Harlyn“You care about me,”My wolf chirped. “Of course, you are part of me,”I whispered. I wondered if my wolf knew I had powers. “I didn’t,”Figured. I thought when she answered. “With everything that has happened. I don’t know, I don’t want to hope too much,”“Wait. There will be a full moon soon. I am sure you will find out then.”Julia said in excitement. “Even if that happens, by then, I will be back in the Crimson Moon. If I take Bernardo back, we will have to go home,”I pointed out. “Yes, and? Is that a problem? We can always call each other. technology has advanced a lot you know,”She pointed out.“Plus, I can’t lose my favorite fan. I will kill Bernardo”She threatened and I laughed.“What’s funny?”We both turned to the door when we heard Hillan’s voice. “You need to stop sneaking in on people like some kind of ghost,”Julia scolded while I waved to Hillan who rolled his eyes at his twin sister. “I am glad you are okay, I really felt like a jerk for leaving you o
Bernardo “So, you didn’t think of going to see her again yesterday? You didn’t call her? how are you going to win her back if you are not making any move?”Damien questioned me. He just got here and he was already asking me questions. I had my reasons for staying away yesterday. I didn’t do anything or go anywhere. I was in my hotel room all day yesterday. I had a lot on my mind and I was sure Harlyn did too.“Well? Why aren’t you saying anything?”Damien asked. I shook my head. “Damien, she wasn’t pleased that I went to see her the day before yesterday. I gave her time to get used to the fact that I am still around and I plan on going to see her today. I already called Hillan to inform him.”I revealed. I expected him to nod in agreement or something but instead of doing that, he was staring at me as if I grew another head.“What? You are not cut out for this man. I feel bad for your mate. You are bad at this whole thing,”Damien said while shaking his head. “Why?”“You really wan
Bernardo “Yes, Your Majesty. Your woman is in her room. It’s up to her to welcome or throw you out. I told her that if she doesn’t want you here, she can throw you out. Damien. It was nice meeting you.”Hillan said. stretching his hand out to Damien who took it. Here I thought they were about to fight. Maybe I misread everything. Not that I gave it much thought, I just wanted to see Harlyn. “Be careful. I have to leave for an important meeting and my twin sister is at home right now. I don’t bite but she does,”Hillan warned us and walked by us. “Show yourself in. I hope you win if not then sucks for you,”Hillan called out when he entered his car. Both Damien and I stood there and watched as his car pulled out of the building. “Did you hear that? My mate might be inside this house,”Damien said and I glared at him. He was acting like he didn’t almost fight her brother.“I don’t think getting on Hillan’s bad side will be good for you,”I told him. “Bad side? We are cool. Let’s go
Harlyn I let out a sigh as Bernardo pulled me tight into the hug, feeling relieved that he was finally here. When he didn’t show up yesterday, I thought he gave up already and went back to the Crimson Moon. I waited for him the whole of yesterday, and even Julia had noticed that I was waiting for him. She suggested that I get his contact from Hillan but I refused. Hillan and Julia did their thing to keep me busy yesterday. When Hillan got back from work, he took me in his car and drove me to the house of one of the pack members who was ill and hadn’t been able to heal himself. At first, I was scared that I might not be able to do it but all I did was place my hand on him and wait for a few minutes and before I knew it, he got better. I couldn’t believe it. the fact that I was special that I was a healer. After that, Hillan brought me back to the house and promised to take me to the house of their pack Healer so that she could tell me some of the things I needed to know and I couldn
Bernardo “I am sorry, I know this was important to you but something happened back at Crimson Moon that needs to be addressed quickly,”Damien said when I got downstairs to him. even by just seeing how he was acting right now. I knew whatever happened was bad news. Julia asked to speak with Harlyn so she didn’t come downstairs with me but I was fine with that, I didn’t want her to listen to any bad news that Damien might have for me. I should be happy right now. Harlyn finally forgave me. She let me hug her. Let me kiss her. My heart had been full and then Julia had to come in and tell me Damien wanted to see me. I honestly didn’t think that Harlyn will let me off so soon but the moon goddess gave me a considerate mate and I was one lucky fucker. With everything that happened with her, she could have told me to fuck off but she didn’t and I promised myself that I would make sure she never regrets giving me a second chance. Right now, I have a pack and kingdom matters to deal with. I
