CHAPTER 65Miles POV"ENOUGH!"I yelled, my veins protruding out of my neck. She veered back in shock as she covered her mouth with her open palm, sobbing gently."Enough of this nonsense Angel. Enough of the unnecessary hatred you've for Shanna, I won't tolerate it. You're supposed to be the mature one here yet you've been blabbing like a child!""But... ""No buts." I cut her off abruptly. "If you cannot respect my sister then I do not see how you can tolerate each other. Remember my sister has always been in my life before you showed up, my sister would always be a part of our lives.""What?" She screamed in surprise. I blocked my ears as her screams rang in my ears giving me a headache."Yes Angel, in simple words, if you want this marriage to work then you should learn to manage Shanna's attitude. She might act out sometimes but whatever she does is for a reason. If she's interested in Dane, I would give her a hundred per cent support and I expect you to do the same too. It's l
Chapter 66Miles POV"STOP, NOW!"I heard Alpha Dane's angry voice and I slowly released him from my choke hold and pushed him off angrily.He was hitting his chest hard as he took in deep fits of breath as he tried to regain composure but I honestly wanted to end his life right there for being so stupid.How dare he think my mate was among those attacked by the rogues, didn't he realize he was heightening my fears?Dane apologized to the officials and instructed the omegas to serve them a good meal and prepare rooms for them.He pulled me aside, no doubt to scold me."What came over you Miles, why are you acting so irrational and stupid?" He asked the moment we were in the confines of his office and I tugged at my hair, hurting my scalp in the process, unable to say anything reasonable."I am talking to you, Miles!" He said angrily as he banged his fist on the table and I raised my head up to search his eyes, he was boiling with fury.I know I had embarrassed him out there by letting
Chapter 67Beta Miles POVAfter my episode with Shanna, I quickly went to my room, grabbed my car keys jumped into my car and sped off. I didn't even know where I was headed but I was hopeful that I'd find her somehow.My mate's disappearance was making my stomach churn and my insides boil. There was no lead whatsoever, making the whole thing frustrating but I was willing to climb mountains and do unimaginable things to find my mate.I would rather die than let anything happen to Angel.My phone vibrated in my pocket and my heart thumped erratically in my chest. I quickly retrieved my phone, my eyes still focused on the road.It was Angel! She just sent me a message, my eyes skimmed through the content and my breath hitched in my throat.Don't bother searching for me Miles, you would never find meStopping my car in the middle of the road was a bad move but a good thing the road was lonely and there was no approaching vehicle, no doubt I would have suffered an accident with the way I
CHAPTER 68Rogue's packMelissa's POV"OSBERT STOP!" I yelled and cried all to no avail but Osbert wouldn't stop dragging me down the marbled floor. This was his newly found obsession. He would drag me down the hallway whenever I did anything wrong which was not naturally wrong in context but an abomination to Osbert.My skin was full of bruises, both fresh and old. In just a few months of living with Osbert, I had become a shadow of myself, a walking corpse, and worse still I had another man's child growing inside of me, I couldn't help but wonder how he would react when he found out.This was a man who professed his love for me daily and would move mountains and valleys just to see me happy. I do not know what changed and why he developed sudden hatred for me all because I told him about my interest in having pups.What kind of man is this?"Osbert please stop, my body hurts, I am still nursing injuries from the last beating you gave me please don't do this please!""Well, just so
CHAPTER 69Melissa's POV"Strip!"I heard Osbert's stern voice behind me and I turned in surprise. This must be some sort of silly joke, Osbert would never want me to strip in front of all these people present. I mean, almost all rogues were present if not all."Osbert?" I said with brows raised, he cocked his head to the side scrutinizing me for a while before talking."You heard me Melissa, remove your clothes, do not waste my time or think of doing anything stupid!" He warned, and I gasped in shock. I didn't know when tears started streaming from my eyes.What sort of embarrassment is this? Just yesterday, it was so bad that I had to be revived with a bucket of water after he punched me in the stomach. What kind of life have I subjected myself to?"Osbert stop doing this, there are so many people here, how do you expect me to strip in front of these people? My body only belongs to you" I said in hushed whispers as I looked at the face of the people. We were currently in the packed
Melissa's POVOsbert stood there with his eyes, a blazing red showing that his wolf had taken over. His lips were pressed in a thin line and his fists were clenched tightly by his side."What is going on here!" He asked as he advanced towards us, he was not looking at me but glaring angrily at the guards who quickly jumped off me and tried to hide his member from his leader's scrutinizing gaze.He was shivering so badly and if he hadn't hurt me, I would have felt sorry for him but he deserved everything he was going to get and even more."Am I talking to deaf and dumb men? I just asked a fucking question and I want an answer right now!" He asked still glaring, the other guard moved to untie the chains from my wrist since the other made no move to react.I winced in pain as I saw bits of my flesh fall off as a result of the hotness on my skin."What did you do to her?" Osbert growled grabbing the collar of the guard who still had his shirt on, pulling him such that he was hanging in th
Gianna's POVEverything in the pack was at a standstill as a result of the Beta queen's disappearance. I couldn't believe my best friend would just leave like that without even informing me.It's been eight days and still no positive report on her whereabouts. There has been a strain between me and the Alpha recently though I understood but I couldn't help but feel lonely at times because I had gotten so used to his company even though I hadn't come to terms with my feelings for him.Alpha Dane was under a lot of pressure. It was hard keeping things together from different angles, being an Alpha of a powerful pack such as this and being a friend.The Beta was in a really bad state mentally and he was always having constant fights with his sister who moved out of the house during the week when the Beta threatened to bathe her in a pool of her blood.Somehow, I felt relieved that she finally moved out of the pack house because she always looked for every opportunity to make life difficu
Gianna's POVI listened carefully to Dane speak with tears brimming in his eyes and I wished I had my voice so I could give those elders a piece of my mind because they deserved it.They had been stressing Dane in every ramifications as a result of his decisions for the pack, which in my opinion is none of their business, I just wanted them to leave him alone to do his thing peacefully."I killed my parents..." He dropped the bombshell and swallowed it, goosebumps appeared on my skin at the revelation. I had heard this before but there was something about hearing it first-hand from the horses mouth, I really couldn't imagine how he must be feeling having to deal with all the pain and stigma associated with his life story."You didn't...at least I know no sane child would willingly kill their parents, that's absurd Dane, stop apportioning blames on yourself like that" I said, he looked at me keenly for a moment, swallowed hard, stood up and began pacing, he stood and started looking ou
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”.
