Monika Pov's .Ryan will drive me crazy someday. I almost lost control over myself and forgot I was mad at him, but thanks to Anika, who reminded me how he left us alone in pain when we needed him the most.I sat on the couch near the window and looked outside to divert my mind from Ryan but ended up thinking about him and his actions."Be honest, Anika... Are you mad at him for pushing us away or because he left us alone in pain?" I asked."I think both the reasons are enough to kill him" I laughed at the choice of her words and nodded, agreeing with her. "Maybe I would've forgiven Ryan for pushing us away because, as he said, it was Wild, not him, who came close to us, but after how he left us alone, Ryan's reaction increased my anger. He made me feel like we are not human but a toy with whom he loves to play." Anika hissed in anger."I called him ruthless for a reason," I muttered and picked my novel from the side table. The only good thing about my Ruthless Alpha is that he made

Her smile vanished when instead of Aana, Aaron opened the door."Monika" Aana came from behind and pushed Aaron aside to hug Monika, bringing a smile to Monika's face while Aaron was looking at Aana dumbstruck, not expecting her to push him like this."How was your trip?" Aana asked. Monika l
Author Pov's .Monika stood up from the bench to go to her room when her eyes went to Gabriel. She blushed when she caught him staring at her, unaware he wasn't doing it but lost in thoughts of his ex-fated mate, Rose."Gabriel" Monika called him, bringing him back to the world."Yeah" "Why are you standing there? Come sit beside me" She offered. He nodded and sat beside her."What are you thinking?" She asked."Nothing special," he muttered. Didn't want to hurt Monika by telling her the truth that he was thinking about Rose."Ohh.. Okay," She replied and sat straight."I can't believe you're thinking of giving Gabriel a chance or coming into a relationship with him.” Anika scowled and shook her head.“Huh?” Monika frowned.“It's nothing but foolishness, Monika. You both don't even have topics to talk about," Anika grunted. Monika looked at Gabriel who looked back at her when he felt her eyes on him."What happened?" he asked. She shook her head and rubbed her hands anxiously. He to
Author Pov's .Monika went dumbstruck when Anika started calling for his mate. She shook her head."No... We can't meet our mate" Her words shocked Anika. "What do you mean?" Anika asked."I promised Gabriel we would never leave him. I can't go with my fated mate" Monika mumbled."I didn't make any promises. It was you, and I'm going to meet my mate," Anika hissed and started fighting with Monika to take control."No... We are not going to meet our fated mate" Monika said, trying her best not to let Anika control."I don't care what you promise to Gabriel or what you want. My mate is here and I will not miss this chance to meet him." Anika said stubbornly."Don't force me to use wolfsbane, Anika""You know we need to meet him and I can't control this desire... Please Monika, let's meet him... I beg you... Please" Anika pleaded. Monika sighed and nodded, agreeing to meet with Ryan but Anika didn't know that Monika got ready because she was thinking of rejecting him for Gabriel."Let
Author Pov's . "Alpha", Anika called Aaron and knocked on the door. Tears were streaming from her eyes. She was scared for Ryan as he was losing blood. Aaron opened the door. His eyes shot up seeing Anika in control and crying. "Luna" Anika pushed him aside and went towards Aana. "My mate," she whimpered. "What happened? why are you crying?" Aana asked her. "I'm Anika, Monika's wolf. My mate is severely injured and bleeding," Anika replied. "What?" Aana asked and took Anika's hand in hand to console her. "But how?" "I don't know," Anika sobbed. "Gabriel, take him to our pack hospital," Aaron ordered his beta, who was standing a little distance, watching everything silently. "He wasn't ready to go," Anika yelled. "He wants to meet you, Luna" "Me?" Aana asked, pointing her finger at herself and looking at Anika in bewilderment. "Yes, he is adamant to meet you. He put a condition that he would not get himself treated until you meet him. Please, Luna, meet him.
