Sabrina. " What game are you playing at, now?" Still on the couch, he asked, his dark eyes searching for mine, and the sleep vanished from my eyes as I took in his grumpy face. " What are you talking about?" I asked, the irritation in my voice hardly concealed. In the name of all things living, I had just woken up, barely fully awake and he was already accusing me, was he that eager to ruin my day? " Feigning ignorance now, are we? Drop the act!" He sneered, now assuming a sitting position on the couch. Turns out that he had been awake long before I woke up. But still, I was in the darkness. Why exactly was I being accused? I had no idea. " First, you forced your way into my life, ruining my marriage with Amery and becoming the bride, and now..." He paused, his eyes reddening with what I couldn't accurately point at. But I got it. I just nodded my head in realisation. He was still bitter, brooding over his failed marriage to Amery. It was pitiful, wasn't it? How lo

Sabrina. The past few days after our wedding were pure hell. There were like a thousand things that I was supposed to do. From the ten hours of gruelling Luna training, to the back-to-back night meetings that I had to hold virtually with the execs of my company, Rina Dream Scents, and then, there was the actual designing. Since I couldn't get time to do it during the day, I had to do it at night, for hours. That meant that for five days, I hadn't had a proper three-hour sleep, let alone my preferred six. Luckily, it was already Friday and I had already completed my Luna training. So, despite how worn out I was, there was still a small smile on my lips as I dragged my tired body to the villa. I couldn't wait to finally catch some sleep, luckily, I didn't have to work that night. ' I miss our mate, Sabrina.' My smile froze as my wolf's voice reverberated in the back of my mind. For a moment, I froze, before clenching my hands into fists. Ava missed our mate. But

Sabrina. " I will also bring my lover, since you are bringing yours. There should be equality, right?" I sneered. " I will kiss him, deep and hungrily. " I slurred, my voice laced with challenge, provocation, surprising even myself. But it sounded more like I was flirting than I was bragging. And if it was, that could be considered my first. As for the lover that I was bragging about? Of course, there was none. Rhys had been my first and only boyfriend. I was only saying all that to spite him. The reason I became his Luna was to rain chaos in his life after all, right? I was deeply vindictive. So, there was no way they would shove their love on my face and get away with it. "Let's see if your Alpha ego will take it." I challenged, before turning my back to him, desperate to get as far away from the two as possible. " I dare you! You are mine!" A deep and resounding roar ripped past his lips, and the walls vibrated from the impact. Red and blue hues were alternat

Rhys. I kissed her. I fu*king kissed her, and I was losing my damn mind. That was not supposed to happen. I wasn't even supposed to crown her as my Luna. Her eyes went wide with shock and confusion, and like the feisty cat she had always been, she lifted her hand, ready to strike my face, to slap me, in front of everyone. ' Behave. That was the final part of the swearing-in ceremony. Don't act like I wanted to kiss you so bad. I don't. ' Just before her hand could connect with my face, I linked, and for a moment, she froze, her movement going stiff. That was a lie. There was never a kissing part. The kiss was her fault. Goddess, she had looked so beautiful, so irresistible that by the time my senses kicked in, my lips were already on hers. It was partially because of the mate bond too, I think. The f*cking mate bond! Then she wore that look. The hurt-painted face, the one that usually pulled at some foreign strings in my heart, and I hated it. F*ck. I hated the things t

Sabrina. " I don't know if it's worth it or not, but I know one thing for sure, Ivy. I don't regret it... And I will never regret tearing them apart and choosing to be his Luna. I like it here, I like being his Luna, even with every little pain it gives me." My voice was cold and calm, and I wore a stiff smile as I expressed. " Rhys and I grew up together. He was my best friend. He then became my boyfriend. I had always had a crush on him." I explained, wearing a small smile as I took a memory lane to the past. How my heart used to flutter when I saw him. How his presence used to make me feel? Those used to be special feelings, and I had wanted to grow old with him, feeling all those things, the butterflies fluttering at the pit of my stomach, my erratic heartbeat whenever he was close, and more. " Growing up, my only dream was to be his mate and Luna. To be always next to him. He promised me a future, Ivy." I paused, biting my bottom lip, if anything, to maintain some se
