. I parked my car outside Ryan's mansion and hopped out of it. Warriors outside the mansion looked at me shockingly as I came here driving my own car. "I imagine what would be Ryan's reaction when he came to know that I came here. I'm sure he must have thought I would cry and wait for him but to his dismay he married a rebellious Queen not a sympathy queen" I smirked and walked towards the mansion while looking around, impressed at how Ryan turned this entire pack condition. I remember Mom told me that the previous Alpha of this pack destroyed this place, but Ryan changed and improved everything after becoming Alpha. "Our mate is so good... Most of Alpha refused to take the pack of low quality with poor members and facility, but he did magic. Not only did he choose to become the Alpha of this pack, but he also improved things here. He did an impressive job in handling everything." Anika started praising him. "I agree with you. He indeed changed everything. I read an article about this pack." I said and stopped at the door, noticing every small detail of his pack. "What article?" Anika asked. I rolled my eyes, knowing she was asking me this question only to make me praise Ryan and say something good about him. "Please say," Anika requested. "His pack is now among the most powerful packs in both strength and financially", I replied and walked inside the mansion, waiting for someone to notice me... By any maid or warrior, and they did notice me but ignored me as if I didn't exist. "They are rude", Anika snarled, not liking how they are showing disrespect towards us. "Just like their Alpha", I replied and walked towards the hall while looking around for Ryan. He is the only one whom I know. "He is not here" She muttered in a low tone. "Huh?" "If he was here, then I would've sensed him, Monika", she replied. I scoffed and shook my head at the absurd behaviour of that man. "At least he should've been here to welcome me or asked anyone to guide me in this unknown place" I snarled and went near a maid. "Hello" Before I could have said anything further she ignored me on my face and walked away, startling me with her behaviour. I tightened my fist to control my anger. "Your Highness" I turned and looked at the girl in her twenties who gave me a voice. I smiled seeing her beautiful smile and also because someone finally noticed me. "Hello", I greeted her with a smile. "Are you looking for something?" She asked, giving me a mischievous smile. "I don't know why I do not have a good feeling with her," I thought, then shook my head, realising I was again overthinking. "Yes... I'm looking for Alpha Ryan," I said despite knowing Ryan is not here. "Alpha Ryan has to go out for some urgent work." She informed me. I nodded and passed her a smile, unable to understand what to say next. "I know he should be here with you on your first day, but don't worry, he will arrive soon. Till then, let me take you to the room which Luna mother assigned for you", I scrunched my eyebrow, hearing her. "What does she mean by 'the room Luna mother assigned for you?' Aren't we going to stay with Ryan?" Anika asked as if I knew everything. "You can wait for Ryan over there," The sweet girl suggested. I nodded and refused to ask anything from her but with Ryan after his arrival. "That would be great", I replied. She smiled and took me towards the elevator and then pressed the third-floor button with the initial 'S'. After a minute, we reached the third floor and walked out of the elevator. "What the?" I grunted under my breath when I read the board at the entrance of the corridor with various rooms. "Servant floor", I read in disbelief, then looked at the girl who brought me here. She tightened her lips after seeing my reaction. "What made you think that you could marry Alpha Ryan and take the place of our precious Luna Jenny's place?" She snarled. I look at her in bewilderment. "Jenny... Our daughter?" Anika asked. "I don't know," I grunted and looked at the girl who was smiling like a fool, thinking she insulted me. "You work here, Right?" I asked. "Yes. So what? No, you're going to complain about me to Alpha Ryan that I insulted you by bringing you to the Servant floor," She mocked me. I chuckle seeing how foolish someone can behave. "You didn't insult me by bringing me here. It's a servant floor where every hard working maid stays. Nothing is insulting about it" Her smile withered with my response. "You also stay here. Do you feel insulted or proud that you work for Alpha?" I asked. She gritted her teeth, stormed her feet like a kid then walked away. I chuckled and shook my head, seeing childish behaviour. "You taught her a good lesson" I turned and found a lady in her mid-forties, looking at me with a genuine smile. "My daughter is smarter than her and behaves maturely." I said and rolled my eyes. She laughed and walked towards me. "Ryan said it right," she said, standing in front of me. "You would be a perfect mate for him" She muttered. "Did he really say that, or is this another trap for me?" I asked Anika, who was equally shocked after hearing Lady. "I think you're right. It's another trap... there is no way Ryan would call us perfect, mate," Anika replied. Our conversation got interrupted when that lady held my chin gently. "I must say Alpha Ryan's choice is not that bad" She praised me and then kept her hand on my head like a mother, bringing a smile to my face. "Thank you," I replied. "It's not a trap, Anika. The way she kept her hand on my head shows her kind nature" I mindlink my wolf. "Sorry from her side and from the pack members who didn't welcome you" She said. I passed her a smile and shook my head. "You don't need to say sorry on anyone's behalf" "I hope you understand. It's not easy for anyone to accept you as Ryan's mate or Luna of this pack. Jenny was special and close to everyone. They loved her so much that they refused to give her place to anyone else." Before she continued further, I interrupted her. "I'm sorry... I shouldn't interrupt you but I'm not getting about whom you're talking… Jenny.. My daughter?" I asked. "What? No.. and wait... Is Alpha's and your daughter's name also Jenny?" She asked shockingly. "Yeah... Whose else name is Jenny?" I asked. "Alpha Ryan's ex-mate," She