The Beast's Virgin Claim

"Why has this unsettled you?"

"There is no need for him to come here just to inform me of your disappearance. He is coming to check, Theia."

"To check what?" I ask agitatedly as he turns his gaze to me with apprehensive greens.

"If you are here or not." There is an alarming look in his eyes that thrusts me into a state of panic. If Phobos finds me here and comes to uncover that I intentionally ran from him I know for sure it will end well for me or Cronus. My brother is quick to develop another plan the wheels in his mind are spinning to come up with a solution to evade the tenacious beast who is on his way.

My bother quickly picks up his phone with an urgency that shackles him and contacts another wolf. "Who are you calling?" I ask but my question is ignored, the entirety of his attention fixed on the phone call. It takes a few rings until it is finally attended to and we are welcomed by the amiable friendly voice of Lumina.

"Cronus." Her delicate voice swims through to us and brings a smile to my face. She sounds as though she has just awoken, well it is still early in the morning. But why is he calling her? How can she be of any help in my situation?

"Lumina." Whenever my brother calls her name or speaks about her there is this unfathomable fondness he holds in his voice. It is a distinct tone not comparable to how he speaks with me or mama but it reveals just how much he treasures her, as a friend of course. Cronus had never had female friends and always maintained a certain distance with my species when he was a juvenile but after he met Lumina, things changed he changed. She changed him in a way I cannot describe.

"Is it the good news I have been expecting? Have you finally found your female?"

"No, not yet." He chortles with a shake of his head the smile on his face widening.

"Now I am disappointed." She sighs and he peers at me clearing his throat wanting to cut their friendly conversation short and get straight to my problem.

"I have called you on a pressing matter. I would like it if you can make sure our conversation would be private." Silence follows Cronus's words and I gulp nervously. He wouldn't have contacted her unless he knows for sure she would be able to aid him for, after all, she does possess tremendous power. But I do not know if that power of hers would care to help me.

"Hold on." She mumbles the sound of a bed creaking and sheets being flung away is sent forth followed by her breathless gasp that has Cronus and me frown.

"And where do you think you are going, my female?" Deimos's sleepy husky voice startles me. If he somehow gets to know that I am here the news would unhesitantly be sent to his brother. If Cronus spoke to Lumina of my situation would she report it to her male in return? Her loyalty lies with Deimos, not with my brother.

"Deimos let me go," Lumina growls accompanied by a stifled moan and after comes the sounds of wet passionate kissing and hoarse grunts of pleasure.

My cheeks burn wildly while Cronus closes his eyes with a weary sigh as though he has encountered this situation plenty of times before. "Maybe I should fuck you harder so you will not have the energy to leave our bed. Kal is still asleep let me taste you some more."

I gasp placing my palms over my ears to block his sinful words. All males are beasts indeed. "They need some privacy. Call her back later." I tell Cronus who just shakes his head in refusal and simply reduces the volume to tune out their conversation.

"This happens most of the time. I have bad luck with these two I always end up calling either of them when they are fucking each other. The horrendous things I had to hear will forever be engraved in my mind." He groans with annoyance staring out the window at the mansion and my blush deepens. Well, that is awkward but Cronus does not seem to care.

After a few minutes, Lumina's voice strikes through the stillness and we both jerk up whilst Cronus increases the speaker volume of his phone to hear her better. "I am alone now, you can speak."

"That was quick how did you get away from that fool?" Cronus laughs.

"I kicked him hard in the gut, do you wish to hear his wails of pain?"

My brother's laugh increases his eyes twinkling with amusement as he hears her truth. Once he calms down the seriousness of our circumstances eventually returns to him. "Remember that time when I took you to Deimos's tent when he went off to war."

"Yes."

"Do you recall me saying I will ask you a favour in return for it?"

"Yes, of course."

"I need that favour now, Lumina."

"Anything for you, Cronus. What do you need?"

"First I need you to come to my home as fast as you can and as discreetly as you can."

"Discreetly? You want me to conceal my departure? From whom exactly?"

"From Deimos." I hold my breath waiting for her answer. She would never hide anything from him not even the smallest of things as they share such a bond, a bond Phobos and I can never forge no matter how hard we try. That stinging thought itself renders my heart to split into two vulnerable halves.

"Cronus you know I cannot do-"

"Please, do this for me. I really need your help here." My breath hitches to my brother's desperate plea. He barely says 'please' his pride and title of Alpha never tolerates it.. But he is doing so for my sake.
