Lisa drove the children to Ryan's house for Kira's party. Ryan's mansion was big and luxurious, they had to pass a big gate at the front before they arrived here. The front yard was already decorated with balloons and ribbons. She wasn't surprised to see that the party had already started, there were people whom she had never met before with their children, the women were dressed in expensive dresses and jewelry, and the men had suits whose designs probably cost more than the average person's salary. Apart from the children running around the place playing, she would have thought this was a birthday party at all. The atmosphere was too tense, she would have assumed this was a business meeting of some sort seeing just how many men and women were there." Alright, come down " Lisa helped Alex out of the car. Her daughter was dressed in a pink dress that fell above her knees, the design was a bit similar to the one she had made for Kira. Maybe the girls would bond over that. " There are
" Where is your Mother? " Asher couldn't help asking, because the curiosity was eating him up. Kira glanced up at him, she had frosting on her fingers and lips, her appearance was messy, but it wasn't as bad as Alex's. Asher's sister had ruined her dress completely, it was funny that she was the one who couldn't eat properly considering she was the oldest. She was a clumsy ass and Asher always had to look out for her. At this moment Alex was busy dipping something into the chocolate fountain, she was hardly paying attention to their conversation." My Mother? "" Yes, where is she? "" I don't know. Dad said she left when I was a baby. I don't worry much about her, I have my dad and he takes very good care of me. I don't need anyone else "" Do you know what she looks like at least? A picture may be, anything at all " Asher sighed in frustration when Kira shook her head. So his suspicions had been right, Kira didn't know who her mother was. Which means that she had been raised by only
Lisa's head was aching, she could hardly open her eyes, yet she had to force herself to remain in her wake. She thought of her children and knew immediately that she had to get them out, she needed to keep them safe. Lisa managed to pull her seatbelt off, she had hit her head against the steering due to the impact, and she could feel blood on her skin." A...Asher, Alex? Are you alright? "" Mom " Alex's voice was shaky. She was holding onto Asher " My leg hurts "" It's okay, don't be scared. Let me..." Before she could finish talking, the back door of the car was yanked off and a hand reached forward to grab Alex. Alex screamed and tried to get away but the man was too powerful. Another man also dragged Asher out of the car. Lisa's heart started beating fast in her chest when she saw her children being taken away! She screamed and pushed her way out of the car. She fell on her knees the moment she was out, her head was hurting so much and she had lost a lot of blood which made it ha
It took close to a day to arrive in the Moon-Dust, unlike the last time Lisa was here there wasn't a grand celebration held on her behalf. She had been hoping to be back her, hoping that one day she and Killian would get back together and he would bring her to the Empire to rule beside him. She never expected to come back for a different reason." I heard what happened " The Lycan King was just as she had remembered him. The resemblance between him and Killian was still very keening. " I'm very sorry you had to go through this, but I assure you that nothing will happen to your children. you can rest assured that I will do everything in my power to get them back Lisa could hear the sincerity in his voice. She knew immediately, that coming back to the Lycan empire had been the best choice. Even though she tried to be as helpful as she could, providing Killian with as much information as she could, it was still very difficult with the idea that her children were in danger and there was
" They want to meet together with me, i have no idea what Kerina is planning, but it can't be good since she had to kidnap my children for it." Killian at the letter in his hand, was holding himself back from tearing it apart. He had expected that the Queen of the rogues would reach out to him, but he never thought that she would make demands. She wanted him to go to the Rogue pack without any escort or protection, if he didn't do as she said then she would hurt his children. It was clear that this was a trap, but there was nothing he could do. If he wanted Alex and Asher back in one piece then he would do as she said." It is very dangerous to go to their village alone. Even as a Lycan, you can't possibly win against dozens of them "" I know father, but at this point, I have no other option but to do as she said. I can't anything happen to them. I had promised that I would protect them no matter what, and I will fulfill my promise. Besides, as vengeful as Kerina might be, she knows
" Children are the last thing I would want to have. They are a liability, if you don't have them you don't need to worry about them being kidnapped "" You must be so happy then, that you don't have any children "" I am delighted, " He said. Zayn noticed the amused glint in his brother's eyes, there was a look that he had also noticed on Lisa's face when they talked about children. It was the kind of look that told him they knew something he didn't. Zayn didn't like that look. " What? "" Nothing. I hope you continue being this ignorant and happy brother. I don't think you even deserve to have children at all "Zayn didn't give a response, he hadn't anything to say. Killian was right, he didn't deserve to have kids, and he didn't want them either. They continued making their way through the tall canopy of trees and bushes, there was a clear path that led to the village which lay deep in the forest. They passed by some wild animals who didn't dare attack them on sensing what they wer
They got back to the palace, and Lisa excitedly went to embrace her children, she was crying tears of joy when she saw that they were unharmed. " What happened? how did you get them back so easily " she asked him. Lisa had at least expected there to be a fight from the Rogues, but they had come back safe and sound, she was grateful for that but was also worried that something else might have happened. Why would Queen Kerina bother kidnapping the children if she was just going to let them go? It didn't make any sense." It wasn't anything important. Kerina just wanted us to supply them with some things they needed, their pack is going through a very hard time lately and she was afraid that no one would help, so she had decided to draw my attention to them " Killian said, he reached out a held Lisa's hand " I apologize Mi sol-ache, it's not ideal to help the people who hurt you and the children, but I can't forget my duties as the Lycan King, they might have been outcast from our Kingdo
The wedding went by nicely, Lisa and Killian exchanged vows and promised to love each other till death do them part, perhaps their marriage might last longer this time. Kira couldn't help thinking that all this was very romantic, she found herself having fantasies of what her own wedding would be like. Each time she thought of her wedding her eyes always went over to Asher who was seated beside his sister in the front row, she doesn't know why but she always pictured him as her prince charming. But she knew her feelings were one-sided because Asher had shown her how much he didn't like her. She had waved at him earlier but the only response she got was a glare." Don't worry, we will be going home " Her dad said when he saw the gloomy expression on her face, he thought she didn't want to be here anymore. He would have left the reception if he wished, but he didn't want to seem rude. Besides, Killian had said that he wanted to introduce Kira to Evan." Alright Daddy" Kira said. She tur
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
