PETE'S POV"You see this? This action will gain you nothing but loss. You are watching a precious gift slip out of your hand." My sister said it, and her words were like nothing to my ears."Maybe you have also joined them. How can you be supporting shit? Ever since she met him again, her character has totally changed.""No, Pete, her character never changed; what changed was your mentality and insecurity. Or maybe you don't consider yourself man enough to compete with your fellow man." She said this, averting her gaze."Oh! It has turned into a competition. She is my mate; what competition are you talking about?" I angrily asked."The more you stay here, the more your chances of having her get smaller. You are here; do you know if she survived out of that wood? Do you know if she is in his hands because you are not there to console her? Pete, don't forget all this happened because she decided to save you." She reminded me. I looked at her with so much anger in my heart, and I guess s
PETE'S POVI slowly stood up from the bed, trying to see if she would calm down and change her mind, but she insisted. With anger and frustration, I left the house.I knew Tyler was behind everything that happened, so I went straight to his pack house with all my energy to make sure he stayed away from Selena.On getting to his place, the number of guards was alarming, but that wouldn't stop me from doing what I came for. I was stopped by his guards. "Do you have a meeting with the King?""Do I have to schedule a meeting with Tyler before I see him? Have you forgotten who I am?" I asked hastily because that was what they needed.I saw Tyler's beta coming in the right direction. I stopped responding to the guards.As he got closer, our eyes met, and he commanded the guards, "Let him in!"I majestically walked in and followed his beta because I knew he would take me to him."You scumbag! What are you doing here?" Tyler stupidly asked as he set his eyes on me."Only if you have shame, yo
PETE'S POV"Is that why you are crying? Georgia brought tears out of your eyes." I questioned Susan and stood. Unbothered and undisturbed, I sighed and was about to leave."Pete, what do you think you are doing? What is going on? I hope you are not going crazy. Her words weren't just ordinary words from every Luna. She is evil." Susan narrated, but I wasn't interested in that because I had more than a pot to do. Still, I had to make her feel safe."There is nothing to fear about; I know why she was here, and I will tell her husband to warn her never to come to my place again." I assured her, but with her expression, one can tell that she wasn't satisfied with my assurance. Maybe she needed action. I patted her on the back and left to get a few things ready.After some time, I returned to the Red Moon pack. As I entered the house, my phone beeped, but I wasn't in the mood to check who it was because I was more interested in seeing Selena. My mind wasn't at rest, wondering if Tyler had
SELENA'S POVAs I lay beside him after the amazing moment that I missed and will always cherish, I couldn't stop staring at him with love and fear. I trusted him with everything in me before he showed me that no one can be trusted. Imagine I died in the wood; imagine something happened between me and Tyler; I would probably be blaming myself.I caressed his hair with tenderness as he slept like a lovely baby. The memory of when we were still complete with my triplets flashed through my head. When I thought about everything, I asked the moon goddess, and she blessed me with it. For a minute, I never thought the day would come when I wouldn't be with my kids, when I would run back to that proud Tyler, begging for his assistance.Tears rolled down my eyes, and with courage and hope, I softly wiped the tears with my left hand while my right hand was still on Pete's hair. How cute and loving he could be when he wanted to be, but always he is. Only since Tyler came back into our lives has j
TYLER'S POVThe room was filled with rage, my hands trembling as I watched Pete try to shift, which might bring us to the end of his chapter. But I tried to control myself. I would rather take the shit he is doing than lose him, because he knows who the kidnapper is and where to find them.I could see the way they both clutched each other's arms. "Stupid irritating lovers," I said to them, and I was about to leave when Selena's dying voice called me back. "Tyler!" I stopped in my tracks and looked back."Don't forget we are moving tonight according to Pete's map." She reminded me and smirked. "What insolence." I raged inside of me and left.As I got to the pack with some of my men, I observed that my beta was not in his normal place. I just wanted to see him without seeing my Luna; I guessed he might be helping her with something inside."Liam!!" I called him with a powerful voice, and he ran out of the house sweating, and his breath seemed like he had been running a marathon.I was i
GEORGIA'S POVI patiently waited for him to answer. I knew he wouldn't want to make me cry again."This is not something I can control; it's a message from the moon, and I have to fulfil it." I got pissed at his answer and withdrew myself from his arm."What are you saying? I am not important to you. Huh?" I stood up from the floor and went to lay on the bed with my dress open.Tyler couldn't take his eyes off me. He stood up and walked to the bed; at least the moment I anticipated would finally come to pass. I needed him inside me.He ignored me and started scattering the bag he had already packed. "Is he not getting the sign?" I questioned myself.I decided to take another step, as I stripped myself naked and walked up to him. "I miss you; I want you." My voice was very low and seductive as I urged him to fulfil his duty. He gently pushed me to the bed. I fell into the bed like it was two people pushing me, waiting for him to devour me."I have to start going; I'm already late." I s
