Gianna POV
I flicked my eyes open rapidly, expecting to still be in the hellscape of my nightmare.
Unsure of where I was or what was real.
It took me a moment to realize that I was in my own bed, safe from the terrifying creatures of her dreams.
I woke up disoriented from the nightmare drenched in sweat and with a racing heart, overwhelmed, emotionally struggling to calm my racing heart and ease the knot in my stomach that refused to go away.
I was dreaming that I was being chased by a real rogue wolf in the middle of nowhere, and he succeeded in tripping me before he sank his sharp canines in my neck.
I’m relieved; it’s all a dream.
” No, not all of it.” Clara exclaimed.
“What do you mean?”
” You really got marked the other day.”
Yesterday’s event struck me hard, our making out, then him marking me, then me going unconscious.
That fucker marked me without my permission.
I’m going to kill him.
“It’s not him; Eros did it with my blessings.”
” You what!!
“How could you do that? You traitor wolf bitch,” I did nothing wrong, I want my mate” “After what he has done for us, you still want him; don’t you have some dignity to let you in?
“Eros always wanted us; your stupid humans are strolling.”
“Emilio hurt me deeply when he rejected me; he didn’t want me in the first place.””
” Now that you’re bearing his mark, you have to accept that.”
“He will never accept me, and I will never accept him now. I get lost. I will deal with it later. ”
I blocked her to the back of my mind. I rubbed my face with my palm.
My goodness, what I’m going to do now is not.
I can’t have other heartbreaks. Now we’re bonded.
The pain will double when he rejects me for the second time.
The door’s unlocking interrupted my train of thoughts.
Emilio shows up with a tray of food in his hand. It looks delicious, the divine smell of coffee and pancakes hit my nostrils, reminds me how hungry I am, but I won’t boost his ego by eating it.
” Please eat , you need food , you. You lost so much energy from passing out, plus you’re hungry. ”
” How the fuck did you know that I wouldn’t eat your food? ”
” I can read your mind baby. I marked you, now I can feel your emotions and hearing your thoughts “, he smirked.
“Stop reading my mind, bastard ” I hit him with the pillow.
“Calm down tigress, you need your energy to complete our mating ritual” he winks.
“In your dreams, Jerk ”
He burst out laughing.
It’s the first time he’s been carefree with me.
A small smile formed on my lips.
“I’m sorry Gianna ”
A little frown took place on my face.
” About what ”
” For being harsh on you. ”
” Stop reading my mind ” I snapped at him.
” I’m really sorry I should, it was treated like that.
” Please go , I don’t want to talk about it. ”
” Okay, I’m going, but please have your breakfast. ”
After he shut the door behind him, I burst in tears. Why is he apologizing now ?
What does he want for me ?
Why is he confusing my heart?
No, I can’t trust him. No way, I will let him manipulate me
Ayann POV
I ordered my men to run a background check on Emilio and Charlotte’s relationship.
I want to know what she’s hiding from ?
We have been together since we were kids.
We grew up together, we attended the same high school, she never dated anyone except me , she was always faithful to me, and so am I.
She always tells me that I’m the love of her life.
The first man for her and the Last
She vowed that even if she finds her mate, she would reject him for me, and I would do the same.
I rubbed my face with my palms.
I need a strong drink
Since Charlotte disappeared , all I do is drink and work, I can’t sleep, and I have lost my appetite.
I can’t reset before bringing her back home safely first, then i will confront her with my questions.
A knock on my office door took out my trance
“Come in,”
My beta and my best friend walked inside, holding an envelope .
” Ayann, this is the private investigator report that you asked for. ”
” Thank you, Thomas, you can take your leave.”
“Okay , I’m here if you need anything. ”
I hold the envelope with a trembling hand; a part of me is afraid that what inside will change everything
And another tells me there’s nothing between Charlotte and Ayann. It’s just me hallucinating. Charlotte loves me, and she will never betray me.
I finally had the guts to open it, and what I saw rocked me hard.
I couldn’t believe my eyes, its pictures of Charlotte and Ayann fucking each other’s brains out in different locations.
I looked up in shock, mouth agape.
Unable to function from shock, i sat down on
The unexpected news sent an electrifying jolt through my body, leaving me speechless.
I felt a sudden freeze of disbelief as the reality of the situation sank in. I felt numb and cold inside.
It can’t be real; it must be fake. Charlotte will never do this to me. She can act selfish sometimes and selfishly observed, but she will never cheat on me . I shook my head.
His shock wore off, replaced by anger.
He grabbed the office table and smashed into the wall.
” Ahhh ” he growled in pain and anger.
Tears of betrayal sting his eyes
” Why Charlotte, why, why do you lie to me, why” he screamed in agony.
” I fucking rejected my fated mate for you. I hurt and humiliated my mate for your sake for you ”
I slammed my fist on the wall, making a huge crack in the wall.
