What do you think about Dani? Cos I love her already 😍 Let me know your thoughts
Chapter 10 Kaia's POV A man about Kieran's height entered the room, his hair was packed in a bun and he had a smile that could light up the world. His brown eyes stayed on me for a few minutes before Dani snapped him out of it. “Keep looking at her and soon, you'll be missing them." She warned. “And it'll be worth it." He said, before walking towards me and stretching his hand, “my name is Ryder, Luna." He introduced himself. At this point, I doubt asking them to stop calling me that would make any difference, so I've accepted that. “Kaia." I told him, taking his hand. “We are going to be good friends, Luna. I have so many stories to tell you about the Alpha, but only if you promise to save my head later." This brought a smile to my face, “I can't promise you that." I found myself saying. “I'll do it anyway." He said, a large grin on his face. "I really shouldn't be here.” Dani groaned, if anything, making me more curious about him, his life before I came her
Kieran's POV The day has been so stressful, but looking at how much Kaia enjoyed herself, the smile on her face, it was definitely worth it. Although King and I still felt angry thinking about the man who almost made her cry but he was human, and there was nothing we could do about it that wouldn't expose our identity to their world. “He shouldn't be alive right now.” Ryder growled, equally angry when I told them what happened. "That'll risk exposing us. I'll gather details about him. I'll let you know when I find something.” Caleb offered and I nodded, trusting his discretion. It was only normal for them to want to protect her and they would do so whatever the cost. Apart from the position they hold in the pack, they were the only ones I could trust to take care of her. “She's really beautiful, Alpha. It's only a matter of time before she opens up to you." Ryder said, “she did seem interested when I was telling her everything about you…” King growled, "what did
Chapter 12 Kaia's POV I sat up disoriented, “What happened?" I thought, trying to place the pieces of what I know together. I didn't remember putting on my clothes and the last thing I remembered was being in the bathroom. “Our mate found us and helped us." My wolf said, her voice echoing in my mind. When she said this, a quick image of me gripping onto his hand flashed through my mind. Thinking hard, I could hear his voice telling me something but what he was saying wasn't clear enough. “Did he change me?" I thought, looking away shyly. “I mean he's my mate, he's bound to do that one day." “I'm glad we both agree on something." She replied. I rolled my eyes, it was obvious she was in a mood this morning, and I wondered why that is. I was feeling a lot better after sleeping it off, but I should probably ask Kieran if I can get drugs for it just in case it happens again. “How come you don't have a name?" I asked my wolf suddenly, remembering my conversation wit
Chapter 13 Kaia's POV Lylah hasn't stopped dancing around since Kieran left us to finish getting ready. And this time, I couldn't blame her. It was just a kiss on the forehead and I haven't even stopped thinking about it. I couldn't help but wonder what it would be like when he actually kisses me. “You don't have to think, you can just grab him and see for yourself." Lylah sang, sounding too excited for her own liking. “And look like a crazy woman? No, thank you." I said, rolling my eyes as I wrapped my towel around me before stepping out of the bathtub. “You're crazy about him, same difference.” “And you came to that conclusion after a normal conversation? We just talked, that's all." “I would believe you if I wasn't there myself. King and I could feel the sexual tension." I choked on my saliva, “I'm going to block you if you keep this up." I threatened, but she just rolled her eyes. “You're going to have to face it sooner or later." I blocked her. Aft
Chapter 14Kieran's POV My brow furrowed in confusion as I went over the file my Beta gave me and the more I went over it, the less it made sense. “I had the same reaction." Caleb said. “Something wasn't adding up, so I kept digging." He explained. “How come I didn't smell anything out of place?" “My best guess is that he had a witch mask his scent to smell like a human." Ryder said and Caleb agreed. “I haven't found anything yet, but I probably will if I keep searching." “Leave no stone unturned, get me everything there is to know about this man, what he wants and why he's targeting Kaia…everything” I commanded. I could still see the fear in her eyes when he wouldn't let go of her. Caleb nodded, already moving towards the door. “On it, Alpha." It turns out that the man who was bothering Kaia at the mall wasn't just some random human–he was a rogue. And that changes everything. As Caleb left, Ryder spoke up. “Do you think he knew who Kaia was?” I shook my hea
Kieran's POV I was still glaring at Ryder, my eyes burning with frustration and he found it amusing. King was suggesting creative ways of getting revenge but that could wait. “You can't blame me, the door was opened and I didn't expect that…” he trailed off under my stare. "What's the update? What are we looking at?" I asked one of the warriors who were patrolling, ignoring Ryder. We stood at the edge of the forest which marks the beginning of my territory. “There was a strange smell coming from this direction,” the warrior began, his voice grim. "It smelled weird and we suspected that they were rogues, but when we looked into it, we didn't find anything." He explained. I paused, my brows furrowing in confusion as my thoughts tangled together as I tried to make sense of what was happening. “Did you check for footprints? They shouldn't have gone far if you went after them immediately." They looked at one another, “there was nothing, Alpha." Not wanting to assume
