Chapter Thirty-Nine-
Oliver POV
“Luna” I turn my head to see Ireland walking by after exiting the packhouse, look at Isabelle and greet her. If looks could kill Isabelle would be dead. She then continues to walk quickly to a White Jeep with no roof or doors parked off to the side. I see her jump into the drivers side with Chris in the passenger seat. She pulls out quickly without a glance back at us. I can’t stop the annoyance that bubbles up at seeing them leave together.
“Oh no Oliver you didn’t tell her about me?”
“I honestly didn’t have time and to be honest it hasn’t been my focus.”
“You have no idea what you have done?”
Chapter 40-Ireland’s POVMy eyelids feel heavy as I force them open, thankful that the light in the room is dim. I grunt as I try to move myself to a sitting position realizing I am in a bed. I see movement in the room and realize I am in my room. I see Erik and Chris close to the bed, Lilly is off to the side, Zander behind her with his arms wrapped around her waist, Elder Rose sat in a chair near the bed and in the far corner in the room stood Oliver head down in the shadows.Elder Rose spoke first “my dear sweetheart tell us what happened?”I turned to her, “I was coming back to my room when I saw…” The words catch in my throat. Chris hands me a glass of water, I take a few drinks. “Any way I saw
Chapter Forty one-Erik POVIf I could kill him without causing her any pain then I would do it without hesitation. He has her staying in her old room and then he obviously does not tell her about Isabelle. When I heard that lil wolf call her Luna Isabelle I thought I could turn right there and rip his throat out. He really made that worthless former mate of mine his Luna. Well I guess they deserve each other. I don’t know why I had listened to Jason and Jackson when they would tell me how much he changed. I was actually hopeful and rooting for him. I had been waiting for the right time to approach the topic of forgiveness with Ireland. I pick up the chair in my grandmother's dining room and throw it at the wall effectively breaking it into pieces.“Erik are you okay bab
Chapter 42Oliver POV“OLIVER!!!!! NOOO!!!!” those words falling from her lips in a scream have me on my knees. She wants him to hold her, that is what I think I feel like my heart is breaking. I go to stand and leave feeling completely unwanted. However when I look out at her I see she is asleep, screaming and trying to pull out of Chris’s gasp. I immediately became angry that she was trying to get away from him.“Let her go!” I said quietly seething not wanting to wake her.“I can’t”“I said let her go!”“I can’t you don’t understand.”
Chapter 43-Ireland POVFriends! Did I really agree to be his friend? I am growling at myself internally as I tie my tennis shoes. I have to admit hearing that I was not replaced with that crazy Isabelle and hearing him call me his Luna almost had me jumping onto him and accepting him. I can’t however I am afraid this all due to guilt and not love. I have so many insecurities when it comes to him. I have put my guard down before and all I did was get hurt. I look down and look at my chest, the faint scratches a reminder of just how bad this man can hurt me. I let out a deep breath and throw on a loose V-neck t-shirt before looking at the clock and seeing that I have just 5 minutes to be out for training and take off running out of my room to the training field throwing my hair in a messy bun.
Chapter Forty Four-Ireland POVI had to leave the room after my conversation with Oliver the way he was looking at me had me wanting to strip down naked and beg him to take my body. I have spent hours in therapy to help me feel comfortable with becoming intimate again and comfortable with myself. However when I am around Oliver I feel like the counseling was unnecessary as I don’t think of all the things they did to me. I just think about him erasing all of it with his touch maybe it is a mate thing. I feel like I am constantly fighting myself to stop myself from throwing myself at him, I wish I could trust my feelings and or trust Oliver for that matter.I hear him enter the bathroom and the shower start pouring so I quickly begin to get dressed. I noticed that some of
Chapter Forty- FiveOliver POV-It’s been a few weeks with us trying to be friends and the more I get to know her the more I feel like a fool for ever thinking there was someone better out there for me. I can hear her singing in her room. I can’t help but stop to listen. I have learned she often sings what she is feeling. Right now she is singing “I Hate This” by Tenille Arts. I listen to the words of the song carefully god I hope she is singing those for me. It is just 4 days til the full moon festivities start. The visiting packs will be coming which means that Isabelle will also visit. I need to make sure to talk with Ireland before that happens. I don’t want her to be caught off guard again. Plus I need to work up the courage to ask her to be my date for the ball. I hope she will accept she has been
Chapter 46-Ireland POV “Noo please baby come back please.” I hear these words over and over while I am surrounded by darkness. I just keep walking toward the sound of Oliver's voice. I feel like I am walking forever. I keep trying to call out to him letting him know I am coming but I can’t even hear my own voice just him.All of the sudden the darkness is gone and I am back by that beautiful waterfall. Lying on the ground next to me sleeping is Belle. I reach my hand out tears in my eyes and stroke her beautiful fur. She stirs awake, looks at me sleepy and places her large head onto my lap. I lean down and bury my face in her fur crying.“My dear sweet heart what are
Chapter Forty Seven-Jackson POVI hated to leave the fight but Alpha needs to know what is going on. I did manage to kill two rogues before I left. I am so afraid for my friends, for my mate. I know Jason is an amazing fighter but I still worry. As I run I can feel every blow that my mate feels I share in his pain as well as I feel every moment of triumph he feels against his opponent; it is the magic of the mate bond. It also allows me to know that he is alive and fighting, he is fighting for our pack, for our friends and for our family and for me. I shift when I near the pack house and grab a pair of basketball shorts that are kept in a basket by the door. I run as fast as I can screaming for the Alpha, the house is dead silent no doubt the pack had already been alerted through mindlink by Zander or Lilly. I curse my Alpha i
