Monika Pov's .Ryan held my chin and made me look at him. There was a mild smile on his lips which was like a warning."I asked you something" I gulped and shook my head before nodding."Huh?" I opened my mouth to tell the truth when Ryan's beta, Patrick, came towards us."What are you doing?" Patrick asked, seeing Ryan close to me as if I was not Ryan's mate but his side chick. Ryan rolled his eyes and parted away from me."Why do you think I'm answerable to you?" Ryan asked with a tight-lipped smile. Patrick glared at me before bowing his head."Luna's mother is calling you into her room for a talk before having lunch," he said. Ryan nodded and looked at my side. Before he could say something, Patrick interrupted him."She is calling you alone," Patrick grunted."I know," Ryan growled back, silencing him. Anika was having a hard time controlling herself here. I shook my head as everyone here was insulting an Alpha wolf without thinking of the consequences."Sorry Alpha" Patrick b
Author Pov's . Five Years Ago . "Tell me Red or blue?" Monika asked his best friend, Gabriel, while showing him two dresses. He chuckled and pointed at the red dress. "This one" "But Aaron's favourite colour is red... I will wear a red one," she pouted, looking at the red dress and then looking at Gabriel when he didn't respond. She frowned, noticing how anxious he was looking. "What happened?" She asked Gabriel who raised his head and looked at her. "Do you still love him?" He asked. "Still? I never stopped loving him, Gabriel... I love Aaron since I don't even know the meaning of love. He is my everything... I start my day with his thoughts and sleep after seeing his photo." She muttered with a mild smile and sat in front of Gabriel on a chair. "Aaron left this pack, but I didn't stop loving him. Yes, I tried to move on when I heard he found his fated mate but I failed. The moment I got to know Aaron rejected his mate, I again went crazy in his love." "You took care of h
Author Pov's .Flashback continues.Monika was looking at Aaron with teary eyes when Gabriel rushed towards her."Monika" He held her by the shoulder and helped her to get up."Aaron, she is Monika... I don't know if you remember or not but she is the one who took care of you when you were drowning in pain because of your mate." He said and then sighed when Aaron didn't say a word."I'm thinking of choosing her as my chosen mate", Gabriel announced, shocking everyone, including Monika. She looked at him, widening her eyes, and then a smile appeared on her face, knowing he did this only to save her from the hatred of pack members as she raised her voice against their Alpha and Luna. Also, Gabriel wanted to cool the environment."Why didn't you tell me, Aaron is coming with his mate?" Monika asked Gabriel through mindlink."I didn't want to hurt your feelings,""As if I'm happy right now" She scoffed and shook her head."She is the girl who loves your Alpha with everything, and soon s
Monika Pov's ."You're still standing here", Ryan's voice brought me back to the present. I was so lost in remembering my first heartbreak that I didn't even realise when he came back."Are you okay?" He asked, bending a little to look into my eyes. I nodded and forced a smile on my lips."Yeah... what will happen to me?" I laughed and took a step away from him before he noticed my watery eyes."Let's go to the dining area. I'm feeling ravenous." I said, sneakily wiping tears from the corner of my eyes. Ryan looked at me for a minute before nodding his head."Okay," He muttered and raised his hand towards me. I look at his hand and then at him."I want Jennifer to think we are together" I scrunch my eyebrows."Jennifer?" I frowned."She is the woman who gave birth to me," he replied in a stern tone. I look at him with an open mouth."He called his mother by name and called Jenny's mother with 'mother'." I thought but didn't say anything to Ryan who was staring at me."What?" I frowne
Monika Pov's . I smiled and stood up, then picked up the bowl of seafood and walked towards Luna's mother. "If my serving food to you makes you happy, then I'm happy to serve you, Luna's mother," I said and served food on her plate. "Don't feel ashamed thinking I tagged you as my servant", Luna's mother said, still trying to belittle me. I chuckled and walked towards Jennifer to serve food on her plate. "I don't feel ashamed in doing any work. Yesterday, only one of the servants took me to the servant quarter, thinking it would offend me, but it didn't. My parents taught me that every person who is doing hard work is respectable and no work is less. These maids are serving us; that's why we can live our lives comfortably. I don't ashamed being with them or doing what they do" I said while serving food to Jennifer. She kept her hand on my head lovingly. I smiled and then looked at Luna's mother. I smirked when I noticed how her smile withered away, realising I didn't feel insulted
Ryan Pov's.A Day Before.I picked a red dress from all the dresses that the designer showed me, knowing the red colour suits Monika. I remember when we met for the first time, I saw her in a red dress. She looked breathtaking. I was confused because that was the first time I felt something for someone after my chosen mate, Jenny, died, and then I got my answer when I felt the mate bond with Monika. I was adamant about rejecting Monika after our first meeting because I was afraid that if I stayed longer in connection with Monika, then I might fall in love with her because of the mate bond, and I didn't want that to happen. When Jenny died, I decided to love her till my last breath, and no one can replace her. That's a different story; things don't go as we plan. Monika and I didn't reject each other immediately and then she went on heat. I tried to stay away from her, but me and my wolf gave up when Monika's wolf, Anika, started forcing us. I warned her that I would not accept her
