Bernardo “No, I am not hiding anything. I met up with him and told him no.” “If you told him no then it’s fine. I am not surprised that he wanted you on his side. He has been actively trying to get everyone on their side. Even though I think you should have told me.” “I am sorry,” He apologized but his apology wasn’t needed right now. It wasn’t even important.“That’s not important. Why did you stop us? Unless your meeting with him has something to do with my mate being missing,” “It does. That day, I saw him outside of his house. I should have told you. I j—“ “What? You knew he left his house and you didn’t tell me? What? Damien!” I couldn’t believe it. Does that mean even the deltas I put at his house decided to be on his side too? Every one of them? They let him leave the house while reporting falsely to me? “I am sorry, I was going to tell you bu---“ “But what? You forgot? Is that it?” “Yes, I forgot. I swear I didn’t do it deliberately.” I had no reason to doubt him so
HarlynI finally got the chance to communicate with not just Bernardo but my brother too. Even Helaine. They didn’t respond but I know damn well that they heard me. Bernardo responded and he told me that they were coming for me.I had no doubt in my mind that they would find me before anything bad happened to me. I knew even before I was able to speak with him that they were looking for me. I felt the anxiety and fear in him. I did my best not to show that I felt anxious and scared.“Why are you so silent? There’s a reason I let you out and you should be doing that.”Sean scoffed. I resisted the urge to roll my eyes. He initially refused to accept to let me out of the room I had been in. He told me that I was trying to find ways to escape. If only he knew that I had no plans to escape. I wanted him to be caught. I didn’t want to run away from him. I wanted him to be defeated.Anyway, when he realized that he wouldn’t get the healing he wanted without letting me out of the room he cage
Harlyn“Luna? Hahaha, so funny. See the thing is that you won’t be for long and that’s for sure. Soon, you will be nothing more than a sex slave for me and my son. The rage in me grew to a whole new height. My wolf couldn’t take the insults, she wanted to break free and deal with him but I fought against her for control. There was no point in letting his words get to me or her. We will win only if we do things in the right order. I can’t get mad and ruin things for Bernardo.“You won’t be saying that when the Alpha king finds you.” I assured him and placed my hands on him. “Stay put if you want this to actually work.” I warned him and closed my eyes. Instead of focusing on healing him, I focused on finding out what he had been up to. I knew in my mind that I just had to want to know enough to get everything that I wanted from him.Healing him will be the payment for the information that I hope to get so yeah, healing wasn’t my main job here. The gods forbid I use my powers for an
Bernardo“How long more?” I let out impatiently. We were taking too long and Harlyn just briefly spoke to me. I tried to ask her more questions but she didn’t answer. She was in fear and distress.“Not long, did you hear anything?” Harry asked. I didn’t want him to panic. He has been doing a good job driving. If I told him that his sister might be in danger, I don’t know how he would take it. fuck! If that bastard hurts my woman, I won’t just kill him. I will make sure that it will be a slow painful death. “Just drive. We are running out of time.” I told Harry. Hillan touched me. I turned to look at him and sighed. I couldn’t even whisper because the others would hear. I reached for Hillan’s hand and held tight. I expected him to try to pull his hand away, but he didn’t. He instead linked our hands and nodded at me. It gave me so much strength and reaction.I wasn’t alone in this. I had three friends who cared about me and cared about my mate in their own way, and they would neve
HarlynIt happened so fast, one moment, Sean was trying to grab me and have his way with me and the next he was being thrown against the wall while I struggled to get off the bed. That bastard. I healed him and the moment he got up, he pushed me into the bed and tried to kiss me.“Bern!” I yelled out when I finally got up and saw who my savior was. My mate. He came just in time to save me. I had taken all the time I could. I got all the information I needed from Sean and couldn’t hold back anyone so it happened. I healed him.I heard his broken bones snap into place and my heart sank. Now, my heart soared when I saw my mate undoing all the work I did. I didn’t mind. Sean deserved what he was getting. He tried to lay his filthy hands on me.I fought him off as much as I could and even bit hard on him but he was way stronger than I presumed. The moment he was okay, again, I couldn’t overpower him.Bernardo turned to me and walked to me. He looked at me, searching for injuries. I shook
Harlyn“I am so sorry that I took so long to find you.” Was he kidding me? He arrived at the perfect time. I am not about to let him start blaming himself again for this. None of what happened was our fault. I thought he got hurt and got into trouble while trying to reach him and he did his best to find me. He found me. I wasn’t hurt or anything.“Bern.” I choked when it became unbearable. He finally noticed and released me. He fuzzed over me, looking for any sort of injuries. I had none even if I did, they were all healed now. “I am okay, you arrived just in time. Though, you just undid all the work I did,” I pointed at Sean who was still on the floor where Bernardo had left him. Maybe he was dead now. I didn’t even feel any kind of pity for him. An evil man like him doesn’t deserve pity. Bernardo looked at him and growled. He still wanted to hurt him but for some reason, he was holding back. He turned back to me and gently moved my hair away from my face.“I was so scared. I c
