Gianna's POV
I walked from Dane's office down the Hallway to Angel's room. After knocking, I opened the door and looked left and right trying to look for any trace of Beta Miles.
God knows I'd melt if my eyes met his, I wouldn't want to admit it but I was afraid of that man.
Angel seemed so busy that I thought it wrong for me to disturb but I needed someone to talk to, to get this burden off my chest.
Her eyes landed on me and I offered her a smile before she stood up and enveloped me in a warm hug, I sighed in relief on her shoulders.
"You don't look good, are you okay?" She asked as she scribbled some words on paper and I shook my head, waving it off dismissively.
I had canceled the thoughts of discussing my problems with her at the last minute, I doubt if she'd even understand when she had problems of her own.
"Uh, it's nothing but a minor headache, Dane and I were discussing the Luna ceremony." I said covering up the worried
Gianna's POV"How're you feeling now?" Dane asked me as he walked into the sitting room holding a glass of juice.Dayna, the pack healer came a few hours ago and cleaned my wounds and also gave me some medications for easy recovery.Thanks to my wolf genes, the injuries were already barely visible.I shrugged my shoulders and collected the glass from him."Well, if I knew, I wouldn't have interfered in their issue but he was acting so violent and I was so afraid for Angel because of her condition not knowing I would be at the receiving end of all the attacks."Dane looked deep in thoughts as he settled on the space near me on the couch.
Gianna's POVDane stayed back in his office for the night to review some documents and as such, I had to sleep alone making the night short and uneventful and plagued with nightmares.I woke up and glanced at the table clock in my room and it said 9:28. I guess I had managed to fall asleep in the early hours of the morning and I didn't realize it.My stomach growled, I barely ate anything last night, and hunger was dealing with me already.Right now, I was supposed to be with Dayna, to assist her with the pups or Angel who was going to be my guide today to shop. I couldn't help but wonder where Dane got the money from, even when he said he was broke.I stood up from my bed, yawning hungrily and stretching my limbs. After I heard a satisfactory crack, I made an exit out of the room after changing into a simple choice of clothing and performed my morning hygiene.I had changed into a pair of brown sweat pants and a white crop top and pac
Gianna's POVThe male Gamma who had taken up the position of the Beta for the meantime informed me that the Alpha would be busy for the rest of the day. I had no choice but to wait for him until he returned.He had to give me a positive answer today because I had promised Angel and I cannot go back on my words.After eating breakfast, I quickly headed back to the quarters and had my shower. After that, I went to assist the pack healer for a while and familiarize myself with the pack members.After hours of nursing the sick to health, I went back to my room to take a shower to rid myself of the smell of blood and sweat while I listened to some cool music to calm my nerves.I made my way to the sitting room still dressed in my robe, my eyebrows knitted together as a foreign aroma hit my nose.I decided to follow the scent and it led me to the kitchen, just then my eyes landed on a red haired omega stirring something on the stove, s
Gianna's POVImmediately Kerra left, I headed straight to the dining room and took a seat, looking down at my food and contemplating whether or not to wait for Dane.I looked at the wall clock, time was running so fast and my tolerance for hunger was running thin, I had not eaten anything since breakfast.Shrugging, I dug into the meal and shoved the roasted meat into my mouth, moaning as the delicious taste hit my tastebuds.Damn, Kerra is a goddess of food.Every meal Kerra made was a masterpiece, I was always overfed from her meals back then in my pack and as Alpha I wasn't supposed to touch anything or engage in pack chores, hence the major reason I couldn't prepare a decent meal but Kerra thought me some cooking tricks that could help me if need calls for it.My eyes lightened up when I took a spoonful of the soup and just when I was about to take another piece of meat, a growl cut me off. I turned my head to see Dane leaning against th
Gianna's POVI went to my room immediately I said those words leaving Dane in shock. He didn't stop me but I felt his eyes on me the whole time causing a sway in my movement as I made my way to my bedroom.Letting out a long and frustrated sigh, I made my way to the bathroom and washed my face and teeth. Just when I was about to climb into bed, a loud knock made me halt in my movement and I muttered words under my breath before I opened the door.Opening the door, I saw Dane standing there with his hands in his pockets staring at me like I had done something to him.Raising my brows with my arms folded against my chest expecting him to say something but he just remained mute. I was beginning to get irritated with his silence plus I was standing for too long when I was supposed to be in bed resting my tired bones."Did you really mean what you said out there?" He asked as he pulled his hands out from his pockets and crossed it over his chest.
Dane's POVThe fact that Gianna wasn't willing to listen to me was making me livid and I hated the feeling because it made me want to do unreasonable things because she was not appreciating my efforts.I was deep in thoughts in my office when I felt a presence in my office and I turned my head to the door frame and noticed Angel leaning against the door frame. I furrowed my eyebrows because I didn't know when she got here even though I sent for her."What did you tell Gianna?" I asked, my voice laced with anger. Angel cleared her throat and stood straighter, avoiding my eyes."I didn't tell Gianna anything Alpha, is there a problem?" She answered and my body stiffened.I hated when I was being lied to, I cleared my thro
Dane's POVI stood up quickly from my chair with a look of disgust and surprise evident on my face."Is this what desperation has reduced you to? You think you can actually play mind games on me and I'd fall for your manipulation? Listen Angel, I don't want to repeat this again, let's just pretend this conversation never happened and go back to our normal lives, just get out of my office and continue your duties."She glared back at me, her eyes narrowed as she stood up and came around my desk."I beg your pardon, you think I'd actually like just to be in your good books? Yeah, I want to be in your good books but believe me Alpha, I would not tell a lie. I mean everything I said, Miles actually plotted against you to dupe you. As we speak, he has companies already functioning in the human pack. I can give you the address so you can see things for yourself.""Miles is a whole lot of things but definitely not a betrayer, he would never do that
Gianna's POVThe rituals for my Luna ceremony began today and I did not know how to feel. If I go on with this ceremony, it means I was finally ditching my pack and forgetting about all my plans to get what it's finally mine, I mean there were people like Kerra who looked up to me for redemption.The first phase of the ceremony was going to begin by 12am under the glow of the moon and I just had a few hours to tell Dane everything, and seriously I feared what his reaction would be.Would he hate me for keeping this from him for too long or would he support my plans?Dane hated lies, he told me this from the inception but I just couldn't open up to me, the female gamma informed me on our way back from shopping that miles had slumped from the excessive beatings Dane had subjected him to.I felt like a bad person and I know for a fact that I'd never be in Miles good books ever again, seriously speaking, I'd have to be careful from henceforth bec
