Beast Alpha and His Cursed Luna
Chapter 126: The L word

Chapter 126: The L word

VALENCIA’S POV

"You are here," Alina said and I looked at the alpha who immediately raised his face slightly, his gaze locking with mine, making me blush immediately.

"How are you feeling?" He asked me and I nodded, feeling even hotter after Alina said those kinds of words.

It was almost as if I was exposed or something.

"I am good. You?" I asked, feeling awkward, and he raised his brows as if not expecting me to act like this.

I sat in my seat and looked at Carl, who looked at my hand.

"Were those deep wounds?" He asked me and Alpha looked at my hands, probably smelling the scent of the disinfectant and healing ointment now that Carl mentioned it.

However, he did not ask me anything.

"He wants to take you on a date," Alina whispered into my ears, and though her words were barely audible, I knew Alpha Maverick could hear her pretty clearly because of his alpha hearing.

His hands paused over his plate and I gulped, quickly placing my hand over Alina’s mouth.

"Haha, Carl, what the hell? You can’t just call our meeting a date just like that," I said to cover up Alina’s slip-up while Carl looked at me confused.

However, just like always, rather than asking me and putting me in a tough spot, he played along with it.

"We are going to dine in a restaurant too. Isn’t that exactly what people do on dates?" Carl asked, and I sighed in relief while his gaze asked me what I was thinking.

I signaled to him that I would tell him about it later and he hummed.

"So you call the meeting date now?" Alpha Maverick asked, and I immediately felt caught.

This man was one person I always had such a hard time dealing with.

The way he looks at me as if he can dig into my deepest and darkest secrets without even trying leaves me unsure of everything myself.

"By the way, I am planning on training with Alina today. Will you be available to watch over it? Just in case I don’t make a mistake. I want to learn a few tricks," I said but Carl scowled.

"That’s a pity. My schedule is full today," Carl said, and I looked down at my hands, not liking it.

This training was going to be another way for me to keep myself distracted from things. I can’t even ask Alpha Maverick, knowing all too well he was going to the engagement party himself.

"Is that so? Never mind," I said.

"Do you want me to stay?" Maverick asked, and I shook my head.

"You carry on with your schedule. I don’t want to interrupt it. I will figure out something," I said and he nodded, not forcing it.

I looked at Alina who looked at me excitedly and couldn’t help but shake my head.

What was I thinking? I at least have her. I pulled her cheeks before urging her to eat more because we had a long day ahead.

If I was going to use this to distract myself, I was going to do it for a longer duration.

"Are you sure it’s okay? You just got that injury on your hand," Carl said and I hummed.

"It’s okay. I have a bigger goal in mind. These wounds ate nothing comparatively. I have a beta to show her place, an alpha to put under my heels," I smirked and Carl realized what day I was talking about.

"No way you are thinking of it," He said, flabbergasted.

"I am thinking of exactly that day," I said.

"Dylan would never approve of it. Heck, the council head won’t approve either," Carl said and I shrugged.

"Last time I checked, I don’t need any validation from anyone. What more would you guys do? Kill me? Be my guest," I said, knowing all too well this is just going to piss him even more.

"You!" Carl started but didn’t say anything and just sighed, making me grin.

"I will be with you. Whatever it is, I will support you. If you need to train hard to become stronger and learn some new tricks, I will teach them to you," Alpha Maverick said.

I looked at him, his expression telling me he was serious this time, not joking.

For a moment, I felt stuck. The way his eyes locked with mine as if he was trying to channel his feelings with me.

My heart skipped a beat, and I looked down at my plate.

What was he doing? How can he look at me with such raw emotions in front of everyone? That to be when he probably doesn’t like me that much? Was it that easy for this alpha? I wondered before calming my thoughts, knowing all too well that Alina could hear my thoughts if she tried and I didn’t want her to listen to any of it.

"Thank you," I muttered under my breath.

After having breakfast, Alpha Maverick held my hand and pulled me to the room just like the last night and I looked at him with furrowed brows, unsure of what he was planning.

"I have to go to the Hazel Moon pack tonight for Alpha Tyler’s engagement party. I won’t lie. It was my fault for thinking like that, but I actually wanted to take you there with me as my partner," Maverick said, his words surprising me.

Does he realize what he was saying? He was willing to take me to a party where many other Alphas would be arriving too.

Does he not know what it would mean? He was a man with no mate now and if he brought a random female to the party, it would only mean he was serious about her and was trying to announce it to the world.

"What now?" I asked, genuinely curious.

Did he change his mind?

Though I should be glad that he wasn’t thinking about doing it anymore, for some reason, the thought that he wasn’t serious about me anymore made me feel bad.

Was I flipping on my own emotions? Was I starting to like this man? What was going on?

"You don’t have to answer this question," I said, jerking his hand away so I could leave and save myself some face.

"Now I don’t really want to do it. I think it would be better if I could mark you before taking you anywhere public. I don’t want people to come to you and try to take you away from me because you would be available to everyone just because no one marked you. Call me selfish, Mitsuki, but every cell in my body wants me to make you mine at the moment. I can’t promise an eternity to you but I can promise to love you till I am alive," Alpha Maverick said.

My body froze at the L word, and I looked into his eyes with wide eyes of my own.

"Shhhh, don’t speak anything. I am sorry. That’s what my heart told me to say. Don’t take it seriously, please. I want to do it on a special day with a big surprise," Maverick placed his forehead on mine, closing his eyes as if he was panicking that he said that word accidentally.

I could not help but feel my heart warm at his actions.

"Mmm," I said, cupping his cheeks, forcing him to look at me.

"I don’t want to go to the engagement either. That place is not for me. There are answers to questions that you don’t know and I promise I will tell you everything with time, but please give me that time," I said and he smiled.

"You have all the time in the world," he whispered before placing his lips on mine.

I was about to open my mouth to deepen the kiss when someone knocked on the door and I cleared my throat, pushing him away, making him smile.

"Stupid girl," he whispered.
