Linda’s p.o.vI got to Daniel’s house and knocked angrily on the door. His sister, Emily opened the door with tears in her eyes.“Haven't my brother suffered enough for loving you?” Emily asked, her eyes filled with a mix of hate and anger.I stared at her in confusion, wondering what she was on about. “Em, what’s wrong? Did something happen? Where’s Daniel?”She wiped her tears. “All Daniel has ever done is to love you wholeheartedly and this is how you repay him? This is how you thank him for the love he showered on you even when your mate didn’t even want someone useless like you.”I gasped in shock, still confused. “Em, please tell me what’s wrong. I… I do not understand what you are trying to say.”“Your mighty mate sent his gamma and guards to come pick up Daniel a few hours ago,” she replied, her tears streaming down her face once more.“What? Why? Did something happen?”She stared at me, her eyes shooting daggers at my face. “It’s all because of you! How can you be a Luna and
Ruby’s P.O.VI stared at Linda with a sly smile on my lips as she gazed at me with disbelief in her eyes.Taking slow, steady steps, I paced around her in circles. “What is it, Linda? Why are you acting so shocked?”She swallowed visibly and let out an awkward laugh. “Ru..Ruby, I don’t think you understood my question. I think you are mistaken. I was asking if….”I interrupted her before she could complete her words. “I understood your question perfectly Linda. You asked for the truth and I told you nothing but the truth. It’s not my fault if you are too dumb to process it.”Before I could tell what was happening, a slap landed on my cheek and I stared at her in surprise, holding my cheek in anger.“How dare you speak to me this way? I am still your Luna and you would show me respect!” She thundered, her eyes reflecting her wolf.“I took you in when no one wanted to. I cleaned you up and accepted you as a sister I never had, I told you secrets I didn’t tell anyone. I trusted and loved
Bruno’s P.O.VI watched as Linda threw the tray of food on the floor with her eyes shooting daggers at Ruby. I had not wanted to eat the food as I wasn’t hungry but I didn’t want Ruby to pester me so much and I didn’t want to be rude by sending her out of my bedroom.Linda stood in front of Ruby and sized her up and down with anger in her eyes. “Get out of my mate’s room you wench!” She yelled while pointing to the door.I stared at her in surprise wondering why she was calling Ruby a wench, they were as close as blood sisters the last time I checked. What changed? Or did she find out Ruby was the one who told me about her affair with Daniel?Ruby's eyes darted towards me, she stared at me as if waiting for me to counter Linda’s orders.“You can leave Ruby,” I told her and she looked at me in surprise.“But… but alpha, she shouldn’t be here,” she countered, her eyes beaming with malice.“Leave Ruby,” I said again, dismissing her with my hands.She bowed slightly and glared at Linda b
Bruno’s P.O.VI bolted upright from the bed at Camille's words, my heart pounding with fear and dread. Linda had fallen down the stairs? The thought sent a chill down my spine, and without another word, I dashed out of the room, my mind racing with worry.When I reached the bottom of the stairs, I found Linda lying on the floor, with her eyes glazed over, and surrounded by a few maids. Blood stained the steps, and I felt a wave of nausea wash over me at the sight. I crouched down beside her and held her head in my arms."Linda!" I called out, rushing to her side. "Linda!”I tapped her face gently but she didn’t move an inch. I turned towards the maids, who looked confused and worried. Lifting her up, I mind-linked Allen to come to the mansion immediately. I headed to my bedroom and on getting there, I placed her on the bed. Slowly, I took off her blood-stained clothes and a gasp escaped my lips, as I saw dried blood on the thigh. Shutting my eyes tight, I prayed to the moon goddess t
Bruno’s P.O.VA week had passed since Linda had fallen from the stairs. She had been brought back home from the pack’s clinic after Allen had said she and the baby were out of danger. But she wasn’t opening her eyes, she wasn’t coming back to me and it frustrated me to no end.Allen had said to give her time and to keep monitoring her progress but I was getting more and more worried with each passing day. What if she never returns?A sigh left my lips as I stood up from the chair I had been sitting close to her. I was about to mind-link Camille to come take care of her as I had a meeting to attend in another pack when I heard a knock on the door.“Who is it?” I asked, even though I could tell who it was.“It is Ruby, alpha,” she replied.“Come in,” I said, ushering her in.She pushed the door open and came in. She took long strides towards me and stopped beside me.“Is something wrong?” I asked calmly, wondering what her visit was about.A smile crossed her lips. “No, alpha. I just wa