Author Pov's.Monika was waiting for Gabriel's reply but he didn't say a word to her. She broke the hug and passed him a smile. He looked at her and caressed her hair like a best friend, then kissed her forehead."You can choose him if he makes you happy," He said. Monika shook her head and took his hand in her hands."Your happiness matters to me, Gabriel. I will reject him as soon as he gets conscious" "You don't need to" He uttered."Huh?" she looks at him in bewilderment."I--I mean to say I'm happy you are going to reject him for me," Gabriel lied and closed his eyes in guilt, realising this was not what he wanted to say."Is everything okay?" she asked, noticing how anxious he was while talking to her."No" He answered and shook his head and then took a deep breath to talk to her calmly."This is not what I wanted, Monika. I asked you to choose me because" Before he could complete, a warrior mindlinked him, informing him about the attack on the border. His eyes shot up when he
Author Pov's . Monika was looking at Ryan, trying to figure out what she should say to him. That's when she noticed he closed his eyes again. "Ryan" She panicked and rushed towards him. "Ryan," She looked at Sneha, who was treating him. "He just opened his eyes and looked at me. Then what happened? Why is he not opening his eyes again?" she asked, getting panicked. Anika's condition was not different. She was as afraid as Monika of losing Ryan. "Monika... Relax" Sneha said and kept her hand over her shoulder. "What do you mean relax?" Monika snarled and pushed her hand away. "He is fine," Sneha muttered, trying to calm Monika. "Then why did he go unconscious?" Monika asked and looked back at Ryan, who was lying unconscious and covered in bandages. "It's because I gave him medicines and injections so that he can take proper rest." Monika took a relieved breath upon hearing Sneha. "Don't worry he is fine and will recover with time. Be patient" Sneha muttered and left the room
Author Pov's . Monika was sitting beside Ryan, looking at him. Somewhere in her heart, she wanted to know him and give a chance to the person whom Moon Goddess chose for her, but the thought of Gabriel was stopping her. She was feeling guilty for even thinking about Ryan, feeling like she was cheating on Gabriel. Also, Alice is mad at her, making the situation worse for her. "Ahh" Ryan groaned in pain before opening his eyes. A smile appeared on Monika's lips as finally he woke up after six hours of unconsciousness. Ryan blinked his eyes to get used to the light, then started getting panicked after seeing unfamiliar surroundings and an unknown woman sitting beside him. "Who are you?" He asked, trying to sit in which Monika helped him. Suddenly, his body relaxed when she touched him. It was like her touch was enough to calm his anxious soul. "My wolf was the one who saved your life and brought you here," she replied. He frowned, and then his eyes shot up, remembering everything
Author Pov's ."Jenny" She ran back to her room before Monika could say anything or try to fix the damage she accidentally caused."Mom" Monika turned her head towards her mother. "she heard everything" "Go talk to her," Olivia said. Monika nodded and ran behind Jenny to her room. Monika was about to knock on the door but stopped when she saw Jenny lying on the bed, crying while hugging her teddy. Her tears were enough to twitch Monika's heart in pain. Monika wiped her tears and took a deep breath to calm herself. She went inside and sat beside her princess."Princess", She called Jenny lovingly, who hid her face in a teddy bear. "Princess.. Please look at your Mommy," Monika muttered, feeling her voice getting heavier because of the tears she was holding in front of her daughter. She pulled Jenny into her lap forcefully when Jenny didn't look at her despite her continuous request. Jenny hid her face in Monika's chest while sobbing in the same way as Monika did before with her mo
Author Pov's .Monika was trying to engross herself in work, sitting inside her cabin, not wanting to think about Ryan, but nothing was working. Ryan's face, smile, eyes and the moment she spent with him were ruining her peace of mind. At last, she closed her laptop frustratingly and went back home."You came at the right time… Let's have dinner" Before Jenny's mom, Olivia, could finish, Monika went towards her room, not wanting to show her distressed face to her mother."What happened to her?" Monika heard her mother mumbling to herself because of her amazing hearing power but she didn't stop. She closed the door of her room with a thud and sat on the couch, breathing heavily."I wish I could tell him I wasn't playing any victim card, but my destiny made me a victim," Monika whispered and an unwanted tear rolled from her eyes when she realised how doomed she was when it came to love."It's okay, Monika… You're strong. Stop crying like a weakling" She motivated herself and wiped her
Author Pov's .(Flashback continues after 5 years of Ryan and Monika's separation and one month before Monika and Ryan's marriage).Monika was sitting on a chair in her office, working on her laptop, when her mom, Olivia, dashed inside her office fuming in anger."What are you doing here?" Olivia shouted, startling Monika who stood up from her chair."You scared me, Mom" She kept her hand on my chest to calm her racing heart. "Why are you looking at me with so much love?" She asked when her mom was glaring at her."Aren't you forgetting something?" Olivia asked and encircled her hands around her chest. Monika scrunched her eyebrow and checked her mobile to see what she had planned for today. Her eyes shot up when she realised what she had forgotten."I'm dead" She looked at her mom with a terrifying look. "How could you forget such an important day, Monika?" Olivia growled. "Mom, I promise to hear all your lectures after returning. Right now, I have to reach there," Monika said,
