Monika Pov's
.
I was looking at my daughter, who was looking at me with a smile. She wants me to get back with her father, but she doesn't know how much he hates me and thinks low of me.
Ryan kissed my cheek, startling me. I turned my face and looked at him, then touched my cheek where his lips touched me.
"He kissed us" Anika howled in happiness while my heart was beating at higher speed. Ryan looked at our daughter, Jenny, then winked at her, making her giggle. I understood he intentionally kissed me in front of Jenny to show her how good he is and how much he loves and cares about her mother.
"Think about our daughter before making any decision." He said in a low tone, then looked at me.
"Remember, if you didn't marry me, then I will apply for Jenny's custody in the werewolves council... So think, baby girl and make a wise decision if you don't want to lose your daughter." He said and again took out some paper from his coat pocket.
"I knew you would destroy the papers after reading the conditions. That's why I asked my lawyer to make two copies", he muttered and kept the copy of the contract on the desk and passed me the pen.
"You have no option but to sign this paper," He said, showing me how vulnerable I am in front of him. I snatched the pen from his hand, making him laugh at my misery.
Tears fall from my eyes and fall on the papers. I took a deep breath and signed the contract with a heavy heart, knowing from here my life would be miserable. I secretly wiped my tears and passed the pen to Ryan.
He looked at the pen and then at me before turning his head towards his beta, who nodded and took out a pen from his pocket to give it to his Alpha. Ryan took the pen and signed the papers.
"You don't want to touch the pen touched by me, yet you want me to fulfil the duties of a wife", I mocked him for his boorish behaviour before walking towards Jenny. She happily hugged me.
"Finally, I have a complete family!" " she shouted in happiness. I smiled and picked her up in my arms.
"I can do anything for your smile, baby" I whispered and kissed her forehead.
"Daddy!" She called for Ryan and then asked him to come closer. He smiled and did as his princess asked. He encircled his hand around my shoulder and then kissed Jenny's cheek as he kissed mine.
"I don't know if we ever be able to become each other perfect mates or not, but I'm sure we are going to be amazing parents for you, princess, " he said, looking into my eyes. I nodded and smiled in satisfaction. At least my sacrifice wasn't going to get wasted.
"Okay, guys, my granddaughter and I decided to go on a trip for a week," my mom announced, surprising me with her sudden plan.
"Trip?"
"Yes... I want you two to have fun and spend time together after marriage. If I stay here, then your attention will be on me instead of Daddy, and I don't want it. That's why me and grandma planned a trip together," Jenny said and clapped her hand excitedly. I look at my mom who passed me an awkward smile. I understood it was her plan that she fit in my innocent daughter's head.
"Okay, we have to pack our belongings" Mom said and took Jenny in her arms.
"You should go with Ryan to his pack and don't worry about her. I will take good care of her and will drop her at his pack after the trip," She said and went outside before I could say anything.
"I can't believe this" Ryan snarled and shook his head. I look at him bewildered.
"You used my daughter for your dirty plans" He grunted, tightening his grip around my shoulder. I look at his hand and then at him.
"I'm not getting what you're saying, Ryan"
"A five-year-old girl can't think so much. Obviously, it was your plan. You asked your mother and my princess to go on a trip" He pushed me away from him.
"If you think we can come close by spending time together, then let me clear your misunderstanding; I will never fall in love with women like you", he snarled and looked at me from head to toe with disgust as if I came out of the mud. I didn't say anything to clear his misunderstanding because I knew he would never believe me.
"Let's go, Max" He ordered his Beta.
"What about her, Alpha?" Max asked Ryan and gave me a judgemental look after hearing his Alpha question.
"She is an independent girl who can go anywhere she wants. I don't care", Ryan grunted and walked outside the courtroom. Max shook his head in disappointment and went behind his Alpha. I rolled my eyes and sat on the chair, unable to believe I loved a person like him.
"Are you sure, you want to hide your wolf rank from Ryan?" My mom asked me through mindlink.
"I'm not hiding but not telling him and I don't think it matters to him. He is an as*hole who doesn't care about anyone but himself" I groaned in frustration, unable to believe he left me alone just after marrying me.
"He is now your mate, Monika. I think you should forget what happened in the past and move on," My mom advised me.
“But Mom” Before I could say something, she interrupted me.
"At least for your daughter, you have to mend your relationship with him," she said. I sighed and nodded.
"I will try" I replied and closed the mindlink before I broke down into tears. If she knew what Ryan thinks about me and how he treats me then she wouldn't have let me marry him. I sighed and went outside, then looked up.
"Why you make him my fated mate, Moon Goddess? Did you hate me so much that after so many rejections, I had to choose him as my mate?" I asked the mother of werewolves. She wrote thornes and immense pain in my love life.
