Bruno

The moon hung high in the sky, casting a silvery light across the pack house as I paced my room, frustration boiling beneath the surface. I just settled into a restless state when a soft knock echoed through the door.

“Bruno?” Freya’s voice drifted in, tentative but familiar.

I clenched my jaw, irritation prickling at my skin. “What do you want, Freya?”

“I need to talk to you,” she replied, her tone insistent.

With a heavy sigh, I opened the door, bracing myself for yet another conversation that would lead nowhere. Freya stepped inside, her expression a mix of determination and something I couldn’t quite place.

“Freya, it’s late,” I said, trying to sound more pissed than I felt. “You shouldn’t be here.”

“I know,” she said, her voice dropping to a whisper. “But I couldn’t wait.”

I leaned against the wall, arms crossed, and studied her. She looked different tonight—tense, almost fragile. “What is it?”

Before she could respond, a familiar scent hit me—Denera’s scent, lingering o

  • Her Revenge; Mated To The Faceless Alpha    Unexpected news from an unexpected source

    DENARA’S POV My eyes slowly fluttered open, a frown creasing my forehead as the world came into focus. A sharp wave of nausea rolled through me, and a debilitating headache throbbed at my temples, each pulse sending a jolt of pain through my skull. I groaned softly, regretting every sip of that wolfsbane alcohol. The memory of the night before was a hazy blur, filled with laughter that now felt bitter and mocking.As the fog of confusion began to lift, panic surged within me. Blinking rapidly, I tried to piece together what was happening, but reality hit me hard: I was seated on a rough wooden chair, and something cold and unyielding was strapped around my wrists and ankles. “How the fuck am I kidnapped?” I muttered, my voice hoarse and laced with disbelief. The weight of my situation settled in like a heavy shroud, suffocating me. In the dim light, I sensed another presence lurking in the shadows. My heart raced as I turned my head slightly, the familiar scent hitting me like a s

    BRUNO’S POV I walked out on her, the weight of my emotions crashing down like a tidal wave. Rage boiled inside me with every step I took, and all I could think about was Rockan. I wanted to kill him. I wanted to unleash the pent-up frustration that had been building since the moment I discovered Denera was pregnant with his child.The image of the mark on her neck haunted me, a permanent reminder of their reckless actions together. I had called the doctor just an hour ago to check on her—she was taking too long to wake up, and I got worried. Only to find out that she was carrying a child for the bastard who called himself head alpha. “Bruno!” The sound of my mother’s voice pulled me from my dark thoughts, and I groaned immediately upon recognizing it. “Oh goodness, yes, mother,” I replied, trying to keep my voice steady. “Follow me,” she ordered, her tone leaving no room for argument. I turned to look at her, and for a moment, my heart skipped a beat. Was it guilt I felt? Perhap

    Bruno’s POV “You guys are monsters, all of you,” I blurted out, disbelief flooding my voice as I stared at my mother, my eyes wide with shock. The disappointment coursing through me was a heavy weight, suffocating and bitter.“We did what we had to do—” she continued, her voice trembling.“And you see how that’s affecting me now?” I shot back, my frustration boiling over. “Is Freya in on this too?” The thought twisted my stomach. If they were so hell-bent on me dating Freya, maybe she knew more than she let on.“No, you were all kids back then. I promise you that it’ll work out,” she insisted, tears brimming in her eyes. I groaned, my frustration reaching a breaking point. “For goodness’ sake, mother,” I snapped. I couldn’t stand there any longer. Pulling the emotional card and trying to gaslight me was even more irritating than the decisions they had made in the past. “I need air.”“Bruno, wait!” she called after me as I turned to leave, but I didn’t reply. Fortunately, she didn’t

