LUNA GENTLE BOND Chapter 21
The steady hum of voice was what woke me up. I blinked my eyes a couple of times before everything came into focus.That's also when I registered the pain. I frowned, confused at first then everything came crashing down. The men at my cottage and the attack. The last thing I remember was hearingSebastian's thunderous roar.."She's awake."I turned to see Claire standing next to Sebastian. The look of concern was enough to tell me all was not well. Sebastian on the other hand just lookedimmaculate. No hair out of place.His usual cold mask on.."How are you feeling Renny?"Asked me.."Like I have been running over by an over speeding train... how long have I been out?"I knew we were at the hospital.The smell of antiseptic gave it away. I hated hospitals. They were mostly gloomy, sad and grief stricken.."Two days" Sebastian answered tersely. His voice gruff.."What the hell two days! And how come I'm still in pain.Shouldn't I be healed by now?" fired the question at no one in part

Lauren I heard the door open, and by the clean and circus smell, I knew it was Darren. I didn't bother standing up to welcome him home. What was the use? When I knew very well that he wouldn't appreciate it nor would he want me to. I was surprised that he had come home. I rarely saw him nowadays, and when I did, he either ignored me, avoided me, or lashed out at me. He would at times stay away for days that I would forget 1 have a husband. The ever-present pain in my heart is what constantly reminded me that I do have a mate. A mate that no longer wanted me. His footsteps approached the dining room. I sat at the dining table with a cup in my hands. I don't look up when his steps are near. I still don't look up when he stops a few feet from me. He throws some documents in front of me, and that's when I raise my head. "What are these?" I ask suspiciously, my eyes meeting his obsidian orbs. Just like every other time, we crossed paths. His eyes are cold, and his face is set

stared in doubt at the humongous house in front of me. I can hear the booming music playing somewhere outside. I could also hear the screams of children and they had fun. It was Krystal's eight years birthday and I hadn't been invited. I hadn't even know there was party. How pathetic is that? Not knowing your daughter already had a birthday planned? I had called Darren to ask him what I should plan. He angrily answered that Miranda had everything covered. That shouldn't bother coming because neither him not Krystal wanted me there. I was the one who always planned her parties, and it was always done at our home. But this year it was being held at Miranda's. Apparently Krystal had asked her to plan it. Because according to her I don't plan her parties the way she wanted them. They were always boring and ugly and It had hurt to know that Krystal had never liked or appreciated the work and effort I put in the planning. That it wasn't enough. That she hated those parties. I

I walked through the hallways of my almost empty Company. My best friend and I had built Ruby's collection from scratch. Ruby's had been flourishing. Had been among the the top ten fashion companies. Now it was crumbling. Darren had kept true to his promise to destroy me. My name had been dragged through the mud by magazines and gossip columns. I had been painted as the villain. The evil bitch that had come between old flames. The treacherous wife who refused to release the man that no longer wanted her. The sad and bitter woman who refused to let go. I have been called names. I have been cyber bullied. I have been painted worse than the devil. The good image I had in the human society had been destroyed. Majority of both humans and wolves no longer want to be associated with me. We have lost investors. Our profit are dropping drastically and employees are leaving us. No longer wanting to work for a monster like me. I was the devil while Miranda was an angel. I was the o

It's been a year since I fled from my pain. I had thought my wound would heal, but I had been wrong. I haven't healed. Neither had I found closure. Instead something darker had taken root inside me. As the Uber driver drives past the familiar streets. I'm reminded of why I had left this forsaken country in the first place. I'm reminded of the pain and humiliation I endured over one year ago. I'm reminded of Darren's betrayal. "I hated this city" Blue murmured in disgust. Echoing my thoughts. Within a minutes we are at the hospital. I pay him then get out. I stand for a minute. Watching the towering building. Calming myself. The hospital is for werewolves only. It was located a secluded area. We had werewolf government officials who helped us keep it under radar. If I were being honest, I hadn't planned on over coming back. But my godson had been diagnosed with a tumor. Camila had called me crying, afraid and hysterical. I would do anything for them. So when they both ask me to c

