15. Self-hurt
Mia:
The soft rays of sunlight streaming into the room reminded me I’d been lying in bed for a long time and it was time for me to get up and start my day. But the will to do the needful was lost. A yawn escaped my lips and I stretched my limbs, making the comforter that had been covering my barely clothed body to roll down. My gaze swept the room before returning to thoughts of Giovanni for the umpteeth time that morning.
All night, thoughts of the man had deprived me of sleep with my body yearning for him. The moment I closed my eyes to sleep, I fell into a dream that could as well have been a nightmare. I dreamt he was killed by the masked man and when I woke up to realise it was a dream, I’d been scared to go back to sleep, fearing my dream would come to pass the minute I slept off.

Mated 16. Not a human Luna
Giovanni:My eyes remained on my mom, while I held on to Mia tightly. I’d wanted this to happen for a long time. I couldn’t stand keeping my mate from my mom and I hated how I couldn’t openly show my affection towards her, all because the pack members didn’t know if my relationship with the human girl. And I was going to change that. So in answer to my mom’s question, I told her all she needed to know.“Madre, she’s my mate and you cannot blame me, but the moon goddess. I realised the very first day I returned and you won’t hold any grudges against Mia because she’d been against this but I can’t let her go. You know this, Mi Amore,” I said in a calm voice, staring my mom in the eyes.For a short moment, her eyes drifted
Mated 17. Division
Mia:Giovanni pulled me and his mom from the packhouse into the main house, fuming from the pack members' reaction and rejection.“It’s okay, mi amore. They’ll come around. They're not used to having changes and want to stick to the tradition but they all know the moon goddess knows best,” his mom tried to assure him, looking into his eyes while I hid behind his back, secretly rejoicing that the people had rejected our union.Things were moving too fast since his mom caught us in the kitchen and I haven’t been in control of whatever was happening between us. I couldn’t let him get to the mating ceremony before breaking whatever we have off. It would be disastrous for him to get so attached to me. That wasn’t part of my mission and the more attached
Mated 18. Mating ceremony
Mia:The two days before the mating ceremony came so fast and it hurt to know that my time with him was gradually coming to an end. Looking at myself in the mirror dressed in a pretty white lace dress with a tulle skirt that covered my legs, and a crown of flowers resting on my hair, I looked so beautiful but the sadness was there in the depth of my eyes.It felt as though I was having a human wedding with Giovanni. The previous night, I’d asked him how I’ll be dressed and he told me he’d ordered a dress for me. I was shocked and excited at the same time. I knew it was a culture for all the werewolves to be in their wolf form during the mating ceremony but for me, he was going to be in his human form. A smile claimed my features at the thoughts, just as the door opened and he strolled in, a huge smile on his face. He was dressed in an ex
Mated 19. Nightmare
Five months laterMia:“Pl-please...” a sob broke out of my lips as I took a step back but the pack of wolves kept advancing on me, sneering at me and baring their canines.The closer they got, the more I stepped backward but they kept advancing on me, circling me in the process. Knowing my end had come, I fell to my knees on my shaky legs and wrapped my arms around myself, quivering and crying silently while pleading with them to let me be. Suddenly, I felt a presence before me. Daring to raise my head, I saw Zander, his dark brooding eyes fixed on me, and the malice and vicious way he glared at me sent a shiver down my spine, my heartbeat thudding erratically.“I-I’m ssso...” I attempted apologizi
Mated 20. Therapy
Mia:It was just 9 am in the coffee shop and it was still buzzing with different customers as it was a Monday morning and they were all hurrying to get a quick breakfast before heading to their places of work. I was at the counter taking records of sales, while Mandy, my co-worker, and friend, worked the booths, taking care of the customers' orders. She’d just gotten round to take their orders when she sauntered towards me, with a smile on her face and a twinkle in her eyes.“Omigod, Mia, you’ve got to see the customer on the fourth booth,” she drawled, fanning herself to mean he was super hot. “He’s mouth-wateringly, panty melting-ly hot. I mean the kind that got your panties soaked from just the first glance. And those dark eyes, oh boy, they almost made me moan out loud from the sensations they awakened in me the mom
Mated 21. Wrong place, right time
Mia:“You okay?” Sam asked, placing his free hand on my leg and squeezing softly , in an attempt to try to take away the nerves threatening to choke me but instead, they revved up. He stared into my my eyes for a while before returning his attention to the road, driving with one hand on the steering wheel while the other one remained on my leg.We were on our way to the therapist’s office and I just couldn’t stop my heart from beating widely against my chests. I’d had nightmares last night but this time, not of the wolves threatening to devour me, but of the man I’d seen at the diner, whose face I couldn’t place. But for some reason, the sight hunted me in my dreams, without a face. This had further convinced me to see a therapist, yet, I was skeptical of the outcome.
Mated 22. Alive
Giovanni:My eyes remained on her face, watching her like a hawk while she slept, looking so peaceful. It had been a shock to see her at my doorstep after so many months of not having her in my life. At a point, I’d considered she was dead and I blamed myself every day for being responsible for that, telling myself if I hadn’t bitten her when I’d panicked, she might have still been alive. But now, she was here in my bed and I felt as though my heart just started working after five months.I tucked a stray hair behind her ear and leaned down to kiss her forehead before rising from my seat beside her, on the bed. Stripping off the sweats pants I’d quickly pulled on when she’d announced her arrival, I walked into the bathroom, a happy smile stretching me lips_something I hadn’t known in a while.
Mated 23. Hiding
Mia: “Thank you for the ride,” I muttered to him, desperately avoiding his gaze as I attempted to dash out of the car but he quickly grabbed my arm, pulling me back to my seat, his hand resting heavily on my leg. My eyes flew to his, and I gulped. They portrayed a determination that I knew wouldn’t be deterred. He wanted me back and while that should be a good thing, I couldn’t let it happen. Not after everything I’d done. Ending our relationship at this point was the best way out, although my traitorous heart and betraying body were screaming a different thing. “When do you close from work?” he asked, his fingers lightly caressing my leg and for a moment, I was grateful for the leggings I was wearing. “By 12 noon,” I lied, licking my lips and meeting his eyes, hoping he wouldn't detect it.
