When Alex got back she went to see Kira. Evan had been curious about why she wanted to see his wife, they had agreed to spend the entire day together after all. He had even wanted to take her to see his mother who was currently in Moon-Dust. His mother knew about the affair, and he was very happy that she preferred Alex to Kira, but that was mostly because Alex was the Lycan Princess" I have something important to discuss with her. " She informed him " I won't take long, we can hang out when I come back "" Alright. I will wait for you in Your Chambers "They exchanged a soft kiss and Alex made her way towards Kira's residence. She found the Lystone girl outside her room, Kira was looking at something in her hands with a soft smile on her face. Alex didn't get the chance to see what it was before Kira kept it away when she noticed Alex's arrival. There was a frown on her face when she saw Alex, unlike the smile she usually reserved for her before. Alex had noticed the changes in Kira
Kira was awoken from her sleep by rushed footsteps and loud yelling. She knew immediately that something was wrong. She rose from her bed and rushed outside, opening the door she found guards and some maids all running in the same direction, she was quick to notice that they were all going to Alex's Chambers, the panicked expression on their faces was enough to tell her that whatever had happened must have been serious. She thought of Alex who she had seen that day, she felt worry coerce through her as she also followed the people, she had to make sure that her friend was alright.A hand pulled her into an embrace. Kira struggled against the hold but froze in her actions when she saw who it was. Zayn was looking down at her with worry in his eyes, she didn't try to get away because she knew he wouldn't hurt her. He was the only person she could rely on in Moon-Dust, he treated her very well and Kira only had respect for the man." Uncle Zayn, what's happening? "" It's nothing you nee
When they got to the palace, Kira was nowhere to be found. They looked of course, and asked the servants, but for some reason, no one had seen her. Asher was getting frustrated because he wanted to ensure that she was safe, she wouldn't have left the palace without telling anyone, and she didn't have any vehicle in the palace, She couldn't even drive for goodness sake! For where the hell was she? He understood if she didn't want to be with Alex at a time like this, Kira probably thought that this was Karma getting back at his sister for all the hurt she had caused her. But Alex was making dangerous claims that could put Kira's life in danger. He wanted her here to prove those claims wrong. Asher didn't believe his sister, he felt bad for it but he couldn't believe that Kira would ever do something like this. Kira, the sweet girl he knew who was willing to remain in a relationship even if it hurt her because she was afraid of what people might say about her, she didn't want to prove t
Ryan nodded. They got into the car and drove through the forest. They barely made it out before the sound of growls and barking filled the air. Soon something strong hit the side of their car which caused the vehicle to roll over. Kira let out a terrified scream as their car toppled over. Her dad was quick to regain himself, he was quick to get out of the car and he pulled her out of the car." Stay behind me " Zayn came to stand in front of them protectively. Kira was able to catch a glimpse of the large Wolves that had been the cause of their accidents. They were almost a dozen of them, all large and intimidating, they could send fear down the spine of anyone who they faced, however Zayn wasn't looking intimidated. He narrowed his eyes at the Brown wolf who was standing in front of the others, clearly he was the leader. Although Kira had never seen this Wolf before, she knew it was one of Asher's Wolves. " You can change back if you wish to have a decent conversation "The wolf grow
Asher stood on the edge of the cliff, he was frozen and couldn't bring himself to make a single movement even as he heard Evan calling his name. He looked down at the forest below where his beloved and fallen, possibly to her death. No, even as a werewolf it would be nearly impossible to survive such a fall, especially not when she had also been greatly injured. His heart was beating so fast in his chest, the pained howls and growls of his wolves made blood rush to his ears. He only realized that tears were falling down his face when his blurred vision cleared up again.For a very long time, the world was frozen. No one made any movement, Zayn and Ryan who had also arrived couldn't believe what had happened. They didn't see Kira falling, but they had heard the gunshot, and seeing that she was nowhere to be found, it was easy to piece together what had become of their precious daughter. While Ryan was completely heartbroken and couldn't bring himself to feel anything else, Zayn was tre
