These Chapters were supposed to be published tomorrow but I think I messed up the timers, ... Sorry for the mix up in chapters. I've fixed the issue and I hope the changes will update but if not, you can delete and add it again. Thanks.
Candace's POVBeing Luna is not as easy as I originally thought. I had to be nice to people I hated just not to blow my cover and I had to associate with those rogues who just worship Caliana; however, it was all worth it knowing that I'll be with Edward at the end of the day. Merabi entered my office to give me the budget for this month. I sighed in irritation, it's a good thing I mastered Caliana's signature. Took me a whole month to do that by the way. I approved the budgets and signed the cheques that were to go to different departments.By the time I finished all my work, I'm exhausted. Alpha Edward didn't call today, he's been distant lately, and has been having constant headaches and chest pains. 'You're not his mate, and if Caliana is out there, crying for him, he feels her pain,' My Lycan said. I was happier when she was quiet. 'No, Jon said her car slid off the road so assumed she died, so I'm safe,' 'You are such a fool, Caliana is part of this pack and if she was dead,
Caliana's POVA month, a whole month has gone by since I've been here and I thought I'd heal by now but no, I was broken as I was the first day. I don't feel the pain of my mate's betrayal as much as I used to and it was a relief. My stay at the Grey Lycan Pack has not been too eventful. I rarely leave the house, and when I do, I take strolls by the lake with Tristin, Blanco, or Pauline, my attending omega, she's as lovely as a peach. I was sitting by the window, reading a novel as Alpha Blanco played the soft piano for me like he usually does. I tried shutting him off for the whole month he's been here but he was persistent and I just let him be a friend to me. He visits me almost every evening and we'll dine together, or just talk. If not, he'll play the piano for me as I like, his music calms me. He never got tired of being kind to me. Pauline told me that his lovers are jealous of me because their master doesn't pay them any attention. "How do you manage to handle so many ladies
Caliana's POV"Then why hasn't he officially rejected you, yet?" I have thought about that too. If he wanted me out of his life, he could have easily rejected me. A rejection is done face to face. He could have completely severed the bond and spared me the pain but it just showed how vicious he was by not doing that. He wanted to torment me still, he wanted me to feel pain every time he fucked her. "To plague me, maybe," I sighed. "But he has no reason to, you didn't hurt him at all," "I don't understand Edward's way of thinking honestly and I don't even want to. I just want to forget him," I did but it wouldn't be this easy because of the pain I feel each time he is with another woman. I hated to think about it. "But what if there is a conspiracy to break you two apart?" "Oh dear, cupid, there was no scheme, he has another Luna as we speak right now," I could almost taste the bitterness on my tongue as I spat those words. I remember crying when Emilia told me that Candace is his
Candace's POVLittle Love ran to me and wrapped her small arms around my waist. "Mommy, I missed you," Love and Caliana had a great relationship, while I didn't. I inhaled and got one knee to hug her "I missed you too, how was camp," I asked. "It was so cool! Thank you for letting me go!" She jumped up and down. I stood up and asked the chef to prepare some food and when I went to my bedroom, she followed. What?! I groaned inwardly. Love told me every little detail that happened at the camp and I always repressed a groan or rolled my eyes. I don't understand kids honestly, what's so special about dancing and telling stories around the campsite? "I met a cute boy and his name is Ellis, he's so cute and he gave me a tulip!" She exclaimed and I gasped, mirroring her expressions and clapping. I opened my arms and she hugged me. "So tell me about this boy," "He's so adorable but way older than me so we can't be boyfriend and girlfriend," She told me and I narrowed my gaze at her"What
Caliana's POV"The Gem ball is held at least once in six months, it is a celebration for not only the harem ladies but all the ladies in the pack, they all wear the best designer gowns, only bright colors by the way and people will vote who is the prettiest," Pauline explained to me. We were in a clothes store in town, rummaging through all the dresses fiercely. She popped her head out and frowned "Unfortunately, Deloras wins every year," I scowled and groaned at the mention of that woman. As beautiful as she was, she was rotten inside. "Why is everyone buzzing about this gathering, it's just a stupid ball where girls kill themselves to impress men with dresses and others die due to failure of breathing, it's like we are back in early centuries!" "Well, the winner is usually Alpha Blanco's favorite and there is a possibility she might be his Luna," "So they just want to impress Blanco? What about the others who are not part of the harem," "They hope to be invited in the harem, be
Edward's POV "You're not my mommy," Love said suddenly, and all eyes on the table turned to her and then Cali, I think? I didn't miss how her heartbeat hitched. She immediately stood up and went to Love's side, getting on one knee but my daughter didn't let her touch her and ran to me, I held her. "She's not Cali, daddy," She was more convinced than ever. I didn't doubt my daughter because everything has been off lately with 'Caliana,' My brothers were stunned. " Love whatever do you mean?" "Hey sweetheart, what do you mean? That's Cali," Marcus said, seeing how upset Love was. "But she's not MY Cali, my mommy,' She exclaimed, growling. All blood drained from Caliana's face and my Lycan stirred in my mind. He was snarling. I didn't move or say a word, I didn't know what to say. She was Caliana, and everything about her was my mate'But?' Ward asked. 'Her eyes, her laugh, Caliana's had a certain tone to it, it was short and low, the tingles,' I countered. What the fuck was goin
Edward's POV I was mortified. I was fucking ashamed that I lived with a woman for more than a month that wasn't my real luna. My heart constricted in my chest and all I wanted to do was scream in rage or breakdown into darkness, however, I couldn't right now so I did the best thing I could. I grabbed a bedside lamp and threw it against the wall and it broke into pieces. Soon, the other furniture followed. I sat in the dark room, cursing myself at what I did. My mate probably thinks the worst of me and she should, how can I ever face her after what I did? After the pain, I put her through. I buried my face into my hands, and all emotional strength left me by now. The door soon opened and my brother, Jamal, walked in. He sighed at the sight of my room and got on one knee in front of me. " It's not your fault, Edward," He assured me but I scoffed. " I was fooled, again, and I don't know where my mate is, I'm sure she thinks the worst of me. My Caliana hates me," " Candace planned this
Edward's POV"Alpha Edward, what brings you here so late at night?" The head patrol warriors asked. A few warriors now surrounded him, ready for anything. "I'm here for my mate," I said. Jamal cleared his throat and gestured for me to stay quiet, he knew I didn't have time to converse or linger. "Good evening gentlemen, as my brother said, we are here to see your new Alpha," My brother said. The warriors exchanged wary glances and Jamal spoke again,"As you may know, she is my brother's mate and they had a misunderstanding as all lovers do, he just wants to speak to her, we come in peace," He explained patiently. My brother had a thing for people no wonder we worked well together, while I was irrational, he was calm. His aura made people listen and trust him. The head of the patrol nodded in understanding. His eyes darkened, showing that he was mind-linking, someone, maybe Caliana. "I'm sorry Alphas, but we can't let you in," He said apologetically. I didn't have time for this. Befo
