I3 years later....Kira waited in a restaurant for Evan to show up. She had been waiting for nearly an hour now but her mate was nowhere to be seen. She took out her phone and called his number, the phone rang for a long time but he didn't pick up, she had sent him several texts but he didn't even read those. She sighed. What could he possibly be doing? She knew he had taken over for his mother as the leader of the Rogues and that he had duties to fulfill. But he should still have time to spend with her, their making ceremony was coming up very soon, and she at least wanted to down a bit of time with him first.She and Evan had been a couple for as long as she could remember, it had started as friendship when they were Nine, be Evan had told her he liked her at 15. At that time Kira had already developed a huge crush on time, it was almost as big as the one she had on Asher. But she knew Asher would never want her like that, so she accounted for Evan's proposal. But she somehow felt l
Kira met up with Alex the next day. They spent their days in the shopping Mall. With both their dads being rich, they could afford to buy whatever they wished. Kira wasn't a very materialistic girl, she preferred her clothes casual, Alex on the other hand was a fan of shoes, she had an entire collection of them. She looked stunning whenever she wore heels, with her blond hair falling behind her back and her piercing blue eyes, no one could resist looking at her twice. Kira didn't feel inferior, to her, the opinions of those people didn't matter. The only person she cared about was Evan and he always told her how he thought she was the most beautiful girl in the world. It was enough for her." We should buy this, it's a matching necklace " Alex suggested looking over at a pair of beautiful diamond necklaces. Both looked shiny and expensive, they were joined together by the locket which each formed half piece of a heart which was made complete only when brought together. It was awfully
Evan went back to his hotel feeling helpless and angry. He remembered the call he had received from the Lycan King, Killian was the one who had asked, more like demanded that he hold the wedding tomorrow. He already knew about the relationship between Evan and Alex, but now that things had gone serious between them, Killian was afraid that it might affect the engagement between him and Kira. He never loved Kira, he had always thought of her as a friend, but not that he was forced to marry her tomorrow he couldn't help but despise her. He wished he had never gotten engaged to her in the first place. His heart belonged to Alex, she was the one he loved and he wished to have her as his mate. However, a promise had already been made that he and Kira would get mated. It was also a way to further boost the development of the Rogue pack. Even though the rest of the Packs had treated them a lot better ever since Evan became friends with Alex, a marriage would further make things easier for t
Kira traveled with her father to the Lycan Empire. Ryan wasn't very pleased by the change of events, but he didn't make a fuss out of it either. The palace was filled with people, mostly the servants who were putting the reception avenue in order. " Did he give you the reason why he changed the wedding date?"" No Dad, he said the King decided it. Evan however didn't protest, I'm not sure he is very happy with the change of plans, however. Maybe he has a lot of work to do and needed to focus on them first "" Work, right " Ryan snorted " If you decided that you don't want to marry him, you can tell me and we can call this wedding off immediately. I don't want you spending even a moment of your life with someone you don't love "" We've been together for so long, if I didn't love him then I would have broken up sooner," Kira said. She knew her father knew about her fascination with Asher, he was the only one who knew. So he thought that she only agreed to marry Evan because he was h
Kira is stunned by the kiss. Her eyes widened in surprise as she felt Asher's tongue slid into her mouth, sucking and licking, almost like he wanted to devour her. She couldn't believe that the person kissing her was none other than the man who had treated her like air all those years, the man she had felt a deep connection to from the very beginning. She wouldn't have believed anyone who would tell her that Asher would be kissing her so passionately one day. It felt like a dream, but the kiss was very much real, and his hands going under her clothes were real as well. Kira shivered when she felt his fingers against her thigh, going higher toward her pant which was already drenched in slickShe had never felt so aroused before. There was something about Asher that drove her crazy, he was the only one who could have his way with her and she wouldn't even bother to stop him. Except for now, because as much as she enjoyed the caressing, as much as she wanted him to continue touching her,
Kira regretted it the next morning. When she woke up with her body aching, and blood coating the white of her bedsheets, she felt dread fill her. She didn't know what had gotten into her and why she had let herself do something like this. She had slept with Asher, the Future King of the Lycan Empire and her best friend's brother. She doesn't know whether to refer to Alex as her best friend anymore, a real friend wouldn't sleep with her friend's husband. She felt anger at the truth, and maybe that was why she had slept with Asher, to get revenge and back herself feel better. But she doubted Evan would even care that she hadn't been loyal to him. He would probably be happy that he had a reason to continue cheating. She felt hatred for him.Kira got rid of the sheets and went to the bathroom to freshen up. Her body was aching, Asher hadn't gone easy on her last night, and she had enjoyed it. Just thinking about the passionate sex left her burning, at the end she had to finger herself to
" Why are you doing this? " Kira couldn't help from asking. She was leaning heavily against the wall as Asher helped her put her clothes together while placing kisses on her skin. For as long as she could remember their relationship had been fire and ice. He hated her when they were six, and then he started acting kind to her as they grew older, but he ignored her completely as they became teenagers. Kira would always question herself about what she had done to him to deserve his treatment. Whenever she asked him he would snap at her. So she decided at the end to avoid him. Since he didn't want her around she would make herself scarce.But now Asher was kissing him, fucking her, and telling her that she belonged to him, that he would treat her a lot better if only she gave him the opportunity. There was a part of her that told her he might be playing a trick, that there was a reason he was showing interest in her, and that the moment he got what he wanted he would leave her. By then s
Kira's life in the palace was rather uneventful. The only person she had for company was Alex, and Kira would rather not want to spend any more time with her than necessary. She still tries not not hold a grudge against Alex, but it's easier said than done. She does her best to avoid the princess, especially now that Evan isn't even bothering to hide his affair. Earlier that morning he had told her that he planned to spend the day with Alex, he said she was free to invite Asher to her room if she wanted to, he didn't care.But the last thing Kira would do was to invite Asher, she might be sleeping with him but she refused to admit that she was doing it voluntarily. Asher came back a few days in the two weeks she had been in the palace, mostly to have sex, then tell her how much he liked her, he would disappear again. She doesn't know why she let herself fall for the prince or why she always allowed him to have his way with her. At this point she wasn't even sleeping with him as paybac
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
