Rise of the She-Wolf

Vanessa’s pov,

I took a last glance in the small bathroom mirror of the airplane and smiled to myself feeling satisfied. I would definitely turn some heads at the party tonight and that was exactly what I wanted. I needed everyone to notice me playing the perfect Luna. I walked out of the bathroom, toward Colin who was calmly drinking a whisky and looking out the window. His gaze immediately fell on me when I entered the cabin and his eyes almost popped out of their sockets. I turned around letting the shimmering ruby-red fabric of my dress follow my movements. The top part of the dress was tight with a low cleavage cut out in the middle and the lower part was tight around my hips but became looser around my legs. On my right side, there was a big split all the way to my upper outer thigh. I put on the same color of lipstick and my hair was in a fancy updo with some locks out to frame my face.

“How do I look?”, I asked innocently.

Colin coughed, “Drop-dead gorgeous. That color suits you well.”

I grinned mischievously, “Thank you, I thought the color of blood would be fitting.”

Colin shook his head in disbelief and said, “I hope you know what you are doing Vanessa. We really have to sell it tonight that we are mated and that you are my Luna. You can’t avoid me or show any signs that you can’t stand to be near me.”

I walked closer until I stood next to his chair and softly let my hands go through his short hair. I stared at the blond locks going through my red-painted fingernails and all I wanted to do was grab his hair, pull his face backward, and kiss him. His manly scent with a hint of cinnamon clouded my mind for a moment before I came back to my senses and said, “Don’t worry about me I can put up a show.”

Colin leaned into my touch with closed eyes until I spoke, and he abruptly stood up, “Good for you. I need to get dressed as well.”

Spirit groaned, “You are such an idiot Vanessa. We both know you don’t need to put up a show because every bone in your body wants to be with him.”

I stubbornly mumbled back, “He doesn’t need to know that.”Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Spirit just sighed and for the rest of the flight, Colin was very silent. I tried to not stare at him the whole time but damn he looked delicious in that suit. It was a 3-piece suit in the same color as my dress, it gave him almost a regal look. He definitely looked like an Alpha.

After what seemed to be forever, we finally arrived in Russia. As soon as the doors opened Colin grabbed my waist possessively while we walked out. I looked up at him with full adoration in my eyes like I was the luckiest girl in the world. During the car drive, Colin had his hand on my bare leg and it made me feel like my skin was on fire. Not in a bad way but in an I want to rip your clothes off kind of way. However, I was determined to play my part and not show him how just a light touch could send a shiver down my spine. So, I leaned closer to him and softly kissed his neck. Colin just smiled like this happened all the time, but I knew he felt like I did because his neck hairs went utterly stiff.

They drove us to a place that looked like it came straight out of a fairytale. Snowflakes fell down the sky as I gazed upon the big Russian castle that seemed to be embraided with gold. The place was swirling with cars and people, some even more beautiful than others. I grabbed Colin’s hand firmly when we walked into the palace, afraid to get lost in the chaos. The inside was even more beautiful with artwork, chandeliers, and gold everywhere. Everywhere we came people seemed to stare at us and whisper, it felt weird that everyone seemed to know me, but I knew no one.

“let’s dance,” Colin whispered in my ear before leading me to the dancefloor.

Of course, I let him lead today and he swirled me over the dancefloor like a real professional. I had to admit I was happy Colin was there, I felt safe in his arms.

“Don’t react but Alpha Vlad is coming toward us,” Colin said.

When he swirled me around, I saw a man approaching us. He was not tall but still intimidating by the mean look in his eyes. I could see in his cold blue eyes that he would kill anyone in an instant without having a second thought about it. I wanted to run to him and rip his throat out so badly, but for now, I had to be patient and play my part.

“Colin, you made it,” Vlad said while he clapped Colin on his shoulder. His gaze shifted to me, and he asked, “Are you not going to introduce me to your lovely lady?”

