CHAPTER 16 : THE MATING BALL (PART 3)
Jace and Draco stood in front of Alex and Luna. “Let’s go dance” Jace spoke as he dragged Alex away
while Draco smiled at Luna while he walked with her.
Luna saw Alex getting dragged away which made her giggle when she noticed Draco standing behind
her as her face turned red in embarrassment.
Luna hoped that Draco doesn’t ask her for the dance as she had no clue about the ballroom dance
because she was never interested in these types of things plus, she was afraid of the fact that she
would make a fool out of herself in front of all the guests who held importance according to her.
Draco noticed Luna’s dress as he smirked eyeing her up and down. ‘Annoying dress’ Luna thought as
she rolled her eyes making Draco laugh as he read her thoughts which annoyed Luna a lot.
Draco rested his hand on Luna’s bottom as she groaned annoyed while she pushed his hand away.
“Would you stop doing that? People are looking and it’s embarrassing” Luna whispered making Draco
laugh as he shook his head.
“No one is staring” Draco whispered back in Luna’s ear as he rested his hand on Luna’s bottom again
while her face turned red.
“Stop flirting and being a bad boy. People cans seriously see” Luna spoke through gritted teeth as she
pulled Draco’s hand and held it tight this time.
“So, you are saying that I can do this or whatever I want when we are alone” Draco spoke as Luna said
“Yes...Yes” without thinking or listening carefully which made Draco smirk and Luna realize what he just
meant.
“T-This is not what I meant...I mean uh...” Luna stuttered out with her face flushed red as she averted
her eyes which made Draco smile.
“Well, my love, I took that as a yes” Draco chuckled out as he wrapped his arm around Luna’s shoulder
who sighed humming.
“So, Luna I heard that you weren’t wearing this dress until Katie told you she will call me” Draco teased
as Luna looked at him annoyed while she smirked snorting.
“As if,” Luna said as she shook her head in disbelief which made Draco hum in response.
“Baby I know you are lying because I was right outside the walk-in-cupboard and as you know
vampires have amazing hearing power” Draco smirked as Luna pushed him a little sighing which made
him laugh making Luna giggle.
“Giggle more often, you look beautiful” Draco whispered to Luna as she blushed. She shook her head
as she flicked Draco’s forehead while she spoke “You don’t miss a single moment, right? You just have
to flirt” making Draco laugh while he nodded his head happily.
“Let’s dance my love” Draco spoke as he picked Luna up and went in the middle where the other
couples were dancing the ballroom dance as he put Luna down.
“Draco” Luna whispered as he leaned down to her level to listen to her.
“I can’t dance” Luna whispered again which made Draco smile as he stood back straight again.
Draco held Luna’s waist as he pulled her close while he questioned “What if I teach you?” which made
Luna blush but she eventually nodded her head.
“Place your right hand behind my left shoulder blade and kind of cup it okay also just make sure your
right elbow is up and your elbow bone should be pointed out to your right side,” Draco explained as
Luna did what she was told.
“Baby girl you should listen to me more often just like this because it turns me on” Draco laughed out
as Luna glared at him.
“Concentrate” Luna scolded Draco who laughed nodding his head.
“Okay, so I will wrap my left arm around you baby as I will hold your waist. Now both of us can bring the
other arm up and clasp our hands together.” Draco said as Luna nodded her head while they now
moved to the beat.
“Look Draco, I am dancing the dance I hate the most” Luna giggled out happily making Draco smile as
they enjoyed each other’s company.
After few minutes Draco saw someone as he let Luna go. “Baby, I will be back soon” Draco spoke as
he walked away.
Luna stared at Draco as she sighed going to a corner and sitting on one of the chairs while she waited
to see any familiar face or Draco.
Few minutes had passed away as Luna looked at the clock to see 13 minutes had passed away which
now worried her.
“Let’s search for that dummy” Luna whispered to herself as she stood up and walked away trying to
search Draco.
Luna walked around when she suddenly stumbled as she felt an arm around her waist pulling her up.
“Draco” Luna whispered as she turned around to see a random guy so she lightly pushed him away.
“Princess,” The man said as he bowed down so Luna did the same thing as Katie has told her it was
compulsory.
Luna stood straight up as she saw the man eyeing her up and down which made her shiver in disgust.
“Would you like to dance?” The man questioned as Luna gave him a fake smile as she remembered
she had to be nice to the guests.
“Thank you for asking but no” Luna spoke as she walked away as the man held her wrist pulling her
back.
“But I am trying to accompany you, princess Luna,” The man said as she squeezed Luna’s wrist which
made her hiss in pain.
“Um, can you let me go? I have a mate and he is your prince and his name is Draco” Luna spoke as
she was losing her patience while she glared at the man who chuckled and kept his hand on her
shoulder.
“Let me go,” Luna said angrily as the man removed his hand and bowed down while he stuttered out
“I... I am sorry princess” as he ran away confusing Luna so she looked behind herself to see Draco
glaring at the man.
