~Kiki~

It was as if Kade left and Alpha Kayden came back. The handsome naked man standing in front of me threw accusatory looks at me as if it was all my fault; as if I plotted some kind of conspiracy to lead him to my bed.

It was all apparent in his eyes. The guilt, the regret, and the blame.

"Alpha..."

I covered my nakedness with the creased sheets and looked up at him with questioning eyes. What was he thinking? He quietly put his black shirt on and went back to looking expressionless, as usual, until he realized most of his shirt buttons were gone.

He looked up at me as if I pulled those buttons out. He probably forgot how he yanked at his shirt and tossed it on the floor last night. All that felt like it happened a year ago. At least that's how distant this man seemed right now.

"Are you---"

"Hush, Kiki. How the fuck did I end up here? And why?"

"Why?"

"Why the hell am I in your bed?" I was taken aback by his harsh

    ~Kiki~"Dear Kendall White,This is Connor Meyer, the Alpha King's loyal beta. Thank you for reaching out to Storm Moon Pack. If it was really your birthday yesterday, my belated birthday wishes to you. You are one of the thirty four people claiming to be Ariyana to who I am responding today. You all got the date of birth correctly, which is not a surprise, considering the common knowledge that Ariyana was born on the day her dad died and the current Alpha King took over the Golden Dells. What you forgot to mention was your true identity. We have kept the Luna Queen's paranormal side a secret for a reason. If you are just another human or a she wolf and not a hybrid as you should be, please do not bother replying to this email. If you are indeed a hybrid, please let me know, and I will send an official invite to meet your potential parents. You will have to prove both your wolf and the hidden paranormal side to me before we even consider running the DNA test.It

    "Crap!"I jumped the signal and froze in the middle of the intersection, hitting on the brakes a little too hard and way too late. Inching my way back, I stalled the truck in an awkward position in front of the other waiting cars.Meeting Sibyl was a mistake! I was feeling much worse as I drove home. I went to her confused about the changes happening to my body, and as if those weren't bad enough, she talks about ominous things like death and blah blah, which made no sense at all.Out of nowhere, a police car moved forward with blaring sirens, asking me to pull over to the side. Wonderful!Zeta Archer's younger brother stepped out of the vehicle with a deep frown etched on his face. He was a stickler for rules, even when playing something as silly as Yardzee."Having a bad day, Kiki?" His frown changed to a smirk as I rolled my window down."Uncle Jon, hi." I smiled nervously at him, hoping he wouldn't write me a hefty ticket. He had already

    "Kiki, why does my cast iron pan look like THAT?My mom was in a terrible mood. She was like this on most days after a hard day at work. Pushing the pan on the dining table towards me, she got up from her chair."And that bland pasta you made, there was no salt in it at all. Can't you do anything right?"I heard her mumble the rest in a lower voice as she disappeared into her room."I can't wait for you to be kicked out of the pack soon."It didn't make any difference what she said. I had put up with her foul moods almost every day now. I was in a bad mood myself today, but unfortunately, not everyone could afford a punching bag.I changed quickly and went to the kitchen to get dinner started. There were more important things to do after this. Packing bags and leaving the pack before the Luna Ceremony for one. The images of Alpha Kayden and Sienna kept flashing as I went through cooking and cleaning.Luna Sienna. Alpha Kayden's

    "Take these flowers as well. And the tablecloth. Move it, move it!"Ivory ran around in a frenzy, and so did the other omegas, trying to decorate the stage for the ceremony. I couldn't care less."Ugh, not this blue, Kiki. The Luna is going to be wearing a Tiffany blue dress. The streamers have to be the same color."What the hell was a Tiffany blue? And why was that my problem?My luggage was in the pickup truck that's sitting in some auto shop. I didn't dare open the trunk to take the suitcase out when Uncle Jon was watching me. This town was small, and the cops were jobless. He showed up on the site instead of just having the tow truck sent to me, making my running away plan a big flop."Kiki! Chop chop."I grabbed the long coils of string lights and went around the dais to start hanging them from a nearby stake. Going around a tree and then coming back to the front of the dais, I tried to reach as high as I could.'Someone is watc

    I woke up with my nose buried in the wet forest floor, with dead leaves sticking out of my hair. My brain was all fuzzy until I realized I was stark naked.Shit!Pushing my palms into the ground, I bounced up on my feet and crossed my arms to rest my hands on the shoulders before looking around. It was cold and dark. I was typically terrified of such thick woods at the dead of the night.Not today. With my enhanced night vision and the full moon's beams filtering through the tree canopies, the dark didn't bother me.'Hi, Kiki.'A loud, high-pitched cry left my lips when I heard someone's voice calling my name. Must be a female ghost.There was no one around me, and it completely spooked me out. I moved away from the giant oak tree and looked up in fear. Benji and I loved watching horror movies, and every scary scene was playing out in my mind right now.'Don't panic. We finally meet.'"W-who?"

