Bonita's POV
I do not know what is wrong with this guy. It looks like he is going crazy under the full moon. Perhaps the full moon affects his brain. Maybe I should run away. I know I cannot run any farther as the silver they injected into me is affecting me, and my wounds are not healing. I know I cannot run any further, but I also feel the bond between Victor Smith and me. The Moon Goddess has gone crazy. I have to agree with him. And I know he's shouting at her because he can be my dad. But I don't mind the age difference. However, I feel too weak to worry about having a second-chance mate. I need to seek help. I can not sit here watching him shout at the Moon Goddess while I am bleeding out. Everything seems so wrong. Today has been overwhelming for me. My head hurts. I can feel everything go black in front of me. I have to stay conscious. I cannot faint now.
"After you are done talking to whoever you are talking to, can you please help me? I agree that the Moon Goddess has gone crazy, but I am bleeding out here. I don't feel too well, and I don't know how much silver they have injected me with," I say.
"Sorry about my outburst. I know I must sound like a crazy man, but I do not know what else to do, as this is unacceptable to me. I do not know what to do with you. You are way too young for me. Let me help you. I know you have a magical wolf, but I also know that you have not practiced your magic, as I guess your ex-mate did not like it," Victor says.
"No, he never let me, my wolf, practice her magic. He was ashamed of me because I was different. Besides, his mother and father did not like me. No one wanted me to use my magic in the pack. I only have one friend in the pack, the Beta Morris. However, he could not help me. Nobody could help me in that pack," I say, my voice filled with pain. Victor comes and sits beside me. He takes my hand, and I can feel like I want to vomit after a while. I can feel the poison inside of me, leaving my body through my wounds. My wolf starts to feel much stronger. The poison inside of me is coming out through my wounds, and it is burning like hell. But I have to go through this, and I know it, and I cannot show any weakness, not in front of this man! I bet he already thinks that I am useless and weak. I cannot allow him to feel that way about me, as this is the only way I can prove to him I am not a weak she-wolf, and it was only the betrayal of my mate and the poison in my body that made me seem weak.
"I know it is hurting. It is the only way I can purify you from the poison inside of you. I have to push it through your veins and your wounds. It's the only way it's going to leave your body. I know that you are hurting. However, as soon as all the poison is out of your body, you will feel much better. I must say, I am amazed that you are not screaming. You are tougher than I thought. Perhaps you are not a lost case after all. Maybe there is a chance that we can become mates. We will talk about it later. You are not in the mood to talk about it after being betrayed. However, you have to forget about my nephew. You are my mate, and you are mine now. I am not a big fan of my nephews. So, let's say we become made so that both of us can get revenge on him. We know you are his only true mate, and he only took your sister to please his parents and pack. I do not believe in love. I do not believe in the mate bond, but my wolf does. We are for mutual attraction, which is supposed to be the mate bond. However, I am willing to agree with you. You become my mate, lover, and mother to my pups. I will look after you for the rest of our lives. We are not allowed to have other lovers. I don't want to feel the pain of the so-called mate bond. There cannot be any love between us because I do not believe in love. I never had a mate, and I'm willing to take this one chance on you. Besides, I have to get rid of Sandy. She's getting on my nerves. We will be helping each other. Sandy is a she-wolf in my pack, and I agreed with her. If I had not found my mate before the age of forty, she would have become a Luna. I want to get out of that agreement. And you want revenge on your ex-mate, as do I, so that we will be helping each other, and I might get an heir that can become Alpha after me," Victor says.
"I have nothing to lose. It is not like I'm going to fall in love again. I know the pain of betrayal. It is worse than the pain of these wounds. I agree to become your Luna, but the first time you cheat and I have to feel that burning pain of betrayal inside me again, I will rip your balls out and feed them to you," I say.
"Feisty, I like it. You should be engaging in bed. However, there is one thing that you need to know, my little one: I am not your ex-mate. I am a man of my word. We will go back to the pack after you are healed. We will seal our bond tonight. I don't want you to have a chance to overthink this and decide I am too old for you," Victor says. I look up at him for the first time. He is handsome and much more attractive than his nephew, Oscar.
"There is one thing you need to know about me, then. Mate, I am not someone you play with, and I also do not go back on my word. I want you to train me to fight and use my magic. I want to become strong, and I want to kill Oscar and my sister," I say.
