MasukOne seems malicious in her heart and the other looks like he is being turned malicious...
Gerard POV“Silja, stay with me! Look at me!”“Gerard, you lied. You never loved me.”“That’s not true! I love you! I love you more than my own life! Please believe me!”I see Silja walk away. She’s pregnant with my son, but she looks devastated. I’ve changed my life and live for her and our family, a family I have yet to meet.Suddenly, I see her sitting on a bench. Her eyes are hollow. Jaul comes up to her.“Come with me. I’ll keep you safe, Sils. You and your pup will still have a home,” he says.“No! No!” I screamed out.They don’t hear me. She gets up and takes his hand. He leads her away from the bench, but I can’t reach them.I’m suddenly pulled out of my dream. I’m panting and sweating. I’m terrified of what I just saw.“Ged. Did you see the dream too?”I frantically grabbed Silja and pressed her against the bed. I started kissing her urgently. When I pulled back, she was panting, and concern was etched on her face.“Silja, promise me you won’t doubt me. Tell me you know that
Silja POVDinner almost felt like a jury trial. I answered every question I could. I was only upset about the question about the multiple one-night stands. I was also embarrassed about having to explain that night, and my personal sex life.Gerard didn’t care, though. He was happy to back me up. I don’t believe for a second that one conversation with those present will be enough to change everyone’s opinion of me. My biggest hope, though, is that the conversations continue and people learn to make their own observations and later form their own opinions of me. I don’t want them forced into respecting me.As we left the dining hall and made our way back to our room, Gerard held my hand and looked at me with gentle eyes. When we entered the bedroom and closed the door behind us, he pulled me toward him lovingly. He wrapped his arms around my waist and then kissed my forehead.“You were amazing tonight, Sils. Pure grace and kindness.”I blushed, “Honestly, I didn’t do anything special. I
Gerard POVIt was evening, and Silja was accompanying me to the dining hall. As soon as we walk in, the room goes quiet. I grabbed Silja gently by the waist and spoke.“Good evening, everyone. Allow me to introduce Silja Wilde. She is my fated mate, your future Luna, and as you can see, the mother of my pup. Please show her the respect fitting of a Luna, or you will answer to me.”Everyone looked at Silja, and they all clapped lightly. Not very enthusiastic, and I know it’s because my mother or Trina had something to do with the way they are looking at Silja. I will have to get to the bottom of this, too. I feel like my investigations list keeps growing and growing.Erik and Romy walk in, and then Erik announces Romy is his mate, and the pack cheers joyfully for them. I clenched my jaw at the pack’s behavior. I look over at Silja, and she is looking down, staring at her food. She’s hurt. The pack is already against her, and she didn’t even get a chance to prove herself. This is going t
Silja POVWhen Gerard and Erik caught Romy and me in the library reading romance novels, at first, I was caught off guard, and I blushed. It was more of a surprise factor than anything else. Romy, however, looked very red.“Educational, my Luna?” Gerard asked with a smirk as he grabbed the book to read the page I was on. Funny enough, the page was describing how the man looked as he worked the fields.“Yes. Very, my alpha,” I replied as he started reading the page. I turn to look over at Erik, who now has Romy on his lap and is reading with her. She looks mortified.“So, reading a man’s description is educational?”“You don’t think the male anatomy should be learned?” I answered with a question.His eyes darkened, and then he bent down to my eye level, “The only male body you should study is mine.”“Oh, but there are so many lovely bodies to study. Don’t you want your Luna to be well-rounded?” I asked, with a smirk, as I saw his eyes grow very possessive.Erik and Romy are now chucklin
Jaul POVI’m in my office at Sinnett Group. I’m going over the paperwork that Gerard left for me. It feels more like grunt work, but he said he didn’t want me jumping right in and getting overwhelmed.He wanted me to provide the footnotes of the contract in front of me. He said he was going to read the whole thing himself afterwards, but wanted to see if I caught all the most important parts and call-outs.I’m elbows deep in the papers when Dad walks in and smiles at me, “How’s it going?”“Honestly, my head is spinning. I’m starting to understand it, though.”“Good.”“I’m sure that isn’t what is bringing you here, though, is it?” I asked.My dad points at the chair in front of my desk, “May I?”“Sure.”He sits down and then starts explaining Viola, Trina, and Gerard’s suspicions, and then goes into talking about the new alpha of Golden Dawn, Larken Stalus. Once he finished explaining, he sat back and crossed his arms, waiting for me to respond.I sat back in my chair and rested my arms
Gerard POVAs soon as I left Silja, I mind-linked Erik to meet me in my office. While I waited for him, my father came into the room.“Son, is Silja okay?”“Yeah. She’s fine. What the hell was that with mom?”“I think she feels threatened by Silja. I’m not sure why,” he replied.“She knew that one day she was going to have to step down from being Luna. Whether it was Trina or Silja, it wouldn’t have made a difference, but with Trina, she didn’t act this way. I think there is something more going on. This isn’t just because she dislikes Silja,” I said.“Where is Silja now?”“Our room. There are guards protecting the access to the alpha floor. Plus, I need to talk to you about Trina and who could be backing her.”Dad and I discuss Trina’s involvement with Larken and Golden Dawn. We also discuss what Larken could be getting out of this whole scenario. Dad surprises me with some of his thoughts.“What if Trina was acting like she was working with Donovan to kidnap Silja, but the entire tim
