.Author Pov's.Ryan shook his head, realizing what he was thinking."You have lost your mind, Ryan... You should think of rejecting Monika, not accepting her," He scolded himself and looked at Aana, who was waiting for his reply."I think you don't know, but Monika is in a relationship with someone else," Ryan said to Aana with the hope that she would stop forcing him."She is not." She mumbled."She is... A girl told me she is in a relationship with a man named Gabriel" He muttered."No... I mean, yes, she is in a relationship with Gabriel, but he doesn't love her. He is only pretending to love her to make her happy," She said, trying to tell him the dynamic of Monika and Gabriel's relationship."You know, sometimes you say things that go above my head," Ryan said."It's a long story... I will tell you later, but for now, I want you to think about Monika and give a chance to the mate bond created by Moon Goddess," She said and picked her baby girl in her arms, who started crying, f
Author Pov's .Monika was talking to Ryan when her eyes went to Aaron, who was standing behind Ryan, listening to their conversation. He was going to the dining area when he saw her with Ryan and he stopped to know the status of her and Ryan's relationship.Aaron indicates to Monika to talk to Ryan properly. She rolled her eyes, remembering her last conversation with Aaron.Like Aana convinced Ryan to give a chance to mate bond, Aaron did the same with Monika. He convinced Monika to forgive Ryan and give a chance to her fated mate. At first, she denied it, but then Aaron started emotionally blackmailing her and making her promise him that she would give a chance to Ryan."For our friendship's sake, please don't ruin your chance with him, Monika," Aaron mindlink Monika, who groaned in frustration."Why you're not understanding Aaron, he is in love with someone else." She hissed, clenching her jaw."Please don't say no... The girl whom he loves is no more. He is alone, Monika." he said
Author Pov's . Ryan returned to his room, frustrated and mad at himself. "I shouldn't have come into Aana's words and promised to give a chance to Monika. At least we wouldn't have stuck with that witless girl" He groaned and sat on the bed. "After seeing how clever she is and how she is forcing us to stay in this mate bond, I think whatever Mandy said was true. Monika is not as innocent as she looks." Wild snarled, hating how he is stuck in a mate bond where he can't stay with his mate. "I will never accept her... People say it's easy to move on when we get a better life partner but here we got worse... I would love to stay in Jenny's memory than to accept Monika as my fated mate," Ryan scowled and stretched his neck, looking at the ceiling, then he straightened his neck and looked at his mirror image. "F*ck" he hissed when he touched his swollen cheek. "She slapped you hard," Wild chuckled. Ryan rolled his eyes and started thinking about what happened a while before. "She
Author Pov's .Ryan was searching for Monika in the entire pack to talk to her and convince her to reject him, and if she didn't agree, then he decided to trouble her so much that she ended up rejecting him on her own. He was looking for her everywhere to execute his plan, but what he didn't know was that Monika was one step ahead of him. To take revenge for her insult from Ryan, Monika intentionally started hiding from him, making him search for her and roam in the entire pack crazily. She even used perfume to hide her scent so that Ryan wouldn't be able to use Wild's power to find her.Monika was talking to a warrior at the border when she sensed Ryan's presence. She pushed the warrior aside and climbed on the tree to hide from Ryan."What are you doing?" That warrior yelled, looking at her shockingly after seeing how she climbed the tree like a monkey."Shut up and dare you to say a word to Ryan" she warned him, shooting him a deadly glare. He gulped and then looked in the direct
Author Pov's .Monika was glaring at Ryan and then she turned her head in another direction. Her cheeks turned red because of blushing. She never thought that someone could think of her like this and make her feel desirable."No... What the hell am I thinking? Why do I feel happy and excited after knowing he desires me? What is wrong with me?" Monika grunted and cursed herself for liking Ryan's intense gaze over her, making her feel something special and butterflies in her stomach."This is what happens when you love someone and he lets you know that he feels the same for you... that feelings are mutual from both sides. Mate bond is not a simple relationship, Monika. It is created by the Moon Goddess itself. We are bound to have feelings for our mate," Anika said, making Monika realise she was getting attracted towards Ryan. "I'm sorry... I utter nonsense when I get nervous" Ryan apologised, cursing himself mentally for letting out his thoughts shamelessly and making her uncomfortab
Author Pov's . Monika was looking at Ryan with teary eyes while he maintained an impassive look. "Why are you getting so clingy? At first, you were hiding from me so that I wouldn't ask you to reject me and then this emotional drama. Stop it" He scowled "Drama?" She asked and then shook her head, realising she had made a fool of herself by expressing her desire in front of a heartless person. She turned her head in another direction and sneakily wiped her tears while Ryan was feeling frustrated because of the mixed emotions he was feeling. He wants to reject Monika, but at the same time, there is a strange feeling in his heart, like he wants to hold her hand and never leave her. "Can't we stay with her forever, Ryan?" Wild asked, surprising Ryan. "What?" Ryan asked. "Please say yes... I want Monika and Anika as my mates," Wild said. Ryan looks at Monika, who hides her emotions behind a stern look. "I promised Aaron that I would give a true chance to this mate bond, and I'm givi
