The Unclaimed Human Luna
Chapter 8

Conner

What the f**k, had he done? He knew better than to freaking f**k a human girl. Let alone his bloody stepsister, and he knew the minute he’d taken her she was a bloody virgin. He didn’t do that either. No humans, no virgins, they were his rules. Made them himself.

But letting himself into her room last night, with that key card, to see if she was in there or out in the pack somewhere, he had found her smell of arousal all around him. Had seen her laying over there on her bed all pent up and getting ready to o****m, had more than turned him on. Found himself hard in less than a second.

Hadn’t even thought about it, had just walked on over there and assisted her. How could he not? She was practically already there, and he had damn near been drowning in the waves of arousal coming off Eliza. Even Atlas was sitting up inside his mind. Had snorted right at him, he seemed fully amused by Conners sudden need to touch the girl, k**s the girl and goddess be damned she had tasted so freaking sweet to him.

He’d lost all control of himself and he knew it, the girl smelled like vanilla and jasmine and her lips tasted like sweet strawberries. Couldn’t bloody get enough of tasting her, bloody ravaged her sweet p***y. Hearing her call out his name only turned him on even more. A part of him knew he was going to get his release tonight with her. f**k, he’d not c*m in nearly six months, and everything about touching this girl had his c**k twitching and aching so badly to be inside of her.

Knew he shouldn’t but just couldn’t stop, not even when he’d taken her and realised she was pure, felt her hymen break and smelled the scent of fresh b***d as he’d paused, it was too bloody late then and he knew it. He couldn’t stop what was about to happen. If he was honest with himself, he hadn’t bloody wanted to.

Needed a release and was going to have it, she was going to give it to him and she did, she was so freaking tight around him, took all of him, every damn inch of him. f**k it had been amazing and to hear her enjoy it only hardened him even more. Couldn’t stop touching her, told her he needed more and he did. Had gotten his release, felt himself c*m damn hard inside of her. But needed more, wanted more of her.

Wanted to hear that scream he knew was in there, was bloody music to his ears, everything about her was arousing everything in him. He’d never felt like that with anyone before, heard Atlas chuff at him as he lay there on the bed next to her, his wolf wanted to look at her, and he’d realised in that one moment.

It wasn’t just him, Atlas had watched on enjoying it. He was damned glad when his alarm for training went off. It couldn’t be! He’d left that room in a bloody hurry. Stepped out into the corridor and felt like the air in the hallway smacked him right in the face, her sent was gone and normal air was like a solid wall, bringing him back to reality. ‘I will not be Mated to a human.’ He shot at Atlas.

Heard his wolf snort at him ‘A mate is a mate.’

‘I will not claim a human as my Mate.’ He shot right back and yanked his pants on and headed for his room to shower and get her scent off of him. He couldn’t let any of his unit know he’d been with her, he certainly didn’t want his father or her mother knowing for that bloody matter.

He was not going to be here for the full moon, he would get the hell out of this pack and go and hunt a she-wolf mate in another pack. He was not going to be mated to a weak human girl. Her mother had not turned, she would not. Didn’t have the genes to do so. Got snarled at by Atlas, for his thought of not being there on the full moon.

‘She is not our Mate Atlas, just a human that we caught f*****g herself, and helped out.’ He snarled at his wolf. Who stalked off to the back of his mind. It couldn’t be true, the goddess wouldn’t do that to him, she made him, created him, knew he would never want a human for a mate. So, it wasn’t that, he’d simply been caught off guard by what he’d seen her doing to herself.

He did like to watch girls go to town on themselves. It was part of his thing, that’s why Emma and he were good together. She enjoyed being watched and he enjoyed watching her. He had to get that bloody human girl away from him. Make her stay the hell away from him and go replace his actual Mate.

Beat the hell out of everyone at training, though it was just him. Atlas was still ticked off with him, refused to assist in anyway, all his unit got hits into him today, and when Adam cracked him right in the jaw, he laughed “What’s going on Conner?” they were all looking at him.

“Atlas is ticked off and refusing to play.”

