Bernardo It was supposed to be temporary and my father was going to make a new law that allows wolves to freely mate with vampires but none of that happened because freaking Sean set them up and they passed away. His parents would have gotten back together. The triplets would have grown up together with their parents who loved each other. My father would have ruled for many more years. Maybe, just maybe I would have gotten the chance to see the world and take up the role of king at an adult age, not when I was a freaking child. I lost my childhood. The triplet lost their parents and they grew up apart. My woman suffered the most. She grew up thinking she had no family. She grew up in the orphanage and also had a hard time in the palace. All of which wouldn’t have happened if that freak hadn’t been jealous and hateful. He planted the seed in Theo right from when he was a child. He turned his child into a villain. Theo didn’t just grow up and decide he wanted to be king. No, befo
Harlyn “I still don’t like that you are leaving.” I let out the next morning as Helaine got ready for her flight. She stopped fixing her shirt and looked at me. I smiled. Yeah, I was sad but I didn’t want to let the sadness spoil my last few hours with my sister. “Come here.” She said and opened her arms. I smiled again and went to hug her. She felt so familiar. “I will be back and I promise I won’t run away once I come back.” She promised me. I nodded. I thought of going with her, I still wanted to meet our relatives who live on the other side of the world but now wasn’t a good time. Luna lessons, healer lessons, and Bernardo might need me to do something for him. Plus, how can Luna leave her pack at a critical time? That wasn’t something any Luna would do and I am not about to be the first. “I will hold you to the promise. Come back soon,” I told her. She smiled and nodded when we pulled apart. Since she will be coming back to the Crimson Moon, she decided she wasn’t g
Harlyn “I will see you ladies soon,” Helaine said, I pouted in sadness. I mean, I prepared myself all through the night and the ride here for this moment but still, I felt sad. “See you soon,” Sophie said and hugged her. She beckoned me when they broke apart and I hugged her too. “I will miss you, my love.” She said, “Same, take care of yourself and call me once you land.” She nodded. “I will, Luna. See you soon.” She said, as much as I didn’t want to let her go, she needed to leave if she would be back early. I stood with Sophie and watched her get on the plane. It was hard but I couldn’t hold her back. “Let’s go.” Sophie said when Helaine was already in. It still took a moment but I nodded and turned away. I followed Sophie back into the car and my phone started ringing as soon as I got in. “Hillan?” I let out and took the call. “Hey, baby, I thought I saw you. I am at the airport.” Hillan said, I looked around but I couldn’t find him. the driver was about
HarlynI came to a stop in front of Bernardo’s office right before the door opened and someone was pushed out. “Hillan!” I called when I saw that it was Hillan. I rushed to his side and realized that he was bleeding.“Hillan, oh goddess, I am so sorry.” I said, trying to lift him. “Harlyn, get away from him right now.” Bernardo roared. I didn’t even realize he had come out of the office until he called my name. I turned to him and glared at him. He looked angry but his anger wasn’t about to make me do as he just said. Why would I leave my friend’s side after he punched him so hard that his face was bleeding? “Hillan, are you okay? I am so sorry.” I told Hillan, ignoring Bernardo. “I am fine, Luna, stay out of it.” I shook my head. I refuse to stay out of it. Bernardo had no right to hit him or push him out the way he did. “I said get away from that traitor.” Bernardo yelled again. I looked at him and stood up. “Traitor? Have you lost your mind, Bernardo? Who the fuck are y
Harlyn “That’s not true,” I turned to Bernardo I said. “I am afraid to let you know that he isn’t who he claims to be. He is an enemy of the pack. He met with Theo and I have proof that he did. He can’t even lie or deny it.” Bernardo said, I could tell he wasn’t lying but I refused to just believe his words. I turned back to my savior “That’s not true right?” I asked him. He didn’t look away but didn’t say anything either. “Hillan? Did you really meet with Theo?” I asked him again. “I did,” He said and my heart sank. I refuse to believe it. Why would he do that when he knows just what Theo has done? I looked him in the eyes, hoping that he was lying but he wasn’t. “Why?” I asked him. I refuse to believe that he was bad. just because he met with Theo doesn’t make him a bad guy too and then it dawned on me. “Wait, is that why you rushed here? Is that the top secret that you wanted the alpha to hear first?” I asked him. He nodded. I didn’t even realize how scared
BernardoI watched Harlyn walking away after threatening to claw my eyes out if I did anything to Hillan. I felt like a fool. I felt stupid and I hated it. I just made a fool out of myself in front of my sisters, my best friend, Harry, and my mate. I felt stupid because I should have listened to Hillan first.I mean, I still don’t like him and still wanted to punch him in the face again but I realize now that I overreacted and fucking reacted too fast.I acted immediately when I saw him. I rushed to him and punched him in the face hard enough to burst his nose, I didn’t even give him time to speak and now, I feel like a fool because everyone including my youngest sister thinks I was wrong.“You guys go talk things out and you have to go speak to Luna after that, you made her mad.” My older sister said. I nodded and turned to Hillan. I let out a sigh and beckoned him to follow me to my temporary office. He followed behind me, obviously still alert after what I did to him. He admitted
Bernardo “I don’t get it.” “Yeah, I didn’t get it.”“But you met with him. how did you do it?” I asked him. “I have my ways. I am a businessman, remember? Plus, I just have to make up a beef with you and he believed me. I told you that he’s uneducated. Super dumb and gullible yet he acts like he knows it all.” I could tell by the way he looked when he spoke about Theo that he truly felt disgusted by him and that made what he was telling me more believable even though I still couldn’t understand why Theo would want any of that.“So, you are telling me that the reason he wants to take my kingdom is because he wants to send us back in time?” Hillan nodded. “Yes, he believes that as the ruler of the biggest pack in the world. He can influence the council and make them do whatever he wants.” I scoffed. “The council?” I questioned. council? Every pack existed on its own now. There was no council unless within the various packs.“Yeah, that’s what he said. I tried to explain to him
Bernardo “Are you going to relay everything I told you to that guy?” He asked, I knew he was referring to Damien and I nodded. “Yes, he is my best friend and my right-hand man.” I replied. He didn’t look convinced. “Why?” I asked him. “Do you trust him?” He asked and I laughed. I had to laugh. Why would he ask such a question? If I don’t trust Damien then who would I trust in the whole world? Damien is the last person who would ever turn against me. Damien is to me what the former Zeta had been to my father. He would give up everything including his life to protect him. “Yes, I trust him. He's my best friend and has been helping a lot.” I told Hillan. It made me angry to think that he doubted my best friend’s loyalty and then it dawned on me that that’s the same thing I did to Harlyn. I doubted Hillan who she considered a good friend. I realized how she must have felt and it made me sad. “I am sorry,” I blurted out. I know I said that an alpha king doesn’t apol