“Here you are” Luna sighed out as she hugged Draco who wrapped his arm around her while he kissed
the crown of her head.
“He didn’t do anything right?” Draco questioned all worried as Luna shook her head.
“He just held my wrist and his grip was strong” Luna shrugged her shoulders as Draco walked with
Luna hugging his arm.
“Oh yeah, I would like you to meet someone” Draco spoke as he held Luna’s hand while he gently
pulled her towards the corner where she saw Adrian standing there which made her angry.
“What is that idiot doing over there?” Luna hissed angrily as she crossed her arm around her chest
remembering how Adrian always bullied her because she bullied Draco.
“Don’t worry baby girl. He is a vampire who took the job to protect me. He took care of me as a
guardian in the human world since I wasn’t a full vampire and it was dangerous for a human kid to be in
a supernatural world” Draco explained as Luna nodded her head understandingly but kept her guard up
by protectively holding Draco’s arm.
“Hey, Luna long time no see” Adrian spoke as he shook Luna’s hand who hummed all bored.
“This is Nathan and he is Adrian’s mate” Draco introduced as Luna hummed yet again.
“Would you like to dance?” Nathan question as Luna glanced at him while she shook her head to a no.
“Sorry,” Luna apologized since she just liked dancing with Draco.
“Why are you even here?” Luna questioned Adrian who smiled at her.
“My parents are friends with Draco’s parents since high school so we were invited as well” Adrian
explained as Luna nodded.
“Okay,” Luna shrugged as she smiled at Nathan and Adrian as she knew that she had to forgive Adrian
sooner or later for what he did when she was small.
“Are you still angry with me for pouring cold water on you?” Adrian spoke as he chuckled with Draco
who laughed at that remembering how Luna was pulling his hair and Adrian ended up thinking Luna
was killing Draco so he threw cold water on Luna.
“Fuck yeah I got a cold after that because it was freezing outside and on top of that you poured water
on me which was freaking cold” Luna spoke through gritted teeth as she saw Draco, Adrian, and
Nathan laughing at her.
“It was your fault” Adrian shrugged as Draco and Nathan laughed.
“Uh no. I wasn’t pulling his hair. He took my favorite keychain from me so I was just trying to get it back”
Luna explained as Adrian laughed at her.
“You shouldn’t have pulled his hair. You were all soaking wet and you were shocked as to what
happened. You should have seen the look on her face” Adrian laughed as Luna averted her eyes
feeling embarrassed as she remembered how much that keychain was important to her.
“Fuck” Luna cursed as she stomped away leaving Draco, Adrian, and Nathan behind.
“I think you crossed the line” Nathan spoke as he lightly smacked Adrian’s head who pouted rubbing it.
“Don’t worry I will check” Draco went after Luna to see her standing behind the stairs as he noticed
tears falling from her eyes which got him all worried.
“Hey, baby they were just joking” Draco whispered as he wrapped one arm around Luna’s waist while
he caressed her cheek.
“Get lost Draco” Luna cried out as she smacked his hand away and pushed him a little which angered
him.
“Luna they were just joking. You can’t even handle a small joke” Draco spoke angrily as Luna looked
right into his orbs.
“Jokes on one side and me getting sick for no reason on the other” Luna argued back as Draco sighed
pinching the bridge of his nose.
“Luna, stop acting childish and just apologize to them” Draco spoke as he held Luna’s arm while pulled
her arm away and took a few steps back.
“Just go to your friends.” Luna cried out as she started to walk away which made Draco angrier than he
was.
‘LUNA’ Draco yelled telepathically as she stopped while crying.
“If you walk one more step away, I will break up with you” Draco spoke as he walked towards her as
she turned around all angrily.
“I hate you” Luna spoke through gritted teeth.
“I hate you” Luna chanted as she punched Draco’s chest who let her take out her anger.
“I hate you so much. You are taking their side even though you and Adrian hurt me. You broke the
keychain that was the last thing that I had related to my biological parents. I never got to have it back
instead I caught a cold because of Adrian. I lost the only thing related to my biological parents” Luna
rambled on as Draco quickly hugged her all guilty.
“I am sorry moon...I didn’t know” Draco whispered as Luna pushed him away.
“I hate you” Luna whispered as she walked away leaving a very guilty Draco behind.
Draco sighed as he quickly went to his room while he started searching through his stuff for the
keychain that belonged to Luna which he still had.
After exactly 8 minutes Draco yelled “KATIE” as she walked inside the room.
“Yes, prince?” Katie questioned as Draco stood up.
“Tell Luna that Draco is flirting with his ex-girlfriend under the staircase” Draco smirked as Katie nodded
her head while she walked away.
Luna on the other hand was sitting on a chair that was in a corner as she was trying to stop crying.
“Princess” Katie spoke as she tried to catch her breath.
“Yes, Katie” Luna glanced at Katie to see her all worried.