“What’d you do to him?”

“Nothing.” He muttered “Is just ticked off about not having a mate I guess.”

“Isn’t that normal?”

“Yes.” He’d muttered.

They’d trained and he’d showered again, gotten ready for the day and gone down to breakfast, saw Eliza walk into the dining room with his father and her mother, and nearly snarled at the girl. If she had told her mother he was going to put a beat down on her so bad. She looked right at him and smiled a little. This was the first time she’d come out of her room in a bloody week, and he knew why, was here to see him. That small smile said it all.

Sat there and just raised an eyebrow at her, then dismissed her. She would get the message for sure, it was just a one-off thing. He could feel her eyes on him more than once over breakfast and knew it wasn’t over. The message was not clear. ‘This is why you don’t do virgins.’ He told himself, they get clinging and expect the world from you.

Left that dining room and snagged the first she-wolf he came across, pulled her right up against him and smiled down at her, could feel Atlas snarling inside his mind at the she-wolf. Slid his arms around her and asked her if she wanted to make out. Not something he would ever normally do. He’d had s*x with this one before somewhere in the last few years, couldn’t recall when. She smiled up at him.

He was listening for Eliza, knew that girl was going to hunt him down to try and talk to him. He was not wrong either, heard her coming and saw her look right at him, complete shock on her face, looked right at her and then just leaned down and kissed the she-wolf in his arms, felt her melt all into him, heard Eliza hurry off and flicked his eyes at her, going back to her room.

Well, he hoped she bloody stayed in there forever and never came out. Put that she-wolf away from him and said “Thanks.” She blinked as he turned and walked away.

“Well, that was new Conner.” It was Adam. “Is there a reason for your sudden change of ways?”

“Not particularly. I just thought I’d try what you said.”

“And?”

“And nothing, not a damn bit of interest in that.” He muttered.

But he had done everything Adam had told him he should do with a she-wolf to Eliza, touched her and tasted her, and she’d not only pleased him, had sated him twice. There was no proof she was his Mate, could not scent her. She was not his Mate. No human would be his Mate ever.

Walked into his father’s office to have that meeting he’d been talking about, wanted to increase border patrols to make sure Eliza didn’t get out, needed Conner and his unit to go out tonight and test the packs boundaries. No biggie, and if he was honest with himself, he wanted away from the pack-house right this minute.

He turned at the sound of a light knock on his father’s office door, and his eyes fell on Eliza standing there all dressed up. Her midriff was bare for all to see. He didn’t like that at all. He slid his eyes over her, was wearing heeled boots and that soft green cashmere looked amazing with her olive skin and black hair all splayed about her shoulders.

She was all made up with make-up and those silver-grey eyes of hers landed right on him, then just dismissed him, like he had done her, and he got it. She was trying to annoy him with how she was dressed, how little did she know him. That was not going to work on him. He didn’t care she was human, and he was not interested in her.

He was nearly blinded by that smile as she smiled at his father, saw her eyes shine with it and really wanted to punch the man for making her smile at him like that. Could feel Atlas getting angry that she wouldn’t smile at them like that. This was going to be a nightmare. ‘Not our mate, contain yourself.’

She really did have some guts, was going to stay for the summer just to watch him and her mother, look for signs of spousal abuse and report the man to the police. She was like a dog with a bone, that one bruise to herself, seeing his father’s temper. Sparked something in the girl, something protective, and she didn’t seem to care that her words were going to tick his father off. Wondered if she wanted him to get ticked off and hurt her. Repeated his words right back to him, a full challenge to an Alpha Wolf, only she had no idea he was one.

Conner had never seen a human stand up to an Alpha Wolf before. She smiled at his father the whole time, kept her tone light and normal, but the threat that was relayed was not to be taken lightly.

Nearly snarled at the girl for stating she ‘was not interested in him coming to replace her for anything.’ Knew she was making a loud and clear statement to him about staying away from her, and it angered Atlas to hear her say those words, if she had been his Mate but didn’t know it that could well have been a full rejection of him. His wolf didn’t like it.