    A strange kind of fear had gripped my throat; it was as if my wolf could sense some dark magic.Skinwalkers!The feeling of dread doubled in my stomach. This could be my last day on earth. Skinwalkers had the power to kill the wolf, and I wouldn't survive much longer after that.But what did I have to lose anymore? I already felt quite dead without my mate. Cel agreed, but a part of my mind refused to believe there was nothing left for us without our mate.It was the same part of me that was still telling me to go to the ocean. I think I heard this voice before. It was there in all my haunting dreams about the dreadful storm. This voice had told me to quit fighting against the water currents and to go deeper into the calmer waters underneath.I had refused to listen to it back then, and I did the same even now. The voice sounded quite mad at Alpha Kayden right now. And it wanted me to forget him. It was devoid of any humanity and didn't care if Alp

    ~Alpha Kayden~Gusts of cool wind blew through my bedroom window as I pushed the curtains aside and stared at the moonlit sky. It was past midnight, but I couldn't catch a wink.Tonight was supposed to be a special night for me and Sienna. We had waited for this day for years so I could show her off to my pack as their Luna, mark her in front of everybody, and then carry her into my room to finish the mating ceremony.My dad and the pack had finally accepted an outsider with an open heart. It didn't come as a surprise to me. Sienna was undoubtedly lovable, and everyone knew she would make an excellent Luna.This was how it was supposed to be, and I had actually achieved my happily ever after with her. Not everyone was lucky enough like me to be with the love of their life.What was this gaping hole inside my heart then? It was as if my other half was missing. I constantly felt like there was nothing much to live for anymore.Axel was unusual

    ~Kiki~Every bit of my body was spasming under my skin. There was a lot of commotion happening around me, but I was feeling too weak to open my eyes. Just lifting those eyelids was taking a lot of effort.I had no idea how long I had been lying on the ground like this, smelling blood and death all around. Hot pain shot up through my arms as I tried to move. I think one of my shoulder blades was broken, if that was even possible. Maybe a few broken ribs too. I was about to fall back into the deep abyss of sleep, but then I heard his voice.Alpha Kayden's voice.'Mate!' Cel purred softly.My eyes flew open, and a sharp pain ran across my body when I barely moved to see if he was really here. A thick fog began to cloud my senses as I tried to balance myself on my palms before standing up. I closed my eyes again for an instant, battling to keep my consciousness.Someone reached for my arm to help me get up while a deep growl resonated from behin

    ~Kiki~ "Siren abode?" "Our home in the ocean. You've seriously been living under a rock, haven't you? No wonder we never saw you before." Her laughter echoed across the water, bouncing off the curious stares of the two sisters. "Do you remember the first time we met?" I shook my head as if a thick fog was obscuring my past. "Well, the siren abode is closer to where we first crossed paths," Haley continued, her voice turning gentle. Every full moon, sirens from all corners of the world gather there. It takes us just a couple of hours to swim from Storm Moon Pack, but for those farther out, the journey starts the night before. You see, not everyone can leave the ocean. We're the lucky few." "Um, so your mate is..." I trailed off, unsure if I was overstepping. A blush bloomed across Haley's cheeks, and her fingers unconsciously traced the pendant around her neck. "He's the Alpha King's nephew. I never knew sirens could feel such emotions until I met him. He's—" Eleanor cut in, he

    ~Kiki~The feeling of despair and hopelessness was soul crushing.Alpha Kayden had broken my heart countless times, every single time I saw him with Sienna, when he threw me into the dreary dungeons, and when he ignored the mate bond to choose Willow over me. But I had no control over those situations and could only hope for better days. Today was harder. It was me leaving him behind and choosing the ocean over him.The look on his face as I swam away from him would haunt me forever. I fancied believing so bad he actually wanted me the way he wanted his chosen mate.The only reason he slept with me was the mate bond. The bond was too powerful and it forced him to protect me from his pack and Victoria. He wouldn't have spared me another look if I wasn't his fated mate. He wouldn't have jumped into the ocean without thinking for a second if not for this pointless bond. None of these arguments eased the pain I felt when his face flashed through my mind. I had to do it. To let go of wh

    ~Alpha Kayden~"Kade!!! Fuck!!"I heard my Gamma's words before the howling wind took over, blowing my hair into my face as I made a nosedive to meet the raging waters below. Brilliant streaks of lightning blinded my vision while I strained to see if we were going to hit any sharp rocks that lined the rugged coastline.My heart was pounding in my throat, not out of fear of dying but with fear of losing Kiki. I was still midair with a plummeting feeling in my stomach when I heard a loud splash followed by a gasp as her body crashed against the water's surface.Frigid salty waves splashed and stung my eyes moments before my body collided with them. The currents were super strong, they pulled me down violently, tugging my body deeper and deeper. Peals of thunder now sounded distant as I tried to swim underwater, making my way to calmer deeper waters, away from the coast.I knew Kiki went this way because I would have easily caught her if she had managed to make it to the shoreline. It wa

