The Alpha's Virgin Witch(5)

In a weird way, the book recognized her. This book was part of her.

Opening the book, she stared at the first page, and started to read.

“Lucy, you’re a precious, loved child, and I hope you realize how hard it is for us to write this. Please, learn from this book, and practice. Stay safe, and know we did everything we could. Love, Mom and Dad.”

Running the tips of her fingers over the message, tears filled her eyes and started to drip onto the page. Her emotions were running all over the place. She was struggling to gain focus.

“Crying isn’t going to let you read,” Caleb said, making his way out of the forest.

“Were you following me?”

“Maybe.”

She frowned, confused about why he would even be following her. Holding the book against her chest, she glared at him. “Don’t lie. Don’t you have some pack woman to go chasing after, smelling her ass?”

He burst out laughing and moved closer to take a seat in front of her. “You’re hilarious.”

“What can I say? I’m running off to become a comedian.”

“You’re not running off.”

“You can’t stop me.”

“You think reading from a voodoo book is going to be accepted anywhere you go? Try pulling that old thing out in the city, see how far you get then.”

“Go away.”

“No, not going to happen.”

“Are you being difficult on purpose?”

“Maybe.”

“What’s with all the damn maybes?” she asked.

He shrugged, pulling the book out of her hands. “So, what are we doing today?”

Grabbing the book from him, she held it tightly against her. “What am I doing? None of your business, and don’t you have somewhere else to be?”

“No.”

“What about your harem of women?”

“Don’t have any. I’m all yours for the entire day. You could be happy about that,” he said.

“Why would I be happy about that? You’re invading my space.” She frowned and looked behind him expecting to see Guy. “Where’s your boyfriend?”

He laughed once again, and she couldn’t help but smile. Caleb was a hot guy, and she wasn’t blind. She saw he was damned handsome.

“Guy’s got a date in town.”

“He’s never going to get a chance to be with Bianca if he’s dating other women.”

“What makes you think he’s dating other women?”

“He’s with Bianca now?”

“Yes. You’re here practicing witchcraft, and he’s out wooing your friend.” She went to get up, but he placed his hand on her thigh. “You don’t have to get up and go chasing after him. He won’t hurt Bianca.”

“Someone else would.”

“Guy wouldn’t let it happen.”

“I know pack law, and if any female challenges Bianca, she has to fight.”

He gave her thigh a squeeze, and her pussy grew wet at the touch. She really hoped he didn’t smell her arousal. Lucy was still a virgin, but she knew her body’s responses, and she knew about sex.

There wasn’t anyone within the pack who’d take the time to sleep with her and rid her of the pesky virginity that she was still stuck with. None of the guys in the high school had appealed to her either.

She was plagued to forever remain untouched, but she wanted sex. There were times she woke up in a sweat from the horny dreams she had on a regular basis.

“Guy won’t let that happen. Trust me.”

“I don’t even know you.”

“Yes, you do. It’s why you’re getting wet right now.”

Her cheeks heated, and she slapped his hand with the intention of him pulling away but he never did. “Get your hand off my thigh.”

“Why? I could help you with that little problem you’ve got. You ever had a man between your thighs, Lucy?”

“None of your business.”

“I’d say with the way you’re blushing, you’ve never had a man near your body. No tongue flicking your clit and making you scream their name in orgasm.”

“You ever thought that I’m more embarrassed that you think you’ve got a shot?”

Caleb moved with a speed that startled her. He was so close to her that his breath fanned across her face. “You really think you can fool me. You’re a virgin, Lucy. I’d have known if anyone bagged you.”

She tried to shove him away, but he wouldn’t budge. “You’re disgusting.”

“Someone would have told me if they bagged the witch, and the other reason I know no one has fucked you is because I knew no one would go near you.”

Lucy froze. “What?”

“The guys in the pack were weak, and they were too afraid of you because you’re a witch. I was never afraid of you. Besides, you were always supposed to be mine, and I’d kill anyone who put their hands on you. You’re mine, Lucy. Make no mistake about who you belong to. You’re mine, and I’m not letting you go.”

Was this really happening?

She could still be dreaming?

Caleb had never featured in her dreams.

In fact, no man had ever featured in her dream, just the feelings that a guy inspired.

“Nice try.”

“You think I’m joking.”

“You’re the Alpha’s son.”

“So? It doesn’t stop me wanting what I want.” He moved down until he was over her neck. She heard him take a deep inhale. “You smell so good, Lucy.”

“Stop it.”

“No. Your pussy is dripping wet, and it wants me, Lucy.”

“I don’t.”

“It doesn’t matter what you want, babe. Your body knows what it wants, and it wants me.”

She gasped as his tongue swiped over her rapidly beating pulse.

“Why deny yourself what you want?”

“You’ve got other women—”

“Not right now. You’ve got my undivided attention. I’m all yours to do with as you wish.”

She couldn’t believe him. She didn’t want to believe him, and yet that was exactly what was happening.

He moved away from her, sitting opposite. “Now, let’s go back to the book.”

“What?”

Her mind was all fuzzy. Glancing down, she saw the book was indeed open.

“Spells, witchy stuff. You may as well get some stuff done.”

She touched her neck, and shook her head.

Get a grip. He’s just trying to confuse you, and it’s working.

He doesn’t want you.

Ignore your body, and what you want.

Looking down, she started to read, doing her best to ignore the man opposite her. Caleb had stopped being a boy long ago. He was male all over, and there was nothing she could do about that.

The book took her full attention, and she was able to focus once again.

****

Caleb loved to watch Lucy as she worked through her book. She was only on the first page, and she was nibbling her lip as she read. He placed his hands on her knees, forcing her to look up.

“What are you doing?”

“Trying to help you focus.”

“That’s not helping me.”

“Well, I’m not going to stop touching you.”

“You’re being a pain in the ass on purpose, aren’t you?”

He smiled and looked down at the book. The words made no sense to him. “Can you read that?”

“Yes, can’t you?”

“It’s not in any language I can read.”

“Oh, it reads perfectly fine with me.”

She turned the page and kept on reading. He stayed silent and simply watched her. For so long he’d been watching her from afar, and now he was able to be close to her.

After another couple of pages, she closed the book and stared into his eyes. “I’m going to try something. You’re not going to freak out and start crying, are you?”

“No. I’m ready for whatever you’re about to do.”

“Okay.” She closed her eyes, and held her hands out palm upward.

Something hot tingled his hand, and when Lucy opened her eyes, they were completely black. She didn’t look scary to him. He accepted her any way he could get her.

The trees rustled, and he glanced up seeing the sun glinting through.

The leaves on the ground started to spin, and he chuckled, knowing it was his woman before him doing it.

He watched the leaves spin around, rushing around the sky, moving around them in a circle, keeping them locked together.

“Do you see it?” she asked.

“I do. You’re amazing, Lucy.”

The leaves dropped, she closed her eyes, and then he was staring into her beautiful blues.

“It’s not a lot.”

“Moving leaves is better than nothing,” he said.

She rubbed her hands together, and she placed them on the pages of the book. “I’m scared.”

“What are you scared about?”

“Everything. Magic. I don’t…” She stopped, looking down at the book. “What if witches are trained from a young age? What if I’m some dud, and I don’t have a clue what I’m doing?”

“You’re worried about boiling someone’s blood?”

“Look what I did to Patricia all those years ago.”

“You’re not fifteen anymore, and Patricia deserved it.”

“I was grounded for that.”

“You were just a human, and then you could kick a wolf’s ass. It was pretty damn hot if you ask me.”