Harlyn“Your majesty,” He called when we got to him. I don’t know if he was talking to Bernardo or me. I blinked back tears and glared at him. He noticed me glaring at him and stepped out of the way. Bernardo opened the car door and helped me in.“Are you okay?” I nodded without words. Hillan wasn’t talking to me. My brother hugged me and Damien greeted me with a smile but he was just quiet. As if he doesn’t care. As if he doesn’t want to be here. Did I do something wrong? I couldn’t remember. The last time we saw each other, I healed him so why was he acting so cold?“He cares.” Bernardo’s voice filtered into my head. I didn’t even know I let my guard down.“I am sorry,” I apologized. He was here with me, I shouldn't be thinking about another man. He smiled and fixed my hair before caressing my cheek. He didn’t look offended.“You don’t have to apologize. He was just as worried about you as the rest of us. You can talk to him. I will go see what the others are up to. I don’t wan
Harlyn“I can’t forget everything that happened here, at least not yet. We need to catch everyone involved and I may have a great list of others you guys don’t know about.”Hillan stared at me in confusion. He doesn’t know that I see vision too. I wonder if I should tell him. I healed him too so he might not like to hear that I was able to see the things that happened to him. I didn’t mean to prey on him.“What do you mean?”Should I just lie? I could say Sean namedropped a lot of people but the chances of Bern telling him were high since they seem to be very close now. He even left me with him where before he would never have let that happen.“I see visions of those I heal and I preyed a lot more with Sean and saw a handful of things that I think will help us.”I bit down on my bottom lip when he stared at me in shock. I didn’t need a prophet to tell me where his thoughts were going and when his expression turned into questioning looks, I nodded.“Lyn!”He yelped.“Sorry, I didn’t me
Bernardo “That was easier than I predicted.” I let out on the drive back to the palace after spending hours giving out orders and making a list of intruders in my kingdom that I hadn’t been aware of. Funny how they all gave in without a fight. I expected them to fight back or try to escape but it went the opposite way which was okay by me. I might have the strength but that doesn’t mean I want to fight all the time. They were all leaving my kingdom tonight. Not one of them will be left. I already warned them that if they ever tried to come back, it would be death on arrival. A total of one hundred and thirty intruders. Seventy of them were bears and the others were made up of different breeds. I don’t know how Sean was able to gather that much and hide them away in the pack without being noticed. Who was I fooling? I knew how. I just hated how much freedom he had to do those things and get away with them for years. “It looked easy to you because you didn’t have to beat those
Harlyn“Don’t even bring that up, I don’t want to hear it. It won’t work!” She warned me. I sighed. Both my clients don’t want to know each other. Such a loss.“Fine, I won’t bring it up. You both are not fun. I just don’t want Octavia to get him.” Helaine stared at me in confusion. “Octavia, the witch. It’s clear that she likes him and wants him. He told me that she kind of became a friend and he only sees her as a friend but I don’t think that will last. They are bound to get together at some point.” I lamented.“So?” “So? Is that all you have to say? The man might be your mate. Don’t you care that there’s a witch out there, out to get him?” Helaine shook her head, eyeing me as if I was crazy.“Do you really want me to be worried about that? I don’t know this man and you seem to be forgetting the keyword in your sentence. ‘might’ I can assure you that he isn’t my mate. He can get on with whoever he wants.” Helaine said firmly, leaving no room for argument.“Just give up.” M
Harlyn“Helaine!” I yelled and ran into her arms. Crazy girl. She scared me. I pulled her into the room with me. I hugged her again. “Laine! You scared me!” I scolded her and pulled out of the hug to make sure I wasn’t seeing things. She was really here. I didn’t expect her to be back already. She didn’t even say anything when we spoke on the phone.“Baby girl. Surprise.” She cheered. “Surprise? You didn’t even tell me that you were coming! I thought it was another fucker trying to trick me.” I let out and hugged her again. “Sorry, sis. I didn’t think of that. I just wanted to surprise you. I didn’t mean to scare you.” She apologized. I didn’t mind anymore. She was here. She was really back to the Crimson Moon. I eased out of our hug again and looked her over. She dyed her hair black and now, we looked so alike that it would be hard to tell us apart.“You dyed your hair.” I pointed out. she nodded and smiled.“I wanted us to look exactly the same. Do you like it?” Do I like
