[ Gemma ]

“I don’t think it’s fair that I live with you under the same roof, Rowan. We are not mates and you told a big lie to your Alpha. What if he’ll find out? I am not worried about myself but you’d be in trouble.” I played with my food and shared my dilemma with Rowan.

“We can be friends, Gemma. Axel is a psychopath just like our father and he needs to be replaced. He isn’t good for the pack and I’ll be needing your help. I have seen your strength. Fatal wounds couldn’t kill you and your real identity, it should be kept hidden until we find a safe place for you.” He said.

After the revelation about his mate who was dead, I felt it was wrong to live with a man, pretending to be mates. This lie would not last long. Sooner or later, we’ll be expected to behave like mates and Sadie will never allow another man to be with us.

She still yearns for Adonis, our cruel mate.

“How did your mate die?” I asked after a momentary pause and his whole posture stiffened.

“Let’s finish the dinner and then I will show your room.” He said, obviously dodging my question.

“I am sorry, I shouldn’t have asked you about her. I know it’s hard to talk about a past which only reminds us of pain. I don’t want to remember my past as well.” I said with an ache in my heart.

I had given everything to Adonis. My happiness had no bounds when I found out that Alpha Adonis was my mate. I devoted myself to him and our pack but I only received his coldness in return. He treated me like any other pack member when we were alone. He was with me only for his wolf and for his Alpha position. He couldn’t rule without a Luna.

“I received a news about him.” Rowan spoke and I lifted up my face.

He was referring to Adonis.

Suddenly, my heart began to thump loudly with fear. Maybe he was looking for me. He wanted to kill me with his bare hands.

“Will he find out about me?” I asked, my voice came out like a broken whisper.

The wounds on my body were healed but the scars are imprinted on my heart, soul and mind forever. He snatched my only source of my happiness from me; our baby. He believed the lies they fed him.

“I don’t think so but he is sending delegation to other packs to turn them in his favour. He has sensed Alpha Axel’s intentions. Soon, my half-brother will be invading Blue Moon Pack. We’re growing in power. Defeating Blue Moon Pack isn’t a big challenge anymore.” He replied.

My stomach twisted. My mother is still there and a handful of people who cared about me.

“My mother is still there and I am worried about her. I don’t know what are they doing to her. We have endured humiliation for being the family of a traitor until I became the Luna and now, they labelled me as a traitor too.” I shook my head and wiped my freshly formed tears.

“Do you want me to do something for her? I can arrange an escape for her if you want.” He asked me with worry itched on his handsome face.

“No, you will be caught because the security system is too tight there. I have personally designed it. You or your helpers will be caught.” I declined his help.

“I am wondering why your mother gave a false testimony. She must know what is the punishment for a traitor, still she chose to side with them.’ He said.

My heart pained when I thought about it. I only cared and loved for two people and they both betrayed me in the worst way.

“Tomorrow, you will be told to show your skills in fighting. Your body isn’t healed completely so I will think of an excuse to save you from the death ring. The female wolves will try to kill you, it is the only way to test strength in this pack.” He added once we were done with the dinner.

“And if I lose, will I be killed?” I asked.

“No, they won’t kill you since you are my mate.” He blurted and my heart skipped a beat, “I mean they believe we are mates. So, your life will be spared but your rank will be determined. Being an omega or the Luna’s personal helper is the least if not killed.” He told me.

I chuckled and shook my head.

“What is so funny in this?” He asked with a frown.

“Still not as humiliating as an unloved and ridiculed Luna. At least, I will know my low position, it’s easier in this way. You know what is the worst feeling? When you hold the highest rank yet the lowest rank people have more respect and reputation than you.” I reflected on my own predicament.

His face contoured with bitterness.

“He treated you worse than a slave yet you chose to be his mate for three long years? You aren’t an ordinary wolf, Gemma.” He asked me.

“Even I ask this question to myself, Rowan. I hopelessly loved him because he didn’t hit me or called me with different names. He was just cold and distant towards me. I thought I still had a hope with him but I guess, I inked my own destiny.” I accepted.

Silence fell in the air.

“Do not accept the Alpha’s challenge tomorrow, Gemma. I won’t be able to save you if you willingly decide to fight.” He said.

“I don’t want you to shield me either, Rowan. This is my rebirth and I want to write my own destiny. I have to learn to fight for life because one day, I want to see Adonis in the same pain that he inflicted upon me.” I said with bitterness.

His eyes flickered on me for a few seconds. We were standing very close to each other under the night sky.

“You are truly your father’s daughter. He was kind and compassionate. If it wasn’t for him, I and Axel wouldn’t be alive to see this day. I feel bad how he is misunderstood as a traitor in your pack.” He said tucking my hairs behind my ears.

I was left stunned.

