Gianna's POVA week had passed since I had heard from Dane. I felt hurt, depressed even. He just spewed hurtful words, not caring about my feelings and made everything seem like it was my fault.Working with Dayna helped me deviate my mind temporarily from my problems but when I was within the confines of my wolf, I became so exhausted with the constant whining of my wolf and my indecisiveness made it hard to block the thoughts. I wonder how Dane must be feeling.I missed him and I knew I hurt him by bringing my past to our present, my past that I should have tossed away. Tristan hurt me and I wonder why it was so hard for me to forget about him.Sleep had practically eluded me, I was currently laying in my bed counting the ceilings that lay above me. It was two am in the morning and I couldn't sleep, not after having Dane in the same room as me while I slept with his arms wrapped around me, it was so hard to be alone.I huffed and sat up on my bed rubbing my bloodshot eyes. I grabb
Dane's POVConcentration seemed like an impossible task at this time because I had been on the same document for close to two hours and it didn't make any sense to me.My head was blank and I just kept drifting at every point in time. It was late and my eyes were beginning to close but I continued flipping through the papers mindlessly in hopes that a miracle could just happen and an idea would pop into my head.I had sent a letter to the Alpha of Nightshade pack and he was yet to give a response. We had been doing this for a while now, he had always been rejecting the meetings, maybe he already knew my intentions and if he delayed this further I would not hesitate to use force on him.Maybe, by the time I capture all his pack members as slaves he would realize I meant business and he would give me what I want without thinking twice Right now, the issue of my debt was the last thing on my mind. I couldn't just stop thinking about my mate, I expected her to apologize to me. For the
Dane's POVMy breath began to hitch as memories flooded my brain in the different ways I had caused her pain. "You don't have to apologize." my voice came off as annoyed. Not like I intended but I felt embarrassed for putting her in so much pain in such a short period of time."I should be the one apologizing Gianna. Because of me, you lost your voice and I made you start questioning your feelings because I was too much of a coward to share my problems with you. I didn't want you to see me as a weakling." I said softly, taking slow steps towards her.Gianna made me feel like a madman. I had been away from her for a few days and it felt like eternity. I yearned for her touch like oxygen."You're not a weakling Dane. You must understand that vulnerability is not a sin. I understand that you must be feeling some type of way but hiding and shutting everyone out because of a problem, most especially me. I am a part of you Dane, treat me as one." she said as she caressed my arm and goosebu
Gianna's POVMy mind was in a state of chaos as Dane's words replayed in my ears. At the same time, I thought of the possibility of him taking my pack members hostage.It was so bad because I couldn't reveal my true identity and I couldn't just sit and watch Dane destroy all the years of my hardwork and that of my parents.I still had plans to return back to my pack, defend my innocence and expose all those who had conspired against me and killed my parents and I can't do all that without Dane. I needed to have my stance with me as a Luna of a pack such as this. I get to have an added advantage when I return back to my pack. My pack members would not see me as a rogue who was banished but as a Luna who had come to take back her right as Alpha.But there was a problem, convincing Dane was going to be a lot of work because it seemed his mind was already made up."Are you Okay Gia?" His deep voice brought me out of my trance and I nodded."Yes... I just zoned out for a bit, I was just t
Gianna's POVDane had just given me a mild warning to tell him the truth when I was ready to. He was beginning to get curious which was normal because I always avoided conversations that had to do with my pack. I don't really know if I was ready to tell him the truth about my entire existence. It was too much work, to be honest and I don't want him to see me differently.Dane and I sat just there, soft covers draped around my body and him on the wooden chair beside my bed as we watched a horror movie.There was no awkwardness around us anymore, in fact, the silence felt peaceful and I even yearned for his arms to be around me to make me forget the horrible experience of tonight but I knew he was just respecting his boundaries.He said he would tell me everything, all the things he had been hiding from me these past few weeks but I didn't know what to say to him to make him start talking. My mind kept coming up with words to initiate the conversation but I didn't want to ruin the mom
Gianna's POVDane was unpredictable and I really hoped he took my words into consideration. At this point he was difficult to read and I couldn't tell if he accepted my opinions or he was still contemplating them.We stayed in silence for a while before I laid my head on his broad shoulders. His scent was intoxicating, making me nuzzle deeply into his warm embrace as he chuckled.His warm hands gently caressed my waist drawing circles on my skin. Being with Dane felt like home, like this was my permanent place; where I was destined to be.All the pain and anger I felt initially evaporated into thin air as my wolf whimpered in pleasure inside of me."Baby, you've got to rest now." He whispered slowly in my ears, making goosebumps appear on my skin. Instead of responding, I climbed on top of him, wrapping my legs tightly around his waist."Please don't leave me." I said through the mindlink and he chuckled as he lay me down on the bed removing my arms from his chest and making me groan
Dane's POVThe meeting with the elders council ended on a good note for the first time in forever, they all accepted my ideas without questions. After my meeting, I had a general pack meeting, though it was a bit hard to convince the pack members that everything was for their own advantage, it finally paid off because I was the Alpha afterall.On our way back to the pack house, I noticed Miles' demeanor. He was quiet for most of the meeting and barely contributed. I knew something was wrong but didn't know what it was."Are you okay Miles, you seem distant and withdrawn?" "Of course I am not okay Alpha." The words had barely left my mouth before he attacked. "I felt so stupid listening to you during the meetings and I couldn't help but wonder how you came up with such ideas in such a short period of time." He added. "Well, it's all my Luna's doing, she gave me the advice and from what I am seeing, it's already paying off. It's been just a few hours and we are making progress." I sa
Dane's POVI huffed angrily as I deleted Miles' apology message after giving him strict warnings to leave his messages with my guards.Pissed was an understatement to how I felt because I was trying to understand why he would feel that level of hatred towards her when she didn't even offend him in any way.Opening the door to my room slowly, in hopes of surprising my mate. A bright smile made its way to my lips when I saw her sprawled on the bed, hair scattered in all directions, her mouth slightly open as she snored peacefully. As much as I would want to kiss her badly right now, I didn't want to wake her up. She must have had a really stressful day working with Dayna."I love you." I mumbled as I pressed a kiss to her forehead. She smiled as I placed the covers over her and placed pillows underneath her head for comfort. She gently opened her eyes to look at me, and they focused on the gift bag on the vanity table."What's that?" I heard her voice in my head, pointing at the bag as
