Bernardo “I am sorry, I know this was important to you but something happened back at Crimson Moon that needs to be addressed quickly,”Damien said when I got downstairs to him. even by just seeing how he was acting right now. I knew whatever happened was bad news. Julia asked to speak with Harlyn so she didn’t come downstairs with me but I was fine with that, I didn’t want her to listen to any bad news that Damien might have for me. I should be happy right now. Harlyn finally forgave me. She let me hug her. Let me kiss her. My heart had been full and then Julia had to come in and tell me Damien wanted to see me. I honestly didn’t think that Harlyn will let me off so soon but the moon goddess gave me a considerate mate and I was one lucky fucker. With everything that happened with her, she could have told me to fuck off but she didn’t and I promised myself that I would make sure she never regrets giving me a second chance. Right now, I have a pack and kingdom matters to deal with. I
Harlyn Bernardo was tense and so was his friend. They haven’t said anything to me just yet about why we suddenly had to return to the Crimson Moon but I already figured out that whatever it was. It was bad news. We were about to board the plane and I couldn’t help but think about how it was different now. I couldn’t remember how I arrived at the Orange Moon pack because I had been unconscious when I came in but the guards and the driver who had taken me out of the Crimson Moon drove me to the hotel where I had stayed and left me there and now, I was going back in the King’s private jet. What an upgrade.“Hey, baby,”Bernardo said. He reached for my hand. He had been on the phone earlier. I gave him my hand and looked at him. He looked so stressed out already which further proved that whatever was going on back home was bad. “Hi,”I said. I still wasn’t used to him being sweet to me but I already made up my mind to give us a second chance and part of that would be to get used to him
Harlyn“What is going on over there?”Damien called out. I looked his way and realized he might not have heard everything that we were talking about but he definitely saw his friend going crazy. I shook my head as I wasn’t sure that I wanted to tell him but Bernardo looked his way and beckoned for him to come over. “What happened?”He asked as he took a seat closer to us. “I am a fool, Damien.”“What have you done again?’ Damien questioned, looking at the both of us. Bernardo finally stopped yanking at his hair and told Damien what I had told me. I didn’t even know when he did it but Damien dragged his finger through his wrist and tossed it towards me. I looked at Bernardo and he nodded. When I looked back at Damien's hand, it was bleeding. He wiped the blood off with his other hand and looked at me. I wordlessly placed my hand over the place where he had injured and waited. When I removed my hand, Damien had a distinct look of wonder in his eyes. His mouth was wide open. He tried
HarlynTheo was stubborn and always getting in trouble. His pack was the smallest but the ones who got more in trouble. It was even crazier because his father who used to be the beta before he took over was a good man. I often wondered how such a man would birth a son like Theo. He always looked and acted like a rebel and at some point, there were rumors that he wanted to break away from the Crimson Moon pack. He was obviously summoned and he denied it. it had been all over the palace and that’s how I found out. “The more you talk about Theo, the more I think he might do something crazy if you don’t stop him,”Damien said. “Something like trying to go rogue?”I asked and Damien nodded. “He won’t dare. He won’t be the first to try and they all end up regretting it. he knows what kind of consequences awaits him if he ever tries something like that,”Bernardo growled beside me. I looked at him and he looked very much like the feared, powerful ruler of the Crimson Moon. His eyes met mi
HarlynWe were both escorted to a waiting car and the drive to the clinic where the injured pack members were didn’t take up to five minutes.“Alpha,”A voice said when we got to the entrance of the clinic. Even though I hadn’t had him speak a lot, I recognized his voice. Theo. The beta of the sub-pack who got attacked. He was tall and slim with a masculinity that didn’t rob off on me nicely. When his eyes came to me, I felt the need to hide behind Bernardo who noticed my discomfort and growled at him. He quickly averted his eyes.“What happened here, Theo?”Bernardo asked.“An attack!”Theo answered. He sounded disrespectful. He didn’t even greet Bernardo properly even though he should have. But Bernardo didn’t seem to mind so I didn’t give it much thought.“How could you let something like that happen? Where were you when your pack members were attacked and how come you didn’t involve the council of elders and other betas?”Bernardo growled. “I didn’t let it happen it happened beca
Harlyn I opened my eyes when I heard the man gasping. When my eyes met his, he had a look of awe in his eye. I looked to check if he was okay. “Hey? Do you still feel any kind of pain?”I asked. He answered by taking off one of the bandages and showing me completely flawless skin. It was my turn to let out a gasp. I stepped aside when he tried to get out of the bed and heard a couple of more gasps from the others in the room. The room soon erupted in murmurs. I knew why. They each wanted to be the next. My eyes went to Bernardo who stood in the corner to give me space to do my thing and he had a proud look which made my heart swell. It still felt surreal but I was really doing this. I didn’t know the first about being a healer but I was healing the members of my pack. I walked to the man next to the one I just healed. His injuries were less than the others. I placed my hand on him and closed my eyes. Once again. I was greeted with a vision. He was fighting too. two bears this time
Bernardo I carried Harlyn into the suite that was reserved for us. We couldn’t go back to the palace today because I had a lot of things to take care of. Harlyn already did a lot for the pack and she wasn’t even queen yet. I watched her heal every man in that room earlier and marveled at how someone so important was mated to me. I realized just how lucky I was when each man that got healed came to me smiling. The pack members that got attacked were so certain that they would die when their healing power did not kick in and the doctors were unable to do anything for them either. All Harlyn had to do was place a hand on them and they were good to go. I laid her on the bed and sat near her. pushing the hair out of her face. She looked calm in her sleep. Earlier when I saw her collapse, I had been so scared that she had used all her strength to heal them but Damien had showed up right on time and told me that she would be okay and that it was the effect of her healing so many wolves at
Bernardo Thanks to my beautiful mate, the fucker was able to walk in with his legs and not a wheelchair. I wasn’t really happy about it. I wanted him to suffer a little for the misfortune he brought to the pack because he couldn’t control his libido or at least pick someone not taken. “I brought him here to tell us everything that he knows. The search has been fruitless so far and the only lead we got is from him.”I told them and they all nodded. “So? Are you going to tell us?”I turned to him. He looked scared. As he should because I was so close to tearing him apart too. “I didn’t do it. Yes, I brought a woman that was mated to a bear to the pack but that’s not what caused the fight. Annie’s mate doesn’t even want her. He rejected her and abused her. I found her. nurtured her back to health and brought her back to the pack with me. I didn’t touch or sleep with her.”I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. Did he really think he could tell such lies and get away with it? Well, he
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
