Mate to One, Luna for Two 53.UNFAIR PLAY.
TRISTAN’S POV“Before we conclude, I have a few conditions to add."Declan gave me a suspicious look, as he leaned back on his chair. "A condition? One would think I am the one in need and not the other way," he smirked.I ignored his remark and continued. "Once the pack becomes yours, I want you to leave the pack affairs to me. I know what's best for the pack and I guess that is the only way left I have to protect it."Declan stared at me for a moment before he broke the silence. "Would that be all?""Also, I need you to give me a few days to get the pack ready.""I was expecting some big conditions per your excellency," he chuckled. "But we can work with that. Once you are ready to sign the deal, we will call for the alliance meeting to best our witness, and to be fair." He said and I nodded.Declan? Play fair? Those are two words that can't sit together."I'm guessing everything is now up to you then," he said with an arrogant smirk."That being said, can I check on Dame before lea
Mate to One, Luna for Two 54.DAME IS ALIVE.
VANESSA’S POVI stood there in shock, unable to comprehend what he was talking about. Hand over his pack? I knew how much the pack and the people meant to him. The way he made it sound like it was not a big deal made me realize just how much he was hurting inside."Who are you handing over the pack to?" I found myself asking that when at least a thousand questions were running through my mind."Declan," he said, and I felt something break inside of me. Why does it have to be Declan of all people? Why is fate playing such a risky game with me? There is no way I could stay hidden anymore if Declan took over the pack. Just how long do I have to shudder at the sound of his name?Tossing my pride aside, I began to beg Tristan not to let go of the pack to him. "I know this might sound unreasonable, but is there nothing that can be done? Maybe you can borrow money from the other Alphas… and anything, just to ensure that you don't hand over the pack the pack."I did not want to sound despera
Mate to One, Luna for Two 55.TAKE ME TO HIM.
VANESSA'S POVI stared at him for a while, trying to detect if he was kidding me but his expression won't sell him off. No, he is kidding. I know Tristan… if Dame was alive he would have told me the second he found out. He wouldn't hide it from me."If this is some kind of a joke, just drop it. It's not funny," I warned, but his expression remained the same."No, it's not. Dame is alive, and I am sorry for not telling you earlier." He muttered and I shook my head.He can save the excuses for later, he is taking me to my son right now! I paced around the room trying to figure out how to react before I spoke. "Take me to him. Wherever he is, I want to see him right away." I said, already going to the door when he pulled me back gently."You need to calm down," he said, his voice laced with concern as he stared at me."I'm calm… all I am asking is for you to take me to my son. I promise I am neither angry nor sad. I am very calm." I said, but I was the opposite of calm.I feel agitated,
Mate to One, Luna for Two 56.SPLITTING IMAGE.
DECLAN’S POVIt's been over twenty-four hours since Tristan left and I have been expecting a reply from him, but there was none. Did he change his mind? He looked a little determined when he came here, though. Tristan is not the type to change his mind that easily.Unable to push the thoughts aside, I brought out my phone contemplating whether I should call him or not when Jude pushed the door open. I will probably look desperate, I shouldn't call him first."What is going on in your head? You seem to be pretty worried," Jude smirked."Do you think Tristan has changed his mind? I mean, he looked so desperate when he was here yesterday, but his silence is pushing me to the edge." I said frustrated."Declan…" Jude dragged out longer than usual as he heaved out a sigh. "I think you need to exercise a little patience and stop overthinking this." He muttered."Tristan is…" I was saying when Jude cut me off."The decision he made is not an easy one, and it is obviously going to be hard on h
Mate to One, Luna for Two 57.THE SIGNING.
TRISTAN’S POVAfter spending the entire day beating myself up on the inside, I finally sent a text to the alliance, informing them about the agreement Declan and I had come up with."How are you doing?" Bruce asked as he entered my room."It doesn't matter," I sighed and he nodded."Have you called for the people's attention?" I asked as I dressed up."Yes, most of them are waiting outside, eager to hear what you have to say.""Thank you, Bruce. I will join them shortly," I said, and Bruce went back to the people. I don't know what I would be without him constantly helping me.Today is the day I have been dreading. The day I would be handing over my pack to Declan. The random thought of it was enough to make me sad, but this is not the time to be dwelling in self-pity. I need to address the pack members for the last time as their Alpha.After consoling myself for the umpteenth time, I went to join the people outside. "Good day, everyone," I greeted them and greeted them back. "Alpha,
Mate to One, Luna for Two 58.A DIFFERENT VANESSA
DECLAN'S POVThe meeting ended and it was finally time to sign the deal. I asked Jude to bring in the papers I left on my table, and he came back a few minutes later, with the documents ready to be signed.Anxiety was written all over Tristan's face and for some reason, it brought me comfort. I love seeing him like this… in distress."Before we begin, my Luna is waiting outside, and she needs to be here for the signing," Tristan said, and I almost laughed at how much he was trying to stall for time.It doesn't matter, everything will be over in a few minutes. The Alphas looked between themselves and nodded at his request."Sure, bring her in." Right on cue, the door cracked open, gaining everyone's attention. I have never seen his mysterious Luna before, neither has the other Alphas seen her. It was always one excuse or the other, which made me particularly interested in what she looked like.A young lady walked into the room, looking all high and mighty with her strong aura. The atmo
Mate to One, Luna for Two 59.GLITCHING WOLF.
