The Heartless Alpha's Beloved Luna Novel

Chapter 300 Gideon's POV "Have fun," one of the guards chuckled. He shoved the woman into my cage, sending her sprawling across the ground, then locked the door and left us there. Left me with her. The woman lifted her head, licking her lips. "You're a handsome one, aren't you?" she breathed. Her voice was like the tinkling of tiny bells. Soft and sweet. My wolf wanted to grab her by the neck and sink my teeth into her breast. He wanted me to take her. No. I pressed myself against the bars. This was not happening. This woman was not my mate. I would not have sex with her tonight.

This aphrodisiac wouldn't get the best of me. "Stay. Over. There." I had to grind each word out through clenched teeth. The woman just giggled and crawled closer, dragging herself through the dirt. "Aw, c'mon. It'll be fun. And it'll feel so good-" "Stay back," I growled. But my body wasn't listening. My hands were moving on their own, reaching for her. I could feel my control slipping. My wolf was taking over. "No!" I thought to him. "Not like this! She's not Avery!" "Does it matter? I want her. You want her. It would feel good, after all that torment." "I don't give a shit. This isn't you.

This isn't us!" Suddenly, I had an idea. I bit down hard on my own arm. My teeth sunk into my flesh. Pain exploded through me a moment later, just as the metallic taste of blood filled my mouth. The pain cut through the haze. My wolf recoiled, startled by the sudden jolt. I bit down harder, forcing myself to focus on the pain instead of the heat in my veins. Blood dripped down my arm now. I could feel it pooling around my feet. The woman leaned back on her heels, staring. "What are you doing?" she whispered. I didn't answer. I kept biting. Kept the pain fresh and raw. It was the only way.

1/3 Chapter 300 +25 Bonus Eventually, the aphrodisiac's effects began to fade. Not completely, but enough. Enough that I could think again. I released my arm and gasped, my head spinning. The woman had collapsed beside me at some point during all that, and was now laying there, unconscious from the drug. The aphrodisiac was making me sleepy, too. I tried to stay awake, but it was impossible. My eyes fluttered closed, and no matter how hard I tried to keep them open, I just couldn't. When I woke, it was morning. The sun was hot, the sound of buzzing flies a constant drone.

I heard laughter, too. Cruel whispers. I cracked my eyes open to find that the woman was still there, draped across me. And Avery was standing outside the cage, staring. Avery's POV I hated myself for the way I couldn't stop crying. I hated that I was sitting here in my tent, sobbing like a child while Gideon was out there with that woman. It shouldn't have bothered me. He already made it clear he couldn't tell me he loved. me. He'd betrayed me too many times to count. But why come here to rescue me if he was just going to sleep with the first rogue woman that entered his cage?

The tent flap opened, and Asher stepped inside. I quickly wiped my face, but it was too late. He'd already seen the tears. "Oh, poppet," he said softly. He crossed the tent and sat beside me on the bed. "I'm so sorry you had to see that." I turned away. "You know," Asher went on, placing a hand on my shoulder, "I tried to warn you about him. Men like Gideon don't know loyalty. They don't know how to cherish what they have. At the first opportunity, he betrayed you." "Maybe it wasn't what it looked like," I muttered. Asher tilted his head. "You saw how he was holding her, Avery.

You're not seriously that dense, are you?" 2/3 +25 Bonus I closed my eyes. I didn't want to think about it. Didn't want to see the image of them. together, tangled up in each other's arms. It had seemed awfully romantic. Close. Like the way lovers would hold one another.
