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 61.THE CONFESSION.
VANESSA’S POV"You won't get away with this," Declan promised, but I already knew what I was getting myself into to be wavered by his threat.He released his grip on me, and I let out a breath of relief. "Vanessa!" Tristan called out once again, as he looked through the hallway.He was only a few steps away when Declan and I came out of the hiding. "Hey, were you looking for me? I got lost and Alpha Declan came to my rescue." I lied.Tristan looked between Declan and I suspiciously, before he broke the silence. "Are you okay? Did he try to bully you?" Tristan asked with concern written all over his face and Declan scoffed."That is not a way to say thank you.""From what I remember, you are not one to do others a favour." Tristan countered back."The fact that your son is still alive should explain how much of a good person I am." He smirked."Lay a fucking finger on my son, and watch how I will ruin you.""I'm scared…" Declan made a childish face and I broke the silence before things
Mate to One, Luna for Two 62.DENIAL
VANESSA’S POVTristan shook his head in disbelief as if he had just heard me wrong. "How is that possible? You once said you have never seen him and you only heard about him from people's gossip." Tristan said, still looking a little confused."Hmm, I don't know… I mean, I know what I said but can we leave that for now? Explaining things now means that I will have to start from the beginning, but I don't think I am ready for that, just yet." I looked up to find him already staring at me."I hope you understand," I muttered softly.He raised my chin up until our eyes were burning straight into each other. "If it is too much of a burden, you don't have to tell me," he said with a smile, and I melted at his words."Thank you," I sniffed back the tears that were threatening to leave my eyes, and he pulled me closer into a comforting hug. I could stay here forever.Tristan pulled away gently, with his eyes still fixed on mine. "You know you can tell me anything, right? And if you are not y
Mate to One, Luna for Two 63.NO REGRETS
Declan's POVI left the room immediately after the meeting ended, frustrated at the judgment of the alliance. How can they make such a foolish judgment? I expected better from them.My mind wavered at all sorts of possibilities. Telling the alliance that she got to know that they were my men by their scent alone would not be enough, so I should probably relax, right? But who knows what that woman is planning?She didn't seem to falter when I said I would inform Tristan earlier, she must have really had some sort of evidence she could use against me.I paced around the room, thinking of how to find out what she was planning when Jude entered the room."Why are you pacing around? I thought things were working in your favour?" Jude asked suspiciously, and I hissed."My favour? Vanessa showed up out of the blue! That fucking bitch is Tristan's Luna. Somehow, she managed to convince the alliance that she can prove that I am behind the second attack, and those fucking cowards gave me some t
Mate to One, Luna for Two 64.GRAND WELCOME
VANESSA’S POVI searched my closet for a dress to wear, trying to be as confident as I could, when in fact, I was trembling inside.My wolf's sudden declaration had left me confused and I wondered if I should ignore her words and act like she hadn't mentioned anything since I was certain that she would disappear once again and only come back years later to remind me, but I also know that she had never spoken to me before, not to talk of lying.Declan is my mate. Why does it have to be him of all people? Why couldn't it be Tristan? I don't even mind if it was a lowly Omega, why does it have to be Declan? It was as fit fate was playing such a tricky game with me and all I wanted to do was scream."Are you going somewhere?" Tristan's voice caught my attention, and I looked back to find him staring at me. I didn't notice when he entered because I was lost in my thoughts, but I hoped he wouldn't get caught in my troubled mind."I want to visit Dame. Now that I know he is alive and safe, I
Mate to One, Luna for Two 65.PRIVACY
Vanessa's POVDeclan gave me a stern look for slapping his hands away from the Dame, but I did not care. He could be as mad as he wants, his anger is nothing compared to what I am feeling right now, or what I felt in the past."I was permitted to see my son, remember? And I don't think they mentioned you being in the room with us. I need some privacy with my son," I said, still annoyed by the stupid thought and his glare grew colder."Do I need to remind you that you are in my pack? My house for that matter," he let out a dry laugh. "You don't get to question me or tell me what to do.""Whatever you do is your business, I don't care, but I need you to stay out of my business and by doing that, you will have to leave the room."He took cautious steps towards me and I was forced to maintain my balance even though I was trembling inside. I knew he wouldn't hit me, right? I am presently a Luna of one of the powerful Alpha. Even though our pack is on the verge of losing everything, he woul

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