Monika Pov's .I was more shocked than Ryan after realising how boldly I confessed my love to him. I tried to run away, but he didn't let me go; instead, he pulled me closer to him. At that moment, all I wanted was to dig myself six feet underground.He smirked, enjoying my misery, and moved further closer to me, leaving hardly any space between him and me."Wh---what consequences?" I asked. He parted away from me a little and looked into my eyes."Why do you get nervous around me?" He asked. I kept my hand over his chest."I don't know... Maybe because you're too intimidating for me, and when you get close to me like this, I feel weak in my knees," I whispered. My heart skipped a beat and I got goosebumps all over my body when he encircled his hand around my waist."Don't worry; I said before I will never let you fall, Monika," he said, making my heart start beating at a higher speed. I hate how he controls the speed of my heart with his touch and words."I'm not talking about this
Ryan Pov's .The next day, after getting ready, I went directly to my office to work and learn about the casualties that happened because of the war. I remember our enemy's warriors had injured my warriors before I took over and killed them to save my people."Patrick, go and bring me the files that contain the details of the family of warriors who died at the border recently while trying to save us", I ordered him. He nodded and left.I sat on my office chair and opened my laptop. That's when Gloria entered my room, holding Monika's hand and closed my laptop."What was that?" I asked and raised my eyebrow, then looked at Monika, who was looking confused. I understood Gloria dragged Monika here without telling her the reason."How can you be so boring? You should go out with Monika and give her the tour of the pack, but look at you... Sitting in your office, working on your laptop like a grumpy" Gloria said. I rolled my eyes and then looked at Monika, who was laughing after keeping a
Ryan Pov's.I smiled loving how freely Monika was laughing. It made my heart flutter. If possible, then I want this smile never to leave her face.I don't know why things went sour between us in the past or say I don't want to think about those memories again. I just want her to be happy."And for that, you have to give up on your plan of snatching her daughter from her," Wild scowled."You're still hanging over that topic. I dropped that plan last night, realising how horrible I'm turning day by day. Thankfully, her tears and care for me stopped me on time; otherwise, I wouldn't be able to look at myself in the mirror," I replied, looking at Monika, who started blushing after catching me staring at me. She turned towards me and raised her eyebrow as if asking me, 'why am I staring at her?' then bowed her head shyly."I'm amazed you look gorgeous at the age of thirty-five," I said, teasing her."Thank" She clamped up and then narrowed her eyes at me. "Were you admiring me or making f
Monika Pov's .My heartbeat rose when Ryan stood up and walked towards me. It would be a lie if I said his actions and expressionless face aren't scary. I don't want to have another fight with him."Ryan", I called him, but he shushed me."Stay quiet" I narrowed my eyes when he ordered me. I was about to say something to piss him off for ordering me like this, but his next step left me dumbstruck."Ryan," I gasped when he kneeled in front of me and held his ear. I looked at everyone present there; they all were shocked, just like me."I made you apologise because Welda is our elder, and I don't like it when someone talks back to her, and Gloria is like my younger sister whom I want to protect with everything. I didn't like how you behaved and called her," he muttered. I tightened my lips and nodded."I can understand, and that's why I apologised, and I would've done it even when you wouldn't have asked me to do it. It's just" I stopped and looked at Ryan, unsure whether I should shar
Author Pov's .Ryan raised his eyebrow at my action but didn't say anything in front of me. The girl sitting beside him passed me a smile."Hello, Monika," She greeted me, but I ignored her and took the toast in my plate and butter, then looked around for a knife to butter my toast."Here" that girl passed me the knife. My eyes went to Ryan, who gestured for me to take the knife. I rolled my eyes and snatched the knife from that girl's hand, startling her."Wow... Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed," she muttered."At least I didn't wake up with someone else's husband," I scoffed, not able to hold myself anymore. I was fuming in anger after seeing her flirting with my man, Ryan, who was hearing our conversation. He started coughing while that girl was looking at me, widening my eyes."Ryan... Didn't you teach your wife how to behave?" Welda asked, gritting her teeth. "Monika," Ryan called me and glared at me. I ignored him and looked at Welda's side."Why are you saying an
Monika Pov's .(Back To Present).I was lying on my bed and biting my nails anxiously while thinking about Ryan and that girl who asked him to come into her bedroom. "I can't believe the guts of that girl... She flirts with Ryan in front of me." I groaned and then whined like a baby."More than her, I'm mad at myself. Why didn't I give her a good reply that time? I should've hit her on the face so that she would think a thousand times before roaming around my man," I muttered to Anika and then smirked, imagining hitting that girl."Anika" I called her when she didn't respond to me. She was awfully silent for the past hour. "Hmm," she hummed in response then yawned."What happened? You're silent for so long?" "Don't get me but please don't get too attached to Ryan," Anika mumbled."Why? What happened?" I asked surprisingly as this is the first time she is doubting Ryan and saying something like this about him."After how he broke our hearts so many times, I don't trust him anymore