"He hates me for the mistakes I made in the past, but I wish he could see how broken I'm from inside", I whispered in a low tone and wiped the unwanted tears which always betrayed my eyes. I hate to cry like a weakling.
I took deep breaths to calm myself and think about what I should do next.
"Your Highness", I was lost in my thoughts when a man came to me and bowed his head in front of me.
"Mother Luna sent this car and asked me to pick you up for Wild Pack", He said. I look at him and then at his car.
"Wild pack means Ryan's pack," I thought and looked back at his warrior.
"Say thank you to Mother Luna for sending this car for me, but I can't come with you," I said with a polite smile. He looked at me shockingly as if he didn't expect me to go against his Alpha's order.
"Are you sure?" He asked to confirm. I nodded and walked towards my car.
"What are you planning, Monika?" Anika asked.
"I'm planning to prove that bas*ard Alpha that he is not wrong. I'm an independent woman who can easily break his stupid male ego"
.
Monika Pov's.I parked my car outside Ryan's mansion and hopped out of it. Warriors outside the mansion looked at me shockingly as I came here driving my own car."I imagine what would be Ryan's reaction when he came to know that I came here. I'm sure he must have thought I would cry and wait for him but to his dismay he married a rebellious Queen not a sympathy queen" I smirked and walked towards the mansion while looking around, impressed at how Ryan turned this entire pack condition.I remember Mom told me that the previous Alpha of this pack destroyed this place, but Ryan changed and improved everything after becoming Alpha."Our mate is so good... Most of Alpha refused to take the pack of low quality with poor members and facility, but he did magic. Not only did he choose to become the Alpha of this pack, but he also improved things here. He did an impressive job in handling everything." Anika started praising him."I agree with you. He indeed changed everything. I read an artic
Monika Pov's."Ryan's ex... His fi--first love," I stuttered, looking at the lady, widening my eyes. Anika whimpers, realising our mate is still in love with someone else."You didn't know about Jenny?" She asked."I... I didn't know Ryan's ex's name was Jenny." I replied. Tears rolled from my eyes."Five years ago, when we met for the first time and felt the mate bond, he told me he loved someone else in his life, but I didn't know he still loved her", I mumbled in a low tone and wiped my tears."I thought he might have moved on from her. That's why he asked me to marry him" I said and lowered my head as I didn't want her to see tears in my eyes."Monika" She called me lovingly and took my hand in her hands."No one can replace Jenny in his life, but that doesn't mean you can't create a space for yourself in his heart," she said with a light smile. I chuckled and shook my head."If he hasn't forgiven her in the past five years then it's impossible that he will ever love me. Moreover
Monika Pov's .I wiped the unwanted tears which fell from my eyes without my permission. I had never cried in the past five years, but seeing him with someone else brought tears to my eyes. I don't understand why that ruthless cheater matters so much to me and why I always fall for the wrong person.I took a deep breath to calm myself, not wanting to cry for him and was about to open the door of my room when a maid came near me."Do you want something?" She asked. I scrunched my eyebrow."No... why?""You're opening the door of my room so I thought you might need something" She said."Your room?" I asked and looked at the door, then her. "But Jace's mother assigned this room to me" I muttered."You're mistaken, Luna... She must have assigned you that room," she pointed at the nearby room."But", I clamped up and then looked at the doors of both rooms; they looked similar."You are new here. That's why you might have got confused", she said and shrugged her shoulders. I nodded, agreei
Monika Pov's.I moved my hand and brushed Ryan's lips with my fingers. All my confidence vanished when he held my hand and took my finger between his lips. His one action reminded me of the first time, he kissed me and sucked my lips."Ahh," I hissed in pain when he bit my middle finger."You should not play with fire; it can burn your hand", he said and shoved my hand away. I didn't say anything and tried to cross him when he held my hand and pulled me back to the place where I was standing before. He leaned towards my face."Ryan" I called him. My heart was beating at a higher speed in anticipation of his next move."Next time, if you touch me without my permission, then you can't even imagine what I will do to you. This marriage is only for our daughter, not to fulfil your desires. So there is no need to act like a""who*e?" I asked, completing his sentence. He shook his head."Wife... There is no need to act like my wife." He said. I turned my head in another direction as his clo
Monika Pov's .I didn't reply to Ryan and bowed my head, unable to understand what I should say to him. Obviously, I can't say that I want him to check me out or get affected by me... Or..."touch me" Anika completed. I bite my lower lip and close my thighs, feeling a different sensation. I don't understand why he affects me like this..."Look at me when I'm talking" Ryan said and held my chin to make me look at his face. "Don't bite your lips" he grunted. I closed my eyes and cursed myself for acting like a stupid."You didn't answer me," He whispered."Oh God .. why does he need to sound so sexy?" I thought and opened my eyes."I wasn't imagining anything", I replied, but I doubt he heard me. He just nodded his head, looking at my lips instead of my face. "Is he also getting affected by our closeness?" Anika asked me as if I knew everything about Ryan. I gulped when his eyes moved down from my lips to my cleavage. "Ryan" He shook his head before I would've said anything."Don't
Monika Pov's .I was looking at Ryan, widening my eyes. "Why?" I grunted. He smirked and then pointed towards a dress kept on a couch."Get ready... Mother wants to meet you" Ryan said in a stern tone."You could have just shook my body or called my name to wake me up... What was the need to throw water?" I shouted and looked at the clock on the wall. I hardly slept for a few hours, and he woke me up in the worst manner. "Whatever... Get ready. I don't want to make Mother wait for you," he said."Fine" I removed the blanket and hopped out of bed."F*ck" he cursed under his breath."Now what I did" I asked, getting annoyed with his jerk behaviour. I scrunched my eyebrow when he didn't reply and kept looking at me. "He lost his mind", I thought and shrugged my shoulders, then picked the dress from the couch and went to the bathroom to take a bath and change. My eyes shot up when they went into the mirror."Ahh" I screamed, seeing my na*ed body. Now I get why Ryan was looking at me.