When Kira woke up, she found that her entire body was hurting. She was hardly able to lift a finger. She stared up at the branches of trees that towered over her. Her body was too painful to move and her stomach was cramping so hard due to hunger. She had been unconscious for two days now, the voice in her head told her. She was able to heal her broken bones but her body was still very sore and littered with bruises. She remembered how she had ended up like this. She could almost see Evan raising his gun at her, telling her how much he hated her, and then taking the shot that led her to fall to her death.It was still hard to believe that Evan would do something like this to her. She had thought that he considered her his friend, she even tried to explain everything to him but he didn't listen, he wanted to kill her because he was afraid she might try to harm Alex. At the end of the day, he had almost killed her for Alex. She wanted to feel angry and hateful, but the only emotion that
She had no idea how long she had been walking, but soon her legs grew tired and the fruits she had kept away were all eaten at the end. Even though the sun was going down, yet she hadn't managed to come upon anything that would give her hope of getting out of there. The trees were the same, she was almost certain that she was walking in circles at this point. Kira sighs and doesn't know what to do with herself. She was hungry and tired, the thought of dying in this place, alone and with no chance of anyone ever finding her was what kept her going or else she would have given up a while ago. Kira leans against one of the large trees to catch her breath. She thought of that little snake she had seen before and wondered if she should have followed it, snakes also needed food to survive right? And so far she hadn't seen even a little ant on her way, maybe it could have led her to something that might have aided her. Well, it was too late to feel remorseful now, the most she coul
Kira stares at the handsome man in front of her, she is almost convinced that this is all a part of her imagination. She was sure that a snake had been there not a minute ago, maybe the stress was finally getting to her. Or perhaps the fruit had an effect on her after all, if this was how she was destined to die then there was no point fighting. " Am I seeing things? Are you a part of my imagination? "The snake man leans forward and flicks her forehead. "What do you think? Do I look too handsome to be real? " There was a smirk on his face, and truly it made him look surreal. His hair was a dark shade of yellow, almost golden, and his eyes were unlike anything she had seen before. He was beautiful, a lot like something out of a well-designed art. " This is your cave? "" Yes "" Those it mean that there are others here as well? " Kira's eyes brightened and hope bloomed in her chest. If there were other people here then it means she wasn't alone as she had thought. She would be able
Asher stepped out of the car. His gaze was focused on Kira the moment he was out, he saw that she wouldn't even meet his gaze as she stood behind the golden-haired man. His fist clenched as he walked towards them, hoping to make himself as intimidating as possible. He couldn't help feeling betrayed by the fact that he wasn't the first person Kira had reached out to when she got out of that damn forest. He didn't even know how long she had been out, how come no one had told him? If it wasn't for him finding out himself then he would have probably gone on thinking that the love of his life was still dead." What are you doing here? " Zayn asked him. The man was shooting him a murderous look as he moved in front of Kira and Knox, shielding them away from Asher like the Lycan king was a monster out to kill them. " you shouldn't be here!"" Why not uncle? Why shouldn't I come to see Kira for myself? After all, no one was willing to inform me about her still being alive. I've been searching
Kira had arrived with Knox some time ago, her father had been very happy to see her just like she had expected. But she didn't even need to explain to him how she had survived, he seemed to know to have known already which made her a bit anxious. She was afraid that if her father already knew she was alive then it would mean that Asher and his family must have found out as well, it would only be a matter of time before they came for her right. But Ryan had assured her that apart from him and Zayn no one else knew about it. Knox had stuck to her side the entire time, he didn't say anything and had only watched our interaction with her father. Ryan glanced at him and he immediately knew that this had to be the dragon Boy the dark wolves were after. The golden hair and eyes gave away his identity.After making sure that Kira and the Dragon were settled, he immediately increased security in his mansion. He was also afraid that the Lycan family might find out about Kira and they would imme
Asher is relieved because finally, his hard work is paying off. He was on his way to finding the love of his life, the Dark Wolf had told them the reason why Kira had been taken and he had even given out the location where Evelyn was being kept. The man however refused to confess about where the rest of his pack members were. But Asher was confident that with time the man would give out, Afterall Ace's torture method was not light and Asher was even surprised that the Aloha hadn't spoken up yet.Ace came to find him that morning, there was panic on the man's face and Asher knew immediately that something had been done wrong. " He was killed, " Ace said. He led the way to the dungeons and the Lycan King was greeted with the heavy stench of blood. Their captive was lying in a pool of his own blood, his eyes were wide and lifeless, and a deep cut stretched across his neck. Asher glanced at the discarded knife in the corner of the room and sighed." How did they get in?"" I have no idea.
