AWAKENING LUNA: DARKNESS HOLDING THE LIGHT BY MAJIE CHAPTER 5

CHAPTER FIVE

ADELIA

Lewis’ magnetic eyes stared at me as if he wanted to imprison my soul. He lightly stated his offer, as if This belongs to .

it was but a small matter to him.

On the other hand, I could not believe what I heard.

In my visions, I knew that he did not have any mate. Nobody knew what happened to his mate. Did she

die early on? Or did he not find her in the first place? No one had a clue. But there was no question that

many women came after him, and they were all badly rejected, with some even committing mistakes

that caused them their lives. ‘I was aware of that. That’s why I didn’t even think of me becoming his

mate….’ I pondered.’ To think that he will directly offer to mark me….’

Lewis was observing me for a while before his eyes slowly narrowed. “Hhmm? Can’t bear to be marked

by another?” He asked me in a gentle voice yet I almost jumped in fear.

I gripped my hands and said in a resolute voice, “No.” In my visions, I gave Alec all of my heart and

soul. I did everything in my power to support and protect him… only to be stabbed in my heart before

he absorbed my wolf. That future, I could never let it happen. So I would do everything in my power to

prevent it… which necessarily includes removing my treacherous mate from my life. “From the moment

I decided to avoid him, I already decided to cut any relationship with him, “I decisively told Lewis. “It’s

just… I was surprised by your offer,” I sincerely told him. “I didn’t expect that you would be willing to

make me your mate.” Lewis merely raised a brow and did not reply to my statement. Instead, he asked

me, “So what is your answer? Think carefully… because I will not ask you a second time.” I licked my

dry lower lip and before telling Lewis with an unwavering tone, “I agree.” “…but,” I started to say but

was not able to finish because Lewis reached out for me. Without a warning, I felt his arm wrapped

around my middle, pulling my body close to him. And before I could react, I felt his hot breath on the

side of my neck… the place where my mark would be placed. “Wait!” I hurriedly said as my heart

started to grow more panicked. “There are no waits and buts. It’s either you agree to be mine or not,”

Lewis softly said. Each time he spoke, I felt his hot breath on my skin, making it tingle. His body was

pressed closely on mine, making my face turn beet red because of embarrassment. “And since you

have agreed, then let’s not waste time and get over it,” he whispered on my skin before I felt his teeth

gently grazed on my neck. I was thoroughly flustered. Lewis stayed still for a few seconds as if he was

giving me some time to stop him. But even

when my mind was bewildered with the sudden situation, my heart had already decided that in this

lifetime, I would stand on Lewis’ side. And so I did not move an inch and let Lewis do what he wanted

to do.

As if he was teasing me, Lewis softly chuckled upon my lack of resistance. Then, his teeth slowly

pierced my neck. I did not feel anything at first… until a warm and smooth energy slowly entered my

body and slowly reached my heart.

It was like fireworks had been set in my soul. My mind instantly went blank as my body trembled. On

the base of my neck, I felt a scorching pain as if something was being tattooed on it.

I felt hot and cold at the same time. It was like my soul was burning, yet my body was freezing cold. At

one point, it had become almost unbearable and my body felt like breaking.

Lewis’ warm arms enveloped around my body, giving me comfort and protection. I bit my lower lip and

leaned towards him for support. Suddenly, I heard my wolf howl and the painful feeling stopped. Right

away, a comfortable energy washed inside my body and I sighed in relief. ‘Ylva…’I worriedly called for

my wolf. ‘Are you alright?’ My wolf softly howled, indicating that she was fine… even happy. I sighed.

‘We made it,’ I told her. ‘Hopefully… We will be safer now.’

Suddenly, I felt fingers brushing through my hair and I suddenly felt nervous. A mark is a symbol of a

lifetime promise and proclamation. From the moment that I allowed his mark on me, I already belonged

to Lewis. And even though I would not feel the mating bond that I felt with my destined mate, starting

from that moment, Lewis would be my partner… the other half of my life. It was like a werewolf

marriage…. And I just got married to Lewis, the alpha of the Pack of Talascar… the most mysterious

werewolf in the lower realm.

Lewis did not take his arms that were surrounding my body and I could still feel his hot breath on my

face, indicating how close we were together. ‘We look like real lovers,’ I thought to myself before my

heartbeat became faster. The realization of our current position made me even more flustered. And

Lewis definitely made it even worse when he suddenly touched my nose with his finger before saying,

“That’s a good

girl.”
