Harlyn“Hey, ladies.” She announced as she made her way towards Sophie and I. While I stood where I was wondering how best to act, Sophie ran towards her older sister and hugged her close. I watched them greet each other and felt a pang of jealousy. I shook it off and focused on watching the sisters.They were years apart. If I remember correctly the older princess celebrated her fortieth birthday a couple of months ago so she was at least seventeen years older than the young princess but seeing them like this, they felt so close in age.“And who do we have here? The Luna who has been making waves even without officially becoming the Luna yet.” Leah announced, turning her attention to me. I felt shy because of the attention and how her smile widened when she looked at me.“Good day, your majesty.” I greeted. She laughed. “Your majesty? I am just a princess and a beta’s wife. You are Luna. If you call me your majesty then how am I supposed to address you?” She asked, her smile no
BernardoHer silence after I told her what I wanted almost made me uncomfortable. For a moment, she didn’t have any thought that I almost thought she kicked me out of her head but then I heard her intake of breath.“Bern, you don’t have to be jealous of that. We can be friends. You are my mate. Of course, we can be friends too. Hilan can’t compare. I don’t want you to ever feel like we can’t be friends.” She sounded like she was scolding me. and honestly, I should be scolded. I was in a meeting and currently tuned out of the meeting and in my mate’s head. all day, I thought of her and spied in her head and each time, she was busy with something or smiling about something. Even though there was a moment when I wanted to get back in my helicopter, drive to where she was, and give Sophie's friend a piece of my mind, my baby handled it well by herself.“Bern??” I heard her call out.“Yes, baby?” I asked.“Now that you know we can be friends, can you give me Hilan’s contact? I know y
HarlynI don’t know for how long the call with Hilan lasted but when I lifted my head, I saw Bernardo in the room with me. I didn’t even know when he got in and how long he had been there watching me. “Lan, I have to go. I will call you some other time.”I told him and hurriedly ended the call. I got up from the bed and stared at my mate who had an unreadable expression. I went over my conversation with Hilan trying to figure out if I did or said anything inappropriate while we spoke but I couldn’t remember doing anything out of normal. We had a normal conversation and mostly spoke about my soon-to-be Luna position.Hilan assured me that everything would work out fine and that I had the best mate. Which was shocking since they were rivals before I came into the picture. I thanked him again for saving me and made him promise to come for my Luna coronation day. I don’t know when it will be yet but I wanted him to be there and he assured me that he would be.“Bern. When did you arrive?”
Harlyn I bucked my hips again eliciting the most delicious growl from him. He lavished all his attention on my clit, licking, sucking with varied intensity. Building that hot all-consuming sensation inside of me. my thighs quivered, and every nerve in my body lit up. all it took was the brush of his sharp canine against my most sensitive part and I came undone.Star-lights burst behind my eyes as I convulsed beneath him but he didn't let up. his fingers continued to plunge in and out of me and he licked, sucked, and fucked my clit, building my orgasm. I don’t think it ever ended yet I could feel the pressure building. My muscles coiled with a tension that needed to be released.The next explosion came so fast and powerful. It felt like I was dying but of pleasure. I gasp, trying to catch my breath. He finally came up for air and had a smug and satisfied smile on his face. He didn’t stop for a moment, just pushed me further into the bed and came on top of me. claiming my lips with hi
HarlynWhen I opened my eyes again, I jumped out of bed because I felt like I had slept for so long. I looked around for my mate but couldn’t find him. A phone buzzed and startled me, it took a while for me to realize it was my new phone. I picked it up and saw it was a text from Hilan. I opened the text and my eyes widened in shock.“Baby, next time, consider ending the call first.”The text read. I racked my head to remember what happened after my call with Hilan ended and then almost jumped out of my skin when I remembered.“Oh fuck,”I let out and threw my phone on the bed. Did Hilan really hear Bernardo and I making love and how much did he hear? I could die of embarrassment right now. Literally. My whole face practically heated up in embarrassment when I thought of my savior listening in on me making love with my mate.I reached for my phone and dialed his number even while trying to talk myself out of it.“Hey, baby, good morning.”Hilan greeted cheerfully, I wasn’t particula
Harlyn“I was joking, I don’t ever want you to fight with Hilan or the Orange Moon pack.” I told him.“Good. I got you breakfast.” He said, which reminded me of the dinner we were supposed to have with his sisters last night that never happened because he didn’t wake me up when it was time. I pulled out of the hug, put some distance between us, and placed both hands on my waist.“Why didn’t you wake me up last night? We were supposed to have dinner with your sisters. Do you want Leah to hate me?” I fired at him. At first, he frowned in confusion but then he smiled when he realized. “Oh, Leah didn’t mind when I told her that you were sleeping.” “So you mean to tell me you went to have dinner with your sisters after putting me to sleep?” I asked. He nodded.“Is that a problem?” How dare he ask if it’s a problem. “Of course, it is a problem, your Majesty. Not only did you starve after draining me of my strength. You made me lose favor in the sight of your older sister.” I let ou
Harlyn “Lyn?” Bernardo called, I looked at him while trying to hide my sadness. Why was I feeling so sad and let down when I spent all my life alone and without family? I should be used to it now. I should even be thankful that I found my siblings at all. If not, I would have continued living my life as an orphan without knowing that I had two close-to-heart siblings who shared the same womb with me at the same time.I should take what I got and be happy with them times we are opportune to meet, it was still better than no having them in my life at all.“I guess I can’t hold him here. He doesn’t belong here anyway.” I let out. Despite telling myself not to be sad, I just couldn’t help it. I wanted to spend more time with him and get to know him.“He’s not leaving forever.” Bernardo added vital information almost too late. I shot him a disappointed look. He should have said that part first. It would have made me less anxious and disappointed.“Maybe I should have started with that
TheoI howled out loudly when I finally made it to the other side of the forest where I had hidden some getaway clothes the last time I ran in this direction. I quickly shifted back to my human form and looked around for the bag. Thankfully, I found it and quickly tossed some clothes on.I waited a while for the minor wounds I got from running through the forest all the way from the Crimson Moon borders to my current location. I had a goal in mind but from here onward, I will have to travel in my human form even though I wasn’t a big fan of my human form.That bastard. He may have thought he had gotten rid of me but I made sure he knew that I will be back. Yes, I will be back and no one can stop me when I finally come back.The Crimson Moon was mine from the beginning. His father robbed my father of his birthright and I refuse to let that fucker be king when it was meant to be me.“We will return.” My wolf growled. He had been against us leaving. He had wanted us to stay and fight bu
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
