Chapter forty: Moon ball Gianna's POVThere were so many people here.We used to host parties in my pack but I've never seen a crowd like this in my entire life. I suddenly felt self conscious as I felt eyes on me but Angel held my hands reassuringly and with practiced steps we were led to the table.Well, yeah you guessed right, the special dignitaries table and yes, I would have to sit close to the Alpha.Things didn't feel right after what just transpired outside. I do not think I am ready for another round of embarrassment but if he tries to get on my nerves again, I would not hesitate to give him a piece of my mind.Oh, I have forgotten I lost my voice. How great?As we approached the table, I see the beta come up onto the stage and he is handed a microphone. A deep scowl is etched on his face, he looks round the crowd and his eyes land one making me move uncomfortably on my seat.Can this man just mind his fucking business already?The beta speaks out to the crowd, his deep
Chapter Forty one: Eighteenth birthday Gianna's POV My only prayer is that I do not find someone from the Nightshade Pack who recognizes me. It would definitely be disastrous, I am not even ready to take that route right now. Angel kept on telling me jokes and it made me feel lightheaded after what went down with the Beta, her husband.I had seriously forgotten about it, I just wanted to sit and enjoy the much talked about moon ball. Then, I suddenly remember something as I checked my digital wristwatch which not only displayed the time but also the dateAugust 16, 2021 - 10:05:55 pmNo freaking way!It's my birthday and I had totally forgotten. I had so many plans for this day, I mean Tristan had plans, he wanted to make it special because my birthday always fell on a special day in the werewolf world every other year.My mood dampened immediately. I felt a pang of hurt at how horrid my life had turned out these couple of months. This is not how I planned to celebrate my eightee
Chapter Forty two: You're in heat! Gianna's POV"Tonight is the red moon festival, a time when our pack comes together to celebrate the power of the mate bond. This is a sacred tradition that goes back to the beginning of our pack's history, and it is a reminder of the importance of love and family. As the red moon rises, we think of our ancestors, who first discovered the power of the mate bond, and we honor their legacy. We remember that we are connected not just by blood, but by something deeper and more meaningful. We are a family, united by love and loyalty"Yes, the Alpha was reading his speech and instead of listening. I was busy looking at his lips and he on the other hand was looking directly at me, his eyes looking like they could pierce into my soul, making me extremely uncomfortable.What is this man doing to me?"As the red moon sets, we carry this connection with us into the future. May it guide us through all that we face, and may it keep us strong and united as one.
Chapter forty three: The first KissDane's POVI know my presence repulsed her and she must probably think the only thing I bring her is pain but truly I do not mean most of the things I say or do to her.Seeing her in pain was doing bad things to my body and my territorial instincts had gone over the roof since I could smell her heat all around her messing with my senses every time.I wanted to be by her side at all times.Imagine my shock when the pack doctor said she needed blood transfusion and I was the only one compatible with her. I had never seen anything like this before but I couldn't deny the fact that it felt good.My only wish is that she succumbs to her heat and agrees to be my Luna. At least I know there is a fifty percent chance for me, the sexual tension between us couldn't be denied but I am obviously still concerned that she might not.I hear a knock on the door in Gianna's room, she is fast asleep, the effects of the medications were working on her already."Yes
Chapter forty four: A taste wouldn't hurt Gianna's POVI backed out immediately. Angel walked into the room, I shouldn't have stopped because my pain doubled after, I clutched my stomach as an intense nausea hit me, everything felt really strange. The Alpha left and I have been here ever since fighting with my wolf who insisted on me bonding with Dane's wolf by all means, she was damn too stubborn. Fuck.Angel suggested I take a warm bath and that's exactly what I did. I ripped my clothes in a hurry sinking into the warm tub, the warm water made my body itch and I stayed in the tub after what felt like hours.My heat was getting worse by the second, my skin was getting hotter by the second and my wolf was punishing me making everything unbearable for me.I leaped out of the tub, my feet wobbled as I struggled to find my balance. I pulled on the clothes Angel laid for me, it was just a normal gown but it made my skin itch.I pushed the bathroom door open and Angel's eyes widened li
Chapter forty five: The mate bond Gianna's POVAlpha Dane came out shirtless, his hair wet and messy and his pants hanging loosely on his waist leaving nothing to the imagination.This man obviously wants to seduce me, he knows exactly what he is doing."You okay?" Dane asks as he joins me on the couch and I nod, I twirl my bracelet on my wrist. It is a gift from my father, I hear his warning in my ears but quickly shake it off.My mind is enveloped with different thoughts mainly because of Angel's words.Did I want the Alpha to die just like that?Definitely not, I know I hated him but not enough to wish him death."How do you really feel Gia... And for the records you do not have to stress yourself trying to communicate. Well, it's funny but I can see all your emotions from your eyes and I think that's enough. Your eyes are beautiful Gianna..." He says after a while and I feel my skin flush. This man was torturing me, I only needed him to go straight to the point so this thing co
Chapter forty six: My kitten Dane's POVMy mate looks at me with pain in her eyes, obviously confused at my reaction and I scold myself for my behavior.What is wrong with me?But Mel…"This isn't good Dane focus, this is your mate, not Mel, she saved you when the rogue tried to kill you, remember?" My wolf said in my head and that was everything I needed. I turned back to my mate who looked confused as hell, probably wondering why I stopped.I needed to wipe that doubt off her mind. I pulled her to me again, wrapping my arms around her naked body, feeling every contact between us.She grabs my shirt, an indication that she wanted me to take it off but I wanted to hear it, I wanted to hear her moan."Fuck kitten, I wanna fuck you so hard and pound into you carelessly but I want you to want this, you must know that when you're on heat, your needs are insatiable, I do not mind at all, I live for this, I live to please you but I want you to know that once I start, we're not stopping. I
Chapter 47: Unexplainable pleasure Gianna's POVI dug my nails into his shoulders as I thrust my hips forward. I just wanted this man but he chuckles against my skin."You're such an impatient kitten" He leans back into the bed pulling me down with him, my hair is all over the place, my knees on both sides of his hips and hands on either side of his head.I notice he's breathing heavily and searching my eyes for any uncertainty.When he was sure I was just as ready as he was, he rolls over such that he is hovering over me.A low possessive growl comes from him as his eyes rake my features, in his eyes I look like the prettiest girl in the world.His hands roam my hips, patting my pussy lips sensually, when I gasp at his touch he withdraws his fingers as if it was never there.This man was damn too intentional in his actions and I was enjoying every bit of it."You know kitten, I can do a lot of things to you, but I really want to fuck every inch of you till your body recognizes my ow
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”.