Harlyn Bernardo was tense and so was his friend. They haven’t said anything to me just yet about why we suddenly had to return to the Crimson Moon but I already figured out that whatever it was. It was bad news. We were about to board the plane and I couldn’t help but think about how it was different now. I couldn’t remember how I arrived at the Orange Moon pack because I had been unconscious when I came in but the guards and the driver who had taken me out of the Crimson Moon drove me to the hotel where I had stayed and left me there and now, I was going back in the King’s private jet. What an upgrade.“Hey, baby,”Bernardo said. He reached for my hand. He had been on the phone earlier. I gave him my hand and looked at him. He looked so stressed out already which further proved that whatever was going on back home was bad. “Hi,”I said. I still wasn’t used to him being sweet to me but I already made up my mind to give us a second chance and part of that would be to get used to him
Harlyn“What is going on over there?”Damien called out. I looked his way and realized he might not have heard everything that we were talking about but he definitely saw his friend going crazy. I shook my head as I wasn’t sure that I wanted to tell him but Bernardo looked his way and beckoned for him to come over. “What happened?”He asked as he took a seat closer to us. “I am a fool, Damien.”“What have you done again?’ Damien questioned, looking at the both of us. Bernardo finally stopped yanking at his hair and told Damien what I had told me. I didn’t even know when he did it but Damien dragged his finger through his wrist and tossed it towards me. I looked at Bernardo and he nodded. When I looked back at Damien's hand, it was bleeding. He wiped the blood off with his other hand and looked at me. I wordlessly placed my hand over the place where he had injured and waited. When I removed my hand, Damien had a distinct look of wonder in his eyes. His mouth was wide open. He tried
HarlynTheo was stubborn and always getting in trouble. His pack was the smallest but the ones who got more in trouble. It was even crazier because his father who used to be the beta before he took over was a good man. I often wondered how such a man would birth a son like Theo. He always looked and acted like a rebel and at some point, there were rumors that he wanted to break away from the Crimson Moon pack. He was obviously summoned and he denied it. it had been all over the palace and that’s how I found out. “The more you talk about Theo, the more I think he might do something crazy if you don’t stop him,”Damien said. “Something like trying to go rogue?”I asked and Damien nodded. “He won’t dare. He won’t be the first to try and they all end up regretting it. he knows what kind of consequences awaits him if he ever tries something like that,”Bernardo growled beside me. I looked at him and he looked very much like the feared, powerful ruler of the Crimson Moon. His eyes met mi
Harlyn “Sure, I will do that once I arrive. I can’t believe your mate’s family members are the ones against him. Don’t they know the importance of family? I can’t imagine our aunts and uncles hurting each other. Our family have lived together for decades and still care about each other.” “Maybe because there’s no throne to fight for.” I said even though I knew that wasn’t a good excuse.“We have treasures, fortunes that go way back to centuries ago. We have generational wealth too yet no one is fighting.” “Tell me about our family's generational wealth.” I said with interest and Helaine laughed before diving into a story that got us talking for hours on the phone. I didn’t even realize how much time had passed until Bernardo walked back into our room looking worn out and ready to crash for the night.“Laine, I have to go. His majesty is back.” I told Laine who made a face that made me smile.“Are you picking your mate over me right now? I am your sister. Your blood. We met in th
Harlyn“It doesn’t matter.” I told Laine.“I know. It doesn’t. You will be just as gorgeous. Wait, even more gorgeous. Once the pregnancy glow hits you, you will be more breathtaking. I should watch out for my brother-in-law.” I laughed at her words and she laughed too. We both went silent and just stared wordlessly at each other for a minute before she spoke again.“I went to see our relatives and we talked about you. They are all so eager to meet you.” Same. I want to meet them too. All of them. I wanted them to hug me and welcome me into the family.“Me too.” I told her.“I found out something from our aunt and would like to try it out once I arrive back at the kingdom.” Helaine told me.“What?” “Triplet power. Apparently, the birthmarks that we carry aren't just there for fancy. Something is supposed to happen when we join hands in the right order.” I stared at her with interest.“In order?” She nodded.“Yes, in the order that we came out of mom’s womb. Harry, me and you.