Chapter 16 Kaia's POV “You have this smile on your face and I'm not even saying anything funny. You're thinking about Alpha, right?" Dani asked, wiggling her eyebrow suggestively. “Maybe." I sang, skipping to the other side of the table to help the children who were failing at their attempt of designing a cookie. She exclaimed excitedly, “I knew it!” Ever since the day in Kieran’s office, I found myself wanting more, to be held, touched and just be with him. At first, he was busy with training and then meetings but he was always around for dinner which I appreciated as I've always hated eating alone. Lylah managed to get to me and I started to believe that Kieran was being sincere not playing the long game. My relationship with Dani and Ryder also became better. I found myself coming out of my shell every day and the smile I thought I'd lost a long time ago was slowly returning. “Luna, do mine." Freya said, jumping happily as she pushed her cookies towards me
Chapter 17Kaia's POV “Get your hands off my mate!" Lylah growled, coming to the surface. Both Kieran and the woman froze before turning to me. The girl couldn't be any older than I am, with a slender build and blonde hair which framed her heart shaped face. Her eyes widened in surprise, and she took a step back, releasing Kieran from her hug. “It's not what you think, Luna." she said, her voice filled with genuine apology. Kieran's expression turned sheepish, and he rubbed the back of his neck. "Allie just arrived, she wanted to see you.” he explained, his eyes locked on mine. That didn't make any sense, so I waited for him to tell me who this ‘Allie’ girl was before I went all crazy on them. “I'm his sister," she said, and I felt a wave of relief wash over me, followed by a dash of embarrassment at my overreaction. Lylah's growl subsided, replaced by a curious whisper in my mind. “I'm sorry, my wolf can get out of control sometimes." Kieran chuckled, coming to stand b
Chapter 104 Dylan's POV If there was a conversation I was dreading, it was the one I was going to have in a few minutes when Allie walks through the door…it was inevitable. For me, the relationship started as a way to mess with Ryder but I couldn't say the same anymore. Although, a part of me knows that she was never mine in the first place, having seen the way that she looked at him and it was fine…he was one lucky son of a bitch. I could also see the efforts he was putting into talking to her which she ignores most of the time. The door swung open and Allie entered wearing her signature smile that was bright enough to throw any man off their feet. “Let me tell you,” She began, "if Kieran changes his mind on letting tag along to this Alphas’ event, I'm going to throw a tantrum.” I let out a chuckle, easing the tension in my chest. "You're not supposed to be there in the first place.” She rolled her eyes, "and you think I don't know that?" She asked, and I raised
Chapter 103 Unknown POV -Nessa “It's the Luna, she's the healer." I told Felix, entering the cabin we usually met in and I watched as his jaw clenched. “Kieran's mate is a healer? The white wolf?" I mean I was surprised as well, considering how long I've tried to figure out what secret they were hiding. Using the poison on myself was a risk I took but with my stepmom being unable to shut her mouth, I didn't want to delay it anymore. Felix needed to get his plan moving…and for the first time, he decided to involve me. Besides, playing the sweet innocent girl was becoming exhausting. I probably should've come up with a better excuse than not feeling well…but how was I supposed to know that she was going to snoop around looking for my house. “Because she's not the bad person.” My subconscious mind told me. So…it wasn't like I had anything against Kaia, she's nice and all, maybe too trusting. But she was the easiest and fastest way to get to Kieran and then to his
Chapter 102Kaia's POV The four of us agreed to go to the city and Kieran made sure Edward and Dylan went with us but not after giving them several warnings to keep us safe. I'm certain he was letting us go because he wanted to make up the incident with his parents and even it was needed, it was very much appreciated. Ryder sulked that he wanted to be the one to go instead of Dylan but he changed his mind when Kieran glared and the memory of the last time we went together filled my head. And he definitely wasn't going because he wanted to keep us safe or anything, Allie still hasn't given him the chance to talk. It was no surprise when a few hours into the shopping, I was tired. But Nessa was having fun so it was worth it. The gloomy expression was long gone and a permanent smile was in its stead. “Which girl gets tired of shopping? Don't you guys survive on that?" Dylan asked, a bit of teasing in his voice. I rolled my eyes, “tell that to my legs that feels like the
