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 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
" Stupid Little Hybrid pest " Those words echoed in the silent room. Lisa couldn't concentrate on anything with the thick smell of blood in the place, it made it hard for her to even breathe without gagging. The cold metal pressed against her forehead was a reminder that she wouldn't live to see another day. The ocean-blue eyes that glared at her were the most beautiful she had ever seen. It was too bad that such a gorgeous man had to be a psychopathic asshole who was about to pull the trigger on her. How had she managed to land herself in such a situation? The feared Alpha, known to be the leader of the biggest Mafia group in the country trying to kill her.It was simply because Lisa was a stupid human who never listened. At this moment, however, she wished she hadn't gotten out of bed earlier that morning at all. * * *12 hours EarlierThere was something about the desperation that made one stoop to so many lows. Lisa knew the moment she came back home and met the eviction n
The Pathendra Hotel was in no way the number-one hotel in the country, rather it was popular for its club. Some said the Pathendra Hotel has the best strippers in the business, so it wasn't a surprise that the club was highly visited. Lisa felt wary, she had made sure to wear baggy clothes and a hat to make herself less attractive, she knew just how irritating Alphas could be especially when they saw something they wanted, they wouldn't stop at anything to get it. Luckily for her most of the Alphas were either focused on their drinks or the naked women who were twisting and twirling on poles. Her stomach twisted painfully at the thought of occupying a position on that platform, God, she did not want to be a stripper. Lisa was hoping that there would be other job openings, perhaps a waiter or even a cleaner. " Hello there, what can I get you?" the handsome bartender smiled at her cheerfully as she walked over to him. She figured the best way to get information was directly from an em
She was dead, there was no doubt this man was going to kill her. To think that she had escaped one situation only to land herself in a bigger one. If only she had known that something like this would happen then she would have never agreed to exchange clothes with that woman. Lisa felt so bitter, what the hell was she going to tell him now? These people had guns, if they weren't afraid to create havoc in the bar then they would certainly not be afraid to abuse her." I... I don't know where she is I swear! She asked me to trade clothes with her, I only wanted to help so I agreed "" So, you gave that bitch an opportunity to run, and by doing so made my job even more complicated " The Alpha's voice was cold enough to send a shiver down Lisa's spine. She had no idea who he was but she knew he was capable of doing bad things to her, he might even get away with it. She held the lowest position in her pack and her own parents might not even care if she died Lisa fell to her knees, tears f
Lisa found herself going back to her pack. She felt helpless and disgusted at herself for doing such, but she knew there was no other option. If she remained unprotected then that man might come looking for her, he might try hurting her. But if she stayed in the lack then he wouldn't be able to get to her, after all, everyone knew she was the mate of Beta West, and she didn't think that devil would be able to offend Beta West. If only she knew how dead wrong she was.West must have heard about her arrival because he was waiting for her outside her parent's house." I knew you would eventually return when you've suffered enough " He said with that demonic grin on his face. Lisa held back all her anger and stopped herself from barking out at him. The reason why she had returned wasn't because she suffered, it was because her life was in danger. She could afford to swallow her pride if only it would keep her away from trouble.Lisa walked passed him and went inside her room. Everything w
Killian glanced at the woman beside him, she had fallen asleep somewhere along the journey. No matter how long he looked at her he didn't find her as incredibly attractive as some of the women he dealt with in the past. Killian was like a king, and with such a title came the admiration or fear of everyone around him. There wasn't a single woman in the world he wanted and couldn't have. Yet this one in particular had tried to kill him, the sheer audacity was amusing. Even though she wasn't otherworldly gorgeous like Evalyn, she smelt absolutely divine. Her character and scent were the reason Killian had chosen her.So why did he not feel as excited as he was before? That was simply because Lisa hadn't given him the hard time he had expected. Somehow he had expected her to resist further or at least give him a fight, but she had instead come willingly. Maybe it was because he had a gun to her head. Or that he had killed her lover right in front of her? It was enough reason for her to be
Lisa's heart was beating fast against her chest, fear growing stronger with each passing second as she leaned against the heavy doors awaiting whatever danger lurked in the bushes. It was unfortunate for her that her life might come to an end in this way. After all the abuse she had gone through at the hands of West, she had ended up getting involved with someone even more dangerous in her hate to escape. To think that madman had taken her away from her home only to come feed her to his pet, whatever it was.'Oh please moon goddess, don't let me die like this ' She would do anything to live at this point, she was even willing to make a deal with the devil, maybe offer to be his slave. Hadn't he called her his mate? Why then was he trying to kill her?" Fucking bastard! Let me out of here!" Lisa banged at the doors angrily. Her actions seemed to have drawn the attention of not only Killian who had been sipping his wine absentmindedly but also the wolf which had been watching Lisa. Both

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
