I Am His Luna

Chapter 27

Enzo didn’t show me around the villa because we were all exhausted from the trip. He brought me to a well-furnished bedroom with luxury decorations. There was a king-size European-styles princess bed with many dolls and throw pillows sitting on it. A light, sheer bed net hung above it. The room’s wooden floor was also covered with a snow-white cashmere carpet, and there was a wardrobe filled with dressesOverviewing the floor-to ceiling window is the beautiful scenery of the garden What surprised me was the independent toilet and bathroom situated in the room. I had never stayed in such a nice room before. It looked even better than Melissa’s room! But… this room didn’t seem to belong to a man. I raised an eyebrow at Enzo. “Is this your style?” Enzo leaned against the door frame with his arms crossed over his chest and asked me, “Do you like it?”

“I do. But I didn’t think you stayed in a room quite like this one.” Enzo lowered his head and chuckled. “Why are you laughing?” I asked. “Of course it’s not for me. My room is next door. I had this room prepared for you.” I blurted out, “Aren’t you going to sleep with me?” In the days after the incidents in the Blue River Pack, we slept together almost every night. I thought the arrangement would remain the same when I got here. “Of course not,” Enzo replied with raised eyebrows.

“But back at the Blue River Pack-”

“That was because I was afraid Ellen and Melissa would retaliate against you. I was worried. Now that we’re back here, I have nothing to be afraid of.”

I nodded.

Enzo, however, suddenly straightened up and leaned closer to me. “Or do you prefer the other arrangement?”

I leaned away from him. “No.”

He let out a sigh behind me.

“I thought you’d miss me after all the times we’ve slept together, even if we just cuddled and chatted,” he said.

My cheeks burned. I had nothing to say to that.

Enzo got closer to me once more, then he embraced me from behind and whispered into my ear. “You should know that I’m waiting for you, Andrea. I’ll wait until you’re willing to give yourself to me.”

He kissed my ear and said, “Until then, we’ll sleep apart.” My ears got even redder.

“Good night,” he said, then turned and closed the door before leaving.

Tired from the long journey, I changed into a pair of silk pajamas and lay down on the soft, comfortable bed. I closed my eyes and soon fell asleep.

However, just as I was about to fall into slumbery sleep, my heart skipped a beat, completely disrupting me. Perhaps it was because Enzo had held me to sleep every night in his arms for the past few days, so I missed the feeling of being in his arms and the scent of wine from him.

I tossed and turned in bed, trying to sleep but to no avail.

I sat up with the pillow in my arms and scratched my head. After struggling with myself for a few minutes, I resigned myself and slipped on my slippers. I flicked open the door softly, then tip-toed to Enzo’s room.

My rationality was at war with my desires.

The logic told me not to throw myself around like a she-wolf in heat with no shame.

But the desire was urging me to give in and to follow my innermost desire to bury myself in Enzo’s arms.

Perhaps I was not a person with a particular sense of reason, or I allowed desire to take over, but I eventually raised my right hand. I took a deep breath and was about to knock on the door “What are you doing, Miss Gilmore?” Right before my hand landed on the door, a thin, bony hand with aged spots suddenly grabbed my wrist.

I blinked and looked stunned at the woman with silver hair and dark brown eyes.

Instead of calling me Luna, she addressed me as “Miss Gilmore.”

“You should return to your room to rest,” the old woman said, face sunken with a stony expression.

“I…”

The pressure I felt from her was intense. She reminded me of Ellen, and my stuttering issue came back to me again when I faced her.

“Alpha has to get up early tomorrow to take care of things in the Pack. You shouldn’t bother him at this time.”

She stared into my eyes, her tone morosely cold. “I want to sleep with him,” I kept my head down whispering. My hands on the pillow tightened.

“Alpha has his reasons for the separate room arrangement. So, you should play your part nicely as an obedient marriage alliance.” The old woman raised her eyebrows, but that did

nothing to lessen the creases in the corner of her eyes.

It looks like she didn’t know that I was Enzo’s mate. From her point of view, I was just his marriage partner that the Blue River Pack had chosen for him and that there was only beneficial interest in ourExclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

relationship, and she wanted me to understand that.

I clenched my fist, trying to hide my uneasiness.

“Go back,” she said. I nodded, giving Enzo’s room one more glance before slowly making my way back to my bedroom

The next morning, when I opened the door with dark circles under my eyes, Enzo was standing right in my doorway. He took one look at me, and his jaw dropped. “Didn’t sleep well?” I nodded. My head felt heavy. “Is it because you don’t like the room?” he asked. “No. I’m just not used to the change of place,” I said evasively. Enzo raised his hand to rub at my sore temples. “You’ll get used to it,” he said. I enjoyed the warmth from his fingertips. I wanted to tell him that it wasn’t the room I wasn’t used to, but the lack of his presence instead.

Enzo left after breakfast. He hadn’t been back to the Pack for a while and had a lot of things to deal with.

I stayed in the villa by myself.

In the afternoon, I got bored and started exploring the compound.

I started out from the backdoor and walked about a hundred meters before I reached a fountain.

WOMAN

A stone wolf was howling towards the sky in the middle of the fountain. Four surrounded springs spouting water were facing the four directions, north, south, east, and west. I was about to reach out to scoop up a handful of water when I heard someone speak from behind me. “Are you the woman that Alpha brought back?” I turned around and saw a girl with a high ponytail, a pair of big eyes, wearing a leather jacket. She was tall, had smooth muscular arms, and tanned skin. She seemed like a female warrior.

“May I know who you are…?” I asked after nodding. She stepped toward me and tilted her head. “I’m Alpha’s battlefield partner, Cindy. I fight alongside him in every single war. And I live here, of course, so I’m kind of the mistress of this villa, I suppose.”
