Abby's POV

“Where’s your chain?” he said, eyes fixed on my neck.

I reached up instinctively. Oh Goddess! My neck was bare. I remembered holding the chain at the hotel, meaning… “I think I left it on the dresser.”

Hayden squinted, his eyes narrowing as he rolled his tongue along his upper lip, glaring at me like I’d just committed a war crime.

“I can quickly go back and….”

He suddenly shoved a berry into my mouth. I coughed, startled.

“That’s your punishment for taking it off at all,” he said flatly.

I stared at him, halfway choking and blinking in disbelief.

Without missing a beat, he turned toward Alex and Lucious, who were seated a few rows behind us. “Lucious, call the hotel. Have them check Abby’s room, she left the necklace I bought her on the dresser.”

Then he looked at me again, more serious now. “You’ll get it before the day ends.”

“Thanks,” I muttered, still chewing the berry he ambushed me with.

“Won’t Alex and Lucious be joining us?” I asked after a moment, glancing over a

  • Forsaken by the Moongoddess    This New 'Us'

    Abby's POVBang!“Abby!” A loud knock jolted me awake. I tried to rise but a strong arm held me down. Rubbing the sleep away, I found Hayden snoring softly beside me with his arm pinning me down like I could vanish in the middle of the night.His face calm and peaceful. Almost childlike.I chuckled. “Abby!” The familiar voice called again, followed by another bang on the door.I gently lifted Hayden’s arm off me. He didn't even stir despite the loud knock. He's completely knocked out and I didn't want to wake him up.I padded to the door, rubbing the remaining sleep from my eyes. I opened it.Valentina stood there looking like a cartoon witch. Her hair messy and dark circles heavy under her eyes. I guess she barely slept throughout the night.“Is Alpha here?” Her voice was sharp like a razor.Before I could respond, warm breath tickled my ear.“Why are you looking for me early morning?” Hayden’s deep, groggy voice rumbled behind me.I flinched. I didn't know when he got behind me. I

  • Forsaken by the Moongoddess    One More Chance

    Abby's POV I just stood there, watching Valentina breathe in and out slowly through her mouth just to calm herself down. Then, she started fanning herself with her hand.“Valentina.” I called softly but she didn't answer, so I continued. “Ca…can you please, change the condition? Hayden won't answer me.”“Then make him answer.” She snapped.I pressed my lips into a thin line. “Okay… give me this one more chance. I’ll fix this, I promise.”She threw me a deadly glare. “One more chance, huh? Okay. I’m watching you.”Then she stormed away. I released the air I didn't know I was holding in. Goddess. It's barely six hours since we were back from Kea and Valentina is already making things this hard. I let out a breath. Maggie's voice cut through my thoughts.“Mrs Roche.” She emerged with her eyes widened in surprise and her hands covering her mouth. Some maids followed closely behind her, smiling. “Oh goddess! We're glad you're our Luna.” She hugged me and suddenly gasped. She stepped bac

  • Forsaken by the Moongoddess    The Mate Announcement

    Abby’s POV “Alpha.” He handed the bag to Hayden. “The hotel in Kea had sent your necklace.” He said pulling the chain out and putting it on my neck.“It mustn't leave your neck again.” He said tapping my nose.I tilted my head. “Where’s yours? The one with the ‘A’ pendant?”“Uh?” He paused. “It should be in my suitcase. I haven’t had time to unpack.”“Alright… How’s Valentina?”He let out a breath. “Upstairs. Doctor said she needs rest.”I nodded.Just then, Maggie brought in the cookies and smoothies. She’d added ice cubes.Hayden watched as she filled a glass. Then he cleared his throat.“I don’t remember ever telling you I liked smoothies,” he said, raising a brow at her.“No, Alpha. But I know you do. You’ve asked me to make it for you countless times,” Maggie replied with a smile.“Aahh,” he nodded slowly. Then turned to me. “You told my wife, right?”“I didn’t,” she said, grinning. “It surprised me when she came home and suddenly wanted to make smoothies for you.”“Really?” He

  • Forsaken by the Moongoddess    Pieces and Promises

    Abby's POV I wanted to stay mad at Derek. I really wanted to. But the moment I heard his voice over the phone, full of remorse, something inside me softened.The council had suspended him temporarily from his Alpha position till further notice. And I feel sorry for him. I really did.He said he was leaving town for a while until he’d be reinstated. So, he wanted us to meet just to know if I’d truly forgiven him. But that could only happen outside Hayden’s pack. Somewhere neutral. Unless Derek wanted a death wish.But what reason could I give Hayden that would be convincing enough? He would never, ever allow me to go see Derek.Trying to figure out what excuse would work on Hayden, I wandered the pack. I decided to take a route I'd never taken since I arrived in this pack.Then I stumbled on Alex. He was just coming out of his… house. Yes, it had to be his house. It definitely fit someone like the Duskfire Pack’s second-in-command. A big mansion, though not as massive as Hayden’s.“To

  • Forsaken by the Moongoddess    I Don’t Lose

    Valentina’s POVHayden sat in a chair at the far corner of the hospital room, eyes glued to his tablet like I wasn’t even here.If that piece of shit he calls a wife hadn’t asked him to wait till I finished the drip, he would’ve left already and asked Maggie to come pick me instead.I clenched my teeth.Nothing had been fucking wrong with my health. And nothing is wrong with me now. It's been a deal with Dr. Nathan all along.Nathan isn’t the only one. Three of Hayden’s own wolves now report to me. Greedy fools. Don’t blame me for using their weakness, blame them for putting greed over loyalty.They know exactly what their Alpha does to traitors. But as always, greed wins everywhere. Anyway, that's not my problem, they know better than to get caught.My throat tightened. He still wasn’t looking at me. I’ve come this far… risked everything… just for him to still ignore me like some stranger?Most people don’t know the real Hayden Roche. But I do. I did my research. He’s not just rich,

  • Forsaken by the Moongoddess    The Alpha’s Protection

    Abby's POV Hayden’s silence must definitely mean I should do what Valentina just said.I couldn’t even pretend or stop my hands from shaking as I eventually picked the glass up to sip the water. Then I pushed the chair back slightly, ready to stand.But Hayden’s hand shot out, firm and unyielding, pressing gently against my forearm.“Sit,” he said, voice low. Commanding.My heart skipped. My eyes flicked to him.He didn’t look at me. His gaze was on Valentina now, cold and unreadable. “She’s not serving you anymore. Her punishment has been cancelled.”Valentina’s brow furrowed immediately. “Hayden. She stole from me, have you forgotten? And she was punished according to the pack’s code of conduct.”My lungs clenched as I looked at the two of them.“The code says she serves you until further notice. And I’m giving the notice now,” he said, his tone colder.Valentina scoffed and stood up. Her face drained of colour. She clenched her jaw. “Can’t believe you’re choosing a wolfless and we
