Harlyn “That’s nice, how was your night?” I asked him. He smiled and reached for my hand, I pulled away and regretted it immediately I saw the hurt in his eyes. “Har---” “I am sorry,” I whispered. “No, don’t be. I shouldn’t have touched you. Can we talk?” He asked, keeping his hand to himself. I felt like hell. This is Hillan. Someone who helped me at my darkest moment. Someone who protected me and let me stay in his home even though he didn’t know anything about me. Why did I suddenly start acting like a bitch with him? He hasn’t done anything that he doesn’t do before so why am I the one trying to ruin our relationship? I reached for his hand and held it in mine. “I am sorry, what do you want to tell me?” I asked him. He smiled and turned to the guard who stood watching us. “Leave us,” I told him. He looked like he wanted to argue at first but decided against it, good for him. I waited until he was gone from the room before I looked at Hillan again. I reminded my
HarlynI knew without being told that we were in trouble, I pushed forward and stood between him and Hillan as I didn’t want him to hurt him again. Hillan tried to get in front of me but I stopped him. If there’s anyone to calm Bernardo down then it would be. We talked last night so I just have to assure him that he has nothing to be worried about.“What’s that bastard doing with you? Why was he touching you? What are you telling her?” Bernardo let out when he got closer to us. I tried to reach for him to calm him down. I didn’t want them to fight or something because the man already looked like he was out to commit murder and I refused to let him kill my friend.“It’s none of your business what I have to tell her.” Fucking Hillan, I turned to look at him in shock. Did he really say that to my murderous-looking mate? He looked like he had a death wish or something because why else would he say something like that to an already angry Bernardo? “What did you say, Lovie?” “Bernardo.
HarlynHe told me to stay away but I couldn’t stay away so I wiped the tears from my eyes and ran towards them. One of the guards outside the room tried to stop me from leaving but I growled at him and dared him. He backed off when he saw that I wasn’t playing with him.“Bernardo let him go!” I yelled at Bernardo when I saw him still dragging Hillan who was acting like he didn’t have strength, not to mention that he was still bleeding. His cut hasn’t healed yet. How would he heal when Bernardo continuously punched him in the same spot?“I told you to stay away, Luna.” Bernardo let out without looking at me, he just kept dragging Hillan away. I broke into a run and got ahead of him.“Stop! What the fuck is wrong with you, I am your Luna and I command you to stop.” I yelled at him. Okay, I didn’t expect him to actually stop but he did. There were people around. Guards, palace workers, and the king’s relatives and they just witnessed me commanding the king but I didn’t care. He liste
Harlyn “I hate it here.” I let out as I made my way to the room that I shared with my mate, I really do hate it. I hated everything that happened today and I realized that that’s why I felt off. Today turned out to be as bad as I had thought it would be when I woke feeling off. I don’t know if things would have ended differently if I had just stayed in the room like I had earlier thought. Hillan wouldn’t have come to meet me in the king’s chamber. It would have prevented what happened. He would have left and probably called me to tell me how he felt and it would have been easy to deal with it on the phone. we wouldn’t have created a scene and I wouldn’t have had to command the alpha king in front of his people. “No damn it, you are Luna, you have the power.” My wolf let out. I didn’t expect her to side with me. “I am you,” She reminded me. Yeah, we might disagree a lot but at the end of the day, she is me and I am here and she is right, I am Luna and that’s why Bernardo li
Harlyn“What are you saying? Planned? When? Why? How?” I asked in confusion but even in my confusion, I felt a small light of hope start to bubble inside me, hope that Hillan and I can still be friends and that our relationship wasn’t ruined yet. “Sorry baby. But to be fair, it wasn’t my plan. your savior wanted it that way and I tried to talk him out of it but he and Damien ganged up against me and it was two to one. I lost and agreed. Again, I am just a secondary character in the plot.” He repeated. He was clearly trying not to get in trouble with me. Not like I was mad at him. I just don’t get what he meant yet and how they decided to plan it. “But why? You beat him up, you broke his nose and he was bleeding so bad.” I reminded him. “That wasn’t supposed to happen but he told me he is okay, you healed him.” Yeah, I healed but then, why would he go through such pain just to prank me? It has to be a prank. “Why did he need to prank me? I don’t find what he did funny.” I let
HarlynI didn’t have time to discuss my fears with him as a knock came on our door and the guard informed us that the midwife was around.“You don’t have to come with me.” I told Bernardo when he started to follow me. I know he has a lot to do and honestly, I would rather he stay alert to make sure he takes the call as soon as Hillan calls. Yes, I am worried sick for him and won’t be at peace until he calls or texts that it is all good.I don’t trust Sean. I don’t trust Theo. They might be up to something and Hillan might be the pawn. I don’t want him to be a pawn.“Don’t say that. This is important. I want to be there with you. I want to hold your hands.” “Sir, it’s not like we will get the result today. She is just going to take my blood sample,” He laughed when I said that. “What do you know?” I asked him. “Let’s just say I told her to bring a urine test kit with her for the first test and she can collect your sample for confirmation.” He revealed. I should have known he wou
HarlynOur eyes met and I knew immediately that she wasn’t a good person. She smiled and bowed to me but everything just felt off about her. I looked to see if Bernardo noticed but he looked normal and so did the midwife. Only I could see that the woman with the midwife had some very deep negative energy around her. “Who are you?” I asked her. I just couldn’t stop myself from asking.“I am a student nurse,” She looked too grown to be a student nurse but maybe I was being ageist. I mean, if I do decide to pursue a career now or attend College, I would be the oldest in my class. That’s not the reason that I didn’t like her. I just felt off about her.“How long have you been working alongside her?” I asked her, and she looked at me weirdly.“Your majesty, I am a student, I don’t work yet, I am doing my clinical posting and that’s why I accompanied her.” She explained. I nodded and connected with Bernardo through our mind link. I needed to tell him how I felt about her.“I don’t lik
Harlyn“There’s no other exit,” I told her and turned to my mate who stepped forward. “Escort the young woman out, I will meet with you guys shortly, make sure she doesn’t try to leave.”“Your majesty.” The midwife called. She clearly didn’t know she brought a spy to the palace.“You stay back and do what you came here for, Nancy. She needs to answer a few questions and her answers determine whether she will be allowed to leave or not.” Bernardo said and beckoned on the guards to lead her out. She didn’t even say a word or try to fight them off, she just followed them out of the room.“She didn’t even try to fight it.” I commented when she was out of the room. “Yeah, I think she already knows that there’s no point in fighting,” He said and we both turned to the midwife. I kind of felt bad for her. She looked so confused.“Bern, explain to her.” I whispered to Bernardo in my head.“Sure,” He replied.“Nancy, you haven’t done anything wrong. You just brought the wrong person i
