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
Alex knew that her brother still hadn't gotten over Kira's death, and she knew that she was still blamed ever and for what had happened, Alex I tried to explain to him on multiple occasions that this wasn't Evan's fault, he had only been trying to avenge her, at that time he had believed that Kira was the one responsible for the death of their child, so he didn't deserve all the hatred she got. Of course, Alex missed Kira greatly, they had been friends for a very long time after all and she loved the girl like her own sister. But what was done was done, at this time they could only make sure that something like this wouldn't happen again. But Asher was insistent on taking revenge on behalf of Kira. He didn't even know what enemy they were going to face. Her father had said something about the Dark Wolves, Alex had only heard about them from this store as her grandfather used to tell her when she was a little girl. The Dark Wolves were said to be the first-ever wolf pack to have exis
Knox smiled down at the little wolf. "You've been walking around so much, aren't you tired? How about you come back with me? " it's a lot better than roaming the forest alone. Knox wasn't so surprised when he saw the hesitant look on the girl's face. They were both strangers and she was afraid he might try to do something to her. He rolled his eyes at her fear, if he had any bad intentions towards her then he would have done something a lot earlier. " don't worry, you can trust me with your honor"He let go of her and started walking in the direction of the cave, he was confident that she would follow, and she did. Kira was still very wary of the stranger, but you also knew that you wouldn't be able to get out of the forest without his help, so if she went back with him then she would have the hope of convincing him to let her go. Knox was a lot faster than she was, so when she arrived in the cave he was already settled on the space beside his pool. There was a knife in his hand and
Kira felt Knox kissing her skin, she was surprised because she hadn't expected him to do something like that. They were strangers, she didn't even know his name for goodness sake. " What are you doing? "" Kissing you "" But. . . We don't even know each other " Kira tries to push him away but he holds her hand, he brings it up to his lips, and kisses her knuckles. The action is soft and overly romantic, Kira finds herself blushing. When he comes to kiss her again she doesn't push him away, or even complain. She knows that she shouldn't be doing this, making out with a stranger should be the last thing on her mind, but right now the warmth of his body against hers was soothing. Knox pulls himself away from her. " Do you have someone you care about? Apart from your father "The first person Kira thinks of is Asher. Memories of all the passionate nights they had spent together left her feeling bitter. Because she still wasn't sure whether Asher was on her side. She couldn't bring herse
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
