie points from Alpha now that Carmine couldn’t stop her S**ual

urges.

Theo was never angrier. He had met with Kade Marshall and gave him one last offer to join his empire.

In the private room where he was with Kade, who was also his half- brother, Kade insulted him calling a

b ast ard. Theo lost control and attacked him. The two had to be separated by their Betas, and it took

two more warriors to hold Theo back.

Instead of going in his car back to his home, he shifted and ran through the jungles to calm down his

Alpha wolf, Thunder. It was not long before he left his warriors behind him.

Thunder ran, his powerful muscles rippling beneath his sleek, ebony fur that glistened. silver in the

moonlight. His golden eyes scanned the surroundings with predatory focus, alert to every sound and

scent that wafted in the air.

His keen ears discerned a distant hoot of an owl and the rustle of small mammals in the undergrowth.

He darted between ancient trees, leaping over fallen logs, weaving through a maze of branches. His

fangs glistened as he occasionally peeled his lips to snarl.

And then he picked up a smell wafting in the forest- Of melting chocolates. Of coffee in the mornings.

Theo froze and came to a dead stop. His wolf let out a low growl. He veered to the right to chase that

smell. He sprinted, his amber eyes remained fixed on an unseen destination, driven by an inner

purpose known to his wolf.

Soon, he came to a ston in the middle of the night at the back of a lodge nestled in a grove, his eyes

fixed on a window that was open in the backyard.

He shifted into his human form. Pulling a pant from the washing line, he prowled in the lodge, padding

like a predator, stopping only in front of a room where the smell was strong. He opened the door and

walked inside the room.

No, it couldn’t be.

After years of hunting.

He found his mate.

Mine!

She seemed restless. Her b*dy was flushed. Her hands cupped her breasts as her b*dy arched. She let

out a soft moan and whimpered. “Please….” she murmured.

His eyes flashed golden. He padded to her and his Adam’s apple bobbed.

Mate.

His wolf growled.

Mine.

Before he could control, he had slid beside her. He shuddered when he first touched her as delightful

tingles ran down his b*dy. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

She stirred. Her eyes barely opened. “You’re back…” she murmured as she dug her wee nails into his

chest and shifted to him to bury her face in his chest.

On an instinct, he wrapped his arm around her and pulled her closer. A smile ghosted. on her lips and

she k*ssed him. F uck. His pants became tight as his erection swelled.

“What’s your name?” he breathed. And what was she doing in Kade’s lodge? His wolf was furious. He

wanted to take her away.

She chuckled. “Carmine…”

“You are mine, Carmine!” he growled, lifting her face.

“Yes…”

He captured her lips in a sizzling k*ss. The first k*ss of his mate.
