Linda’s p.o.vWhen I first opened my eyes, I tried remembering what had happened and why I was feeling this intense pain in my head. My eyes darted around the room and fell on Ruby who was with a syringe. Fear gripped me and all I could do was cry, I couldn’t move any part of my body as I felt very weak.I had tried mind-linking Bruno but I was too weak for it to pull through. I tried to plead with her with my eyes as my tears flowed seamlessly but instead, she laughed manically. I pleaded frantically with the moon goddess to send someone to rescue me. As if she heard my cry for help. She sent Bruno.Relief flooded through me as my eyes landed on him but I couldn’t help the fear that gnawed inside of me at the thought of what Ruby had almost done to me.As I lay cuddled up against Bruno’s chest I couldn’t help but wonder if he had forgiven me now. The look in his eyes and his words filled me with hope that we could work everything out.I wanted to talk to him, to ask him if he wante
Linda P.O.VI'll never forget that night when my life turned into a nightmare.It was the big day of the mating ceremony, and I was about to turn twenty. This meant it was time for me to find my mate. I woke up feeling both nervous and excited. I was happy because I hoped to find my true mate, the one I was meant to be with. But I was also nervous because I wanted it to be Daniel and nobody else.Daniel, the beta of the Blackwood pack, was not just my friend but also my soulmate. We had been best friends since we were five and became lovers when I turned eighteen and he was twenty-one. Our love had to stay secret because it wasn't allowed until we were officially declared mates during the mating ceremony.I truly believed that destiny and the moon goddess were on our side. But little did I know that everything was about to change on that night.I used our mind-link to contact Daniel and asked him to meet me at our usual spot near the stream in the evening.As we walked towards the cer
Linda’s P.O.VI looked up and saw the alpha's cold, piercing gaze fixed on me. Fear rushed through me, making it hard to breathe. My heart raced, and tears streamed down my face. I couldn't stand to look at him anymore. I turned away and ran, driven by fear, anger, and desperation, desperately trying to create as much distance as I could between myself and the man fate had tied me to.Gradually, exhaustion crept in, and everything became blurry and dizzy. The world seemed to spin around me, and I couldn't hold on any longer. The weight of my emotions became unbearable, and I collapsed onto the forest floor. Welcoming the darkness that took over.When I finally regained consciousness, I found myself in my familiar bedroom. Memories of my escape and collapse flooded back, leaving me disoriented and weak. As I tried to sit up, my mother's stern voice cut through the haze in my mind. "Linda Marie Carter, what were you thinking?" she scolded, her disappointment evident. My father looked on
Daniel’s P.O.VI couldn't bear to look back. The pain of leaving Linda behind seared through my chest like a hot iron, but I knew I had to do it. My duty to the pack and my responsibility to protect my sister outweighed my desires. It tore me apart to see Linda's tear-stained face, her pleas echoing in my mind as I walked away. I couldn't shake the image of Linda standing there, her hand pressed to her heart. I had always been captivated by her spirit, her fierce determination, but now our love seemed destined to remain a forbidden dream.Since childhood, I had adored her, hoping she would be my destined mate. She was everything I wanted, and the absolute love of my life, my love for her knew no bounds. When I vowed to be with her forever, I meant every word.But reality demanded that I fulfill my role. As an orphan, I had sworn to protect my sister, and now that vow echoed through my mind. The path I had chosen meant sacrificing my own happiness for the sake of my loved ones.Just a
Linda’s P.O.VAs we approached the Alpha's mansion, the weight of anticipation settled heavily upon us. The guards at the entrance stood tall and imposing, their eyes scanning our group. My parents and I exchanged nervous glances, understanding the gravity of the situation. We were about to face the formidable Alpha, Bruno Blackwood.One of the guards stepped forward, his voice laced with authority. "Halt! State your business."My father cleared his throat, his voice steady yet tinged with apprehension. "We are here to seek an audience with Alpha Blackwood. It concerns our daughter, Linda."The guard scrutinized us for a moment, then nodded curtly. "Very well. Proceed."With a collective breath, we entered the grand mansion and were led to the meeting hall. Theroom was opulent, adorned with tapestries and intricate carvings. At the head of a long table sat Alpha Blackwood, exuding an aura of power and authority, his stern gaze fixed upon us.Bowing slightly, we greeted the alpha."Al
Linda’s P.O.VI watched as my mother joyfully savored each bite of her meal, a contented smile adorning her face. Meanwhile, my father sat across from my mother, his expression marked by sadness and worry. His eyes met mine, and we shared a moment of understanding. However, I couldn't find it within myself to eat. A knot tightened in my stomach, a physical manifestation of the sadness and anxiety I felt. She pushed her food around her plate, unable to bring herself to take a bite.My father glanced at me, concern etched in his features. "Linda, sweetheart, aren't you hungry? You need to eat something."I mustered a weak smile, my voice laced with sadness. "I'm just not feeling well, Dad. It's hard to eat when my stomach is tied up in knots."My mother, unaware of the inner turmoil I was experiencing, chimed in cheerfully. "Oh, Linda, you're missing out on such a delicious meal! The flavors are exquisite. You should try some."Observing my lack of response, my mother raised her voice s
Daniel’s P.O.VI stormed away from the meeting hall, feeling a mix of sadness and anger. I muttered to myself, frustrated with Linda for not waiting and mad at myself for being too slow to meet her before the ceremony. I blamed myself for asking her to let go when she wanted to fight for our love. Jake, my wolf, shared my frustration. We had loved Linda since childhood, even though she wasn't our destined mate.“Why couldn't she just hold on a little longer?" I growled through gritted teeth, my voice laced with irritation."Daniel, calm down," Jake urged in a soothing tone, its voice resonating in my head. "She made her choice, and we must respect it. Our mate will come when the time is right."I shook my head, stubborn and unwavering. "No! I don’t want anyone else but Linda, Linda is the only woman I’ll ever be able to love. I won't let her slip away."“But going against the alpha alone would be reckless," Jake warned, concerned for their safety. "Think about the consequences. We cou
Linda’s P.O.VAs I gradually regained consciousness, the world around me came into sharper focus. I discovered myself lying in a bed and a room that was unfamiliar to me. Questions swirled in my mind as I tried to piece together how I ended up here and what had transpired the previous night. I sat up, gently rubbing my temples to alleviate the lingering headache that plagued me.“Good morning, Linda," a voice resonated within me, catching me off guard.Surprised, I surveyed the room, searching for the source of the voice. Then it hit me – it was my wolf, the inner essence that had stirred when I fainted."Is that... is that really you?" I whispered, unsure of how to communicate with this newfound presence dwelling inside me."Yes, it's me, your wolf," the voice responded, emanating a mixture of strength and wisdom. "We are now connected, bound together by the mating ceremony. I am a part of you, just as you are a part of me."“Wow," I exclaimed, feeling a surge of excitement at the th