Angered Conner more than a little as well. He was the alpha wolf and she was telling him she didn’t want him, he could have any damn one he wanted, including her. Watched her walk away with a full bounce in her step, glared right at her as her h**s swayed more than normal. She didn’t look back, not once, and that annoyed him too.

Stood up before he knew what he was doing, wanted to go and put her right in her place. If he bloody wanted her he would bloody have her, she couldn’t tell him no.

“Conner?” It was his father’s voice that snapped him right out of his need to go and wring the girl’s bloody neck, turned and looked at him.

“You’ll watch her in town, yes?”

“I think she is more than capable of going to the bank and back.”

“But you and the boys will be going anyway. Just keep an eye on her, would you?”

Glared at the man for a long minute and saw him raise an eyebrow at him. “Fine, but watching a human in the human world will show your rivals your weakness. You should ignore the girl and let her go about her human life. They’d be none the wiser, is not in a pack car. They won’t know who she is or where she came from.”

“Hmm, that might be a good idea. Well, at least just drive by, for me. Don’t interfere or interact.”

“Fine.” He muttered.

They went back to the meeting side of things, and he forced his attention off of the bloody girl, that was making him angry, making his wolf annoyed with him.

He let Adam drive as he sat and stared out the window. The car was quiet. They all knew he was ticked off about something, likely to feel it in the air around them. “Conner, your father is right, she’s only human and will need protecting. We don’t even know if the girl knows how to fight. If she is attacked.”

“Is human, not my problem. I didn’t want her here, voiced as much.” And he had “Now I’m dumped with protecting the girl.”

“Doesn’t take much, stays in her room.” Adam murmured.

“I don’t care, as far as I’m concerned, she can go back to California and stay there.”

“She’s your stepsister now Conner, can’t you cut her some slack?”

“No, having a human in the pack that knows nothing hinders us all. It’s annoying, and I don’t think father ever has any intention of telling her either.”

“He will, will have to at some point.”

“He’s canned all the foreseeable Mating balls. He’s not about to do it anytime soon.” Conner muttered.

Heard all of them sigh now, none of them had Mates yet. “We can still go to other packs.” Brayden offered up.

“All the invites are from packs we’re allied to. I checked. There would be a handful of newly turned 18-year-old she-wolves in any of those packs.” He sighed heavily “We’ve all been to those packs before.”

“Well, we could strike out and meet a few at other campuses.” Adam sighed.

“We could,” Conner agreed “I’ll see who I can reach out to and see what packs are having packs we’re not affiliated with coming to balls. That should help.”

“See, we’re not down and out yet.”

“No, we are not. I will replace a bloody she-wolf Mate, if it kills me.” He muttered and heard the three of them laugh. They had no idea just how serious he was. He was not going to be inside their pack come the full moon. Not for one bloody second of it.

They saw her car parked on the street near a bank and he used his wolf’s sight to see if she was in there, was not. That was interesting. “Not in the bank,” He muttered.

“Down the street.” Adam pointed.

Eliza was strolling along the street towards them texting on her phone. He watched her actually chuckle and then saw a man bump right into her on purpose, could only see the back of him, but he was dressed in the latest fashion, expensive clothes. Felt Atlas snarl inside his mind as that man’s hand slipped to Eliza’s h*p as if to steady her, his thumb resting on her bare skin.

His jaw tightened as she gasped and apologised for not looking where she was going, thinking she was in the wrong, when it was the man himself. Watched her brush his hand away from her h*p and heard the man ask if she was here to meet someone. Wound his window down to smell him, he was human. Saw her smile at him and apologised again, told him she had an appointment to attend.

Watched that man give her his business card and introduced himself as Milton Valentine. Just bloody great one of the local rich boys, Milton was just on 19 and he was a smooth-talking ladies’ man, set to inherit quite a sum of money when his grandfather passed. Millions, in fact, saw her smile and nod thank you. Then she turned to walk away.