DECLAN’S POVI was dumbfounded for a while and stared at Tristan and Vanessa. I watched their eyes light up each time they spoke to themselves, and I just knew that my wolf instinct was wrong on this one."Mate," he repeated, and I could feel my anger rising within me. He hasn't spoken to me for once in the past three years. He wouldn't even console me after the death of Ellena and now, he is jumping at the sight of Vanessa, calling her my mate.If only I could beat myself up, I would probably do that to bring back some little sense into his tiny head."Alpha Declan, could you pass the papers? We don't have all day." An Alpha brought my attention to him and I nodded. "Of course," I handed over the papers for the Alphas to read while my whole attention was focused on Vanessa.The way she clung next to Tristan as if he was running away, and the way his hands lay effortlessly on her hips… for some unknown reason, it pisses me off."Don't beat yourself up, and just accept it." My wolf sai
Mate to One, Luna for Two 60.HOLDING A CARD
VANESSA’S POVEveryone has their gaze fixed on me as I speak. Tristan looks equally amused by my accusation but if he was against it, he didn't show it.I would do anything to stop the deal or at least buy us some time, but I would be lying if I said that I am not freaking out right now.I could feel Declan's intense gaze burn through my skin as if he were waiting to dig a hole in it. If I wasn't trying to put on my best acting skills right now, I bet the entire room would see how nervous I am."Vanessa, do you have proof? What made you think that Alpha Declan would do such a thing?" One of the Alphas asked and before I could speak, Declan chipped in."Proof? What proof could she possibly have when all she said were nothing but lies." He glared at me. "Everyone knows that I have the biggest pack in the alliance. I have nothing to gain in attacking a pack that is bound to be ruined." He declared, and I scoffed."Really? Do you really mean that? I mean, if that is true, why are you so o

Mate to One, Luna for Two EPILOGUE
Vanessa's POV"Vanessa! Come and play with us!""Yes please, we are tired of playing alone," the kids whined as I sat down on the swing and watched them play by themselves."No, we want to play hide and seek," one of the kids whined, and I smiled at them."We have been playing hide and seek all morning," I said, still panting, from running for a long time. "You should play another game or I will have everyone go back inside," I threatened them, but it didn't even look like they were listening to me."Let's play a video game. Whoever wins gets to decide what we do next," one of the kids suggested, and I couldn't help but smile about how they reminded me of Dame in every way. That trick was the same Tristan and Dame always used to get whatever they want, and watching the kids say the same thing made me smile.It was as if the kids knew about my past life. They always find a way to remind me of the past in every way.It's been three years since I left the southern pack. Three years of le
Mate to One, Luna for Two 146. FORGET THE PAST
Vanessa's POVI have concluded that I would be leaving once I regained my strength, but I do not want what happened when I tried to leave the last time to repeat itself. I know Declan would probably be looking all over the place for me, and he might have stopped me from leaving again, so I thought of writing a letter to him instead.I knew going to see him and telling him whatever I had to say was the proper way to end everything, but I was afraid that I might change my mind if I saw his pained expression, or even melt at his words if he surprised me by begging me to stay or do something worse like lock me up in his house to prevent me from leaving. With Declan, one can never be too sure.I opened the drawer and saw everything the way I left it. It was as if Tristan was hoping that one day I would return back to him. I expected him to throw out all of my belongings and wipe out every single trace or reminder of me in his pack, but he didn't.I imagined the good life I could have had w
Mate to One, Luna for Two 145.GONE FOREVER
Declan's POVTwo days have passed, and I have no clue where Vanessa might be. Even after watching the CCTV footage, I refused to believe that Vanessa would leave me. I spoke to the doctor and he said the side effects of the drug and injection he gave her were drowsiness and hallucination. Judging from how she left the hospital, I want to believe that she was sleepwalking and she is properly in some kind of danger right now.I had my men look everywhere for her, but she was nowhere to be found. We searched everywhere… every single road that led to the hospital. The streets nearby, we even went as far as searching through the people's houses, but there was no sign of Vanessa.I sat in my room, tapping on my table as I thought of where she might have gone. What if she had an accident? Then, the police would have said something. She doesn't have anywhere to go. She doesn't even have anything on her, where could she possibly go?Jenny…I rushed over to the kitchen where Jenny was busy cutt
Mate to One, Luna for Two 144. Déjà Vu
Vanessa's POVCrying for so long made me feel numb and it felt like there was no water left in my eyes to shed. The injection given to me made me drowsy and my head felt heavy. I know the smartest thing to do right now was to sleep or at least lay on the bed and get some rest, but I can't afford to be anywhere around Declan anymore and I just wanted to leave.Staying in the hospital reminds me of how I watched Dame's lifeless body on the bed without being able to do anything to revive him and I think it's best to just leave.My vision was blurry, and I felt so weak. I knew I had to leave, but I couldn't even think straight. With trembling hands, I reached for the tube in my arm, wincing as I pulled it out. The pain shot through me, but I gritted my teeth and kept going. Finally, I was able to pull it out, and I staggered out of the ward, barefoot and disoriented.Every step felt like a hassle as I made my way down the corridor. I have to get out of here. Those were the only thoughts i
