Page 9 of Reclaiming His Lost Mate (Secret Legacy #3)

“It’s over,” I said in a small, unrecognizable voice.

“They announced that their wedding is in two months, and I thought it wouldn’t hurt me since the rejection was long done, and I have come to terms with my position, but it s-still h-h-hurts,” I stammered, tears fast filling my eyes and sliding down my cheeks against my will.

“How am I supposed to live with the fact that the man who should love me will shower that affection on some woman while I become ‘the other woman’?” I asked through the tightness in my throat and chest, the tears streaking like a stream now.

Sireen’s eyes softened, hands coming up to guide me by my shoulders a few feet away.

“I am sorry, Selina,” Sireen’s sincere apology came, and I found a bit of solace in the fact that I at least got some sympathy.

“I can’t say I know what it feels like to be abandoned by the only person you want, but nobody should have to feel inadequate because of who they are.

” Glancing into the cool evening space around us, Sireen spoke. “I may know a way to help.”

My attention piqued, ears shooting up in alert, eyes widening immediately. I sniffed, asking. “You do?”

She replied with a small nod, and I hung onto every word and action that came next like it was my lifeline.

“I’ve heard of a witch…not a dark witch…

her name is Lyvia, and she knows of a ritual that can sever the bond between fated mates.

She can help you get rid of the pull you feel every time you think about your mate, and you can free yourself from the burden. ”

My heart truly sprung to life for the first time in weeks, thinking about how much easier things would be if I didn’t have the fated pull hovering over my every thought.

Alexis had no problem staying detached from me, so I was choosing to move on from him, too.

“How do I find her? Where…what do I need as a means of payment?” I asked all at once, unable to mask my thirst.

“No one really knows of her whereabouts, but the last time she was seen was two years ago in a small valley town called Matsuna. That was around the time when the Blood Moons and the Moonlights went to war again. She could still be there, or she could have left,” Sireen explained.

“But whichever one it is, you’ll be able to get information about her in Matsuna. ”

I knew what I wanted before I voiced it, so it didn’t bother me when I spoke. “I have to find her. How do I get there?”

“I have a guide,” Sireen said, and I swallowed, hoping that there would be a light at the end of this tunnel.

An hour later, the guide Sireen had given me was tucked in the small pocket of my old traveling bag. I had changed into more comfortable but protective layers of clothes, and the last of my belongings were shoved inside the bag.

I didn’t belong here anyway, so I knew for sure that my absence would not be missed. If anything, the lot would be relieved that I was finally out of their sights.

Just then, a rapid tapping on my cabin door startled me from my thoughts, and my blood ran cold in fear. No one ever came to look for me at my cabin…unless there was a problem.

“Who is it?” I called shakily, but I got no response, and my heart skipped a beat.

‘Could Father have found out that I was planning to leave?’ I thought, and the fear sent me panicking, causing me to scramble. I hid my bag out of plain sight, and I padded the living room to the door, smothering the invisible lint off my pants.

Pulling the door open, my breath hitched in my throat, just like it always did.

“Alexis?” I muttered in disbelief, taking in his short dark hair that was tousled now, his disheveled appearance contrasting with the sharpness I was used to. He stood there, eyes slightly glazed over. But even with Alexis’s state of untidiness, my body ignited. “What are you doing h…”

The words cut off from my lips as Alexis closed the space between us with speed.

He snaked his arms through my sides to my back, startling me as he pressed me flush against his chest, and his lips slammed on mine in an instant.

Tentatively at first, but it took only a few seconds of exploring his taste for the kiss to become frantic, heated, and sending me into overdrive.

The world instantly halted, and my brain shut off as I memorized the heat and hardness of his muscular body, his earthy and greeny scent, and the urgency of the kiss. My own hands came up to thread through his hair as goosebumps climbed up my arms and neck.

“Alexis, wh-what’s happening?” I pulled away, panting as I asked, shocked at the development.

Did he find out that I was leaving and have a change of heart?

Alexis spoke, looking in conflict with himself.

“I-I can’t stop thinking about you, Selina. I want you. Badly,” Alexis growled, and I drew in a small gasp of shock and joy. Or was it disbelief? I couldn’t tell, but I knew that my worries fell away at his admission.

