HarlynI finally got the chance to communicate with not just Bernardo but my brother too. Even Helaine. They didn’t respond but I know damn well that they heard me. Bernardo responded and he told me that they were coming for me.I had no doubt in my mind that they would find me before anything bad happened to me. I knew even before I was able to speak with him that they were looking for me. I felt the anxiety and fear in him. I did my best not to show that I felt anxious and scared.“Why are you so silent? There’s a reason I let you out and you should be doing that.”Sean scoffed. I resisted the urge to roll my eyes. He initially refused to accept to let me out of the room I had been in. He told me that I was trying to find ways to escape. If only he knew that I had no plans to escape. I wanted him to be caught. I didn’t want to run away from him. I wanted him to be defeated.Anyway, when he realized that he wouldn’t get the healing he wanted without letting me out of the room he cage
Harlyn“Luna? Hahaha, so funny. See the thing is that you won’t be for long and that’s for sure. Soon, you will be nothing more than a sex slave for me and my son. The rage in me grew to a whole new height. My wolf couldn’t take the insults, she wanted to break free and deal with him but I fought against her for control. There was no point in letting his words get to me or her. We will win only if we do things in the right order. I can’t get mad and ruin things for Bernardo.“You won’t be saying that when the Alpha king finds you.” I assured him and placed my hands on him. “Stay put if you want this to actually work.” I warned him and closed my eyes. Instead of focusing on healing him, I focused on finding out what he had been up to. I knew in my mind that I just had to want to know enough to get everything that I wanted from him.Healing him will be the payment for the information that I hope to get so yeah, healing wasn’t my main job here. The gods forbid I use my powers for an
Bernardo“How long more?” I let out impatiently. We were taking too long and Harlyn just briefly spoke to me. I tried to ask her more questions but she didn’t answer. She was in fear and distress.“Not long, did you hear anything?” Harry asked. I didn’t want him to panic. He has been doing a good job driving. If I told him that his sister might be in danger, I don’t know how he would take it. fuck! If that bastard hurts my woman, I won’t just kill him. I will make sure that it will be a slow painful death. “Just drive. We are running out of time.” I told Harry. Hillan touched me. I turned to look at him and sighed. I couldn’t even whisper because the others would hear. I reached for Hillan’s hand and held tight. I expected him to try to pull his hand away, but he didn’t. He instead linked our hands and nodded at me. It gave me so much strength and reaction.I wasn’t alone in this. I had three friends who cared about me and cared about my mate in their own way, and they would neve
HarlynIt happened so fast, one moment, Sean was trying to grab me and have his way with me and the next he was being thrown against the wall while I struggled to get off the bed. That bastard. I healed him and the moment he got up, he pushed me into the bed and tried to kiss me.“Bern!” I yelled out when I finally got up and saw who my savior was. My mate. He came just in time to save me. I had taken all the time I could. I got all the information I needed from Sean and couldn’t hold back anyone so it happened. I healed him.I heard his broken bones snap into place and my heart sank. Now, my heart soared when I saw my mate undoing all the work I did. I didn’t mind. Sean deserved what he was getting. He tried to lay his filthy hands on me.I fought him off as much as I could and even bit hard on him but he was way stronger than I presumed. The moment he was okay, again, I couldn’t overpower him.Bernardo turned to me and walked to me. He looked at me, searching for injuries. I shook
Harlyn“I am so sorry that I took so long to find you.” Was he kidding me? He arrived at the perfect time. I am not about to let him start blaming himself again for this. None of what happened was our fault. I thought he got hurt and got into trouble while trying to reach him and he did his best to find me. He found me. I wasn’t hurt or anything.“Bern.” I choked when it became unbearable. He finally noticed and released me. He fuzzed over me, looking for any sort of injuries. I had none even if I did, they were all healed now. “I am okay, you arrived just in time. Though, you just undid all the work I did,” I pointed at Sean who was still on the floor where Bernardo had left him. Maybe he was dead now. I didn’t even feel any kind of pity for him. An evil man like him doesn’t deserve pity. Bernardo looked at him and growled. He still wanted to hurt him but for some reason, he was holding back. He turned back to me and gently moved my hair away from my face.“I was so scared. I c
Harlyn“Your majesty,” He called when we got to him. I don’t know if he was talking to Bernardo or me. I blinked back tears and glared at him. He noticed me glaring at him and stepped out of the way. Bernardo opened the car door and helped me in.“Are you okay?” I nodded without words. Hillan wasn’t talking to me. My brother hugged me and Damien greeted me with a smile but he was just quiet. As if he doesn’t care. As if he doesn’t want to be here. Did I do something wrong? I couldn’t remember. The last time we saw each other, I healed him so why was he acting so cold?“He cares.” Bernardo’s voice filtered into my head. I didn’t even know I let my guard down.“I am sorry,” I apologized. He was here with me, I shouldn't be thinking about another man. He smiled and fixed my hair before caressing my cheek. He didn’t look offended.“You don’t have to apologize. He was just as worried about you as the rest of us. You can talk to him. I will go see what the others are up to. I don’t wan
