Her mate

LARISSAThe candles were in place. The plates were in order. The cutlery was perfectly placed. The chandelier had given the setting a sparkling finishing touch. My heart was giddy and full, because I’m sure Ryan’s gonna love this dinner surprise that I’m preparing for him. “Here it is, Ma’am.” Anna walked in from the kitchen with the freshly baked cake. She set it on the table, completing my perfect dinner table. Ryan loves chocolate cakes and I made him one. I cooked his favorite dishes too. I’m just so over the moon and I want him to be too when I finally tell him the big news. “Ma’am,” Anna called me softly. She had that nurturing smile that always showed she loved me but also that she was worried. “What is it?” I asked her softly. She’s been my handmaid since I became Luna. Our bond wasn’t just a boss and maid bond anymore. It has already strengthened beyond that. She could easily be the godmother of my child when he comes nine months later. “Don’t you think you’re doing a b

INDEFINITELY.The word echoed countlessly in my head, almost causing an explosion up there. It had just one meaning and I knew that, but I still hoped to the moon goddess that it would have a different meaning right now. Please, dear goddess. I didn’t wanna seem so broken and shattered by the news. At the very least, I wanted to protect my dignity and pride but I couldn’t control my tears. I couldn’t hold them in. I just couldn’t. How could I when I’m about to lose everything I’ve held dear all my life? How could I, when I’m being faced with the worst situation of my life?“Baby…” Ryan whispered, reaching for my hand. I retrieved both, refusing to let him touch me. He scoffed in exhaustion and stood. He didn’t leave the room though. He was just pacing. “I’m sorry. God knows I didn’t wanna hurt you like this. I’m just in a very tight spot at the moment. There’s nothing else I can do except this.”“Why?” I looked at him with a blurry gaze. The tears had blurred my vision. “Why is br

Betrayal

I was hyperventilating. Tears were silently rolling down my face. My heart was throbbing in pain. And all because of the big screen in front of me and every single word being uttered by the newscaster.There were pictures of Ryan and Juliet at the corner of the screen, with the headline ‘The greatest lovebirds of all time’.Ryan had taken her to the event he had in Paris. He’s been taking her literally everywhere now. He started out by convincing me that the elders wanted him to show Juliet off a bit since she’s his fated mate, and it would be blasphemy against the moon goddess to keep her hidden in the shelves. And also, showing her off would be good for his political image, since she comes from some influential family of some sort. So he subtly pushed me aside, and he’s been taking her to events we used to go together. And do you know what’s crazy? I can’t even be genuinely offended by it because she’s his fated mate. That’s her position. If he’d met her earlier, I wouldn’t have go

“I didn’t push her. I really didn’t push her. I swear it.” I mumbled for the umpteenth time. “I know, Ma’am. You don’t need to keep repeating that. I know you’d never hurt her like that.” Anna reassured me for the umpteenth time, holding my quivering hands tighter. I was barely breathing. My hands and legs were wobbly. I already ran out of tears, and that’s the only reason why my eyes weren’t pouring them down anymore, but best believe there are tear streaks on my face. The memories of the blood that had stained the spot where she landed invaded my mind, making me shudder. I can’t get it out of my head. She looked so in pain and she was screaming that I’d killed her child. Ryan’s panicked gaze and angry eyes on me made the moment more horrendous for me. That has to be the most horrid experience of my entire existence. She was rushed down here to the Pack’s hospital. I insisted on staying and waiting. Anna and I were brought into this cozy office because the doctors didn’t want me
