The Rejected Wolf Turn Mighty Luna

Millicent's POV

Sylvester came into my room and though I did not want him there, I pretended I did not mind his presence. He had to believe I was falling in love with him. Once I gained his trust, I would strike him in a way he would never have imagined.

'Yes?' I said with a smile on my face.

'Have I told you how beautiful you are?' he asked, coming close to me. I felt like backing away but I stood firmly where I was with the smile still pasted on my lips.

He tipped my face up and kissed me lightly on the lips. I felt like spitting on his face when he tipped my face up but I knew it would ruin my plans. After enduring his kiss, which surprisingly didn't feel so bad, it felt like he had imprinted his lips on mine and I nearly raised my hands to wipe it off my lips but I stilled my movements yet again. For how long would I continue to restrain myself?

'You have been telling me that since I got back', I replied.

'But you do not believe me?' he said, looking pained.

'I know you have convinced yourself of that fact', I said. 'Whether or not it is true is a question for another day'.

'I want you to make up your mind soon to be my Luna so that we can truely be one. After that, I can wed you officially. I cannot wait to claim you', he said, rubbing his face on hers, with his eyes closed, so he did not see the look of disgust that crossed my face.

'Oh Yes', Milly jumped up in joy.

'I can't wait as well'.

'Better control yourself. If you think I am going to allow him anywhere around me, then you have another thought coming!' I scolded my randy wolf.

'He is not really that bad once you get to know him and I am certain, he will give us a great time in bed!'

'Shut up!' I shouted at my wolf, my cheek flaming hot and not until Alpha Sylvester jerked up to look into my eyes did I realise I had spoken out aloud.

'I was not speaking to you', I said sheepishly. 'And I hadn't realized I had spoken out!'

'That's okay!' he said easily.

'But what I do not understand is your sudden change of heart concerning me', I said.

'Once you left, I started missing you terribly and I realised that I had feelings for you. I tried to fight it but there is so much a man can do', he smiled in self mockery. ' Like I told you since you came back with me, I have been looking for you far and wide but did not know you didn't go to far from me. It was during one of the search that my wolves found you and reported it to me'.

I nodded thoughtfully. 'That answers the question of how you knew where I was!' I said, recalling one day, when I had been out walking with Raph and had fancied I heard a sound and saw movement in the bushes. That could have been the day, they found me. But why had they not spoken to me? They must have been acting on Sylvester's instructions, I decided.

'But what about Cathania?' I asked.

Sylvester jerked. 'What about her?' he countered.

'I have not seen her since I got back. Did you send her away?' I asked innocently.

'Of course she has to go away, for my Luna to make her appearance', he said. 'Once I realised, I had feelings for you, I cancelled our engagement and asked her to leave'.

'And she left without complaint?' I asked, finding that very hard to believe. I knew how stubborn Cathania could be. And why had he been so shocked that I asked about' the woman he had been engaged to? He should have known I was going to ask about Cathania. Why was he acting so guilty?

'Of course she put up a fight but I am the Alpha or are you forgetting that? she had to leave eventually', he said smiling mischievously. I nodded. He could do that. And it felt strange to see him act so nicely towards me. I could handle his hostility but this new behaviour was something else.

'I want to have a cold bath now, could you excuse me?' I asked, wanting him gone.

'I was hoping you would invite me to join you', he said suggestively, his voice husky.

This was dangerous ground and I did not want to explore that arena at all.

'You promised to give me time to come to terms with everything but I am beginning to fell rushed!' I said harshly, hoping it would put him off.

'Of course. Please take your time. It's just that I'm having a hard time taking my hands of you. And I can't wait for you to give me wonderful pups, especially an heir to succeed me', he said, rubbing his thumb on my lips. I felt a prickle of desire and excitement and opened my lips, wanting more but I caught myself, pushed his hand away and squashed the tickle of desire I felt, immediately, furious with myself for showing such weakness. This was no way to feel if I am to carry out my mission.

'Do not fight it, Millicent', my wolf spoke in my head. 'Let us have fun with our mate'.

'He's no longer our mate, damn it! When will you get that into your thick skull?' I asked Milly.

'Then will you deny the fact that you enjoy the way he's been courting you?' Milly asked.

'I enjoy seeing him squirm, that is what it is. Not his courtship! Do not forget this is all a farce and I am here for a reason, with a mission?' I took a deep breath. 'The earlier you forget about him and stop acting like a wolf on heat, the better for you! And you should be on my side for goodness sake. If you do not support me, who will I count on for support?'

'You do not have to be so aggressive', he said, laughing mockingly. 'You only have to say that you don't like me touching you just yet and I'd listen or was your reaction of slapping away my hand just now, more because you surprisingly found that you enjoyed my touch?'

I was dumbfounded. I opened my mouth but no words came out. I was seething, thinking he had found out that for just one moment there, I had felt desire for him, but his next words put me at ease.

'You don't have to look so shocked! I was just joking. But is my touch really that disgusting that you cannot bear to feel my hands on your skin?' he asked.

'Oh no, it is not disgusting at all', my wolf said in my head. And I shook my head, hoping to shake her away from my head.

Yes, it is as disgusting as hell and I feel nauseated that I allowed your touch no matter how feathery, I thought but refused to say anything.

'Alright then', he said. 'Since you want me gone so badly so you can have your bath, go right ahead. I shall see you soon!'

He left at last and as soon as the door shut behind him, I sank down on all fours, breathing a sigh of relief, this was going to take my best acting and will power because even my wolf seem to be in support of him.
