{ Rio }All of this is weird. It's very weird, isn't it? The whole atmosphere smelled of confrontation and lies... but for some reason Lunanci looked completely happy and Laurie was the one who looked a little... scared? Dazed?I know it doesn't make any sense, but I'm still confused by my sudden blackout. One second I was at the door and the next second I was in the living room with Lunanci in front of me. That damn wolf is completely blocking me out again. And I thought we were getting along better.I try to connect with him and ask him what the hell happened, but he just ignores me. He's here, very awake in my mind, lying there in complete tranquility, simply and very clearly ignoring me.‘Fuck you, Wolf’‘Fuck you more’ he answers. Oh, god. I start pacing back and forth in front of the door considering going out to see what the hell is going on outside, but the door opens before I can do so and Lunanci walks in with a smile, as if nothing happened. "What the hell, Luna? If my c
{ Lunanci }Was I wrong? Should I have kept that as a secret for longer? His sudden face of complete dread makes me think so, but it was my last resort. He was talking about sending me away and I don't want that. I truly don't want to go back to a boring, excitementless life, I'd kill myself in a week anyway. I think I'm just destined for a young death, Rio has to come to terms with that sooner or later. "Rio?" I ask when I start to worry that he's not saying anything, he's been paralyzed for a couple of seconds, not giving me even a hint of what he's feeling. So, I try to touch his arm again to feel what he feels."I need a second," he blurts out immediately when he feels my touch and gets up from the couch, as if he's running away from me, "Don't talk to anyone, I'll be back in a moment."He’s gone before I can answer, nearly knocking the waitress over as he flees to the bathroom with clumsy, heavy steps. Hell, maybe it was a bad idea, but Alpha said Rio is almost ready, didn't h
Once we agree on a time and details to head to Fallonmore tomorrow, Laurent kicks me out of his room to continue making out with King instead of begging for my forgiveness. Douchebag. I take a deep breath while I unwillingly head to my room. I really don’t want to deal with this awkward situation yet, but I also know Lunanci so well that I know right now she's wrapped up in bed to avoid me until I apologize to her for... whatever it is I have to apologize for this time. I’m not even sure at this point, but that means I have a little more time to think. I mentally prepare for a few seconds and walk into the room. Of course, I was completely right. Luna is in bed, turned to the wall throwing ‘apologize to me’ vibes. Despite everything, I can't help but let out a smile. She's cute when she's mad. I close the door behind me and I carefully get into bed. Of course I can tell Luna isn't asleep at all, she's breathing heavily and scoffing every so often. However, now that I’m here with h
"Rio is a really good guy, but I do think he's freaking out about the fact that you're not a wolf at all, regardless of designation. We've never heard of anyone having a human partner, so it would be... scandalous, if not dangerous, so that's his biggest concern, I think," Kingsley continues, with a pitying grimace on his face as he looks at me. He obviously feels bad for me, and he should, he’s a gorgeous omega and I’m not. "Yeah, I understand," I mumble, looking at anything but him because I don't want to feel even uglier than I already do, "I was just feeling lonely, I guess. Rio is my only way source of information but I don't want to pester him about why he seems so against me being his mate, that’s pathetic.”"Well, you’ll both figure it out soon. I'm a big believer in the fact that Mother Nature does everything right, if she truly made you for him, it's for a reason. It's not always perfect, okay? Even for fated mates. Laurent and I both tried to deny our bond for a long time,
Rio let Alpha stay for the rest of the day yesterday and this morning when we woke up, he avoided me completely. He only woke up to take a shower and get dressed next to me pretending I don't exist. If I didn't know it was because he's embarrassed about yesterday, I'd feel insecure again, but I know that's all it is. And I know it will have to pass at some point, so I just get dressed too and once we’re done, we head out to have a silent breakfast with Laurie. Takeout breakfast of course. "Rio, ride shutgun," Laurent orders once we reach his fancy black car, but Rio completely ignores him and gets in the back, leaving me to sit in the passenger seat, which is incredibly uncool, "What the hell is wrong with him? He's been weird all morning.""I have no idea," I lie and get in the car. Rio plops down in the back seats to make his unwillingness to talk more evident. Laurent turns to him with a frown, "I think he has diarrhea or something.""God, Lunanci, that's not true," Rio growls fr
"Now that there are only smart people in the room," Olivia says once we’re alone and settles in better to face me, "Can you explain?"Here it goes. "I have an intimate relationship with Rio’s wolf, but not with Rio himself," I begin after taking a long breath. I have to get this right, make sure my story makes sense with Rio's but I also have to make sure I don’t sound like a scammer, I can’t take another person thinking that about me, "I was a little surprised at first when a random man suddenly came up to me growling about me being his mate and him being a wolf, but to be completely honest, I didn't take it as a regular human would because I'm not a regular human. I've always been different from the rest, I've always had this special ability that no one else seems to have, so I've always been sure that there’s… more out there. Something bigger, something better than just my normal boring life. When Alpha came along, it was just a confirmation of something I already imagined and was
{ Rio }"What the hell?" I spit, running down the stairs and looking everywhere for Lunanci but the house is empty. Laurent and I finally decided to sneak out of his room after fighting for a while to peek in on the conversation, but there isn't even a conversation happening because they aren't here. My heart goes crazy with worry... what if Olivia took her to my grandfather? To Uncle Daniel? That would be the end of everything. I pick up my phone and try to call Lunanci, but the call is immediately forwarded."This is my mom's fault," Laurie complains, "I knew this was a bad idea... we have to find them before my mom does something and everyone finds out about this shit."Laurent calls his mom about fifty times for almost twenty minutes until she finally answers."Where are you? Where did you take the human?""I'm at Isabelle's house. She is a real healer. I need you to get Rio here as soon as possible, Isabelle is going to check the veracity of his bond," my aunt says and we both s
"We both talked to your wolf," Isabelle continues speaking, "He really, deeply loves Lunanci. Although you don't have a fated bond, there IS a bond, but it's more... one sided. Alpha chose Lunanci as a mate even if she isn’t his by fate. Normally, that would create a chosen bond between the two of you, but Lunanci doesn't have a wolf to create that bond with. We believe there is a tiny chance that, over time, the bond could grow, but we're not sure."This is so confusing. "But what does that even mean? Alpha loves her but Lunanci doesn't love him back?” I ask, my head feels like a scrambled egg and I think I'm a little offended. A one sided bond? I've never in my life heard that before. Of course I’m the only unwanted loser with a one sided bond. "It's not that easy. Lunanci might love you with all of her heart, but human emotions have a limit, wolf emotions don't. He will love her forever... Lunanci might not."That sounds extremely unfair for my wolf. I try to meet Lunanci's eyes
