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.vLeaving Bruno’s room, I headed to mine, my thoughts still dwelling on why Daniel hadn’t told Bruno about the councilman’s daughter after relaying it to him before they left. Deciding to ask him, I linked him.“Daniel,” I said in my head.“Hey princess,” he replied, his voice filled with excitement. “How are you?”Clearing my throat, I said, “I’m fine. Can we meet at our usual spot in like ten minutes?”“Alright princess, I’ll be there soon.”As I prepared to leave the house, I heard Kiara’s angry voice in my head, “You are mated to the alpha Linda! Why are you still meeting up with that boy secretly?”“He is the only man I love Kiara. Stop this rubbish you keep doing,” I replied, pissed at her for referring to Daniel as that boy.“How can you love the alpha if you’ve never even bothered to give him a chance? You act like an annoying, selfish child. When this blows up in your face, don’t ask for my help,” she growled.Rolling my eyes, I snapped back, “Nothing is going to
Linda’s p.o.vAs Bruno entered the room, his bare chest glistened with droplets of water from his shower. My eyes traveled down to his legs and I gulped hard suddenly feeling hot all over.He looked up from his towel and his eyes locked onto mine. There was a flicker of surprise in his gaze as if he hadn't expected me to be here. But he quickly replaced it with a smirk that made my heart race.“You should take a picture,” he said, walking towards his wardrobe. “That’ll last longer.I swallowed and looked away, suddenly feeling self-conscious. "I...uh... brought you some chicken soup. You haven't eaten all day."The image of him naked was stuck in my head and I couldn’t shake it off. I stared at him as he walked towards the table where I had placed the tray, momentarily lost in thoughts.“What nasty thoughts are you having right now Linda?” he asked, breaking my line of thoughts.I blushed deeply, feeling caught and embarrassed. "I...I'm sorry," I stuttered, looking away.To my surpris
Bruno’s p.o.vI woke up still tangled in the bedsheets with Linda. Her head rested on my chest, and her arm was wrapped around me.She looked so peaceful and beautiful as she slept. And just watching her sleep made my heart leap. I wanted to kiss her but I resisted the urge to do so.Getting out of bed was a struggle, as my body still ached in various places. With a groan, I made my way to the bathroom to take a hot bath.As the water washed over me, thoughts of Linda flooded my mind.I knew the mate bond was beginning to take its toll on me. I could feel it, the connection and attraction I felt towards her was getting stronger and deeper with each passing day.“Stop fighting the mate bond and just enjoy it,” I heard Blake’s voice in my head.Sighing, I shut him out because I knew he could be quite impulsive when it came to his mate.Deep down, I wanted to give the mate bond a chance but I was afraid. I didn’t want to end up a broken man like my father. My father loved my mother, his
Linda’s p.o.vI closed the door behind me, and leaned my back against the door, placing my hand over my racing heart, I took a deep breath. His confession about being willing to accept the mate bond had caught me off guard and made me confused.As I made my way to my room, I couldn't help but think about everything that had led to this moment. Bruno's past behavior had left scars, but there was something in his eyes, something different. Could I trust him? Should I give into the mate bond? What about Daniel?Thoughts of Daniel flooded my mind, and I flopped down on the floor close to the bed, placing my head in my hands and resting my back against the bed frame.“What do I do with Daniel? He won’t take this lightly and this would break him a lot,” I thought as tears began to cloud my vision.“He still has a chance of finding his mate Linda. He isn’t completely hopeless,” Kiara said in my head. “Can’t you feel how happy we are right now? Can’t you feel the joy? This is how I want to fe
Bruno’s p.o.vHer words, “I accept” echoed in my mind like sweet music. It was as if a heavy weight I didn’t know about had been lifted off my chest, and I couldn’t help but smile.“Thank you,” I said with all sincerity. She responded with a warm smile before returning to her meal.The air was thick with awkwardness and I knew it’d take some time to get used to each other’s presence.Blake was over the top with happiness and kept howling excitedly in my head. I let out a chuckle at his silliness.“What’s funny?” Linda asked, with her head cocked to the right.“It’s Blake,” I said, but the look of confusion in her eyes made me explain further. “Blake is my wolf.”She mouthed an “Oh” and resumed eating.“Yeah,” I said. “He’s overly excited about our decision.”She giggled and said, “Same with Kiara. It seems we just granted them their greatest wish.”A knock on the door interrupted our conversation and she stood up to go check who it was.“Alpha,” Daniel’s voice greeted me as he entered
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