    Rockan’s POV The morning sun crept through the tall, arched windows of my castle, casting long shadows on the cold stone floor. I sat at the edge of my ornate seat in the council room, running a hand through my disheveled hair, exhaustion weighing heavily on me. Sleep had eluded me for far too long, and all I could think about was Denera.I summoned the council but they were yet to be here. “What is taking them so long?” I growled. Tyris leaned against the intricately carved door frame, arms crossed, concern etched across his face. “You need to eat something, Rockan. You can’t keep doing this to yourself,” he urged his voice a mix of worry and frustration.“I’m fine,” I snapped, irritation flaring. The anger simmering inside me was a volatile mix of guilt and fear.“Fine? You call this fine?” Tyris stepped closer, his tone softening. “This isn’t just about you. It’s about Denera. We need to find her.”Just hearing her name twisted my gut. I hadn’t stopped thinking about her since s

    DENARA’S POV I blinked awake, a dull ache pulsing through my head and radiating over my body. Panic surged as I tried to move, only to find myself firmly bound to a chair. The cold, hard surface pressed against my back, and my wrists felt raw from the silver-like ropes digging into my skin. Memories flooded back—the last thing I remembered was Bruno's face, twisted with anger before everything went dark.“Bruno,” I murmured, my voice barely above a whisper. The betrayal cut deeper than the pain in my head. My heart ached not only from the physical torment but from the realization that I had been taken—kidnapped by someone I once trusted. The words he said echoed in my mind. Why would a person hate her own sister so much that she would perpetuate her and her husband’s murder? I shuddered at the thought, my heart racing. I had always believed family was supposed to protect one another, not destroy. “Sevyn?” I called out softly, hoping my wolf would respond. It felt as if a heavy fog

    Bruno’s POV “Son, you have to hide, quickly!” My mother burst into my room, her face pale and fear-stricken.“What? Why?” I questioned, my mind still foggy from the alcohol. The haze was lifting, but it left a lingering confusion in its wake.“He’s here,” she announced, her voice trembling.“What? Who?” I was still piecing together the situation, my heart racing.“The masked Alpha,” she replied, her eyes wide with panic.“Fuck,” I cursed under my breath as I rose to my feet, adrenaline flooding my system. I rushed to the window, glancing outside to confirm her words. My heart sank as I saw him—Rockan, striding into the pack house like he owned the place, with Freya trailing behind him. The sight of her ignited a firestorm of anger within me. Betrayal coursed through my veins, making my vision blur. How could she? After everything we had been through, after everything I had done for her, she chose to stand with him. My world spiraled out of control, and the walls of my room felt lik

  • Her Revenge; Mated To The Faceless Alpha    Beyond control

    DENARA’S POV It was very noisy out there, the sound of war or gunshots? But why would anyone shoot guns so consistently? Unless it was something else, but my mind was too foggy to come up with anything else.“If you’re hiding her, you’re making a grave mistake. I won’t hesitate to tear this place apart.”I jolted awake, the harsh reality cutting through the fog of unconsciousness. My lungs burned as I forced air down, each breath a struggle. “Rockan,” I breathed out weakly, though I knew no one could hear me. He had come to find me, and tears stung my eyes at the realization. The weight of my situation pressed down on me, but a flicker of hope ignited in my chest. Determined to escape the dark corners of this room, I scanned my surroundings. The dim light barely illuminated the space, but I could make out the remnants of the broken glass that had earlier wounded me. Wounded me? I thought I had miscarried my baby.Bruno must have cleared the room, probably thinking I would use a sha

    FREYA’S POV “No!”My body moved on its own, a reflex born from instinct. Time seemed to slow as the world flashed before my eyes, each moment stretching into eternity. I could hear the chaotic symphony of shouts and struggles around me, but all I could focus on was the glint of metal in Bruno’s hand. The gun.I didn’t think it through. I just acted.In that split second, I lunged forward, my heart pounding in my chest. “No!” I screamed, but the word felt like a whisper lost in the storm of emotions swirling around us. The sound of the gunshot echoed, a deafening crack that shattered the tension in the air. I felt a sharp pain, a searing heat that radiated from my inside. It was a sensation that took a moment to register, the bullet found its mark, and it was me. “Freya!” I heard Denera’s anguished scream cut through the chaos, a sound that struck deeper than the bullet itself. I glanced over at her just as she launched toward me, her eyes wide with fear, her expression desperate.