Monika Pov's.Back To Present.I was looking at my phone on which Gabriel was calling. I declined the call and took a deep breath."Monika" Anika opened her mouth to say something but I shook my head."Please don't say anything", I requested and clutched the bed sheet in both my fists, feeling suffocated as the harsh memories of my life started flashing in front of my eyes."Mommy" my eyes shot up when I heard Jenny's voice from outside. I rushed towards the door and opened it, only to find Ryan standing there, holding his phone with the speaker on. "Jenny is calling over your phone, but it was engaged, and then she called on my phone and asked me to give it to you. She wants to talk" I didn't even let him complete and snatched his phone from his hand."Jenny", I called her desperately, knowing if anyone could calm me down, then it was my daughter. She is the light of my dark life."Mommy" I closed my eyes and a tear rolled from my eyes when I heard her voice after so many days. Ev
Monika Pov's.I stood up from bed to go after Ryan and talk to him, but then I dropped the idea, remembering that I and Anika had decided to ignore him after our intense fight with him in the forest. I sat on the bed and sighed, unable to understand why and how things got so worse for us."I know you wanted to reject me from starting, Ryan, but why do you hate me for being your mate?" I asked him as if he was standing here to answer me."What do you think about talking to Ryan?" Anika asked, making me frown."Talking to him?""You promise our daughter that you will sort things out with him," Anika reminded me. I sighed and nodded."It's not only about the promise I made to Jenny, Anika. It's the necessary thing to do so. I have to mend things with Ryan before Jenny returns from her trip. I can't bring her into a toxic environment where she sees her parents fighting every day. I can't ruin her childhood and give her a lifetime nightmare, nor do I want her to think that her father is t
Author Pov's .(Flashback continues after 5 years of Ryan and Monika's separation and one month before Monika and Ryan's marriage).Monika was sitting on a chair in her office, working on her laptop, when her mom, Olivia, dashed inside her office fuming in anger."What are you doing here?" Olivia shouted, startling Monika who stood up from her chair."You scared me, Mom" She kept her hand on my chest to calm her racing heart. "Why are you looking at me with so much love?" She asked when her mom was glaring at her."Aren't you forgetting something?" Olivia asked and encircled her hands around her chest. Monika scrunched her eyebrow and checked her mobile to see what she had planned for today. Her eyes shot up when she realised what she had forgotten."I'm dead" She looked at her mom with a terrifying look. "How could you forget such an important day, Monika?" Olivia growled. "Mom, I promise to hear all your lectures after returning. Right now, I have to reach there," Monika said,
Monika Pov's .I was more shocked than Ryan after realising how boldly I confessed my love to him. I tried to run away, but he didn't let me go; instead, he pulled me closer to him. At that moment, all I wanted was to dig myself six feet underground.He smirked, enjoying my misery, and moved further closer to me, leaving hardly any space between him and me."Wh---what consequences?" I asked. He parted away from me a little and looked into my eyes."Why do you get nervous around me?" He asked. I kept my hand over his chest."I don't know... Maybe because you're too intimidating for me, and when you get close to me like this, I feel weak in my knees," I whispered. My heart skipped a beat and I got goosebumps all over my body when he encircled his hand around my waist."Don't worry; I said before I will never let you fall, Monika," he said, making my heart start beating at a higher speed. I hate how he controls the speed of my heart with his touch and words."I'm not talking about this
Ryan Pov's .The next day, after getting ready, I went directly to my office to work and learn about the casualties that happened because of the war. I remember our enemy's warriors had injured my warriors before I took over and killed them to save my people."Patrick, go and bring me the files that contain the details of the family of warriors who died at the border recently while trying to save us", I ordered him. He nodded and left.I sat on my office chair and opened my laptop. That's when Gloria entered my room, holding Monika's hand and closed my laptop."What was that?" I asked and raised my eyebrow, then looked at Monika, who was looking confused. I understood Gloria dragged Monika here without telling her the reason."How can you be so boring? You should go out with Monika and give her the tour of the pack, but look at you... Sitting in your office, working on your laptop like a grumpy" Gloria said. I rolled my eyes and then looked at Monika, who was laughing after keeping a
