“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
Kyra paced around her room, anxiously wiggling her fingers nervously. Her eyes darted to the window when she heard a knock, and she quickly ran to slide open the glass to allow Tristan to come in. The window was very tall and wide, Tristan could pass through easily with another man his size and Tristan was not a small man. Most of the time, she was grateful for this window because how would she be able to see him anytime she wanted to and could not leave her father's palace? Her room was also at the end of the building, far from her siblings' rooms so they won't be disturbed here. “Did anyone see you?” She asked him with wide eyes as she looked him from up to down to check if he sustained any injury from climbing the wall to her room that was on the third floor of her father's palace. “You worry too much.” Tristan laughed as he jumped inside the room and wrapped her up in a hug. “Of course, I worry too much. It's because I love you,” Kyra said as she hugged him back, breathing in
Kyra flinched in fear before gathering herself together. She wiggled her hands together in nervousness and nodded, “Y… Yes dad, he is my mate and I'm pregnant for him." She was not supposed to say that last part now. She was supposed to tell Tristan the news first.Kyra felt cold sweat drip down her back as the whole place became quiet. She felt Tristan stiffen behind her and her father who was standing in front of her was now looking at her like he was about to kill her. All she could see in his eyes was anger, hatred and disgust.“You are pregnant for this bastard." his voice was cold and quiet as he pointed at Tristan who had now stepped out from behind her. He was not asking her, his words were more of a statement that held venom. “Y.. yes" she nodded“Did you just say that you are pregnant with my child?”Kyra turned to look at Tristan with a wide smile that became shaky and finally fell from her face when she saw his expression. He was not looking happy. Far from it, he was l
“Just have a look at yourself. Not only did you kill your mother, you also want to join hands with the enemy to kill your father. How could you be so stupid? You are nothing but a useless daughter. You are nothing but a traitor and traitors are not welcomed here. You cannot excel in your studies or your training. You are weak and your wolf is weak too. The only thing you know how to do is spread your two legs for your pack's enemy. Don't worry, I will see to it that you spend the rest of your life spreading your legs to whoever wants you to. Get the hell up and prepare to be sold out to the highest bidder. That's if anyone would still want you after finding out that you are pregnant. If no one wants you, I will rip that thing out myself.”Her father turned away. He paused at the door and said over his shoulders, “I wish your child would also kill you at childbirth like you did your mother, you evil thing." Then he was gone, slamming her door hard and his footsteps echoing down the hal
Kyra was going to run. Yes, that was her plan because she couldn't sit back and allow her father to sell her off to an alpha she knew nothing about. Most of her father's friends already have mates of their own, she would be damned before she is bought and turned into a sex slave.Even if her father hated her, never allowed her to go close to him and her siblings always shoved her off and sneered at her whenever they met each other whether in the corridor or at school, she had never been treated badly to the extent of being made to do laborious jobs. Her father did not turn her into a slave — he did not allow her to lift her hands even for one day to do any hard chore — and that's exactly what she might be turned into if she sits back and allows her father to sell her off. If only she had known, if she had not been foolish and blinded by the mating bond between her and Tristan, she would never have been led on gullibly. Now, she was pregnant and all alone without anyone to console her