Monika Pov's .Ryan stood in front of me, glaring at my soul. I gulped and forced a smile on my face, pretending that I was not afraid of him."She is looking mesmerising" I heard another warrior complimenting me who was standing behind the warrior who complimented me before. Ryan clenched his jaw and held my arm."Didn't I tell you to change?" He hissed. I look at his hand then him."I'm not your slave... It's my body and my choice to wear anything I want" I snarled, trying to release my arm from his grip. My arm started hurting because of his tight hold."ohh, girl! You don't know how dangerous it is to mess up with me" he grinned and moved closer to me. I gulped and tried to take a step away from him, but it was like he already knew what would be my next step. He kept his hand on my waist, restraining me."She is your Alpha's mate, and you should keep this in mind before passing any compliment", he grunted, looking into my eyes, then turned to look at the warriors who complimented
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 .After Aaron warned Gabriel, everyone got scared for Monika. Gabriel didn't let Monika go after Aana to check on her. He held Monika's hand and dragged her to her room forcefully while Monika was looking at Aana, worried for her."What was that Monika?" Gabriel shouted, startling her. She looked at him with teary eyes and then bowed her head."I don't know what has happened to me, Gabriel. It was like I lost my mind when I saw Aaron with Aana. I even forgot she is pregnant with his child" Monika sobbed and clutched her hair in frustration and guilt. Gabriel's eyes softened, and all his anger vanished when he saw Monika like this. It reminded me of his condition when he got the news of his mate's death. "Monika" He called her lovingly. She raised her head and looked at him."I didn't mean to harm her or the babies. You and Anika kept warning me that my obsession with Aaron was not good, but I didn't listen, and now I'm regretting it. If anything happens to Aana or her b
Author Pov's .Marry kneels beside Aana and checks her pulse."She is fine. Maybe went unconscious because of stress" Mary replied. She was a doctor by profession."Aana," Monika called Aana anxiously and was about to touch her when Rex took control of Aaron's body and growled at her."Don't touch her!" He yelled."Alpha" Monika bowed her head, feeling guilty for putting Aana through so much stress."Because of your stupid obsession with me, my mate went unconscious." He snapped and picked Aana up in his arms."Obsession.. You called my love obsession?" Monika asked when Rex took the step to take Aana towards his room. He took a deep breath to calm himself."Gabriel, if you don't want me to say something harsh to her then take your chosen mate away. " Rex said, taking Aana towards his room. He made her lay on the bed and kissed her forehead. "You shouldn't have talked to Monika like that" Aaron muttered to Rex calmly."Because of her, our mate went unconscious, and you're telling me
Author Pov's .Flashback Continue (5 years ago).Monika was sitting on the couch in the auditorium, looking at the decoration of Aaron's mansion with teary eyes. Everyone was preparing for Luna's ceremony, and it was her dream to become Luna of Aaron, but some dreams are meant to be broken. She sighed, exhausted after crying the entire night for Aaron. Monika stood up from the couch to go to her room. She was trying her best to accept Aaron is not hers but the truth is breaking her heart. She stopped in her tracks near the server and picked the glass of water from his tray, feeling her throat getting dry after shedding non-stop tears. She was about to keep the glass back on a tray that the waiter was holding. That's when her eyes went to Aaron and Aana, who were looking at each other with love.Aana encircles her hand around Aaron's neck and tiptoes to kiss his lips, bringing a smile to Aaron's face. Monika's heart twitched seeing them together. Instead of keeping the glass back
Monika Pov's.I shivered when Ryan left the room after smashing the door loudly. A single tear rolled from my eye which I quickly wiped off."Why do you always spoil the beautiful moments by bringing up bad memories, Monika?" Anika growled at me."Because maybe you forgot what happened in the past but I didn't, Anika. I didn't forget the outcome of every time I fell in love with someone," I replied and lay down on the bed, recalling what happened when I regained consciousness. I'm still unable to believe I found Anika standing closer to Ryan and asking him for permission to kiss me. Thank god I took control on time; otherwise, he would've again thought of someone who was forcing herself on a man."No. He was happy and about to kiss me" Anika argued. I shook my head."If that is so, then why didn't he clear up the misunderstanding when I was apologising to him?" I asked her. She went silent after not finding other reasons to dismiss the truth that Ryan hates us."I don't understand wh
