PREPARATION Bruno’s p.o.vI chuckled at her request and looked up at her. “I need to be sober for tomorrow Hazel. I have a lot of things to take care of tomorrow and I need to handle them with caution.”She pouted and said, “Okay Alpha, you are the boss.”I chuckled once more and pulled her towards me, she landed on my chest with a thud.“Let’s just sleep for tonight, we’ll share that drink soon. I promise,” I told her.She snuggled into my chest and yawned. “I’ll hold you to your promise.”I placed a gentle kiss on her forehead and pulled her closer, as we drifted off to sleep.Morning came with a soft glow filtering through the curtains. I slowly opened my eyes, feeling Linda still nestled against me, her warmth giving me comfort. I leaned down, and planted a soft kiss on her lips, causing her to stir in her sleep. Her eyes fluttered open slowly, and a smile graced her lips as she saw me staring down at her. “Good morning, Hazel,” I whispered.She returned the smile and said, “Go

Bruno’s p.o.vI left the meeting hall feeling an intense amount of happiness inside me. For some reason, I felt fulfilled. My pack was finally safe, I can now finally move freely, and I now have someone to go back home to every day. It almost felt surreal.I made my way back to the mansion to spend the rest of the day with Linda. As I entered the mansion, her scent hit me, I followed it and it led me to the kitchen. Where Camille was showing her how to roll a dough.They noticed my presence and turned around. “Alpha,” Camille said, bowing in respect.I nodded in response and watched as Linda picked up a kitchen cloth to wipe her hands with and walked toward me. “Are you done with your meeting?”I leaned against the doorframe. “Yes. It seems someone’s on her way to becoming a renowned chef.”She burst into loud laughter and I couldn’t help but admire her. I couldn’t believe my good fortune, she was so beautiful. Oh moon goddess, thank you for this wonderful gift you gave to me.She n

Linda’s p.o.vThey both stared at me in surprise as my impulsive offer hung in the air. Bruno raised an eyebrow, clearly taken aback.“What?” he asked, confusion evident on his face.I took a deep breath meeting their eyes. “I mean she shouldn’t be left alone right now. She’s obviously hurt and alone. She needs to be among people to help reduce the pain and loneliness she’s feeling right now. Being in the mansion, being around us will provide her the comfort and support she needs and might help her heal little by little.”“But what would she be doing here?” Bruno asked and I could see he wasn’t so keen on the idea.I knew I needed to persuade him because the girl needed more than physical healing, she needed emotional support too. I took a step closer to Bruno, pleading with him with my eyes.“Bruno, she’s just a child. She needs all the help she can get to get better. Please, Bruno, she can work in the mansion in the meantime,” I implored, hoping he would understand me.Daniel chimed

Bruno’s p.o.v“Hazel!” I called out, rushing to catch her before she hit the floor.Panic coursed through my body as I held her in my hands, her face drained of color.“Linda! Linda wake up,” I yelled, tapping her lightly.The knock on the door became more persistent at the sound of my voice.“Come in,” I yelled, hoping it was someone that could help.Camille walked in with a tray in her hands. She let out a gasp as she sighted Linda on the floor. “Alpha, what happened to her?” She asked, dropping to her knees.I shook my head and gently carried her onto the bed, laying her on her back, I linked the doctor. “Allen, come to the house right now. Something is wrong with Linda.” Taking her hand in mine, I dropped to my knees beside her. “She was about to come attend to you at the door when she fell.”“May I do something that could help, alpha,” Camille asked. I nodded and she hurriedly went into the bathroom and came out with a bowl of water and a towel. I watched as she soaked the tow

Linda’s p.o.vMy whole body trembled at his question. How did he find out? Oh moon goddess, what was I going to do now? How do I explain to him that we ended things before we decided to give the mate bond a chance?His voice broke my line of thought, making my heart palpitate in fear. “Answer me!” he growled angrily.I stood up from the bed and made my way towards him, hoping my touch would help calm him and make him listen to me with a cool head but he took a few steps backward, avoiding my touch.Tears welled up in my eyes at his action and I stared at him in pain. “Bruno, please calm down. It’s not what you think, I don’t know what you heard and where you heard it but please let me explain everything in detail,” I pleaded earnestly.He just stared at me without a word, his face dark with rage.I hung my head low as i tried to hold back my tears. “Daniel and I have been in a relationship even before I met you. I thought he would be my mate but it turned out that the moon goddess ha
