“Kyra?” Anton called as he burst into the room, ignoring the guards at the door who now had fearful expressions.“You are both in trouble,” Cynthia did notmind rubbing salt on their exposed wound, and she opened her mouth, ready to scream loudly when one made a move to hit her. “I will scream, try it,”“Watch your back,” they both warned her before they went into the room to join Anton.“She never came out after she walked in, alpha. I think we should check the—” the guard slammed his mouth shut without completing his statement about them checking to see if she’s thrown herself out of the window because Anton was already walking to the window and staring outside.“There is nothing out there to show that she jumped out.” Anton turned around, his eyes blazing red with fury as he grabbed the guard who was closest to him by the collar, lifting him up effortlessly. “Where is Kyra? Where did she go?”“I… I d…do…don't know.” The guard was shaking and sweating in Anton’s hold, “We were stand
“Kyra,” Anton called before he rushed over to where she was huddled on the floor. He wanted to wrap his arms around and pull her out so he could hug her close and know that she was finally safe, but he hesitated.She was staring straight ahead and when he placed himself in her line of focus, it looked as if she was not seeing him. She was staring through him while rocking and muttering words he could not hear.“Kyra?” He slowly moved to knee in front of her as he waved his hand in front of her face, but no reaction came from her. Anton was confused on what to do. He has never seen anything like this before, but she appeared the same way she was when she went into shock after her miscarriage. He was scared that if he touched her, he would spook her and there would be problems.He moved back and faced Cynthia, “Go out and tell the guards that she had been found. Everyone can go back to their duty post and call the doctor.”“Doctor? Is she hurt, Anton?” Tanya asked with widened eyes as
Just as Anton thought, he could not sleep that night, so he stood by his window and thought about all his weird feelings since the day he first set his eyes on Kyra.At first, he had been so comfortable with pushing everything on to his wolf, but tonight was an eye-opener for him. He just realized that he cared deeply for her, and he did not want to lose her. Even right now, his hands were still cold and clammy, and he still felt uncomfortable with leaving Kyra with Tanya, but Tanya was his friend and he trusted her to look after Kyra.“Yeah, the same way you trusted her before, and she threw her to the rogues!”“That was a one-time thing, and she already apologized and even brought Kyra back from that phase of shock,”“Yeah, whatever,” his wolf grumbled before he started to run around Anton’s head again, demanding that they return to check up on Kyra.Anton held himself back. He had already put fear in the hearts of everyone in his palace today, both big and small, by raising the al
Kyra was bent over the toilet as she retched. She’s been like that for a few minutes and right now, her throat was hurting badly, and the same could be said for her insides. She felt like she was about to vomit all her insides out, her throat was burning like she drank acid.When the urge to vomit finally died and her insides became calm, Kyra sat back on the floor of the toilet as she wiped her mouth with the back of her hand.She raised her hand up to look at it and saw blood. She kept staring at it like it was something foreign, but she did not look surprised at all; this was not the first time she was vomiting blood.It started two months ago with her just coughing up a small amount but with time, it became worse and now, she threw up lots of blood every now and then.She was dying, Kyra knew this for sure, but she was not panicking. She was very close to her goal, she was not going to let whatever it was that was wrong with her ruin everything. She would hold out until she had ki
“I’ll be hosting the ball next week,” Anton said while they were eating dinner that night after Kyra was done with her training with Herod. Kyra was sitting to his right and Tanya to his left in the dining room.Kyra’s hand tightened around her glass of wine as her heart began to drum with anticipation. The day was finally drawing closer and nothing was going to stop her anymore.“Hmm, the ball,” Tanya hummed, “The ball we’ve been waiting for is finally here again this year,”Anton hosted a ball to celebrate his pack for its riches and fruitfulness at this time of the year every year. It’s been like this for centuries and he was only following the culture his ancestors made.While it was a celebratory season for Anton and his pack, other alphas saw it as an opportunity to meet other alphas and build connections.“Yeah, and all alphas and their Lunas will be invited.” Anton turned to face Kyra, his brows were furrowed with concern, “Your first mate is going to be here too. Are you sure
