SapphiraWhen I woke up, the other side of the bed was cold and so did my heart turn. I sat up. He didn't spend the night here.My face fell and my insides twisted hurtfully. Was he also avoiding me now? What did I ever do to him?'Why doesn't he want us?' Saskia was also awake and she was feeling incredibly sad as well. But I didn't know how to respond to her so I blocked off the link.Maybe it's because of the mate bond but I feel worse than I'd imagine. I hated this mate bond between us. Hated the fact that he was my mate yet acting like he wasn't. Well, if this is how he is going to play his game, I'll play along. "Today is a beautiful day. I get to go on a tour around my new pack with his brothers so I shouldn't ruin my mood over his attitude," I reassured myself and replaced the frown with a smile.I looked to the side and saw that Mateo was still asleep. He must have turned during the night as he was now sleeping in a slanted position. There was this cute pout on his chubby fa

Sapphira I laughed at Roberto's funny words and Ricardo's dark face. They had both been embarrassing each other with funny childhood memories. It was really funny especially when they mentioned Raphael. Like the time he stripped naked and ran around the entire pack refusing to get dressed because their mother had been away on a journey for a long while. So he decided he wasn't going to get dressed until they told him when their mother was going to return. It was actually surprising to hear he was close to someone and that was his mother. He seems to really like her. 'Perhaps, we can also get him to like us through his mother first,' Saskia suggested. I frowned slightly. I was tempted by that idea but I didn't think it was right to do so. Using someone for my benefit. It's his loss if he doesn't like me. Besides, I don't know what kind of a person his mother might be. Could she be like the stern Lunas I read about in books while growing up who ruled their packs and families with

SapphiraI watched my mother-in-law's eyes shimmer with tears as her outstretched arms trembled. She looked like if they didn't give the baby to her, she was going to collapse from crying.Maybe it was because of the motherly instinct in me, I wanted to take Mateo away... Far away from her but Roberto already stretched him.Ricardo carried him and helped him get into a comfortable position with her. I watched as she cradled him closely and gingerly like he was a fragile egg and I was so confused. There were questions written all over my face but all I did was watch her try to hush Mateo in a soft voice.And when he stopped crying and looked up at her curiously, I could see the lone tear escaping down her face.'Why is she acting this way?' Saskia was also concerned and her nervous feelings flooded my body system."Mother," I called out gently. "Are you alright? Why are you crying?"Everyone else also seemed concerned including my father-in-law. He was sitting by the bedside and lookin

SophiaRicardo's eyes narrowed at me and I know he doesn't trust me. It was probably because of that incident that happened in the kitchen the other time but I already apologized.Why are they all acting like it's a big deal? It's not. Anyone could have mistaken her as a maid with how wretched she dressed.But I quickly gave that small, innocent smile that usually works my magic on him and I held onto his arm tightly."Don't look at me like that. I'm being serious and I mean no harm. It's part of the tradition. Isn't she supposed to cook her first meal for the family?"Ricardo looked at me for a while as if trying to sense what I was playing at but I kept the smile on my face. I know he can sense if I'm lying so I tried to look as innocent as possible. "Look, I know Luna Sapphira and I started on a wrong note but I just want to amend my mistakes and reconcile with her. It's her duty to prepare her first meal for the family and since no one was going to tell her that, I just suggested

Sapphira"How... How... How..." I could hear Sophia stutter but I didn't pay her any attention. I snuck a glance at Raphael and noticed he wasn't looking angry or cold anymore.If anything, he was staring at me curiously. I snorted inwardly and turned my face away. He gets angry easily and says harsh words. I should learn to do the same or ignore him.He treated me every minute like I am not worthy of him and I am going to start showing him that I don't care even if it hurts.When I turned my face away, I didn't notice that his brows arched or he snorted with a haughty attitude.I turned my gaze to mother who was being helped to where her own dishes were arranged. I was a bit nervous as she inhaled the scent of the meals in front of her.'You did well. After eating those herbal meals, her stiff limbs and aches won't hurt so much any more. If we manage to impress his mother, perhaps we can impress him too.'I snorted again. At this point, I didn't want to impress him anymore. He was be
