FIBI'S POV I jumped to my side of the bed, heat creeping up my neck to my face. What was he doing here so soon? Greg told me it would take about a month to conclude everything Diego wanted them to do.Then I saw how he was advancing slowly in the dim light. I hurriedly found the bedside switch and turned on the light. My embarrassment at the way he found me, changed into alarm in an instant, when I saw how his gray eyes had darkened.Breathing became hard work for me. What could he be so furious about? To the best of my knowledge, I didn't do anything that should attract the level of fury in his stare.Too late, I found out that I had misinterpreted. It wasn't anger that I was seeing after all. He drew me up with one strong pull, smashing me to his chest.For a few seconds, he stared into my eyes like he was trying to search my soul through them. I watched the pupils of his eyes widen with passion, while my chest thumped hard against his own. My entire skin tingled. I held his gaze,
FIBI'S POV The rain didn’t stop like I hoped it would. My whole body shook uncontrollably, and my teeth were clattering so much that I was scared for myself. Yet, I couldn’t take the risk of going back to my mother’s husband’s house.“He will kill us!” My wolf barked into my thoughts even as I was contemplating it. She was even more scared of that crazy man than I was. I scoffed sadly at my wolf. “At least you are not the one in the rain right now, bearing the brunt of the cold. Diego was your beloved husband, wasn't he?” She offered to come out for some time, to take the brunt of the cold and rain, but I brushed off the offer at once. I refused to shift into my wolf form, even though that would have brought me a little succor.The least I could do was to protect my wolf from the harshness surrounding my unlucky life. Hot tears kept flowing from my weary eyes. “I wonder how Mother was received by her husband after being away for so long.” I pondered aloud to my wolf, trying to dis
MANDY'S POVWhen my husband, Alpha Sebastian, brought Fibi into the pack house, my chest tightened. I couldn't breathe well again from the moment I set eyes on her. I was even trying to ask him what happened, but he behaved as if I didn't exist. He was too busy barking at the doctor to save her life. Imagine! He was more interested in a strange she-wolf than in me, his Luna, his mate. Fine, I was not actually his mate, but he didn't know that. He totally believed that he and I were fated mates. Yet, he obviously didn't think twice before bringing home another woman, without telling me about it. But what if the truth was already out? Did he really not know who Fibi was?I quickly mind-linked Father. My darling father who never hesitated to do anything for me. The reason I am Alpha Sebastian's Luna.“Father, Fibi is here!” I stated urgently.“What? How can that be?” He asked. He sounded as clueless as I was about the sudden appearance.“I don't know. He came back with her in the middl
SEBASTIAN'S POVThere was just something about this she-wolf that drew me in. And no, it wasn't just her sexy curves. Of course I had to get her treated since it was my car that knocked her down. But that was not the only reason I brought her home. I also felt this pull, that I just wanted to be where she was. I didn't understand it.In any case, I was ready to stay right there with her all through the remainder of the night. Thankfully, my doctor said she was only sleeping now, due to the medicine. She already regained consciousness and would be alright.Only then did I think of freshening up. I'd had a long day.I walked into my bedroom, only to meet Mandy there. She was obviously waiting for me. On any other occasion, I'd have been mad at her, I liked to have my space to myself. And I had made it clear enough to her that she could only share my space when I invited her. This time however, I let it slide.“You are in my room.” I stated the obvious. Of course I knew she would feel
MANDY'S POV Last night I had fallen asleep in a relieved mood, confident that Fibi was just an accident victim. I believed that my husband would send her on her way once she got better. This morning, I got a rude awakening, literally.My eyes flew open when something hit my head suddenly. I found myself on the floor. I was still trying to regain my senses when he flung the question at me: “Who are you? What did you do? Your scent is so repelling right now, you are not my mate!”That woke me up properly. “Huh?” I muttered. I rubbed my eyes with my fingers, hoping this would just turn out to be a bad dream.“Who the fuck are you? Because you're certainly not my mate. My real mate is downstairs right now. And she's more beautiful than you are.” He bellowed at me.Bloody hell. How could I have forgotten this part of the spell? Even Father didn't remember to warn me about this. Sebastian sounded like someone whose eyes just became open. And indeed, that's what just happened. He could now
FIBI'S POV I felt totally fine when I woke up, just a little groggy. But the essence of roasted coconut and fresh orange juice, filled the air all around me. It was the only thing I was breathing in.I turned to the man beside me. Isn't this Alpha Sebastian, our alpha in Sea Stone Pack? I wondered to myself. However the aura that surrounded us would not even let me concentrate on that thought.“Mate?” I mused aloud, at the same time when he declared it. Next thing, he charged out of the room. At first, my mind was upside down, understanding nothing. What just happened? Why did he leave suddenly? What a strange way to meet one's mate. And a strange mate too.But of course, I concluded in my mind, he would run away from me. My whole life had been one misfortune after the other, why should I expect differently in this case?I got up and went to the door, but two guards were there and refused to let me leave.“What's going on here?” I asked. “Am I a prisoner?”“No, this is just for your
FIBI'S POV“He’s here … Fibi… Fibi.. he’s here … get out of there … Fibi!” My mother was frantic, her voice sounding like a scared little child who was about to be caught stealing meat from her mother's pot.I jumped down from the bed at once and rushed out with her, to greet my father who just returned from wherever he went. I mean, it isn't as if he has a job. It's not that we fear him, we only fear the beatings and molestation we get from him on a daily basis.And if we delay one minute in welcoming him back home, he would beat us mercilessly again. While running to the main entrance door to meet with him, my eyes fell on the blue bruise close to my mother's left eye, and I almost burst into tears.“Leave the sentiment and add more speed to your feet Fibi!” My mother was agitated. I grunted loudly. “I regret having a father like him!” I muttered under my breath. I dared not say it out loud because we were already close to the door.“Welcome back… welcome …” My mother greeted him f
FIBI'S POV All through the journey with my father, I was scared and I kept wondering where we were going. His words cut through my musings. “You know you are not my child, right?” I froze in my seat. I was finally hearing the truth I suspected but tried to evade. No father would treat his child like my father treated me.My mother's earlier warning seeped into my brain. I then realized why she was worried enough to ask me to run.He turned away from the road before us, to spare me a glance. Then he broke into a long mocking laughter. It was like a knife had been plunged deep into my heart.“Your mother didn’t tell you? That bitch ... prostitute. She had you out of rape, my dear. Infact six men raped her and we don’t even know which of them is the father. When she became pregnant, I asked her to get rid of you but she refused. I ...”It was too much for me and I couldn’t hold it in anymore. I found myself shrieking like a wounded lion before bursting into pained tears.My father sto
