Hello. I will try to update frequently but there will be no updates on Fridays. Thank you for your understanding.
It took three days for me to accept my current reality. My so-called ‘mate’ was avoiding me. He was blatantly avoiding me and it confused me. Did he lie? Did my wolf imagine the bond with him? What exactly was going on? Why did I never see him and why did he refuse to mark me?After Jackson, I did not expect much from a ‘mate’ but Valens was my true mate which made my situation all the more confusing. Was he out cheating on me? Could he even cheat on me when we were technically not together? I didn’t know what to think and with my confusion came a budding fear. Fear of the unknown. Fear of a reopening of old wounds.‘He may just be busy since we only just got here,’ Asia tried to rationalize but even she didn’t sound convinced. ‘There must be a lot of work for him to complete,’ she added.“I’m supposed to be his Luna,” I mumbled into the empty room. “If he is busy, then I should be too.”Perhaps he didn’t trust me to be a good Luna. I bit my lips, wondering if he knew of my past in Bl
In my dream, a faceless woman wagged a finger in my face as she yelled at me. ‘You’re nothing but bad luck! You’re a witch! An evil woman!’ She was saying as I crouched down to avoid her attacks.‘Chantelle, you have to wake up,’ a voice said to me but rather than wake up from the nightmare, I found myself drowning in it. “J – Jackson, please,” I turned, reaching my hand out to my mate but it wasn’t Jackson I saw. It was the stern face of the Cursed Alpha, looking down at me with a sneer.“Who is Jackson?” He asked in a rough tone. A warm hand grasped my outstretched one and I woke with a gasp.The sheets underneath me were soaked with sweat. Tears spilt from my eyes into my ears. Valens was hovering above me, my hand in his and a questioning expression on his face. I yanked my hand out of his as I sat up, my mouth hanging open and letting out soft pants.“What were you dreaming about?” He asked as a rough thumb wiped the tears still falling from my eyes.“Why are you here?” I choked
“Valencia,” Valens also growled at the woman staring me down.“Stay out of this!” She hissed at him as she stalked forward. “Where were you hiding? Where did you hide!?” She attempted to poke me but Valens grabbed her hand to stop her. “Leave me alone!” She screamed. “This is between me and this – this –““I – Do we know each other?” I asked, confused at her anger. Of course, I knew for certain that I had never met this woman in my life so why was she so angry at me!? “How could we possibly know each other?” She screamed and for the first time, I noticed tears glistening in her eyes. “Where did you hide!?”“Cia, I swear to the goddess.” Valens pinched the bridge of his nose as he blocked me from the woman glaring at me as if she would breathe fire at any moment. In a second, he doubled over as she sucker-punched him.“This way.” Damita grabbed my hand. “Let’s show you to your room.” She took my hand and dragged me away.“B – But Valens,” I gestured at my mate who was getting beat u
VALENSThe name Jackson kept ringing in my head. I could not forget how my mate had cried and reached out for him. I didn’t know if he had been the source of her comfort in the dream or if he had been the one causing tears to roll down her cheeks.“Is there a problem, Alpha?” Lucian asked as I drummed a finger on my desk. We would be leaving in a short while so I had to put some things together in Redville before leaving.“Jackson. Jackson. Who the hell is Jackson?” I exploded, irritation tightening my skin.“Are you talking about the Alpha of Blood Moon pack?” He responded and I frowned.Blood Moon pack.Was that what that man was called? I never paid much attention to the Alpha of Blood Moon pack as I’d been too busy searching for my mate but when I thought of his face as white as a sheet of paper, my nostrils flared and my wolf snarled.“Find out his relationship with my mate,” I instructed Lucian who raised a brow in surprise.“Isn’t it better to ask the Luna about that?” He asked
My confusion escalated to anger as my mood soured. Resentment built in my chest and I flopped face-first into bed. What the hell was wrong with this man? If he didn’t want me, he could reject me!Ignoring the way my heart skipped a beat and my wolf whimpered at the thought of another rejection, I repeatedly punched the mattress to vent my frustration. Why did he make me feel so pathetic? When my anger turned to tears and my hand ached from punching the mattress, I got out of bed with a feeling of emptiness spreading inside me. I pulled on my clothes like a person without any reason to live. I kept thinking, ‘What do I do now?’ If he did not want me, he’d have rejected me by now but I was his curse breaker and I also had his child in my belly. Was that why he was keeping me around? I needed to hear his reason as doubt ate at me so I decided to find him.“Luna.” I came face to face with Lucian as soon as I opened the door.“Oh, hello.” The Beta was a quiet man with an intimidating buil
JACKSON“What do I do?” I pinched the bridge of my nose, stiffening my legs to stop them from bouncing up and down.“Let me speak to Thelma. She should be able to speak to her mate for you,” my mother said.“There’s no need for that.” It was no secret that Alpha Park cared for nothing and no one, including his mate. It was still a mystery why he took in a second mate and her child when everyone knew he was still hung up on his first mate. “I contacted her already but he refused to listen to her.”It had been a week since Alpha Park pulled all his support for the pack. He didn’t even ease into it. He cut the plug at once and left us drained. No matter how much I tried to negotiate with him, he barely batted a lash. We now had projects hanging and investors unwilling to pitch in because of the sudden and suspicious move from Park. Alpha Park was a weird man but there was no denying his influence in the business world. Things were going south all because of him.“Why won’t he listen to T
I woke slowly. As my senses sharpened, I noticed the heat coming from behind me. It was cosy and comfortable in the cool morning so I shifted, pushing myself deeper into the sweet warmth. I noticed the arm around me when it tightened as I burrowed into the warmth. Then I heard a groan in my ear and my eyes flew open.My face heated up when I realized I’d been digging into Valens’ arms. I’d all but merged my body with his and could feel the contour of his body. I could also feel a thickening erection pressed behind me. A dizzying sensation washed over me and a warm fire started in my guts.‘Don’t think too much of this. It’s a natural reaction and probably has nothing to do with you,’ I told myself when I started to feel giddy.Despite this, my guts still tightened and my body heated. Then I caught myself rocking against his erection and froze, mortified to death. How would I ever face him if he woke up to me seemingly trying to seduce him after he drew the line?Annoyed with myself an
“Are you okay?” Dami turned to me with wide eyes while Aysel smacked Thomas. My mate narrowed his gaze and everyone crowded around me as if I was the one who glided into the dining hall.“N – No, I am not – I am not okay.” I wanted to scream but a bit of numbness spread over me, holding my tongue. I touched my tightened throat as a sudden chill hit my core. My breath hitched when Thomas – the floater – came closer to peer at me. I grabbed the first solid thing I could reach and it ended up being my mate’s thigh.“All of you, back off.” I heard Valens’ low growl from a distant part of my mind. It made me flinch and the numbness spreading through me stopped.“I’m not dreaming. I’m not – He really did –“ My fingers dug into Valens’ thigh.“You are not.” A rough hand enveloped mine.“I’m not dreaming. He really did – Oh goddess, he’s a witch!” I screamed, pointing a shaky finger at Thomas.My eyes scanned across the room as my chest tightened. Everyone was avoiding my gaze. My mind raced
