Now, let's see it from Landon's POV. I hope you will give them a chance and explore their story with them. It will be short, and I promise it will be worth it. Thank you all for reading. Happy Easter by the way.
Courtney's POVThis man. It was his scent I was perceived when I came here yesterday, and it confused me. Was he here before I came? Maybe he was. But it didn't matter, I wanted nothing to do with him. The man fucking ditched me on the day he was supposed to choose a Luna, and chose Natalia instead, and I was standing right beside her.I said that I didn't want my fated mate, because of the way my parents were to each other, but that day, meeting him and feeling the bond we had, I was willing to try.I remembered that day as clear as crystal. I liked him from the first glance, his intoxicating scent filled my lungs, and my wolf pushed me to go to him. I wanted to hold him, to know how it felt to be held by one's fated mate, someone who would always put me first. I waited that day as he walked around, searching for his Luna.At first I was afraid and a little restless, thinking the had someone else in mind, perhaps a girlfriend or fiancee, but I calmed down the moment I felt him steppi
Courtney's POVIt was morning the next day, Aaron, Natalia, Luca and I were sitting around the dining table, having breakfast. I wanted to ask about Landon, and why he was not here with us, but I refrained from asking. I was trying to get him off my mind. At least, until he stops being cocky and proves himself worthy of me. Yes, I was giving myself such high standard, because I believed that I deserved it. I was tired of getting my heart broken.I forced myself not to think of all my failed relationships, but they still found a way to creep into my mind. I always gave my all, I was always that sweet girl, who was easy to please, but I ended up being taken for granted. I was cheated on, lied to, bossed around, used as a pawn in a different game, even my own mate chose someone else to be with him instead of me, and now I was done. Totally done!I would reject him if he did not meet up to my standard, if he does not treat me right, if he still ends up picking other girls instead of me. I
Courtney's POVAfter I left Landon's room, I went to join Natalia in the gym. We were both running on treadmills, but I was going a little too fast and hard."Are you trying to keep fit, or you want to destroy the treadmill?" Natalia teased, and that was when I realized how fast I was going, but I didn't slow down."Maybe both."She only chuckled. I turned to her, and I wondered why I was not angry at her. I was going to marry Aaron, but she ended up as his mate. That one was bearable, at least, he was hers. But Landon was mine, but he still chose her over me.I ran a little faster. I knew it wasn't her fault. It was just a stupid coincidence."I think Alpha Landon likes you." She suddenly stated, and I slowed down."Really?""Yeah. I noticed the way he looked at you yesterday, and even this morning at breakfast. He can't seem to get his eyes off you. I don't blame him though, you are beautiful."I smiled a little at her compliment."But I noticed that you don't seem to like him. In ca
Courtney's POVI had been cursing Landon over and over again. It was already night, and I was still thinking about him and his kiss. I marvelled at the way he effortlessly broke down the wall I so carefully and meticulously built. He had left now, and I even considered going with him. I even asked. So much for me not throwing myself at anyone anymore.I tossed and turned in my bed, unable to get any sleep. It was only a kiss, how come I was this messed up? Now I regretted not collecting his phone number. He asked me for mine after we left the gym, but I stubbornly refused to give him. I told him that he knew where to find me if he needs me.Now my insecurities crept back in. What if he didn't come back? What if he cheats on our bond? What if he thought I was not good enough? He told me that he would be back in one week, but I could not help but find myself doubting him. I had spent so much time and energy loving all the wrong men, and now my love life was damaged. I could not seem to
Courtney's POVI had been counting the days until I would see him again. Time had never been so slow. I had busied myself with the pack business of the Shadow flame pack. Natalia had told me and shown me her new Luna duties, and she seemed to be happy with them. I also enjoyed all the times we visited the nursery, and spend time with all the bubbly children there. It made me feel like a child again. But all these did not stop me from missing him. All because of a kiss.I pray to the goddess everyday that he turns out to be good for me. I knew that I was already wrapped up in him, and it would break me if he ended up treating me like all the other men I had been with. My mind urged me to guard myself, while my heart wanted me to give him a chance.I got up from bed that morning. This was the sixth day of waiting for him. If he kept to his word, he would be here tomorrow. I had waited for six days, one more day wasn't too much.I entered the bathroom and took a shower, before coming out
Natalia's POVGuilt! It was all I felt. Since courtney knew me, I had been causing her pain. I had tried to give her a wonderful experience, to try and make up for my betrayal, but here I was. I caused her pain, and I had no idea. She was supposed to hate me for always coming in between her and the men she wants. Maybe she did now."I don't understand." Courtney stated, confusion etched on her brows.I took a deep breath as I tried to explain to her. It wasn't everyone that knew about gifted wolves, as we were very rare."I am a gifted wolf. We are not very common to come across. Being gifted means to have special abilities. It could be good, like being able to heal others, bringing fated mates together, seeing the future and so on. It could also be bad, like causing distasters, being a bad omen, there as so many actually. I still don't understand what my own is or how to actually control it. Before Aaron marked me, unmated alphas were attracted to me. I don't have an explanation. I a
Landon's POVI held my mate in my arm as we went to bed. I kept pulling her closer, as if she was not close enough. Her soft body just felt perfect in my hold, and I wished the night would never end. I also kept placing kisses in her hair from time to time, while I enjoyed the way her hand freely roamed my chest. We were both quiet, but I still felt satiated just by holding her.I felt so happy when she told me that she would be going back with me. I knew that she was still doubtful, but it meant a lot that she chose to trust me. I didn't know if it was exactly trust, but I was grateful for whatever it was, as long as I was able to hold her."Landon?" She called softly, and a smile appeared on my face hearing her call my name."Yes, love.""I believe you now. Natalia explained to me what happened."I frowned. "She explained to you? How could she know?""It is not your fault. It is not hers either. She is..." She hesitated as if not sure if she should tell me. "It is not in my place to
Courtney's POVMy heart thudded loudly when we crossed the border of his pack. I was nervous as I thought about the thing and people to expect. Landon looked my way from time to time, giving me a reassuring smile.After driving for a few more minutes, we arrived a white but beautiful bungalow. Landon came down first, before I did. I stared at the house in confusion. Could this be the pack house? I seriously doubted that.He came to my side and took my hand. There were buttons outside, and he put in his passcode. The door opened and we entered. I could not deny that this place was beautiful. I loved the environment and everything. It was neat, serene and classy. I just wondered why he didn't take me to the pack house.He took me to one of the bedrooms, and told me it was ours. I blushed at the way he said it was ours, instead of mine. I knew that I was totally whipped now, but I didn't fight it anymore.The room was large and spacious, with a big bed with grey sheets in the middle. I me
