Kieran's pov I sat in my office, my eyes fixed on the documents. It had been a long time since the work had been pending, since I had to deal with other things but it was high time I worked on it. “Fuck! How the fuck do I let them get to this point before attending to them?" I thought, groaning lightly. It's like I never learn. “We had other important things to deal with." King said. Spending time with our mate was definitely more important. There was a slight knock on my door, taking my attention of the documents for a minute and that was very much needed. "Come in..." I called and the door creaked open, revealing my Beta and Gamma. The two of them entering together was never good news. “Alpha." They said, bowing their heads before taking the seats on the other side of the table. I turned my head back to what I was doing and Caleb did the same, as if he wasn't the one who dropped there in the first place. “I had the guards release Ida from the dungeon earlier,"
Chapter 37Kieran The sound of someone knocking jolted me awake, having dozed off while working. I resisted the urge to groan at the disturbance. “Come on in” I called, adjusting myself properly on the chair. “Alpha,” Caleb greeted, making his way towards me. He was looking just as tired as I was. But while his own was probably because of patrol, mine was having to deal with my mom and also making sure that Kaia was okay, not thinking about what she heard. I was disappointed that my mom would suggest keeping Kaia around and have another woman be my Luna. I couldn't be more wrong when I told Kaia that my parents would love her. “What's up?” I asked, gently massaging my temple to help with the headache that was quickly forming. “I want to give you a run down of patrol last night, but I can come back." His eyes took in all the papers scattered all over my desk. “It’s fine, What do you have for me?” I ask, tearing my eyes away from the papers and sitting up straight
Chapter 38Kaia's pov I was grinning from ear to ear, I couldn't wait to go on a date with him. “Did he tell you where he's taking you too?" Dani asked, putting finishing touches on my makeup. She was eager to help me with my makeup when I told her about my date with Kieran. I shrugged, “he just said I should get ready." “And that is very helpful." She snorted. She got started on curling my hair. It was already six thirty which means I had thirty minutes left to get ready. Once she was done with my hair, she let it fall on my shoulders. Then she picked out a few dress options from my closet. She crossed out jeans and shorts, so I was left with gowns. We settled on a red gown that stopped mid thigh. It hugged every part of my body. Even without seeing my reflection, I still felt good. “And we're done!" Dani announced, beaming widely as she turned the mirror to face me. “I look good!" I thought, taking in my features. It was hard to remain self conscious when she u
Chapter 39Kaia's pov. I froze in my spot, watching as she came closer to me. She couldn't have let me end this already perfect date well. For very obvious reasons, I avoided running into her as much as possible. Kieran said she would be leaving soon but he wasn't sure either. A part…all part of me was looking forward to that. “Why was she even in the pack house at this time?" I thought. I turned to see if Kieran was nearby but there was no such luck. Soon, she stood in front of me and stared me down with her nose in the air as if I was merely dirt she could crush under her heels. “Ma-” I begin but she cut me off with a raise of her left palm, easily silencing me. “I was Luna of this pack once, you'll address me as such, you wolfless creature” She yelled, her eyes turning black but they returned to their original color almost immediately. I wanted to tell her I had a wolf but couldn't shift but I doubt that would make any difference. “You should never be here,
Chapter 40Kieran's Pov As I made my way out of the room, I couldn't help but play the events of the previous day. She'd enjoyed her day and so had I. But all of sudden, she couldn't stand the sight of me. My heart felt tight and King had been very quiet since she started ignoring us, we were even blocked out of her mind. “..Alpha?” I heard someone call and I snapped out of my haze to stare at my beta and gamma who took a glance at me and back to each other. I definitely didn't sleep well and now, I am lost in thoughts. “What?” I asked harshly and they gulped, I considered apologizing for my tone but I was feeling too hurt and preoccupied by thoughts of kaia to even think of doing anything else. “We have to go train with the new recruits, Alpha” And with that, they both left me in the office alone and I felt the wheels in my head turn. What recruits? Recruiting of new warriors was not till a month from now. I didn't care to think much about it because my mind soon went
Chapter 41 Ryder’s POV -(To show you his view on his relationship with Allie) I have never been so confused…maybe I have, but this was just over the top. I wanted a mate, one that the moon goddess prepared for me. I wanted something like what Caleb and Dani shared and even Kieran. But at the same time, there was no denying the attraction I felt towards Allie. And for the longest time, trying to ignore felt like a waste of time especially when she felt the same way. Before she clocked eighteen, that was two years ago, I hoped she was going to mine. That hope was crushed when my wolf didn't recognize her as ours…even Kaid was disappointed. But one thing led to the other that night and ever since then, a part of me couldn't stop thinking about her, misses her when she wasn't close. “What are you thinking hard about?" Caleb asked, jolting me back to reality. “Taking over your position." He snorted, “if you weren't so lazy, I'll believe that?" He said. “I'm offended." I sai
