MasukHans’ POVThe faintest knock on the door snapped me out of my thoughts. My heart leaped, hope surging irrationally. But when the door creaked open, it wasn’t my Jhoanna standing there. It was one of the younger wolf guards, looking nervous as he stepped inside.‘Look. Now the youngins are afraid because of your brooding.’ Joseph chuckled.I scoffed at him. ‘As if you are any better than me. In fact, you are way worse.’ My wolf just ignored me and that was when the guest spoke.“Alpha,” he said, bowing his head. “We’ve received word from the council.” I was on my feet immediately before he even finished speaking, my pulse quickening. “What word? Is she all right?”The scout hesitated, clearly intimidated by the force of my gaze. “The mission was a success, Alpha,” he said quickly. “They said that Luna Jhoanna is unharmed. She’s on her way back now as we speak.”Relief washed over me, so overwhelming that I had to grip the edge of my desk to steady myself.She was safe. She was comin
Hans’ POV“When on Goddess’ name will she come back from that damned mission!?”My voice reverberated all over the room. Tone laced with anger and yearning as it is precisely two weeks… TWO FUCKING WEEKS ever since my luna went away because the bloody council assigned her a goddamn mission.I had told her dozens of times to reject it, but of course, knowing that mate of mine, she won’t back down from a challenge. Although we did have a small argument regarding it.“I’m not letting you go, Jhoanna..” I said, standing firm in the doorway. My arms crossed, my tone brooked no argument. “It’s reckless, and not to mention, stupid. Let someone else handle it. Why on bloody name does it need to be you of all people?”She smiled at me then, that infuriatingly calm, knowing smile of hers that I love even though it frustrates the hell out of me. “Hans, I’m the Luna of our pack. This is what I do. I can handle it. And please don’t let the others hear you say it’s stupid, or else the grannies will
Jhoanna’s POV“Are we even a hundred percent sure he’s your mate?” Dad asked while leaning his back towards the door. Mom and I both groaned. Samuel merely looked like he was amused and used to it already.“Jacob, we’ve been through this already.. For dozens of times in all these years!” Mom ranted as she shooed away the men. Dad grunted, “I’m only making sure, baby.” Then he stole mom’s shooing hands to kiss them. “What if it’s like those fake threads? Remember that, my Luna?” He cooed and used that husky tone of his that I’m sure Mom loved dearly. But, both my brother and I rolled our eyes at their public display of affection.“Geez. Everyone’s in love. I’m outta here,” Samuel groused. But before he left, he gave me a peck on my cheeks. “Congrats, sis. I’ll be there later. If you ever want to run from him, I’m just one mind link away.” He winked, and I giggled. “He is your best friend, you know.”“And you are my dearest sister. I prioritize you over anything else.” He pinched my no
(NSFW content) Jhoanna’s POV “Jhoanna,” Hans sweetly coaxed as he held my hand and guided me to his room. “I can hear your heart, you know..” I gulped and looked around. “Is it okay for me to be here?” “What are you talking about? You’re Midnight’s future Luna and it’s not like it is your first time here.” He paused and glanced over his shoulder. “Don’t worry, my love. I wouldn’t do anything you wouldn’t want to.” “I know. I’m just.. scared.” He darkly chuckled, and that made me even more concerned, but at the same time, I’m honestly anticipating what he’ll do. Especially when he grinned, “You have all the reason to.” We stopped in front of one door, and he pushed it open. Then, his intoxicating scent greeted us. Greeted me. Didn’t even notice that I grasped his hands too hard until he told me, “Love? Are you okay?” I nodded as he pulled me into his arms. Then he moved backwards until he laid down on the bed, dragging me on top of him. He didn’t say anything but just hugged m
Jhoanna’s POV“Where?” My mate quickly asked as he gave me one peck before looking in my eyes for answers. Held his hand and ran back to where the others were. I had asked mom to teleport us to the demilitarized zone so that I could preserve my powers. She was surprised but didn’t ask further as she chanted and snapped her fingers twice. By the time we opened our eyes, we were at the ancient ruins of the demilitarized zone.Then.. We saw them. The man and grandmama, as she wanted me to call her that. It was quite a groteseque scene, actually.She broke his limbs from all places, full of wrath. Like it was something personal. Then, she must’ve felt some presence as she glared at us in hostility. But softened her gaze once saw it was only me and Hans.“Hi dearest! Didn’t want you to witness your grandmama being this mean. Sorry ‘bout this.” She spoke in such a light and bright tone that if I ever shared this with someone and they saw her in person, they wouldn’t believe that Naia played
Hans’ POV The moment Jhoanna told me about Hannah, I instantly wolfed out mid-game. Rio immediately understood as he took over as vice captain and let someone else sub in my stead. Could go over to the men’s volleyball team since Samuel’s their captain, but I don’t have time right now, so I just mind-linked him while I’m sprinting my way to her. ‘Hannah’s in pain again. I’m gonna go there now.’ ‘I’m coming.’ It was the only word Samuel replied. Tried to contact my mate, but she wasn’t responding until I could feel her slowly slipping away after feeling her agony through the bond. That’s when I truly panic and hasten my pace. The moment I arrived, everyone who knew me was beyond shocked. They know I had an important game, and yet I’m here. Just quickly passed by them, even when some were asking what on earth I was doing here. Didn’t even have the luxury of pleasantries to deal with them as I sprinted towards where Jhoanna is. Where her scent lingers the most. It was in one of t