“I thought I should inform you...um...I saw Prince Draco flirting with his ex-girlfriend under the staircase”
Katie spoke alerting Luna as she stood up all worried.
“Lead the way” Luna spoke as she knew that she couldn’t lose Draco as well how she lost her family
before and her baby. Draco was special to her even though she hated the fact of him taking Adrian’s
side and teasing her.
“Here,” Katie spoke as she bowed down and walk away before Luna could realize that Katie was lying.
Luna looked around when someone held her waist making her gasp as she was pulled behind the
stairs.
Luna was about to scream when she turned around and saw Draco making her frown.
“Mr. Draco where is your ex?” Luna questioned as she bit her bottom lip all nervous while she looked at
her left and right.
“Mrs. Luna I just made Katie say that so you can come here to me” Draco spoke as he trapped Luna
against the wall.
“S…So, your ex-girlfriend isn’t here?” Luna stuttered out embarrassed as Draco played with Luna’s hair
while humming in response.
“Were you worried that I was touching some other girl?” Draco smirked making Luna huff as she tried
pushing Draco away but he was way strong for her.
Every time Draco let her push him so it was easy but this time, he didn’t want her to escape since he
felt guilty for what he did today and for what he did when they were young.
“You look adorable today plus I made you sad so I am sorry. My love, would you forgive me?” Draco
questioned as he rested his head on Luna’s shoulder making her sigh.
“Here” Draco whispered in Luna's ear huskily as he nibbled it while he gave the keychain, he still had
that belonged to Luna making her eyes widened in shock.
“H-Hey” Luna stuttered out as Draco had now started kissing Luna’s neck which made her flush red
while she kept her left hand on Draco’s shoulder to stop him.
“D-Don’t push” Luna stuttered out again as Draco held her wrists with one hand and pinned them
above her head. He pushed his body more against her while he trapped her completely as he enjoyed
kissing her neck where he would bite in the mating ceremony later.
Draco felt Ronin and Juliet’s presence which made him smirk as he spoke telepathically ‘Stop staring at
us you both idiots’ in their head as he felt them go away.
“Draco” Luna spoke as Draco let her wrists go so, she pulled his ear giggling.
“I am reaching till your chin” Luna giggled out making Draco smile as he now felt at ease seeing her
happy again.
Draco smirked seeing how she was measuring her height as he wrapped his arm around her waist.
“Baby take off those heels and then measure your height with mine” Draco spoke teasingly making Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
Luna pout as she knew that she was way shorter compared to Draco.
“Luna, kiss me” Draco whispered as Luna’s face turned red in embarrassment.
“Kiss you? Are you insane?” Luna questioned as Draco shrugged his shoulder.
“No people will see” Luna argued back as Draco sighed shrugging.
“Come on you are my mate. No one cares” Draco argued as he completely hid her by standing on her
left side that led the way where people were enjoying the ball.
Luna sighed as she pulled Draco’s tie and connected her lips with his making him sigh all happily.
Luna broke the small peck as she kept on staring at Draco while she held the tie with her right hand.
“Brother Draco” Alex yelled as Draco turned around looking at Alex, Alyssa, and Juliet who smiled at
him.
“Whatcha doing here?” Draco questioned as he pulled Alex and wrapped his arm around his shoulder.
“Brother Draco your brothers are with uncle and auntie discussing the thing we talked about” Alex
spoke as Draco hummed understandingly.
“Alie, I am leaving Luna in your care” Draco spoke as he kissed the crown of Luna’s head who smiled
while he waved at them all and walked away.
“Everything okay?” Luna questioned as Juliet shook her head while they all walked back to the sofa.
“Alex saw some girls talking about trashing this mating ball and Alex can’t tell us because it will ruin the
surprise that the boys prepared for us” Juliet spoke all sadly making Luna sigh.
“I knew something like this would happen” Luna groaned as she sat on the sofa with Alex next to her.
Juliet sat with Alyssa who was equally worried as her sisters and Alex.
“Okay, I kind of predicted this would happen like I was like 50 percent sure since something like this
happened in Jace’s sister mating time and even mine so I already prepared everything cause I knew
anything could happen” Alex spoke as he stood up and walked to the table where he picked three small
bags.
He walked back as he sat on the sofa and gave one bag to each. “Did I give you guys the right ones?”
Alex questioned as Juliet saw her name on the bag so she nodded her head.
“Great now open this when I give you the signal too so for now keep this with you and I am sure no one
will notice since it’s so small,” Alex spoke as Luna kept hers in her clutch shrugging.
“Oh yeah I can do that too” Alyssa giggled out as she kept her bag inside the clutch while Juliet did the
same as well.
The boys walked back as Alyssa stood up and went to sit with Loukas while Ronin sat with Juliet.
Alex stood up as he sat with Jace while Draco sat with Luna as he pulled her towards himself.
Luna sighed as she looked at everyone hoping everything goes okay. The royal horn suddenly blew
indicating that the boys were about to give their surprise to the girls which got them and Alex
nervous.
