Tonia's POV. "Luna, are you okay?" Timothy asked, walking over to me in haste. "Luna, are you findin it hard to breathe? Do you need to lie down?""I don't know what is happening. I am feeling this strange heat inside me. Every part of me is burning right now...and I don't know what to do," I replied shakily.I was almost at the point of tears.“My hand, something is happening to my hand," I quivered.He touched my hand that was still on my belly, and released a shocked sound. He rubbed his hand on the fur-like thing on my knuckles that started spreading up to my wrists."Ahh...ahh...help, what is happening...""I think that you are shifting...I am not sure but that seems to be the cause of this...""How is that possible? It's not even late at night and today isn't a full moon...arg!" I whimpered."There will be a full moon today, but I guess that your wolf can't wait for that to manifest. I really need to get you out of here," Timothy added and slowly wrapped his hand around me."I
Tonia's POV. “Thank you, Luna,” One of the kids grinned as I gave him the meal I had made. “Luna, good morning,”The final child in the cue greeted. “Good morning.”It had been a month since my best friend passed away. I would never get over her death, but I had been trying to keep my sanity for Blue. My baby needed me and needed some positivity. Starving myself and getting so depressed wouldn't help my baby's health at all. I had to get up and make myself cheerful. That led my return to the restaurant and the beginning of my charity work. It had been so helpful to see smiles on people's faces. It just reminded me of how cheerful Olivia was. I missed her so much. “Luna?” the child called, and I snapped out of reverie. “Dear, I'm so sorry. I was just lost in thoughts,” I laughed. The child looked at me in confusion, but I didn't bother explaining anything. I took the packaged food from the table and placed it in her hands. “I hope you like the food,” A smile formed on my lips
Ryker's POV. “You don't have to be so harsh. I just don't know why my wolf keeps telling me that you are my mate when you say you are not. She is restless inside me. She continues bugging me and telling me that you are lying to me,” Leah pressed, refusing to leave the matter. I didn't want to say anything more hurtful to her because this wasn't her fault. The Moon Goddess had to be silly enough to mate us. “Okay, I am going to be honest with you, but I will expect you to respond with maturity. I don't want any tantrums!” I warned. “You are the only one throwing a tantrum here not me. You are the one lying, pushing me away and yelling at me. I have not shown any sign of immaturity and I won't start now,” Leah replied sharply. I really didn't expect her to reply like this. “I am your mate, but I can't be the mate that you want. I don't want to reject you right away because we both know that a rejection can cause a lot of pain including death,” I said calmly. “Jayden is still my f
Ryker's POV.This had to be a joke. The Moon Goddess shouldn't play with me in this insane and stupid manner. How could this girl be my mate? Wait. Why would I have another mate after the death of my original mate? This wasn't possible, it made no sense. I believed that Michael was missing Olivia and that was the reason for making such a mistake. It wasn't possible for me to have another mate after the death of Olivia. It had never happened before. This wasn't right. “Mate…you are my mate,” She muttered, walking closer to me. Her scent became more prominent as she got closer to me. I had to cover my nose and move backward. “I am not your mate. You are just seventeen. You don't even have your wolf.” I sneered. “My birthday was last week, and I manifested on my birthday. It wasn't announced or even celebrated as planned because of what had happened to you. You might not be close to our family, but you are Jayden's friend and we respect your emotions,” She explained, shocking me.
Ryker's POV. “No, no, Olivia can't be dead,” I shook my head in refusal. I refused to believe that the woman whom I had spoke to a while ago was dead. She couldn't be dead. She texted me and even sent me the picture of the dress that she was supposed to wear to the birthday party. She was to meet me tonight afterward, and spend some time with me before we went to a private spot the next morning, where she could take pictures and videos for her vlog. This was all we were supposed to do, and we were still going to do it because Olivia wouldn't leave me like this. “Doctor, go back inside and check again. She can't be dead,” I opposed and grabbed the doctor's collar. “Please go back inside and do the right thing.” “Beta, I know how you feel. However, we tried our best to save her. The bullet hit a delicate part of her brain, and there were a lot of complications because of this. I am so sorry that things ended up like this. We did our best to save her,” He replied, making my heart q
Tonia's POV."Olivia!" I screamed in shock. "Olivia, please wake up!"I tried to shake her, but realized that a bullet had gone straight into her temple. I could feel my heart pounding in her chest, and every part of me was trembling at the sight of it. No! This couldn't be happening to Olivia! Olivia couldn't leave me! My friend couldn't leave me like this."Antonia, what is wrong? What is—""Jayden, please, let's take her to the hospital! Please!" I cried and pulled her into my arms.Olivia was my only friend, the one that always made me laugh and find some kind of happiness in my sad life. She was the reason why I was able to leave that bastard in the first place.She made me give Jayden achance.I couldn't lose her now! She was supposed to see me finally getting my maximum happiness. She was supposed to be my bridesmaid at my wedding, the godmother of my baby, and then get married to Ryker later.This wasn't supposed to happen. This wasn't supposed to happen!!!!"Antonia, calm d
