HarlynAnd he managed to fool Bernardo but he couldn’t fool me anymore. Before I was suspecting, but now? I am one hundred percent sure that he was involved in whatever shit his son was up to and this visit? Was his way of finding out what was going on.“I hope you haven’t told this man any of your plans on what you intend to do to Theo?”I thought. I could feel Bernardo in my head and knew he heard me.“I didn’t tell him. What’s wrong with you? Why are you acting hostile towards him?”I couldn’t believe he was asking me that after hearing what the old man just said. Was he blind or something? It was so easy to see that this man was up to no good.“Our Luna is a feisty one.”Sean said, I resisted the urge to glare at him and tell him to stop faking a smile. My wolf was restless inside me too. Pushing and wanting me to leave the room. This man made me uncomfortable.“I don’t think I am being feisty by telling you the truth, sir. I will appreciate it if you don’t talk about my fathers l
HarlynI didn’t stop walking until I got to our room and closed the door behind me. Only then did I find some peace. It was as if being near that man drained me. Everything inside of me hated him.“He is evil.” My wolf whispered. She knew too. She felt it too but somehow, Bernardo was blinded to the obvious. I don’t know how his uncle could fool him so well but not me. It would never be me. “What fuck was that, Harlyn?” Bernardo asked angrily when he walked into our room. I didn’t even realize that he had followed behind me. “What do you mean? Why are you yelling at me?” I responded.“You damn well know what I mean, why would you act like that towards my uncle? He’s already walking on eggshells around me because of what that bastard did and now you made it worse.” I made it worse? It’s not my fault that he’s blinded to the obvious. “Bernardo, alpha, your highness. I don’t know what clouded your eyes that you can’t see that old man for who he really is but don’t expect me to act
BernardoI followed Harlyn here in hopes of getting her back to my office so that she could apologize to Uncle Sean but here I was, starting to have doubts about him. What if she was right about the things that she was saying about him? What if he really was helping his son?One thing she said stood out for me. At the end of the day, Theo is his son and I am the son of the man who became king instead of him. Could he really be pretending to be okay with me while plotting against me with his son? It was hard to believe that my good old Uncle Sean could do something like that.But then again, Harlyn hasn’t been wrong. All the things she has told me so far have been right. When she told me that man didn’t cause the bear attack. When she told me about the captured women. When she told me about Sophie being in danger and also when she stopped me from killing her brother. Even with JR too.She has never made things up. Why would she make this up? She was right about me feeling her emotions
BernardoAt first, I thought of going over to the mini recorder and yanking it off but I thought against it. If I moved it, he would know I found out about his deceit. I should have known. Harlyn told me times without numbers. Even Damien tried to tell me but I told him off and he never spoke about it again. I inspected the bug to make sure I wasn’t making it up and sure enough it was there. Blinking a faint blue light. They already turned it on. The light was so faint that if I didn’t focus on it, I would never have noticed in this huge office.“Fuck!” I growled in a low voice. I felt betrayed because I really trusted my uncle. I believed his every word and almost fought with my Luna because of him. Meanwhile, she had been right about him plotting against me. Why else would he place a recorder in my office?The only reason I even knew was because I noticed his eyes going over there more times than I could count in the space of ten minutes. He had been nervous. Why did he choose to
Bernardo “Sean came to my office earlier. I asked our Luna to come say hi, but she flamed up when she got to my office and wasn’t comfortable around him. She clearly saw and felt something that I didn’t. She stormed out of the office. I followed behind her and tried to make her apologize to Sean.” I hate that part now, I should never have asked her to apologize to him. I should have listened to her from the beginning. “Okay? What happened after that?” “We argued. Don’t worry, we already made up.” I added when I saw his worried expression. “I came back from my office and met Sean walking out of the secret room in my office.” His eyes widened. “I haven’t gone in there to check if everything was okay because I saw something else in the office after he left.” Damien’s eyes were burning with curiosity. “He taped my office.” I revealed. “What?” Damien yelled out. It was still shocking to me that the man I spent years trusting and defending even from my grandmother turned out to
TheoDays after leaving the Crimson Moon, nothing was working over there. Edna couldn’t do a simple job. Hearing of her passing made me so mad. I should have been the one to kill her with my hands. I spared her for that job but she still managed to fail. Good thing she thought of killing herself before I got to her because it wouldn't have been an easy death if I had laid my hands on her again.Over here, I seemed to have hit the jackpot. The first person I met as soon as my plane landed in the city was a witch. Not just a regular witch but one with decades of spell-casting powers. We hit off immediately and I have been living with her for the past couple of days. I was slowly letting her in on my plans and so far, she was on board with it.If everything goes as planned with her, I will return to the Crimson Moon sooner than planned. Not just that, all the people that I have spoken to so far have all given positive responses. Of course, nothing was free. I promised them a huge rew
Theo “Bernardo doesn’t suspect a thing but I don’t know for how long I can keep pretending.” “You have been pretending for years. Don’t act like you didn’t try to kill him multiple times and failed. Don’t act like I put you up to the pretending shit. Just own your failure and watch me succeed where you failed.” He failed so many times and gave up. If he didn’t give up, I wouldn't have to fight that bastard for the throne. All I would have done was take my father out of the way and become the alpha king. But the fucker failed miserably. He sat there and watched the queen mother and the elders crown a freaking child as king.“Watch what you say to me, Theo. I am still your father and you haven’t particularly succeeded in any of your plans either. In fact, I have had more success than you. I was able to take out the former king and the zeta. What have you done other than make a mess and run away? You keep boosting but haven’t achieved anything. All your allies are now scared and might
Harlyn“So, you want me to apologize to your uncle?” I asked, and he nodded. He just explained the most shocking details to me and I was so tempted to remind him that I warned him but I saw how sad the betrayal made him look. He was trying to hide it but I could see that he genuinely felt betrayed by his uncle who he trusted so much.Hearing that I was right all along didn’t give me the thrill that I thought it would. Not with how it made Bernardo feel. “Yes, please.” “What if he doesn’t buy it? What if he suspects up?” I asked, I mean, a while ago, I practically challenged him and now, he wanted me to act like I was sorry. “He won’t suspect a thing. He will just see it as I was able to talk you into apologizing.” Bernardo answered. I nodded in agreement. At least, now he won't tell me off anymore concerning his uncle. Funny how the man came to the palace just to prove me right. I won’t be surprised if he has a hand in the death of the king and by extension my father. I hoped th