He saw Milton’s hand curl around her forearm and a low growl got ripped out of him before he could stop it. He felt the car stop as his hand was on the door handle and got out of the car. Atlas was making him get out whether the car was stopped or still moving, for he was furious.

“Don’t do anything stupid Conner.” Adam shot at him.

Everyone in the car knew he and Milton did not get along. The man, though only 19, was not dumb, was in their double major, had started uni at just 15, was very bright and the girls flocked to him as much as they did Conner. Only Conner didn’t fraternise with humans. Saw Eliza turn to look at Milton and that man put his hand right on her face.

“You have the most stunning eyes I’ve ever seen.” He told her, full of charm today, it seemed. He was barely containing Atlas now, he was not handling this man touching what he thought was his, or wanted to be his. Who the hell knew which it was.

“Thank you, I got them from my father.” She smiled at him.

“Milton, take your filthy hands off my stepsister.” He snarled right at him and saw that man look right at him, a little surprised by his sudden appearance.

Then back to Eliza, “I didn’t know you had a stepsister. Isn’t she lovely?” He practically drawled the last three words. His hand fell away from her face, Milton knew better than to tick Conner off.

“And off limits to the likes of you.”

“Me?” Milton laughed. “I’m a perfect gentleman.”

“Bullshit, a man w***e is what you are.” He heard the gravel to his own words, it was Atlas insulting the man, not Conner. It was Atlas’s way of telling Eliza he was garbage and to stay away from him. Seeing as he couldn’t show himself to her. His bloody wolf was interfering.

He reached his hand out to grab Eliza’s arm only to have her step further away, looked at the empty space in his hand where her arm should have been and then looked right at her expecting and explanation. No one walked away from him.

“Well, I’d say you’re both assholes then.” She stated, flicked Milton’s card at him and walked around him and off down the street, away from both of them. He wasn’t mad at her attitude towards him because she’d rid herself of Milton’s card and phone number and walked away from him.

“She’s got you pegged, hasn’t she, Conner? You are an a*****e.” Milton shot at him.

“Why, because I wouldn’t do your sister, and she lied about what happened and now has a reputation as a lying b***h. Because she got caught out in that lie.”

Saw Milton’s eyes fill with anger and then he just turned and walked away. “I like your stepsister, she’s pretty.” He shot over his shoulder.

“Stay the hell away from her.” He snarled right back and turned to see where Eliza had gone, was just walking into the bank. Didn’t like it one little bit, that man was going to be trouble, especially now that he knew Eliza was related to him.

Their two families did not get along at all, not after his sister Vivian tried to claim he’d forced himself on her. Lucky for him, the club she’d been at, trying to get him to do her in, was owned by the pack. Had cameras everywhere.

Ms. Vivian had claimed he dragged her into a VIP room and made her do unspeakable things to him and then he’d f****d her against her will. What the camera’s showed was that he’d turned her down at every opportunity and then had her kicked out of the club after she dared to run a hand down his pants in an attempt to entice him.

He’d not taken kindly to it, knew she wanted him, she had told him they would make a great power couple. What she didn’t understand was that he would never take a human into his world. Make her his Luna and that her touch had been vile to him. Though he had proven his innocence easily enough, he had been arrested for it till it was cleared up.

Now their two families did not coexist very well at all, they’d had a business alliance up until that point, and though Vivian had been sent abroad as punishment by her grandfather for her behaviour and accusations. Which his father had splashed all over the news here, ruining her reputation as the sweet innocent heiress she portrayed herself as. His father had also severed all ties with their company here in Logan. The Valentines had lost millions because of Vivian.

He walked back to the car and got in, “He’s going to be trouble.”

“Didn’t seem like she liked him to me,” Adam commented.

“I don’t think that will matter to him, now he knows she’s my stepsister.”

“Might want to tell your father that one. Put a proper tail on him, if you think he’s of concern.”

“Probably a very good idea.” He agreed.

His car didn’t move from the street until Milton was in his car and had driven away. Then they headed off to the university for the day. He saw Milton’s car in its usual spot and saw him in class as well. At least he wasn’t out there trying to get to Eliza.