My new secretary enters my office with a stack of papers. A newspaper and a magazine are part of the stack. Then she quietly leaves after giving me my coffee. I have only worked with her for a few days. But she is honestly the best. She does her work efficiently. Arrives on time and she doesn't gossip which suits me fine. I picked the magazine needing a distraction. I have been cooped up in the office. Trying to catch up on work. The only time I leave was when I have to go get a shower and a change of clothes. Also when l'm visiting Mason. The front page was about me. I don't know whether to be angry at them or thankful because they are spreading the message. I'm no longer a doormat to be stepped on. "Lauren Smith is back and she's colder than the Antarctica' it reads. Below the headlines there was a picture of me slapping the guard. It then goes on to talk about what happened that day. Someone probably sold the story and image. The person was getting fired. Once I f

me and I'll push right back and trust me when I say, you won't like it when I retaliate." His says his eyes are cold and voice silky smooth.. He is calm but I know it a fucking facade. He is a beast underneath all that suit. Blue up for some odd reason. l ignored her though. She is enchanted by him, but I know he's a dangerous man.. "Where are you taking me? You do realize this is considered kidnapping right?" | ask, changing the subject.. I was treading on unfamiliar dangerous waters. One wrong move and I would probably end up in a situation I couldn't get myself out this mess. "I'm Sebastian Ashford, I own this whole damn city and I can do whatever the fuck I want Red." Shit! He was right. Darren is powerful but Sebastian was king of the city. No wonder Miranda had gone after him.. She was gold digging slut. Darren hadn't been enough for her. She had wanted someone more powerful. More prominent. With more money.. Unfortunately for me, I hadn't been enough for Darren.

"That's no going to work." I tell the man in front of me authoritatively. Smith," he replied immediately.Almost arrogant.I have been in this meeting for about two hours. We weren't getting anywhere. I was beginning to get important..I stare at William, the vice-president of Majestic Ltd. It was a textile company that Claire wanted us to partner with.."He's trying to rip us off," Blue mumbled, irritated..It was something I had already figured out. There was just something about the way he looked at me. As if he saw me as someone beneath him..Someone unworthy of leading a successful company. Like, I was dumb somehow, and he saw no problem with it over pricing us..My guess is that he was the type of man raised to believe women should worship the ground they walked on..That woman couldn't lead. Women couldn't become successful on their own. That was a woman's sole purpose is to do men's bidding and raise kids.That they were to be seen heard..I hated that type of stereotype. I hat

When I started getting close to home. Blue stars being restless.Prancing around my mind in agitation and nervousness.."What is it Blue?" I didn't like know how agitated she was cause it was making me really anxious."I don't know......l just sense trouble"The trembled in her voice makes me want to turn back around. I stop myself though. Assuring both of us that everything was fine..Everything wasn't fucking fine..The moment I drove into my driveway, I see why Blue was so anxious.. Standing on the steps to my cottage were three scary looking men I have never seen before..They were buffed up and they looked really mean. They looked like the type of men to scare little children just for fits and giggles..I got out of the car and their scent and their scent hit me. Fuck. They were werewolves. Their eyes which had been fixed on me since they heard my car, remained on me as I approached them.."May I help you?" I asked them once l'm a foot away from them..They looked at each other b
LUNA GENTLE BOND Chapter 19
Today I left the company early. I had too much on my mind to focus on anything. My mind was over the place and I couldn't get myself to concentrate on one thing at a time..I was currently in an ice cream shop, eating a big bowl of vanilla.It was my guilty pleasure and usually has a way of making me feel better. Making me feel grounded and relaxed..My mind was still on what Claire told me about Krystal. Also my upcoming prenuptials. I was worried that Krystal wasn't doing as well as I had thought. That Miranda wasn't treating her asbefore. I was also worried about how people will rest to me mating with Sebastian. How Claire,Krystal and even Darren's parents would react..I haven't talked to Darren's parents since I left a year ago and I haven't seen them since I came back. I would always love them because they loved me as their own, but having them in my life after what their son did to me would be too painful.."Lauren? Is that you?" A pause then. "oh my God, it is you" then an e

