Bernardo The drive to the hotel where I was to stay until I could get Harlyn back with me was hell of moody. I was in a foul mood and it was all of my own making. I kept reminding myself that this was all happening to me because I let it happen. I was to blame for everything. Did I really expect Harlyn to just accept me back? Of course, she wasn’t going to just take me back after how I treated her. I got in her head for a few minutes after I left Hillan’s mansion only to hear her stay the reason she didn’t want to take me back. She was scared. Scared that I might get tired of her and send her away again. I needed to find a way to make her know that I would never do something like that again. that it was a mistake I had no intention of repeating. I may have failed to win her back today but I will not give up like that. I am never going to give her up and I told Hillan just as much. Hillan was a better man than I thought. He was kind of understanding after he got over the initial shoc
Harlyn After Hillan left me, I sort of went to lay on my bed and tried to avoid thinking as much as I could now that I knew Bernardo could get in my head whenever he wanted and it was crazy. I couldn’t even think for fear that he might be listening in on my thoughts. It was invasive and even more annoying because I couldn't do it back, maybe if I could then I would know if he meant everything that he had been saying to me. He did say I could when I marked him back but I didn’t want to fall for his trap. We will have to have sex for me to be able to mark him so what if he was doing everything because he wants to screw me for the last time to get me out of his system?I waited for him to say something. To hear his voice but there was nothing. I couldn’t feel him in my head. He may have listened to me and actually stopped trying to get in my head. I did push him out even though I didn’t know how I did it. Hillan asked me to give it a thought and give him a chance but I wasn’t so sure I
Harlyn“That’s the whole point, there was supposed to be something here and now there is nothing, you did it,” She let out turning away from me again and talking to my mirror.“JULIA!”I was forced to yell. She turned to me with the biggest smile ever. “I knew you were special. from the moment I saw you. I knew you were special. I can’t believe Bernardo thought it was okay to throw someone like you out. he must have been out of his mind,”She said, yeah, even Bernardo had said he had been out of his mind when he did what he did. “Now you are scaring me. What did I do? Why am I special? I don’t see myself as special though. Maybe weird but definitely not special. Special would be me having some kind of powers but I don’t have any power. I am stuck here without a wolf. sorry, I have a wolf, she just doesn’t want to surface,”I pointed out.“That’s what I am trying to say, baby, you got special powers.”Julia said. I shook my head, clearly, the alcohol that she had taken at the party
Harlyn I couldn’t believe it. I kept looking at my head and looking back at Julia who was staring at me with an ‘I told you so’ expression. It wasn’t me. I didn’t feel anything. If I was the one that did, I should have felt something. How would I be a healer and not know? “It’s not me,”I finally said after a long moment of just staring at my hand. Julia shook her head. “It is you. Harlyn. You are gifted. You are a rare wolf and a special kind. There aren’t many healers in packs around the world. Wow. I never thought I would meet a young healer,”Julia said in awe. I shook my head still because it just didn’t make any sense to me. Why didn’t I know this? Why haven’t I been able to heal anyone before? “You don’t understand, it can’t be me. maybe you really have fast healing powers. I am not gifted in any way. Why would I be a healer without knowing? Without a wolf who can surface?”I asked, throwing my hands in the air. “You don’t know until you do something extraordinary like you
Harlyn “Well, that explains why you can’t do it yet. Once you mark him back, the ritual will be complete and the mate bond will be unbreakable. If you had marked him that night, he might not have been able to reject you,”She explained. “I didn’t know. everything happened so fast,”“It’s not your fault. Whoa, I wish I could find my true mate too,”She said wistfully. “I am sure you will find your mate soon,”I said.“I doubt, I am thirty now, I have been looking since I turned eighteen and no one is coming. I feel like my brother and I are mates. We have a twin bond and even though we can read each other’s thoughts, we definitely have a bond.”She said, They definitely had a strong bond because they sometimes finished each other’s sentences. “I am sure you will find him soon,”I repeated. “Well, let’s put me aside for now and talk about you. See, Harlyn, I know Bernardo was stupid and damn wrong for what he did to you but if you guys are real true mates then he must have realized
Harlyn“You care about me,”My wolf chirped. “Of course, you are part of me,”I whispered. I wondered if my wolf knew I had powers. “I didn’t,”Figured. I thought when she answered. “With everything that has happened. I don’t know, I don’t want to hope too much,”“Wait. There will be a full moon soon. I am sure you will find out then.”Julia said in excitement. “Even if that happens, by then, I will be back in the Crimson Moon. If I take Bernardo back, we will have to go home,”I pointed out. “Yes, and? Is that a problem? We can always call each other. technology has advanced a lot you know,”She pointed out.“Plus, I can’t lose my favorite fan. I will kill Bernardo”She threatened and I laughed.“What’s funny?”We both turned to the door when we heard Hillan’s voice. “You need to stop sneaking in on people like some kind of ghost,”Julia scolded while I waved to Hillan who rolled his eyes at his twin sister. “I am glad you are okay, I really felt like a jerk for leaving you o
Bernardo “So, you didn’t think of going to see her again yesterday? You didn’t call her? how are you going to win her back if you are not making any move?”Damien questioned me. He just got here and he was already asking me questions. I had my reasons for staying away yesterday. I didn’t do anything or go anywhere. I was in my hotel room all day yesterday. I had a lot on my mind and I was sure Harlyn did too.“Well? Why aren’t you saying anything?”Damien asked. I shook my head. “Damien, she wasn’t pleased that I went to see her the day before yesterday. I gave her time to get used to the fact that I am still around and I plan on going to see her today. I already called Hillan to inform him.”I revealed. I expected him to nod in agreement or something but instead of doing that, he was staring at me as if I grew another head.“What? You are not cut out for this man. I feel bad for your mate. You are bad at this whole thing,”Damien said while shaking his head. “Why?”“You really wan
Bernardo “Yes, Your Majesty. Your woman is in her room. It’s up to her to welcome or throw you out. I told her that if she doesn’t want you here, she can throw you out. Damien. It was nice meeting you.”Hillan said. stretching his hand out to Damien who took it. Here I thought they were about to fight. Maybe I misread everything. Not that I gave it much thought, I just wanted to see Harlyn. “Be careful. I have to leave for an important meeting and my twin sister is at home right now. I don’t bite but she does,”Hillan warned us and walked by us. “Show yourself in. I hope you win if not then sucks for you,”Hillan called out when he entered his car. Both Damien and I stood there and watched as his car pulled out of the building. “Did you hear that? My mate might be inside this house,”Damien said and I glared at him. He was acting like he didn’t almost fight her brother.“I don’t think getting on Hillan’s bad side will be good for you,”I told him. “Bad side? We are cool. Let’s go
