Chapter 80 Trying to forgetNIA’S POV“You don't mean it!” Perry yelled into the phone. Even though it was on speaker, she still seemed to be having difficulty hearing because she kept mumbling curses.Ezra kissed his teeth on the other end. “I am so pissed right now. I confronted Gemma, and she affirmed it to my face. I am mostly disappointed in Gael; it hasn't even been twenty-four hours, and he already moved on with her. Forgive me for saying this to you, Nia. But it is best to forget about the Sunset pack and move on with your life. You deserve better than this. Trying to love a damaged person like Gael was a complete waste of time. He and Gemma deserve each other.”“I am taking a flight to the pack this minute!” Perry uttered.I sighed, feeling exhausted. “You will do no such thing. Do you intend to go beat Gemma up and then end up behind bars? There is no need for us to bring ourselves so low.“I sincerely appreciate your help, Ezra. I am so sorry for the inconvenience. I promis
Chapter 81 Dear BrotherNIA’S POVPerry has always been full of surprises. She pulls stunts on me that I thought I had seen until now. Before She headed out this morning to make a painting delivery, Perry told me a guest was coming over and instructed that I make whoever it was feel at home. I thought it might be one of the new friends she made. Only for the doorbell to ring, and I found Kingston by the door smiling at me. I didn't know she had his contact. She must have searched through my phone because I can't remember giving her the contact.“Can I come in?” He asked.I snapped out of my thoughts, flushing in embarrassment. “Oh, pardon me, please. I am so sorry. Please come in. What would you like to drink? I wasn't expecting to see you. I don't know what you might like.” I rambled nonstop.Kingston chuckled and halted the continuous talk. “since when were you ever uncomfortable in my presence? Can you quit acting up and sit with me? I am not a stranger; when I want to take any ref
Chapter 82 Finding her familyNIA’S POVMy eyes fluttered as I adjusted it to the early morning light. I glanced around the room, feeling out of place. No matter how much I try to get the thoughts of my present condition out of my mind, it keeps haunting me. On mornings like this, Gael would sleep soundly next to me. Things have changed now, and I wake up in my bed alone.Every day, I stare at my phone, hoping he would send me a text or put a call through after realizing his mistake. As much as I wished for it, I know it wastes time. He had already made up his mind and wouldn't attempt to communicate. I have never felt this way towards anyone before. The mere thought of him makes my heart ache. I wondered why we became close in the first place if we would end like this. The humiliation stuck to my body like glue.I must admit to Perry and Kingston's kindness. Both of them make me feel like I have nothing to worry about. Kingston, exceptionally, has returned to playing his older brothe
Chapter 83 The LunaGAEL'S POV“Good morning, baby. How was your night?” Gemma whispered in my ear. I couldn't help but feel irritated by the sound.Sucking my teeth, I shrugged her off. When I sat up, my backbones made a crack. My body feels like that of an aging werewolf. For the past three weeks, all I have indulged in is drinking and snapping at anyone who dared to speak to my face. It irritates me more that Ezra chose to keep his distance from me; he only mentions something when it is about the pack.It is the maximum time we have spent not talking to each other, which is why I have also made up my mind to toss him aside. Gemma is the only one who has stayed true to me.Sometimes, the thought of Nia comes to mind, but I have refused to let that get to me. She isn't relevant, and I don't care about wherever she might be. I know that Ezra must have helped her out and that alone is enough to charge Ezra for treason. I am only being professional by not mixing the matters of the pack
Chapter 84 Be the LunaAUTHOR’S POVGemma burned a hole into Gael's back as he stomped through the garden, cutting down every plant in his way. Even though he would never admit it, she can tell that many things around remind Gael of Nia. It's her delight that he attempts to destroy everything that does so. But then, it's becoming more of a menace.The only time Gael pays her attention is when he intends to have sex, just like before. The difference between now and then is that he no longer has concubines. However, she would have preferred if he had his concubines around.Just a few days ago, she caught him having an orgy in his study. It was so disgusting to see, and he was dead drunk. Despite everything, she must keep her head up and not forget the goal. Clearing her throat, Gemma plastered a smile and walked towards him. She kept her relaxed demeanor expression on; that seems to be the catch for Gael lately.“Is everything okay, Gael?” She asked in a low tone.Gael turned to her, st
Chapter 85 Finding Her FamilyNIA’S POVMy heart thumped as I stared at the envelope in my hand. Kingston kept his promise to help find my father's family if they were still alive. I wasn't sure how I would feel about it if we saw someone. But I found myself getting anxious from the moment Kingston told me he was on it.Now Kingston helped find them; I feel scared that they might not want me. No one wanted me as a werewolf. What reason do the humans have to accept me? I know they are family, but people can be peculiar.The sound of my phone ringing jolted me out of my reverie. I smiled weakly at the caller ID. “Hey, Kingston.”“Hey, you too.” He replied in a laughing tone. “Why do I feel like you are still staring at the letter instead of opening it?"I glanced around the room to be sure he wasn't there. “How do you know?”“I know you quite well, Nia. Also, I got a notification they delivered it. In that envelope, there are copies of your father's educational certificates and pictures
Chapter 86 The OrgyGAEL’S POVI coughed from sleep, and my eyes flared open. I sat up, feeling lost. I scratched the back of my eyes to be sure of where I was. Naked ladies littered the entire room. I rolled my eyes at the sight—another wasted night with strangers.For some reason, I can't keep any of them as my concubine. They don't interest me that much. I am much more keen on having different women to myself. I know there is something I keep trying to find among them; none of them is like her. They all try hard, but nobody can ever beat her perfection. And I hate that it has come to this. I want to forget everything that might be a fragment of her memory.Still, like a haunted mind, it keeps returning to me. I pushed past the lady who rested on me. I got dressed and stepped out. It's just a few minutes past midnight. I remember yelling at Gemma when she tried to help me up after drinking myself into a stupor. I don't feel sorry for that, and she knows better than to pull me away f
Chapter 87 Meeting Her FamilyNIA’S POV“Why do you look so pale?” Perry asked in a worried tone. “It's okay if you don't want to meet with her anymore. We can always reschedule or forget about everything.”I stared at my pale face in the mirror. I look like someone who has seen a ghost or is about to. I couldn't sleep a wink all night after I finally decided to meet. I have had so many negative thoughts so far, wondering if she might have had a particular picture of me in her head, and she ended up getting disappointed. Or, probably, I am the one who ends up breaking into a run. For someone driving from New Haven to see me, I believe she would have some expectations. I don't want to ruin it for her, so I must keep face.I shake my head, feeling woozy. My body hasn't been in the right state for days now, and I think it is my lack of sleep. “If I don't meet her today, I might pass out. I have been too anxious for this moment. I must get it over with.”Perry sighed, making her way towar
