Lahat ng Kabanata ng Mate to One, Luna for Two : Kabanata 91 - Kabanata 100

Declan’s POV.I drummed my fingers against the smooth surface of my desk, the beat and tunes of my fingers rhyming to an imaginary rhythm only I could hear. If I was being honest, it was quite catchy and would make a great sound if I decided to prolong it, but it was useless. Why? Because it wasn't helping me in the way I thought it would.A distraction. I wanted a distraction and I thought idle shenanigans, no matter how little they were, would take my mind off of an issue that was tearing me apart, but I couldn't be more wrong.Instead, the more the tips of my fingers connected with the tabletop, the more accurately away I became of my frustration.Dammit!She was still not talking to me. It's been days and she still hadn't deemed it fit yet to say a word to me, not even a single hi. How could anyone go for so long without speaking to someone else? The human mouth and lips were made for speaking and producing words, so how could she go on for days without making a single sound?But

Vanessa's POVI hid behind the curtain as the fear of getting caught by my scent crossed my mind. I covered my mouth to ensure that I was making noise when the door cracked open. It was Declan accompanied by a few elders.He looked a little grumpy, and I could tell that whatever they were talking about was not sitting well with him."You have been repeating the same word for over five minutes. Ain't you exhausted? Just get things over with and be on your way. I have other things to do." Declan said angrily. Even though I can't see his face clearly from where I am standing, I can tell how offended he was by their conversation."Are you even listening to yourself? What important thing do you have other than going back to that woman?""So the rumors about Vanessa were true. When I first heard that she had returned to the pack and that she had been parading around as if she belonged here even though she was only a relegated Luna, I thought it was a joke started by some jobless people, but

Vanessa's POVI left Declan's office feeling ashamed of myself and I literally ran into my room just so that no one would see me coming out of his office. My cheeks were red from both anger and excitement and I didn't even know what to do.What the hell is wrong with you, Vanessa? Why the hell did I kiss him back? I could have pushed him away, I could have resisted. When I tried to break out of his grip, if I insisted, he would have allowed me to leave. Why didn't I try to fight? Why did I give in so easily? Gosh! This is pissing me off.I hated myself for kissing him back more than anything. I spent years trying to forget how I felt for him… trying so damn hard to heal from the wounds and the moment he tried to kiss me, I gave in."You did great, there was no point fighting back, not when you enjoyed every bit of it," my wolf said. The way he raised my chin, wiped away my tears and kissed me softly is still surprising. Who could have known that Declan possessed that calmness in him?

Vanessa's POVI have been trying so damn hard to avoid Declan since the kiss because I knew what was coming after. A series of degrading words if not worse. I know for sure that he won't let me off the hook so easily and he would slut shame me at any given opportunity. What the hell on earth have I gotten myself into?I was too embarrassed and confused to look into his eyes or talk to him. Over the past few days when our paths crossed, I would mutter sorry and run off like he was some kind of infection, and I avoided him like a plague.It is starting to look even more ridiculous so I thought I should just stay in my room, instead of making a fool out of myself. I know that sooner or later, I will have to talk about the kiss, but I hope it is later because I am not ready to talk about it just yet.I spent the entire day trapped in my room and I only remembered Dame later in the evening. I went into his room and he was nowhere to be found. Where could he be? I looked everywhere for him

Vanessa's POVI watched Tristan in what might have seemed like a mixture of shock and uncertainty at his sudden appearance and the request for me to come back home. My mouth ran dry and I swallowed an amount of saliva that should be considered nothing but unhealthy as I waited for him to say something again, anything to remind the both of us—especially him, if he has forgotten—that he asked me to leave the house because of another woman while painfully reminding me of my place in his life. Also, hadn't he been the one who told me that I couldn’t come back until whatever he had going on was sorted? I continued to stare at him in nothing but utter confusion and wondered if he was talking about a different thing or I was the one who was most definitely seeing things and Tristan wasn’t here right now. Tristan brushed his fingers through his hair as if fighting something deep inside of him while also trying to remain calm as he talked to me. "The truth is,” he began and paused for a beat
