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, agreeing with you. "yeah... Thank you," I replied and turned to go towards the room she pointed at. That's when my eyes went to Ryan, who was looking at me, standing at a little distance. I tightened my fist after seeing the mark of lipstick on his shirt. "How can someone be so shameless?" I grunted under my breath and opened the door of the room the maid pointed at. Before I would have walked inside, the bucket kept above the door flipped and a lot of mud fell on me. I gasped and moved back and my back hit something hard. I turned and found Ryan standing behind me. "Ry--Ryan" I took a step away from him but my leg slipped. He held me by the waist before my butt would have touched the ground and pulled me closer to him. I kept my hands on his chest to balance myself, looking at him shockingly while he was glaring at me. I could feel his heart which was beating at a higher speed, showing how furious he was at me. I gulped when he looked at his white shirt, which I ruined with my dirty hands. "I'm sorry" I apologise and try to move away from him, but his hand is still wrapped around my waist. My heart was pounding in my chest heavily, realising how close we were. "If his one touch can do this to us, then I wonder what will happen when he will make love to us", Anika giggled. I closed my eyes and cursed under my breath, then opened my eyes after a minute, only to find his eyes still on me. "Ryan" "huh," He looked at me as if he came to his senses after I called him. "Your hand" I whispered in a low tone, not even sure if he heard me or not. He nodded and removed his hand. "What is happening over here?" He grunted and looked at the maids, who were laughing after seeing me covered in mud. They stopped laughing and bowed their heads. "We were just welcoming our friend", One of the maids said. Ryan sighed and looked at me. "How can someone be so dumb. I thought you would survive here but" He shook his head in disappointment. Anika was growling in my head, wanting to come out and rip the head off all she-wolves for playing this stupid prank, but I didn't let her. I want to win this pack member's heart with love, not with fear. "I was coming back to my room when this lady came ." Before I could complete he kept his finger on my lips. My eyes shot up and my heart again started jumping in my chest at higher speed. "You should think twice before taking a single step in this villa... Everyone hates you here including me." He warned me, looking into my eyes. I frowned, wondering if he was also involved in this stupid prank. "You should've been cautious after seeing the hatred everyone held for you." He said and then removed his finger from my lips, taking his steps away from me. I took a deep breath which I don't know since when I'm holding. "How are we going to fight or say anything in front of him when his single touch makes me forget everything? Why has he still had so much effect on me despite us rejecting each other a long time ago?" I asked Anika frustratingly who laughed at my words. "Clean this mess" I came back to the world, hearing Ryan. I looked at the maid, who was laughing at me… “Why are they so happy? He just ordered them to clean up this mess.” I thought and frowned, unable to understand the reason behind their smile. "Why are you looking at maids?" He snarled. I scrunched my eyebrow and looked at him. "Clean this floor" He repeated his order, looking at me. "Are you ordering me?" I ask, pointing a finger at my chest. "Yes, you... You need to learn a lesson so that next time you will be careful before trusting anyone… Now clean this floor and" he took a step closer to me, trying to intimidate me. "And?" "Next time, don't come closer to me. Your presence makes me feel suffocated," He said in a venomous tone, making my heart twitch in pain. My eyes went to the lipstick mark on the collar of his shirt. I tightened my fist in anger and jealousy. "Of course, my presence will suffocate you when you have someone else to warm your bed" He looked at me bewildered as if he didn't know what I was talking about. "I saw you kissing that girl", I hissed in a low tone and pushed him away, not caring if my dirty hands ruined his shirt. Everyone present there gasped and looked at me shockingly, not expecting that I would give a reply to their as*hole Alpha. Ryan smirked after seeing my reaction, maybe enjoying how jealous I am after seeing him with someone else. "Marry, give her a bucket of clean water and a mob to clean the floor" he ordered, showing me how much power he held on me. I smirked and shook my head. "You want me to clean this floor?" I asked and then grinned when he nodded. He raised his eyebrow seeing my confidence. My wedding gown has three layers. I lifted the first layer and tore it... Everyone's eyes widened seeing my action. I threw the torn piece of gown on the ground and mopped the floor with that cloth using my feet. Make sure not to leave a single clean surface around. Now the entire floor around me is covered with mud. Ryan's eyes were fixed on me, observing every single thing I was doing. There was a smirk on his lips which I badly wanted to wipe off. I left that cloth and moved towards him. "My presence suffocates you... My hands are dirty... I'm a piece of" "Don't", he hissed, interrupting me. He can say those words to me but I can't repeat them. I kept my hand on his cheek, spoiling his handsome face with mud. "Now you're as dirty as I am, my fated mate" I smirked, looking into his eyes.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.Six 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 him when his
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
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