SELENA'S POVTyler entered wearing a very long face. He is not meant to be happy, so I was never bothered about his happiness or bothered to ask him what happened. His wickedness and heartlessness are haunting him.He sat down. He looked tired and frustrated. "Hope he had something to eat. " I asked in my mind. Immediately, I realized myself and pinched my hand."Where is your dog?" Tyler rudely asked, and I kept quiet because I didn't know who he was talking about or even who the question was for because it was clear that no one had a dog.I stood up to leave the sitting room, and he called me back with a very romantic tone, "Selena." I looked at him; he appeared more messed up than he looked when he entered. I began to wonder what might have happened to him—was he under pressure?"Where is your dog?" He rudely asked again. I knew his arrogance wouldn't allow him to get what he wanted, so I dashed to the room to pick up my things for the journey.As I entered, Pete stood beside the b
PETE'S POVI tried to control my anger, but I couldn't. I know what is going on in my head, all in the name of trying to protect my mate and rescue her children, which the father won't even appreciate.I knew she might be seeing it as jealousy, but I knew what was happening. the threat, warning, and even death threat, but I never gave up on her. Why would she have no respect for me, choosing that proud animal over me?My phone beeped, and I gradually brought it out of my pocket. I already guessed who it would be, and it was her. "You have refused to take my calls." I read Georgia's message in my mind. Another message was entered from here with photos and videos of my sister and grandmother. "You have to choose between taking my call or going after them now.I became restless. "What do I do?" I opened my phone and called her, but she hesitated before picking up the call."Hey, hey, hey! Don't do anything stupid; don't please." I pleaded with her. As I heard Selena's footsteps, I ran ou
SELENA'S POVMy face was in another shape, and the visuals were blurry because of the heavy tears in my eyes. All our efforts met a dead end. The reality that my kids weren't with me haunted my soul. Deep down, nothing seemed to be interesting to me, but I had to keep pushing till I got what I was looking for."Yes! I will be going with some extra men to find a seer who will lead us. It's getting late, and we might end up losing what we so much cherish." Tyler tried to encourage me as he squeezed me in his embrace. I sobbed uncontrollably till the door slowly cracked open. I didn't pay attention to it at first, but when I observed Tyler's silence, I had to raise my head to see who it was."Pete!!" I called him, but he ignored me and didn't bother to answer as he went to sit down. He wasn't looking good; something must have happened to him. I went to help him clean up, but he stopped me."I will be fine." Pete said that and dropped my hand. I felt so bad and pitied him, even though I k
PETE'S POVOn my arrival at the strange building, there was no sign of any living thing, but I didn't care because my grandma was more important to me than the observation. With confidence, ready to take down the bastard, I walked into the building."Stop right there!" A voice reverberated from behind. I turned in confusion because I saw nobody when I passed, though it was dark. All of a sudden, there was a light spark, but before then, I had already been apprehended and tied down after struggling to stand my ground."What do you guys and my family want?" I asked in a very strong and active voice. None of them said a word to me. All night, I thought about who might have sent them, what the person wanted, and if my sister was safe at home.In the process of trying to figure out the bad egg that would take an old woman hostage, my mind went to Selena. "Could it be Selena? Is she trying to get back at me with this? I won't leave her alive; she will suffer, cry, and die if I find out that
PETE'S POVI felt so embarrassed and emotional in the hospital. The emotional trauma she caused me still had the nerve to appear, telling me about her kids. What is my take on that when their father is right beside her? "Is she emotionally trying to blackmail me? After using me? After making me see the spirits and the living beings, she must be a living witch. A thorn on my flesh, but I must set it ablaze." I lamented all alone beside my haven as I managed to sneak out from the fake emotions of Selena.As I openly talked to myself, I observed a presence but didn't talk before she broke the silence. "I can see your reasons; well, they are valid, but not when it concerns me. Pete, I love you." She confessed and sat beside me.I clenched my fist and wished it was someone to whom I could give a refined blow and whose hair and brain would go under reformation. "Do you know this is turning into stalking?" I questioned her as I shifted away from her."No, it's not. It's called love. Get out