    TYRIS POV“What exactly do you want?” Eva hissed.“I want you both to listen to me.”“Well, we’re not interested in whatever you have to say. Is that too difficult to comprehend? I couldn’t deny that I loved everything about Eva, even her shouting at me felt like it was everything I needed but Serena was already in the picture.Why the fuck did I fuck with Serena? Why didn’t I waif? Was it really the goddess’s fault or mine? But if I didn’t get Serena pregnant I probably would never have found Eva because Serena wouldn’t have left the packhouse and if she had done I wouldn’t have noticed her absence. Hell! I had to admit that it was the goddess’s fault not mine. The goddess was just being twisted and cruel to me for no good reason.“Can you leave my house now?” Serena asked, arms akimbo rolling her eyes “Why are you being so difficult, Serena?” I asked, letting my frustration get the best of me and I immediately regretted it, biting my lips for doing too much.“I know men have audac

    TYRIS POV “Did you just call her sis because she’s your sister or as friends?” I didn’t know when those words slipped out of my mouth. It was intended as a thought.“Yes. She’s my sister, my big sister. Do you know her?” Eva asked.I was supposed to answer Eva’s question, I knew I should but I got carried away, too carried away to think about what she asked. Rather I was mad at the moon goddess.I knew the moon goddess didn’t mean well for me when she paired Rockan and I to one mate but what I didn’t know was that she wouldn’t give up toying with my life after that.She made Rockan and Denara happy together only to make me suffer heartbreak unnecessarily. I don’t know what I did to deserve such callous treatment from her. But she was being extra mean and unkind to me.If she knew she had another mate for me why did she pair Denara and I together? Why did she make Rockan and I have one she-wolf as a mate? Why did she have to wait till I got another woman pregnant before making me meet

  • Her Revenge; Mated To The Faceless Alpha    Worse than complicated

    TYRIS’ POVThe sun peeked through the curtains, casting slanted rays of light across the room. I woke up early, the weight of yesterday pressing down on my chest like a heavy stone. Determination surged through me as I pushed the sheets aside and swung my legs over the side of the bed. Today was the day. I could feel it in my bones. I would find Serena and our unborn child.I had already lost Serena once, consumed by my pursuit of Denera, my first mate. The memories of that time haunted me; the choices I made had led to heartbreak and regret. Now, standing on the precipice of another chance, I couldn’t afford to be distracted by the unexpected appearance of Eva. She was a distraction I didn’t need, and her presence here made it all the more complicated. I had to push those foolish urges aside. As I dressed, I reminded myself of my purpose. Serena was out there somewhere, and I would find her. I had no room for anything else—not now. Once I was ready, I stepped outside into the cri

    EVA’S POV Oh my God!“No, no, no, no, no!” I screamed at myself, gripping the curtain in front of me as if it could somehow shield me from the whirlwind of emotions swirling in my mind. My heart raced, pounding against my chest like a drum, while I tried to process what had just happened. “Is there a problem here?” Amanda walked in, her eyes narrowing with suspicion as they flicked over me. I stood upright, forcing a smile that felt more like a grimace. “No, no ma’am,” I replied, nodding abruptly before turning away, desperate to escape her probing gaze. Mate…He was my mate.The realization struck me like a lightning bolt, and my breath caught in my throat. How could this be? Just moments ago, I was going about my mundane life, managing the inn and taking care of my responsibilities, but now this? I could still see him clearly in my mind—the man with the chiseled jaw and broad shoulders, his hair dark and tousled frame, a face that seemed carved from stone. His eyes, a striking

