Gloria is an important character in the story... Soon you will know she is an angel or a devil. I know this part might make you feel a little dragged, and that's why I'm updating another chapter today. I just wanted to show things from Ryan's Pov and how he doesn't know anything about why Monika is mad at him.
Ryan Pov's . "What happened?" I asked through Patrick mindlink "I heard some hunters entered our Pack secretly." "And what the f*ck you and other warriors doing when they were entering" I growled. I held the bridge of my nose to calm myself and took a deep breath. "Search for them everywhere and make sure to search in the forest as well. They must be hiding their only." I ordered and looked at Mother's side when she kept her hand over mine. "What happened?" She asked. "Some hunters entered the pack. I should go and" I stopped when she shook her head. "No, you're not going... Did you forget you're injured?" "But Mother" "No, Ryan... You're not going anywhere. It's not safe. Let Patrick and our warriors handle everything. Trust in their capabilities." She said, "I think Mother is right, Ryan. You shouldn't go. In this condition, you will only become the weakness of our warriors instead of their strength," Gloria said. I tightened my lips and nodded, realising they were right
Ryan Pov's .I used Wild's smelling power to find Monika. My heart was beating at a higher speed in fear when Wild smelled blood with her scent. The flashes of Jenny's death were coming in front of my eyes. I blinked to clear my vision and shook my head."We should focus on saving Monika, instead of grieving what we lost," Wild said, trying to pretend to be stronger, but I know whenever we remember Jenny, we lose the will to live this life."You're right" I whispered and took a deep breath to calm my anxious soul."Nothing will happen to Monika... She is a strong and fearless woman with an amazing wolf," I said to Wild, who nodded, hating that we had to take Patrick's help to find our mate. Because of the wound with the silver knife, Wild can't transition, not until our wound gets completely healed. "I just hope she is fine," he said and looked at Patrick, who was running at a higher speed, but his speed was nothing compared to his. If Wild was fine then we would've reached Monika t
Monika Pov's .I was fuming in anger because of Ryan and his strange behaviour. If he doesn't want to come close to me then he shouldn't. He is confusing me with his actions. He ran behind me to apologise, but I didn't give him a chance and closed the door in his face. Tears welled up in my eyes but I refused to shed them for a man like him. I know he is guilty but he always does this. He first hurt me with his jerk behaviour and then apologised as if Anika and I were a robot who didn't get hurt. I sat on the ground with the support of the door, trying to divert my attention from him. The hate for him keeps increasing with the time I'm spending with him.I shivered when someone knocked on the door, and I knew who it was. "Monika" I closed my eyes when Ryan took my name. He kept knocking but I didn't respond."I bought a dress for you," He whispered. I looked at his coat, which I was wearing."This is the way he found out to make us talk to him," Anika scoffed and shook her head i
Ryan Pov's.I tried everything to make Monika talk to me but she kept ignoring me. I wanted to apologise to Anika and Monika for hurting them but they are not giving me a chance to do so.For two days, I kept knocking on the door for one reason and another, but she never responded. In the end, I had to keep the tray of food outside the room and leave so that she wouldn't let out her anger on food. She was ready to spend her entire day in a room to ignore me.I thought I would not get a chance to talk to her on the third day as well, but then she finally came out of the room to keep the dirty dishes in the sink. She was about to go back to her room to run away from me but I didn't let her. I was about to apologise to her but then her words broke my spirit to say anything."Stay Away from me," She said the same words I said to her. She pushed me using Anika's strength then went back to her room.I sighed and walked towards the hall. I hissed in pain when my back touched the couch. The
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
Author Pov's.Gabriel and Monika had a great trip together. They both came closer than before. During the entire trip, Gabriel makes sure to keep Monika engaged so that she doesn't think about Aaron.Monika was happy because Gabriel was taking care of her and doing everything for her that a mate does. She started thinking of giving a chance to a relationship with him. She started growing feelings for him while Gabriel just did everything to make Monika happy. He didn't want her to stay in pain of losing her loved one like him.After a long trip, they returned to the Pack... Monika and Gabriel went to meet Aana as it was her last trimester and she wanted to know how she and her babies were doing. 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 ."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
