Return of the scarred Luna

Ariana's pov

" You have to marry him, Ariana!," my father said for the upteenth time,eyes blaring red and brows arched creating deep lines on his forehead.

" No! father I-will-not."my lips forming the last few words, eyes locked with his angry ones.

Taking three big strides to close the distance between us,I stood my ground tho my knees were buckling,his gaze lingered over my frame,the visible veins on his forehead were the clear evidence of how angry he was.

He swallowed hard,taking a deep breath, " you know I want the best for you right? I just want you to have the best." His deep green eyes softened as they stared into mineHe held my hand gently and said, "Can you just marry Alpha Alan? He is a great man, trust me and he will even be crowned the Alpha In the next full moon."

If it was any other request I would have yes and cheaply accepted but no..not this, I shook my hand away from his hold and stepped back" that is my final decision father, I won't marry him."I stared at the wooden floors avoiding his gaze

I was expecting him to leave me alone and probably try to convince me another time but I thought wrong,a glass flew across the room in my direction,barely missing me..my eyes widened in fear.

" Why are you Soo dumb and rebellious!? No one wants to marry you because you are ugly,take a good look at your face! and here you are, giving me a hard time. Do you know how hard it was to convince John to bethrot you to Alan?" He lashed out angrily,venom spilling from every word.

My hands involuntarily went to half of my face that was burnt and a lone tear escaped from my eye,to the ground,feet glued to its spot.

He must have seen how much he broke me,cause his gaze softened with guilt and he carefully matched towards me, "Ari..i..I didn't mean.."he tried to touch me but I was quick to move,slapping his hands away.

I cleared my throat and spoke up, " you want me to marry Alan right? I will do that, when is our mating ceremony?"I asked in a low tone, weak with fear and as much as my burning throat could let out.

He gave me a doubtful gaze but still answered nevertheless, " It will hold on the day of Alan's coronation as the Alpha."

My thoughts wandered off and I recalled that he did mentioned that it was in the next full moon which was...

" In the next three days? And I am just being informed?" I questioned loudly, almost screaming. My father didn't give me any response.

"We will be leaving tomorrow to the castle,the maids wil get you ready"his face void of emotions but his eyes had a glint of guilt.

Another round of tears blurred my vision as I found my way to my room,I gathered my knees in my hands and let out all tears, I had been holding.

I cried till I was numb,didn't even notice time go by, a knock came on my door and 4 unfamiliar faces entered before I could welcome them in, my gaze ran across the room and finally landed on the last person who was my father.

" Who are they?"

" They are here for your measurement, you need to get some clothes ready," he explained. I didn't refute him and allowed all the people to do whatever they wanted to do with me.

After what felt like hours, they all matched out of the room, leaving me to the realization that I am about to start a new life.

" Congratulations on your mating ceremony Ariana," the last woman greeted me and dropped her gift basket, I gave her a smile and thanked her before she left.

" Hmph! Finally," I drew in a large breath of relief. I signaled to the maid who was fixing my hair to continue.

She finally arranged all my hair and pinned them down so that they don't scatter before I finish dressing. She left and another maid came in with my dress.

" Can we move to the dressing room ma'am ," she requested and I glanced at her through the mirror gave a curt nod

"Heyy! Luna's bestfriend in the house"my head snapped back with happiness at the sound of her voice,my best friend Toria.

Excitement washed over me and I rushed over to her, I jumped on her with joy and she hugged me with a big smile plastered on her face.

" It seems like someone missed me," she teased but I didn't deny that because it was obvious. I was about to start discussing with her when the maid called my attention back to the dressing room. I excused myself and went back to dress up.

Different layers of sacred bridal dress were worn by me and it felt very heavy and suffocating but there was nothing I could do.

I went back outside and sat In Front of the dressing mirror, looking at how different I look. Different memories started flashing across my mind andI couldn't help but tear up.

" What's wrong Ari? Why are you crying?" Her face laced with worry as she wrapped her hands around me allowing me to cry in her arms.