said, snatching the world beneath me. "Huh?" "Her name was also Jenny" Tears welled up in her eyes while talking about Ryan's ex-mate. "Before I was talking about her only. No one can replace her in Pack members' hearts. Neither can you replace Jenny in Ryan's life. He loves her with everything." She said, dropping one after another bombshell on me. .Monika Pov's .I was waiting for Ryan downstairs, in the hall, fidgeting with my fingers and tapping my foot anxiously. My heart was beating at a slower speed. Despite taking the tablets, I wasn't able to calm down. It was like nothing worked when it came to my feelings towards him. "Moon" I closed my eyes when I heard Ryan calling me. He finally showed up after half an hour. I took a deep breath and opened my eyes before turning my head to look at him. He just came outside after taking a shower and wearing clothes. He didn't even dry his hair, which made his shirt also get wet, making him look so hot. "What am I thinking?" I grunted and cursed myself for adoring him even in this situation. Tears welled up in my eyes as my fake strong persona started to fade when he looked at me with those eyes which always deceive me into believing he cares for me.He rushed towards me and knelt in front of me. He kept his one hand over my hand and the other on my cheek, caressing it with his thum
Monika Pov's .I picked up the file from the ground and arranged the marriage papers. I looked at them and took a deep breath before getting up. I walked out of my room and went to Ryan's room. I took the elevator. I knew I was panicking from inside. My anxious soul knew this was the ending of my beautiful life."You didn't do right, Ryan," I said, gritting my teeth and tapping my foot. I walked out of the elevator and I only took a few steps when a hand stopped me from going towards Ryan's room. I raised my head and looked at the person who might become the target of my anger if he didn't move aside."What is this behaviour, Patrick?" I growled. He bowed his head."I'm sorry, Luna, but you can't meet Alpha, " he said in a low tone. I encircled my hands around my chest and raised my eyebrow."Now you will dare to stop me" I asked, clenching my jaw."I'm sorry, Luna. I didn't mean to disrespect you. It's just Alpha is not in good condition," He said, making me lose my composure. My
Monika Pov's .I read that message again and again, then looked outside. It was already dark. It means I have only a few hours before my daughter comes here. I sat on the bed, breathing heavily. I was panicking with the thought of my daughter seeing me in pain, or seeing the distance between her father and me. She will break down if she gets to know how her father still loves his ex, not me. I kept my hand on my chest, feeling like everything was slipping from my hand like sand. "What should I do now?" I thought and took out the tablet for my panic attack from the side drawer. I took them all in one go. I was shivering and breathing heavily, but at the same time, I was sweating. "I-- I need to talk to Ryan. I will not let my and Ryan's differences come in front of our daughter.Her little heart will get broken. No... I need to pretend everything is fine in front of her. I can't lose it like this... I can't," I mumbled to myself and took a deep breath to calm myself. Thankfully, af
Monika Pov's .I was looking at him, dumbfounded, while he was staring at me with a smile on his lips until my eyes gave up and started shedding tears."Cupcake," he called me with a nickname which I'm sure must belong to his ex. I pushed him away and hopped out of bed, fuming in anger, and my heart was shedding tears of blood."What happened?" He asked, wondering why his Jenny pushed him suddenly. He got down from the other side of the bed and came near me. I was looking at him with teary eyes and an empty mind like a stupid person. He raised his hand to hold my hand but I moved back and shook my head."Jenny," my heart was twitching in pain every time he called me Jenny. He tried to hold my hand."Don't touch me" I shouted and pushed him away. His eyes widened, and his expression turned into pain."At least tell me what I did that upset you?" He asked. I grunted and turned my face in another direction, feeling humiliated and hating myself for trusting someone again. I shouldn't hav
Monika Pov's . I was looking at myself in the mirror. Ryan has arranged a special dinner for us at his favourite place. It was his birthday, but he was giving me a surprise, saying he wanted to make the night special for both of us. I blushed remembering how he expressed his desire with his words. "He is going to get a hard bone after seeing us in this dress", I muttered and bit my lower lip, seeing my reflection in the mirror. I wore a red dress which showed my curve so perfectly with a little deep cleavage and a slit at the side. I put on light make-up with dark red lipstick, and curled my hair from below. He is going to get crazy today. I picked the long black jacket and wore it to cover my dress as I wanted to reveal my look after we reached the destination. Before that, I wanted him to stay in suspense. "What the" I cursed when my eyes went to the clock, realising I'm half an hour late from the time that Ryan gave me. Surprisingly, he didn't even come to check on me or to pi
Monika Pov's . Ryan and I were sitting near the window. He was looking at the Moon while I was staring at him. Thanks to the Moon Goddess for giving me a mate like him. I turned my head and looked at the clock, then looked back at Ryan. "Happy birthday, love" I said. He looked at me as if he had come out of his thoughts, then forced a smile on his lips. "Did you say something?" He asked. I narrowed my eyes and then hit his arms. "I said happy birthday," I groaned. He laughed and pinched my nose. "What a unique way of wishing someone" he chuckled and pulled me into his lap. "Where were you lost that you didn't even hear me?" I pouted. He kissed my cheek, then my lips. "No matter where I am or what my thoughts are. You always pull me towards you" he said, making me blush. "No one can win from you in words" I said and turned to look at him. I kept my hand on his cheek and kissed his lips. He smiled and responded. "Remember the promise you made to me?" He asked. I t
