Harlyn “I think I am going crazy,” That was the first thing I said when I opened my eyes and I meant it. It's like I was going crazy because I was hearing a voice in my head that wasn’t mine or my wolf’s. not that the voice was very loud but it felt like someone was in my head. Not just someone. It was Bernardo. I was sure of it. It first started yesterday when I thought I heard him call my name. it had been the craziest thing to happen to me but how would that even be possible to begin with. I realized it must be a result of me thinking too much about him. “I am a fool,”I whispered. I have been telling myself that nonstop for the past couple of days because only a fool would still be thinking of a man who rejected her and sent her out of the only home she knew. Yeah, I had to be a fool because I kept wishing for him to come find me even though it was nearly a week after everything happened and he was nowhere. Bet he doesn’t even know where I am. “It’s your fault,”I accused my w
Harlyn “You still have time to get dressed and come with me, darling, there will be so much food and drinks,”Julia invited me again but I shook my head. I wasn’t up for any party right now. Not when I was slowly going crazy. “I'm sorry, Jules but I have used up all my social skills for the month already, I would only be a party bopper if I went,”I told her. She didn’t look convinced. “You can just sit prettily, you don’t have to do anything, and no one expects you to do anything, I promise, it will be fun,”She pressed. “I can’t I have to finish this book,”I said and showed her the book I was reading, her eyes lit up in excitement and she nodded. “Sure, that’s a good choice,”She said in an excited voice. “I came to show you my outfit and I really hope I can find my mate today. Gina invited a lot of hot wolves and even humans. I am sure my mate is among them. I really hope so because I want to be the first to find my mate. I don’t want Hills to find his before me,”Julia said
Harlyn “Yeah, well, after he marked me, I became hyper-aware of him, figured out he was my mate, and the fact that he told me to go to sleep while still in his arms kind of made it seem like he accepted me. The next morning, he woke me up with kisses, made love to me, walked out of the room, and came back all mad at me for still being in his bed. Long story short. He told me to forget everything that happened, told me marking me was an accident, threatened to throw me out of the pack and the kingdom if I didn’t forget about it,”I said and paused. For once, I wasn’t crying but that doesn’t mean that I am not hurt. It still hurt like hell and talking about it was hard for me but I couldn’t keep keeping them in the dark about what happened to me and how I ended up without a pack. “You couldn’t forget? Is that why he sent you away?”Julia asked. I shook my head.“No, he didn’t wait to find out. He couldn’t do it himself. He sent his sister, Princess Sophie to do the dirty job. She thre
Bernardo I finally landed in the Orange Moon pack and I was in an elevator at Lovie Enterprise. The company was founded and run by Hillan Lovie. A man I never for once thought I would be meeting in person for personal reasons. The last time I saw him in person was about two years ago when alphas from different packs around the world had met for a meeting to discuss a common interest. We didn’t get along when I met him in college years ago and we certainly didn’t get along when we met two years ago but when my assistant made the call and told him I wanted to meet him, I was surprised at how fast he agreed. I came with some of my bodyguards as I couldn’t travel alone. The elders will go crazy if I ever think of it but I told the people that accompanied me to look for a good hotel to stay. I had a car waiting for me at the airport and the driver brought me here with one bodyguard who refused to let me go on my own. I left him downstairs. It took a day to prepare and while I waited, I
Bernardo “I am not just another alpha. I am king. I am royalty,” I growled. “Just because you are royalty doesn’t make you any more than the rest of us alphas, have some respect, Bernardo” He warned. Not the one who is trying to steal my woman asking me to respect him, where was the respect when he brought a woman who already carried the mark of her mate to his pack? He wasn’t the one to be talking about respect and I wasn’t leaving until Harlyn came with me. She belongs to Crimson Moon and even though she doesn't feel welcomed now, I had plans of making her the most respected woman in the kingdom. “Have some respect? You are trying to steal my woman,” I fired at him. “No, I am not trying to steal your woman, I saved her, know the difference,” He responded. That got me and I unclenched my fist and sat up. “Save her? From who?” I asked, I was never one to fear but with Harlyn I have become a little weak, resulting in the fear. Here I was, mad at Hillan but what I hadn’t done
Bernardo “I came to take you back home with me,”I told her. her expression softened for a moment but then it went hard again. She looked at me in disbelief.“Why would you do that?”She asked. “Because you belong in Crimson Moon, Harlyn. Your place is by my side, always,”I told her. She shook her head.“I am not coming with you,”She declared, not meeting my gaze.“Harlyn,”I whispered, I understood her not wanting to come with me after the way I treated her but I couldn’t go back without her.“I don’t want to be a member of your pack anymore, you guys treat people like me like shit over there, meanwhile in this pack, everyone is treated equally and with respect. No one cares that I have no wolf. They still treat me like a pack mate even though I have been here for a week at most, I feel safe here,”I felt sick, not just me, my wolf felt sick too hearing our woman declaring that she doesn’t want to be with us. I was at fault. I knew I shouldn’t be doing it at the moment because i
Harlyn I couldn’t believe Bernardo was standing in front of me. Neither could I believe that he came because he wanted me back and what was even more crazy about the whole thing was that I wasn’t going crazy after all. The crazy man found a way to get in my head. All the times I thought I was hallucinating; it had been him. He somehow, I don’t know how but he got into my head. I tried to push him out and it worked. But I could tell that it was only going to work for a short while. I didn’t know what he did to me. “Why can you hear my thoughts?”I fired at him. He tried to come near me again but I raised my hands up to stop him. I didn’t want him near me because I was scared that I might give in if he touched me. I already made a fool of myself by being worried for him when Hillan had hit him. I should have let Hillan throw him out. Instead, I let him leave us to talk. I had nothing to say to Bernardo. “But you wanted him to come back,”My wolf chirped. She didn’t even hold a grudge
Harlyn“I can’t. I know I hurt you deeply and I don’t have a right to be here asking you to come back with me but I can’t leave this place without you. The Crimson Moon doesn’t feel the same without you. You are the one for me, Harlyn, please take me back,” “I don’t want to. Bernardo. You don’t get to come back now and ask me to come back with you or take you back. you had me freely and chose to let me go. Sucks for you,” I said as I put some distance between us. I was done talking to him. if I keep standing here and listening to him, I might give in. I couldn’t do that.“Harlyn, please,”I shook my head. Just as Hillan walked back into the living room. I turned to him for rescue. “I don’t want him here,”I told him and he nodded. I ran upstairs to my room and closed the door behind me with a loud bang. I rested my body against the door, my heart beating so fast and my wolf scowling because I didn’t take Bernardo back. I couldn’t lie to myself anymore. I wanted to take him back. I