Bruno’s p.o.vMarcel rushed in at the sound of my voice and he tried getting my hand off Ruby’s neck but I didn’t budge.“Alpha, please you need to calm down,” he pleaded.Rage coursed through me as the thought of what could have happened if I had not returned back home flooded my mind. I wanted to squeeze the life out of her the same way she had planned on doing to Linda.How dare she try to harm my mate? How dare she!She held onto my arm, fighting, struggling, and kicking around for her life but I didn’t release my grip on her neck, instead, I tightened it and watched as her face began to turn pale due to lack of air.Marcel left my arm and ran towards Linda's bed. “Alpha, it’s the Luna. Her eyes are opened and she just made a sound,” he said.My rage subsided and I immediately released my grip from Ruby’s neck. In my anger, I had not seen that she had opened her eyes nor did I hear the sound she made.I rushed towards her and took her hand in mine. Peering intently at her.“Linda,
Linda’s p.o.vWhen I first opened my eyes, I tried remembering what had happened and why I was feeling this intense pain in my head. My eyes darted around the room and fell on Ruby who was with a syringe. Fear gripped me and all I could do was cry, I couldn’t move any part of my body as I felt very weak.I had tried mind-linking Bruno but I was too weak for it to pull through. I tried to plead with her with my eyes as my tears flowed seamlessly but instead, she laughed manically. I pleaded frantically with the moon goddess to send someone to rescue me. As if she heard my cry for help. She sent Bruno.Relief flooded through me as my eyes landed on him but I couldn’t help the fear that gnawed inside of me at the thought of what Ruby had almost done to me.As I lay cuddled up against Bruno’s chest I couldn’t help but wonder if he had forgiven me now. The look in his eyes and his words filled me with hope that we could work everything out.I wanted to talk to him, to ask him if he wante
Linda P.O.VI'll never forget that night when my life turned into a nightmare.It was the big day of the mating ceremony, and I was about to turn twenty. This meant it was time for me to find my mate. I woke up feeling both nervous and excited. I was happy because I hoped to find my true mate, the one I was meant to be with. But I was also nervous because I wanted it to be Daniel and nobody else.Daniel, the beta of the Blackwood pack, was not just my friend but also my soulmate. We had been best friends since we were five and became lovers when I turned eighteen and he was twenty-one. Our love had to stay secret because it wasn't allowed until we were officially declared mates during the mating ceremony.I truly believed that destiny and the moon goddess were on our side. But little did I know that everything was about to change on that night.I used our mind-link to contact Daniel and asked him to meet me at our usual spot near the stream in the evening.As we walked towards the cer

Linda’s p.o.vMy whole body trembled at his question. How did he find out? Oh moon goddess, what was I going to do now? How do I explain to him that we ended things before we decided to give the mate bond a chance?His voice broke my line of thought, making my heart palpitate in fear. “Answer me!” he growled angrily.I stood up from the bed and made my way towards him, hoping my touch would help calm him and make him listen to me with a cool head but he took a few steps backward, avoiding my touch.Tears welled up in my eyes at his action and I stared at him in pain. “Bruno, please calm down. It’s not what you think, I don’t know what you heard and where you heard it but please let me explain everything in detail,” I pleaded earnestly.He just stared at me without a word, his face dark with rage.I hung my head low as i tried to hold back my tears. “Daniel and I have been in a relationship even before I met you. I thought he would be my mate but it turned out that the moon goddess ha
Linda’s p.o.vThe next few days went by so fast. It was filled with so much happiness I couldn’t contain. I was finally having a child, and creating a family with my mate. It felt like a dream come true, one I had dreamt of for years.I woke up today intending to go to see my parents. It’s been a long time since I saw them and I missed them very much, I didn’t know how I was going to tell Bruno that because he has been very protective of me ever since I got pregnant.“Good morning Hazel,” Bruno said, pulling me close.“Hmmmn, morning,” I replied, wrapping my hands around him.He grunted, rolling off of the bed. “I need to leave soon. I have got a lot to do today.”I sat up straight, looking in his direction. “Oh alright. Bruno.”“Yes love,” he replied, as he took off his pyjamas. “I miss my parents,” I began. “So I was thinking I would go visit them later today and spend a few days with them.”He remained silent and continued dressing.“Bruno,” I called out.He turned around and met
