Bernardo“So, you are telling me that you have no idea where my mate could be? That you don’t have a hand in what happened to Harlyn? I swear to the moon goddess that you w---“ “For fuck sake, I don’t fucking know what you are talking about, why are you bitching about her when you failed to protect her? Isn’t it your job to keep her safe? Why would I take her when I can’t even use her right now?” He yelled at me. Right, he couldn’t have taken her. There was no way but those who worked for him might have done it to gain favors from him. That could be it. They might have taken her without telling him and they might plan to call him soon. “If you find out anything, call me.” I told him even though I knew damn well that he would never call me. His laugh after I spoke pissed me off so much but I held myself back.“Do you really think that I would do something like that? I might not know where she is right now but I am glad they got her away from you. You don’t deserve her. You don’t de
TheoI wanted to laugh in his face. If I knew where his mate was, I would have had a good time laughing at him right now. I could feel the tension and the fear in his voice. It’s the first time ever that I have sensed any kind of fear in the bastard and I honestly wanted to capitalize on it but I don’t know where she could be.I haven’t called anyone from the Crimson Moon or interacted with anyone at that. I have been locked up in my room, trying to come up with a plan. A way to win against the bastard.“If I find out that you had anything to do with this, I w—“ “Oh shut the fuck up. You can’t do anything. You can’t even find your mate. What can you fucking do?” I fired at him and laughed when he went silent. Ha, I should have thought of this. I should have fucking thought of taking her away from him. She was all I needed to get him to submit and I missed the opportunity.I didn’t know that he loved her so much. If I knew, I would have used her. That’s why I had people everywhere,
TheoI had the worst childhood and it’s all because of the loser who was my father. He used to punish me so fucking much for little things until I stood up for myself after I shifted for the first time and he never touched me again. Since then, I refused to take orders from him. I gave out orders and his job was to listen.“If you hear what I have done, you will thank me.” He said and that got my attention. Could it be? Really? Could it be him? It would be so much easier if it was him.“What did you do?” I asked him. I didn’t want to get my hopes up. For all I know, it could be the most basic thing ever. The loser never does anything right. “I got her.” My heart skipped a beat at his words. He got her. There was only one her that I am interested in right now. If he really has her then I might actually look at him with a little respect. “Who? Who is her?” I asked, I did my best to act as uninterested as possible. I know my father, if he senses my desperation, he would use it agai
HarlynI knew immediately I opened my eyes that something wasn’t right. It took a while for me to adjust to the darkroom I was in. I felt weak and out of it. I couldn’t figure out where I was and how I got there. Not to mention that, my hands were tied. That was my first clue.I tried to remember what happened but was hit with a banging headache that drove me crazy. I shook my head and closed my eyes. The room I was in was pretty dark so closing my eyes didn’t make any difference.“Don’t panic.”I whispered to myself and tightened my eyes. It slowly started to come back and I started panicking. I remember getting into the car with those guards because one of them told me that my mate got hurt. And then that bastard covered my mouth and nose with something that made me pass out. I can’t remember anything that happened after that. “Bern.”I whispered and tried to connect our mind link like earlier but it was so silent. It was worse than before. I couldn’t even feel his presence at all.
Harlyn“You killed her!” I yelled at him and that made him laugh even more. I hated it. I felt angry but my anger wasn’t enough. I wanted to break free of the chains that were holding me but I couldn’t break free. I felt so helpless and hopeless and I really hated it so fucking much.“How could you do something like that? How could you have been so wicked? You killed your own brother and your mother!” I yelled at him. Yes, she didn’t birth him but I knew she raised him. She raised both of them. Both the former king and this murderer caused so much pain to the royal family.“What do you even know? What? Mother? That whore wasn’t a mother to me, I never once saw her as my mother. She ruined my family and stole my place in my father’s life. She didn’t stop there, she stole my throne.” “She didn’t steal anything from you! You didn’t get the throne because you didn’t deserve it!” I yelled at him. I didn’t know the full story but I am damn sure the elders then saw through him and knew t
Harlyn“Who told you that I am here to ask for your permission? You will do as I say if you don’t want trouble for the people who you care about. I mean, there’s a lot of them. From your vampire siblings to that stupid traitor to his sister who is mated to Damien who stupidly refused to accept my offer.” He let out. Wow, I didn’t even know he tried to make Damien an offer. Knowing Damien, he might have kept it a secret even from Bernardo.“Why did you ever think that the alpha king’s best friend will betray him?” I questioned.“Right, I was stupid to offer twice. I did the same for your loser father but he chose to die with that bastard just like Damien has chosen to die with your mate. Too bad, because he has something that would help in building the kingdom that I want.” The kingdom he wanted.“You still want the throne too? You are not doing this for your son but for yourself?” I shouldn’t be surprised. I should have expected it but I was still surprised. I mean, the signs were
Bernardo“What the fuck do I pay you all for if you can’t find my mate?” I couldn’t believe it. Hours later and no one still had an idea where my mate could be. The whole fucking security team, the deltas, and everyone else were useless. Why do I even invest so much in security when they can’t even do their job? One woman, no one could find one woman in a car with two fucking losers.The two losers that have been identified and their photos sent out to the various divisions. Still, nothing. No one knows where they could have taken her. It was as if she just disappeared. There’s no trace of the car that took her or the idiots who kidnapped her. Nothing. I had a terrible night. Didn’t sleep at all neither did Hillan, Harry, and Damien. Every one of us has been trying to track her down but nothing has shown up.Last night, all through the night, we tried. Damien has done everything and is still doing everything. He didn’t step away from his system all through the night. It was as if a
Bernardo “How are you so sure?” Hillan asked the witch who paused for a moment as if considering if she should tell him everything she knew or not.“Yes, I am sure. His father called him last night and I heard their conversation.” “What did you hear? Can you tell me the details?” Hillan requested. There was another long pause before she spoke again. I was so close to yelling at the phone for her to speak up. I don’t know why I had a feeling that whatever she says will help me in a way.“Yes, details, they got someone that is important and I think that’s why he wants to return. No, I don't think so. I know that’s why he thinks that they have the upper hand now.” Important someone? My mate? I grabbed the phone from Hillan who was quick to collect it back from me and before I could react, he walked out of the room, slamming the door behind him. I made to march after him but Harry stopped me.“Did you hear what she just said? She has information about my mate! I need to hear everythi