Harlyn“There’s no one here.” I whispered to myself, looking around again. I must have hallucinated the movement. Maybe I was seeing things that weren't there because I was worrying so much. I can’t even talk myself out of worrying because there was literally a war going on in my kingdom right now and it could get worse.I really don’t want it to get worse. I don’t want the pack members or others in the kingdom to be affected by what’s going on. So far, no one in the kingdom except the people involved knew what was going on. I wish we would resolve it without it escalating to the point that everyone else would be affected.“Please,” I whispered to myself as I turned and made my way back to the room. I could only wish and pray for safety now. There was nothing else I could do. If only I could fight. Maybe I should learn how to fight too. “That’s not what a Luna does!” “Bernardo.” My heart sang when I heard his voice in my head. I thought of using our mind link but I didn’t want to
Theo “Shit!” I cursed when I heard her walking towards me. Yes, I came for her but I didn’t want her to see me yet. Not yet. I don’t want anyone to know that I was already in the Crimson Moon. It took everything to escape that witch. She had been on my tail every day and made it hard for me to leave. I caught her off-guard and left when she least expected it. If my hunch was right, she already called that bastard and told him that I left. Fuck her for choosing to be on his side when I found her first and even gave her my mark. When I am done here, I will surely go back and make sure to pay her back. Even when she had been helping me, I planned on disposing of her when I no longer needed her but now, she made it so much easier to do away with her. I hid behind a pillar and held my breath as Harlyn's footsteps grew closer. I didn’t want her to see me until I was sure I could get her out of the palace without anyone finding out. It didn’t take long for me to find out that my stup
Harlyn“What happened again?” I asked him as soon as he dropped the call. He looked at me worriedly. Well, it was definitely bad.“He found it.” I stared at him in confusion.“He found another den of bears.” Of all the things I expected him to say, bears weren't one of them. Bears? For the Crimson Moon, bears were as unwanted as vampires and witches. They were the worst because of the history the Crimson Moon has with them. “What? In this pack?” I questioned even though I already knew the answer to that.“Yes, I found a map that day at the underground hideout of Sean and I gave it to him. That’s what he and Damien went to check out and I have to leave right now.” He explained and started walking away. “Are you going back to the Orange Moon?” I asked him. He turned around and shook his head.“No, I will call my pack to let them know just in case Theo shows up there and I will call my parents too. I am needed more here.” He told me and started walking away again. “Let me come
Harlyn “Why did she call you this time? Does she have new information?” I asked him. He nodded. “Okay, is it bad? Do you not want me to ask?” It was clear by his body language that he didn’t want me to know but I wanted to know. It was important that I know as I am the Luna and Queen of the Crimson Moon. If it concerns my kingdom, then it concerns me. Unless, maybe it’s not about my kingdom. Either way, I still wanted to know. “I would much rather speak to the king.” I resisted the urge to curse at him. Really? It wasn’t the first time he said something like that to me but for the first time, I felt offended. What did he see me as? Did he think I couldn’t handle whatever news it was? “You will tell me because it involves my kingdom and my people. I am Luna and I deserve to know. You have no choice!” I told him firmly. I could tell by his reaction that he didn’t expect me to react the way I did. “Lyn I sh---“ “No! Tell me. It’s a command!” I let out. I didn’t mean
Harlyn “There’s a handbook. I asked her and she told me she has a lot written down in all the years that she has known about her powers. She is willing to give all that she wrote down to you. She also wants to meet you but I told her that you can’t see her now. Hopefully, soon.” Hillan explained. I wanted to jump on him. I wanted to hug and kiss his cheeks. It was the best news ever. I really wanted something as some form of guide because right now, it feels like I am using my powers without knowing the depth of it. “I would love to meet her too and yes, I really need the handbook.” I told him enthusiastically. “I will have it sent down to the Crimson Moon by tomorrow.” “Wow, so soon?” I let out. He smiled and nodded. “Yes, I told you. I already asked her before. I was going to get it down here anyway. I just have to make a call and someone will send it over. It should arrive in two to three days.” I really wanted to hug him but I didn’t. Instead, I reached and touch
Harlyn I woke up the next morning alone. I was used to waking up alone now so I didn’t think much of it, I just went about my morning routine before breakfast. After the events of the past two days, I actually hoped that today would just be a normal day for me. I really didn’t want to deal with any negativity. I knew I was reaching out because as long as Theo and everyone associated with him and his father are still out there, there will definitely be negative things happening. I just hope it doesn’t affect those I care about and all the good people of the Crimson Moon. Even though I knew the chance of it being a peaceful day was low, I still made a mental note to make the most of today. I didn’t even notice Bernardo had left a note for me until I finished getting ready. I only saw the note because I went to pick up my phone from the bedside. I smiled when I saw the note. “I didn’t want to wake you because you were sleeping so peacefully. Out for my daily kingly duties and w
