LUNA'S FORBIDDEN MATE

DAVIDA.

After Franklin left, slamming the door behind him angrily, I let out the huge breath I was holding, collapsing against my closet to the floor, breathing heavily, my hand on my chest.

"He is back, he is back," I thought, taking my lower lips into my mouth and biting hard on it.

"Oh moon goddess, why?" I cried out, my heart pounding vigorously against my chest, remembering how close he was to me, a few minutes ago.

His hands on me, our faces almost meeting, his manly breathing lingering on my skin and making my insides, underneath, pool. 

The way I just desired his touch, the way I almost begged for it as he looked into my eyes, with those piercing, golden irises of his that created a striking contrast with his hair, making him look dreamy.

 "Mate" Lylah, my wolf, squeaked in my head, flipping around happily and nudging me to go meet him, but I blocked her out, holding myself.

He had even grown more handsome over the years, hot. I had run my eyes across his chiseled features, down to his wine-stained lips that had me gulping. 

I enjoyed the way they moved, pressing themselves together as he ranted about me hating him.

'what?' I pondered in shock, dropping my towel with a gasp. 

How could he even think such, does he know how badly I just wanted to fly into his arms and crush my lips on his?

Does he have any idea of how hard I was trying to hold myself back, especially with the way his hot, dark gaze was on my chest, making my nipples hardened, arching, and pleading to be sucked?

I wanted both his huge, manly hands and lips on them. I wanted to arch my back as he did things to me, like getting on his knees and eating me up.

I was so lost in thoughts and only came back to earth after he placed his hands on me, almost kissing me. 

I found myself wanting to shut my eyes in anticipation when I recalled all these weren't right.

I immediately flew backward and then landed him a hot slap, flinging his face aggressively to the other side, seething and cursing him, when within I was praying he made another move, like grab me.

I came to regret what I did when he turned to face me, his sparkling golden irises dimming, his lips quivering due to sorrow, as he yelled out his frustrations. 

I noticed my hand's imprint on his cheek, it was red and was like a blemish on his perfect skin.

"I will stay away, Davida" were his last words before he departed, tears welling up in his orbs. I felt a stabbing pain in my chest and I clutched it hard, pressing my lips together as I tried not to cry.

'I never wanted it to be this way; I just wanted to show him just as much love, I wanted to be there for him always, but unfortunately, I can't. '

Once again, the moon goddess dealt with me, putting me in an extremely complicated situation with my mate. 

I closed my eyes, letting all my resolve down and breaking into tears as always. 

Franklin, I wish things were different. I wish I didn't have to make that promise; I wish I could just look you in the eyes and tell you how much you mean to me.

My heart belongs to you, you are mine but sadly, I can't be yours.

I wiped off the last drop of tears as Athena came into the room. She immediately knew what had happened, judging by my mood.

"You know he is older now; I don't see why you can't give in to your bond and desires now?" She suggested and I just rolled my eyes, chuckling in the process.

"Do you think age is the problem here?" I asked her, and she kept quiet, just looking at me, with her hazel orbs, the wind coming through the window from outside, blowing her dark hair away.

"I made a fucking promise to her, Athena; more so, I am his mother; that is incest" I yelled, my shoulders slumped.

"He thinks you are his mother, Athena, not that you are truly his mum, and I believe she must have left him in your hands for a reason." Athena reminded me, a sharp edge to her tone, as she gave me a piercing glare.

"Still the same thing, Athena. Let us respect the dead; let me respect the dead". I told her, and she just shook her head sideways, folding her hands behind her back.

"When are you ever going to learn Vida and just put yourself first?" She questioned and I went silent immediately, my gaze dropping to the ground, unable to give a response.

"It's just like life is repeating itself or should I say giving you a second chance, but you are about to mess it up again"

"For once, why don't you just live your life, do what you want and be happy?". 

A sad smile formed on my face.

"I already said it before, Athena. I am not meant to be happy; she is punishing me". Athena let out a weary sigh, obviously tired.

"I will leave you to it, then". She added, before departing and leaving me all alone. I moved to my bed, sitting and wrapping my hands tightly around myself, remembering I had been in this same position, centuries ago.

"You will never be happy, Vida. No sane man would ever want a woman like you". He yelled, the side of his lips curling into an evil grin, moving closer to me as I moved backward, trembling when he reached out, grabbing me by my hair so hard, I screamed, tears gathering at the brim of my eyes.

"How I love feeding on your pain, why don't you get on your knees and take Daddy's cock like the whore you are?" He whispered dangerously into my ear, biting my earlobe in the process and sending shivers down my spine.

Then he flung me against the glass wall nearby, before busting into a maniacal laughter, one that sent me goosebumps all over my body.

I shut my eyes tightly, not wanting to think about those horrible times when Kelvin made my life a living hell.

Full Moon Festival.

I stood in a corner, watching him from afar. The way he snorted and just rolled his eyes when people gathered around the statue of the moon goddess to pay their respects.

On its own accord, my face crumbled into a smile as I watched his cuteness, wishing I could just walk up to him. 

Just then, my nipples started itching me again, my pussy clenching and pooling. My body felt hot all over as a very alluring scent hit me, my wolf dancing in my head.

'oh no!' I bit back my moan, knowing he was going to feel it tonight. A spark of excitement went through me, causing my palms to grow sweaty and my hands trembling.

But at the same time, it felt like a knot was being tied in my tummy, as I watched him come towards my direction, shifting my weight from one foot to another.

Just then, a tiny voice was heard, followed by a scream, and when I blinked, an unknown girl was clinging to Franklin, her waist wrapped around his waist as she kissed him.

The thin lines of my brows jumped up in surprise as I stood there, my jaw dropping and at the same time, my wolf giving fierce growls in my head, snarling her teeth and nudging me to transform so she could rip the bitch apart.

Anger coursed through my veins, my claws begging to be used.

"What is going on here?" I asked, in a low, menacing tone, deciding to make my presence known...

"Mate" He growled, but not directed at me, but at the beaming fool. 

"What?".
