Zarek's laughter cut me off, a harsh jeering sound. "Sacrifices?" he repeated, his voice oozing disdain. "You think killing your own brother was a sacrifice? You did that for me, didn't you, Kaidaira?" I felt the weight of my heart as it sank to the anchors of despair. "Yes," I whispered, the memory of that night flooding through my mind. "I did it to protect you-to protect our pack." Zarek was grinning from ear to ear. "And now, that same pack will profit from your sale. Poetic, don't you think?" I felt a chill dread creeping over me. "You used me," Zarek shrugged. "You were useful. Now you're not." ~~~~~~~~~ Being sold off by the one man you loved the most would leave any woman maimed for life.. In a world where fate and ruin are intertwined, one such fate will forever bind Kaidaira to the pack she has sworn to protect. But her heart belongs to Thane-an alpha, mysterious and brooding, who once stood on the receiving end of her blade. Torn between loyalty, love, and revenge, Kaidaira must choose: protect her pack or surrender to the all-consuming passion binding her to Thane. But one fact will not take long to be made clear as the darkness deepens, their love can definitely prove to be the one thing to bring about their doom. Thane was the only one who could defy the odds and save Kaidaira from herself, but will their bond survive against this encroaching darkness, or is this a love which has been forever entwined in a curse that will now claim them in its dance of self-destruction? No power greater, than that of a scorned woman.
View MoreKaidaira POVI was so shocked by what she said. She want to sell me back to Alpha Thane's pack. This can't be happening to me. Yet again I am nothing more than a commodity for sell. Why was life so cruel to me. “Have I done something so unforgivable that the moon goddess decides to punish me this way?” I asked myself.“I can't go back to Alpha Thane's pack” I screamed as everyone diverted their attention to me. The old woman gave me a stern look before turning to face the Alpha.“You either have to go back to Thane's pack or you die” Alpha Rashid said without mercy.All my hope was shattered before me, going back to Thane's pack is the same thing as death.“Send a message to Alpha Thane's that wwe are returning his slave back to him and it's coming with a price” Alpha Rashid back out orders to one of the general.“Sir what if he doesn't complies with us” one of them asked.“Then we would kill her” he said as if he was talking about kill an animal or something.I couldn't do anything
Kaidaira POVIsmail smiled at me wickedly as the person walked in.It was a young maid she smiled at Ismail giving me chills as she walked in. What does she mean by lies no one in tgis pack knows that Thane is the father of my child except lady Akira.But I know lady Akira won't say anything since she was trying to protect her family“What do you mean by lies?” One of the council members asked. “The child is not for any man, the child is for Alpha Thane” she said making me and Lady Akira look at each other in shock.I cover my shock expression up and tried to act tough. “Who is this Alpha Thane you are talking about?” I asked keeping my most innocent face. Like I was just hearing the name that made me scared and gave me butterflies for the first time.“I heard you when you were confessing to Lady Akira about the father of your child three days ago” she said making me shiver in fear.So Ismail had someone spy on us when my mother came to visit the other day. I was so foolish how cou
Chapter 103Kaidaira's POV When Thane finally calmed down, his voice was lower. He looked at me with fire in his eyes, but it wasn't anger, it was something else. "I’ll look into this," he said. "I’ll call the warriors, we’ll figure this out and thank you."He placed a kiss on my cheeks then he turned and walked toward the door."I’ll see you later," he said before leaving the room.As soon as the door closed behind him, I felt a rush of excitement in my chest. I did it. He believed it, my plan was working.I smiled to myself, holding back the laugh that wanted to escape. I turned quickly and walked out of his chambers, heading straight to my room.The moment I stepped in, my maids turned to me with wide eyes."You look happy, my lady," Isis said, stepping forward."I have good news," I said, barely able to hold it in. "He believed the evidence, he thinks Rashid is planning an attack."Their eyes lit up."Already?" Kiya whispered, her voice hushed so as not to draw the attention o
Chapter 102Alpha Thane's POV The walls of my chambers closed in around me like a tomb. I paced back and forth, my mind scattered.Where was she?The sun had begun to set an dshe wasn't back yet.I clenched my jaw and turned again, running a hand through my hair. I’d told myself not to panic. What if something happened to her?She hadn’t said where she was going this morning. Only that she had something to do, and her eyes, those seductive eyes had dared me to ask but I didn’t. I let her go.And now she was gone.I stopped near the table and picked up the cup of water that had long since gone warm. My throat was dry, but I didn’t drink. I couldn’t. Not until I knew where she was, not until she returned.I wasn’t used to this, the worry, the waiting. It clawed at me worse than any enemy ever had. I had experienced it once and I will never hope to again.Kaidaira had become a constant in my life again, a fire I could not tame, and I didn’t want to. But gods, she made it difficult not
Chapter 101Kaidaira's POV The deception I was weaving had to be flawless. Thane had to believe that Alpha Rashid was planning to betray him. Because if he believed it if I could place doubt in his heart, it would set the foundation I needed. Not just for my vengeance on those who’d wronged me, but to bring down everything they’d built from the inside out.And Thane… gods, he still loved me.That love was both my weapon and my curse.I urged the horse harder, past the canyon ridge where border scouts were often stationed, toward the stretch of valley that touched the outermost lines of neutral territory. It wasn’t patrolled as often. It was lawless enough to cover my tracks, and isolated enough to stage what I needed.A betrayal.An invisible threat.And a trail that led back to Rashid.I’d spent the night imagining it—replaying every whispered rumor I’d heard during my time in hiding, every piece of intel I gathered from staying in Rashid's god forsaken palace.Alpha Rashid kept his
Alpha Thane's POVKaidaira lay against me, her head resting on my chest her fingers traced slow, lazy circles over my chest, and though neither of us said a word, the silence between us felt... different.Not uncomfortable but heavy.I ran a hand through her hair, the scent of jasmine clung to her skin, blending with the faint hint of sweat and sex. I couldn’t stop touching her. Holding her. Breathing her in.If I had my way, I’d keep her in this bed forever. Away from the palace, away from the Calantha and her father, away from everything that threatened to tear us apart.She shifted slightly, her hand now laying flat over my heart. Her eyes lifted to meet mine."Thane?" She mumbled.I kissed her forehead. "Hmm?""I need to tell you something."I froze.My fingers stilled in her hair. My breath caught for just a second.That sentence, those words, they always led to change and I wasn’t ready for anything to change.I tried to play it cool, brushing my thumb along her shoulder. "Tell
