“It’s dark, we need to go,” I told her, she frowned but nodded. I could tell that she liked it here. As we got out of the fort, we met two huge men. I pulled Love closer to me
“It’s just patrol, I’m sure dad sent them,” Love said, waving at the men who smiled at us.
We walked for about five minutes before we reached home.
My heart was a wreck because I knew they’ll be worried for her, she even told me that they don’t allow her out without any guards and her father was mind-linking her constantly.
As soon as we arrived at the manor, the two guards disappeared and I braced myself before going inside, the servants surrounded us and asked if we were alright.
“Juanita, is everything alright?”
“The brothers were out looking for you, we were all so worried,” She said, caressing Love’s hair.
“Why? We weren’t far,” I told her.
“Love, please go to Nanny Giselle, you have to get ready for dinner,” The girl politely nodded and let go of my hand
“Well, Luna, an enemy of the Alpha, has been targeting this pack for some time now so when they spotted some of his bandits at the border, we thought the worst,” She informed me and I nodded slowly.
I didn’t know nor did I mean to worry anyone; however, my heart quavered that Alpha Edward was worried.
No, I shouldn’t lie to myself, he wasn’t worried about me, he was worried about his beloved daughter.
“I’ll freshen up,” I said to the servants and began to go upstairs but a gruff voice made me pause in my tracks.
“Where the fuck did you go?!”
Caliana’s POV
The Alpha was advancing toward me, his hatred-filled gaze was making me cower but I kept my eyes on him. I took a step back when he got close, making me hit something and I almost fell to the ground when I felt tingles erupt over my skin, I slowly opened my eyes, finding myself in his arms. My eyes get lost in his mesmerizing gaze. The world faded into oblivion and my wolf howled in excitement.
“How cute,” A voice said and he let me go as though I burnt him. I fell to the ground with a loud thud, making me hiss in pain.
“Edward!” Jamal scolded. The Alpha’s eyes were flickering between his original color and dark, showing me how angry he was.
“Where the fuck did you go without informing anyone,” He roared, making me yelp in fear.
“I’m sorry, Alpha- Love,” I couldn’t formulate any words properly. “Love wanted to stay longer in the woods and I didn’t realize it was dark already,” I said, my throat tightening. He didn’t say a word, just walked out of the room. My eyes met Jamal and I saw pity in his gaze, he sighed before going after his brother.
Juanita rushed to me, helping me and apologizing for Alpha’s rudeness, I only sent her a tiny smile and went upstairs. Once I was in the closed space of my room, I let tears fall freely. I’m his mate, why does he treat me like this? If this is the man I was blessed to be with then I resent the bond, the goddess is so cruel to me. First, I lost the only person who truly loved me, my father, and the people who were supposed to love me sold me and my mate turned out to be as cruel as them. Alpha Edward is punishment for me. I wanted to despise him but I couldn’t do that because of the mate bond binding us.
Hot sobs escaped my lips and I started to hyperventilate, my breath coming out in small pants and I hugged my knees. Fucking Alpha, fucking mate, and fucking bond, why would the goddess be callous as to pair me with such a man? I have been nothing but good, I was kind to everyone and I didn’t deserve the cruelty life is showing me.
Edward’s POV
I was in a rage, growling, and cursing. How could she be so careless as to leave the grounds without protection? What if they were ambushed or something, Dean’s bandits were getting closer and causing trouble for us.
“You shouldn’t have scared her like that Edward,” Came Jamal’s voice. I rolled my eyes and grabbed myself a bottle of whiskey. I knew I was an asshole but I couldn’t help it, she angered me so much.
‘It’s not her you resent, it’s the feelings you have for her,’ Ward said and I blocked him out. I need no reminder of what she is to me. I’d never felt this way for anyone and my feelings scared me so much, I couldn’t let her close, ever.
“Your wedding-” Started my brother and I groaned, glaring daggers at him.
“Is that necessary?”
“Yes,” He answered. Reports among the pack were that they are happy to have a Luna again.
After discussing it with my brother, we went for dinner. We waited for my mate but she didn’t come down.
“Call her,”
“Sir, I… I think she wants to eat in her room today after what happened earlier,” Her maid said and I growled at her, making her shrink.
“No, call her down, now,” I demanded. My brothers were perplexed by my insistence, raising their brows but I glared at them, so they didn’t ask.
The maid ran upstairs but came back alone.
“Luna Caliana doesn’t answer the door, sir,”
She reported. I got up to drag her downstairs, just who did she think she was to throw a tantrum around here? Getting closer to her room, her intoxicating scent filled my nostrils, and I had to cover my nose but it didn’t help. Why the fuck did she smell so appetizing all the damn time, I wanted to hover over her and fuck her until she passed out. I forcibly opened the door but I stayed in my tracks when I saw her soundly sleeping. My breath jolted as I approached her bed, taking her in. I sat at the edge of the bed, watching her for a long time, I couldn’t resist lying next to her so
I did. I held her close, but surprisingly, she didn’t wake up.
Caliana’s POV
Like the morning before, I woke up to the smell of citrus. I get out of bed and do my morning routine, I have nothing much to do so I am just indoors. I’m sitting on the sofa next to the window and reading a favorite book of mine, the stone bull. I smile as I read but my mind trails to the Alpha, why did he buy me if he hates me so much, and isn’t it easy to reject me? Does he abhor me so much that he can’t do that and chose to punish me?
Not wanting to think about the Alpha, I went to the shower. After the shower, I dried myself up and slipped into shorts, and wore a tank top since the weather is hot today. My stomach growled and I went downstairs to have my breakfast. As I descended the stairs, I came face to face with the brooding Alpha. My breath hitched as his gaze roamed over me. This was the first time he looked at me ever so gently and a flicker of desire appeared but it was gone just as fast as I saw it.
“Good morning, Alpha.” I greeted timidly, casting my head down. He only nodded and moved past me but our arms somehow managed to touch and sparks ignited over my body, he startled too indicating he felt them. The raw desire to be with him overpowered me but I managed to control myself and quickly got away. Reaching the kitchen, I found a man I had never seen before. He was good-looking with black hair and brown eyes. He stood up and pushed his plate away,
“Luna!” He mused, approaching me as if we are friends. He was friendly despite his intimidating muscular body.
“Hi,” I said, smiling at the gentleman.
“Hello, I’m Garret, a warrior, and the best chef,” He said, I nodded and went to sit on the island. Garret went to the stove and started making me breakfast as he talked throughout. He was just praising himself for how good he is as a cook, he was making me smile and laugh with his jokes
“So, how old are you, Luna,”
“I’m twenty, and you?”
“Twenty-five,” He answered. He put a plate full of sausages, eggs, and toast bread, there was so much food on the tray for me.
“I can’t eat all this!” I chided and he laughed.
“Of course, you are a wolf,”
