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 78.MEMORIES OF THE PAST
Vanessa's POVI watched silently as Declan fed Dame until he took the last piece of his food. The boy refused to get off his leg even after eating and he patted him gently until he fell asleep.That was pretty admirable, I must confess. He called one of the maids to take him into his room, leaving just the two of us behind.I focused on my food, as the surroundings suddenly became awkward and I became more self-conscious around him. I contemplated between breaking the silence and thanking him for allowing me to stay or just finishing my food and leaving the table… of course, I picked the latter.Who knows what he would say to ruin my mood if I tried to thank him? His whole attention was on his phone, as he ate after every five minutes. The silence was killing me so I stood up, leaving half of my food untouched."I should go to bed," I said to no one in particular, and he didn't bother to answer me. Fair enough.I went to sleep in Dame's room and decided to pause all of my thinking for
Mate to One, Luna for Two 79.THE RIGHT PATH
Declan's POVVanessa left angrily and I wondered why she looked provoked. Did she fight with Tristan? I know for sure that Tristan would never have asked her to come here if it wasn't something serious.Maybe he has found out about her infidelity and he couldn't stand to see her for a while. Who will be calm about that though?For some weird reason, the thought of Tristan finding out about Vanessa's affairs made me happy, but I hope that wasn't the case.I can't wait for his expression when I finally reveal the truth to the alliance in our next meeting."The more you say nasty things about her, the more it will be difficult to accept her," my wolf reminded me.I wondered why the idiot won't stop spilling out nonsense. I know it is probably because we had some childhood bond but he needs to learn how to move on now."This is not about some childhood bond, you fool. She is your mate!" He yelled and I waved him off. At this point, anyone would be my mate."When did I tell you that the mai
Mate to One, Luna for Two 80.MAKING MEMORIES
Declan's POVVanessa continued to stare at me, waiting for my response and I agreed to it. I know how much of a talkative the boy was, even though we only got to talk for once. I could tell how much she missed listening to his tiny voice."So you are helping her because you want to see her happy," my wolf said out of nowhere, and I suddenly felt the urge to clear the air."I will help him but don't get your hopes high. I am only agreeing to this because I care about the boy. Don't come to me asking for a favour another time because I won't answer." I said, and she nodded."It's just this once, I promise."For some reason, I felt a little disappointed by her reply. What does she mean by it's just this once? She should keep coming to me for help.Why, though? Because it appeals to your ego. My subconscious mocked."I think it's about time that I take him to the hospital to get checked. We need the doctor's advice on what to do about his trauma.""Thank you, Declan," she said with a grat
Mate to One, Luna for Two 81.LIVING IN DENIAL
Vanessa's POVIt was past midnight and Declan was yet to be back with Dame. I paced the living room waiting for them to come back."Why don't you call them instead, if you are worried?" Jenny suggested and I waved her off.Calling Declan will only make me appear to be desperate. I know for sure that they are fine, but I am also anxious to know what the doctor said about Dame and why they are running late.I don't think the whole thing should take more than a few minutes. What if something else had gone wrong? What if Dame has to be admitted to the hospital? What if…"Vanessa…" Jenny called out once again."It's okay, you can go to bed, I know you are tired," I said, and she shook her head."I'm sure they are fine, you didn't have to be worried." Her eyes were half closed and I could tell how sleepy she was."It is okay, go to bed." After a little argument, Jenny finally listened to me and I was left alone pacing through the lounge waiting for a familiar figure to come in with Dame.Af
Mate to One, Luna for Two 82.NO PLACE FOR HER
Vanessa's POVDeclan's question kept on ringing in my head and I kept on wondering if he asked because he also had some affection towards me because of the wolf bond.I spent the entire night tossing around, unable to close my eyes for a swift moment. Declan's expression when he asked the question had blurred my vision, and his face is all I see when I try to close my eyes.This is ridiculous. He is probably referring to something else for all I know. I mean, over the years, it has always been me chasing after him and him trying to ignore or ridicule me.But things have been different since I got here. We have been having a normal conversation for the past few days without one making the other feel awkward, hurt or unwanted. It is the first time since I have known him. He could have been referring to that too, but of course, I wouldn't know."Seeing how you are trying to justify your action amuses me. Coward, that is what you are," my wolf said, and I got out of bed angrily.It was mo

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