Chapter 42Kaia's POV After Kieran's conversation with his mom, things got worse. And it didn't help that a few members of the pack heard about it, so they sometimes glared at me without saying anything. Dani also tried her best to assure me that with time, she'd come around but I'm sure even she didn't believe that. But now, I focused on ignoring everywhere that she might go. I couldn't exactly talk to Allie, it was her mom we're talking about and the last thing I wanted was for her to hate me too. “Allie isn't like that." Lylah assured me. I sighed, "I know. I hate that Kieran is going against his mom because of me.” My mom wasn't here, but I know how much I would give to make sure she was happy. "Would you have left your mate if she wanted you to?” Lylah aaked, and a look of horror crossed my features. “Of course not,” I replied, offended that she'd even think that. "Exactly, then why are you worried about our mate leaving us because his mother chose to be an
Chapter 43 Kaia's POV Instead of going back to the pack’s hospital, I stayed in Kieran's arms in his office, enjoying the warmth his body provided while trying not to think too much. Kieran could tell that something was on my mind, but he just watched me without saying anything…I did say I didn't want to talk about it. “Oh," I started, sitting upright abruptly, causing Kieran to go into protective mode. “What's wrong, Bella?” He asked, his voice laced with concern. "Are you hurt?” His brows furrowed in confusion, but he still checked his body just in case there was something he was missing. I fought back a smile at how confused he looked. “I heard training was intense today and I met some people in the hospital, injured during training and then I tried mind-linking you but I didn't get a response.” "I'm sorry you were worried.” He apologized, pulling me into his arms again and I didn't fight it. "You know what will make me feel better?” I asked. His eyes n
Chapter 136Kaia's POV The answer was very hard.. by the time she was done talking, with me still standing a few feets away, I came to the conclusion that she was definitely making things up. There was no way I could've healed someone at the age of six and even if I did, why didn't I heal my mom? “Because she was already dead." Lylah said. “I know it sounds made up, but I couldn't leave you in the care of your father." She started again, “if he knew about your ability, he would take advantage of it, putting your life at a risk.” "My mom would've believed you.” She shook her head, "she didn't want to listen to anything I had to say that involved you.” She said, but that didn't sound like my mom but she wasn't here to defend herself. “The thing with your Dad wasn't supposed to be anything, I was just going to get information about you from him…” I snorted, "you fell in love.” I said with so much disgust in my tone. A smile that didn't reach her eyes appeare
Chapter 135Kaia's POV Since the attack, I'd focused more on taking care of the children with the girls and also picking out the designs I wanted for the new home we were building. Kieran said he had it in mind to build a home when he found his mate and there was no better time to do that than now when we were expecting our first child. The girls have also been a great help, taking my mind off everything for a few hours. Katherine was still around but she wasn't staying in the Pack house. And Kieran made sure she was avoiding me as much as possible. Even Dylan wasn't left behind. Although they assured me it was nothing, I could tell something else was going but it was probably in my best interest to not know. “I think it's time Caleb and I take having our own pup seriously." Dani said, “you're glowing and I want that for myself too." She cooed. “Do you think it's a bad idea if Ryder and I start trying?" Allie asked and two pairs of eyes snapped to her. The relationshi
Chapter 134Kieran's POV Kaia was still finding it hard coming to terms with the fact that the woman she knew all her life, who she mourned after her death wasn't her real mother and I couldn't blame her…no one could. Even though she argued that that was the only mother she had, it was obvious from her eyes how much she wanted to know about her birth parents. And looking for information without knowing where to start from was harder than it looked. The witch Katherine spoke about was delayed and that was the only clue we had. The records about the prophecy was something the Elders kept and bringing them into it when we weren't certain about anything was like a ticking bomb waiting to explode. For some reason, they held their peace about Kaia's position but I didn't put it past them to blow things out of proportion. “But we need answers!" King reminded me. “We do, but we also need to make sure our mate can handle whatever comes with it." He nodded, just as the door
