Semua Bab My mate's betrayal: Bab 31 - Bab 40

ClareI was in trouble.Axel was still suffering for having broken the bond with Selene, and his damned lapdogs were by his side day and night. That forced me to be there, at the foot of his bed, pretending to be the suffering mistress.It was a damned suffering to have to pretend in front of the rest.Hold on a little longer, Bel, my she-wolf, said teasingly.“How long will it take for the body repair concoction to take effect?” asked Nick to the healers. “The first few doses lasted longer, but it seems the concoction is no longer taking effect.”“It's all in his mind,” said one of the two healers in his room. “The process of partitioning a mate’s bond is very complex. The Goddess shows all the moments the person experienced with his mate so that he feels guilt. As long as he doesn't accept the feelings he feels and acknowledge his decision, the process will take longer.”I groaned in mock horror as I laughed inwardly at hearing such ridiculousness.“My Axel must not feel guilt,” I s

SeleneListening to Gabrielle was like seeing a reflection of myself.I couldn't help the tears as she spoke.“My mother found her mate when she was very young; he was an Alpha from a small Northern morning who met her on a visit he made in Eclipse,” Gabrielle said, and at that moment I knew the doctor was not her mother's mate. “He took her into his pack, made her his Moon, and that was the beginning of her hell. The people in the pack didn't accept her, didn't respect her, and the council made her life miserable. The Alpha, all he would tell her, was not to listen to anyone and that the best thing to do was to look for a son.”“Was that where things went bad?” I asked carefully.“No,” Gabrielle said sadly. “Things were bad before they were married.”The way Gabrielle recounted everything made my skin crawl, and I saw her sigh to take a second.“If you don't feel good and—”“It's not that; it's just that it's a little strong coming,” Gabrielle explained, and I nodded. “It turns out t

SeleneWhen the children's health check was over, I noticed a change in Izan.It was something very subtle, but it ended up being very obvious to me when, on the third day since that event, he spent less time around me. He would give me a quick hello and then use some excuse to avoid talking to me.I could feel the tension between us.And I wasn't the only one who felt it; Bella scowled at Izan as she hurried away during breakfast. She gave me a serious look but didn't intrude. I just sighed and lifted my shoulders.I don't want a repeat of Axel, I thought sadly.You have to talk to Izan; you can't drag the matter out. Don't let the same thing happen, although I'm sure it won't happen. Axel and Izan are like oil and water... It's easy to deduce who is in the water, Kate said confidently.I sighed and focused on the food.The problem was that I couldn't digest anything; I immediately went to vomit.Jhosep noticed and went to get me some water to help me, then invited me to go for a lit

SeleneI clenched my belly immediately and leaned back.Zanders looked at Izan with his mouth open.“You got your mate pregnant and didn't mark her? What kind of man are you?” questioned Zanders, looking at his cousin angrily.Izan looked at me with concern.“The baby is not Izan's,” I said with difficulty. “And I don't know what you did, but...”“Zanders is an energy reader,” Izan said. “His power is sealed because he can tell a wolf's strength class, rank, and power. It's something that got him into trouble, and he used it as leverage to bet on clandestine fights that resulted in the death of one person. My father sentenced him to the border and sealed his power. The only ones who know of that power are right here.”“And I don't understand why you say that to her,” Zanders said with a frown.“Because she's my mate and she's scared because of what you just told her,” Izan replied with annoyance.I looked at Zanders with dread.“What exactly did you feel?” I asked fearfully. “My baby

SeleneAfter we kissed, something changed between us.I didn't know exactly what, but the fact that we checked our bond and listened to our wolves after we parted was a clear and decisive sign that we were always meant to be together.I had lived next to Axel for five years, and nothing I felt in all that time of our relationship compared to the emotion that a kiss with Izan generated in me. I couldn't help but compare, but it was clear that Izan and I had something uncommon within the extraordinary.Izan hugged me tightly, and I surrendered to the embrace with love.We didn't say a word, just took refuge in each other's embrace for several minutes. It was hard to break the tension of the moment.“Thank you for bringing me here,” I whispered slowly.Izan looked into my eyes devotedly and then gave me a chaste kiss on my forehead.“I'll show you the rest.”“I'd like to stay here for a while,” I said calmly. “May we?”Izan nodded.“Yes,” he said and walked toward the SUV. “Do you want t
