Mate to One, Luna for Two 70.BREATHING DOWN HER NECK
Tristan's POVIt has passed midnight and Vanessa hasn't come back. This is so unlike her. At first I thought she lost track of time because of Dame but I became more worried after calling her line the first time, and she seemed to end the call before turning off her phone.Vanessa would never do that on a normal day unless something was wrong. Could she be in trouble? The guard that drives her around hasn't returned either.I can't help but think that something is wrong.I paced the room, thinking of what to do because it was late already. What if she is in trouble? Should I organize my men to look for her right now?Sleeping over is not part of the deal, so she can't be in Declan's house by this time, unless he had something off his sleeve… and if I am being honest, I don't trust him around her.Uncertain about how to feel, I went out to check if Ayra was still awake. She is the closest person to Vanessa in this house. Perhaps she might have reached out to her already.If she was to
Mate to One, Luna for Two 71.CHARITY CASE
Vanessa's POVI felt a little hand around me and opened my eyes to find myself in an unfamiliar room. Where am I? I jerked up before realization hit me. I was still in Dame's room, and he was still fast asleep beside me.I must have been exhausted from all the cries. I went to the curtain, and they were closed. The lights were off too… that is probably why I didn't realize it was morning already.I felt comfortable that I didn't realize that I wasn't at home. I wondered why no one woke me up to go home. Jenny must have been the one who turned off the light and drew the curtain.Tristan! Tristan would be worried sick about me. I searched for my phone and saw it on the nightstand, already off.Geez, Tristan would have lost his cool. I turned on my phone and saw his missed calls. I called him back immediately, and he picked up on the first ring."Vanessa," he said into the phone, and I could hear his breath of relief."I know, I'm sorry… I lost track of time and slept off." I apologised.
Mate to One, Luna for Two 72.THE BIRTHMARK
Declan's POVEvery time I try to do something nice, I always end up regretting it, just like right now. All I did was allow her to sleep peacefully and instead of gratitude which I wasn't even expecting from her, I ended up with an accusation.Me? Try to sabotage her to get the alliance's favour. Why would I need to do that when she has ruined all of her chances by herself? I just need the result to come out and all of her pride would be gone before she knows it.I wondered if it was joblessness that made me go into the room that early in the first place, only to close the curtain to avoid the sun from disturbing their sleep."She wouldn't be this angry if you hadn't done worse in the past. You should do better." My wolf said, and I am starting to hate how he only reacts when it concerns Vanessa."Why do you look so angry?" Jude broke the silence."Vanessa slept over," I muttered, and his lips formed an 'O' in an instance as if that explained it all."Wasn't she supposed to leave afte
Mate to One, Luna for Two 73.MAINTAINING BOUNDARIES
Vanessa's POVI left Declan's house angrily, and thankfully, my driver didn't leave me behind or I would just have to be looking for another means to get home now."Luna, I was so worried that something might have happened." He heaved out a sigh as soon as he saw me."If you notice that I am running late another time, please, come and find me. I can't spend another night here." I said, and he nodded.The drive back home was filled with silence, and the only sound that could be heard was that of the engine and my beating heart.I hate how much Declan was capable of bringing out the worst in me, and if anything, I hate that I might have ruined Tristan's chances of winning if Declan decided to inform the alliance that I broke the rules.Speaking of alliance, I still need to find evidence as soon as possible…"Luna, we are home."I looked out the window to find the car already parked in the garage. I didn't even notice that we had been in the car for that long. My mind was occupied with d
Mate to One, Luna for Two 74.LEAVING
Vanessa's POVI spent the night turning around because I was overwhelmed by my anger to sleep comfortably. Tristan's statement kept on ringing in my head. No matter how much I tried to wave it off, it was still there…His stone expression when he mentioned it wasn't helping too, and that was how I spent the entire night fuming with anger.I checked the time on my phone, and it was almost seven in the morning. I could feel my swollen face without having to look in the mirror, and I was not thrilled to do anything this morning due to my sore mood.But why was I even concerned about his guest in the first place? Why couldn't I turn a blind eye to it? It is not like we were together or anything, why do I have to overreact?Maybe I am the problem after all, I mean, it was the same with Declan. Maybe I am cursed and it is impossible to find love or peace in this lifetime. Because why do things always end up this way?I loved Declan all my life and it didn't end up well for me… Tristan was d
Mate to One, Luna for Two 75.MOMMY IS COMING
Declan's POV"I owe you one," Tristan said before I hung up. Why the hell am I doing Tristan a favour? Why the hell in the world would I agree to have Vanessa in my house for a few days? I can't even stay around her for a couple of minutes, talk less for hours…I regretted my decision immediately. I hung up the phone, but I couldn't possibly call him back and tell him that I had a change of mind. It will only make me look stupid.I blame my wolf for all of this… whenever it comes to Vanessa, he would always jump in delight, making me do something I will end up regretting."Right? Like I pushed you into turning off her phone and almost touching her body like a pervert. Of course, all of that was me." He mocked."I have never done something so pathetic in my life. It all started when you decided to wake up from your grave.""Should I remind you of how attractive you found her at the last meeting too? That was all you, not me.""Isn't that the exact day you rose from the dead? That could
Mate to One, Luna for Two 76.CURSED?
Vanessa's POVI was still boiling with rage as I stepped my feet into Declan's home. I know for a fact that the few days I will be spending here will be hell, and to think that Tristan and Declan are the only men in my life pisses me off even more.It was as if the universe was telling me that I should give up because it was starting to look like I didn't deserve love or any good thing for that matter. Just when I thought Tristan was the one, his ex showed up.What if they fixed things between them? What would happen to Dame and I? Where will we go? Over the years, I never had to worry about such things because who would have known that a day like this would come?This is probably the first time reality will hurt this much. I have no one; if Tristan takes Rhiannon back, I will be back on the street. Gosh! Why does it feel like I am cursed?"Ma'am, where should I drop your luggage?" The guard's voice broke me out of my trance, and I cleared my throat."Leave it in a corner…" before I c
Mate to One, Luna for Two 77.TRAITOR
Vanessa's POVDame broke the hug a moment later, and I chuckled at his expression. It must have been suffocating."Do you want to play with toys?" I asked, and he shook his head. He is probably tired of playing with toys all alone. It was getting late already so I can't suggest that we go out, but I made a mental note to buy him some video games the next time I go out. Those were his favourites at home."Do you want to watch anime with Mommy?" I asked, and he nodded. "Good boy."I carried him gently into the living room to rewatch one of his favourite series, even though we have seen it about a thousand times. If he wasn't mute right now, he would probably say every word after them.He has memorized the entire thing."Let me get some popcorn," I played the movie and went into the kitchen to grab a bowl of popcorn. The food I brought last time was left untouched, which made me angry.If they weren't feeding him my food, what the hell have they been giving him? I inhaled a breath, tryin

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