Harlyn“I can’t forget everything that happened here, at least not yet. We need to catch everyone involved and I may have a great list of others you guys don’t know about.”Hillan stared at me in confusion. He doesn’t know that I see vision too. I wonder if I should tell him. I healed him too so he might not like to hear that I was able to see the things that happened to him. I didn’t mean to prey on him.“What do you mean?”Should I just lie? I could say Sean namedropped a lot of people but the chances of Bern telling him were high since they seem to be very close now. He even left me with him where before he would never have let that happen.“I see visions of those I heal and I preyed a lot more with Sean and saw a handful of things that I think will help us.”I bit down on my bottom lip when he stared at me in shock. I didn’t need a prophet to tell me where his thoughts were going and when his expression turned into questioning looks, I nodded.“Lyn!”He yelped.“Sorry, I didn’t me
Harlyn I woke in a bed. I jerked up in fear. Two strong arms wrapped around me, holding me in place and I almost screamed out in fear until I heard Bernardo's voice.“Lyn, hey. It’s me, don’t be scared.”He told me and I breathed out in relief as the event that happened a while ago came rushing back to me. I fell asleep inside the helicopter and must have missed our landing. He must have carried me back to our bedroom.I didn’t get any sleep last night after what those bastards had knocked me out with fazed off. I leaned into Bernardo, feeling relieved that I was no longer in that place. His warm arms wrapped around me reassuringly. I felt safe in his arms and closed my eyes again letting the familiar feel of him envelop and surrender me.“Bern.”I whispered his name after a while. I have so much to tell him about the things I found out from Sean but I don’t even know where to start from. Where would I start listing the things that evil losers did? There was so much that he should be
Harlyn “Why did she call you this time? Does she have new information?” I asked him. He nodded. “Okay, is it bad? Do you not want me to ask?” It was clear by his body language that he didn’t want me to know but I wanted to know. It was important that I know as I am the Luna and Queen of the Crimson Moon. If it concerns my kingdom, then it concerns me. Unless, maybe it’s not about my kingdom. Either way, I still wanted to know. “I would much rather speak to the king.” I resisted the urge to curse at him. Really? It wasn’t the first time he said something like that to me but for the first time, I felt offended. What did he see me as? Did he think I couldn’t handle whatever news it was? “You will tell me because it involves my kingdom and my people. I am Luna and I deserve to know. You have no choice!” I told him firmly. I could tell by his reaction that he didn’t expect me to react the way I did. “Lyn I sh---“ “No! Tell me. It’s a command!” I let out. I didn’t mean
Harlyn “There’s a handbook. I asked her and she told me she has a lot written down in all the years that she has known about her powers. She is willing to give all that she wrote down to you. She also wants to meet you but I told her that you can’t see her now. Hopefully, soon.” Hillan explained. I wanted to jump on him. I wanted to hug and kiss his cheeks. It was the best news ever. I really wanted something as some form of guide because right now, it feels like I am using my powers without knowing the depth of it. “I would love to meet her too and yes, I really need the handbook.” I told him enthusiastically. “I will have it sent down to the Crimson Moon by tomorrow.” “Wow, so soon?” I let out. He smiled and nodded. “Yes, I told you. I already asked her before. I was going to get it down here anyway. I just have to make a call and someone will send it over. It should arrive in two to three days.” I really wanted to hug him but I didn’t. Instead, I reached and touch
Harlyn I woke up the next morning alone. I was used to waking up alone now so I didn’t think much of it, I just went about my morning routine before breakfast. After the events of the past two days, I actually hoped that today would just be a normal day for me. I really didn’t want to deal with any negativity. I knew I was reaching out because as long as Theo and everyone associated with him and his father are still out there, there will definitely be negative things happening. I just hope it doesn’t affect those I care about and all the good people of the Crimson Moon. Even though I knew the chance of it being a peaceful day was low, I still made a mental note to make the most of today. I didn’t even notice Bernardo had left a note for me until I finished getting ready. I only saw the note because I went to pick up my phone from the bedside. I smiled when I saw the note. “I didn’t want to wake you because you were sleeping so peacefully. Out for my daily kingly duties and w
Harlyn “Sure, I will do that once I arrive. I can’t believe your mate’s family members are the ones against him. Don’t they know the importance of family? I can’t imagine our aunts and uncles hurting each other. Our family have lived together for decades and still care about each other.” “Maybe because there’s no throne to fight for.” I said even though I knew that wasn’t a good excuse.“We have treasures, fortunes that go way back to centuries ago. We have generational wealth too yet no one is fighting.” “Tell me about our family's generational wealth.” I said with interest and Helaine laughed before diving into a story that got us talking for hours on the phone. I didn’t even realize how much time had passed until Bernardo walked back into our room looking worn out and ready to crash for the night.“Laine, I have to go. His majesty is back.” I told Laine who made a face that made me smile.“Are you picking your mate over me right now? I am your sister. Your blood. We met in th
Harlyn“It doesn’t matter.” I told Laine.“I know. It doesn’t. You will be just as gorgeous. Wait, even more gorgeous. Once the pregnancy glow hits you, you will be more breathtaking. I should watch out for my brother-in-law.” I laughed at her words and she laughed too. We both went silent and just stared wordlessly at each other for a minute before she spoke again.“I went to see our relatives and we talked about you. They are all so eager to meet you.” Same. I want to meet them too. All of them. I wanted them to hug me and welcome me into the family.“Me too.” I told her.“I found out something from our aunt and would like to try it out once I arrive back at the kingdom.” Helaine told me.“What?” “Triplet power. Apparently, the birthmarks that we carry aren't just there for fancy. Something is supposed to happen when we join hands in the right order.” I stared at her with interest.“In order?” She nodded.“Yes, in the order that we came out of mom’s womb. Harry, me and you.