Ryan Pov's.I smiled loving how freely Monika was laughing. It made my heart flutter. If possible, then I want this smile never to leave her face.I don't know why things went sour between us in the past or say I don't want to think about those memories again. I just want her to be happy."And for that, you have to give up on your plan of snatching her daughter from her," Wild scowled."You're still hanging over that topic. I dropped that plan last night, realising how horrible I'm turning day by day. Thankfully, her tears and care for me stopped me on time; otherwise, I wouldn't be able to look at myself in the mirror," I replied, looking at Monika, who started blushing after catching me staring at me. She turned towards me and raised her eyebrow as if asking me, 'why am I staring at her?' then bowed her head shyly."I'm amazed you look gorgeous at the age of thirty-five," I said, teasing her."Thank" She clamped up and then narrowed her eyes at me. "Were you admiring me or making f
Monika Pov's .My heartbeat rose when Ryan stood up and walked towards me. It would be a lie if I said his actions and expressionless face aren't scary. I don't want to have another fight with him."Ryan", I called him, but he shushed me."Stay quiet" I narrowed my eyes when he ordered me. I was about to say something to piss him off for ordering me like this, but his next step left me dumbstruck."Ryan," I gasped when he kneeled in front of me and held his ear. I looked at everyone present there; they all were shocked, just like me."I made you apologise because Welda is our elder, and I don't like it when someone talks back to her, and Gloria is like my younger sister whom I want to protect with everything. I didn't like how you behaved and called her," he muttered. I tightened my lips and nodded."I can understand, and that's why I apologised, and I would've done it even when you wouldn't have asked me to do it. It's just" I stopped and looked at Ryan, unsure whether I should shar
Author Pov's .Ryan raised his eyebrow at my action but didn't say anything in front of me. The girl sitting beside him passed me a smile."Hello, Monika," She greeted me, but I ignored her and took the toast in my plate and butter, then looked around for a knife to butter my toast."Here" that girl passed me the knife. My eyes went to Ryan, who gestured for me to take the knife. I rolled my eyes and snatched the knife from that girl's hand, startling her."Wow... Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed," she muttered."At least I didn't wake up with someone else's husband," I scoffed, not able to hold myself anymore. I was fuming in anger after seeing her flirting with my man, Ryan, who was hearing our conversation. He started coughing while that girl was looking at me, widening my eyes."Ryan... Didn't you teach your wife how to behave?" Welda asked, gritting her teeth. "Monika," Ryan called me and glared at me. I ignored him and looked at Welda's side."Why are you saying an
Monika Pov's .(Back To Present).I was lying on my bed and biting my nails anxiously while thinking about Ryan and that girl who asked him to come into her bedroom. "I can't believe the guts of that girl... She flirts with Ryan in front of me." I groaned and then whined like a baby."More than her, I'm mad at myself. Why didn't I give her a good reply that time? I should've hit her on the face so that she would think a thousand times before roaming around my man," I muttered to Anika and then smirked, imagining hitting that girl."Anika" I called her when she didn't respond to me. She was awfully silent for the past hour. "Hmm," she hummed in response then yawned."What happened? You're silent for so long?" "Don't get me but please don't get too attached to Ryan," Anika mumbled."Why? What happened?" I asked surprisingly as this is the first time she is doubting Ryan and saying something like this about him."After how he broke our hearts so many times, I don't trust him anymore
Author Pov's . Monika was standing outside the house of her parents, battling with herself whether she should go inside or not. When Monika was fifteen, she left her father's pack and shifted to Aaron's father's pack to live with Aaron. She loved Aaron since she was five, unaware that her future held something disastrous for her. "No... I shouldn't go inside... I can't face them," she thought and turned to go. That's when her mother came outside and hugged her from behind, surprising Monika. "Mom" Tears welled up in Monika's eyes. She turned towards her mother and hugged her. "My doll" Her mother called her lovingly and caressed her hair. Aaron informed Monika's parents about everything that happened with Monika in the pack so that they wouldn't question her much but understand her. Monika broke the hug when her eyes went to her father. "Didn't I tell you that you can come here whenever you want?" He asked. Monika broke down into tears and ran towards her father to hug him. Tear
Author Pov's.Aana broke the hug and looked at Monika shockingly, not expecting her to accept the rejection when she and Anika both were in pain."I don't want any men in my life. Especially the one who doesn't even care for once before rejecting me" Monika snarled, answering Aana's unasked question. Aana sighed, knowing Monika was not wrong; anyone at her place would have done the same."Aah" Monika screamed in pain and lay down on the bed. Aana stayed beside her and held Monika's hand while caressing her hair with her other hand. She was there for Monika."Aana... our princess woke, and she needs you," Aaron mindlinked her. She looked at Monika who was still crying."Send her with Marry to Monika's room," Aana replied."You're with Monika?" he asked surprisingly."Yeah… Ryan rejected her," She muttered and looked at Monika with teary eyes. Monika was looking miserable. If anyone saw Monika then he or she would end up crying for her."Fuck.. Now, only this thing was left to make the