  • Her Revenge; Mated To The Faceless Alpha    A dilemma

    TYRIS’ POV I gritted my teeth and clenched my fists, fighting the overwhelming urge to inhale deeply and drown in her essence. My heart raced, a mix of excitement and fear coursing through my veins. I had never expected to encounter my mate here, in this bustling inn filled with strangers and stories. “Hi?” Eva asked, her eyes sparkling with curiosity. She seemed to have noticed my turmoil but maintained a very composed demeanor. “Is this your first time here?”I looked up, struggling to find my voice amidst the chaos in my mind. “Yes, just passing through.”“Ah, a traveler then. You picked a lively spot. The Silver Moon Inn has its share of stories,” she said, her smile infectious. “Yeah, I can see that,” I replied, my mind racing. How was I supposed to go along with this? I had come in search of Serena, and here I stood, confronted by the very essence of fate itself. My mate was standing before me, a distraction I had never anticipated. “Are you okay? You look a bit pale,” she s

    DENARA’S POV “Rockan…” I called as I sluggishly pulled my eyes open and saw him sitting right next to me on the bed holding my hands in the most assuring way ever.“I’m here little mate. I’m here for you.” He assured me and sealed it up with a forehead kiss.I closed my eyes and smiled. “Thank you babe.”“You shouldn’t do that. I live for you.” He kissed the back of my hand and I smiled, opening my eyes to touch his face, and that was when I saw them…“Luna Danielle! Adrianna?” I looked at Rockan searching his eyes for answers but was too impatient to wait for the answers. “What are you doing here? Am I dreaming?”“You think you are a super-shewolf right?” Adrianna rolled her eyes at me as she hugged me.“Denara, you scared us.” Luna Danielle complained.“I’m sorry… I’ll be careful next time.“Why did you bother to bring them back?” I mouthed to Rockan.“Would you have preferred he let you die instead?” Luna Danielle, whom I didn’t know was reading my lips, replied.“I wouldn’t have

    ROCKAN’S POV I rushed outside to see my people being injured and hurt, probably killed by some hoodlums from the goddess knows where.The attack was so secretly arranged that my guards and sentinels were caught unaware and some of them also suffered from the attack.As soon as I got to the scene, my first instinct was to morph and remove all the attackers' heads from their bodies but there were younger kids and women here, some who might be pregnant and seeing a gory sight might be harmful to them.And most of all, I could feel and smell her… Denara, my mate, was here too. She didn’t wait inside like I instructed her to and I wasn’t surprised. It wasn’t like I expected her to stay inside in a situation like this. She was a Luna, a strong one at that.The only way to salvage the situation without making it overly dramatic was letting out my alpha aura to overpower them and that was exactly what I did.I closed my eyes and let my alpha aura flow through me and out in anger. The ground

    ROCKAN’S POV “You killed my son.” The crying woman pointed at me accusingly.The guards rushed over with the intention of dragging her out but I signaled them to let her be.“But alpha, they are disrespecting you.” Someone from the crowd shouted.“They’re grieving.” I simply replied. The people didn’t bother to hide their shock at what I said and they started murmuring among themselves.They were probably surprised at my sudden change and how I was now caring and being understanding, which wasn’t very typical of me.Somehow I understood what it felt like to lose a child after Denara miscarried our baby. It wasn’t even a child yet, we hadn’t seen or felt the child or even knew it’s gender yet we felt this much devastated how much more a parent that lost a full grown adult.I felt bad for them but that was it, the mother would have prevented it from happening but she didn’t, rather she left the house in the middle of crisis and chaos for the goddess knows what and I did my best to not

    ROCKAN’S POV The elders and the people stood up and bowed as soon as I entered with my mate and remained that way until we had our seats. I made sure Denara sat down first before joining her.“You may now sit.” I said and the people obeyed. Though the seats were not enough for the crowd.“Why are they so many? It feels like all the pack members are here.” I mindlinked Denara and she smiled at me.“They’re worried about their alpha.” She simply replied.After waiting for the goddess knows how long for someone to say something and no one did, I cleared my throat and started, “thank you all for coming and for your support when I was having a hard time.”The people started whispering and murmuring among themselves. That was when I realized they were still in shock of seeing me without my mask.I was already tired of the stares and the expressions I got. I didn’t know the people were so eager to see my face. What for? I wouldn’t be bothered if I were in their shoes though.“Yeah right.” M
