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
Chapter thirty three: Fate united us Gianna's POVI slept for more than four hours and woke up late in the afternoon. I was feeling terribly hungry and exhausted, my brain was foggy and I found it hard to recognize my surroundings.It felt like I was in a totally different world. I slowly sat up on my bed, everywhere was silent left for the constant ticking of the clock on the wall.I knew I had slept for a long time, the Beta queen had explained the previous day that the sedatives were taking effect in my system.I really don't know what would have become of me if the beta Queen didn't come at that time to save me.I wished I never stopped to rest and helped the Alpha, maybe my life would have made more sense. I never knew helping a handsome man in distress would be the beginning of my problems.But, I never knew how I could be attracted to such a cruel and cold hearted man. He was a monster in human form, his eyes, my God. The first time I stared deep into them they appeared cold
Chapter thirty four: Forgotten Love Gianna's POVThe Beta queen filled my ears with wonderful tales about her mate, Beta Miles.But, I couldn't see him in that light, I still saw him as a devil, he was worse than the devil in fact, it wouldn't come as a surprise if he wanted me dead.The doctor came in an hour later to check my progress and administer injections. The doctor's eyes reminded me faintly of Tristan. He regarded me with care as I showed him my wounds and bandaged arm."You're healing fast miss Gia, but what I am about to do would hurt but I trust it's something you can handle" I nodded, stiffly sitting further until my back rested against the headboard as the doctor prepared his necessary equipment.I watched as he skillfully administered the injections. It hurt a little, the spot a little itchy and in no time it stopped. Then, he progressed to loosen the bandage."The injection would help lessen the pain" He said with a smile and nodded wondering what he was about to do
Chapter thirty five: Moon ball shopping Gianna's POVI couldn't describe the intense anxiety that consumed me immediately we set foot outside the pack.I tried to convince Angel to use one of the numerous cars in the pack house but she made me understand that the servants were fiercely loyal to the Alpha and beta and she wouldn't want to take chances. Of all the things to do, Angel suggests we take a public vehicle.It's damn too hot today.I place my hand above my eyes to shield them from the harsh sunlight that is out in full force today. Everything about Black moon pack is magnificent with tall and huge buildings.I wonder how long it took Dane to build a pack as huge as this since Angel said real change began when Dane was born."I have not used a taxi in years" Angel squealed excitedly from beside me and I rolled my eyes. We stood in silence for a short while Angel continued to speak."What was your duty in your former pack?" Angel asked and I turned to her, the way she asks q
Chapter Thirty six: I do not love you! Tristan's POVI know it has been months since Gianna left. Everyone believed she was dead but I knew my Gianna was still alive, she was just too stubborn and resilient to give up like that.I knew she was definitely somewhere, maybe in one of the rogue's packs or maybe the human pack since her father had connections with humans.Why didn't I think of this all these while?With new hope brewing inside of me, I made a mental note to go and search for her in the human packs, sad thing the moon ball was just twenty four hours away, I would have begun my journey tomorrow.I had hoped that I would find Gianna and I wouldn't rest till I do so.The guilt was eating deep inside of me. Why did I even have sex with my fiance's best friend just four months after she went missing?I couldn't even look at myself in the mirror.This was not me."Mate" I hear my wolf growl inside me and hopes spew within me. My wolf Archer never failed to remind me each passi
Chapter thirty seven: Bad omen Gianna's POV Tonight is the moon ball and for some reason I haven't been able to get my mind off Alpha Dane and not in a bad way, I actually had wet dreams about him last night.What is wrong with me?If anything, I was supposed to hate this man and the ground he walked in and not think about him in any intimate way.This is a man who treated me with so much disrespect and labeled me a thief and killer because I was a rogue but I couldn't deny the butterflies I felt in my stomach when I saw him for the first time.And there was Tristan.In as much as I begged my wolf to forget him she didn't, she was stubborn like that. She had developed an unusual bond with Tristan's wolf, Archer and she wouldn't stop mentioning his name.I scoff as I sit on my bed in my room wondering if I am going crazy, why am I thinking about two men at the same time in the same manner?It's still afternoon and I was so bored even though I had a little free time to do whatever I
Chapter thirty eight: Wicked BetaGianna's POVI can't remember the last time I looked this beautiful.The gown made me look like some sort of Disney princess. The maids really outdid their work on me, you should see me smiling from ear to ear at how beautiful and sophisticated I looked.My gown hugged every part of my body like a second skin accentuating my curves. My hair was also made in French weaves, my gold heels are dazzling and eye catching and my jewelriesFreaking diamonds.Imagine my shock when Angel gifted me an expensive diamond jewelry set. I knelt on the floor in appreciation for her kindness, I really didn't deserve all this, I was just an ordinary rogue.I hum lightly as I look outside the window of the SUV and it drives on whatever road we were on. I was not used to Black moon pack, in fact I've never been here, but I made a mental note to go on a tour after this ball was finally over.We've been on the road for quite a while now.I initially thought the ball woul
Chapter thirty nine: Rogue mateDane's POVMy heart was racing and hitting hard inside my chest as I made my way to my bedroom.I just showered and I was breathing shakily as I narrowed my eyes and racked my brain to figure out what outfit would be better. I had three options from my designer and I found it difficult to choose, Mel always chose all my outfits. "Rogue" My wolf growled again and I sighed. Today didn't seem like a good day but for some reason my wolf was excited, today was one of those days my wolf and I didn't think alike.I could not shake off the feeling and my instincts never failed me but I forced my heart to believe that nothing heartbreaking would happen today.I was sweating while trying to maintain a calm breath which was almost impossible. My heart was racing and my wolf kept disturbing me."Rogue" my wolf growled again and I chuckled giving in, this was the first time in weeks that my wolf was this excited. I couldn't tell what was so exciting about Gianna
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”.
