Chapter twenty five: Conspiracy Mika's POVI left the office and I could feel tears welling up in my eyes. I tried to hold them back but I could not stop the flood of emotions that came pouring out.I ran down the hallway away from the Alpha's office and found myself in the courtyard surrounded by trees. I really do not understand why Tristan hates me so much, no matter how hard I show him that I love him.I leaned against the tree, my head bowed, as I struggled to contain my emotions. The tears continued to fall, and I felt as if my heart was breaking. I had thought I could get Tristan to love me, I thought that with Gianna out of the picture, I would finally live the life I had envisioned for myself.My love for Tristan burned within me like a raging fire, yet he did not seem to notice. No matter what I did, he remained aloof and distant. I had hoped that he would love me more than he loved Gianna but it was clear that he did not share my feelings.I felt like a fool, like I had
Chapter twenty six: Wandering thoughts Miles POVI sat in my room alone with my thoughts.The events of the past few days replayed in my mind, over and over again and I couldn't shake the feeling of dread that had settled over me, a heavy weight pressing down on my chest. I didn't know what to do anymore.I was duty bound to protect my sister, those were my parents' last words to me but at this point my hands were tied, I didn't know what to believe anymore.Was Dane in love with that woman or was he just overwhelmed by guilt? I was so lost in his thoughts that I didn't hear my wife enter the room. I looked up, startled, as she stood before me. "Miles, please," she said softly. "I need to talk to you."I regarded her warily, not sure what to expect. "What is it, Angel?" I asked, my voice guarded.She took a deep breath, and her next words sent a chill through my body. "I'm going to visit Gianna."Blood drained from my face, and I felt my world begin to spin. "What? No, you can't!
Chapter Twenty seven: MuteGianna's POV"I can't believe this is happening to me," I thought, my heart sinking as I tried to speak but found only silence. "Why does everything always seem to go wrong?"I couldn't help but feel like the world was against me. No matter what I did, it seemed like nothing ever went my way. I was filled with a mix of terror and confusion. I had only wanted to help, and yet now I was being attacked by the very person I had tried to save. I couldn't get the Alpha out of my mind, I can still remember how the Alpha's hands tightened around my throat, I struggled to breathe, and my heart was pounding in my chest. I felt betrayed and helpless. I had wanted to do the right thing, but it had all gone so wrong, I felt like a victim of cruel fate, trapped in a nightmare from which I couldn't wake up.I could feel my breath coming in short, ragged gasps as I desperately tried to speak. But no matter how hard I tried, not a single word escaped my lips. I clut
Chapter twenty eight: I hate the rogue! Miles POVI do not understand the kind of stubborn person the moon goddess gave to me as a mate.My mate and I were in the middle of a heated argument. We were fighting about whether or not to let her visit Gianna, who was sick. I wanted to keep my mate away, because I didn't want her anywhere near Gianna But my mate was adamant. We were both shouting, and the tension in the room was palpable."You're being unreasonable" I shouted, my voice rising. "Can't you see that this is for the best?""No, I can't see that," my mate yelled back, her face flushed with anger. "You're being selfish and short-sighted. Gianna needs me right now. Can't you see how much she's hurting? Can't you show a little compassion?"I balled up my fists, and I could feel my pulse racing. I was so angry, and I wanted to lash out. I wanted to hurt my mate, to make her understand how I was feeling. But as I raised my fist, something stopped me. I couldn't bring myself to do i
Chapter 29: The Alpha is now a monster Beta Miles POVMy phone was literally blowing up with millions of calls and text messages. Handling a pack as large as this was a huge problem and to make matters worse, Dane has solely handed everything to me, totally ignoring his duties as Alpha all because of that so-called rogue.Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through my head causing me to gasp. Sitting up on the bed, I held my head in pain as I quietly hissed to myself waiting until the throbbing pain in my head lessened. I dragged myself into the bathroom, gazing at myself in the mirror, I had become a shadow of myself in days all because I was carrying the weight of my problems alone on my shoulders.I was exhausted and it showed on my face, my eyes were sunken and I looked haggard. I brushed my wet hair before stepping into the shower allowing the steamy hot water to stream down my body.Somehow, Shanna invaded my thoughts as images of her bound in her cell room kept appearing in my head.
