The Alpha’s Borrowed Luna
Chapter 219
His blood flooded my mouth, rich and life–giving. The taste was indescribable–sweetness and strength and something uniquely Kaius. I drank slowly, forcing myself to take small sips rather than greedy gulps, mindful of Frost’s watchful presence.
When I felt I’d taken enough, I pulled away, licking the puncture wounds to seal them as I’d instinctively done before. An unfamiliar sense of power surged through me, filling the emptiness left by the demon’s removal.
“Well, that didn’t go very bad,” Frost remarked, his tone deliberately light.
I wiped my mouth with the back of my hand, surprised by the sense of control I’d maintained. “Kieran was right, I do have some
control over the bloodlust.”
“At least that counts as the single truth he told,” Kaius muttered, rolling down his sleeve to cover the already healing puncture
marks.
Frost moved toward the door, his task as guardian, apparently completed to his satisfaction. I need to go; you’ve got her?”
Kaius nodded, and Frost slipped out, leaving us alone in the sudden quiet of the room. The awkwardness of our situation–me in the bed, having just drunk his blood, the weeks of separation and hurt between us–seemed to fill the space he’d left behind.
“Thank you,” I said softly, breaking the silence.
Kaius looked surprised. “For what?”
“Everything.” I hesitated, gathering my thoughts. “I had behaved so foolishly; I wonder why in the world I thought to protect that thing.”
“It is not exactly your fault; you seem to really want a child,” he said, his voice gentle with understanding.
The words struck a chord deep within me. Yes, I had wanted a child–wanted one badly enough to convince myself that the demon growing inside me was something to cherish rather than fear.
“Kaius, I think we should… forget everything that happened in the past and move on. I just don’t want to w you, because I know, despite everything, I still love you and will always feel that way.” The confession came exchange had broken down the final barriers between us.
He was quiet for a long moment, his amber eyes studying my face as if searching for something. “I love you too.”
the time I have with
ly, as if the blood
The words were simple, but they filled me with a warmth that had nothing to do with the blood I’d just consumed. I leaned forward, closing the distance between us, and pressed my lips to his. The kiss was gentle at first, tentative, but deepened quickly as years of history and longing surged between us.
When we parted, I felt almost shy. “I’m sorry, I guess that was too fast…”
“No. I just want to make sure you really want this; you just fed; that could have triggered the need. His concern was touching, if unnecessary.
“Is not that. I do really want to kiss you, and I’ve wanted this for a long, long time,” I assured him, reaching for his hand,
A mischievous glint appeared in his eyes. “I know you still fantasize about threesomes.”
“Kaius!” I sputtered, heat rushing to my cheeks. “I don’t…”
“You don’t need to lie; I know what you want,” he teased, though there was something odd in his expression–almost as if he was

referencing a private joke I wasn’t in on. “I guess I could return you back to your room now.”
“Our room, you mean?” I asked, surprised by my own boldness.
The spark of hope in his eyes was unmistakable. “If that’s what you want.”
“You still left my clothes in there?” I asked, suddenly unsure.
“Of course, I knew you would need them when you came back.”
The simple statement caught me off guard. “So you did believe I would come back.”
“Yes, I did believe you would come back, and I was ready fo do anything, even if it meant getting on my knees and begging for your forgiveness like some pathetic, love sick puppy.” The vulnerability in his admission touched something deep inside me.
“I’m sorry, I was just so angry.” I had been–angry enough to leave, to make a bargain with Kieran that had nearly cost me my life.
“It’s in the past now.” He helped me from the bed, his arm around my waist supporting me as I stood on unsteady legs. “Can you
walk?”
“I think so.” My strength was returning rapidly, Kaius’s blood working through my system like a powerful medicine.
The journey to our old chambers was slow but steady. Walking through the familiar corridors of Ravenhollow felt strangely like coming home.
When Kaius opened the door to our room, I was struck by how unchanged it was. My clothes still hung in the wardrobe, my books still stacked by the, bedside, everything preserved as if awaiting my return. Even the scent was familiar–a mixture of Kaius’s pine- and–winter smell and the lavender sachets I’d always kept in the drawers.
“They are all yours, and you are free to do as you like with it,” Kaius said, watching me take in the room.
“What?” I asked, confused by his sudden formality.
His answer came in the form of a kiss, deeper and more demanding than our earlier one. I melted agains” and longing crashing over us both as he lifted me effortlessly, carrying me to the bed we’d once shared.
weeks of separation
His hands abandoned any pretense of gentle rediscovery, focusing instead with primal intent. They roamed possessively, skating over my breasts before sliding down to my lower belly, fingers pressing and stroking relentlessly up and down. The blood I’d taken from him sang in my veins, magnifying every nerve ending, turning is touch from mere pleasure into an unbearable, addictive friction I couldn’t get enough of.
Caught in the escalating frenzy, I hooked my thumbs into the waistband of my pants, shoving them and my underwear down my legs and kicking them away. My own hand found his, guiding his questing fingers down between my thighs, pressing them against my entrance. I was slick and intensely hot there, throbbing for him.
He seemed to catch fire from my heat, a low growl rumbling in his chest as he freed his thick, hard length. There was no hesitation, no gentle preamble. He drove into me, a single, powerful thrust that filled me completely.
The heady rush from the blood fused violently with the raw friction of sex, creating a dizzying, ecstatic sensation that made me feel utterly weightless, consumed by pure physical bliss. We fell into a hard, driving rhythm, hundreds of thrusts blurring together. Lost in the haze of sensation, my mind conjured a startling fantasy – the mage of Frost’s cock filling my mouth. The thought, sharp and forbidden, only heightened the feeling. Clenching my inner muscles tightly around Kaius, gripping his shaft with demanding pressure, I felt him shudder violently above me. A guttural sound escaped him as he spilled his release deep inside my core.
Afterward, he pulled out and moved away almost immediately, beginning to gather his clothes and dress.

“I need to go to work, Kaius said eventually, his fingers tracing patterns on my bare shoulder.
“I don’t know… coming with you,‘ I suggested, reluctant to be separated so soon after our reunion.
He pressed a kiss to my forehead. “You need to rest, okay?”
I wanted to protest, but exhaustion was beginning to creep over me despite the strength his blood had given me.
“Okay, I agreed sleepily. “But come back soon.”
“Always,” he promised, pulling the covers over me as he rose.
