Flirting with the enemy

As Argon becomes increasingly worried I pick up my act, laying it on thick. I think of my mates, the worry they must be feeling, never seeing my grandparents again, the war this could all cause and start to really cry so I’m ready for when I lift up my head. I let myself wallow in the what ifs for a little while before I lift my tear stained face and meet the steely cold stare of Argon, only when I look into his eyes this time I see something I wasn’t expecting, worry maybe? But it’s gone as fast as it came. I know my face is puffy from crying. I’m glad I let myself take it a bit further; he really just sees me as a crying damsel in distress.

“Tell me Cierra, why the tears? Are you not happy?” I shake my head no and he cocks his head, his gaze still set on me and my puffy face.

“I bet you look so pathetic” Ersa says in my head, I can feel her pacing inside me. “I hope so I need him to believe us.” I snap at her. She knows the plan. Why must she act such a turd at the most important times?

“What is making you unhappy? Do you not like your room? Was the food not OK?” Argon questions.

I sniffle for effect and cover my face with my hands. “It’s not that, I just, I have been staring at these same walls for hours, that girl before she was mean to me, I’m just not used to that..you said... you said you wanted me but you just want to keep me locked up in here.” I say I can see him fighting with his wolf as his eyes darken and come back their usual steely grey. He goes to touch me and I flinch away knowing I have to continue to be mad at him too I can’t just fall in to his arms he will know it is a trap as surely he is not that stupid.

“My little lonely Luna, it is for your own good for now. I know those good for nothing Alpha mates you are still so very attached to will try to come after you and I know given the chance you will leave with them but you need to reject them and give in to your feelings for me.” He says.

“I feel so lonely and you, you are cruel to take me away from my fated mates only to keep me in here, you don’t even want me!” I say now pouting my plump lips at him and I can see him looking at them and licking his lips, lust in his eyes as I can only imagine he is thinking about what he would like to do with me. I have to keep mine and Ersas emotions at bay, hearing him talk about the twins like that makes us want to rip his head off.

He lets out a small growl at the mention of my mates and I make myself jump a little so he thinks he has startled me.

“I’m sorry little Luna, you are mine now. I don’t want to hear about those silly twins again, don’t worry your beautiful little self about them. Once I kill them and your mark has gone you will be with a real Alpha, I have to go now but I’ll come back later on if your so lonely i’ll have a desk put in here and I can work from here to keep you company but you are a flight risk and I’m not willing to lose you I have worked too hard to bring us together.” He finishes as he moves a strand of hair from my tear stricken face, he leans in to kiss me and I move away making his chest rumble with a growl. I square my shoulders and quickly recover. I don’t want to make him mad right now. We’re already on the right track here.

“Alpha, until you treat me like a Luna and not a prisoner I will not let you touch me.” I tell him keeping my features soft like a little broken woman. “Is that so little Luna?” He chuckles. I nod as he leans to me again and places a kiss on my head, the contact makes my skin burn but I push the feeling aside I need to play this right. “Then I had better move quickly hey? I can’t wait to feel you come undone for me.” And with that he turns and leaves. I hear his footsteps getting farther away, happy he already forgot to lock the door on his exit then a frown covers my face as I hear him coming back and the sound of the locks being turned and bolted. I hear him muttering as he walks away a second time but I don’t manage to catch any actual words.

A few hours must pass before I hear someone at the door again. “Sit on the bed and don’t move, I don’t want to have to hurt you but I will. We are bringing some supplies to your room as requested by the Alpha. Are you at the bed?” The male voice says authoritatively.

“I am, you can enter.” I replied to the voice sitting on the bed as instructed. The man comes in with another four men and tells them where to put the desk, the bigger TV and what looks like DVD’s and player, some books and a few other things I can’t tell but I’ll be sure to check out once they’ve gone.

“It won’t hurt to have the guards on our side either” Ersa purrs in my head.

I shift slightly so that my skirt exposes my thigh as I breathily thank one of the men that makes eye contact with me, the others turn at the sound of my voice and I can see them all checking me out. “You strong men had better leave before your Alpha comes back but I’m all lonely when he isn’t here, I wouldn’t mind some company from any of you at any point I’d love someone to talk to.” I flirt giving my best pouty lip and puppy dog eyes whilst pushing out my breasts, they all seem entranced but I hear heels clicking towards us snapping them out of their daze as they clear their throats and look at one another and begin to leave. They wait outside the door as the horrid woman from earlier walks in, eyeing them all and places a tray with a teapot and a silver dome on covering a plate of food. “Eat up Luna ″ She spits as she walks out and shuts the door. I hear the locks being replaced and the tell tale signs of her heels and other heavy feet following, two have probably stayed outside my door. I go to the tray arse hole woman just brought in and see what she has served. I don’t want to eat but I will need my strength to keep playing this role, poor little Luna huh, I’ll show these b*stards