    ~Alpha Kayden~Thirty Minutes EarlierMy meeting with Alpha Brandon went much better than I had imagined. Given that I already irked the Alpha King Kian, only a fool would go ahead and piss his loyal ally off as well. And I was that fool when I told Alpha Brandon that I could not go ahead with what my grandma had proposed.Grandma had pinned high hopes on this alliance and spoke on my behalf without consulting me. Once Willow left Thunder Bay weeks ago, I assumed it was over. But grandma and my Gamma Nash reached out to Alpha Brandon again and gave their yes before I even got to Dark River Pack.I expected Alpha Brandon to be furious for rejecting his daughter a second time. But instead of spewing angry threats and challenges, all he did was ask why I was turning her down. And when I told him I found my mate, he seemed to be completely convinced his daughter wouldn't be happy with me as my chosen mate while my true mate was around me.He just had one request for me: "Willow is very se

    ~Kiki~"Get some rest. We will do this again later tonight." Cel purred in contentment at her mate's words as he leaned in to kiss my forehead. I couldn't help pouting as he moved away, instantly missing the feel of his arms."I'll miss you.""I know, Kiki! Don't want to leave at all but I have to meet someone before the ball." I loved the way my name sounded rolling off his lips. He kissed me again and pulled the covers over my naked body.I watched his chiseled back as he picked his clothes from the floor. I wanted to memorize everything about him and about our time together. His delectable scent as he hugged me tightly, those gray eyes and the way they darkened so many times today, and that heavenly feeling when he was inside me.I closed my eyes, relishing every moment of the last few hours, about how Alpha Kayden let himself go. The sound of heavy footsteps slowly faded away as I drifted off into a blissful delirium.Not sure if it was the rumbling sky or the hushed whispers of P

    ~Alpha Kayden~Every day had been pure torture since the day I found out Kiki was my mate. I heard so many things about how powerful the mate bond was, had seen my dad wallow in grief for a good chunk of his life after losing mom, and had also seen how blissfully happy some of the couples at Thunder Bay were. Even the manwhore Alpha Blake was suddenly a different person. But nothing prepared me for when I found my mate. No amount of words came close to what it actually felt like once I knew Kiki was mine.My heart ached for her every single moment, and Axel was yearning to see her belly to be swollen with our pups. It breaks my heart that it would never happen. We would never know the beautiful babies Kiki could have given us. I wouldn't even know how she might have looked with my mark on her neck. This was agony. Pure fucking agony. My chest tightened every single time I thought about rejecting her.I have been desperately trying to keep myself together but failing. No matter how

    ~Kiki~ I cracked the window open to let the cool breeze in. It was right before dawn, and the sky was laden with dark rain clouds. Taking a deep breath, I closed my burning eyes. They were dried up of all tears after hours of crying and failing to catch some sleep. Despite the stuffy nose, I could still smell the pinecones and dandelions that were over a mile away. But it wasn't the smell of grass and wood I opened this window for. Cel was restless. The pain of being left high and dry by our mate was too much to handle. She couldn't feel his scent anymore. It was weak for the most part of the night, and now it was gone completely. Dark River Pack was huge and extended for several miles. Alpha Kayden was probably somewhere in the woods, running. Was he also not able to get any sleep? My wolf was pathetic. I tried so hard to convince her to stop thinking about him, but she kept me up all night, lying in the dark and getting her hopes up every time there was a faint noise in the hallw

    ~Kiki~"Oh no! Alpha Kayden will be furious. I'm not going to be the one telling him this news." Poppy started walking back and forth near the doorway, still holding the bags of chips she brought from Thunder Bay.It wasn't really my fault, was it? Did I ask him to break into my bedroom and sleep with me? He should be pissed at himself, and I should be mad at him too because that little bit of pain I felt moments ago was pretty bad when the heat hadn't even started. I could only imagine how much worse it was going to get when the actual heat kicked in.'Our mate is going to continue ignoring us. We don't have to wait for him. There are many others who would be happy to put us out of our misery.' Cel had turned rogue.She was the biggest fan of Alpha Kayden until he made out with Willow. She was so hurt she stopped saying good things about him since then. That didn't stop her from yearning for him all these days. But now she was just a lustful beast? It was scary that she wanted a mate

    ~Kiki~My mind was swimming in thoughts as we reached Alpha Blake's pack. How could the frail old woman be Moon Goddess's evil sister?Sibyl! Some things did make sense now.She disliked werewolves and never let Benji or Megan anywhere near her cottage when they had accompanied me in the past. She had also looked strangely disturbed when I showed her the mark on my back.She tricked Alpha Dimitri into believing that she was a seer. She was no seer. She was an imposter. Now I was pretty sure she was responsible for those rogue attacks she pretended to be foreseeing to make herself valuable to Alpha Dimitri and his pack. I bet she had a lot to do with Skinwalkers showing up in Thunder Bay pack lands too.Alpha Kayden was right about Skinwalkers. They weren't capable of attacking someone who had lost their mate. And yet, I found Alpha Dimitri fighting for his life when half a dozen of them were pitched against him. Sibyl brought them in and took care of their dead bodies before the warr
