Gianna's POV
“Do you think they'd like me?” I asked for the umpteenth time since we got into the car. I was nervous as hell, rejection was one of my biggest fears and I sincerely do not know how I would handle being rejected by my mate's family.
Surprises were not really my thing and I expected Dane to understand this and at least give me a heads-up on issues, but as usual, he was a dominant and preferred doing things his own way.
I was willing to understand him, it was so much work, but I was ready to give it a try.
I didn't want things to go wrong, that'd be another disaster combined with the one I was going through right now.
Aside from the fact that they were royalty, Dane made me understand that they were extreme perfectionists, so you can understand how much pressure was on me to impress them.
Meanwhile, Dane was chuckling at my discom
Gianna's POVThe Blackwood family mansion was paradise.It was more exquisite than the way Dane described it, trust him to make everything seem so normal, but trust me this was far from normal.“You never told me we were taking a trip to paradise?” I gushed as my eyes twinkled in amusement as I admired the structure of the house, it had a unique blend of ancient and modern.“Well, if you think this is paradise, wait until you see mine” He mumbled while parking the car and undoing my belt.“Do you mean your house is bigger than this?”I asked as he retrieved the k
Gianna's POVShe pulled me into a warm hug the moment she got to me, engulfing my petite figure with her lavender scent flooding my nostrils immediately made me snuggle into her warm embrace.“You look lovely mom,” I commented while we pulled away after the long hug.“And you, my dear, you're so beautiful. I hope Dane hasn't been giving you too much trouble?” She said, shooting a look at Dane who rolled his eyes, clearly embarrassed and I chuckled.I loved the way he acted around his family, like he wouldn't want to get in their bad books. I initially thought they would be ill-mannered like he made me believe, but against his initial stance, they were actually sweet.“No mom, Dane is the sweetest husband in the entire universe”“I want to find my mate already, you both make love so sweet” Tania said, eyeing me w
Gianna's POVTania brought dessert. It was creamy and adorned with cocoa powder and chocolate shavings.On a normal day, I was supposed to start digging in on how delicious it looked, but I suddenly lost my appetite, I wanted to know what Dane was hiding from me.“You don't have to worry Gianna, I assure you she's nobody important, just enjoy your dessert” Tania assured with a soft smile and I looked back at my mate for answers, only to see him clenching his jaw and tapping his foot repeatedly on the ground, making me frown.His attitude was making my curiosity grow. I am supposed to let things slide, but as a woman, my jealousy would not allow me. If my mate has had this intense history with any o
Gianna's POVI felt a mix of emotions; Guilt, anger, and confusion. I couldn't believe I allowed Eriella to get under my skin, and now I had inadvertently caused tension in the family.“Babe, I'm sorry”“I should be the one apologizing Gianna, I should have told you beforehand, but I didn't know how to”Dane's Godmother, Zachary and Tania were all staring at me with concern in their eyes.“Don't dare to apologize to us Luna, you did nothing wrong, you were only just trying to figure out the truth which is entirely normal, Eriella just has a way of manipulating situations to her advantage, she's been doing it
“Move your ass Howard” My voice boom throughout the training field to one of my warrior who slack behind. He easily gives up and fell hard on his bum.“You’re holding everyone back, move Howard” I yell. Howard shrug his shoulder before getting up to his feet and push his legs to move. I see potential in this kid but he doesn’t seem to know it. Everyone keeps on running without turning back to him. No one dare to mock him. Yes, I make sure not to let anyone discourage another pack member. “How’s it going?” I look back to find a shirtless Miles with his arms cross in front of his chest. “As you can see, it’s fuck fun-tastic” I snorted sarcastically. He shook his head and made his way to stand beside me. “Is it the Howard kid again” he said and I nod my head in return. “How did it go with the warriors?” I ask and Miles scrunch up his face. “Like you said, it’s damn fun.” We both laugh and suddenly I feel this slight tug on my chest. It’s like my wolf is on edge over something and
Rogues…all I am seeing are their red eyes.Hungry for my blood to be spilt in this forsaken territory.My eyes darted around me in fear. Seeing all the shifted wolves eyeing me hungrily. They stood so tall with their grey and black furs challenging me to do it or I will face the consequences. Their eyes darken with no humanity shown in it. Three of them hung out their tongues and the other four have that sinister expression. I am lost and I definitely knew one day I will face some idiot’s rogues. Avoiding trouble was long overdue and here I am facing them. Today was not a lucky day for me. The long bath I enjoyed a while ago was disturbed. I guess peace was never in my dictionary in this foreign land that had become my home a month ago. Leaving my pack was not an option. I was banished from the pack that I grew up in. I wanted to tell of my past and the heartbreak I went through but I guess that’s another story for next time. My concern and focus now are the rogues before me.
Beta MilesMy jaw drop for a second to her reply before it replace again with my anger. How this imbecile rogue can hurt my Alpha. I huff and raised my head high to challenge her. “How can a low life rogue thinks she could get away from this?” I thought as I narrow my eyes at her.I see fear in her eyes which made my wolf and I smile. She should fear us? After all were the Blood Pack.FlashbackIt wasn’t long after I dismissed everyone from the training that I felt the pain. When our Alpha left I add another thirty five minutes of training before dismissing everyone. The pain I felt was too much to handle and I look around to find our pack members screaming in pain. “Something’s happening to our Alpha” my wolf Harold says as he howl in pain too. I agree with him because I know our bond with our Alpha is strong and only he can cause this pain. I wanted to run and look for him but the pain was numbing my movements. When the pain is gone I quickly get up on my feet. “Marc protec
Dane’s PovThe hardest thing to do was move on from love. The love that betrays my heart and kills my soul without mercy. Never in my life did I expect this kind of betrayal to happen. I always envy those who were victims of a love affair but never thought it could happen to me. “Moon goddess! Why me?” My mind run with thoughts as Miles, the rogue and I make our way back home. I know I can’t automatically switch my feelings and move on easily. I mean I am going through the hardest time in my life. However, I can’t help but keep asking myself what I failed to give to her. Did I ever make her never feel lonely because as long as I can remember I never made her feel insecure and unloved? I gave her my everything, even the title that she desires the most. ‘Luna.’ Look at how we turn out. After so many years of loving her, she ended up tossing me in the land of rogues like trash. Like I don’t deserve an explanation and a goodbye note. At least give me something I deserve. Not a fuck
