登入‘Oh Moon Goddess… not again. Please.‘The plea trembled through Angela’s mind as she turned slowly, dreadfully. And when she saw it, her breath snagged in her throat.A massive, dirty brown wolf loomed over her, towering, monstrous, its ebony eyes fixed on her with an intelligence that chilled her blood. It was watching her. Measuring her. “What the hell..” Angela stumbled back, terror surging through her veins. Before she could even think of turning around, the wolf leaped, landing in front of her with terrifying grace, blocking her path completely. Behind her, distant howls and savage growls echoed through the woods. Damn it! Her mind screamed at her stupidity for running into the forest like a frightened fool. Atleast she was safe in that packhouse. “How do I use my powers?” she muttered under her breath, her chest heaving in exasperation. Angela forced herself to breathe and composed.She raised her fists in a defensive stance as she slowly retreated. “What do you want?” sh
Angela didn’t feel pain. She wasn’t shocked.What she felt was the brutal sensation of her heart being ripped out of her chest, stabbed, pulled free, and stabbed again.She clutched her heart with her hand and stepped back, her eyes remained frozen on the scene before her. Her sister was kissing her husband Who stood there like a statue.Not pushing her away.Not stopping her.Not denying her.Just standing.The same man who swore Daniela meant nothing.The same man who claimed she was his only mate.His only wife.The dirty truth stood right in front of her like a mockery. So He had been sleeping with her sister. Behind her back. While forcing her to stay with him under the name of mate bond.A hollow laugh echoed inside her skull.How stupid was she?How could she let herself trust him again after everything? How could she get her hopes high from this man who didn't know the meaning of love?He lied. He lied to her. And she… she believed him.Her eyes lifted to meet his, filled wit
“I wanted to marry you. My only mistake was that I went out of the pack alone before our marriage date. But I was kidnapped, raped, and got pregnant. It was not my mistake, Gideon. I didn’t cheat on you. Your so-called wife did.”Gideon’s blood boiled so violently that his hand once again grabbed her neck. She had touched the wound He never allowed anyone to speak of.“Daniela..” He growled under his breath while getting close on her face. His hold tightened further, but Daniela smiled through her pain.“I have nothing to lose except my daughter. I know you care for Venessa. You treat her like your own. But what about me? The elders proposed our marriage again. It was a promise, Gideon. You can’t break it. You already removed me from my warrior position. Where will I go? Why don’t you understand that I love you? But you had to go and mark the wife who betrayed you!”Gideon’s jaw flexed. He shut his eyes for a second, and recalled Venessa’s begging him not t
Daniela took a deep breath to suppress her apprehension and anger before walking inside with nervous steps. Her head was also bandaged from the impact of the blow Gideon gave her. “You called me?” She asked him. Gideon nodded, watching her with a stillness that was far more frightening than anger. He had known she was lingering outside the door for a long time. His office was soundproof. Her attempt to eavesdrop had been useless and He had let her stand there anyway, knowing the anxiety would eat her alive.“What did I tell you, Daniela?” He started, pinning her with a dark gaze. “To train Angela professionally. Didn’t I?” Gideon asked, his voice dangerously level, as if rage had frozen into ice.Daniela inhaled sharply and forced herself to meet his eyes.“Gideon, trust me. I didn’t intend to. She started it first. You can ask others. She hurt one of the female warriors violently. I had to intervene.”“Did she ask you to fight her?” Gideon cut in, ignoring everything else she said.
“I arranged for someone to train her. She will come from the Dusk Claws pack tomorrow.” Gideon informed Zamini, speaking as though Angela were not even present there. But his gaze never left her. The intensity in his stare was too much to endure, too dangerous to linger in that Angela averted her eyes. Heat crawled up her throat but her ears sharpened at his words at once. Dusk Claws pack. Again. Her heartbeat skipped. This was no coincidence anymore. This name kept returning, circling her life like a shadow she could not see but always felt. Something was happening behind curtains she wasn’t allowed to pull. Something tied to her. Something everyone knew except her. “It’s better if she learns everything as soon as possible. Take care of her.” With that, Gideon walked out. Angela watched his retreating back with a growing heaviness inside her chest. Zamini began cleaning the wounds on Angela’s thigh. The sting shot up sharply, and Angela hissed. “It will heal soon.” Angela
“Gideon…” Angela breathed, and the single word carried relief, accusation, and longing all at once.His arms came around her before she even realized she was swaying. “Where were you?” Angela complained, forgetting the word around her. Her eyes were settled only onto the gorgeous yet grim face of her husband in front of herGideon didn’t answer. He brushed the hair away from her blood-streaked face, his fingers pausing at the small cuts on her cheek. His jaw tightened so hard a vein throbbed near his temple. Angela exhaled and rested her forehead against his chest. The raging heat under her skin softened, soothed by the familiar warmth of him.“You were supposed to train me,” she murmured, peering up into his storm-silver eyes. “To fight with me, husband. But you vanished. Was that part of your little plan too?”Gideon inhaled sharply, He stared at her face and touched her forehead which was burning hot. He cursed under his breath. His gaze slid past her to the crowd still standing