Victor's POVMy pack will be very excited that I finally got my Luna. Nobody wanted Sandy to become the Luna. Antonio told me that in so many words. I can't wait to see my brother Christopher and his wife, Andrea, suffer when their precious little boy realizes he has lost his mate to another wolf. I can't wait for them to discover I am her mate. Ohh, what joy that will give me. I look at my mate sitting under the full moon, and her wounds heal fast. At first, I thought she was weak. Now I see it was because she was in pain that she looked weak. She's not weak. She is a strong she-wolf. She surprised me. I hear my nephew and his pack approaching. I know he won't dare to come close to my pack grounds. He's too much of a coward unless he is hard up to find his mate. Perhaps he thinks that I am my warriors are not near her. I mind-link my warriors to come to the border. I want to ensure he does not have the upper hand in numbers, although my magic is strong. I cannot hold all of them bac
Oscar's POVDid I make the right choice to leave my mate for her sister? I don't know if I made the correct mistake. Looking at her, standing next to Victor, makes me furious. We have hardly broken our bond, and she already has another mate. How can this be the Moon Goddess will never allow it? How can she be the mate of my uncle and me simultaneously? I do not believe a word that my uncle is saying. We might have broken our bonds, but she is still my only mate. Camilla is my lover but not my mate. I know that. I am only having an affair with Camilla to keep my pack and my parents happy. They all want me to have a normal she-wolf as a Luna. I always knew my mate was Bonita, the only one I genuinely loved. I thought if I killed her, my feelings for her would disappear. While making love to Camilla, I realized that my feelings for Bonita can never go away, not even in death, and her death might make me lose control of my wolf. My wolf is already angry because he did not want a magical w
Bonita's POVI have never acted this brave in my life. I had the guts to confront my ex-mate. Usually, I would have ignored him and never talked back to him. Perhaps it was because I was in love with him. I do not know. Now that our bond is gone, I see how about a coward Oscar is. I always thought he was brave and fierce, and he would take on his uncle if he had the chance. He was even too afraid to attack me at my full power. He is supposed to be an Alpha. Before I became his Luna, I was only an omega in the pack. I do not understand why he is afraid of me. Am I stronger than him? Is he fearful of my unique wolf?They never wanted me to fight or train because they knew I would become stronger than the Alpha if I trained my wolf. I know now for a fact that the Alpha and the members of the Black Raven Pack are afraid of me. I smile as I look at them run away. The Black Raven Pack's warriors are cowards, except for my only friend, Morris. Your pack is only as strong as its Alpha. "I wi
Bonita's POV I walk over to the bed and touch the beautiful dress. I have never had a gorgeous dress like this before and will always cherish this moment. I cannot stop thinking about what happened to me tonight. I thought I was going to die. And here I am, becoming a Luna of another pack. Everything happened so fast. One moment, my mate rejected and almost killed me, and the next moment, I was a Luna again. The Moon Goddess is busy playing tricks on me. I do not understand what I have done to deserve all this myth in my life right now. However, I am not going to worry about it. I can understand why Victor talked to the Moon Goddess earlier. She's playing tricks on us. I know he feels that he is too old to be my mate. However, I do not think so. He looks better than his nephew. Victor seems young for his age. If I was not afraid to get hurt again, and Victor wanted a young mate like me, I would have fallen in love with him. I cannot think about love right now because Victor does not w
Victor's POVWell, that takes care of Sandy. I am tired of her. She is such a crybaby. How can I even think about having Sandy as my mate when I have a young, beautiful mate like Bonita? His golden blonde hair and blue eyes beg to be loved. However, I do not believe in love, and I will never believe in love. I think that two wolves are attracted to each other because of the stupid Moon Goddess. I know I should not call her silly and that she's a goddess. But seriously, she has been messing with me my whole life. First, she didn't give me a mate. And now she gave me a child for a mate. She must think she is hilarious. Not that I am complaining about my mate. She is beautiful, and I think she will be very entertaining in bed. However, I hope that she is mature enough to be my Luna. I am already dressed for the ceremony, and we are all waiting for my Luna. I have seen my men help Sandy back and out of our grounds. Sandy screams as she walks past me, escorted by my men. I know she is des
Oscar's POVCamilla and I are so busy in my room when the pain hits me like never before. I have never felt anything like this before. I do not know what is wrong with me. I push Camilla off me. She is not my mate. My mate is with another. She is in bed with my uncle. I'm going to kill Victor. The pain is unbearable. I have to shift, and I have to run. "What the hell is wrong with you? Why are you pushing me away again? I thought that we had agreed to stay mates. We are doing it for the Black Raven Pack," Camilla asks as she falls off the bed and lands hard on the floor. We have agreed to become mates, and I will make her my Luna, but she is not my fated mate, and I am feeling the pain of my mate's betrayal. "We can become mates, but we are not fated mates. I have abandoned my mate. Now she's in bed with someone else, with my uncle. I cannot stand this pain! It is unbearable. Never in my life have I felt pain like this. That bitch and her new Alpha will pay! I can hardly breathe. Ge
Sandy's POV I look at the young wolf walking my way. Oh, great. I am on a pack's grounds, and now they will rip me apart because I am a rogue. As the young wolf comes closer, I smell the scent of sandalwood in my nose. Oh no, this cannot be. I may be the lover of an alpha who only used me for sex, but I am no cradle robber. "You smell like roses and lilies. What the fuck? How old are you? I swear the moon goddess has gone crazy for giving me a grandma as a second-change mate! Nope, this is ridiculous. What are you doing on my grounds, grandma? I swear I will rip you to pieces," The young wolf says, and as soon as he opens his mouth, I know he is Victor's cousin, Oscar. We have never met because although I was Victor's lover, I was always treated as an Omega in the Pack and was not allowed to attend meetings. He goes behind the bushes and shifts into his human form. He even looks younger than his wolf. "Shut up, baby face. Do you think I want to be the mate of a baby? I am no cradl
Oscar's POV I am even more furious at my uncle than I was before. Vincent is responsible for me having an old mate. I do not know what my family will say about the new development in my life. Arrabella, my sister, thinks she is better than anyone, although she has not met her mate yet. I know she wants to take my place as the alpha and hopes I will get into a fight with our uncle. I know she hopes I die. My family is not very loving. They want what is best for the pack. So they say, but I believe each has an agenda. I am not planning to get murdered like my grandparents, so I do not trust my sister. We're always at each other's throats. I know she will have this as another excuse for why she should be the alpha and not me. I don't know what to do. The only ones I can talk to are my parents. I am their favorite. My parents are very traditional, and they believe that an alpha should be a male. As we walk to my office, I realize I do not even know my new mate's name! Now that I see her