SELENA'S POVLiving in a world so lonely and filled with pain, I couldn't focus on anything other than to think about the life I wanted for my kids, whom my eyes hadn't seen for a long time. I only see them crying in my dreams, and I wish I had superpowers.I picked up my phone and dialed Pete's number; it wasn't reachable, and I stood up to get ready so that I could see him and talk things out with him. After all, it wasn't my fault; he left me all alone in another man's domain. Something inside me kept telling me Tyler wouldn't be able to archive everything alone; he needed to get Pete on board to make things work out. I decided to visit him.As I stepped outside, I was stopped by Tyler's men. "You can't go out. That's the instruction given to us." He stipulated, squeezing his face like a soldier on the warfront."I have something very important to attend to. Why would Tyler give you such an order? To restrict me from going out? That can't be possible. If you wish to keep eyes on me
PETE'S POV"What about the patient?" I asked the nurse as I was about to leave work."She is better now, but she asked everyone to leave the ward.""And you did that?" I asked in a hasty manner and ran to check on her.Getting to the ward, my heart melted. Her sitting position tells it all—the loneliness and pain. My brain went back to the good times Selena and I had together.I thought of what to tell her, but I was still living in grievance. The wound in my heart is still fresh and might not heal anytime soon. I knew she didn't need only medication; psychological support might go a long way in the condition I saw in her.I moved, and as I got to where she was and sat on the bed, she gave me a deadly look. I was shocked because that wasn't ordinary. It looks like a bloody witch who has been cast out of their world."You know, sometimes fate doesn't work in favor of the good ones. Sometimes it is betrayal, sometimes it is heartbreak, and sometimes it is rejection and loneliness." I pa
SELENA'S POV"How can this mission be successful without him? That can never be possible, you know that." I aggressively said to Tyler that he tried to calm me down, but I wasn't having it."You have to calm down while we figure it out," Tyler said. I gave him a bombastic side-eye."Don't tell me to calm down. How do you expect me to calm down when my hope is gone? I warned you about this; the first time it happened, we promised that it was never going to happen again. Now we are at it again, and this time, it resulted in something else. I couldn't sleep all night. You want me to keep calm? When are my children nowhere to be found? The only person who knows a little is gone. I know you don't want these kids because of fatherly love; rather, you want them because of your fortune. I need you out of my life." My voice was very loud, but at a point I started shaking.Tyler forcefully held my hand, and our lips jammed. We kissed for a few seconds; I remembered and pushed him away."You hav
GEORGIA'S POV"I have to do this before he returns. Everything has been made easy for us. You are truly a hero; I love you so much." Liam smiled as I praised him for finding out who the kidnapper was through a great witch.I didn't want him to leave the pack house because it might be suspicious. I wanted to do it myself, and that way, we would bypass so many dangers.He placed his hand on my shoulder and said, "You know this is not just any game; you have to be very careful. Under no circumstances should you fight any of Dante's men. Play your role well and see everything work out for our good." Liam advised, sounding like the great king that he will soon become.I got dressed up, and Liam kissed my forehead and escorted me outside. As we got outside, my driver ran to open the car, but I stopped him. "You don't have to bother yourself; I got this. I would love to drive myself." I said that to him, but he didn't give in to that. He persisted, provoking my impatience, and I dragged the
PETE'S POV"This wasn't the plan; this is far from betrayal. I wish I had listened to my spirit—those signs that I kept receiving but ignored. Who knows if this is their first time; they might have been doing this, and I have been defending Selena in the presence of Georgia. Someone that I called the reason I live wants me to stop breathing. Maybe love is not meant for everyone; maybe some people are meant to be single forever without them knowing," I thought to myself as I sat under the tree. My heart was filled with pain and hatred at that moment.I didn't want to go home; I wanted to keep myself away from anyone at that moment because it might be dangerous. As I sat there, there was a thunderbolt. Immediately, it started raining."Oh, the moon goddess has seen my pain." I tried to stay calm, but my heart was bleeding. I screamed, ran from the tree to another tree, and fell to the ground. My heart wasn't only broken; it was poisoned.I continued screaming, but nobody answered. Tears
PETE'S POV"Selena, I have to go now. My sister might be so worried, but I will be here soon. Just give me a call when Tyler arrives." I said this to Selena as my hand gently brushed her beautiful face.She smiled, looked at me, and said, "I love you."I smiled, kissed her on the forehead, and started walking out of the room."Pete!" Selena called, and I stopped and turned back. "I will be waiting for you. Here I will be so lonely without you, and be careful, my joy." She said that and smiled."I want this to last forever," I said and left the room.Getting home, I quickly put some things in order before going to meet my sister and grandmother. The joy on their faces as they set their eyes on me was epic."I have been imagining a lot. I saw you in my dream crying for help because you were stabbed with a long sword in your chest. I guess that came. I was worried about your safety because, from the smile on your face, I can say the kids are back home." My sister said that and giggled.I
