BLOOM’S POV“That applies to you, Bloom. No matter how you dress up, you’re still disgusting.” There it was. This was that premonition that something would go wrong today.I could easily have ignored Cecily, but she wasn’t alone. Her company of two other girls snickered at her words like it was the funniest thing they had ever heard. Now, I couldn’t just let it go. Sighing, I stared her up from her feet to the top of her head. “What’s that for?” Cecily asked with a displeased look. She obviously hadn’t gotten the memo yesterday that I wasn’t the same cowardly Bloom. “Cecily, poor, poor Cecily,” I said loud enough for only her to hear, and her face blank. “What’s with that tone? Do you think because—”“No, Cecily.” I put up a hand to silence her, and she spluttered in shock. First, I would take care of her friends, then I would face Cecily. “You’re her new friends, aren’t you?” Their silence was enough. “You’re probably from this Pack, right, and not the other one where Cecily came f

Bloom's pov After dinner, we went straight home and I blushed hard at how Tina winked at me. Maybe it was the smile etched on my face because she could tell I was happy and that seemed enough for her. I would give her the details of what happened later, but now I just had to get into bed.I headed for my room first, washed up, and changed into one of the ridiculous nightgowns Steph had gotten for me. It was so big that they could make two of my former nightgowns from it. It looked like a granny's gown. Although it was light blue in color and smelled like vanilla. Perhaps, this was a reminder of how big my belly was. I was trying to stifle a yawn as I walked into Grey's room, the lights had been turned down and I had to squint to find my way to the bed. "Why is it so dark in here?" I called out, but I didn't get any response.I got under the duvet and closed my eyes, eager to just fall asleep when I felt him blow into my ear. "Grey, stop it..." He chuckled and I turned to face hi

GREYI leaned over to kiss Bloom. She returned it and I pulled back to see the smile on her face. Her curls were wet and stuck to her forehead but it just made her look more pretty. Did I plan on making love to Bloom? No, it just kind of happened and I was glad it did. Sure she would push me away, I almost crossed my fingers and prayed to whoever was listening, but again she blew my mind, just like she had done before now. A few minutes later, after emptying my ball of months of celibacy, I sighed when I looked at her to see her falling asleep so cutely. She must have been tired from the date and our intimacy must have worn her out even more. I felt bad about that.“You are such an animal.” My wolf had come out again. I rolled my eyes, thinking, tell me something I don’t know. “You weren’t satisfied with one time, so you pushed her for the second time. You wore her out.” I sighed. “I’ll apologize when she wakes up,” I whispered. If I could hit myself I really would. Letting out a si

BLOOMWhen I opened my eyes in the morning, compared to other days, I had the feeling something was wrong. I immediately realized why: Grey wasn’t in bed. A swift run of my fingers along the part he slept in, and I found it cool which meant he had been gone for a while. Stifling a yawn, I sat up in bed. Last night, after our intimacy, I was so tired that I fell asleep right away. As I chewed on the insides of my mouth, I couldn’t help but feel a sinking feeling that something happened during the night. I pushed it out of my mind temporarily and made my way to the bathroom where as I passed by the mirror, my messy reflection stared back at me. I needed a scrub. In the bathtub, I scrubbed my hair before the rest of my body, then got out of the tub, and wrapped a small blue towel around my head. A few minutes after coming out of the bathroom, I left Grey’s room and headed downstairs in an orange sleeveless gown. I needed to find Grey.Tina was seated at the dining table and when she s

BLOOM“Why are you here?” It was a harmless question, but the tone of annoyance in Grey’s voice made me freeze. “I came to see if you were feeling better. You seemed mad in the morning.” I inched a few steps closer to him. His face had been peaceful when I entered the garden, but when he noticed me, his foul mood came back. Maybe I could make him feel better, I mean who else if not his mate? There was an ache in my heart, but I ignored it and focused on Grey instead. “I’m fine.” Grey waved his hand dismissively and turned away from me. “It’s fine, nothing you need to bother yourself with.” Nodding, I hesitantly sat beside him and raised a hand to his face, but he flinched. What was that? Hurt, I retreated my hand to my side. Why did he react like a cat that had gone through trauma? When I touched his lap, he tensed beneath my touch. That should have been enough to push me away, but I didn’t want to give up. “What’s wrong Grey?” I wished he would look into my eyes. Silence follo

BLOOMYou’re delusional. Pushing off the covers, I sat up. Had it been a dream? No, that had really happened. I’m not sure how I slept off in between the noise Grey was making and the tears, but when I woke up, it was almost dark. Weird. I woke up later than usual today and then slept twice during the day. It was weird. A quick glance at my phone showed the time as a little after six p.m.Usually, by this time, I would hang out with Grey in the study room, and then we’d have dinner together. After that, we’d go for a walk in the garden, Tina’s tip for easy digestion. Then we’d call it a night and cuddle each other to sleep. But that wasn’t going to happen anymore.Apart from the bread and soup I had by noon, I hadn’t eaten anything else. Right on cue, my stomach grumbled. I put my hand to my belly as my eyes watered. My child. Grey threatened to take her away, but was I going to allow that? What could I possibly do? My stomach whined again, and I stood and went to the door. Then stop

BLOOMRay stationed me at the punching bag for three days. When I asked him the reason on the second day, he said it was because he knew I still had pent-up anger that I needed to let out. “Blow off some steam,” was what he said, but doing the same thing repeatedly for three days in a row was enough to drive me crazy. I wanted something else. Something… fun. Where was he even? Looking around the gym, I didn’t see Ray. I collapsed to the floor with a groan. “Luna Bloom?” I looked up to see Ray coming in with a silly grin and shining eyes. Was my pain amusing to him? “How’s that workout coming along? Did you stretch before you began?” “Hmm. You call that workout?” I painstakingly pushed myself off the ground. My hands were sore and so was my heart. “All I’ve been doing is punishing that sandbag.” Ray’s eyes sparkled with laughter. “Looks like someone’s still mad, so why don’t you channel that anger at the sandbag?” "What? And punish the poor sandbag for Grey’s sin?” “You had no pr

GREY“I heard rogues have been going around invading Packs, so I think we should strengthen our security strategy for the safety of our Pack,” Ray reported when he got to my office. A hand on my jaw, I stroked it as I took in what he said. “Thbyss Pack, Blood Moon Pack, Blade’s Shaft Pack, and Crimson Pack, have all been invaded, and from the report I got, the damage was severe.” “Alright. Is that all?”My Beta shook his head. In his hand was a file which he placed on my table. “Here. This is a list of the Packs that want to form an alliance with us, including Orion Pack.” At the mention of Orion PAck, I growled. They had the audacity to ask for my help after what they did in the past. My face squeezed in distaste, I asked, “What does the Orion Pack want with us again?” I couldn’t ever forget that fateful day. The day I was stabbed and nearly died because I refused to marry the Alpha’s daughter. The day my two best friends and former Beta betrayed me. Those were thoughts I had trie