I felt overwhelmed and continued to weep.

" Why are you crying? I get that you are forced to be with a chosen mate but there is nothing you can do, just find solace in your new mate," she said convincingly and I nodded at her.

" I understand Tori but it's just alot to take in ," I replied and pulled her into another hug.

She disengaged and held my hand softly, she looked into my eyes and asked, " you looked very sad. You know I am your best friend right?" I nodded my head in response.

" Feel free to open up to me."

I stared down for a while and sighed, " you know we have many traditions right?" I asked and she nodded in answer.

" But you know that the most impossible person to become a Luna is a werewolf that can't shift." she nodded again.

I went off for some minutes before I spoke with all courage, " Although, you all think that I am 21 but the truth is I am actually 22 which is the legal age for me to communicate with my wolf. Unfortunately, I am about to be crowned the Luna..." I zoned off.

" Yes, everyone knows that you are about to be crowned the Luna," she answered cheerfully, thinking that was the end of what I wanted to say until I cut her off.

" But I can't communicate with my wolf Tori, I can't shift," I completed my statement.

A look of shock masked her face, " what? This is impossible."

Ariana's pov

" You can't be serious" Toria asked throwing her head back in a awkward laugh

I went silent and stared down at my feet,she stopped laughing "Oh.."

she shrugged and threw her hands over my shoulder " I mean, it's fine... no one knows right?"

" Yes, not even my father," I answered I'm a low voice.

"Then consider my your loyal knight,I will guard your secret till the grave"she had gotten up and knelt before me,bowing her head.

She looked up and winked at me and we both burst into laughter.

After another minutes of conviction, we finally agreed to keep it a secret and not tell anyone, not even Alan.

I called back for the maid and she started my makeup, I was almost dozing off by the time they were done with the makeup,they handed me a mirror.

My hands involuntarily going to touch my face where my scar was now covered up, my eyes widened in shock.

"I look beautiful".

The maid smiled and complimented my beauty.

A knock came on the door,"it's me Ari," my father said from the other side.

I sighed and nodded at the maid to open the door for him.

"Are you ready? The mating ceremony is about to start no...," his voice trailed off once i turned to face him.

"My God Ari, you look beautiful"a proud smile crept on his face, I smiled back in appreciation.

"Now come on, let's get you to the mating ceremony" he spoke softly this time.

I glanced around the room to remind myself as I have almost forgotten that this wasn't my home,it was customary for all Luna to move to Alpha's palace a day before their mating ceremony but it is totally forbidden for them to meet their chosen mate and I am no exception.

" Okay, I will be downstairs shortly," I said and began to unpin my hair. It took a while before I finished and my previously straight black hair was now curly and it cascaded down all the way to my waist.

I stood up with the assistance of some of the maids and we all made our way out of the room. Some were holding the flayed length of my dress while some were spraying red roses on the floor as I passed by.

We finally got to the stairs and far away, I could see the broad back of a man, wearing a red robe which matched the color of my bridal dress. I need no soothsayer to tell me that man was my mate.

I took a deep breath and nervously found my way down the stairs, taking heavy steps towards the man. As I got nearer, I noticed that a priest was on the podium In Front of where the man stood.

" And here she is," the priest said and the man raised his head from the ground.

I gasped as I saw the handsome face of the man, gorgeous was an understatement for how handsome he looked.

His curly brown hair packed in a man bun with a few sticking out? Sharp jawline,the most beautiful green eye had a piercing gaze which took my breathaway. Dark carved eyebrows ,his features glistened alongside the light in the room, making him the center of attraction.

" Can you hear me?" A voice distracted me from my thoughts, making me hiss in frustration.

" We will start the rites now, can you bring your hand forward?" The priest requested.

I put forth my hand and before I could say anything, I felt a jolt of pain through one of my fingers. He pricked my finger with a needle.

I was about to protest when he did the same for Alan but he didn't wince or show any feeling.

'Must be really strong' I thought to myself.

