BernardoAt first, I thought of going over to the mini recorder and yanking it off but I thought against it. If I moved it, he would know I found out about his deceit. I should have known. Harlyn told me times without numbers. Even Damien tried to tell me but I told him off and he never spoke about it again. I inspected the bug to make sure I wasn’t making it up and sure enough it was there. Blinking a faint blue light. They already turned it on. The light was so faint that if I didn’t focus on it, I would never have noticed in this huge office.“Fuck!” I growled in a low voice. I felt betrayed because I really trusted my uncle. I believed his every word and almost fought with my Luna because of him. Meanwhile, she had been right about him plotting against me. Why else would he place a recorder in my office?The only reason I even knew was because I noticed his eyes going over there more times than I could count in the space of ten minutes. He had been nervous. Why did he choose to
Bernardo “Sean came to my office earlier. I asked our Luna to come say hi, but she flamed up when she got to my office and wasn’t comfortable around him. She clearly saw and felt something that I didn’t. She stormed out of the office. I followed behind her and tried to make her apologize to Sean.” I hate that part now, I should never have asked her to apologize to him. I should have listened to her from the beginning. “Okay? What happened after that?” “We argued. Don’t worry, we already made up.” I added when I saw his worried expression. “I came back from my office and met Sean walking out of the secret room in my office.” His eyes widened. “I haven’t gone in there to check if everything was okay because I saw something else in the office after he left.” Damien’s eyes were burning with curiosity. “He taped my office.” I revealed. “What?” Damien yelled out. It was still shocking to me that the man I spent years trusting and defending even from my grandmother turned out to
TheoDays after leaving the Crimson Moon, nothing was working over there. Edna couldn’t do a simple job. Hearing of her passing made me so mad. I should have been the one to kill her with my hands. I spared her for that job but she still managed to fail. Good thing she thought of killing herself before I got to her because it wouldn't have been an easy death if I had laid my hands on her again.Over here, I seemed to have hit the jackpot. The first person I met as soon as my plane landed in the city was a witch. Not just a regular witch but one with decades of spell-casting powers. We hit off immediately and I have been living with her for the past couple of days. I was slowly letting her in on my plans and so far, she was on board with it.If everything goes as planned with her, I will return to the Crimson Moon sooner than planned. Not just that, all the people that I have spoken to so far have all given positive responses. Of course, nothing was free. I promised them a huge rew
Theo “Bernardo doesn’t suspect a thing but I don’t know for how long I can keep pretending.” “You have been pretending for years. Don’t act like you didn’t try to kill him multiple times and failed. Don’t act like I put you up to the pretending shit. Just own your failure and watch me succeed where you failed.” He failed so many times and gave up. If he didn’t give up, I wouldn't have to fight that bastard for the throne. All I would have done was take my father out of the way and become the alpha king. But the fucker failed miserably. He sat there and watched the queen mother and the elders crown a freaking child as king.“Watch what you say to me, Theo. I am still your father and you haven’t particularly succeeded in any of your plans either. In fact, I have had more success than you. I was able to take out the former king and the zeta. What have you done other than make a mess and run away? You keep boosting but haven’t achieved anything. All your allies are now scared and might
Harlyn I rushed down towards the main palace in fear of what might become of me. I made a mistake today and it might lead to me either getting scolded which would be the lesser punishment for what I did or getting sent to the dungeon to receive at least ten lashes of cane. It was a horrific experience that I never wanted to happen to me. That's why I always made sure to do all my work on time and make sure to answer as soon as I am called but today, I made a mistake. I was called to the king’s chamber but before I could go, Princess Sophie, the alpha king’s younger stepsister called me and made me wash her feet which took longer than I expected. I thought she would at least tell her brother that she was the one that requested for me but she didn’t say anything and now I am going to face a very angry alpha king. Alpha Benardo is the alpha of the crimson moon pack and is known to be ruthless and unforgiven. Not only was he an alpha but he was king too. Many years ago, his forefathers
Harlyn “Your Highness,”I managed to say. He looked at me, maybe trying to figure out who I was. I couldn’t say anything else as his hazel eyes searched mine. I was drowning in those eyes. He was beautiful. I knew this was the only time I would ever be this close to him so I let my eyes wander around his handsome face. Taking every feature of his godlike face in and marveling at how someone could be so beautiful. “Harlyn? Are you there? Hey?”I came back from the trance his heavenly face had sent me to and heard him calling out my name. He knew my name. “Your Highness,”I managed to say. He finally let me go and I put a distance between us to enable me to think. “You called for me,”I said while bowing down. my hands were shaking. This was the closest I had ever been to the king. “I called you hours ago, why are you just showing up?”I felt the fear rise in me as he spoke. “I, I, I am sorry my king, I was doing other chores,”“What chores are more important than coming to see me
HarlynI couldn’t think straight anymore and my wolf wasn’t helping either, she was so ready to give in. If she could come out, this was the moment that she would have shown up because she was fighting so hard to surface. I sucked in a breath as he pulled me closer to himself and his lips landed on mine in a hungry, wild, uncontrollable, and uncultured manner, feeding at my mouth and demanding entrance. I opened my mouth and his tongue entered my mouth and our tongues danced together. This was my first real kiss in the twenty-something years of my life, the only time I had kissed someone before was when I was seventeen and it had ended horribly, now the alpha king was doing a good job erasing the horrible first kiss experience and replaying it with a steamy memory of the pressure of his mouth on mine as his hands tore the clothes I had on off my body and soon I stood before him, naked. He took a step back to look at me and I heard his intake of breath. I couldn’t believe I was the on
Harlyn “Why are you still laying down there?”His voice got me out of bed. He sounded harsh which was shocking. Why was he shouting at me after what happened last night and a while ago? “My king,”“Get dressed and get out of my room,”He yelled. He was angry but I couldn’t tell why. “But my king,”I tried to protest. “Don’t call me. I want you out of my room right now. And forget everything that happened here last night and this morning,”he warned me. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. He slept with me, took my virginity, marked me as his, and now he wanted me to go away and forget any of it happened. How will I ever be able to do that? “But my king, last night, you.”I let out and had to stop talking because I was almost in tears. This wasn’t what I thought would happen. He was supposed to tell me I was his mate and tell me that he accepted me and wanted me to be his forever. That was the whole point of the mark. His mark that I now carried on my body. That I will carry for
