SWNOVELS Claimed by the Alpha Luna’s Awakening by Misha k Chapter 59
Chapter 59
Carmine approached Thor, taking one surprised step after the other. Confusion swelled inside her chest. Her mind was trying to assemble the puzzle without a picture on the box. It was as if each piece of her memory seemed disconnected and elusive. She couldn’t comprehend how Thor had such a unique scent of Alpha Theo.
Overwhelmed with emotions, she sat on the edge of his bed with her hand slapped on her mouth. What was the truth and what was the illusion-nothing was clear. “How?” she uttered as she looked at Alpha Theo with blurry vision. “Please tell me how this is possible, Alpha Theo?” she asked, her voice barely above a whisper. “I feel like-” she shook her head and tears rolled out. “I feel like I am standing at a crossroads. The answer to this puzzle is obscured by uncertainty. Everything is so ambiguous.”
Theo let out a rough exhale and kneeled in front of her. “I am going to tell you what I know, Carmine. Before you give any judgment, listen to me carefully,” he said, almost pleading with her. “After I finish, I also have questions.”
She nodded once for him to continue. She placed her hand on her chest, gently rubbing it to relieve the intense sensations. Alpha Theo held her hand and locked his eyes with her. He started, “Five years back, I had gone to the Blue Moon pack, where I had to negotiate with Alpha Kade to merge his pack with mine. He agreed to it on several conditions, which sent me flying into another fit of fury. I offered him more time, but warned him I would attack if he didn’t agree to my terms. After I issued a warning, we planned to come through the same highway as we had.
gone. However, along with Winn, Tusker and a few other warriors, I decided to run through the forest in our wolf form.” He took a deep breath in and a shudder passed through him.
“As I ran through the forest, I came across this intoxicating scent that made me impossible to ignore. Thunder led me to the scent, despite me questioning him. Once I reached the cottage, I found you.” He placed his hand on her cheek and caressed her. “Thunder screamed that he had found our mate. After all the tension I was going through, I didn’t have the energy left in me to deny the moon bond that had pulled me to you.”
Theo stopped as his chest rose and fell in anticipation. “You were sleeping, but when I woke you up, you were so… welcoming. It was like you waited for me all those years. The way you opened up for me, I was super-excited. My wolf was going crazy inside me. It had been thirty years since I was looking for a mate and then suddenly one day, I found you. Can you imagine my excitement? It was impossible for me to not take you. If I didn’t claim you that day, I think I would have died.”
He got up and stabbed his fingers in his hair. “My excitement was tinged with shock. How come you were in the cabin that belonged to Alpha Kade? I was confused as hell. and the only plausible explanation to it was that he had held you captive.”

Theo turned away and walked to the window, where he placed his hands on the ledge and leaned against it. “I wanted to take you back with me, but Kade had attacked my warriors. His spies discovered that we were going through the forest that way, so they
landmines. I was saved because I came to you, but several others died in the
set up explosions.”
“Oh g od!” Carmine gasped.
He turned to look at her. “You saved me that day, Carmine,” he said, his expressions softening. “Had I not discovered you, I would have been dead.”
A shudder of fear ran down her spine. She started trembling at the mention of the repercussions. The bond in her heart tugged her mate and Theo rushed to her immediately. “Carmine!” he rasped, wrapping her tightly in his arms. “I am fine now. Please calm down.”
In an attempt to calm her frayed nerves, she rested her face on her shoulder and breathed in his scent, despite her logic protesting.
He pulled away and explained, “I couldn’t come back at that moment to bring you along, but I was filled with rage and came back to attack the Blue Moon pack.” We defeated them in a few hours and the first thing I did was to come for you. All I wanted was to take you away and make you my Luna. But-” he shook his head. “But you were gone.” I spent the next five years finding you. Carmine, I swear-” He placed his head in her lap. “You don’t know what my life was without you. I swear I was going insane. I had sent my spies everywhere to find you, and then one day I received the news that you were in Columbia. Rest is history…”
Carmine listened to him attentively. So that’s how she got pregnant. She sucked in sharp air. “Was I very responsive to you when you met me? Why can’t I remember our encounter?” She mused, bewildered why she couldn’t remember him. Suddenly, she recalled. “Oh. My. Goddess!”
“What’s it, Carmine?” he asked, whipping his head up. “Because I was also very surprised that you couldn’t remember me. It’s been a mystery to me. My question was on the tip of my tongue, but I never got around to asking you. I was afraid that wouldn’t know the answer and think that I took advantage of you. Trust me, you consented. I swear on my life.”
you that night
Carmine bit her bottom l*p. “Kade’s cousin, Ada, was to look after me in the cabin. I think she drugged me.”
Shock blasted in his chest as his eyes went wide with fury. They flashed golden, and a low growl erupted from his throat. “You were drugged?”
“I am sure I was drugged.” She closed her eyes, trying to think of what actually happened, but the memories were blurry. “All I remembered the next day was that I

up
“I am going to burn that bit ch on stake!” Theo snarled.
“But couldn’t you make out that I was drugged?”
“How could I, Carmine?” he said with genuine concern. “Do you think that if I knew were drugged, I would have taken you?”
you
She shook her head, confusion setting in. “I-” She took a ragged breath. “I need time to think because I don’t know what is right or wrong.”
“But Carmine-”
“Please Alpha Theo. I need some time alone because I have to figure it out.”
He immediately felt miserable and his misery flowed through his bond right to her. She closed her hands in tight fists.
Theo nodded. He cupped her face and said, “You can take as much time as you want, Carmine, but I am no rapist. I waited for you to find out that we are mates because I didn’t want to put pressure on you about it. This should be your choice. You are my queen and shall always remain one. I’ll wait for you for eternity.” He rested his forehead on hers. Then, controlling his emotions, he got up and walked out of the room. He closed the door, leaned against it and slid down to sit on the cold ground. He would wait for her decision at her doorstep.