Rowan was the boy whom my father saved from Adonis’ father during the war and as a result, he ended up pushing our alpha in the mouth of death. He was only saving two young boys.

“Yes, I am the reason your father died and your family suffered the aftermath, Gemma and it is my duty to protect you from your demons and help you to fight them.” He said caressing my hairs.

    [ Gemma ]“Rowan, this is not fair. I don’t think we can live like this. We haven’t talked to each other properly in last two days. You didn’t talk to me actually.” I said as my patience ran thin with Rowan.“We’re talking.” He responded flatly and I sighed in frustration.He shut me like this for last two days.He had been giving me cold shoulder ever since I agreed to attend the party at Crystal Pack. I had my reasons.He was walking beside me with a blank face. We had reached at the Crystal Pack. I had thought about it a lot and realized that Micheala was right. Danger will follow me everywhere, my whole life would be spent running and hiding.I’d not wish this life for my baby. I wanted him be born in a normal atmosphere and as long as I had Rowan’s back, hoped that he’d shield me until I will be ready to fight my own battles.I took a deep breath as my palms got sweaty due to nervousness. For the world, I died a traitor’s death but tonight, I was going to face all of them again.

    [ Gemma ]“How is our little boy doing?” Micheala asked me placing her hand on my belly but I quickly removed her hand.“Shh, we’re surrounded by many people. What if they saw you?” I eyed her looking around in the library where I was working.I took a desk job intentionally as physical training might harm my baby. Rowan was the one to request Alpha Axel to allow me to do the job which I did better which was a lie.I was trained in combat and also war skills.To prove myself a worthy mate and luna for Adonis, I did everything, learnt everything to please him and make him proud of me but it was an oblivious world for me.He never wanted me in the first place.“Are you thinking about him again, Gem?” Micheala, who took her seat in front me, raised her brow at me.“No, I am not. Why would I think about him?” I looked away from her and lied.“Come on, you suck at lying. I know you think about him all the time. Does he worth it? He must be living his best life since you are no longer his m

I vowed to destroy them the day I buried my father and my dead wolves.And now, my mate was living with them.What made me even more restless that she told me that she had found her second chance mate in him.

    [ Gemma ]“This is the first time you are going to see your baby, Gemma. Are you excited?” Micheal asked me as we waited for my turn in the waiting lounge of the hospital.“I am actually nervous, Mick. For two weeks I believed that my baby was dead but suddenly, my wolf told me that she was protecting our pup. Alpha Alex and this pack have no idea about my pregnancy and I don’t know how long I am going to hide it.” I spoke.Many emotions and thoughts whirlwind inside me.She placed her hand on my shoulder with a vibrant smile. “Don’t be scared. Rowan and I are here for you. What if they find out about your pup. Rowan is there, they’ll believe that he is the father and no one will question your character.” She said to encourage me.“I wish that everything goes smoothly but at the same time, I don’t want Rowan to feel obliged and accept this baby. It’s not easy for a male to accept another man’s baby and I don’t want to burden him.” I shook my head.“You haven’t known my brother in all

  • Alpha Adonis' Redemption   Chapter- [ 16 ]

    [ Adonis ]“Alpha, stop!”My beta Alex pulled me back but I shoved him and kept punching the bag to vent out my anger and frustration. Gemma’s words kept resonating in my ears since I returned from the Yellow Mist Pack. She showed me the mirror to reflect on my own mistakes that I might have made.“Alpha, you will end up hurting yourself.” Alex pulled the punching bag away this time.I growled and punched the wall instead, my knuckles bled since I hadn’t worn boxing gloves. I was punishing myself.Was she pregnant with my child?Did I seal my own child’s death sentence?I had been yearning for a baby, an heir who could take my place but there was another fact that I didn’t want Gemma to carry my child because somewhere I used to think that she might be like her father, a deceiver.But I spent two nights with her when I didn’t care about protection. I released my seeds inside her and there was strong possibility that she could pregnant but my ego and anger fogged my mind. I believed ot

    [ Gemma ]“How?”A single word, questioning gaze and painful memories resurfacing.That’s how I felt when we were alone, facing each other after two weeks. I wanted to shred him, my heart bled because I gave my everything to this heartless man who sealed my fate with endless pain and death.“Gemma, how did you end up here?” He asked me again. By his tone, I couldn’t decipher whether he was unhappy to see me or planning to kill me himself.“My fate brought me here. Yes, I am alive. I am sorry that you have to see me breathing.” I answered in an icy cold tone because the feelings I had for him faded as soon as those hellish moments danced in my memory.“I didn’t give you a death punishment.” He said in a defensive tone and it made my blood boil.“Really?” I laughed dryly.“Gemma, I could have killed you with my bare hands for the treason but I respected your contribution for my pack.” He said with an edge in his tone. “But you gave your beta the freedom to peel my skin with leashes, be
