Bruno’s p.o.vAs we drove back home through the thick forest, it felt as if I was being suffocated by the trees. My mind was a whirlwind of emotions—anger, confusion, and hurt mixing inside me."What went wrong? How did our friendship come to this?" I thought to myself, clenching my fists tightly. "Or was it part of his plan to get close to me to have easy access?" My anger burned even more.When we got to the mansion, I turned to Marcel and said, "Get Daniel, I need you both in my study in ten minutes."I went inside and straight to my study. As I waited for my beta and gamma, I tried to think of ways to hurt the one who betrayed me, but my mind drew a blank for the first time.I heard a knock at the door, and said, "Come in." Marcel and Daniel entered, and I could see a subtle hint of anger in Daniel’s eyes."Your sister is safe, so you should be happy. Why do you still have a look of anger on your face?" I asked."She could have died, your highness," he said through clenched teeth.
Linda’s P.O.VMy insides froze as those words reached my ears: "If I were the woman who birthed her." Everything started spinning, and my stomach churned with sickness. I rushed to the bathroom, tears blurring my vision. "No, no, not again," I said, feeling broken and unable to handle any more pain.How could my mother not be my birth mother? How was that even possible?"Who is my birth mother then? What happened to her?" I wondered, sobbing loudly."Oh, moon goddess, please stop messing with me already," I pleaded, my hands clasped together as I looked up at the ceiling.I curled up on the floor and cried my eyes out until I eventually fell asleep.The next morning, I felt someone shaking me, but I couldn't move. My body ached all over. I heard distant shouting, but it sounded faint and far away. I tried to open my eyes, but the harsh sunlight stung, so I closed them again.Moments later, I felt myself being lifted from the floor and placed on the bed. The sheets covered me, and a we
Linda’s P.O.VThe next day, I went about my day and decided to confront Marcel about why he ignored me regarding Camille. I linked him and asked where he was. He said he was at the stables, and I headed there.I found him tending to a horse. "Marcel," I said, trying to appear angry."Luna," he greeted, bowing slightly. "How have you been? You seem upset."I rolled my eyes and said, "Of course, I'm upset, Marcel. I confided in you about my suspicions regarding Camille and you just brushed them aside dismissing them."He smiled and explained, "I didn't dismiss them, Luna. We investigated and found out she's innocent."I was shocked and asked, "Innocent? How?" "It turns out the dead maid was a spy planted in the mansion by the rogue leader. Camille found her diary that morning, exposing her as a spy. There was a confrontation in the kitchen, and Camille slapped her, leading to a quarrel. She had the maid's scent because of that. She rushed out of the scene because maids are prohibited f
Linda’s p.o.vI woke up to Bruno's naked body standing before me hurriedly wearing his clothes. Memories of last night flooded my mind. Panicking, I closed my eyes, hoping he wouldn't notice I was awake."My breathing became uneven, and my heart raced as I tried to calm down, hoping it was all just a dream."What have I done?" I panicked, tears threatening to fall. "Please, let this be a dream."I heard him curse as he left the room, and once I heard the door shut, I got up and went to the mirror. I checked my neck, desperately hoping it was all a dream. My heart sank as I saw his mark, and tears escaped my eyes. This can't be happening. How did I let this happen?Kiara's voice purred in my head, "Last night was epic. You should be feeling happy and fulfilled."Before I could reply to her, my stomach rumbled in hunger and I made my way to the kitchen.On my way to the kitchen, I ran into Marcel, “Luna, how are you today?" he asked. "I see you have the alpha's mark now," he said a sly
Bruno’s p.o.vI left Linda’s room, filled with anger and frustration. The events of the previous day kept replaying in my mind. That bitch! She tricked me into sleeping with her.Why did I apologize to her? I did nothing wrong. I slammed my fist on the table, frustration coursing through me."You need to calm down, she didn't do anything wrong. The heat caused this, and she's our mate. Why are you so upset? Don't ever treat her that way again," Blake growled angrily in my head.I ignored him; knowing arguing about Linda with him was pointless.I needed to let out my frustration, and the only way I could do that was through training.I went to my training room and trained so hard that I felt my frustration fading away, leaving me physically exhausted.Lying on the floor, I pondered on how to lessen the pull and effect of the mate's bond. Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain in my chest, and I doubled over in pain. Squeezing my eyes shut tightly, I tried to control my breathing.The pain stopp

Bruno’s p.o.vI stared at the council members in disbelief. How could they question my competence as an alpha? The rage began to build within me and I felt Blake stirred within me in anger.“How dare you?” Blake growled out in anger.The spokesman sighed, "Your Highness, we understand that this might be hard for you to accept, but we have a responsibility to the pack. These attacks have escalated, and now with a council member's daughter kidnapped, we must take swift action to ensure her safe return and also ensure the safety of our people. We need someone who is capable to take over.”I leaned forward, resting my elbows on the table, and clenched my fists in anger. "I am more than capable of handling this situation. My authority as alpha will not be questioned.”“I refuse to step down,” I stated firmly, my tone leaving no room for negotiation.A murmur of disagreement spread among the council members. It was clear that this decision was not taken lightly, and I was growing tired of t
Linda’s P.O.V I woke up in a room that smelled strongly of Bruno, I looked around in confusion wondering why I was in his room. Realization hit me as my eyes landed on Bruno and the events of that evening started pouring in.Bruno was still asleep and his hands were wrapped around me which was strangely comforting.I carefully sipped out of his grip and sat at the edge of the bed. Why did he ask me to sleep with him? Why did I even agree? My thoughts were interrupted by a soft growl from Bruno as he shifted in his sleep. I turned to look at him and with his furrowed brows and clenched fists, it seemed he was having a nightmare.I reached out and gently placed my hand on his chest, trying to calm him. “It’s okay Bruno, I’m here,” I whispered softly.After his growling subsided and he seemed calm, I stood up and left his room.What was I thinking? Why was I doing all of these for a man who has never accorded me any respect? Well, I’m sure it’s all because of Kiara.“It’s not me, I hav
