Chapter 290

290 What Happened In The Eternal Sleep Lake?

They lost their Mind Link once, so Ronan became a little paranoid. If calling Lucien once did not make him suddenly appear in front of him, then he called again. And again. And again.

‘Lucien.’

‘Luciennnnnnnnnnnnnnn...’

‘LULU....!!!!!’

“For Goddess’ sake, I am coming!!!” Lucien exclaimed, pushing the door open and scowling at the mischievous werewolf on the bed.

Ronan grinned at him. He extended both hands at his mate. “Come here, my baby.”

Lucien heaved a deep sigh, but his face was full of smiles.

“Hey, Alpha,” he said while climbing into the bed and nestling in Ronan’s safe embrace.

“Hey, Luna,” Ronan said in response. He kissed Lucien on the forehead. “I have missed you.”

.....

Lucien hooked his arms around Ronan’s neck and whispered in a seductive tone, ” Oh really, how much?”

Ronan circled Lucien’s waist with one arm and pushed him onto the bed.

“Enough to make love to you here and now.”

Lucien broke into laughter and smacked at Ronan’s shoulder, lest he really planned to strip and bully him all night long.

“Lulu...”

Ronan looked down at the man beneath him, his thumb gently caressing the latter’s cheek.

“I love you so much,” he said. No matter how many times he said it, he never felt that it was enough. He had the urge to keep telling Lucien and remind him again and again.

Lucien chuckled.

“Shut up and kiss me,” he ordered.

Ronan grinned.

“Right away, Luna.”

Intimate kisses were exchanged between the two werewolves, who were reunited once again. Ronan vowed to himself that he would not let anything or anyone come between him and Lucien, ever again.

All that he wanted to do at the moment was drag Lucien to the Holy Temple of Moon Goddess to marry him.

And then, to make love to him day and night.

As the thought crossed the Alpha’s mind, he quickly put it into action. A pair of naughty hands fondled Lucien’s butt and hooked into his pants to pull them off.

Lucien’s eyes flew open when he realized what Ronan was trying to do.

“Ronan, wait, we can’t,” he hastily said while pushing Ronan’s hands away.

The Alpha pursed his lips in displeasure.

“Why not?” he demanded.

A soft pink color crept to Lucien’s cheeks. He looked so adorable that Ronan could not help but take a bite.

“Your mother is next door!” Lucien said urgently. “And your father too!”

Ronan’s face darkened in an instant.

“Why?”

“Your father hurt his back when he escaped with your mother.”

“I know, but why are they together next door?”

Lucien gave Ronan an incredulous look.

“... Do you want to go over and ask?”

Best

The Alpha groaned and let himself fall on the bed.

“Forget it,” he said, his words muffled against a pillow.

Shaking his head at the big, pouting wolf, Lucien ran his hand across Ronan’s back and earned himself a big smile.

Sex was out of the question, but they could still snuggle.

Unfortunately, Lucien was a lot more interested in knowing what happened between Ronan and Lucrethia after the latter destroyed the Werewolf Council Headquarters.

Ronan scoffed.

“She was a sly one,” he growled at the sheer reminder. “She let the building crumble on top of us, uncaring about the life and death of so many people inside just so she could run away. When I saw her transforming and running away, I too transformed and chased after her. I was not going to let her escape without any consequences.”

Lucien’s hand moved from Ronan’s back to his chest, and then settled on the side of Ronan’s neck.

“Did she intentionally run toward the Eternal Sleep Lake? Or did your fight carry the both of you in that direction by coincidence?”

Ronan hummed.

“I believe that she did want to go to the lake. Every time I brought her down and she got back on her feet, she rushed in the same direction over and over again.”

“Did she not try to resist anymore?”

Ronan shook his head.

“She knew that she was not going to win against me. Why bother?”

“So she was not trying to survive. Did she maybe plan to drown herself in the lake?”

Ronan pulled his lips into a thin line.

“Maybe? She knew that after her evil deeds are known to the whole society, she will be an outcast. She will never get her own funeral and go back to the Moon Goddess the way everyone else does.”

As he listened to Ronan’s words, Lucien was deep in thought.

The life of a werewolf was packed with challenges and adversities, but in the end, every werewolf wanted to be reborn as another werewolf.

That’s why they all wanted to return to the Moon Goddess and beg her for another chance at life.

“Do you think she should get a second chance as a werewolf?” Lucien asked his mate.

Ronan wrinkled his brows in displeasure.

“No,” he said while kneading at Lucien’s waist.

“Mmm.”

“Why?” Ronan prodded his mate. “Do you think she deserves a second chance?”

“She is somewhat pitiful,” Lucien admitted. “I feel sorry for her.”

“Don’t,” Ronan said. “She will not feel sorry for you if you died from the poison.”

Lucien smiled at his mate.

“I have you. She is all alone. It must be so lonely to live that way, scheming day after day and failing in the end.”

“Oh, Lulu.”

Ronan lowered his head and bit into Lucien’s nape.

“Ah...!”

Lucien furrowed his brows from the pain. An indescribable sensation ran through his body when Ronan’s pheromones entered his system again.

“You are too nice,” Ronan remarked once he had his fill.

Lucien chuckled. He spread his legs and wrapped them around Ronan’s waist, eliciting a hungry growl from the Alpha.

Ronan grabbed Lucien’s waist and rubbed their bodies together while plundering the latter’s mouth like a maniac.

Limbs entangled intimately, the two men gave into their desire and drowned in the sweet ecstasy of their passionate love for each other.

Their heavy making-out session was only interrupted by the sound of muffled moans that came from the adjacent ward.
