HarlynThe man looked at me in confusion, I let go of his hand and forced a smile.“You look familiar, I think I have met you once before.” I lied, trying to hide my outburst. I couldn’t let him suspect a thing as he might make a run for it. Then I remembered that I could actually tell my mate what I wanted and why this man shouldn’t be let go if they wanted to find the bears that had been attacking our pack.“You should arrest him. He made the order.” I said in my head, Bernardo turned to look at me and I nodded.“What order?” “To kill the couple in their sleep. He knows where the bear hides. If you want to find those bears then don’t let this man leave this place.” I warned him.“That’s Damien’s father’s younger brother.” Bernardo revealed. Well, another uncle playing dirty games. Maybe it was an uncle's thing to want their family members gone. I wondered what his reasons were.“I saw what I saw. If you let him go, you won’t find those bears.” I told him and forced another smi
Bernardo On the ride back to the palace, I kept thinking about what Harlyn had told me. About Damien’s uncle. I spoke to Damien about it and he didn’t even look surprised that he would do something like that. We didn’t want to alert him that we knew what he was up to so we decided to have him followed in secret. In other words, had him bugged. Damien being a tech guru was a blessing to us all because we didn’t need to have him followed physically. Damien told me he would handle it. But I kept thinking about how Harlyn knew. She seemed to be able to tell bad from good people. She found out about who Sean really was before I did, she also found out who Gius really was. That’s his name. “How did you know?” I couldn’t resist asking. “I don’t know, I just did.” She responded, shrugging her shoulders. She knew a lot of people that regular people wouldn’t even know. She wasn’t an ordinary wolf and Grandma knew that’s why she did her best to keep her within the palace. I couldn’
HarlynI made my way towards the room I shared with Bernardo because I saw him get back on the helicopter and watched the helicopter leave again so I knew I would have the room to myself. It was past four am in the morning and I didn’t want to disturb my sister nor did I want her to see me crying.I closed the door behind me and dropped to the ground and let the tears flow. I felt sad and angry. We have been together for more than a month now and still, we couldn’t talk or disagree on something without fighting.This fight wasn’t my fault. I just wanted to know why Bernardo had bad thoughts about Hillan. He refused to let me know what he met by what he had thought and shut me out of his head. I hated that we were fighting but I couldn’t let him paint Hillan as a villain. No way did he think Hillan wasn’t showing his true self. The man literally saved me when he didn’t have to.He gave me a home even though it was only for a week. He was the first person that showed me kindness after
Harlyn “Fine, don’t tell me.” I said and he laughed. Nothing changed. I still felt just as comfortable with him as always. His tone didn’t sound different and he still had his sense of humor so Bernardo was out of his mind for thinking Hillan would be a villain.“Why did you call me?” He asked me.“Nothing, Bernardo is away and I just wanted to hear your voice. Do you have a problem with that?” I asked him.“Not at all. I am glad you can call me whenever you feel like it. Don’t worry, when I return, I will give you a present.” He promised.“I will wait. Take care of yourself and don’t find a woman while you are there.” I warned him. I didn’t want him to come back taken. I wanted him for my sister. He would be the perfect man for her.“Why? Do you have a woman ready for me?” “Hmm, what if I say yes?” I responded. There was a moment of silence.“I don’t want a woman right now. The only woman I want can’t be mine and I am okay with that. Don’t worry about me.” I don’t know why h
Harlyn“Are you sure that we are going in the right direction?” Harry asked, I resisted the urge to roll my eyes because it wasn’t the first time that he asked the question. He has asked more than three times already. Helaine warned me that he was good at playing around and I shouldn’t take his goofy questions seriously. “Harry, shut up and drive. The GPS says we are in the right direction. We should have left you at the palace with your mate.” Helaine scolded. It took a lot of effort to get Harry to separate from his mate. We initially wanted to surprise but he kept saying no to our offers so we had to spill why we wanted him to come with us. He finally agreed when he found out and offered to drive.We took one of the king’s cars. I didn’t bother to call him to ask for permission, if he has a problem with me using the car then he should take it up with me when I get back. I waited to hear from him or Damien before my siblings and I left the palace but neither one of them was back
Harlyn “It’s okay, Lyn, you were just a child then. You don’t have to force yourself to remember.” She assured me.“Yes, she’s right. We barely have any memories of our mom. If we didn’t find her diary and if our relatives didn’t show us her photos, we would probably have forgotten what she looked like too.” Harry added. We strolled together to the front door. Whoever has been taking care of the house must have been really dedicated because everywhere was clean and even looked like someone recently tended to it.“Here goes nothing.” Harry said and inserted the key into the front door. It worked at once and he pushed the huge door open.“Whoa.” Helaine said, we both looked at each other. Harry stepped in first before beckoning us to do the same. The first thing we noticed was the huge family frame on the wall of the entrance. “Our mom and dad.” Helaine whispered. We were still holding hands. I looked at my mom. I have seen her from the photo Helaine had shown me but she looked m
Harlyn “What do you think happened to them?” Helaine asked, for the first time since we met yesterday, she sounded sad and emotional. I could feel myself tearing up too just looking at the room my father had set up over twenty years ago. Frozen in time. It was an emotional sight to behold because it just showed that my parents wanted our family to be together but they couldn’t stay together for reasons that we still have no idea about.Seeing photos of me from when I was literally a baby, knowing that I once knew the love of my father and once had a mother who constantly thought of me but couldn’t be with me made me teary.“Whatever happened, they clearly hated being away from each other.” Harry responded. I wish we would be able to find a clue, anything that would lead us to know what happened and why it all happened. I don’t know but I couldn’t stop the feeling that everything is connected somehow, the reason our parents separated, the reason my Dad and Bernardo’s father were k
Harlyn“What did you find?” I asked when I got to the room but I didn’t see her or even Harry. “We are in here.” Helaine called out from within the photo room. I entered and looked around only to find that there was a hidden door. “What’s this place?” I asked when I got in. Helaine had her phone light on but the place was still relatively dark so I turned on my touch too.“A secret room.” Helaine said. I already knew it was a secret room but I wondered why there was a secret room inside the photo room of all places.“How did you open it?” I questioned. Harry was too busy looking around so I only had Helaine to answer my question. “I moved the big portrait and saw a push sign. I pushed and viola.” She explained.“I found something.” Harry said. We both looked at him. He waved something at us.“What’s that?” I asked and walked towards him. “A recorder. Not just that. There’s a bunch of papers in here too. Plus, that safe over there, I think there’s something in it. I will o