As Kyra hugged Tanya close, her eyes fell on Anton who was watching their action. Kyra did not know if what she felt for him was love or just gratitude but she knew that there was a vast difference between her feelings for Tanya and her feelings for Anton.She’s been shoving these feelings down because she knew that they might not be given the opportunity to explore them. And also because she knew that Anton could never be with a woman like her. They were not mates and she was not a woman in the society. She was the daughter of an alpha and would have been a suitable march but all of that changed when her mate made her a slave by selling her off.“Come one, Tanya, how long will you keep hugging her for?” Anton said when the big began to last for more than two minutes.Tanya pulled away from Kyra and made a face at Anton, “Stop being jealous. You can hug her too,”Anton sneered at her, “I can hug her anytime I want,”“Awwwn, I keep saying it that the both of you will make a great coup
Kyra hit her fist on her chest. She felt like she was choking up but then she realized that she’s been holding her breath. She opened her mouth and breathed in through it and her nose at the same time and felt her lungs clearing up.The long awaited day was finally here and Kyra could not help the feeling of nervousness that was threatening to overwhelm her. She was sweating even when the weather was cool and her chest was tight with anxiety. She hoped that everything would go smoothly and as they had planned.“Miss Kyra, you need to stand upright so that I can arrange your gown properly,” Cynthia said behind Kyra and she realized that she was hunched over. She didn't even know when it happened “Okay,” Kyra said as she stood upright and she stared at Cynthia who was concentrating on her work through the full-length mirror in front of her. She might not have liked Cynthia at first glance but she did now. This young girl has helped her in more ways than one and she was usually the fir
“Ohh, and here comes the beautiful woman whom everyone is rooting for to become alpha Anton’s Luna,”“She’s so beautiful. Oh goodness,”“Kyra refused to attend the other ceremonies. Does she think she’s above them?”“I think she’s trying to act mysterious,”“Why are the two women coming in at the same time?”“I’m sure that Kyra knew Tanya would be coming in at this particular time and is trying to overshadow her,”“Wait, look, they are even wearing the same dress.”“What’s going on here?”Kyra’s mine immediately deviated from her wolf who was trying hard to come out, even her wolf calmed down as Kyra turned around to look behind her. Truly, like people were saying, Tanya has just stepped in, and she was wearing the exact dress that Kyra was wearing.Kyra’s mouth dropped open in shock. Tanya’s hair was also styled the same with hers, and they had on the same jewelry. What was going on? This was not part of the plan.Tanya picked out a bright red dress that complimented her dark red hai
“No, calm down,” Kyra tried to suppress her wolf, but it was impossible. She could feel her fangs elongating and her claws coming out, so she turned to flee down the hall. “Kyra! What’s wrong?” She could hear Tristan's voice right behind her and knew that he was following her. “No, no,” Kyra was chanting in her head, but her wolf was refusing to cooperate. She should never have accepted to dance with Tristan in the first place when she knew that all she wanted to do was sink her claws in his chest and bring out his heart then feed it to dogs. Kyra wanted him dead! She should never have listened to Anton and danced with him. Now, her wolf was going to come out and get in a fight with him. She was not only going to scatter the ceremony that was going on, she might end up dead because Tristan was an alpha and by right, he was stronger than she was. Though she knew that Anton would not let Tristan kill her, she did not want to ruin their plan.Kyra kept shoving people out of her way
What in the name of the moon goddess was going on? Everything seemed to be happening in the opposite direction of all her plans and Kyra was having big issues with keeping up.First, she almost lost control of her wolf and ruined the party, but Tanya’s entrance brought an end to that. Secondly, Tanya wore the same gown as her, and it caused people to start whispering bad things about her. Not that they were not already going so but it just seemed to increase their hate for her.“How have you been? Are you fine?”Thirdly, she was not seated with Anton or Tanya. She was alone and had to do most of her things herself, and she just had to be seated on the same table as her own father and directly beside him too.She had been too distracted by Tanya, who was explaining why they had the same gown on and listening to her apology to pay attention to the people sitting around the table she was assigned to. Why was her seat on the same table as her father? Who sabotaged her like this?“Kyra? Yo