Chapter 133 Aiden's POV Dylan was fucking with me! He was pushing me to the wall. Sleeping in the dungeon for what he did, was the best punishment he could ask for, but that seemed to only fuel his motivation to disobey me after I clearly gave an order. “Do you want us to bring him back?" Derek, my Gamma asked, his eyes fixed on me as he waited for my instruction. I shook my head. Unlike the last time when he disappeared without a trace, his whereabouts now wasn't a secret. The thought that he might be carrying out the end of the deal crossed my mind, where he would give me all the information I needed. But that didn't seem like the Dylan I grew up with. His new found relationship with Kaia was amusing. Before now, he didn't hide how much he hated his mom moving on and marrying her dad. But now, he was acting like a saint. “Alpha," one of my warriors called through the mindlink, the urgency in his voice jerking me out of my thoughts and back to the present. “Wh
Chapter 132 Felix’s POV “They knew we were coming…they fucking knew we were coming!” I growled. I had been so certain Kieran wasn't in the Pack when we got there, but when he showed up halfway, it confirmed the fact that he knew something was up. Instead of catching them by surprise, it was the other way around but there was no way I was going to give up. We were already there and she was going to come back with me no matter what. “We lost a lot of men, Boss." My second in command, who was nursing a bruise of his own said. “No doubt they were expecting us. Do you think we have a mole among us?" He asked. A mole? My men knew better than to betray me. And if by mistake there was, they had better die in the fight because by the time I was done with them, they'd be praying for death. For a few seconds, the thought of Nessa going behind me crossed my mind but that girl hated them more than I did, so I pushed the thoughts away. Another thing that made this mission unsuccessful,
Chapter 131Kaia's POV Kieran shifted uncomfortably as she came closer and with each step that she took, I tried to make myself smaller into the chair but that did nothing to ease the dread I felt just looking at the woman who singularly made my life miserable. Lylah was also pacing around in my head. “Why would Kieran bring her here?" She asked me. The look on the guys face told me they knew about her being here. I felt Kieran reach for my hand but I pulled it away, betrayed that knowing fully well what she did to me, he still let her into the Pack. “It’s not what you think, Bella.” He said through our mindlink. I snorted, standing up. “You have an explanation for why this woman is here? Beautiful!” I exclaimed and without waiting for whatever his explanation was going to be, I stormed out of the room. "Bella–" But I was already gone, storming past Katherine, Dylan's mom as I went. Kieran's footsteps were behind me. “Come on Bella, listen to me.” He called, as h
Chapter 130 Kaia's POV “Let me get this straight," I began, my eyes darting to Dylan on the bed and back to the siblings, who just told me what has to be the most insane tale I've heard in all of my existence and as weird as it sounded, the proof was right in front of me. “I have the ability to form a shield if I'm in danger?" I asked, and the siblings nodded. “It was so cool…shocking and confusing at first, but you kinda get used to it.” Allie said, smiling widely. I turned to Kieran because for someone who was thrown against the wall just the previous day, she was sounding way too cheerful for my confused self, who was trying to make sense of everything they told me. Apparently, seeing Dylan get hurt somehow triggered my protective side which caused me to release the shield. And it wasn't just any shield, as the moment it came upon them, it began to heal them as well, which was one of reasons Dylan was alive. "Do you think the moon goddess is using me as an experime
Chapter 129 Kaia's POV I woke up with a start, causing my head to start aching me with how fast I stood up. But Kieran was by my side in an instant, holding me up and helping me sit properly. The first thing that came to mind was the fact that I was in a different room and it looked familiar…Allie's room. The incident that led to me fainting came rushing back and fear gripped me, hoping it was some sort of nightmare and that it didn't really happen. “Dylan…where's Dylan?” I asked, moving to stand up from the bed, ignoring the pain that shot through me. "He cannot die…he was trying to save me." I cried. “Bella," Kieran called, trying to hold me in place but I pushed his hand away and hurt flashed through his eyes, “Take me to Dylan, I can heal him." I sobbed. I could feel Lylah's presence, although she wasn't saying anything. “Why were both of them not answering me? Did he really die?” My entire body felt weak I wasn't sure if the moon goddess was to blame in this
Chapter 128 Kieran's POV We arrived at the Pack a few hours later…about five or six hours. The warriors on patrol didn't hesitate to let us in once they saw who it was and we went straight to Dylan's house, with the aid of one of the warriors since we had no idea where he lived. Pack members quickly surrounded us the moment the car stopped and it took all the self control I had and repeated reminders about why we were here from King for me to not turn back and teach them one or two lessons for the hell they put Kaia through. “Alpha." The woman, who I guessed was Dylan's mom, greeted, bowing her head. I could see the slight resemblance between herself and Dylan…their eyes. If she was surprised by my presence, she was doing a great job hiding it as she opened the door widely to let me in. “Can I get you something to drink, Alpha?” "Let's cut out the drama, shall we?” I started, not in the mood for any pleasantries. "You know why I'm here, so let's get to it." Bei
