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
Harlyn I woke in a bed. I jerked up in fear. Two strong arms wrapped around me, holding me in place and I almost screamed out in fear until I heard Bernardo's voice.“Lyn, hey. It’s me, don’t be scared.”He told me and I breathed out in relief as the event that happened a while ago came rushing back to me. I fell asleep inside the helicopter and must have missed our landing. He must have carried me back to our bedroom.I didn’t get any sleep last night after what those bastards had knocked me out with fazed off. I leaned into Bernardo, feeling relieved that I was no longer in that place. His warm arms wrapped around me reassuringly. I felt safe in his arms and closed my eyes again letting the familiar feel of him envelop and surrender me.“Bern.”I whispered his name after a while. I have so much to tell him about the things I found out from Sean but I don’t even know where to start from. Where would I start listing the things that evil losers did? There was so much that he should be
HarlynDenial.That was the emotion he settled for. He didn’t want to believe it and I really wanted to tell him that I was mistaken but I wasn’t. Sean said it himself and I saw the flashes of his plans too and how he went about it.“I am sorry, Bern.”I told him when I saw how the news affected him. He shook his head and held my hand again.“It’s not your fault. It's just that, I never thought he would go that far. Grandma didn’t like him. I was the one who went out of my way to get them to meet. I should have listened to her. She raised him. She knew him and yet I didn’t listen and because of me, he got close to her. Close enough to do something to her.”He lamented bitterly. I hugged him, wanting to give him all my strength and take away his pain.“It’s not your fault.”I tried to console him but he wasn’t having it.“You know damn well that it was.”“No, it wasn’t. I am sure he would have found another way. He had his eyes set on her and everyone in the royal family who wasn’t on
Harlyn “You guys can go if you want. I will wait here with the twins.” Leah told the ladies who took the chance to leave. “They are going to spread the news that I have an identical twin.” I told Leah and Helaine. “How do you know that?” I smiled knowingly. “I just know.” I said with a laugh. “You look really pretty.” Helaine complimented. “I look just like you.” I told her. “No, not right now. You look like an elegant version of us and it really suits you.” I smiled at the compliment. We didn’t even get the chance to talk much because my mate walked back into the dressing room. “Oh, the royal couple, coupling.” Helaine cheered when she saw Bernardo. We must have unknowingly teleported our dress code because he was wearing a similar color-coded attire. Navy blue and white. He looked very kingly with the crown on his head and the staff of office in his hand. I don’t know about others but I was completely smitten by him and if I wasn’t already so in love with him, I wou
Harlyn “It looks so good on you, oh my goodness!” I did a three-sixty turn for her and laughed when the women cheered. “I know a secret.” Patricia let out and the three of us stared at her curiously. “Tell us,” Leah told her when Patricia didn’t speak. She smiled. “I don’t know if you will believe me but the queen mother had the dresses remade for her.” She said and pointed at me. I stared at her in shock and confusion. There’s no way that’s true. “You are joking, right? Harlyn became Luna not too long ago and my grandma has been gone for over a year now. She died way before the alpha and Harlyn got together.” Leah said and I nodded in agreement. It just didn’t make any sense. “I am not joking or lying. The queen mother knew you would one day be queen. At least that’s what she kept telling us. If you don’t believe me then you can ask the other worker, though she has stopped working at the palace. She knows, everyone who worked close to the queen mother knew.” I didn’t know
Harlyn “I know and I am grateful for it. Only you can make him agree to something like that and I am truly happy that he found you now. The side of my baby brother I see every day these days even with everything going on pleases me and I have you to thank for bringing that side of him out.” There she goes again with all the thanks as if mating with Bernardo didn’t change my life more than it did his. “I am glad too.” I told her because I didn’t want to argue his importance and just what mating with him has done for me. I am sure Leah already knows that. “Okay, let’s get you dressed. Ladies, let’s see what you got.” Leah called out to the two women who quickly started pulling out things that they had come up with. Leah pushed me gently into one of the chairs in the huge room and made a stay-put gesture before walking over to the women. I glared at my reflection in the mirror in front of me. I have seen myself in mirrors lately but every time I see myself, I see a whole new perso
Harlyn “Why do you look so in shock? You are the queen now, that’s yours.” It felt surreal. Everything in that room screams luxury, expensive and some of them very vintage. Even the queen mother only used that room when it was really important that she show up as queen and now, that place will be mine. It felt too huge to be real. “I don’t know, Bern. It feels like I will be stepping into a place that isn’t mine. Can’t I just get dressed in our room?” I asked him. “Sure you can any other time but it’s important that you show up in traditional crimson moon royal attire as the queen.” “But I am not queen yet.” I pointed out. “Oh, but you are my dear. The day I found out that you were my mate was the day you became queen of the crimson moon. Coronation is just to make it ceremonial.” Now why do I suddenly have doubts when I was the one who insisted that I want to stand by his side? I let out a deep sigh and nodded. I didn’t want us to waste more time. “Call her.” I told him.
