BernardoI wasn’t getting through to her and it was driving me crazy. I had enough time to think about what I would say to her but when I finally stood before her, I could barely get any words out. I already offended her again and things weren’t looking good for me.Damien and I had a long talk earlier and he warned me that no matter what happens, I shouldn’t make Harlyn turn her back against me and that’s why when she walked away from the door, got on the bed with her back on me, I walked into the room even though she told me not to and now she was facing me and telling me her mind and she was right. I failed to identify who my real enemies were. I went so hard for Sean who turned out to be my enemy yet I doubted Hillan who turned out to be on my side even though he was doing it because he cared about my mate and his sister.“Harlyn, I am sorry.” I said again, that’s all I could. Every other thing felt wrong. I thought about words I wanted to say but couldn’t get them out because I
Bernardo “Oh really? Isn’t that what you wanted? I thought that’s what you wanted.” “No, it’s not. Harlyn. I hate it when we fight. I hate it so much. I hate not being able to get through to you.” I told her. “Then you should have thought of that before hitting him. You should have thought of that before pushing him out of your office like a criminal.” She yelled at me. It felt like she would choose Hillan over me if given the chance and that hurt me so badly.“You act like if you are given the chance to pick between us, you would pick Hillan over me.” I let out. she opened and closed her mouth as if she couldn’t believe what I just said. “Say what? Really? Does our mating bond mean nothing to you? Fucking hell the whole reason that I am so mad right now is because you damn well know that I would choose you over him anytime any day yet you chose to villainize him.”She fired at me and lifted her hands to stop me when I tried to speak.“You chose to turn him into something he is
Harlyn“I love you too, alpha, so very much.” I told him. I felt happy that we made up. Not just that, the fact that he accepted his fault too made me happy. I thought we wouldn’t make up and at first, he refused to see things from my point of view and I refused to listen to him but I am glad we got over everything. I hugged him close. “God, I missed you so much, Lyn. I don’t think I would have been able to sleep in our bed tonight if we hadn’t resolved our issues. it doesn’t feel the same without you and I have gone multiple nights without you in it already.” He lamented. I chuckled. He wasn’t alone. Yeah, it was as bad for me because I had Helaine with me but he had to sleep alone in a bed that we spent time making love in. It would have brought back memories. “I am glad but it might happen again when Laine returns.” I warned him. “Yeah, I will prepare for that. Will you come with me to our room tonight and sleep next to me until your sister returns?” He asked me. I nodded. I
Harlyn“I missed you so much, baby,”He whispered against my lips and kissed me again.“I missed too,”I told him when we pulled apart. We walked further into our room and then I remembered he met with Hillan and wanted to know what Hillan told him since he told me I would hear it directly from Bernardo.“What did Hillan tell you about your cousin? I asked him but he told me to hear it from you after he finished telling you.”I told him.“Let’s sit down, it’s a whole lot of explaining,”He told me and I did just as he said. I wanted to know the things Hillan had found out about. “Really? Will what he found out help? Will we ever be rid of Theo and his minions?”I questioned. He sat down next to me and took my hands in his. He gave me a reassuring nod.“Yes, we will get rid of him. I just need to wait for their big meeting, that’s the only thing holding us back. I am so close to saying fuck it and give the command that will kick start everything but Damien is right. Acting all tough a
Harlyn“A better man, yes. I am definitely becoming a better man and I will be a better king and alpha too.”He assured me.“Good because I will be your Luna, the people’s Luna, and the heart of our pack.”I promised him. “You are already the perfect Luna. My Luna, my love, my queen. Goddess, I love you so much, Harlyn. I don’t ever want to fight with you. I hate it so much when I can't hold you like this.”He let out. I could say the same. I don’t like it when we are not talking. I finally released my wolf and the first she did was growl at me.“You..”“Don’t even start.”I whispered and realized I said it out loud when Bernardo looked at me in confusion. I shook my head and smiled.“Not you, my wolf. I blocked her out because we were fighting too.”I explained.“Why did you fight with your wolf?”He asked, I wondered if I could tell him but then again, we promised not to keep anything away from each other.“She took your side.”He smiled happily.“Don’t look so happy.”I warned him
Bernardo“What do you want to talk to me about?” I asked Hillan. I had been sleeping when my phone buzzed and was surprised to see a text from Hillan saying that we needed to talk and that it was urgent. I left the room quietly so as not to wake Harlyn and made my way to the guest house where Hillan was spending the night and that’s why I was currently standing in front of him. “You have a traitor and a spy within the palace. someone told Theo that I came to see you and he called me. He even talked about the fight we had.” Hillan explained. A traitor? A spy within the palace? I wasn’t even surprised that someone would be an insider. I mean, I should have expected it. “Let’s go inside?” I asked, looking around.“Yes, let’s go inside.” He said and I followed him into the house. We took our seats and I waited. “Do you have any idea who it could be? I had to make up lies just to keep up the charade. As it stands, I am trying to steal Harlyn from you.” Hillan let out. “What?” I
Bernardo“What happened?” I asked him, waiting to hear the worst news ever. Damien wasn’t one to create false alerts. If he said it was bad news then it was certainly bad news that I might not be pleased to hear.“They discovered the bug we planted at your uncle’s house.” My heart sank at his words.“Can you come to my room? We have to talk about it.”Damien added. I nodded and stood up.“Will be there in a minute.” I told him and turned to Hillan who was looking at me expectantly. At first, I just wanted to tell him goodnight and go meet with Damien on my own but on second thought, I decided to trust him and carry him along since he already helped in a lot of ways.“We have a situation and Damien wants me to meet him at his apartment. Want to come along?” I asked him. He nodded and stood up immediately.“Why what happened?” he asked him.“We will talk once we get there. But he told me the bugs we planted at my uncle’s house have been found.” I informed him. he didn’t respond as
Bernardo “Before you ask me how that will help, let me tell you that the father and son might be on the same team but they don’t get along. for one, that fool talks down on his father a lot and calls him a failure for failing to get the throne after taking out your father and the Zeta.” The fact that Theo and his father had issues even though they had the same goal was news to me. I mean, I used to think he wasn’t on his side the way Sean talked about his son and how disappointed he was at his action until he bugged my office and showed who he truly was. “He told you what his father did to mine and Harlyn’s father?” I asked Hillan when I realized that I only found that part out not too long ago. “Yes, even told me about wanting to take out the other possible heirs but failed because your brother has been on another continent for years and your sister’s son that he planned to kill was healed by your mate. He hates you by the way.” It wasn’t news that he hated me. That's one o