There was no time to recover as he pressed his head down to my level, claiming my lips again.

“I’ve always wanted you,” Alexis groaned through the kiss in a loaded voice, and my brain swirled in my head, dizzying.

The door slammed shut, and Alexis slouched down, picking me up by my ass to straddle his narrow waist. I writhed and rocked against his skin, desperate for friction, deepening the kiss and moaning into Alexis’s throat.

I drew my breaths from him, sucking and running my tongue over his bottom lips while Alexis ravaged me, kissing me back with ferocity as he squeezed my ass with his palms like he was trying to milk me.

He broke the kiss for only a second, and the hooded look I saw in Alexis’s eyes made my muscles clench.

Goddess, I fucking wanted this.

Alexis resumed his mission to ruin me, sucking down my neck, and my head fell back in ecstasy as I felt dampness trickle out of me. His lips were sure to leave a mark with how delicious Alexis felt on my neck, but that only made it ten times hotter.

My wolf took over, claws replacing my fingers, and I tore at Alexis’s chest, wanting to see his skin. Needing to feel him raw.

Alexis did the same, ripping the clothes off my body with urgency, and when my rosy buds fell on display in front of his face, and he took one long look at me, chest rumbling in what I thought to be approval, I preened.

“Let me take care of you,” Alexis drawled right before he latched onto my left nipple, bringing the right palm to tease the right as his free hand held me in place.

My eyes rolled back, a needy moan tumbling from the back of my throat, and I rocked against the stabbing erection through Alexis’s suit pants.

“I want you now,” I whimpered, wanting to feel him inside me.

“Not before I have a taste of what has been keeping me up for weeks, Selina,” he said with a twinkle in his eyes after releasing my rock-hard nipple with a pop.

Alexis shuffled till we were in my room, and he dropped me down on the bed like I was a fragile egg needing utmost attention, peppering soft kisses on the sides of my eyes, lips, chin, down my neck, and along my collarbone.

My eyes fell closed, eyes burning with happy tears, and I almost chuckled out loud. When my eyes opened again, the softness was gone from Alexis’s eyes, and all that was left now was raw carnal lust.

Fuck!

The rest of our clothes fell away, and my heartbeat ran over itself on taking in Alexis’s naked body.

“You are devastatingly gorgeous, Selina,” Alexis murmured, stealing the words that were on the tip of my tongue to say to him, and my heart swelled.

Before I could speak, Alexis knelt in front of me, holding onto the back of my knees, and dragging me up till my pussy was hovering directly above his face, and he latched onto my clit with a soft growl, sucking, licking, slurping, and drinking from me like a man just released from a desert.

My back shot up from the bed, my eyes recoiling in their sockets, and I held on to the sheets for dear life, whimpering many versions of Alexis’s name as I exploded within seconds, vibrating like a power generator.

Alexis was on me in an instant, face bright and smeared with my juices, and I kissed him long and hard. His thick cock was lining my pussy now, and I held my breath.

“I want to feel you squeezing down on me, milking me dry over and over again, Selina. You understand me?” He demanded as his cock stretched my pussy open, pushing in inch by inch, filling me up so that I could only expel a soundless gasp.

Oh. My. Fucking. Heavens!

Alexis groaned through his clenched teeth, shutting his eyes to adjust himself to my pussy clamped around his length, and my hands came up to feel the goosebumps on his chest.

Fuck it if I thought this couldn’t get even hotter.

“Fuck me, Alexis,” I begged, and bedlam broke out with that as Alexis fucked me with reckless abandon, wreaking delicious havoc on my body, soul, and spirit, pounding me against the bed into oblivion.

My fingers dug into his shoulder and bicep, breaking the skin and drawing blood, but that only fueled Alexis as he fucked me hard, deep, and devastating.

“Not letting you out of my sight, Selina. Not letting you out of my head,” he grunted, adjusting his thrust so that his cock dragged over my most sensitive tissues, and the feeling rushed through me without warning, my orgasm sending me into disarray with a choked cry of his name.

Alexis came right behind me, squeezing my waist and pouring his groan down my throat as he kissed me with purpose.

“Good girl for keeping my name on those lips when you came,” he praised, I chuckled, muscles turning into jelly as I closed my eyes in exhaustion before sleep pulled me under.
