The Perfect Luna by Marissa Gilbert

Chapter 32. The Attack

When Gideon woke up, he found himself holding Riannon in his hands. And although it was the best feeling in the world, having his mate so close, so tight… There were parts of him that

were in pain. Literally.

He wanted her. Badly. And there was no denying that. His hardness was poking at her

back and all he wanted was to roll her and relieve her of her flimsy nightgown that left little to the imagination anyway.

But he knew that this was not the way. Not in their situation.

His wolf, Hawk, was going crazy inside of him, begging to claim their mate.

“She is ours,” he chanted, “What are you waiting for?”

“She doesn’t know it yet,” Gideon had to brush him off, “We can’t just take her. It doesn’t

work like that with humans. If her wolf was around, it would be easier.”

“Her wolf is there,” Hawk snarled, “She doesn’t respond to me. But I can feel her.”

“Well, that’s it then. Until she doesn’t respond, there is nothing we can do,(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)” the king wanted to close the subject but he could feel his beast trying to push him away to gain control.

He knew very well how lycans were. His primal instincts would take over and he would do something stupid. Something that he would never be able to take back.

No, Gideon couldn’t afford that. He was ready to do anything to protect Riannon.

So, he placed one little soft kiss on her shoulder, savouring the moment and then tore himself off her and left the bedroom as soon as he could, locking the door between the

adjacent rooms.

He calmed down a bit after a very cold shower, still listening to his wolf’s bickering.

But when she came to see him in the morning, he had a hard time concentrating on

anything. He knew that if he allowed himself to look at her more, he would simply throw her on his desk and do all the things he wanted to do since the moment he saw her in that lake. Hawk was howling inside, begging him to submit to their desires. The wolf couldn’t understand that

Ria was simply not ready for all that. That without her wolf it will be looked at as aggression and not love. He tried to reason with him. But one couldn’t really reason with a beast.

He knew they had to talk and he knew that he couldn’t hide the fact that she was his

mate from her much longer. But thanks to his proactive sister today wasn’t the day. Too many people were around thanks to the White party. And as their king, he had obligations to talk to most of them.

So, the best course of action was to avoid Riannon at all times until they could do
