"Don’t you ever get tired of destroying our lives, of meddling in everything? You’re ridiculous," I spit out, unleashing everything I feel in my chest. "You and Joshua deserve each other, deserve the mediocre life you have and all the crap you go through and will continue to go through." I stare at her. "That's why you could never be an Alpha Queen. You’re unfit. You’re cruel, you’re bitter... I hate you. Don’t ever cross my path again, understood?” “Jaden,” Joshua begins. “You can’t talk to her like that. Besides being Luna, she’s pregnant.” "Screw you, her, and your bastard, Joshua," I shout at the top of my lungs, even though I know I'm making a scene for everyone present. "She’s a murderer, a damn murderer! Can’t you do anything right? You can’t even get a concubine?” “I’m not a concubine…” she says, offended. "That's the only thing that offends you? Pathetic!" I roll my eyes. “I never want to see you again. I don’t want to know about either of you in my life. Forget about
MaliaI can’t remember where I am, but the cold wind hitting my face scares me. I take a deep breath, jolting up, only to find myself in a huge garden full of flowers.The sun is high in the sky, but the cold wind still makes me shiver a little and hug myself. Where am I?I frown and stand up, looking around. “Hello?” I call, but get no response.“Hello, Malia,” I hear the voice echoing, and I turn abruptly, searching for the owner. But nothing happens.“Who are you?” I ask, frowning.“It’s me, Malia,” the voice says behind me, and I turn, only to find a woman standing there.She is beautiful. Thin face, full lips, small nose, and slightly slanted eyes. Her skin is pale, her eyes dark, and her black hair provides a striking contrast.She wears a white dress that fits perfectly to her curves. Her hair falls over her like a tunic. The thin strap, seeming to be made of gemstones, extends along her arm, creating a braid. She is beautiful, I can’t stop repeating.“Thank you,” she smiles.“
#### JadenI was feeling like trash. I wasn't eating properly, wasn't bathing, and spent my time locked in the room next to Malia, waiting for her to wake up.Keeping her sedated was the best option. Mark was as desperate as I was since he couldn't sense Fawn's presence anymore.This indicated that losing the pup had broken her. Mark was disappointed with himself, and I felt empty."I can't believe I wasn't good enough for her to trust me," he growls inside my head."Mark, it wasn't your fault! It's not our choice," he licks his lips. "I mean, she needs time, let's just give her that..." I squeeze Malia's hands between my fingers. "I also want our mate to wake up and look at us, but... we have to deal with this!" I take a deep breath, filling my lungs.Two knocks on the door interrupt us. I mutter a brief "come in," feeling completely upset, and see Damon enter."We've got everything. We're leaving by plane," he says. "We'll leave and arrive so quickly, we won't even notice.""I don't
It was a quick trip from that pack back home. The Red Rock pack had an indescribable beauty, but I never wanted to encounter it again, ever.I was so angry. I felt awful for agreeing to go, even though it had been very useful for us.We had been back for a week, and as the previous doctors said, the numbness of her wolf could hinder her healing. So, we had done a battery of new tests to decide if she would wake up or not.I was broken inside. My shell had cracked and was about to explode. I cried at least once a night, in our bed — which still carried her scent — alone and thinking about what I did to deserve so much suffering.I thought about ending it all, but then I thought of Malia and the pack. They needed me!“Jaden,” Damon called me as I walked down the enormous hallway.“Yes?” I turned to face him.“Man, something is happening,” He sighed.“What is it?” I asked, furrowing my brow.“Come with me,” he said.We headed towards my office, and when I entered, he closed the door behi
When I burst into that hospital room, Malia was having her blood drawn. Her eyes lit up with recognition and sadness when she saw me."Love," I say, drawn out and holding her hands, leaning slightly over her. "I'm sorry, I should have gone with you. I should have taken care of you, please forgive me!""No, Jaden!" She runs her fingers through my hair. "There's no one to blame in this story except that woman," she sighs, her eyes welling up with tears."I wish I had been here when you found out," I say bitterly. "I asked Paul... he...""It wasn't him who told me," she swallows hard. "Can we be alone?""Of course," I nod my head."Are these walls soundproof?" Malia asks, looking around."No," I frown.She nods and looks at Paul, who is still tending to her. "When can I leave?""Well, I think if you're going back to Luna's room, you're already doing well enough," he smiles weakly at her. "I'm sorry this happened, Malia.""I'm sorry too, doctor," she says in a whisper."Well, here are som
Malia"I received a visit from the moon goddess, Jaden," I look at him deeply, wanting him to see the absolute truth in my eyes. "And she told me some things... that made me very... suspicious of everyone." I hold his fingers against my chest. "You believe me, don't you?""Of course I believe you," he says, holding my face. "All of this only confirmed what I was already suspecting." He sighs."What do you mean?" I ask, furrowing my brow."I didn't want to worry you," he squeezes my fingers against his palm and sighs. "But my main reason for going there was that during that one week I was missing, I was attacked and almost killed by a group of rogues. They knew exactly where I was and what I was going to do in that pack. Damon and I managed to get away from them, but we knew something was wrong. How could they know exactly where to go?" I sigh, closing my eyes. I almost lost my mate and didn't even know it. "It turns out that my parents arranged it. Apparently, they paid those rogues t
An entire month had passed since my last conversation with Jaden about the traitors. Deep down, he just wanted me to recover soon and so did I.Fawn was still absent, but I knew she was hiding somewhere, just waiting for the moment when she would be completely healed to face the situation head on.I also tried not to care as I paced back and forth in my dress meticulously chosen by me. I think it was the only thing Catherine didn't have an opinion on.Lately, we are not as close anymore and Jaden acts like it's no big deal. I mean, deep down, I know it's not a big deal, but I also wanted my will to prevail — and that didn't please the older one.She always organized all the events for that pack. She was always the center of attention and now that I had arrived, I understand why she is apprehensive.Deep down, I know exactly how she feels!I just don't want an important moment for me to be taken as a mere event. I'm going to become Luna of this pack and officially, a member. I really n
Of course, I was filled with joy knowing that my family had decided - on their own - to attend my ceremony. They seemed so happy for me, even though I still felt upset and rejected by my father.I mean, I don't know if, despite the years of harsh insults from him - and I have to admit this - I can still see a different sparkle in his eyes when he looks at me. It's not gratitude or love, like my siblings have for me, it's something I can't quite identify."You look beautiful," Mom says, running her hand down the side of my dress. She cups my face and makes me look at her. "You are strong, Malia. Go in there and do better than I ever could have done.""My girl," Peter says, pulling me into a hug. "I never imagined you would be with Jaden. With Jaden.""Is it really that hard to believe?" I laugh softly, looking at him."He was my friend, dear," he holds my fingers. "We weren't the best, but we were close. He always pointed out how cool he thought it was to treat you so well...""Well,"
