Mate to One, Luna for Two 88.THE MAD BAD MAN
Vanessa's POVI felt a tight grip around my arm, I turned around only to see Declan drag me out of the place. I felt awkward, but then I couldn't protest as my body was already swaying in the direction he was heading to. His face was beaming in fury. As I limped behind him grudgingly, I couldn't help but wonder what could've birthed the sour look on his face. I mean, I am the best person in this situation, that has every right to be angry at the moment, not him, who is obviously the creator of all this mess in the first place.I couldn't wrap my head around what was going on, and when I tried spitting out some questions to him, he muttered some words that sounded like an answer to the questions I was yet to ask."We are leaving!" - he roared.I guess the thought of getting myself out of the sight of everyone here shunned me from asking any questions, rather, I reached out for my son, and we all walked out, trying pretty hard to keep up with his pace.I felt like I had escaped from a
Mate to One, Luna for Two 89:BETRAYED…AGAIN.
VANESSA'S POVI couldn't imagine that I woke up to with the thoughts of Declan flooding my mind. Even when I wasn't feeling troubled this time around, unlike the previous night, when I couldn't bring myself to sleep early. This time, the thoughts flowing in were beautiful, and they were about the moments we spent together at the restaurant he took me to yesterday, and of course the awkward moment in the car that drastically turned into that of joy on our way back home.I could feel some adrenaline get released into my body. As much as I loved how I felt, I doubted if it was really from me. Of course not, it's definitely some trick from my wolf.I honestly do not believe I could see that side of Declan, no matter how little it may appear, but here I am, being teased by my own wolf. Since my wolf won't stop teasing me, then I guess I should give in, at least for the moment.I ruminated about every moment together with him the previous day again, but contrary to what I thought I would f
Mate to One, Luna for Two 90.SEA OF DEPRESSION
Declan's POV"You should leave," I said to Lizzie, feeling frustrated. How could she allow herself to get caught? She knew Vanessa was around. Couldn't she have stayed out of her sight?If she could spend days without getting caught, I am pretty sure that she could have avoided her for the rest of the time Vanessa planned on using. She probably showed her face to prove a point."Alpha, I have nowhere else to go," she begged, but I wasn't having her shit. She tried to pull her usual stunt by trying to seduce me, but I ended her act before it even started."Don't bother to showcase how stupid you are. You were here because of your greed, and I allowed you because I needed some little information but now that you have been caught, you no longer have anything to offer me, and I am afraid I can not keep you here because it will be useless.""You will be surprised at how good I am with what I do. I can cook, clean and even help you to let off some steam whenever you need me," she said, tryi
Mate to One, Luna for Two 91.IDLE SHENANIGANS
Declan’s POV.I drummed my fingers against the smooth surface of my desk, the beat and tunes of my fingers rhyming to an imaginary rhythm only I could hear. If I was being honest, it was quite catchy and would make a great sound if I decided to prolong it, but it was useless. Why? Because it wasn't helping me in the way I thought it would.A distraction. I wanted a distraction and I thought idle shenanigans, no matter how little they were, would take my mind off of an issue that was tearing me apart, but I couldn't be more wrong.Instead, the more the tips of my fingers connected with the tabletop, the more accurately away I became of my frustration.Dammit!She was still not talking to me. It's been days and she still hadn't deemed it fit yet to say a word to me, not even a single hi. How could anyone go for so long without speaking to someone else? The human mouth and lips were made for speaking and producing words, so how could she go on for days without making a single sound?But
Mate to One, Luna for Two 92.SNEAKING AROUND
Vanessa's POVTo say I was angry was an understatement. How can one be so insensitive? He did wrong but instead of him acknowledging what he did, there he was, acting like he had no clue about why I was angry.Going behind our backs to bring in a maid for what reason? I bet he was using her to gain all the information he needed to know about Tristan, but that if she is not one of his whores because I could still remember clearly how they were pinning each other against the wall the last time he was at the pack.Gosh, he disgusts me.Why was I ignoring him? I scoffed as I remembered his stupid question. If it was him wouldn't he have done the same? Fucking asshole.I stormed off to the kitchen angrily, and there was Jenny, chopping vegetables."Why do you look so mad? You were laughing about a minute ago." She said, and I remembered his stupid expression all over again. Asking me stupid questions as I owe him an explanation when he is still yet to apologize."Who else would be willing
Mate to One, Luna for Two 93.AN OBJECT OF RIDICULE
Vanessa's POVI hid behind the curtain as the fear of getting caught by my scent crossed my mind. I covered my mouth to ensure that I was making noise when the door cracked open. It was Declan accompanied by a few elders.He looked a little grumpy, and I could tell that whatever they were talking about was not sitting well with him."You have been repeating the same word for over five minutes. Ain't you exhausted? Just get things over with and be on your way. I have other things to do." Declan said angrily. Even though I can't see his face clearly from where I am standing, I can tell how offended he was by their conversation."Are you even listening to yourself? What important thing do you have other than going back to that woman?""So the rumors about Vanessa were true. When I first heard that she had returned to the pack and that she had been parading around as if she belonged here even though she was only a relegated Luna, I thought it was a joke started by some jobless people, but
Mate to One, Luna for Two 94.WANTING MORE
Declan's POVI have seen women cry a couple of times, most especially the one in front of me, but I never cared. To me, vulnerability is a weakness that one can not afford, but seeing Vanessa cry broke something in me.I wanted to wipe those tears, to make her smile… she was right, I had said worse things to her in the past, but why does it hurt so much to watch her cry?I leaned closer to her, and pulled her into a gentle hug, surprising myself as well as her. She looked a little taken back, and so did I. She pulled out of my embrace a moment later, and I couldn't seem to control myself.I raised her chin, forcing her to look into my eyes. She was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen."I am sorry, Vanessa, I am sorry for everything. I am sorry that you had to hear all of that, for not standing up for you, and for putting you in this position. I am sincerely sorry," I whispered.Her delicate eyes stared into mine out of shock, and my eyes fell on her lips. They were delicate, and i
Mate to One, Luna for Two 95.MIXED EMOTIONS
Vanessa's POVI left Declan's office feeling ashamed of myself and I literally ran into my room just so that no one would see me coming out of his office. My cheeks were red from both anger and excitement and I didn't even know what to do.What the hell is wrong with you, Vanessa? Why the hell did I kiss him back? I could have pushed him away, I could have resisted. When I tried to break out of his grip, if I insisted, he would have allowed me to leave. Why didn't I try to fight? Why did I give in so easily? Gosh! This is pissing me off.I hated myself for kissing him back more than anything. I spent years trying to forget how I felt for him… trying so damn hard to heal from the wounds and the moment he tried to kiss me, I gave in."You did great, there was no point fighting back, not when you enjoyed every bit of it," my wolf said. The way he raised my chin, wiped away my tears and kissed me softly is still surprising. Who could have known that Declan possessed that calmness in him?

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
