Unscented (Emilia and Wesley) novel Chapter 43

I rolled my eyes at the ‘awes’ from some of the older women, the sparks from the book he gave me, and how I was sorta reluctant at first. Yeah, that was an understatement. I finally walked up to the microphone and grinned, plastering on that fake smile I was so used to.

I knew it was ridiculous, but I still had this detrimental self-doubt, that and the fact I’m sure my mother was out there, plotting my ultimate demise. She was kinda like Gru from Despicable Me. All bark and no bite, or at least I hoped she was.

“Hello everyone! I want to thank you all for giving me your time and attention, it honestly means the world to us.” I briefly looked at Wesley to find him already smiling at me, a toothy grin I could only describe as wolffish. “And I want to thank you for accepting me as your Luna. I’ll do my best, and I hope you all understand even when I do mess up.” The crowd cheered, and it honestly took it all in me not to drop the f-bomb halfway through that speech.

Maybe I cursed too much, but oh well, all the smartest people do. We completed the simple ceremony, slicing my hand and intertwining it with Wesley’s own cut-up hand. Which was insanely barbaric if you ask me, but to each his own. I grinned when we walked back into the house, practically collapsing on my bed. We were going back to school tomorrow, I had only missed a week, not the longest I had missed because of my mother. I tugged off my clothes and put Wesley’s big shirt on, removing what little makeup I had on and throwing my hair up in a messy bun. I snuggled back into Wesley’s sleepy body, watching as he pushed a button that activated

black-out curtains since it was only late afternoon. God, the life of rich wolves. I finally fell asleep without pain for the first time in a long time, and it was so nice. I just hope my happy ending lasts this time.

To say going back to school wasn’t awkward would be a lie. Pack members kept bowing their heads to me in the hallways, hell even a few fucking humans bowed to me! I was uncomfortable with all the attention I was receiving, and it seems Wesley understood that.

“Do you want to leave early?” We were sitting at lunch

going over what notes we had for our project due tomorrow in English, but my eyes kept wandering and meeting those of wolves. They honestly began looking at me like I was some type of god, and it was really starting to piss me off. My mood didn’t help the

weather outside very much, it became insanely windy

and dark.

Andrew pretty much gave me a pointed look while Wesley just grinned and asked more about my powers. I diverted him quickly, not really wanting to tell him just how powerful I really was. It wasn’t that I was embarrassed, I was just scared of them honestly. Instead of my mother showing me how to control them over the years, they lay dormant, and now that I wasn’t hiding, they were raging below me. I sighed as I felt them below my skin, raging through my veins. Wesley looked at me concerned, as if he could see the magic bubbling over and begging to be released. “I’m okay, just kinda uncomfortable with all the stares.” I leaned my head on his chest, grinning as he shivered at my touch. “They’ll ease up, and you’ll get used to it. Although, if some of those little mutts don’t stop looking at you like they are I’m going to slaughter

them.” He muttered the end sentence, causing me to chuckle at him. I pulled my head up and kissed him gently at the base of his throat, a deep rumble escaping from him.

“Easy little Alpha.” His eyes swirled as he gave me a toothy grin. “Don’t tease me, Emilia, and believe me,” He bent lower until his lips grazed the skin right below my ear. “I’m anything but little.”

I couldn’t help but blush, my face heating up as his hands dipped higher up my thigh. I released a pent-up breath, smirking as I rested my own hand close to his groin. “Two could play at this game, Little Alpha.”

I gently moved my fingers in circles, grinning to myself when his hand halted and he let out a guttural groan. I sped up the pace, my eyes watching his face as he dipped it into my neck and breathed heavily. “Good God Emilia.”

The bell rang as he was panting heavily, my fingers lifting up to cup his face. I kissed him gently on the lips, grinning at his half-lidded face. “See you.”

I left him sitting in the cafeteria with a hard-on and a

dropped jaw, smirking as the clouds outside finally broke and the sun showed through. Looks like today was beginning to look up.

“Are you named after Emilia Young?” I groaned inwardly at the freshman before me, her red hair splayed all over her shoulders. I could tell she was human by her scent, that and the fact she voluntarily spoke to me.
