Bruno’s P.O.VI woke up the next morning feeling much better than I had in years. The memories of the previous day came rushing in. I sat up immediately, rubbing my temple in a bid to remember if it was all a dream or if it really happened but her scent in the room was still strong and unmistakable which left no room for doubt.Damn!! Why did I ask her to come lay in bed with me? “Blake! This is your fault,” I said to my wolf.“Do not put this on me. This is all your doing. What is wrong with asking your mate to come lay with you? She is your woman and you need to start accepting that. Give her a chance.” Blake said huffing.Ignoring him, I rolled my eyes and got up from the bed to go take a shower.Today was the day, the day to finally get back at Lucas for all the trouble he has caused me, the day to finally show him he shouldn’t have toyed with me in the first place. After a quick shower, I picked out a nice navy blue suit to wear with a black tie and black shoes. I mind-linked
Lindas p.o.vThe morning sun poured into my room waking me up from my restless night sleep. Thoughts of the mystery surrounding the councilman's daughter’s supposed kidnap was still on my mind.I stood up from the bed to freshen up. After freshening up, I made my way downstairs to have breakfast. I met Camille in the kitchen already preparing to serve breakfast.“Good morning Luna,” she greeted me with a smile. “I was about to come up to your room with breakfast.”Returning her smile, I replied, “Good morning Camille, well Since I'm here now, why don't you serve breakfast here in the kitchen? I could use some company."She began to prepare a plate for me, loading it with scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, and fruits.As I took the first bite of the meal, I couldn’t help but moan.“Hmm Camille, this is so good,” I said while chewing the food.She smiled and nodded. “Thank you, Luna.”Between bites, I turned to look at her. “Camille,” I began, “You are one amazing chef. I can’t cook to save
Linda’s p.o.vMy breath caught in my throat as I watched the pack doctor and his assistant work on him. The strong and powerful man I knew now lay so vulnerable on the bed with the pack doctor trying to save him.“I told you, I told you he was in danger,” Kiara said, whimpering in my head.“What happened to him?” I managed to say, my voice trembling as I struggled to hold back my tears. “Is he going to be okay?”Daniel knelt down beside me and placed a hand on my shoulder. “He was poisoned at the ceremony. The doctor is trying to flush the poison out of him before it reaches his heart. Hopefully, he’ll be fine soon.”“Poisoned how? Wasn’t the food tasted? Who would dare poison an Alpha?” I asked surprised at the attacker’s audacity.“We have no idea how he was poisoned, Linda. Let me help you to your room.” He said pulling me up from the floor.As I stood up, I moved closer to Bruno’s bed and looked at the pack doctor, “Please, you have to save him at all costs.” I pleaded, with tears
Daniel’s P.O.VI left Linda’s room feeling angry at myself and feeling angry at her. Her words lingered in my mind, haunting me.“I can’t reject Bruno now.”I clenched my fists struggling to contain the anger building within me. How could she not see the opportunity the moon goddess has blessed us with? The chance to finally be together, to build a life we had both dreamed of, free from that damned Alpha.I couldn’t understand why she was acting this way. She was the one who wanted us to elope together before, so what changed? She was ready to reject him before why not now? It made absolutely no sense to me and it was eating me up inside.My frustration grew as the conversation we had earlier kept replaying in my mind. As I headed to my room, I knew I needed to find a way to make her see how this was an opportunity we couldn’t throw away. Rejecting him now is the best, if he wakes up we can elope together, and if he doesn’t we get to stay at the pack together. Either way, it was a win
Linda’s p.o.vThree long weeks had passed since Bruno’s poisoning. He has been in a long deep sleep since the day he was poisoned. Every day for the past three weeks, I had visited him in his room, taking care of him after the pack’s doctor's usual visit.The council had unanimously appointed the head of the council; Councilman Harrison as the acting alpha until Bruno recovers. It felt weird and it made no sense to me since the next-in-line should be Daniel but I guess they had their reasons since no one opposed the decision.I hadn’t seen or spoken with Daniel since that time he acted irrationally. I guess he was giving me space and time, which I am grateful for because I still wasn’t ready to see or have any discussion with him.I heard a knock on the door and I yelled, “Come in.”Camille came in with a tray of food. “Good morning Luna, I brought you breakfast.”“Good morning Camille, I was just about to go freshen up and leave for Bruno’s room. I’m not feeling all that hungry this
Linda’s p.o.vMy heart skipped a beat as I watched inshock. Bruno's finger twitched ever soslightly, a tiny but unmistakable sign of life.Tears welled up in my eyes as I held my breath,trying to believe what I had justseen."Bruno?" I whispered, my voice trembling withhope.His finger moved again, this time with morepurpose as if he was trying to respond. It wasas though he was reaching out to me, trying to tell me he could hear me.“Wilson,” I yelled from the room, calling on the assistant pack doctor.“Yes, Luna,” he replied rushing in.“Bruno his… he just moved his finger. He just moved his finger,” I told him still in disbelief.He quickly went over to Bruno and did some examinations.“Alpha, Alpha can you hear me? If you can hear me, please move your finger,” Wilson said.He moved his finger again this time more pronounced.Turning towards me, he said, “This is great news, Luna. I need to link the pack doctor to come over and run a thorough examination on him.”“Yes, yes,
Bruno’s p.o.vMy eyelids felt heavy as if they had been glued shut for an eternity. Opening my eyes, I blinked them repeatedly, trying to clear away the fog that clung to my sight.And then, a female figure who stood by the door came into view.“Who was she? And who gave her the audacity to be in my room while I’m inside?” I thought, already feeling anger bubble within me.I focused my gaze on her, waiting patiently for her to turn to face me so her identity could be revealed. Then slowly, the figure by the door turned and her face came into view revealing her identity.It was Linda.I watched as her eyes widened in shock and surprise filled her face when she saw me staring at her.“Bruno, you are awake,” she said, walking hurriedly towards me and sitting in a chair close to me.She took my hand in hers and placed light kisses on it as tears streamed down her face.“Thank you, moon goddess. Thank you,” she kept saying repeatedly.Finding my voice and snatching my hand from hers, I sa
Bruno’s p.o.vMarcel's concerned voice broke through the atmosphere in the room. "Luna, are you okay?" he asked, stepping closer to where Linda and I were on the bed.I watched as Linda’s eyes darted from Daniel to the fallen plates of fruits and the fork on the floor. Her expression shifted from surprise to embarrassment.I looked up at Daniel and found his eyes moving back and forth between Linda and me. He had this peculiar look in his eyes that I couldn’t quite understand.Linda stammered, trying to explain, "I... I was just helping Alpha eat. He asked me to feed him since he hasn’t fully recovered.” Her voice was shaky, and she avoided making eye contact with anyone in the room.I raised a brow, wondering why she was explaining.Linda stood up abruptly and said, “I should go bring some things to clean up this mess I made.”Without saying a word, I watched her leave.“How did you people find out I was awake?” I asked.“I informed them not quite long, alpha,” the pack doctor replie
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
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,
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.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.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
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
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
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
