Bride of the Cursed Alpha - Chapter 104: Chapter 104

Lucien POV
Her face burned as she shoved at my chest. “Get off!”
I laughed but obeyed her. As I stood up, I offered her a hand. She took it and stood up as well. Her arousal was now thick in air and the werewolves around us must have smelled it already. But I loved that it was me who elicited that fucking intoxicating arousal. Fuck, I wanted her so much, so badly that I had to adjust my bulging cock.
My gaze followed her as she dusted herself. I couldn’t help smirking and I was utterly unrepentant.
“Another round?” I asked, my eyes gleaming with desire.
She narrowed her eyes. “You're infuriating!”
“And you are adorable when you pout.”
She grumbled, but her face heated up more deliciously.
Over the next day, though she went for training to the arena, I couldn’t help myself and would go and watch her. She was so fucking sexy when she sparred.
My focus on the pack business was dwindling. All I wanted was to rut her. Remus was going insane about her ever since he had marked her. Initially, he was not happy and restless when he hadn’t marked her. Now he was restless because he wanted to rut her all day long. He had knotted in her, but the fucker was demanding to knot again.
‘We have to make her pregnant,’ he growled. ‘I want my pup in her!’
‘Be patient, Remus,’ I tried to reason with him. ‘Let her get into heat.’
‘You don’t understand!’ he snapped. ‘We have to be around her. There are so many unmated wolves. Auren is so beautiful that they all try to seduce her.’
‘You're paranoid,’ I said, rolling my eyes.
‘I don’t care! I want to go to my mate and knot inside her.’
The shameless bastard didn’t even hide his intentions. In front of her he was like a puppy, purring while wagging his tail. But with me, he was always in his alpha mode. Well, these days, fucking her brains out had become my new hobby. There was no way that I could stay in the office or handle any pack matter. To be honest, I wanted to put my pup inside her womb.
So when I reached home, the first thing I did was to go to the bedroom and fuck her. But she wasn't there. Her scent lingered strongly in the air. I followed her and found her in the kitchen with Vivi and Tom. She was making lunch for me, looking satisfied. Auren loved cooking. And I wanted to see her pregnant and barefoot in my kitchen or home. Remus purred as he pushed me to her. Despite the audience, I grabbed her waist from behind and kissed her ear. “I need you, Luna.”
She giggled, turned and covered my face with batter. Fuck her. I picked her up in my arms and she wrapped her legs around me. As I carried her toward our bedroom, she licked the batter off my face and if I wasn't inside her instantly, I was going to cum in my pants. So I closed the door shut, ripped her clothes, and opened my zipper, I penetrated her pussy holding her against the door. Fuck. I watched her face going slack as I fucked her senseless. My body was covered in sweat as the room filled with the sound of our sex slapping against each other. “Come for me, baby,” I said in a rough voice. On my command, she pussy fluttered all around my cock and it was my undoing. I shot ropes of cum inside her.
“Shit, I need you so much,” I said, desperation lacing my voice.
Usually I blocked my mind, but when Tarian tapped on the shield, I opened it for him. ‘Alpha Lucien, there’s a ruckus in the dungeons. Julie has gone wild and she is demanding an audience from Luna Auren.’
‘Ask her to go fuck herself,’ I growled as I lowered Auren.
‘What is it about?’ Auren asked through the mind link.
My eyes widened because I had forgotten that she could now hear us.
‘Girl, you need to keep your shield up!’ I warned her.
‘I always keep it up, but I can hear what you say sometimes. Actually all the time.’ She shrugged.
My eyes bulged. ‘Really?’
‘Yup! So now why does Julie want to see me?’
‘She needs your audience, Luna,’ Tarian said through mind link.
My patience was thinning like a stretched wire when it came to the traitors. And Julie—she was the biggest of them.
Before I could say anything, Auren exhaled slowly, ‘I’ll meet her.’
“You don’t have to, Auren,” I protested. “I don’t like her, and I intend to fucking kill her!”
Auren clenched her teeth. “I want to listen to her.”
My stubborn Luna.
Twenty minutes later, we were in the meeting room with council members. Julie walked into the room with guards, her wrists shackled. She looked disheveled, yet her eyes burned with fury. A growl ripped from my throat, forcing her to look down.
“What do you want from me?” Auren asked stubbornly.
Julie said, “I want to invoke the Ancient Trial of the Dungeons.”
The room fell into stunned silence.
I clenched my jaw as I froze. That law hadn’t been used in centuries. In it, if a prisoner could defeat the Luna, they could walk free. It was a trial meant for war-era captives, not for traitors who plotted against their Alpha.
“I won't grant it!” I shouted. “In fact, I am going to fucking kill you now!”
Julie flinched and stepped back. “This is my right, Alpha Lucien,” she murmured.
“You're saying you want to fight me?” Auren asked, her voice cool and calm, but I could feel fire underneath it through our bond.
Julie’s eyes lit up. “Yes.”
A muscle ticked in my jaw. “I won't allow this. She isn’t fighting you. If she has to fight, she will fight me!”
“That’s not how the law works,” Julie blurted.
My vision turned red. I was this close to snapping her neck, law be damned, but before I could, Auren stepped toward her. “I accept.”
The room erupted with protests.
I turned to Auren, furious as hell. “No!”
She met my gaze with confidence. “She challenged me.” Then she looked at Julie. “See you in an hour, Julie.”
Julie’s lips curled up wickedly. “See you, Luna.”
As soon as she left, I growled. “This is archaic law. It can't be used now!”
“The thing is that we never had a Luna before, that’s why it has gone unnoticed,” a council member pointed out. “But Julie has gone too far. You have to punish her. She just can't challenge our Luna!”
I wanted to go to the dungeon and tear her apart. I punched the table in frustration.
“Don’t worry about me, Lucien,” Auren said stubbornly. “I can take care of myself.”
At the end of the hour, we were all in the front garden of my house where Julie chose to fight. Auren looked impatient. Fierce, untamed, mine. My eyes went to Julie who stood opposite to her, her eyes fixed on Auren, filled with hatred.
Remus prowled beneath my skin, restless and angry. How did Julie know about this law? It was a forgotten law.
It should’ve been me doing this. But my Luna? She wanted to. And fuck if I wasn't drowning in pride and rage all at once.
Infuriated, Tarian volunteered to referee it. Both Auren and Julie came to the center of the garden. Tarian said, “By invoking the ancient law, you both acknowledge that Julie will walk free. Do you accept?”
They both nodded.
Tarian dropped his hand. “Begin.”
