HarlynMy heart was beating so fast that I feared it might explode. I was scared. The man; whoever he was, found Sophie. I could tell from how Bernardo gripped the steering that he was teased too. We wasted so much time at the palace but I pray that we will get to her early. I never really thought of how hard the elders were on Bernardo until I saw them try to stop him from going to his sister. Their reason was that they couldn’t have him in danger.Yes, I understand their fears but at the end of the day, Bernardo was still the strongest wolf in the whole of the Crimson Moon pack so he could protect himself. His sister was just as important. Hearing them talk about sending others and making him wait at the palace pissed me off so much. They were out of life. Thankfully, Bernardo used his power over them. At the end of the day, his words were indisputable. They only succeeded in delaying us and now, Sophie was crying and begging the fucker to let her go. But he wasn’t listening and dra
HarlynHe wasn’t just any kind of man. He had horns and his face, his eyes! I couldn’t tell if he was wearing a mask or if that’s how he really looked! I looked at Sophie in his arms and it seemed she passed out, which may be the reason I couldn’t connect to her.I didn’t know what to do.“Bernardo,”I whispered, wishing he would choose the moment to connect with me but there was only silence, I looked around for something to defend myself but there was nothing. I let out a gasp when he dropped Sophie’s body on the ground and started strolling towards me. I looked around, finding it hard to decide what to do. I couldn’t just leave him with Sophie, he would take her way and that would break Bernardo but at the same time, I was scared of what he might do to me.“Stay away from me you monster!”I yelled out when he kept walking towards me, for a moment, I wished my powers were for fighting and not healing. I couldn’t defend myself against a demon like him.“Don’t come near me,”I let ou
Bernardo I paused and looked at Harlyn, she was coming towards me and just tried to stop me from delivering the last strike that would kill the fucker who tried to kill my sister or maybe kidnap her. I wasn’t sure what his intentions were, heck, I thought it was Theo but this wasn’t TheoThis was some strange man wearing a monster mask. Still, he was here to hurt my sister and he killed the security men! I couldn’t spare him and I wondered why Harlyn suddenly felt protective of him. Did she recognize him as someone she knew? Was that why they had been standing and looking at each other when I first arrived?Was he an ex-boyfriend of hers? That can't be because when we slept together, she was a virgin. Unless they dated without having sex. Too many questions were running through my head but I couldn’t get answers to any of them. I was still in my wolf form and my wolf was still ready for a kill.“Why don’t you want me to kill him? Do you know him?”I asked Harlyn in my head.“I don’t
Harlyn “He didn’t kill those security men!”I yelled right back at Bernardo. I heard the collective gasp from the men who just arrived and I knew I shouldn’t have yelled at the alpha king in front of his pack members but he was being insensitive and yelling at me without letting me explain.At first, I just wanted to heal the masked monster man but when I touched him, I saw what he had been up to when he entered Sophie’s mansion. He wasn’t the one she was hiding from. He saved her. At first, I couldn’t believe it because he was the only one at the scene and he was carrying her away when I stopped him.My visions couldn’t have been wrong though! He didn’t kill those men! The real culprit was still around somewhere or maybe he left but I just don’t know yet.“What did you just say?”Bernardo asked me in disbelief. Yeah, I wasn’t surprised that he didn’t believe me. He would think I was trying to lie and save him since I already stopped him from killing him.“He isn’t the one you should
HarlynThe rest of the ride to the palace was silent and uneventful. I didn’t realize that it was almost damn already until I checked the time. It felt like days had passed since I left the Orange Moon but it was not even twenty-four hours yet. Once we arrived, Bernardo carried the still-sleeping princess to a room on his side of the palace. I assumed he wanted her in a place where he could easily check on her. By that point, I was beyond tired and sleepy. I didn’t even wait for Bernardo to say anything to me. I just walked straight to his room and fell on the bed.Even though I had a lot on my mind and so many unanswered questions, I was too tired for them to stop me from falling asleep. I didn’t know for how long I slept but then I felt arms wrapped around me and without opening my eyes, I knew who it was. I leaned into his touch and heard his intake of breath. I turned in his arms and opened my eyes. He smiled when our eyes met.“What time is it?” I asked him.“Still too early fo
Harlyn “If you feel something then you guys have to be related somehow,” Bernardo whispered. He read my thoughts. I am slowly getting used to it now.“I don’t know, Bern. I don’t know my mom and you know my dad passed away years ago. If I had a sibling, he would probably be here. Also, he wasn’t trying to kidnap her. I checked when I touched him and he was worried for her. I think they know each other,” I was guessing but the way he had been holding her. and the way she hadn’t been tense and leaned into him. I didn’t think about it earlier but right now, it kind of made sense. “Are you suggesting that I almost killed my sister’s boyfriend?” Bernardo asked. I hated to admit it and I might be wrong but I was fifty percent certain they knew each other.“Only Sophie can answer that,” I told him.“Fuck! I sent him to the dungeon. Sophie would kill me if she found out I sent her man to jail. Why was he wearing that mask? Why were there dead men in the house? Why was Sophie calling fo
Harlyn“I said that?” I asked, pretending like I didn’t know what he was talking about. He laughed and flipped me over so that I was on top of him.“Yes, you did. Right after you said some really mean shits about me,” Maybe I should watch what I think about now but how do one watch what they think about? “You can’t, that’s the drill. You are like an open book to me. I see through you,” He said and pulled my face closer to his.“I missed you so much, Harlyn. We shouldn’t have been apart. I should never have ever said those words that I said to you.” I knew what he was talking about and I agreed. We shouldn’t have been apart at all. The moment he marked me, we should have been together. but then, I couldn’t change everything that happened if I was given a chance to. I met really cool people and also found my strength and ability. I dare to say it was all fated. It was all meant to happen the way it didn’t and we shouldn’t question what happened.I closed the distance between us and
Harlyn “I almost killed my sister’s mate,” Bernardo turned to me. “But you didn’t,” I told him. He shook his head. “If you hadn’t been there, if you hadn’t stopped me, I would have killed him,” “You didn’t kill him, Bern. You could have even when I told you not to. You stopped because you could,” I walked towards him and placed my hand on his chest. “Don’t you get it? He could be your brother too! I almost killed Sophie’s mate and possibly your only family,” He let out. I wasn’t really sure that the man was my family. How can he be and why did he leave the Crimson Moon if he was really my family? “We don’t know that yet and I think you still have the chance to fix things. He’s still alive. You should go talk to her,” I advised. He let out a sigh. “I feel like I am going to do it all wrong. I don’t want to do this but can you go see her? I will go and get her mate from the dungeon, just stay with her, please,” He pleaded. I wasn’t so sure, especially because Soph
