Dane's POV
I 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
Chapter 130Gianna's POV"Dane, I can explain... I." I trailed off when he glanced at me for a moment then continued wiping the sides of his mouth.My mouth suddenly felt heavy and bitter and it was worse because his mind was blank. I couldn't tell what he was thinking, I didn't even know he already knew the secret I was hiding, being embarrassed was an understatement to how I felt right now.He smiled. "It's fine" He waved it off like it was nothing since he already knew I was lying.It wasn't fine, he had already discovered a huge chunk about my past and this was something I wanted to tell him myself and I was worried by the fact that he was so calm and cool about it when he was supposed to be shouting the whole house down.That was the Dane I knew, the man I was mated to.The man sitting in front of me wasn't Dane and it made me so scared as I wrapped my hands around my body for comfort.
Gianna's POVI lied again.This was supposed to be an avenue for me to reveal all my secrets once and for all like I originally promised but I just realized that I haven't healed from my past and it would actually take a while before I come to the realization that things would never be the same.He was acting this way before he found out half of my secrets, what would be his reaction if he found out the rest of it, he'd definitely kill me and feed me off to rogues.“I just asked you a fucking question Gianna!”I am suddenly shaken and I jump up at the sound of his voice, I turn around to meet his golden orbs.“Are you looking for more ways to lie to me, you do know I do not believe that bullshit you just uttered, for your sake and that of everything you hold dear, you better tell me the truth. I swear you would not like the outcome.” His deep voice echo
Gianna's POV Hate.Deep resentment, that's the only thing I felt right now and not for Dane, but for myself. Things were turning sour because of me, I thought I could handle things on my own and now look at where it had gotten me.Never in a million years did I think I would be kneeling in front of a man and actually submitting to him. It would have happened eventually but being forced to do so made it worse. My parents would actually be rolling in their graves at the disappointment I had become."Say the words Gianna."My body crumbles to the floor as he hits my back making me bend lower. I didn't need to look at his face to realize he was smirking down at me. He had finally gotten what he wanted, the satisfaction that he could have ultimate control over me and not rub shoulders with him because of my status, but that was not even my intent, I had other plans but disrespecting him was out of the list."I can't Dane, please don't make me do this, don't force me against my will, I'v
Gianna's POVIt sounded really stupid and crazy when an omega came into my room immediately after Dane left and informed me that Dane had given strict instructions that I be taken to a separate room in the house which would be strictly monitored by guards for the rest of today.I didn't argue with the omega because I do not want to make a fool out of myself in the presence of my subjects, but Dane was beginning to get on my nerves and doing too much because of a lie he already found out the truth.What if I had told him instead?No doubt he would have had me whipped before his pack members till I bleed to death.He was being inhumane in his actions.Dragging my feet, with the omega following closely, I finally reached the room which was at the far end of the hallway.It was similar to my old room but it didn't make it less dem
Gianna's POVMy wolf howls inside me and reprimands me with insulting statements but do I care? No, the only thing on my mind is my pack, I am not even thinking right now.I pant like crazy trying to keep my breathing stable, how I was able to escape Dane was such a miracle, I had actually tiptoed out of the pack house.I opened the gate seeing the guards were distracted with bottles of liquor. I couldn't fault them, there is going to be a party here in a few hours.A party I might likely miss because of the urgent need to warn my pack of the impending doom even though I knew more than half of the back wouldn't take me seriously and would probably kill me but I was willing to take the risk.There is a public market outside the pack house, where the she wolves use the coronation ceremony as an avenue to display their wares because of the dignitaries that'd grace the ceremony
Gianna's POVI couldn't say a single word till we got to the confines of the pack house. It seemed like I was nothing but a vegetable, I just felt useless.Dane remained quiet too, I expected him to at least say something, give me reasons why he would take my powers without my permission.It was not as if I was in trouble and that was the only way to save me, he actually took all of my powers to show superiority?We got into the room,he made sure he followed me into the new prison he designed for me. He was about to lock the door when my words made him halt his movements.“Why did you do this Dane! Why!” I cried out.He blinks at my reaction, as if I am crying for no reason, he was making me look stupid and I hated it when he treated me like a child.Dane looks at me with a penetrating gaze before he rubs his temples. “I'm saving your powers till when you can use it, you're too young to handle the powers you possess as Alpha. It'd weigh you down eventually, when the time is right and
Gianna's POV“Everything is ready Luna, all the guests have arrived, and the omegas are patiently waiting outside to escort you to the venue!” Angel said from behind me, excitement evident in her voice, as she tugged my hair gently to put it in place as I sighed tiredly.“Don't you think this is a bad idea, Angel?” I asked for the umpteenth time. You won't blame me, I just couldn't shake off the fact that I was making a bad decision.“Bad idea? Are you kidding me now, Gia? You have the life every sane woman would die for”. She giggled gingerly while I looked out of the window to reminisce what had happened these past few months.I am still astonished with the fact that I was about to be crowned the Luna of this pack despite the bumpy beginning.“ I just wish Miles is not in jail right now, I swear I tried to talk to Dane he is…."“No, Gia, don't you dare apportion blames on yourself for Miles mistakes! The only thing you've to focus on is your coronation. Miles is being punished for
