POV: Shea Vestine
She didn’t know whether it was a good thing that Denver had declared that he was her mate or not. A lot of their pack members were too cautious to go near here now.
Shea let out a deep sigh as she went back to their house. She didn’t know whether her mother and Uncle Leandro were already home, but she needed to talk to them the moment they arrived.
But she must have been out of luck that day because Lexi was at home.
Apparently, she might have no face to show because of what happened to them earlier.
“So, you have finally shown your true colors.” She disgustedly commented.
She thought that she would finally stop telling her nasty things, but she guessed it all wrong.
Shea heaved a deep sigh.

It was understandable, though. She just slept for a few minutes last night, and Denver took the opportunity to make love with her again… taking her to possible heaven for a few more rounds before they finally settled down. He was indeed unsatiable.But she loved every bit of it.She still couldn’t believe how he made her a woman last night.Everything seemed surreal, and she couldn’t believe that she had the guts to do everything that she did last night. Her cheeks turned a brighter shade of pink as she remembered a glimpse of what happened.Now, it wasn’t surprising that she woke up so late. It might be lunch time already.

Every day became so special for Shea. She felt so special being with Denver. She felt so happy being with him… being caged in his arms.She was declared the Luna of their pack, and she tried too hard to be with Denver and learn from him. She thought that it would be hard for her to do her duty, but Denver was so patient with her. He was a great leader and teacher.Shea was enjoying every bit of it, anyway. She loved being with him – and working with him.Apart from the things that she had right now. The position, the power, the connection – all of it.However, she didn’t care any of it. All that she wanted was to be with him – and support him.

Chapter 12Burden***POV: Shea Vestine-ThorneDoes love really fade? Or can it be eternal? How is that even possible?Shea saw how her parents loved each other until the end. She witnessed their undying love for each other. She saw how they treasure each other – get contented and had supported each other through thick and thin.However, her mother remarried after her father died.Does that mean that her love for her father has already faded because of Lexi’s father? Does that mean she loves her father less now? Or was it because she needed someone beside her to live in this challenging world just for her to survive?She didn’t know. And thinking about it now, she couldn’t help but feel helpless. She couldn’t stop herself from being saddened as she stared at the open window – watching the curtains being swayed by the cold wind.Shea bit her lower lip when her eyes met the empty side of the bed – where Denver was supposed to be sleeping.

She clenched her jaw as her hands turned into balled fists – disheveling the sheets on the bed where she was lying.“Ahh!”She moaned in desire as she felt Denver’s tongue inserted in her wet core – steel but pleasurable. She wanted to stop him as she felt the embarrassment that was succumbing her, but the pleasure was just too much that she just couldn’t stop him.Especially that Denver held her legs firmly so she would stay still.“Ahhh!”She loudly moaned – her desire was already overflowing.

And Shea didn’t know how to accept the fact that after everything she did… after everything she gave…Shea swallowed the lump in her throat as she stared at the dark night sky.The cold breeze just intensified the numbness that she felt as she continued walking to nothing. She couldn’t think of anything. It was as if her mind was already blank – and simply walking out of nowhere.She thought that after what happened to her and Denver, everything would finally turn out to be fine.

Not now that she was already under her microscopic sight, and she wouldn’t want her to dig deep into what was happening to her and Denver. She wouldn’t want to stick on her nose up at her, or else her mother might also be too worried about her.And that was the least of the things that she wanted right now.Her mother had always been too worried ab

She could hear the solemn music created by the musicians with their violins and piano. Rose petals were scattered, and its scent was mixed with the atmosphere – at least, it was making it more soothing. Candles were lit, creating a solemn and cozy environment.Everything happened so fast.And she didn’t know how to deal with it anymore.She mentally let out a deep sigh.It was finally her birthday.

He quickly went to the palace at King Levi’s command. She believed that it was related to Denver. She wanted to come, but she needed to meet with her mother and Carrie.“He is with the King, Miss.” Tristan courteously replied.Her inner wolf was becoming so restless inside her that she grunted at his obvious lie.She knew that something was happening, and she wanted to know the truth. She had all the right to know about what happened to Denver. She was just so worried already.“Please, I want to know what the hell is happening.” She sincerely pleaded – for she wanted answers and no other sugarcoating words.Tristan couldn’t look at her in the eyes.

He was already used to his sarcasm, and he didn’t care… at all. As if he would scare him out of his wits just because of the way he talks to him.He mentally scoffed at that thought.“Come on, it isn’t as if it is just for my sake.” He slightly shook his head – like he was amused at what his cousin was playing at right now.This time, he couldn’t stop himself from raising his left brow. He knew what he was trying to do now. He was surely trying so hard to manipulate him – but unluckily he knew him better.Besides, he couldn’t be Levi Storm if he wasn’t like this.A playful and sly man – if he wanted

This is supposed to be our girl’s night out.” Her voice was laced with both annoyance and anger – and she didn’t understand where it was coming from.Shea let out a deep sigh – as she stared at her best friend intensely.“Why is there a problem?” She curiously asked.Carrie blew a deep and exaggerated sigh before throwing a swift glance at Tristan again and rolling her eyes.Shea was becoming more and more curious of her reaction. It seemed like…However, that might be too advance of her.“You know what, Shea, you are already married and all, but still as innocent as a baby. I hate to say this, but is he a girl to you?

However, based on Denver’s expression, she just knew that she heard him right.And it was making her a bit more confused than ever.‘What is he talking about?’ She asked herself mentally.However, she tried her very best to even gather all her senses up. She wanted to compose herself – so, she would be able to think rationally. But it was all mess up inside her.Shea swallowed the lump in her throat.“B-Beast…?” Shea uttered it under her breath – almost inaudible.But it was enough for Denver to hear.Her mind was in deep haywire right at that very moment.

Apparently that she was done with it… that she had no more tears to shed but apparently, she was wrong.She hadn’t thought that the happiness she felt and the overflowing love she had felt with Denver had already ended in a snap.‘What should I do now?’ Her mind was drifting somewhere else, but she didn’t even know what or where it was.The scorching sun couldn’t even make her feel warm as the coldness still lingered in her every vein… slowly consuming her and that even her inner wolf couldn’t stop whimpering inside her… as if it