HarlynI don’t know how long I slept after Bernardo left me in our room but when I woke up, it was lunch time so I had lunch alone in our room and then went right back to bed. I felt exhausted and knew it was a result of the strength I used to heal that bastard.I fell asleep again only after a few minutes on the bed and woke up to my phone ringing loudly. I reached for it and picked it up without looking. I placed my phone on my ear and almost lost the ability to hear when Helaine shouted out my name.“It's a video call. Move your phone away from your ear, your majesty.” I sat up immediately and rubbed my eyes to clear the sleep off.“Hi, Laine.” “Hi sleepy.” She greeted me back. She was wearing a lab coat which took off immediately. She looked so much like me that for a moment, I thought I was staring at myself. Even her smile. “That’s us!” My wolf chirped in. glad, I wasn’t the only one who thought so. It must be the sleep getting into my head. Laine went off the screen and t
Bernardo “I can’t imagine my father’s brother or his children fighting me for my position as alpha either.” Hillan added.“I can. My father’s brother almost killed my parents. If not for our Luna, he would have succeeded.” Damien chirped in, reminding me of the good deed Harlyn had done for his family. I smiled proudly.“That’s fucking sad,” Harry said and both Damien and I nodded in agreement. It was sad because families are supposed to have each other’s back. I wanted so much for my family to be that way. That's why I did my best to keep a close relationship with Sean and his family but that turned out to be my biggest mistake.“Guys! I think we should take a break. You guys go to your mates and have a good time and we will come back tomorrow, refreshed and ready to hatch out a plan to end things fast and clean so that we can go back to our normal life.” Hillan suggested. It was a nice idea so I nodded in agreement and then felt bad when I remembered that he didn’t have a mate
Bernardo“Bastard,” He was truly a bastard in many ways. How could he be so ruthless? My grandmother took care of him after his own mom passed away. My father became alpha king because he was more deserving. It was a unanimous decision and not because they stole anything from him.I still couldn’t bring myself to accept that that bastard killed my grandmother after everything she did for him. Lyn told me how disrespectful he had been towards her from the beginning.“Hey yo! King!” Hillan’s voice brought me out of my thoughts. I gazed at him in confusion wondering what he told me. He snapped his finger in my face as if to wake me up.“What?” “Where are you? Why are you glaring at the screen? We can go check it out if you want.” Hillan suggested. I shook my head. We have been through enough today already. No need to rush into some hideout without plans.“Is Theo still coming over?” I asked, remembering that the witch had said earlier that Theo was heading back to the Crimson Moon.
Bernardo“What do you mean why? You are the king of the Crimson Moon and you got shit to do.”“Yeah? But I am your mate and I got shit to do here.”I said pointing from myself to her.“Whatever you want to do with me can wait. The kingdom needs its king during the day. I will take the nights for now.”Wow, I couldn’t believe her.“What if I don’t want to leave you? After what happened, I don’t feel okay leaving you on your own.”She sneered at me.“I am not a baby and what happened before won’t happen again. You have a lot on your plate. The sooner you are done; the sooner we can spend more time together without you worrying. I am doing this for myself. Small sacrifice for the bigger enjoyment. I love you.”She added the last part and I couldn’t argue.“You are literally driving me away and doing it lovingly that I can’t even say no.”“You are right. Now go be king. I love you.”She brought my face close to hers and kissed me. I let her kiss me for a while before I took over and kisse
