The Wolf God's Unwanted Luna

Chapter 141: A Dangerous Spark

I shifted my weight awkwardly in Zaliver’s strong arms, still not entirely sure how much full control I had over my own newly heightened limbs. "Do you think... maybe we could start over? Clean slate?"

Nice going, my wolf snorted dryly in my mind. Now the doctor probably thinks we’re some feral, unhinged Luna mated to the Lupus Deus who already had a solid reputation for being a walking bloodbath.

Perfect, I replied mentally, sarcasm practically dripping from my thoughts. We’re the ultimate unhinged power couple.

I muttered something softly under my breath that even I didn’t quite catch, then glanced up at the pale man I had just aggressively tried to rip apart. I offered him a small, deeply embarrassed smile.

He looked at me as if I had suddenly grown a second head right before his eyes.

Then, much to my surprise, he offered a bright grin though it was definitely the specific kind of desperate grin that screamed please don’t kill me, I have a family.

"Of course, Luna," he said quickly, his voice coming out a whole octave higher than before. "There’s absolutely nothing to forgive! I mean, sure, you attacked me and almost ripped my uh, well, the whole situation is completely understandable. Totally reasonable... I swear."

His nervous words started trailing off as his eyes darted frantically over my shoulder, his entire body stiffening as if he’d just spotted death itself lurking in the corner of the room.

I didn’t even have to turn around to know what was happening behind me.

"Zaliver, are you glaring at him right now?" I asked dryly.

"No," came his smooth, cool voice from directly behind me.

"Are you sure about that?" I arched a single brow, not buying his innocent tone for a fraction of a second.

"Yes. Right, Dr. Leonard?" Zaliver said and it wasn’t a casual question. It was a strict, unyielding command wrapped tightly in silk and steel.

"Oh yes, absolutely, Alpha!" the doctor replied immediately without a moment’s hesitation.

Yeah, that answer doesn’t count anymore. Our mate just alpha’d the poor man into complete submission, my wolf whispered.

For once, I completely agreed with her assessment.

There was a long, awkward pause, a heavy silence stretching endlessly between the three of us. I glanced down at the floor and idly swung my legs where they dangled mid-air in his iron grip.