Chapter 101 Kaia's POV The walk to wherever Alpha Tyler was taking me to didn't take long and I recognized the pathway from the last time I ran after Kieran and speaking of him, I should probably tell him what I was doing. But a part of me was actually relaxed…it might be wrong, but I knew that nothing they said would get me to leave Kieran again. Not this time. “I really love you…” Lylah started, and I could sense a but coming. "but you can be dumb sometimes.” My jaw dropped, I didn't even have time to respond to her insult before she continued. "You're willingly walking into the den of the enemies, that's not exactly called taking caution. How do you think our mate is going to feel when he finds out you're here without your bodyguard?” I couldn't contain my shock seeing how she'd never spoken to me in this manner before. And I knew better than to ignore it. “I'm sorry, Lylah." I apologized, promising to tell him. And she just nodded but didn't say anythi
Chapter 100Kaia's POV It was still hard to believe that Maria would do something like that and when Kieran questioned her after the said boyfriend…Jake died from the poison, she broke down and admitted that he had been looking for the potion made from the iron bloom flower. She claimed that he told her that it was the last time he was going to get involved with the group and she believed him, hence the reason she was trying to cover up after him. Knowing that it wasn't that, helped keep my mind at ease even though I still had Edward following me around sometimes. He was different from the first one, and he isn't as stiff either. “Good thing Alpha got rid of her…I can't believe she would implicate Ashley for something she didn't do.” Dani said. Allie nodded, "I know right! What happened to girls supporting each other?” “She was probably absent when that was taught.” I joked and the three of us laughed. Nessa wasn't around today, she mentioned something
Chapter 99 Luna Clarissa’s POV (Kieran's mom) I was struggling to keep a calm facade, the secret I've fought so hard to keep was the same one Kieran was trying to pull apart. If he finds out, it would not only break my mate, it'd ruin me. It was a secret I swore to take to my grave. “Are you okay? Your emotions are all over the place." Tyler, my mate said, his hands wrapped around me, it was just like when we were younger. I nodded softly, “I'm okay." I lied. “It's just hard to believe that my own son would turn his back on me." That was true but all for what? A girl who should be nothing more than a slave if I was being generous. “Let's give him time, she's his mate after all…and you know how protective he is when it comes to Allie.” There was no denying their closeness, but it was for them. Everything I was doing, was for their benefit. Allie was almost twenty one and still hadn't found her mate and I was only looking out for her. "Don't think too much a
Chapter 98Kieran's POV "I found something, Alpha.” Dylan said, and I nodded for him to come in, which he did, taking the seat in front of me. “Ashley?" I asked, resting my back as I waited for him to start talking. “I found her, but she didn't do it." He started, “she agreed that she has a grudge against Kaia…Luna but she swore that she didn't do it.” Ignoring the slip off, I frowned. "That doesn't prove that she didn't do it.” I pointed out, a feeling of disappointment seared through me. I had expected that he was coming with something concrete and not speculation. "It doesn't. But when I asked her about the fight with Maria, she went quiet.” Now, my interest was piqued as he continued, “they were arguing about a boy…” "Hold on…" I interrupted, massaging my temple gently to soothe the headache I knew was coming. “How did we go from solving a break in to boy issues?” I asked him. He chuckled lightly, “They weren't fighting because they loved the same guy, it
Chapter 97Kieran's POV (there's a little mention of violence) The shooters weren't healing as fast as I wanted them to, so we had the pack doctor look at them and they were starting to get better. But with the break in our room, Kaia was on the edge so she was back to having a bodyguard. After her panic attack last night, I knew we had to speed up what we had to do to get to the real person behind the attacks and the shooting. “Alpha, they're ready to talk." Caleb's voice rang in my head. I was already on my way to them, so I hastened my pace. King was eager to get to them also. After watching our mate go through pain, it only fueled our determination. The three men were all kneeling with their hands tied up with ropes that had been dipped in wolfsbane. Their groaning and the sounds of whips against their skin filled the dungeon. I guess they didn't like the taste of their own medicine. "Who do you work for?” I asked. The three of them looked at each other and
Chapter 96 Kaia's POV Maria remained frozen like a deer caught in the headlights, a few of my dresses in her hands and her eyes didn't leave mine. I stood there, trying to comprehend what was going on, but I couldn't go past the mess made. “What happened to my things?" I asked, moving around, trying to pick my things, especially my underwear which were laying everywhere in the room. “I-I didn't d-do it.” She stammered, "I was coming in to c-clean up but I met the mess." She explained. At this point, I could already feel anger building up inside me. Maria had always been efficient, doing everything that was asked of her, and had never given me a reason to be suspicious of her. But considering the fact that the room was locked and if I needed her to clean up, I would have given her the key or something. After having a long day, the last thing I wanted to deal with was this. “Maria," I called calmly, “you want me to believe that you somehow managed to get into my loc
