Bernardo “The truth is that I am not okay. I don’t think I will ever be okay, Lyn. I really cared for my uncle. I really loved him and truly saw him as a father figure. To find out that he didn’t give a fuck about me all these years hurts so bad. It won’t hurt this bad if it was someone else.” I told her sincerely. If I could speak to anyone about how I truly felt about everything I have found out, it would be my mate. She surely would understand how I feel. She wrapped her arms around my neck and kissed my hair. My arms on her waist tightened as I drew warmth from her.“You don’t need to get over the pain of betrayal, you just need to experience it and learn from it. At the end of the day, it’s not you who did wrong.” She said, I nodded. It’s true, I did nothing wrong by trusting him. They just made me see that I shouldn’t trust so blindly.“Thank you.” I said, she responded by kissing my hair. We stayed like that for a while. My head was blank. I didn’t have any thoughts for a
HarlynI sighed for the hundredth time today, it was the first full moon since I found my mate, and since my expectation of my wolf taking control for the first time was raised to an all-time high. My mate did a good job distracting me last night and most of today but as the day drew closer to nighttime, I got even more anxious.I specifically asked to be left in the room because I didn’t want to ruin everyone’s happy mood with my anxiety. I know just how much the pack looked forward to the full moon. They spend so much time in their human form that when the full moon comes in, everyone just lets loose and lets their wolf side run freely.I didn’t want to be a party pooper so I stayed in the room and the only person that I saw today was my mate. Alpha Hillan called to give me a word of support and so did Julia. I felt loved and happy that they remembered and called.“Baby? Are you sure you want to stay in here until the sun goes down?” Bernardo asked, strolling into our room. He we
Harlyn“But you manage just fine and have a job where you have to see blood all the time even though you might need to feed.” I said. I didn’t know what it was like to be a vampire but Harry told me that he needed to feed sometimes even though he didn’t tell me how he managed to do it.“I don’t feed on human blood. We were trained to live among humans, sis, Harry does feed sometimes but not every time and he got himself sorted out. As for me, my wolf side is dominant so I don’t need to feed, I just learned to not get burnt in the sun.” She explained. That made a lot of sense.“That makes sense.” I turned to Bernardo and he was watching with interest. I shot a smile in his direction and focused on what my sister was saying.“I actually called to tell you something that you might like to hear. I am currently at Harry’s mansion.” She said, yeah, I know now that my brother was super rich and successful. He started working hard from a young age and managed to build an empire for himsel
Harlyn“You are about to shift,” He whispered, I couldn’t believe it, really? It was really going to happen to me after waiting for years? I blinked back the tears that formed in my eyes, the pain wasn’t enough to stop the excitement inside of me. I closed my eyes and listened to the sound of my mate’s voice.“There is nothing to be afraid of, don’t fight it. It will be so beautiful. Just let it wash over you and let her lose.” He urged. I couldn’t get any words out, if I could, I would have told him that I wasn’t afraid, I waited so long for this moment. I felt my wolf rush forward, she was edging to break loose. I held my breath and braced myself for the change that would snap my bones and stretch my muscles. It was a painful process but the pain was beautiful to me too.The tears fell freely from my eyes as the moment that I had spent so long waiting for happened in a few seconds. I heard a loud howl and opened my eyes when I realized it came from me. I was no longer in control.
Harlyn“Good girl.” Bernardo said and pulled me to himself. We were both naked on the field and yet, it felt so perfect.“What did my wolf look like?” I couldn’t resist asking. He smiled.“She looked perfect, just like you. She looked just like mine, only smaller and perfect. You did well.” He told me and reached to cup my jaw. He leaned over and kissed me, licking the seam of my lips. I opened my mouth for him. I felt a sizzle of want and pleasure run through my body. We have been intimate so many times but this felt different. It felt special in a different kind of way that I couldn’t explain. I looked into his eyes and saw something that I hadn’t seen there before. I gasped and tried to pull away but he pulled me back to himself.“I fell for you here. I know I denied it and lied through my teeth that what we had was a mistake but I truly fell in love with you here.” I heard him but it felt like I imagined it. Love? Does that mean he really loves me?“Yes, Harlyn, I love you.”
BernardoMy beautiful mate was sleeping peacefully beside me. I smiled when I remembered that she could hear my thoughts now. It was amazing. I had nothing to hide from her so I wasn’t scared of what she would find out.Earlier when she had first heard my thoughts, I loved the beautiful smile that formed on her face. Goddess, I love her so much and want to see her smile all the time but right now.I wanted to be with her all the time. It felt criminal that I could only spend limited time with her because I had to focus on rooting out the bad seeds among the leaders of the Crimson Moon. I spoke with Damien earlier and he told me he had a video for me to see. He also told me that Sean had been meeting with elders too, not just betas. They were really going on all in. He wanted me to come see the video but I told him that I would meet him today. I spent the whole of yesterday with Harlyn and at some point, I had to admit I got worried that her wolf might not show up.I did my best to h
Harlyn “Lalalala… Lalalala… Lalalala… Lalalala.” My wolf sang. I shook my head and tried to keep my wolf in check but she has been going at it all morning and no matter what I do, it just doesn’t work. I couldn’t blame her. A lot of things happened to us last night. Good things. We were finally able to shift and also our mate told us that he loved us. My wolf was the happiest she had ever been. I felt happy too. The happiest I have ever been. Everything happened so fast. Yesterday was one of the best days of my life so far. Something changed in my life yesterday and it was a positive change. It was hard to hide my happiness. Meeting my wolf was the highlight of all the good things that have happened to me recently. It was something I waited for longer than any other wolf in the Crimson Moon so it was extra special for me and even more special because on the night I finally shifted, my mate confessed his love for me. I smiled when I remembered how he told me he loved me countl
Harlyn“They are here.” I said in excitement when I saw the car that Bernardo had sent to go get them from the airport. I let go of my mate and ran towards the car when it came to a stop. I couldn’t hide my excitement. All the times I wondered what I would do the moment Harry brought my sister to me and now that they were here, I didn’t know how to act.“Oh my goddess.” I let out when the car opened and my sister stepped out. I recognized her immediately because she was me in a different body. We looked the same. I stood still, my hands flying to my mouth. She saw me and stopped too.We both stood watching each other, and neither of us moved towards each other. We were both in awe. She really looked like me. We were even the same height. The only difference right now was her hair being blonde while mine was black. That’s the only difference.It was crazy seeing someone like me. It was like looking into a mirror.“Are you both going to stand apart all day?” I heard Harry say and tu