Chapter thirty: The Alpha hurt me again Beta Miles POV"No... No, that's not possible. It was only a few kicks and punches, I mean I expected someone to stop me. You know how I get when my wolf takes over me in my angry state, I barely have a hold over myself" The Alpha said as he paced the length of breath of the room repeating incoherent words to himself.Did this man just say a few kicks and punches? Even I wouldn't have survived the severity of those blows, they were brutal.He rushed to Angel and she screamed angrily making Dane take two steps back in guilt and fear."Are you happy now! Are you satisfied?" Angel asked crying as Dane tried to come closer but Angel glared angrily at him hugging Gianna's bloodied body to herself."How could you Dane, how could you hurt this innocent girl like this, she did absolutely nothing to you, the only thing she did wrong was wandering into this pack and trying to save you when your adulterous wife tried to kill you but...""Angel..." I warne
Chapter Thirty one: I hurt the rogue, again Dane's POVHours passed after a series of training sessions with the warriors but still I wasn't relaxed. There was this tugging feeling in my chest that I desperately needed to let go off.I had spent all my time transferring aggression on the warriors and my wolf kept punishing me. I knew I had done something very wrong and I needed to rectify it somehow but I didn't just know what to do. I jumped to my feet as a sweaty Miles barged through my door interrupting my train of thoughts."You're still here, you've been like this since morning, loosen up Dane" Miles said, his lips set in a firm line causing me to shake my head.I wish it was that easy, Miles would never understand how bad my situation was, his major concern was just all about making preparations for the moon ball, giving me details and making sure I was actively involved."You don't understand Miles, I've hurt that girl in unimaginable ways, thinking about it now, she only wan
Chapter thirty two: Fated mate Dane's POVI sighed as I pushed the door to my bedroom open, somehow the scent of Gianna still hovered around and as much as I didn't want to admit it, I missed her around.Angel said Gianna hates me and it was best I kept my distance for now. It was two days until the Moon ball and the past couple of days have been very busy for me. I have been going over everything with Beta Miles about the guest house for the party, the number of guests we were expecting, the variety of delicacies amongst many things but in spite of my busy schedule, Gianna still found a way to creep into my thoughts.I wanted to spend time with her but Angel refused, even though Gianna was asleep most of the time.Angel made it seem as if my presence was a threat to Gianna's safety even when I explained to her.These past few days have been the worst. The rejection phase was almost making me lose my sanity, everything happened so fast and I found it hard to believe it was real and
Gianna's POVI felt a mix of emotions; Guilt, anger, and confusion. I couldn't believe I allowed Eriella to get under my skin, and now I had inadvertently caused tension in the family.“Babe, I'm sorry”“I should be the one apologizing Gianna, I should have told you beforehand, but I didn't know how to”Dane's Godmother, Zachary and Tania were all staring at me with concern in their eyes.“Don't dare to apologize to us Luna, you did nothing wrong, you were only just trying to figure out the truth which is entirely normal, Eriella just has a way of manipulating situations to her advantage, she's been doing it
Gianna's POVTania brought dessert. It was creamy and adorned with cocoa powder and chocolate shavings.On a normal day, I was supposed to start digging in on how delicious it looked, but I suddenly lost my appetite, I wanted to know what Dane was hiding from me.“You don't have to worry Gianna, I assure you she's nobody important, just enjoy your dessert” Tania assured with a soft smile and I looked back at my mate for answers, only to see him clenching his jaw and tapping his foot repeatedly on the ground, making me frown.His attitude was making my curiosity grow. I am supposed to let things slide, but as a woman, my jealousy would not allow me. If my mate has had this intense history with any o
Gianna's POVShe pulled me into a warm hug the moment she got to me, engulfing my petite figure with her lavender scent flooding my nostrils immediately made me snuggle into her warm embrace.“You look lovely mom,” I commented while we pulled away after the long hug.“And you, my dear, you're so beautiful. I hope Dane hasn't been giving you too much trouble?” She said, shooting a look at Dane who rolled his eyes, clearly embarrassed and I chuckled.I loved the way he acted around his family, like he wouldn't want to get in their bad books. I initially thought they would be ill-mannered like he made me believe, but against his initial stance, they were actually sweet.“No mom, Dane is the sweetest husband in the entire universe”“I want to find my mate already, you both make love so sweet” Tania said, eyeing me w