"If you have no more insults for me then leave. I would like to continue this dinner date with my man, which hopefully will end up with both of us sweaty on my bed," I said. Shoo, you are both dismissed."Miranda about to say something.One look from Sebastian shuts up though. She then grabbed and dragged a reluctant Darren away..Once they are gone. I released Sebastian and jumped away from him. We take our seats just as meals arrived. We ate in silence, each of us lost in our own thoughts. When finish I ask him the question that has been bugging. A question whose answer might break our deal."Did you know Miranda had a mate? When you took her as your own."I'm afraid of what the answer will be but l also need to know. No matter how desperate I was to get marked. I don't think I would be okay with the knowledge Sebastian took someone else's mate knowingly..He sighed before answering. "No I didn't. She had told me her mate had died. It's only recently I came to know that she fucking
LUNA GENTLE BOND Chapter 17
I quickly leave my seat and go stand behind Sebastian..I wasn't sure whether my actions would be appreciated but there was no other choice. I started to rub his shoulders. Trying to easethe tension I felt underneath them. Luckily for us, we were in a private section so there weren'tany eyes on us..I had expected him to shrug my hands but to my surprise he started to relax. I was actually happy to see this hatred for Darren and Miranda. Until that moment I not believe that he hated Miranda.."I asked you what you are doing Lauren" Darren's annoyance voice breaks my concentration..I turned to look at him and I honestly don't know why I fell for him in the first place. There was nothing that screamed special about him. Sure he was good looking and had a great body but that was just it. I must really have been desperate for a mate to choose him.. "What does it look like I'm doing?I'm having dinner with Sebastian" I sneer at him..I wish he would just take his white and leave. They

The waiter reaches us with a bottle of wine just as we take our seats. He gives us our menu and we end up ordering the same thing. Which is steak, soup and baked potatoes. I also ordered ice cream cake as dessert..After pouring us wine, she leaves with a smile.."So, what exactly are we supposed to be doing on this dinner date?" I asked while sipping my wine. I really didn't know what to do. Or what we were doing. I was nervous partly because of the possibility of paparazzi already following us. Also because of Sebastian. He was seated opposite me and the way he was staring deep into m soul was making me unstoppable.."We do what everyone does during a date. Get to know each" he answered," swearing his glass..Ilaughed at that. "I'm shocked that you don't already have a full file containing all my information."He smirked. "I ready do, but l'd rather hear it from the horse's mouth."I roll my eyes at that. I know it's a bit childish but I don't care. It doesn't surprise me through.T

I have never dressed as fast as I did today. Once I was done. I came out of my bedroom to find Sebastian seated on my couch. He had one leg over his lap, one arm over the back of a chair and the other had his phone. He was scrolling through something on his phone but I couldn't tell what.. I clear my throat. "I'm done. I hope this is okay" I say something to my dress.. I had decided on a simple but elegant red dress with black heels. I wasn't trying to impress anyone. So there was no need to go beyond.. His eyes slowly scan my frame. I swear, it feels like liquid fire everywhere his eyes touch. I shift on my feet suddenly feeling too hot. When was the last time I had been with a man? "A few weeks before Miranda came back" Blue tell me unhelpfully.. There was no denying that Sebastian was hot. And he was all male. A pure full blooded Alpha male. Giving I haven't had sex in a long time it was understandable that I would react this way towards him. Wasn't it? "It will do.... Let

The next day. One of his men arrived at my cottage with my car, phone and handbag. He also didn't say much. Just dropped off my things and then went on his merry way. I haven't heard from Sebastian since that day.That was three days ago.. "What time?" l asked, sweetly, when all I wanted was strangle him.."I'll be by your cottage at seven.Make sure you are ready by then.Don't make me wait" he answered before hanging up the phone..Bastard. I think to myself. Why does he have to be so arrogant and so bossy? I'm sure his dick won't fall if he asked politely...I checked my watch and frown. I realized it's already five o'clock.That only gives me two hours to get home and get ready.."Is everything okay?" Claire asked probably seeing my frowning face.."Yeah. I just to get going. Is it okay if we postpone this day? I know we need to catch up and we will but I have to go."Claire looked at me before finally nodding. I don't give her any more details. I don't even know how to begin telli
LUNA GENTLE BOND Chapter 13
I was even more shocked when she didn't hug Krystal. I know Krystal said some pretty horrible things to her but I didn't expect Lauren to react like that to her own fucking daughter..Krystal had cried her eyes out after Lauren left. Especially after Mason told her how Lauren told him stories of where she had been..Krystal had been hurt, convinced that her own mother truly hated. I will never forget the pain Krystal's eyes as she watched her mother leave. Leave her without so much as a hug or word to her.When I went to see her in her office. Her coldness almost froze me in my spot. For the first time since we met, I didn't know what to say to her..Her eyes were blazing with anger, hated and bitterness. Two emotions I couldn't associate we with her. She was never one to hate on anyone..There was something else in her eyes. Something that screamed danger. Something dark and twisted. I couldn't place it but it had no business being in her..I wanted to talk to her. Know how she was d