Slowly, a month passed by. Kira had already gotten used to her new life, and now that she thought about it life here wasn't really as bad as you thought. Knox had been very good to her, he gave her everything she needed. From time to time she would still bring up the topic of getting out of the forest, he would always shut her down before, but now she could already see that his reluctance was facing away gradually. She would tell him interesting stories about her life outside and the place she visited. And that was what had managed to catch his interest. He wanted to see a lot of the things she had mentioned, and Kira was willing to show him.And finally, Knox had given in. " we can go outside, but only for a little while. We will come back as soon as you see your dad, is that fine with you "" Yes, that's perfect " Kira was so excited that she hugged him. He wrapped his arms around her tightly, he buried his nose in the crook of her neck, and took in a deep breath of her scent. Kira
Asher and Ace exchanged looks again. Asher didn't believe what this man was saying one bit, at first he had been willing to take his words seriously but now he was beginning to wonder if everything the man had told him so far had been nothing but lies. Was he also lying about Kira being alive? Maybe he had let himself be captured so that he could deceive them. Asher felt anger and he took a threatening step towards the man. " Do you think we are stupid? I gave you a chance to save your pathetic life and now you are lying to me?" " I SWEAR! I am not lying!"" You expect me to believe that a Dragon resides in that forest? The same forest that has been in my kingdom for decades?"" You have to believe me, Your Majesty! I swear that I am not lying. The reason we took her in the first place was to have her lure the Dragon out of the forest. I have no reason to lie to you, please you have to believe me. "Asher's fist clenched by his side, he really wanted to punch this man hard in the fac
There were places in the Forbidden Forest she hadn't explored despite having walked around it for days. Or maybe Knox just hadn't wanted her to find them yet, Kira came to learn that he was able to do things like that, hide places he didn't want her to see then reveal them later on when he wanted her to find them. The little things she had read about Dragons never gave them away as magical creatures. Sure at one point they were considered the most powerful shape shifters that roamed the earth, but she never knew they could do magic. Whenever she asked Knox about his powers he would just tell her that it was something that came along with behind a mix of blood. She had no idea what he meant by that. Dragons didn't mate with other species, so their bloodline was always pure. But then again maybe that was a part of history she hadn't read. Maybe Dragons did mate with others, maybe Knox was a crossbreed between a dragon and a witch, that would explain his powers. But she had never really
Zayn went to find Ryan the moment he learned of the truth, it wasn't easy for him to do this because he remembered Evelyn's warning, she had begged him to not tell anyone or else here is life might really be in danger, but he couldn't just stand outside and watch his daughter suffer. Zayn knew that the only person who might love Kira as he did was none other than her adopted father. Ryan had been the one to his Kira and he had taken good care of her, Zayn still owed him a lot and he hoped that this would be enough repayments for him. Besides she didn't want to have to rely on Killian to find his daughter, he didn't want his nephew to know about this matter as well. Zayn left Moon-Dust and went to the human world to see Ryan, he was surprised that Ryan's bodyguards let him into the house willingly and didn't even try to stop him or question him, he wondered if Ryan might have known about his coming. Zayn made his way into the house, he found the person he was looking for seated in the
* * *Evelyn knew Zayn was looking for her, she had to have known. What he wasn't sure of was how she had managed to stay hidden for so long. Zayn was sure that Evelyn wasn't a very smart person, if she was she wouldn't have done what she did. He had always found her incredibly annoying, when they had got caught and charged with the crime of wanting to kill Killian, it wasn't the thought of going to prison that annoyed him, but the thought of being stuck with Evelyn again. Thankfully they hadn't been locked up together. He never liked her, she had always been a tool for him to use, and when he had no use for her he wanted her as far away from him as possible.So when he heard of her escape from Prison, even though he knew where she had hidden he didn't bother telling his brother about it, because he never wanted her to come back, he didn't want her to have the chance of meeting their daughter, he had wanted to keep Kira as far away from her despicable mother as possible. But if only h
A week after his coronation, Asher focused all his attention on recruiting more men into his army. His parents had left on a vacation, because now that his father wasn't king anymore they wanted to make up for all the lost time they couldn't spend together due to how busy Killian was. Alex had also moved away with Evan since their marriage, although they still lived in Moon-Dust and his sister could afford to come visit anytime she wanted. But Asher didn't wish for her to come back, she might only be a distraction to him if she did, now that he was alone in the palace he didn't have to constantly worry about another attack on his family. He could focus fully on his thirst for revenge.So far the Dark Wolves hadn't made any action. Evelyn was nowhere to be found, which made him blame his uncle for letting her go in the first place. All this would have been much easier if they still had Evelyn in custody, she would be the one to answer the questions he desperately needed to know. For ex
