Gianna The sound of ice cubes falling into the glass breaks the silence surrounding me as I fill my glass with ice before pouring water into the glass. The sound startles the babies, so I gently rub my hand over my belly to comfort them. Drinking the water, I think about everything that we have discovered until now. And all I feel is frustrated and annoyed. Jarek and others left for the clubhouse an hour ago. Jarek said they need to be prepared if anything goes south and also update Dad and other brothers. Jarek only trusts his brothers, as they are bonded with blood, which means that they are loyal and most trusted wolves of Jarek. The blood bond allows Jarek to sense their feelings, and it is easy for him to figure out if someone is lying or hiding something. Even though he is sure they will betray him, there is no harm in being cautious. Jarek was worried that I would go back to my house, but I assured him that I would not be leaving my home. This place is mine... this home i
GiannaBy the time I finished devouring the delicious chili that Brooke had cooked for me, she had cleaned up the entire house, much to my annoyance and dismay. I have noticed she is always doing something; it is like she can't sit idly and relax. Whenever I see her, she is always occupied with something; if she is not doing anything, then she is reading. Even though there were so many questions that I had regarding her previous life, I refrained from asking. Instead, I asked about herself, her favorite color, her favorite food, and so on. While I shared pieces of my life with her, I talked about my mom and the experiences that altered my views or the things which inspired me.She is easy to talk with and instantly makes you comfortable, and you never get the judgemental kind of vibes from her. When you talk to her, it doesn't feel like she just hears you... because she listens to you.It is almost around the evening when I decide to go to the clubhouse because I feel it is time tha
Gianna All the brothers are holed up in the room for more than four hours. One hour ago, Daniel came outside to announce that the club was going under lockdown and asked the members to call everyone back who was out on the road. He also asked the members to bring their families to the clubhouse or, if not, make sure they were somewhere safe. The seriousness of this situation is way more than I had expected. But Jarek has already told me what will be my duty in such a situation since he is going to be busy handling all the other important things; I need to step up to my role as Luna and take control of things at the clubhouse. I don't know what the hell is going on, but all I know is that we are at war. I have never witnessed any such thing, and from the faces of my friends even, all this is new for them. The entire atmosphere of the clubhouse has been shifted, and the tension is so thick that you can cut it with a knife. The only person who seems indifferent to all this is Brook
GiannaThe next morning when I woke up, I found the clubhouse already filling with families of wolves. Some of the wolves decided to relocate their family to a safer place, but most of them preferred to bring them to the clubhouse.If it weren't for the severity of the situation, it would feel like there are some festivities going on at the clubhouse.Since it is the next day, I decide to check on Brooke before doing anything.Walking to her door, I knock on it only to find it open. Opening the door further, I stick my head inside and call her, but the room is empty.For a second, my heart dropped in my stomach, thinking about what if she decided to leave us, but then my gaze went to her stuff beside the bedside table. All these are shopping bags of clothes that I forced her to buy. This girl hardly owns anything; the amazing part is she seems happy with whatever she has.I can't even believe that Tamara behaved so horribly with her and accused her of something that was impossible.Cl
Gianna I am busy welcoming the families to the clubhouse and also helping them to settle. There is an air of chaos and confusion among them which is understandable, as suddenly they are asked to leave their homes and stay at the clubhouse. "Justin." I motion to one of the prospects, calling him, "Show them the guest rooms on the first floor." I point at the new family, which consists of three pre-teens and a mother. "Excuse me, ma'am." One of the teens walks toward me, "We haven't seen our dad yet. Do you know where he is?" She nervously tucks a strand of her curly red hair behind her ear. They are Isiah's family, I remember him once showing his daughters' pictures to us when they took them on a father-daughter date. "Well, honey, some of our trained and trusted wolves have already left with my father. And I think your Isiah is also among those." I smile at her politely. "Will he return back?" Her voice breaks at the end as she blinks rapidly to dry her tears. Lifting my eye
Jarek My wolf preens, looking at our mate, as my heart swells with pride and love watching Gianna. The way she is handling things is way beyond my expectations. I never had a doubt that she wouldn't be able to fulfill the role of Luna, but the way everything comes naturally to her surprised me. It seems like she doesn't need any guidance to step into the shoes of Luna; she was born for this role. Things are currently chaotic, as we are on the verge of war, and the anxiousness that everyone is feeling is obvious. But the moment Gianna took charge of handling the club's other affairs, like helping with settling the families and making sure everyone was doing what was supposed to do, it seemed like everything had just gotten under control. The reports which I have received from Eric don't seem good. I haven't asked them not to indulge in the fight until the backup isn't there because I can't deliberately put anyone's life at risk. Another group will leave for the southern chapter w
Gianna I am trying to stay strong, but it feels like I am failing. Fear is crawling all over my heart, and it seems like I am losing everything which I hold dear to my heart. Maybe I am overreacting, but I can't shake off this feeling that something isn't right. I don't want Jarek to go, but I can't stop him, either. My mind is telling me to be rational and trust Jarek, but my heart is telling me not to let him go. I have never felt so conflicted in my life about how conflicted I am feeling at this moment. Looking upward, I blink the tears dry that have gathered in my eyes. Since the moment I found out that he is leaving in the morning, everything has become real. Suddenly, the weight of the situation is pressing down on my chest. I would not be there with him, and the thought of being away from him caused anxiety to bubble inside my chest. I run my hand over my belly as the boys seem to have caught on that I am worried has been frantically moving inside my womb. It seems so
Gianna For the first time since our wedding, the main dining hall is opened, and almost everyone present in the clubhouse is at the table. I was surprised to find this main dining hall, as it was the last thing I expected to find in a rowdy clubhouse. But Diana told me back in the days when her father used to be the Alpha, the clubhouse used to hold lavish formal gatherings whether other Alphas and their high-ranking wolves were invited during the full moon. Since the pack system no longer existed and the wolves were in smaller populations, to satisfy their wolves' need to run in packs, these runs were organized. But now it rarely happens as everyone has settled and just like our other clubhouses have been formed. So, these Alphas have their own clubs to organize runs, just like Jarek organizes these during every full moon. So, as everyone was here, Jarek decided to throw this meal so everyone could simply have a good time with their families, forgetting about the impending threat