" Now, you will stick your fingers together and Alan will go ahead to mark her," the priest said again.

We both followed the instruction and a golden light emerged from the joint, instantly Alan's cut healed while mine was still bleeding

" Why didn't yours heal as well? Are you okay? Or Are you sick?" The priest asked in a concerned tone, I instantly panicked because I knew that it was because I am wolf less.

Before I could answer, Alan pulled me to himself and sank his elongated fang into my neck.

A moan escaped from my mouth and I shut my eyes tightly and winced in pain. my fangs elongated and I sank mine into his neck as well.

It took us a few minutes to stabilize ourselves and the rites were finally concluded.

" Thank Goodness," I mumbled in a barely audible voice, relieved that we were finally done with the rituals.

The celebration continued till it was dawn. I was very tired from standing and greeting people so I was happy that I will finally be getting a rest until another announcement was made.

" We want to thank you all for coming and gracing this occasion, now it's time for the mates to consummate their marriage so we will love to excuse them now."

" What? Consummate?" I yelped out in confusion, Toria dragged my hand and pushed me to a corner of the room.

" Don't you know that Alpha and Luna must consummate their marriage on the night of their mating ceremony?" She asked and I shook my head.

" I didn't know," I answered, almost like a whisper

She calmed me down and explained how important it is to please Alan on the bed while I carefully listened to all her instructions. After all the necessary information, she left while I nervously made my way to the hall.

To my biggest surprise, everyone has left and it was only Alan that stood in the middle of the hall, patiently waiting for me.

" You are here," he spoke for the first time. His voice sounded so deep and hoarse that I could feel goosebumps all over my body.

" Let's do this fast," he added and scooped me off the ground, leading the way to a room.

He entered and carefully dropped me on the bed, " this is our master bedroom and we will be sharing this place from now on," he said to me.

" Now, strip,"

" What?".

Alan's pov

She turned her back towards me and shyly began to peel her clothes off.it was a bit of a struggle due to how complicated her clothes were but it was finally gone and i scanned her body slowly with my eyes she had small round breasts,and beautiful curves, thick soft thighs and her legs were so sexy I couldn't wait to be in between them.her body white and soft..like a cloud

She must have noticed my gaze lingering on her body cause she tried to use her hands to cover her breasts

I walked to her and turned her to face me, I stared at her face in admiration while her gaze was glued to the floor.

" Do you have anything to say to me before we begin?" I asked in a low voice,sure she could hear the ravenous desire in my voice

" No, not... not at all," she stammered and ran her hand over her shoulders, trying to keep herself warm.

I moved away from her and went to dim the light in the room so as to set the atmosphere.

With a sudden movement, I pulled her in by her waist and landed my lips on hers. I could feel her freeze for a moment,but she warmed up and began to reciprocate.

I poked my tongue out for her to give me access to her mouth but she just stood still. I could tell she was a novice.

I bit her lip softly and she gasped, I took the opportunity to explore and savor the taste of her mouth, she slowly began to respond and gradually matched up to my pace.

I began to explore her body with my hands while low whimpers of pleasure escaped from her mouth.i lifted her up from the ground and laid her down on the bed

Her nipples had hardened under my touch and I began to fondle her now hard peeks,she moaned loudly as I continued to play with her, I took one into my mouth and began to suck on them, swirling my tongue around it, and occasionally grazing it with my teeth which made her shiver,I moved on to the next one.

I withdrew from her breast and looked at her face, her long black hair sticking to her face and her chest heaving up and down her eyes were narrowed with pleasure and she looked like a sexy mess.

She bit her lips,and the sight made my cock instantly really hard ,I looked down at her panties and it was soaked I could smell her desire and she wanted me.

I tore it off immediately,she let out a yelp and I immediately dipped a finger into her warm pussy

She moaned as I pumped my finger slowly in and out of her , she scrunched up the sheets in her hands,

I added another finger filling her up.

She began moaning louder and moving her body to the rhythm of my fingers

Her legs started to shake, I didn't want her to cum just yet.

