CHAPTER EIGHTEEN.NOLAN'S POVAs I ascend the staircase leading to Kai's bedroom, I keep wondering if what Nigel said back there was true.When I spoke with Mia, she told me Catania was the one who forced her to accompany her to Kai's bedroom, but when I spoke with Catania, she said the opposite and now it happens that Kai said he saw Mia forcefully pushing Catania into his bedroom. If that's the case, then it means that it's Mia who forced Catania to go to Kai's chambers. If that is the truth, then I don't know what I'm going to do, because I love Mia so much and having her lie to me about something so trivial is going to disappoint me a lot.When I think of it critically, I'm tempted to believe Catania, because she knows how much her pheromone affects someone like Kai and she is not foolish enough to go to meet him when she knows he is capable of harming her.But then, why will Mia lie and most importantly, if she truly lied, what will make her want Catania to meet with Kai against
CHAPTER TWENTY-FOURWhy would she lie to me?She has absolutely no reason to lie to me. I love her and she knows it. I always take her side when there is a misunderstanding. Why then did she have to lie to me?"Sweet moon goddess!" I mumble a frustrated exclamation when I arrive at my room door. Mia is in there and I don't know if I should address this issue when I get in there or if I should just let it be. It's true that I'm disappointed at the fact that she lied to me, but it won't hurt to hear what she has to say about the matter.I stretch my hand forward and creak the room door open. I quietly peek into the bedroom and when I spot Mia lying on the bed, probably asleep, my heart misses a bit. I can perceive the sweet aroma of her pheromone, but I swear it is nothing compared to what I perceive when I am around Catania. Mia's pheromone smells almost faint, like it isn't even there, but the pheromone Catania emits is capable of putting my mind in chaos and making me want to kiss
CHAPTER TWENTYI am marching over to the dungeon with a different kind of rage boiling in my heart. Whenever I close my eyes, I can only imagine the scenario where Catania pushed Mia over to Kai so he could have her killed.She is evil and no one can tell me otherwise.I have tried my best to refrain from giving her any sort of physical punishment, but this time around she has struck a bad nerve. She has committed a grave offense and will not go unpunished!"Mate!" Ander shouts in excitement the moment we step into the dungeon and her pheromone hits my nostrils. I stop on my tracks and take in a long deep breath before walking on. Her pheromone smells like heaven and I will never be able to get enough of it."Catania!" I call with a thunderous voice the moment I step before her cell door and she rises on her feet to face me."Yes, Alpha Nolan" she replies rather confidently. "Did you finally find out the truth?" She asks with a wicked smirk plastered at the side of her beautiful lips
CHAPTER TWENTY-ONECATANIA'S POVI don’t know how long it has been, but it feels like forever ever since these men started torturing me. When they brought me in here, they had me tied to a chair and gagged my mouth with a cloth. I have been whipped, pinched, smacked, electrocuted and many other awful things I do not want to talk about. Right now I don’t have even an iota of energy left in me. I screamed and cried and begged them to stop, but they wouldn’t listen. What baffles me the most is the fact these men find this act very pleasurable. How is that so?I used to hear the statement, life is unfair, but I did understand until now. I have done absolutely nothing to deserve all this beatings, all this torture.They all hate me for nothing and what I want to do is get away from all of them.The most aching thing is that my mate has taken it upon himself to make sure my life is miserable. Everyday I can't help but wonder if he cannot actually feel this mate bond that I am feeling. Whene
CHAPTER TWENTY-TWONOLAN'S POV"How is she doing?" Nigel asks, walking into my bedroom and I let out a heavy sigh as I rise from the couch I was seated on.The moment I walked into that torture room and saw her covered in blood and bruises as a result of what the guards had done to her, I felt as guilty as sin. I did not ask them to torture her to that level and I'm going to punish them for that.Her bruises have healed fast because of our healing abilities, but she still looks miserable and my heart bleeds everytime I look at her. Ander has resorted to ignoring me.No matter how hard I have tried to get him to talk, he hasn't uttered a word and I'm really worried and above all, guilty."Are you here to chastise me about what I did?" I ask as I turn to face Nigel who has on a blank expression.He's mad at me and I can see it in his eyes. The only thing stopping him from pouncing on me right now is the fact that I'm his Alpha and he has no right to start a fight with me.If I was some
CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE.MIA'S POVI think I have to be very careful these days. It seems a lot of people are getting on this issue and with every minute that passes, it's going to be more difficult for me to lie and go Scott free. I had no idea Alpha Kai was conscious of what actually went on in his bedroom, that's why I kept insisting on the lie that Catania was the one who dragged me over to his bedroom. I also totally forgot about the fact that she had been locked up for most of the time and so she had no idea where Alpha Kai's bedroom was situated.The worst case of all is that I forgot that the people around here respect me a lot and it's impossible for Catania to drag me for such a long distance without anyone stopping her.So many loopholes that could've gotten me in a very compromising situation. When Alpha Nolan mentioned these facts, I almost melted on my spot and the only thing I could do was accept the truth and apologize, but still I lied about the fact that Catania pushed m
CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR. The dust seems to have settled these last days. Ever since I got discharged from the hospital, there has been no drama and no Mia to cause any at all. Alpha Nolan has come to visit me a few times which he made sure to be very rude to me and I don't need to tell you that that devastates me, but what can I do?The only person who makes me feel better is the Beta, Nigel, who doesn't want to stop calling me Luna even after all that is going on. He is so good and that stubborn Alpha is very lucky to have him by his side.I can't go anywhere without being heavily guarded and it is exhausting. The next time Alpha Nolan comes here, I'm going to ask him to let me go back to my pack. I am sick and tired of staying here like someone who has no plans for their life.Back at my pack I was about to begin my training to become a Pack doctor. If there's nothing for me to do here,I'd rather go back and keep on with my training than to sit here and watch my mate shower someone else
CHAPTER 25.NOLAN'S POV"Catania, how many times have I told you to keep your hands off my mate?" I roar in anger as I push Catania off Mia's body."I'm only going to do so the day she stops looking for my trouble! Tell her to stay the hell away from me!" She scolds back in anger and I turn to look at Mia who looks terrible. Her entire face is red from the smacks she got and her lips are bleeding."Mia, go to my bedroom, I will get the Pack doctor to attend to you" I instruct as I help her to rise on her feet. I watch in sorrow as she walks out of the bedroom still in tears and the moment she is out of sight, I turn to Catania who looks the least bothered about what just happened."How dare you!" I ask in fury as I close the gap between us. She looks up at me, with a daring smile plastered on her beautiful face and you have no idea how hard it is for me to maintain my poker face.I close my eyes and let out a heavy breath. Her pheromone is raiding my mind and I cannot even think proper
