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
Monika Pov's."You're scaring me now, Moon... What happened?" He asked, breaking the hug and cupping my face."Why are you crying?" he asked anxiously when I didn't reply. I was about to keep my hand on his cheek but stopped when I saw my palm covered in blood."Ryan" I look at him, widening my eyes. He was so worried for me that he didn't even complain when I accidentally touched his wound."Yeah... I'm listening... Tell me why you're crying" He asked, still ignoring his pain for me. Tears were falling from my eyes non-stop."Yo---You were injured and I-- I doubted you... Yo---You" I wasn't even able to speak properly because of crying. He shook his head and wiped my tears."Hey...Calm down... It's okay... I'm not mad at you" He said. I shook my head."No... You... You are injured" I sobbed. I don't know why his injury is affecting me so much. It feels like he is not the one who is in pain but me."I'm fine... It's a small injury," He said, trying to calm me down. I didn't listen to
Ryan Pov's . I was looking at Monika who fell asleep in my arms while crying. It took me half an hour to calm her. Unintentionally, again, I became the reason behind her tears. "She was crying because we were in pain" Wild whispered as if Monika would wake up hearing his voice. I kissed Monika's forehead. "Shouldn't she hate us after how we behave with her?" I asked Wild. "Some people are like this only, Ryan. They don't know how to hurt or hate someone" he replied. I nodded and picked Monika up in my arms to take her to her room so that she could sleep properly on her bed. After lying her body on the bed, I was about to go, but she didn't let go of my arm, and when I tried to release my hand from her grip, she squirmed. "Dare you to wake her up" Wild scowled. I sighed and lay down beside Monika, waiting for her to go into deep slumber so that I could release my arm from her grip without waking her up, but what I didn't know was that I would fall asleep with her. "Ryan" I wok
Ryan Pov's .I gulped when Monika tightened her fist in anger and then turned her head in another direction."I can't believe this" She grunted and then started cursing me under her breath."You're cursing me in front of me only" I muttered shockingly."You can cheat on me and I can't even curse... Slow clap to you" She scoffed and took a step closer to me."You're feeling offended because I curse you.. what will you do when I break your junior for playing around?" She hissed. I gulped and took a step back. "It's not what you're thinking, Moon," I said and kept my hand on my cr*tch, knowing this woman could do anything."Stop moving" She snarled and took a step closer to me. I shook my head and took two steps back. She glares at me and shows me her claws."Stop all this nuisance, Ryan, because you don't know how dangerous and possessive I am. If I saw you romancing with her or any other girl, then you're dead," She warned me and then smiled when I nodded. She tapped on my cheek."Go
Author Pov's .Flashback(After Ryan decided to accept Monika as her mate).Ryan was looking at Monika, adoring her in the red dress she was wearing while Monika was waiting for him to speak or say she was waiting for him to ask her to reject him."I know why you came here" she whispered, fidgeting with her fingers, then raised her head to finally look at Ryan."Believe me you don't" he said, smiling like a fool. She squeezed her eyebrows. His smile was confusing her."Monika" he called her lovingly and then took her hand in his hand."I know you're here to ask me to reject you" She muttered and closed her eyes to control the unwanted tears. He shook his head."I'm ready to reject you," she said, and a tear rolled from her eyes. Ryan kept her hand on her cheek and lovingly wiped her tears."Monika" She opened her eyes and looked at him."I accept" Before he could complete and tell her he wanted to accept her, a woman in her forties came near them while calling for Monika.Ryan parte
Author Pov's .Monika was looking at Gabriel who opened his eyes and looked at her when she didn't respond."Huh?" She gave him a confusing look because the whole time, the thought of their relationship didn't even cross her mind. She was just worried for Gabriel before and was now happy that he had found his mate, but Gabriel was adamant about ending things between him and Monika."Ohh... Wait! Our relationship" Monika muttered and then closed her eyes and cursed herself for being so stupid and taking things slow. She opened her eyes and looked at Gabriel. She felt awkward now that he brought up the topic of their relationship."I... I can understand... Rose is alive." She bites her tongue, realising she is making things complicated."I mean to say I can understand you can't be with me," She said and passed him a smile, unable to understand how to share with him that even she didn't want to continue this relationship and had feelings for Ryan. She shook her head, thinking of telling
Author Pov's.Monika was looking at Gabriel's fated mate, Rose, widening her eyes while Gabriel, who was expecting this reaction from Monika, became anxious suddenly. He knew that it would be hard for Monika to accept that his fated mate had returned. He stood up and went near Monika."She is alive" Monika kept her hand over her mouth, and a tear of happiness rolled from her eyes because she knew how much Rose meant to his friend, Gabriel. Monika was happy, but Gabriel took the wrong meaning behind her tears, thinking she was feeling bad that Rose was alive, which indirectly meant the end of their relationship."Rose" Monika was about to go near Rose when Gabriel blocked her path confusing her with his action."I won't let you harm her," He said, glaring at her."Harm her?" She frowned."If you think you can hurt my mate like you hurt Aana then you're wrong. I won't let you touch a single strand of my mate's hair," He grimaces. "I---I was happy that she is alive and was going near t
Author Pov's .Ryan kneeled in front of Monika and wiped her tears, then held her shoulder to make her stand. She was looking at him silently."Why are you crying now?" He snarled, hating to see tears in her eyes."I never wanted to hurt you," she whispered. He looked at her and then sighed."Stop crying," he said in a calm tone, not wanting to see her like this. She nodded and tightened her lips to keep herself from crying. After a minute of silence, she raised her head and looked at him, only to find him staring at her. She again broke down into tears, realising she lost her friendship and love again. After falling in love with Ryan, she is sure she can't come into a relationship with Gabriel, and now, Smshe is afraid that Gabriel will break the friendship after hearing her decision, and it won't change anything because her love, Ryan, already hates her. She lost both Ryan and Gabriel today."What do you want, Monika? I will do as you say, but please stop crying," Ryan said, bendi
