Chapter Thirty six: I do not love you! Tristan's POVI know it has been months since Gianna left. Everyone believed she was dead but I knew my Gianna was still alive, she was just too stubborn and resilient to give up like that.I knew she was definitely somewhere, maybe in one of the rogue's packs or maybe the human pack since her father had connections with humans.Why didn't I think of this all these while?With new hope brewing inside of me, I made a mental note to go and search for her in the human packs, sad thing the moon ball was just twenty four hours away, I would have begun my journey tomorrow.I had hoped that I would find Gianna and I wouldn't rest till I do so.The guilt was eating deep inside of me. Why did I even have sex with my fiance's best friend just four months after she went missing?I couldn't even look at myself in the mirror.This was not me."Mate" I hear my wolf growl inside me and hopes spew within me. My wolf Archer never failed to remind me each passi
Chapter thirty seven: Bad omen Gianna's POV Tonight is the moon ball and for some reason I haven't been able to get my mind off Alpha Dane and not in a bad way, I actually had wet dreams about him last night.What is wrong with me?If anything, I was supposed to hate this man and the ground he walked in and not think about him in any intimate way.This is a man who treated me with so much disrespect and labeled me a thief and killer because I was a rogue but I couldn't deny the butterflies I felt in my stomach when I saw him for the first time.And there was Tristan.In as much as I begged my wolf to forget him she didn't, she was stubborn like that. She had developed an unusual bond with Tristan's wolf, Archer and she wouldn't stop mentioning his name.I scoff as I sit on my bed in my room wondering if I am going crazy, why am I thinking about two men at the same time in the same manner?It's still afternoon and I was so bored even though I had a little free time to do whatever I
Chapter thirty eight: Wicked BetaGianna's POVI can't remember the last time I looked this beautiful.The gown made me look like some sort of Disney princess. The maids really outdid their work on me, you should see me smiling from ear to ear at how beautiful and sophisticated I looked.My gown hugged every part of my body like a second skin accentuating my curves. My hair was also made in French weaves, my gold heels are dazzling and eye catching and my jewelriesFreaking diamonds.Imagine my shock when Angel gifted me an expensive diamond jewelry set. I knelt on the floor in appreciation for her kindness, I really didn't deserve all this, I was just an ordinary rogue.I hum lightly as I look outside the window of the SUV and it drives on whatever road we were on. I was not used to Black moon pack, in fact I've never been here, but I made a mental note to go on a tour after this ball was finally over.We've been on the road for quite a while now.I initially thought the ball woul
Chapter thirty nine: Rogue mateDane's POVMy heart was racing and hitting hard inside my chest as I made my way to my bedroom.I just showered and I was breathing shakily as I narrowed my eyes and racked my brain to figure out what outfit would be better. I had three options from my designer and I found it difficult to choose, Mel always chose all my outfits. "Rogue" My wolf growled again and I sighed. Today didn't seem like a good day but for some reason my wolf was excited, today was one of those days my wolf and I didn't think alike.I could not shake off the feeling and my instincts never failed me but I forced my heart to believe that nothing heartbreaking would happen today.I was sweating while trying to maintain a calm breath which was almost impossible. My heart was racing and my wolf kept disturbing me."Rogue" my wolf growled again and I chuckled giving in, this was the first time in weeks that my wolf was this excited. I couldn't tell what was so exciting about Gianna
Chapter forty: Moon ball Gianna's POVThere were so many people here.We used to host parties in my pack but I've never seen a crowd like this in my entire life. I suddenly felt self conscious as I felt eyes on me but Angel held my hands reassuringly and with practiced steps we were led to the table.Well, yeah you guessed right, the special dignitaries table and yes, I would have to sit close to the Alpha.Things didn't feel right after what just transpired outside. I do not think I am ready for another round of embarrassment but if he tries to get on my nerves again, I would not hesitate to give him a piece of my mind.Oh, I have forgotten I lost my voice. How great?As we approached the table, I see the beta come up onto the stage and he is handed a microphone. A deep scowl is etched on his face, he looks round the crowd and his eyes land one making me move uncomfortably on my seat.Can this man just mind his fucking business already?The beta speaks out to the crowd, his deep
Chapter Forty one: Eighteenth birthday Gianna's POV My only prayer is that I do not find someone from the Nightshade Pack who recognizes me. It would definitely be disastrous, I am not even ready to take that route right now. Angel kept on telling me jokes and it made me feel lightheaded after what went down with the Beta, her husband.I had seriously forgotten about it, I just wanted to sit and enjoy the much talked about moon ball. Then, I suddenly remember something as I checked my digital wristwatch which not only displayed the time but also the dateAugust 16, 2021 - 10:05:55 pmNo freaking way!It's my birthday and I had totally forgotten. I had so many plans for this day, I mean Tristan had plans, he wanted to make it special because my birthday always fell on a special day in the werewolf world every other year.My mood dampened immediately. I felt a pang of hurt at how horrid my life had turned out these couple of months. This is not how I planned to celebrate my eightee
Chapter Forty two: You're in heat! Gianna's POV"Tonight is the red moon festival, a time when our pack comes together to celebrate the power of the mate bond. This is a sacred tradition that goes back to the beginning of our pack's history, and it is a reminder of the importance of love and family. As the red moon rises, we think of our ancestors, who first discovered the power of the mate bond, and we honor their legacy. We remember that we are connected not just by blood, but by something deeper and more meaningful. We are a family, united by love and loyalty"Yes, the Alpha was reading his speech and instead of listening. I was busy looking at his lips and he on the other hand was looking directly at me, his eyes looking like they could pierce into my soul, making me extremely uncomfortable.What is this man doing to me?"As the red moon sets, we carry this connection with us into the future. May it guide us through all that we face, and may it keep us strong and united as one.
Chapter forty three: The first KissDane's POVI know my presence repulsed her and she must probably think the only thing I bring her is pain but truly I do not mean most of the things I say or do to her.Seeing her in pain was doing bad things to my body and my territorial instincts had gone over the roof since I could smell her heat all around her messing with my senses every time.I wanted to be by her side at all times.Imagine my shock when the pack doctor said she needed blood transfusion and I was the only one compatible with her. I had never seen anything like this before but I couldn't deny the fact that it felt good.My only wish is that she succumbs to her heat and agrees to be my Luna. At least I know there is a fifty percent chance for me, the sexual tension between us couldn't be denied but I am obviously still concerned that she might not.I hear a knock on the door in Gianna's room, she is fast asleep, the effects of the medications were working on her already."Yes