Ryan Pov's .I unblocked my wolf, Wild, knowing he must be angry at me for blocking him without giving him a chance to reply."So finally, you got time to unblock me", He scoffed. I ignored him and looked at Monika, who was still sleeping."She isn't innocent either, Wild. She was the one who forced us to get intimate with her and then she acted like a victim. Not only this, have you forgotten how she tried to hurt our sister, Aana? There are numerous reasons why I despise her. She hid her pregnancy, and after giving birth to our daughter, she didn't even think once to tell us about our child. She is not innocent, so don't feel guilty for hurting her," I mindlink my wolf."Are you telling this to me or to yourself to justify what you're planning is not wrong?" Wild mocked me. I shook my head, realising he would not understand what I was going through. "I do understand, human... I loved Jenny as much as you do, and that's the reason why I never stopped you from pushing Monika away, b
Ryan Pov's .I was walking back and forth outside Monika's room where doctors were treating her. "I was warning you not to get too harsh on her," Wild growled at me, and he was not wrong. I crossed all the limits today by forcing Monika to do something which she didn't want to do."Everything will be fine, Son" My mom, Jennifer came to me and kept her hand on my shoulder. I shoved her hand away and maintained a little distance from her."I will pray to Moon Goddess for Monika's speedy recovery," She said. I nodded and looked at Luna's mother who was sitting in the corner, lost in her thoughts. I was about to go near her when the doctor came outside. I stopped and rushed towards the doctor."How is she?" I asked."Did she eat something to which she is allergic?" She asked. I look at her dumb-headed."She hadn't eaten anything except seafood," I replied."She must be severely allergic to it. That's why her condition got worse, and I think her wolf is also blocked, which might be the m
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 giving it.
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 .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 . 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 .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 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 . Ryan went back to Monika's room to talk to her and reject her so that he could leave the Pack. He was about to knock on the door of the room, but he stopped when he heard her sobs. "How can someone be so heartless?" Monika complained about Ryan to Anika while crying, remembering Ryan's harsh words. "It was so hard for me to move on from Aaron… Ryan refreshed all my memories. Why did he do that?" She asked Anika, who whimpered, feeling Monika's pain. Her words were enough to put Ryan in guilt. "You hurt her," Wild said, feeling bad. "I just said what is the truth, and I didn't know that she apologised to Aana," Ryan grunted and shook his head. "It's all happening because of Mandy. She manipulated the entire situation to make Monika a villain in my eyes ." Ryan thought and cursed himself for coming into her words. "Let's reject her and go from here; otherwise, don't blame me if I lose control over myself and break the promise we made to Jenny," Wild said to Ryan wh
Author Pov's .Monika was talking to Anika while her silence was making Ryan furious. Maddy has influenced him against Monika so much that he feels like Monika is pretending to be upset after getting rejected."What? Are you still going to pretend that you're upset?" he grunted, making her frown."Pretend?" She raised her eyebrow."I know everything about you, so stop with your drama and reject me," he scowled."I'm not getting anything... Drama... Pretend... What are you trying to say?" She asked, hating how he was throwing accusations at her without knowing her."I know about your games and how you play a victim card to make other people feel guilty," He said and turned his face in another direction. "Excuse me" She made Ryan turn towards her. "I don't play the victim card, and how can you behave like this with me?" She growled, hating how he was treating her just because she took the time to accept his rejection."Don't you play the victim card?" He asked."No... I don't" she scr
Author Pov's . Maddy bites her inner cheek to control her smile after seeing her plan is working, and Ryan is coming into her words. "Yes... Didn't Monika tell you that she is in a relationship with Gabriel?" Mandy asked. He shook his head. "Ohh... This proves I'm not wrong about her. If she was honest and a good person, then she would've told you about Gabriel," Mandy said, making Ryan believe in her words. "I can't believe someone can be so wicked behind an innocent face" he thought, remembering how Monika's wolf was crying after he rejected her. "She didn't tell us once she is in a relationship with someone else," Wild growled in jealousy and then narrowed his eyes when he noticed how Mandy was smiling. "What if Mandy is lying to us?" Wild reasoned out the possibility after sensing something was wrong with Mandy's behaviour and her wicked smile. "I don't think she is lying. Why would she make a huge claim?" Ryan asked. "Because we rejected her," Wild said, unable to believ
