Chapter 84 Be the LunaAUTHOR’S POVGemma burned a hole into Gael's back as he stomped through the garden, cutting down every plant in his way. Even though he would never admit it, she can tell that many things around remind Gael of Nia. It's her delight that he attempts to destroy everything that does so. But then, it's becoming more of a menace.The only time Gael pays her attention is when he intends to have sex, just like before. The difference between now and then is that he no longer has concubines. However, she would have preferred if he had his concubines around.Just a few days ago, she caught him having an orgy in his study. It was so disgusting to see, and he was dead drunk. Despite everything, she must keep her head up and not forget the goal. Clearing her throat, Gemma plastered a smile and walked towards him. She kept her relaxed demeanor expression on; that seems to be the catch for Gael lately.“Is everything okay, Gael?” She asked in a low tone.Gael turned to her, st
Chapter 85 Finding Her FamilyNIA’S POVMy heart thumped as I stared at the envelope in my hand. Kingston kept his promise to help find my father's family if they were still alive. I wasn't sure how I would feel about it if we saw someone. But I found myself getting anxious from the moment Kingston told me he was on it.Now Kingston helped find them; I feel scared that they might not want me. No one wanted me as a werewolf. What reason do the humans have to accept me? I know they are family, but people can be peculiar.The sound of my phone ringing jolted me out of my reverie. I smiled weakly at the caller ID. “Hey, Kingston.”“Hey, you too.” He replied in a laughing tone. “Why do I feel like you are still staring at the letter instead of opening it?"I glanced around the room to be sure he wasn't there. “How do you know?”“I know you quite well, Nia. Also, I got a notification they delivered it. In that envelope, there are copies of your father's educational certificates and pictures
Chapter 86 The OrgyGAEL’S POVI coughed from sleep, and my eyes flared open. I sat up, feeling lost. I scratched the back of my eyes to be sure of where I was. Naked ladies littered the entire room. I rolled my eyes at the sight—another wasted night with strangers.For some reason, I can't keep any of them as my concubine. They don't interest me that much. I am much more keen on having different women to myself. I know there is something I keep trying to find among them; none of them is like her. They all try hard, but nobody can ever beat her perfection. And I hate that it has come to this. I want to forget everything that might be a fragment of her memory.Still, like a haunted mind, it keeps returning to me. I pushed past the lady who rested on me. I got dressed and stepped out. It's just a few minutes past midnight. I remember yelling at Gemma when she tried to help me up after drinking myself into a stupor. I don't feel sorry for that, and she knows better than to pull me away f
Chapter 87 Meeting Her FamilyNIA’S POV“Why do you look so pale?” Perry asked in a worried tone. “It's okay if you don't want to meet with her anymore. We can always reschedule or forget about everything.”I stared at my pale face in the mirror. I look like someone who has seen a ghost or is about to. I couldn't sleep a wink all night after I finally decided to meet. I have had so many negative thoughts so far, wondering if she might have had a particular picture of me in her head, and she ended up getting disappointed. Or, probably, I am the one who ends up breaking into a run. For someone driving from New Haven to see me, I believe she would have some expectations. I don't want to ruin it for her, so I must keep face.I shake my head, feeling woozy. My body hasn't been in the right state for days now, and I think it is my lack of sleep. “If I don't meet her today, I might pass out. I have been too anxious for this moment. I must get it over with.”Perry sighed, making her way towar
Chapter 88 She is pregnantNIA’S POV"You know I am still amused that a healer like you doesn't know that she is carrying a child," Perry noted, keeping her eyes on the road.I rested my forehead against the car window. We are just returning from the hospital, where Perry insisted that I get a thorough checkup and register for an antenatal. It turns out I am five weeks gone.According to her words, she intends to take no chances regarding my health. I wish there were a way for me to turn back the hands of time and forget that I ever met Gael. What will I tell my child when they ask about him? How shameful will it be to admit that their father banished me out of the pack because he concluded that I cheated? Even though I am innocent, they will never forgive me for being the cause of their father's absence."Nia? Nia?" Perry called out, shaking me. I heard her calling, but my mind was too slow to respond. "What are you brooding on?"I sighed, feeling heavy at heart. "What is there to no
Chapter 89 Demands of a LunaAUTHOR’S POVGemma blinked back the tears that stained the back of her eyes. She watched as the council members grumbled their dissatisfaction regarding Gael's decision to make her the Luna. Gemma wouldn't have expected them to say anything and suspects her father might be behind the brutal refusal. With her arms folded, she stared blankly at the wall while trying to tune out their voices. Gael, on the other hand, seems to be unsure of what he is saying, as he keeps raising his voice without making an exact point."Enough!" Ezra bellowed, slamming his hand on his table. He looked exhausted.Ever since he became the Beta, it has been from one troubled discourse to the other. It's almost like they don't have an Alpha. "Please, that is enough argument for a day. We have been at this for over two weeks, going back and forth like children. Let's end this and meet again after two weeks. I guess seeing each other every day to talk about the same things has result
Chapter 90 Moving onNIA’S POV"Are we opening this or not?" Perry asked impatiently.I am just as anxious to open the letter, but then I am scared of the result. What if it's not something that I would like? Many questions keep running through my head, and I am not very sure of the response that I want.Kingston huffed, "I think I will do you the honor. If we keep staring at it, it won't open itself." He says, snatching the letter from the table.With one hand rubbing at my growing belly and another in my mouth as I chewed off the nails. I exchanged a nervous look with Perry. Kingston read through the content patiently before looking up at us."You are related to Kylia and Catelyn, 99.9%." He announced.A loud gasp escaped my lips, and I thought my heart would rip out. I have a family. An actual biological family! It is unbelievable! Perry snatched the letter from him and read through it quickly."Oh, my goodness! It's all true. You have a family, girl!" She hollered."How are you f
Chapter 91 Gemma’s pregnantGAEL’S POVMy eyes lingered on the words of the paper. I glanced up at Gemma, whose face looked a bit different. I noticed the pace at which she breathed and the odd scent her wolf emitted. I know I should be excited, considering this is the news that the entire pack has been waiting for. I can't seem to feel it. Nothing feels appealing to me lately. I want to bury my head in the sand and not come out again."This is nice. I will inform the council about it, and we will proceed with the wedding." I said with low enthusiasm.Gemma's face fell. "but you don't look too happy."Her words seem to irritate me all of a sudden.“How else am I supposed to act? Jump around and howl because you are pregnant? It isn't my first, you know.""What do you mean by that? It's not your first, but it's mine. Shouldn't you at least show great concern?" She retorted.I gripped the bed sheets tightly. "One more disrespectful word from you, and you will be sleeping in the cell wit