I took out my fingers,and dipped them in her mouth

"Taste yourself" she sucked on them and her mouth sucking my fingers almost made me want to turn her around and take her instantly

I spread her legs and took a look at her wet pussy, she was dripping for me , I positioned myself and started to eat her wet and warm pussy, she grabbed a fist full of my hair and was moaning wildly,while I sucked on her clit and tongue fucked her.

I pushed my fingers into her while I kept sucking on her clit, she began to pulsate and boom! Streams of dewy water rushed down her pussy while she was panting out loudly.

I smiled in fulfillment for making her reach climax so fast. she was soaking wet,I locked eyes with her and she looked so beautiful, I took out my member and her eyes widened in fear

"Shuu don't worry, I'll be gentle"

I positioned my cock at her entrance and slowly began to push into her, she was so tight and warm I almost busted right then.

She shut her eyes tightly as she felt the pain of my huge member trying to penetrate her.

" she tried to stifle her scream after I finally broke the barrier, a tear escaped from her eye and I instantly wiped it off with my hand.

I started moving slowly at first, waiting for her to adjust to my length. As soon as I felt that my movement was smoother and her pain was gone, I quickened my movement and she responded with low moans of pleasure.

I groaned with pleasure as I thrusted in and out of her , her legs wrapped around me as I went deeper and her nails scratching at my back,while her eyes rolled back with pleasure, I went faster and harder and her legs started to shake again and a lil while over she let out a moan and came over my member and With a jerk of my body, I released myself inside her. I collapsed beside her and took a peek at her face only to realize that she had slept off after I came.

After standing for hours, the exhaustion from the rigorous exercise I just performed with Ariana tired me out and I also dozed off.

...

Persistent knocks came on the door, making me groan in frustration. I lazily opened my eyes deciding against the idea of checking who was knocking.

The continuous knock didn't stop and before I knew it, I was wide awake with obvious anger.

Alpha, Alpha Alan, can you attend to me?' A message came through my mindlink, making me hiss In frustration but I was more angry at myself for forgetting to shut my mindlink off.

I dragged myself to the bathroom, splashed water on my face and went out to meet whoever was looking for me.

I opened the door , it was Cayden, my beta at the door. " You better have something urgent to say," I threatened and he let out a sighin response.

" Actually, a young lady has been making a fuss In Front of your office since she claimed to be the best friend of the luna and she insisted that she has something very urgent to tell you," he explained.

I groaned and hit my forehead in frustration, " Why didn't you tell her to tell you?"

" She insisted on revealing it to you alone," he answered.

I was already outside and awake anyways so it wasn't going to change anything, I dragged myself to my office.

I met a young looking girl In Front of my office. She looked average and innocent so I let her in.

" What do you want?" Fear cladded her eyes as she stared at me.

" Let's go to the point, I was told that you wanted to see me, hope everything is fine?" I asked and she answered.

" Everything is fine but I have somethings to tell you about Ariana,"

" Ariana?" I wanted to confirm what I just heard.

" What is wrong with her?" My anger momentarily faded.

" , This information is not only important to you but also to the whole member of the park so I don't want to hide it from you," she sounded very convincing that I had no reason to doubt her.

" Ariana is wolf less and she also has a burn that covered half of her face," she revealed, getting a scoff from me.

" You can't be serious," I shouted, gnashing my teeth in anger.

"I am,I'm her best friend and she tells me everything" she smirked as she began to tell me what side of her face the scar is and a few other things.

" What is your name?" I suddenly asked, cutting her off her statement.

" Toria."

" Meet me here by evening," I said and sent her off. Then I mindlink cayden to send two maids to my office.

A minute later, the maids arrived and I told them to wait outside, I finally rounded up all my paperworks and led the maids to the room.

As much as I don't want to believe Toria, there is only one way to confirm whether she was saying the truth or not and that will be through the burn.

I faced the maids and commanded them, " wipe the makeup off, I want to see her face."