Harlyn“Baby? It’s time to go!”I opened my eyes when I heard Bernardo’s whispers and blinked to clear sleep off my eyes. I must have fallen asleep while waiting for him. I don’t even know how long I slept. The last thing I remembered was reading through the PDF that Hillan had sent to me.“What time is it?”I asked Bernardo as he helped me up.“Past four pm,”He told me and helped me fix my hair. He had a look on his face that I didn’t like.“Did something happen while I was sleeping?”I asked him with concern. He smiled and shook his head but I wasn’t convinced. I looked around his office and it was just the two of us.“But you don’t look okay.”I said and reached to caress his face. He touched my hand and held it against his face.“I know. I am just in my feelings. I guess even though I passed the judgment, I hate to see it happen but I have to be there.”I understood immediately and pulled him into a tight hug.“Oh baby, but you don’t have to be there. You already did your part, r
Harlyn“You finally showed up, I thought you were really going to take the whole day off.”Damien said when we walked into Bernardo's office.“Oh Luna, you came too?”I smiled and waved at him.I never said that I was taking the day off, I just said that I wouldn’t rush to the office. I deserve a break don’t I?”He asked Damien while walking me further into his office. I haven’t been here since the renovation after what happened with Sean. I can’t believe this was where it all really started. Thank Goddess that he called me into his office that day. Even if I hated meeting that uncle of his, the meeting still helped expose him.“Thank goodness that you are here because I was about to take over your office and make new laws for Crimson Moon. Your assistant has been looking at me funny all morning.”Damien said just as Bernardo’s assistant walked in. he bowed to the king and me.“Is that my schedule for today? Why does it look so fucking scary? I told you to use a tablet! I hate seeing
Harlyn “Let them, I mean, it’s not like I did anything wrong. It’s better than being an orgy king.” I burst out laughing. I couldn’t stop myself. Did he get a lot funnier or am I just too blinded by love to think straight? Either way, I love this side of us. Glad we can make jokes about everything. My eyes met the staff and I realized I laughed at something he said through our mind link which made me laugh awkwardly. “Are you really going to keep talking about that orgy thing?” I thought as he pulled me along with him out of the dining room. “Yes, for as long as I live it will haunt me and I will haunt you with it.” I shook my head at him. “Okay, you can do what you want but just know that they are still going to tell on you.” I reminded him. “And I said that I don’t mind. If not, I would have had them sent to the dungeon and threatened with being beheaded if what happened ever gets out.” I stopped walking and stared at him. “What?” He asked out loud as if he didn’t just
Harlyn “Good morning my beautiful Luna.” I smiled when I heard the familiar voice. For the first time in a long time, I woke up to my mate in bed with me. His morning voice was the first thing I heard in the morning and I can’t remember the last time it happened. It made me emotional. “You are still here.” I whispered and blinked to make sure I wasn’t dreaming. Usually, he would be out of bed before I woke up and out doing his kingly duties. “Yes, I am still here. I have a lot to do today but I don’t feel like leaving our bed yet. There’s no need to rush. Did you sleep well?” He asked and kissed me on the forehead and that also made me emotional. Morning kisses. I get forehead kisses in the morning again. It felt refreshing in a lot of ways. “I slept better than I have in a while and it feels extra good to have you here with me. I can’t remember the last time I woke up to you in bed. One of the many cons of fucking the king.” He frowned at my choice of words. “Fucking?” He
Harlyn “I did? I don’t feel like I did anything, your sister did all the work. I only gave orders.” Here he goes again, downplaying what he has done. We were really made for each other since we are very good at downplaying what we do. I wasn’t about to let him get away with doing it this time. I placed a finger over his lips. “Don’t say that. You did well today and I am super proud of you.” I told him in a firm voice that left no room for disagreement. He smiled and nodded. Then he let out a sigh and finally set me down. He didn’t let me go completely. His arms remained wrapped around me while we both stared at each other. I reached and caressed his face. He looked so drained. “Have you eaten?” I asked him. he nodded. “I ate with Damien. He is very good at keeping me in check. Also, he said you might kill him if you find out about what he let me do. I told him that I would snitch.” Even tiredness didn’t take away the funny side of him. I love that for him and me. “What did he
