When Bartram woke up the next morning. He made some noise at the door as he dried his wet clothes. The noise was loud, and he silently opened the door. A man was sitting and leaning at the door when the door opened. He lost his balance and fell into the room, his back flat on the floor. Bartram stood over him, and their eyes connected. Bartram's brows furrowed as he glanced down at the man. He couldn't shake the thoughts from his head. 'Another vampire?' He thought. Neon got to his feet and began dusting his clothes. "Morning Beta Bartram." "Who are you?" Bartram asked. "Why were you leaning on the door?" Neon ignored his question. "Our queen surely has a handsome father." Bartram ignored the compliment just as Neon had ignored his question. "Who are you?" Neon's lips broke into a smile. "Neon, Ashford's best friend." Bartram nodded. "Okay? So what are you doing here?" "I came with Ashford yesterday; he let him in at the front of the building. I thought we were leaving soone
"You already agreed to be his Luna." "I know. I live in Lunar Crest; pursuing a relationship with you is forbidden." She wanted to add more if she could be the Luna of the pack. She could make Adrian change some rules for the werewolf or do it herself. But she was gifted with two mates. "Forbidden does not change anything; you are my bride, and it's high time you fill your space even though it's only for once." He paused. "My mother wants me to get married to her friend's daughter." Luna was stunned and confused. She had Alexa in the pack to battle with, and then there was also a girl in the vampire kingdom who wanted her mate. "What's her name?" "Diana." He answered. She was supposed to be married, but she lost consciousness, and the engagement couldn't hold. I already told my mother that I couldn't get married to her. "There is no way you would marry her." Luna yelled. She looked at him, and when she saw the surprised look on his face, she looked away from him. "You can do w
"You said he was your only friend, and you don’t know anything about him? Who was he? A vampire? A werewolf? Or what?" Ashford asked. Luna tried to think that Assy had been her best friend, but she knew nothing about him. Only the fact that he only comes at night made her feel like a jerk. How was she going to find him when she didn’t even know his identity? She only knew about his dislikes and likes. "I know his likes and dislikes, and that is enough for me." Luna said. "You see why I said he was imaginary?" Bartram asked Ashford. Luna was expecting him to side with her father, and she tried to hide the inner anger within her. If he could side with her father, she was going to snap at him and storm off. Adrian had not believed her when she said she was pushed from the roof by Alexa, and now he won’t believe her? Ashford shook his head. No, Beta, Assy was real. I believe her." Luna raised her head to look at him, and the words brushed over her heart. Her anger was gone, replaced
Adrian sat on a chair in his room, writing down some stuff on paper. Trevor had told him how his grandfather was killed. Adrian did not let Phoebe sleep alone; she slept in his room, and he watched over her. Whoever that person was, it was sure that they had something against the alphas too. Or was he only after the girl and wanted the search team to be quick with it? Adrian dropped the sheet as soon as he was done writing the names of people who were clearly suspects. His father had been told about the thing going on and had told him not to worry too much. The person was going to be caught; they could not hide behind doors forever. If he lets Phoebe out and acts like he has gotten the man's threat and does not care about it, is the man going to come after Phoebe faster now? He groaned and tossed the sheets, which floated and shattered around the messy floor. Piles and liters of paper were scattered on the ground. Even though he had let Phoebe sleep in his room, she woke up and went
Ashford closed the door as soon as Adrian and Phoebe stepped inside. He held a box in his hand—the same box Phoebe had dropped earlier. Adrian helped Phoebe to a chair and tried to comfort her; she was breathing heavily, and tears threatened to fall. Her hands were trembling more than he had expected. His sister was terrified. Luna bent over Phoebe and held her hand. "Don’t worry, Phoebe. Nothing will happen to you." Phoebe slowly nodded in approval of what Luna had said, then she glanced around. "I lost the gift I brought for you; I can’t believe I lost it after spending hours on it. I'm so sorry, Luna." Ashford, who was standing nearby, handed the box to her. Phoebe flashed him a smile. Although she was trying to hide her fear behind that smile, he could see it cracking. She was just trying to appear strong. Ashford's brows furrowed; that man had done a lot lately. "How did he know you both were coming here?" Luna asked. "I don’t know," Adrian answered almost immediately. "We d
She stared at him innocently, as if nothing had happened. She wondered what he wanted to say to her. Was he going to scold her for still speaking with Ashford, whom he believed to be her ex-lover? She also wondered about his reaction when he discovered that she was mated to both of them. Ashford hadn't reacted much and had allowed her to do as she pleased, but he had made it clear that she couldn't reject him. Even though she had tried, he was determined not to let her go. She had never liked Adrian from the start because of the way her father had spoken about him, always saying good things about him and wishing he was her mate—which, as it turned out, he was. "Where is he from?" Adrian asked. "Who?" Luna replied. "Ashford," he answered. She stared at him blankly, with no specific place in mind. She didn't even know of any other werewolf packs apart from Cruster Toon and Lunar Crest. What could she tell him? She was at a loss for words as she looked at him. His eyebrows rose as
When Luna walked into the kitchen, all eyes turned to her. Phoebe was putting on an apron and helping Neon hold something. Phoebe was grinning from ear to ear as she spoke nonstop to him. Her father, on the other hand, was solely focused on what he was cooking. He smiled at her as she walked in, raised his hand, and pointed to her chair. "Can’t I help with something for once?" "No." Her father answered. "You have to sit and watch." Luna's lips pouted in frustration as she walked up to her seat and sat on it. Bartram flashed her a smile, ignoring the fact that she might scowl at him. She wanted to speak, but her focus shifted to Phoebe as she heard her speak to Neon. "Where are you from?" She asked. He smiled at her. "I am not really ready to share that yet; let’s keep on cooking, okay?" "Why?" "Why what?" "I thought you were Luna’s ex-lover, bro. It is not bad telling me where you are from." Phoebe persisted. "I am; Ashford is really strict about me telling anyone about it and
“Why are you on her bed?” Adrian repeated for the fifteenth time. “I can’t hear you.” Ashford said. “And who are you to tell me where to stay? This room belongs to me too, do you understand me?” Adrian frown grew wide. “You can’t stay on her bed and expect me not to complain about it, there are a lot of rooms for you to stay but you chose this one.” “That is because I should be getting married to her if only you didn’t show up. Stupid mate bond.” He laid back on the bed and picked up the book. He had dropped the book when Adrian showed up but seeing there was nothing for Adrian to say. He had to continue his book. “You have to get up,” Adrian said. Ashford looked at him from the corner of his eyes. “I don’t think so. I came here first, you should leave and i also have to keep on reading this book.” Adrian took in a deep breath, trying to stay calm. “What pack are you from? Heard you were the alpha.” Ashford eyes widened. “Luna told you that and you came to ask me?” “Yes, she c
