Linda’s P.O.VI stared at the lifeless body of the maid, as crimson-red blood slowly dripped from her mouth. I let out a scream as I stumbled backward, my body collapsing to the ground with trembling hands.A maid rushed in and stood in front of me trying to talk to me, but her voice sounded distant and muffled.Camille's urgent voice cut through the haze. "Call the security," she said, her words barely reaching my ears.Bruno and Marcel entered the kitchen, but their presence felt distant. They looked at the situation and gave instructions, but their words didn't quite register in my mind.A maid guided me back into my room and ran a cold bath for me.As the cold water washed over me, I slowly snapped out of the fog that had enveloped my mind. As I stepped out of the bathroom, entering my room, the maid asked, “Luna, do you want some breakfast? Can I get you something?" her voice filled with concern but my mind was still reeling from the sight of the dead maid. The image flashed thro
Bruno’s P.O.VThe next morning, I set out on my journey to the Silvermoon Pack, eager to visit my friend, Alpha Lucas. He had invited me weeks ago, saying he needed to discuss something important with me.Lucas has been my only friend since we were kids. Our fathers were friends, and when they passed away, we found solace in each other. Lucas and his father visited our pack years ago, and when we found out we both lacked mothers, we bonded instantly. Our friendship grew on trust, loyalty, and a shared understanding of the responsibilities that came with being Alphas. Lucas was a man of honor, always dedicated to his pack. I knew I could rely on him for advice on pack matters.As we continued our journey, things took an unexpected turn. The peaceful atmosphere shattered as tires screeched and metal crashed. I looked out the window and saw a pack of wolves emerging from the shadows, filled with malice in their eyes.Before we could react, the air filled with growls and snarls, accompani
Daniel’s P.O.VAs the alpha urged me to swiftly carry out the investigation into the rogues, I wasted no time and hurried. All signs and pieces of evidence I gathered showed that the rogue’s mate belonged to our pack. “Who could it be,” I pondered.I ordered the guards to use more force to make the rogues talk, hoping to extract information about the mate's exact location within our pack. The rogue with the mate remained silent but the other one decide to divulge the information to stop the torture.“I will talk, I will talk please,” the other rogue pleaded, spitting out blood. “But will you stop the torture if I do?”“For now, yes. But if you refuse, we'll make it even worse. You'll beg for death every day and never get it," I threatened.“I know the mate belongs to our pack, I just want to know who is it,” I pressed on.The rogue laughed frantically before saying, “You know the mate, In fact, you have a personal relationship with the mate.”“Don’t play games with me, get straight to
Linda’s P.O.VAs I felt the nylon bag tighten around my head, panic surged through my entire being. I struggled, gasping for air, desperately clawing at the bag to free myself. Fear consumed me, and I could hear my heart pounding in my ears.Just as I was about to pass out, I felt the nylon bag being yanked off my head. I fell to the ground, gasping for breath, and looked up to see two men fighting. I couldn’t tell which man saved me and which was my attacker.Suddenly, one of the men ran off and the other rushed to my side. I flinched and stood up, grabbing a stick when he knelt beside me."Who are you?" I asked, my voice shaky and my breath heavy from fear, pointing the stick at him."Luna, are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?" he asked. "I was assigned to protect you.""Protect me? Who assigned you to protect me?" I asked, confusion evident in my voice."The gamma, your highness," he replied."Marcel? Why would Marcel assign you to protect me?" I asked."I don't know all the detail
Bruno’s P.O.VI was in my study when I heard a knock on the door."Who is it?" I asked."It's Marcel, your highness," Marcel replied.I invited him in and motioned for him to take a seat. "Why are you here, Marcel?" I asked."The Luna was almost kidnapped," he said, a worried expression on his face.“Almost kidnapped by who?” I asked nonchalantly. “Why would anyone attack her?”“The secret guard I assigned saved her from the rogue attack, your highness," he explained.“Rogues! Rogues! Rogues!” I slammed my fist on the table in anger. “was the attacker caught? Where is Daniel and how is the investigation progressing?”“No, Alpha. The attacker escaped, and I haven't received any updates from Daniel yet," he replied."Send someone to get him immediately!" I commanded.A few minutes later, he arrived with Daniel, looking disturbed. "Daniel, do you have any information for me?" I asked.“Yes, alpha. The examination of the deceased maid revealed that she was poisoned with wolfsbane, which wa
Bruno’s P.O.VI left the mansion with Marcel, the rogue, and a few guards, heading towards the first hideout of the rogues.Once we arrived there, we parked our vehicles and rubbed sage on ourselves to mask our scents. We walked into the forest where the hideout was located. The forest housed the abandoned warehouse where the rogues sought refuge. We positioned ourselves in different hiding spots to avoid being detected while staying close enough to eavesdrop on conversations."Steve, it's Mark. I'm here," Mark's voice echoed.He came out from the warehouse, shaking his head, "They're not here. Looks like they abandoned the place."I signaled to one of the guards to go in and search the warehouse, but they found no one inside. However, one of the guards handed me a gold chain necklace with a half-moon pendant. I looked at the necklace and it felt familiar, but I couldn't recall where I'd seen it before. I pocketed it and said, "Let's go to the second hideout."As we drove to the secon
Linda’s P.O.VMy eyes shot open as I felt a jolt of pain in my bum. Before I could process what was happening, my mother’s loud angry voice pierced the air, “Linda! Wake up you lazy child,” she said as she threw the blanket off my body. I turned my bleary eyes towards her, her face was full of fury.“Mom, it’s too early to be awake,” I mumbled, struggling to pull the blanket over me.She hissed as she said, “Too early? Did you check the time? Get up right now and go make breakfast. Do you expect me to do everything for you?”“Ask the maid to do that mom, why do I have to prepare breakfast when we have a maid,” I asked, already annoyed at her sudden outburst.“Then you should have brought your own maid when you came here. I want you in the kitchen in fifteen minutes,” she ordered, glaring at me daring me to argue. My father stepped in, "Let her be, love. She's still tired. Let her rest a bit more. Go back to sleep, baby."“Do not test me, Linda. Be in the kitchen in fifteen minutes,”
Bruno’s p.o.vMy blood boiled at the mention of Lucas's name. Anger surged through me, and I couldn't control my fists as they landed punches on his face for daring to lie to me.“You filthy mutt, you expect me to believe such jargon. How dare you play these silly games with me,” I bellowed, my voice echoing through the forest with rage.I looked at Marcel and said, “Kill her.”“I swear alpha, I’m not lying. Alpha Lucas is the one behind the attacks. He personally came with his guards in search of rogues in the forest. When he found me, he spoke about how your father refused to give his father a piece of land to enlarge his pack despite being close friends and how he wants to take everything from you instead because your father was a heartless and wicked man who didn’t deserve anything good. He told me to gather more rogues and form an army, he promised us a place and positions in the new bigger pack he would form when he claims your pack. I have proof please, I have proof,” he said d
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