HarlynI don’t know how long I slept after Bernardo left me in our room but when I woke up, it was lunch time so I had lunch alone in our room and then went right back to bed. I felt exhausted and knew it was a result of the strength I used to heal that bastard.I fell asleep again only after a few minutes on the bed and woke up to my phone ringing loudly. I reached for it and picked it up without looking. I placed my phone on my ear and almost lost the ability to hear when Helaine shouted out my name.“It's a video call. Move your phone away from your ear, your majesty.” I sat up immediately and rubbed my eyes to clear the sleep off.“Hi, Laine.” “Hi sleepy.” She greeted me back. She was wearing a lab coat which took off immediately. She looked so much like me that for a moment, I thought I was staring at myself. Even her smile. “That’s us!” My wolf chirped in. glad, I wasn’t the only one who thought so. It must be the sleep getting into my head. Laine went off the screen and t
Bernardo “I can’t imagine my father’s brother or his children fighting me for my position as alpha either.” Hillan added.“I can. My father’s brother almost killed my parents. If not for our Luna, he would have succeeded.” Damien chirped in, reminding me of the good deed Harlyn had done for his family. I smiled proudly.“That’s fucking sad,” Harry said and both Damien and I nodded in agreement. It was sad because families are supposed to have each other’s back. I wanted so much for my family to be that way. That's why I did my best to keep a close relationship with Sean and his family but that turned out to be my biggest mistake.“Guys! I think we should take a break. You guys go to your mates and have a good time and we will come back tomorrow, refreshed and ready to hatch out a plan to end things fast and clean so that we can go back to our normal life.” Hillan suggested. It was a nice idea so I nodded in agreement and then felt bad when I remembered that he didn’t have a mate
Bernardo“Bastard,” He was truly a bastard in many ways. How could he be so ruthless? My grandmother took care of him after his own mom passed away. My father became alpha king because he was more deserving. It was a unanimous decision and not because they stole anything from him.I still couldn’t bring myself to accept that that bastard killed my grandmother after everything she did for him. Lyn told me how disrespectful he had been towards her from the beginning.“Hey yo! King!” Hillan’s voice brought me out of my thoughts. I gazed at him in confusion wondering what he told me. He snapped his finger in my face as if to wake me up.“What?” “Where are you? Why are you glaring at the screen? We can go check it out if you want.” Hillan suggested. I shook my head. We have been through enough today already. No need to rush into some hideout without plans.“Is Theo still coming over?” I asked, remembering that the witch had said earlier that Theo was heading back to the Crimson Moon.
Bernardo“What do you mean why? You are the king of the Crimson Moon and you got shit to do.”“Yeah? But I am your mate and I got shit to do here.”I said pointing from myself to her.“Whatever you want to do with me can wait. The kingdom needs its king during the day. I will take the nights for now.”Wow, I couldn’t believe her.“What if I don’t want to leave you? After what happened, I don’t feel okay leaving you on your own.”She sneered at me.“I am not a baby and what happened before won’t happen again. You have a lot on your plate. The sooner you are done; the sooner we can spend more time together without you worrying. I am doing this for myself. Small sacrifice for the bigger enjoyment. I love you.”She added the last part and I couldn’t argue.“You are literally driving me away and doing it lovingly that I can’t even say no.”“You are right. Now go be king. I love you.”She brought my face close to hers and kissed me. I let her kiss me for a while before I took over and kisse
Bernardo“Bern,”Harlyn whispered my name. I looked at her, my only reason for still being sane after everything that I had just heard from her. If she wasn’t with me. If not for her presence. If I had been hearing the things I heard from her from someone else, I would have lost my sanity.Heck, I wouldn’t have even believed those words if they came from someone else. The fact that he was so fucking close to me. We ate together, we did things together for years and all those times, he was plotting to take over.No, even before I was born, he was already plotting. From the moment he found out he wasn’t going to be the next alpha king after my grandfather, he started plotting. His plans worked. At least halfway. He took out my father and many other pack members just to get what he wanted.If Harlyn hadn’t come into my life. If I had let her go and stubbornly not tried to look for her, I would probably have died, and not just me. Every member of my family would have faced the same fate.
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 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
