MasukChapter 23Harper“Why are you out here? You know it’s not really safe,” Pedro said after a few second of silence, his voice hoarse and breathy they sent sparks all over me. I clamped my thighs shut. “I just wanted a change of scenario,” I said looking away to him. “ I don’t know what it’s like to feel free anymore. It’s like I’m in a prison.”Pedro’s eyes lingered on me and it made me overly conscious of myself. “And I was feeling specially happy today. I don’t know why…but today seems different.”“Is that so?” He asked before grabbing my hand and pulling me to walk with him. Sparks shot up my arms, his rough callous palm angulfing my smaller ones. For a moment, I couldn’t think. My mind went into a deep haze and I found myself leaving more into his warmth. I didn’t want to hope that something would happen between us. He had made it clear what I was to him. But I couldn’t stop the pull between us. Right now, the bond intensified with sine sort of electric current. “Memphis told m
Chapter 22Harper’s pov I was a mess!Well… the embroidery to be exact. I didn’t know exactly what I was doing wrong, but the fabric that sat across my lap looked like something I had embroidered blindly. For the past two weeks, I have spent my time learning new things. First it was art. I had taken a liking to still life drawings and tried to paint a few objects, but it all just ended up a disaster. I had tried several other hobbies but it never went well. Until sewing. Embroidering the design on the cloth wasn’t too hard until I could tell if the design was a flower or a rabbit. The book of embroidery designs sat in front of me, and I stared at it with a frown on my face. I didn’t like how my life was going. I was bored to death. But I didn’t dare to complain. Seraphina hadn’t cornered me since that day, and somehow that felt like something to be grateful for. A few minutes later, my food was placed in front of me, and the aroma of the delicious creamy pasta immediately waft
Chapter 21Pedro’s povI had traced my mothers family trees and only recently Todd I found out that she wasn’t what she posed to be. If I were to be more frank with my words, she was a fraud. Seraphina's father, my grandfather, had mated with an omega. To the world, Seraphina was the daughter of two great betas, a pure blood who was fit fur a king and alpha. But that was all a lie they conjures up to climb up the rank without being questioned by the higher councils. “What are you onto, Pedro?” My mother snapped, her nails digging into her palms I feared it would draw blood. “You know what I’m onto, mother. You constantly ridicule Harper for being a low wolf. A dirty omega. But you forget that your mother— the one who gave birth to you, was also an omega who just had the grace of falling into the heart of a promiscuous beta!” I countered calmly, watching her face fall with fear. “N—no. That’s a lie. That woman wasn’t my mother. My mother is the legitimate wife of my father!” She sh
Chapter 20Pedro’s POV Even with the massive cloak on her back, she still looked beautiful. Her green eyes shining like that of an angel. And I couldn’t stop myself from yearning for her. Feeling her soft smooth skin against my rough hands. Not even the thick cloak could protect her from my heavy piercing gaze. I wanted this woman more than I needed my breath and it killed me everyday to keep my distance from her. When my mother suddenly showed, making Harper’s bright smile drop from her face, I felt my entire body go tense. I had wanted to watch her smile like that forever, but my mother just had to spoil the whole mood. My mother was still so reluctant to accept Harper as my mate. She had never really liked any of the women I had brought home, so it didn’t really surprise me when she let out her distaste for Harper. But Harper was different, and that was what I had been trying to make her see for weeks now. All those other women were just random. They weren’t my mate. The mome
Chapter 19Harper’s pov“You…” Seraphina gritted out like it hurt to call my real name. I let a small smile crawl up my face. I did t know why I always felt satisfied when I made her mad. “My lady,” I made a show of bowing down to her, my hands tucked under my belly. When I looked up, she was glaring at me, her face morphed into sonethinf filled of hatred. For a brief second, I wondered why she hates by that much. Her lips stretched into a thin line, almost like a grimace. “Where have you been hiding. You’ve been scarce,” she commented. An outsider watching us would think she asked out of concern, but I knew better. This woman would rather have be dead. “I’ve just been trying to stay of your way. I’m sure the last thing you want is you seeing me every day. That would probably mean a bad omen for you.”The moment the words fell out of her lips, I saw her eyes twitched with uncontained fury. I mentally gave myself a pat on the back.The alpha’s mother looked behind me to the people
Chapter 18Harper’s pov“Tell me…if you had a choice to rip my heart out and get rid of this bond between us, would you do it?” I croaked m, looking up at Pedro like he was my life line. I hated feeling this pathetic. I hated that he had this much control over me. I hated that I couldn’t go a day without thinking about him…if he was entertaining other women or if he felt the void towards my absence. I wanted to rip my own heart apart. Even as I stood there , my eyes with hot tears and my heart aching from the brutal blow of his words…I still felt the pull of the mate bond. I could hear my own wolf’s silent whimpering. She wanted Jonas much as I did. And he just stood there, face void of any emotion, not caring what he did to me. Did he not feel it at all?Did he not feel that familiar stab in his heart? I wondered if his wolf was as heartless as he was. A mates wolf was the most emotional between the duo. No wolf could ignore its mates pain. But it seemed like Pedro’s own was diff
Chapter 16 Pedro’s povI stormed to the living room expecting to see Council Ersham but to my surprise, my close friend José stood by the corner, a drink in his hand, and an amused smirk playing on his lips. “Why did you look like you just survived an apocalypses of vampires, my friend?” he chuc
Chapter 14Pedro’s povErsham’s lips tightened into a scowl before he pulled out what looked to be a tabloid. I quickly pulled it out of his hand and saw it was a tabloid containing names of the women they thought were reputable enough to get with me.Before I could say another word of disagreement
Chapter 12 Pedro’s pov Harper was nowhere in the palace. It was almost like she had disappeared from the face of the earth. I could still recall how her face crumbled when she saw me with Amber. I could feel her pain through the bond and at that moment I knew I would have done anything to clea
Chapter 10Harper’s povI awkwardly looked at Pedro but he was busy glaring at his father.Did the thought of claiming me irritate him that much?I didn’t know how to feel about that revelation. It was obvious the bond between us was very strong. Sometimes, I could feel him tug on it when he couldn