Mate to One, Luna for Two 143.HOW WE MOURN THE DEAD
Declan's POVI stormed back home, feeling enraged, as my insides boiled with anger like a pot left unattended on a raging fire. Guilt weighed down on me at the reminder of Vanessa's accusations, and shame chewed me up inside. As much as I hated to admit it, she was right. Dame died because of me, I killed him.Even if that was true, it's not like I neglected them intentionally. She has equal blame in all of this. She ran away with my child and only showed up years later. If she hadn't left, or if she had ignored her pride and informed me about the pregnancy, none of this would have happened.Dame's death hasn't been easy on me too, heck, it hasn't been easy on anyone. Even the maids are grieving his death so what made her think she could get mad at me on this? I understand that she was mourning her child, but he was my son too.I could feel all sorts of emotions surge inside me; anger, irritation, hurt, and pain.The last time I felt this way was when I lost Ellena, and now, once agai
Mate to One, Luna for Two 142. WALKING DEAD
Chapter 140Vanessa's POVI woke up in the hospital bed, surrounded by the sterile scent of antiseptic and the low hum of medical equipment. My body felt heavy like I was being dragged in the mud, and all of my pain came rushing back in double folds.When I lost Dame in the rogue attack, I thought that would be the end of me. I cried every day and became a mess because he was all I lived for. But then Tristan came back to tell me he was alive, all of my pains vanished into the air. It felt like I was given a reason to live again. To work harder, to become a better mother.Just when I thought I had all the time in the world to be with my boy, I lost him to the cold hands of death. I wanted to scream, to yell out my frustration. I wanted to blame somebody so badly, and hate them for the rest of my life, but where do I begin?I haven't shed a single tear since we got back home from the hospital. This one was different— I had two weeks to prepare for his death. His death wasn't exactly ne
Mate to One, Luna for Two 141.MISERABLE DAYS
Chapter 139Declan's POVIt's been a week since Dame died. Seven miserable days of wishing and hoping even though no amount of breakdown would bring him back. The last time I felt this vulnerable was when Ellena died. I wasn't even this sad when I lost my parents.Everything felt vain and I had lost the will to continue with my role as the Alpha or do anything to gain more wealth or power. What was the use of all my power and influence when it couldn't save my son from dying?What is the point of being the most powerful Alpha when I can't even keep the one thing I wanted most in my life?What hurt the most was the fact that I was beside Dame when he took his last breath, but I wasn't there for him. I slept peacefully that night, thinking I still had another day to grant his wishes. I went to bed feeling on top of the world because I finally got to hear him call me father, not knowing those would be his last words.If only I had known that those were the last time I'd hear him speak, m
Mate to One, Luna for Two 140.GOODBYE
Vanessa's POVI traced my hands on the bed, expecting to feel a small hand or at least a tiny body, but there was none. I opened my eyes lazily and found myself in a room different from the one I thought I would be in.I was at Dame's ward until last night, how did I end up here? Judging from the smell, I could tell that I was still at the hospital. Did I pass out? I searched my body checking for any visible injury but other than the throbbing pain in my heart and the headache that has become a constant thing since I found out about Dame's health, I am all good.Maybe Declan brought me here so that I can sleep peacefully. I stood up from the bed and made my way to Dame's ward, where Dame and Declan were sleeping peacefully.This is the first time Declan has looked peaceful since we have been visiting the hospital. He was trying so hard to stay strong, to hide his feelings, but he couldn't always keep them in check. His expressions sometimes sell him off.Dame clung onto Declan's cloth
Mate to One, Luna for Two 139.LAST MINUTE MIRACLE
Declan's POVVanessa paced the room anxiously, waiting for Tristan to return with Dame as I watched from the minibar. We haven't said a word to each other since our last encounter in the morning and I do not want to say another word knowing she would end up misunderstanding it.Right on cue, Tristan came in with Dame sleeping peacefully in his arms. Vanessa's worried expression was soon replaced with excitement as she rushed over to his side."Thank you so much for today," Vanessa gave Tristan a warm smile which made my stomach twitch. The way Dame and Vanessa act so comfortable around Tristan was enough to rile me up, and once again, Tristan does that thing he always does.He acts like the perfect gentleman that Vanessa could always lean on. Too fake if you ask me. They seemed to be carried away with their little conversation to notice my presence.I made my way to them, and Tristan handed a basket of fruit to Vanessa simultaneously."What is that?" I pointed at the little puppy roam
