Harlyn“So, you want me to apologize to your uncle?” I asked, and he nodded. He just explained the most shocking details to me and I was so tempted to remind him that I warned him but I saw how sad the betrayal made him look. He was trying to hide it but I could see that he genuinely felt betrayed by his uncle who he trusted so much.Hearing that I was right all along didn’t give me the thrill that I thought it would. Not with how it made Bernardo feel. “Yes, please.” “What if he doesn’t buy it? What if he suspects up?” I asked, I mean, a while ago, I practically challenged him and now, he wanted me to act like I was sorry. “He won’t suspect a thing. He will just see it as I was able to talk you into apologizing.” Bernardo answered. I nodded in agreement. At least, now he won't tell me off anymore concerning his uncle. Funny how the man came to the palace just to prove me right. I won’t be surprised if he has a hand in the death of the king and by extension my father. I hoped th
Harlyn“I am sorry for how I acted yesterday, I was in heat, he was taking so long with his meeting and when he did come, he asked me to go say hi even though he knew I would be rude.” I lied through my teeth. Wearing my fakest remorseful look. We were currently in the old man’s home office or study; whichever it was. He looked from me to Bernardo and back to me. I didn’t flinch or look away. “What the fuck, Lyn?” Bernardo whispered in my head. He asked me to apologize but never told me how to apologize so I gave a reason that anyone could easily understand. A wolf in heat usually acts out especially when they have a mate and their needs are not fulfilled.“Let me cook.” I thought and ignored him to focus on my target. My lies seemed to get the desired result because the older man smiled. I still couldn’t stand him and still felt uncomfortable in his presence but I promised Bernardo that I would help and that’s what I was currently doing.“You didn’t have to bring her all the way
Harlyn“Aren’t you going to wait around and find out who he’s meeting with?” I asked Bernardo as our car zoomed away. I honestly thought we were going to drive away from his house and then wait around to find out who would come to see him. Bernardo turned to me and shook his head. “Why not? This is the easy way to find out.” I let out. He was throwing a good opportunity away.“Damien got it covered. We will find out who came to visit him. The bugs you planted are video records. All angles you place them will give us a view of each person that goes into that place. We don’t have to wait in his house.” He explained. I nodded in understanding and stayed quiet as he called Damien and told him we had done as he asked. When his call was done, he turned to me and smiled.“You did well there. You left no doubts in his mind.” He complimented.“How did you know he would go with you to the restroom and why did he do it anyway?” I asked the question that has been bugging me.“I know his hab
Harlyn “Bernardo.” I called out inside my head, hoping that he would connect with me but all I could feel was rage. He was running.“I am going to kill him. I am going to kill them all.” That was all he said. “Come on, Bernardo. Get back here. Don’t do what you are thinking right now.” I tried but my head went silent. He cut the connection off and he was about to make a mistake. I had to do something, try to stop him but I couldn’t run to him because I couldn’t shift yet.“Are you a shifter?” I asked the driver who looked just as shocked as I was. He shook his head. I let out a sigh and got back into the car. I grabbed his phone that he left and called Damien as he was my only option. I tried to calm down as it won’t do me any good to panic right now. Maybe I should have waited until we were at the palace before I showed him. I should have waited. It would have been easier to hold him back.“Alpha.”Damien called out when he took the call. “No, this is Harlyn.” I corrected him
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
