355 The Alpha Was Utterly Disappointed
Ronan did not mind being seen as a tyrannical lover who locked Lucien up in a sex dungeon, as some of Lucien’s more avid fans exaggerated to add more oil to the fire.
It was not too far from the truth, really.
Their bedroom was practically a sex dungeon.
It almost inspired him to do what he was accused of.
Because he was helplessly addicted to Lucien’s alluring, sexy body.
Every curve, every dent in his body served as deadly weapons to lure Ronan in.
Once he wrapped his slender limbs around Ronan, the Alpha was basically drowning in the deep pool of hot, scorching love for his mate.
He did not mind drowning again and again.
As long as he could pierce Lucien repeatedly with his solidified love, mold the latter’s inside with his sinful desire, and coat the tender walls with his potent seeds.
.....
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became.
And that was why Ronan deliberately came home early that night to bully his mate.
Now, as the elders used to say: the werewolves could make plans but the Moon Goddess was the one to decide.
The Alpha’s spirit plummeted to the ground when he came into their shared bedroom to find an open suitcase on the floor. It was half filled with Lucien’s clothes and daily necessities.
“Lulu, what’s going on?” Ronan asked incredulously.
Lucien poked his head from their walk-in closet and beamed at his mate.
“You are back. Welcome home.”
Lucien put his arms around Ronan and buried his nose into the latter’s collarbone. A calming sandalwood underlined with sea salt scent entered his lungs when he took a deep breath.
“Baby, where are you going??? Why are you leaving me???” Ronan demanded to know.
Lucien knocked at his silly mate’s forehead lightly.
“I need to leave for the Silent Walkers Pack House tomorrow morning.”
“What the hell? Why???”
Lucien loosened his hug and pinned Ronan with a stare. “Don’t you know? I need to stay at my birth pack in the last week before the wedding takes place. It is the custom.”
“Screw the custom,” Ronan growled. “You are not allowed to leave.”
He bent down to put Lucien’s suitcase away, but Lucien dragged him to sit on the bed instead.
“Why are you so agitated?” he asked while giving Ronan a little peck on the lips.
Since when was a little peck enough to placate him?
Greedily, Ronan grabbed the back of Lucien’s neck and forced him to accept his deep kiss.
Lucien was being unusually obedient, so Ronan knew that he was still planning to leave.
“You are the Luna of this pack,” Ronan reminded the man in his arms. “You cannot just leave like that.”
Shaking his head with a smile, Lucien pushed himself off Ronan’s embrace. He then straddled the stunned Alpha’s lap and hooked his arms behind the dark-haired man’s neck.
Ronan made an appreciative hum as he kneaded at Lucien’s fleshy, round butt halves.
“If you are trying to coax me, you are taking the completely opposite route, Luna.”
Ronan opened his mouth and started biting into a flower bud that bloomed on Lucien’s chest through his shirt.
“Ooh... Mmn...”
Lucien bit into his lower lip and furrowed his brows.
“Ronan, don’t. Stop it.”
“Give me one good reason to stop,” Ronan kneaded Lucien’s waist and moved to taste the next one.
Unfortunately for the Alpha, Lucien had an extremely good one.
“We have to purify ourselves in the Moonlight Spring three days before the wedding. Do you want them to look at the bruises on my body when I take a bath? Hmm?”
Ronan was never able to make love to him without leaving his marks behind. Lucien’s entire body was always full with a lot of bite- and kiss marks in red, blue, and purple colors.
It was enough for common human beings to assume that he had been a victim of domestic violence.
“... They are not allowed to look at your body at all!” Ronan snapped.
Who did these priests and priestesses think they were?
To dare to lay their eyes on his mate!
These men and women were courting death!
“Tell that to the High Seer,” Lucien replied smoothly.
He then grabbed Ronan’s chin and tilted it up.
With his lips pulled into a victorious smile, he then leaned closer and asked with a seductive voice, “Was that a good enough reason, Alpha?”
“...”
Defeated through and through, Ronan had to be contented with only hugging his mate to sleep that night.
It was not until Lucien left that Ronan realized that he was suffering from serious withdrawal.
Like a teenager who was going through his first romantic relationship, he kept waiting for a call from his beloved.
Or a message.
A “hi” would be enough to lift his spirit.
He tried his best to distract himself with work, but he failed miserably.
In the end, he stopped attending to his work just to look at Lucien’s photo collection in his laptop.
Jake, his poor Beta, decided to be more efficient and just do everything himself. He could not trust the lovesick fool with anything at this point.
To Ronan’s greatest heartbreak, Lucien did not seem to be exhibiting similar symptoms.
He did not call.
He did not send any messages.
Poor Milroy was asked to check Ronan’s internet connection again and again.
Convinced that his phone was broken, Ronan asked his assistant to buy a new phone.
Even after he replaced his phone, no news came from the Silent Walkers Pack.
Ronan’s face darkened with every passing hour.
“Go check whether Lucien has arrived or not,” the Alpha ordered gruffly.
The hardworking assistant had completed the task before the Alpha even thought about it. Proudly, he reported the result of his industriousness.
“Reporting to the Alpha, the Luna arrived three hours ago.”
“... Oh.”
Inside his heart, Ronan abandoned his pride and wailed like a three-year-old child.
Whyyyyy, Lulu???? Why don’t you love me anymore????
