Harlyn It felt like my head was going to split in two, not just that, I felt like I had been floating and now I was starting to sink. I tried to open my eyes but I couldn’t because I felt like if I did, I would actually die. Also, I felt like if I kept my eyes closed, I could die. It was a war deciding what to do and my headache didn’t help the situation. I tried to remember what happened to me that my head was aching this much. But I couldn’t recall anything and slowly, I let the darkness swallow me again and when I got myself back, I was back in Bernaldo’s room. I looked around, wondering how I ended up in the alpha king’s room and on his bed. I was naked, I sat up just as he walked in. “Bernaldo,”I called out. It was the first time I would ever say his name out loud. I didn’t know what gave me the mind to call out the name of the alpha king and he didn’t look pleased about it. “What are you doing in my bed and why are you still naked?”He yelled at me. I quickly got up and out
Harlyn“Your brother saved me? The Panthers?”I breathed. Unless he was super strong, there was no way he would have faced eight panthers on his own and won but then again, he was an alpha, and alphas were known to be very strong and mostly unbeatable. “He did and I think I should let him explain what had happened because he didn’t really tell me much. He doesn’t speak that much. What’s your name?”She asked. “Harlyn,”I managed to say. She smiled and nodded. “While you speak with Hillan, I will have the chef make something for you. What do you like?”She asked. I didn’t really have anything that I liked, not that I had much choice in what I ate back in Crimson Moon. We always eat whatever the chefs make for the day. I didn’t have any allergies or dislikes. “Anything would do,”I said and looked down at my clothes, I was wearing a robe which meant someone had helped me out of the clothes that I had been wearing last night. Now I wasn’t even sure if everything happened last night.
Harlyn I cried in his arms, feeling sorry for myself as my mind went over everything I went through in the last few days. my life has never been great but it wasn’t as bad as it got the past few days. cried for what I had thought would happen once Bernaldo marked me but didn’t happen. I cried for the only home I knew that I might not be able to go back to. And the kind alpha who saved me and gave me a second chance to live patted my back softly while I cried. “I am sorry, I shouldn’t be crying on you.”I said and pulled away from his arms. “It’s okay, I figured what happened to you must have been bad for you to start crying because I asked. If you don’t want to tell me then you don’t have to. You haven’t eaten for two days, I think you need food,”He said and put some distance between us. I didn’t know him all that much but he was the first person to treat me like a normal person for the longest time. “Thank you, for saving me and for letting me stay with you. I promise, I will be
Harlyn“Thank you,”I whispered and took the spoon he held to me. My stomach rumbled for the lack of food. I took a spoonful of the rice and also took from the soup. I was so hungry that I didn’t stop eating until I finished the full bowl of rice that was given to me. “Do you want more?”Hillan asked when I finished eating. He watched me eat. I don’t know how I was even able to swallow with him watching me. I guess I was too hungry to think about that. “No, I am full, thank you for the food and for letting me stay here. For saving me. Heck, I have a lot of things to thank you for,”I said. “We are cool. Now, we need to go say hi to my mom and dad, especially my mom,”Hillan said and I nodded. I knew it was rude of me not to acknowledge her greetings and friendliness earlier. “Thank you for the food,”I called out to the chef who waved at me before Hillan reached for my hand again and we both exited the kitchen. “Mom, Dad? Helen? She wants to say hi,”Hillan called out when we got
Harlyn “Stop making things up, all I said was I am going to send the helicopter to the healer’s house if she doesn’t wake up,”He said. The fact that he thought of doing something like that for me even though he didn’t know anything about me just showed me how much of a kind alpha he was. The only kind of wolf that she should be an alpha. Someone who cares about everyone whether they can shift or not. “You didn’t trust me,”Helen chirped. “Well, do you blame me? You have a medical license to handle humans, not shifters. “I don’t shift,”I said in a low voice but they heard me anyway and all eyes turned in my direction. “That doesn’t make you any less of a shifter, darling,”It was their Dad that spoke. “In our pack, every shifter is welcome. It doesn’t matter if you shift or not. You are one of us and you will be treated as one of us. I don’t know what happened to you but know that you have a place here in Orange Moon.”He told me. “Thank you, sir,”I said. “Would you look at
Bernardo I was slowly losing my mind as the days went by without any sign of Harlyn. I have looked everywhere. I found the guards who took her away and questioned them. I sent them to the hotel with other guys with my jet and they came back empty-handed, she was no longer at the hotel. I didn’t believe them so the next day, I got on the jet and went by myself. I met with the hotel management and we checked their CCTV but nothing. She left the hotel and never came back. I left there in a very bad mood. There was no lead, I didn’t know where to start looking for her. She had a phone but she left it in the palace because my sister had sent her away without letting her pack. Sophie knew better than to let me see her in the mood I was in. I was surprised when I asked about her and the guards told me she left the palace. She did well because I don’t know if I would have been able to stop myself from punishing her. I got to know all the things she and her friend Ava have been doing to Harl
Bernardo “You are still being insulting and I don’t like that, I knew her father before he died, he was a well-respected man in this kingdom and he died protecting the pack, a Zeta’s daughter shouldn’t have to go through what you put that girl through just because she doesn’t have a wolf,”Damien and I have been best friends since forever but this was the first time he looked so angry talking to me, I should have been the one angry because someone tried to insult my mate but I was the one doing the insulting. I felt like a fool. I am a fool. Only a fool would let their true mate be sent out of his pack.“I am a fool,”I voiced.“I am glad you know that, because I would have told you the same. I can’t believe I returned after seven years away to your mess,”Damien said. I kept thinking about what Damien said. a zeta’s daughter. Her father had been a great warrior and protected the pack. Her father and my father had died together. While I had it easy because I had Grandma and my siblin
Bernardo “Let me think,”I said as I tried to focus once again. I closed my eyes and listened to Damien’s voice and he guided me.“Try to think about her and focus on trying to get into her head. Hear what she is thinking. That might lead you to find her,”Damien said. I don’t see how that’s going to work because it was just me in my head, plus my angry wolf who was currently not helping with all the scowling. “You know if you keep quiet and let me think we might find her sooner. You are not the only one suffering, I am too,”I scolded. “I am going to assume you are talking with your animal side, even though I don’t get why you talk out loud when you can talk in your head,”Damien said. “Sorry, I am so used to talking out loud to him,”I responded and went quiet again. my wolf finally cooperated and let me think. At first, my head was blank and I was starting to think I was doing it all wrong but then, something flashed in my head. I knew it wasn’t me or my wolf. “I think I got h