It was funny that he pretended he had no idea who I was. But two could play that game so I lowered my head in a respectful nod before looking into his eyes and offering my hand.

“My name is Vanessa, Alpha Vlad. Thank you for inviting me to your lovely party.”

Vlad kissed my hand which made me want to puke but I just smiled shyly as he stared into my eyes intensely before turning his attention back to Colin.

“I can see why you are so smitten with her Colin. She is an extraordinary beauty indeed. You have to tell me how you managed to take this one.”

Colin wrapped his arm around me and pulled me close, he winked at Vlad, “Can’t tell you all my secrets mate. Otherwise, you would leave no women for the rest of us.”

Vlad burst out laughing and then in an instant stopped and turned back to me which confirmed that he was a psychopath. “So, Vanessa you must be relieved that you don’t have to lead 2 packs anymore. Must be exhausting for a woman and especially when they all just moved.”

I felt Colin tense up because we had not talked about my decision to move my packs. I squeezed his side in reassurance and said to Vlad, “Yes, I am glad both packs are now in one place that way it will be easier for their new Alpha, Colin to control them from a distance.”

I looked up at Colin when I continued, “He has such a brilliant mind. I would have never been able to strategize that way. Luckily now I became Luna I will have time to focus on more important matters.”

Colin’s body relaxed a bit and Vlad seemed pleased with my answer. Without asking he put his hand on my belly and said, “Indeed like making pups. Do you guys have any happy news to share yet?”

My cheeks flushed from his audacity, and I saw Colin’s jaw tense up from anger. So, I quickly responded, “Not yet I am afraid.”

Vlad gave Colin a light push and said, “Better get to work then. My palace knows some private dark corners if you need them.”

He then waltzed away and went to the side of the dancefloor to talk to someone else. But while he was talking his eyes were still fixed on us. I looked at Colin in confusion, “What does he want?”

Colin’s eyes twinkled, “I think his instructions were quite clear. He wants to see that we are so in love that we can’t keep our hands off each other.”

He took my hand and pulled me from the dancefloor, leading me all the way behind the buffet and into a dark corridor where they had placed extra chairs. I leaned against the wall trying to calm down my thoughts from meeting Vlad for the first time. I assumed we were just going to pretend like we had sex, so I had not even noticed that Colin went onto his knees until I felt his head going between my legs.

“What are you doing?” I wanted to scream but the words got lost in my throat when he ripped my underwear to the side with his teeth and tasted me. Every nerve in my body seemed to explode when I felt his warm tongue entering my private parts and all my thoughts disappeared. All I could think of was his head between my legs and I knew there was no way I could control myself this time.

He stroked and circled my clit with an eagerness like he could taste me all day. And damn he knew what he was doing because I never experienced a feeling so delicious and exhilarating as this. I couldn’t control my hips from rolling with every stroke of his tongue, trying to get even closer. Desire burned through my whole body and the pressure became more unbearable with the minute. My thighs started trembling around his head when I was about to come. Just when I wanted to scream out his name he pulled back.

“Don’t stop,” I whimpered.

Colin looked deep into my eyes and asked in a challenging tone, “Thought you did not want me?”

He then walked away without even glancing back at me, leaving me throbbing and angry. “What the fuck just happened?” I asked Spirit.

“I think he is giving you a taste of your own medicine,” she growled back.

“Ow, the fuck he is,” I said fuming before putting my underwear back in place and storming out of the corridor. Ready to give that teasing fuck a piece of my mind.

Instead, I bumped into Vlad while my cheeks were still flaming red, and my messy hair made it clear what I had been doing. His eyes went over my face, and he was clearly amused when he chuckled, “It is good to see that Colin has made you so obedient in a short amount of time. You made the right choice Vanessa. You give me hope for other females.”

Oh, how much I wanted to slap that smug smile off his face but all in good time. So, for now, I just smiled politely before excusing myself. Right now, my mission was finding that Irish shitsack of a mate. And as soon as I would be alone with him, I would remind him who was boss.