Gianna's POVThe Blackwood family mansion was paradise.It was more exquisite than the way Dane described it, trust him to make everything seem so normal, but trust me this was far from normal.“You never told me we were taking a trip to paradise?” I gushed as my eyes twinkled in amusement as I admired the structure of the house, it had a unique blend of ancient and modern.“Well, if you think this is paradise, wait until you see mine” He mumbled while parking the car and undoing my belt.“Do you mean your house is bigger than this?”I asked as he retrieved the k
Gianna's POV“Do you think they'd like me?” I asked for the umpteenth time since we got into the car. I was nervous as hell, rejection was one of my biggest fears and I sincerely do not know how I would handle being rejected by my mate's family.Surprises were not really my thing and I expected Dane to understand this and at least give me a heads-up on issues, but as usual, he was a dominant and preferred doing things his own way.I was willing to understand him, it was so much work, but I was ready to give it a try.I didn't want things to go wrong, that'd be another disaster combined with the one I was going through right now.Aside from the fact that they were royalty, Dane made me understand that they were extreme perfectionists, so you can understand how much pressure was on me to impress them.Meanwhile, Dane was chuckling at my discom
Gianna POV“You know you're hurting my feelings by ignoring me, Mrs. Blackwood” His hands were going dangerously lower, teasing me and main my breath hitch in my throat.He gently made me turn to him, my mouth remained slightly open at the amount of pleasure coursing through my body and going straight to my core, making heat pull at my center.“I clearly apologized, I don't even know why you're pissed, you ignore me and have the nerves to look this sexy, look at those sweet melons begging me to suck them and your perfectly rounded ass, don't you know my wolf wants to claim you, and I'm dying to have my creamy rod buried inside of you?”He whispered as I breathed heavily, my core twitchi
Gianna's POVMy eyes widened in horror as I processed the news. “No…no…no, this can't be happening” I whispered, my voice trembling, I felt like I was going to be sick, the weight of my guilt was crushing me.“Dane, this is all my fault” I said, my voice cracking. “If only I had…if only I hadn't…”Dane's expression softened and he pulled me close. “ No babe, you can't blame yourself, whatever happened was on the pack members not you, you did nothing wrong, and for the people who died, they should have expected something like this to happen when they crossed the line” he said as he rolled his eyes.“Dane! What are you even saying, they were guests at my coronation, not minding whatsoever they did to me in the past, they have pups who are waiting for their arrival. How would they feel when they hear their parents have been killed?” I asked as I began to feel a pang of guilt.“You're a Luna now baby, and you've to learn to exercise your authority by removing sentiments in your dealings,
Chapter 148Gianna's POVMy head was banging, feeling the aftermath of crying non-stop, my eyes were itching badly, and it seemed like my head would split open any moment from now.Though Dane forced me to eat and take painkillers, the pain wouldn't just go away.Dane was the most generous man I've ever encountered, making sure I felt so warm in his arms and making sure the blanket kept me cozy. His arms and legs were wrapped around me making my movements immobile, not like I was complaining, I enjoyed every bit of it.Dane was an early riser and for once, he didn't prioritize pack duties over me, he made sure he informed his Gamma t
Gianna's POV“Do you mind telling me about this mate and tribrid thing?” He asked and I nodded.I was tired of keeping secrets from a man who has done nothing but love and support me, and the cat was finally out of the bag and there is no need to defend my lies anymore.“Uh, my father is a werewolf and my mother is a hybrid, that's where I got my powers from. Along the line, I was forcefully mated to a vampire in exchange for war. The vampires actually trespassed on our land, they were stronger and more battle inclined, they were killing everyone and at that moment my eyes locked with the leader of the vampire warriors which was a wrong move because he immediately announced to everyone that he would have me in exchange for the war”.