Ryan Pov's."Wh--What" I stuttered after hearing Anika's question. She smiled and put her hand on my chest over my heart, feeling how fast it was beating after hearing her question."You heard me," she smirked. I would lie if I said I didn't like her confidence and proposal. I looked at her lips, which were looking so tempting."Answer me... Can I kiss you?" she asked. I opened my mouth to say something but closed it when suddenly her eyes colour changed, indicating Monika on the surface. Monika's eyes shot up when she realised how close I was standing to her. She tried to distance herself from me but my hand on her waist restrained her. She raised her head and looked at me anxiously."Ryan" She called me. I remove my hand, noticing how uncomfortable and anxious she is around me, unlike Anika, who asked me to kiss her a minute before. Monika parted away from me"I'm sorry on Anika's behalf" she whispered and started fidgeting with her fingers."She said and did things without thinki
Ryan Pov's."Now, if you're done staring at me, then bring something for me to eat. I'm starving." Anika growled in annoyance. I turned my head in another direction, realising I was openly staring at her."Go... I'm starving" She again shouted. I kept both my hands on my ear."Moon goddess! Why are you screaming? Are you planning to make me deaf?" I groaned."I'm in this condition because of you and my stupid human. I was warning her not to eat seafood, but like a crazy person in love, she ate seafood for you, and I had to use all my energy to heal her. If I were fit, then I wouldn't have to request you. I would've morphed and gone to the forest for the hunt." she said, glaring at me."I'm sorry" I again apologise to her for my behaviour."I don't need your sorry but food" she again shouted like a kid. "Okay... I'm going" I yelled in response and then shut my mouth when she started laughing. I shook my head, realising I started behaving like a child with her and then a smile broke o
Ryan Pov's.I was looking everywhere except Anika who was staring at me. She left me speechless after making me realise how wrong I was towards Monika."I'm hungry. Could you please bring something edible for me?" Anika requested. I looked at her and found a mild smile on her lips. I understood she was changing the topic to enlighten the atmosphere. I nodded and then stood up to bring the tray of food I kept on the table."I brought steak for you, and don't worry, he made this food in front of me," I said and served the steak on a plate for her."It means even you don't trust your pack members." She chuckled. I didn't say anything and sat beside her. She started eating while I was staring at her. The things she said about Monika put me into guilt. She made me realise how easily I judged Monika every time. I frowned when she rubbed her arms while chewing the food."What happened?" I asked, observing how uncomfortably she was sitting."It's cold over here" She whispered after munching
Ryan Pov's."What was that?" I thought, standing outside Monika's room. My heart was beating at a higher speed. Suddenly, Wild started laughing."What?" I groaned."I love the way you ran after she yelled at you," he laughed. I rolled my eyes and then smiled."That little kitten is full of surprise boxes," I replied and shook my head, then went downstairs to order the chef to cook steak as Monika demanded. He looked a little annoyed that I was asking him to make something for Monika but he didn't dare to say anything in front of me.I stood there until he cooked food for Monika, not wanting to take the risk. What if they mixed something in food out of anger. They love Jenny so much that they build hatred for Monika. "Where should I take this, Alpha?" The chef asked, serving steak in a container and keeping the container on a tray along with plates. I took the tray from him."I will take it" I replied and walked back to Monika's room. I took a deep breath before opening the door, won
Monika Pov's .In Present.Tears brimmed my eyes but I didn't shed them. I hate myself when I remember how crazy I became in Aaron's love who didn't even notice me for once. I don't blame him. Love doesn't happen forcefully or as we desire. It just happened... I loved him, and he loved Aana. "I hate myself for behaving like that with Aana. Thankfully, her babies were fine; otherwise, I don't know how I would've forgiven myself. I wouldn't be able to even look at myself in the mirror if something happened to Aana that day," I whispered, cursing myself for forgetting all the limits of my obsession with Aaron."Are you okay?" Anika asked through mindlink."I am... What will happen to me?" I laughed, trying to hide my emotions from her."Did you forget I'm part of you, Monika? You can pretend to be happy in front of the entire world, but you can't hide your emotions from me. I can feel what you're feeling from inside but I don't understand why you don't cry and let out your pain." Anik
