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 . 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,
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
