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 18 Kaia's POV Instead of Kieran, Ryder was the one driving us to the mall. We couldn't go the previous day because he insisted that it was getting late and with the recent report of rogues attacking people, he didn't want to risk it. “We should get a pedicure and probably a spa treatment first." Allie suggested. She sat in the front seat with Ryder while Dani and I stayed at the back. “And then we can go lingerie shopping. I want to give Caleb a few surp–" Ryder's head jerked back, his eyes wide with shock and embarrassment, “can you keep that information to yourself, I definitely didn't need to hear that.” He said before turning back to face the road. Dani rolled her eyes, "no one asked you to listen.” She replied. "It'll give you an idea of what to do when you finally find your mate.” I added and Allie's head snapped to him so fast, I was afraid she'd get whiplashed. He groaned, his eyes flicking to look at me in the rearview mirror. “Come on, don't joi
Chapter 19Kaia's POV As we entered the boutique, I couldn't help but feel overwhelmed at the sight. As usual, a lot of other people were picking out what they wanted. They were a whole lot. I wouldn't even know where to start from. Allie and Dani, being more experienced, led the way, moving between the racks of delicate lace and silk. I followed closely beside them, taking in the sight of everything. “Do you know what you're looking for?" The attendant asked. Allie nodded, “we're fine." The lady nodded and left us to go attend to the group of girls who just entered. As we went further into the large boutique, Dani picked up a beautiful, red corset with black lace trims, “what do you think about this, Luna?” She asked, holding it up against me. "It's beautiful.” I replied. "But isn't it too…" I trailed off, not finding the right words to use. Allie raised an eyebrow, “try it on first and then you can decide if you want it or not.” My eyes widened in shock,
Chapter 110 Dylan's POV I've never regretted a decision so fast like I did the moment the car drove off. It took a whole lot to not turn back and take another look at her but I knew that the moment I did, this journey most likely wouldn't be happening. The ride was silent, I couldn't bring myself to make small talks. And if I didn't have bags with me, I would've gone back in my wolf form which was going to be faster. Throughout the journey, all I thought of was if I was making the right decision. Even my wolf was lost in a thought of his own. I also thought about what Allie was doing, if she was crying and if she was taking my advice and sorting things out with Ryder. Several hours later, I was jerked awake by the voice of the warrior who was driving, announcing that we had arrived. “Thank you…” I trailed off, after forgetting his name which he told me at the start of the journey. “Liam.” "I'm sorry,” I apologized, "thank you Liam.” He nodded as he helped me with
Chapter 109 Allie's POV I haven't spoken to Dylan since he told me he was leaving. Like why would he leave when I was getting used to him being here…even Rhea was getting used to his presence. He knew how to keep me entertained, laughing without a care in the world. Yes, a part of me missed Ryder, but with Dylan, I didn't have to think too much about it because he always found a way to take my mind off it and now, he was leaving just like that. “We knew this was going to happen." Rhea reminded me. Of course I knew that, but it happened all of a sudden. He was a Beta and he obviously had to return to his pack as long as he was still a part of them. Laying on my bed, I thought about how it was going to be once he leaves, if Ryder and I would ever go back to the way we used to be, considering how I haven't spoken to him yet. I think that I was worried that if I gave him a chance to explain why he acted the way he did, I would end up forgiving him easily and then it'd ha
ChaptKaia's POV My pregnancy was the only thing the girls could talk about until we returned back to the child care where we met Nessa playing around with the children. She was finally getting a hang of it. But as I looked at her now, all I could think about was the conversation I had with Lylah. “Luna!" She called, running to meet me. "I'm glad you're okay. I was worried something was wrong." She said, wrapping her hands around me. “I'm okay." I assured her. She held my hand, telling me everything that happened while I was away. The girls went on with their normal work, but from time to time, they jumped in and out of the conversation. “Excuse me, Luna." Ryder's familiar voice interrupted, and we kept quiet, turning to look at him. "Don't tell me Kieran sent him to check on me.” I thought, a smile appearing on my face. He had mind-linked me every few minutes to make sure I was okay and now that isn't enough, he had to send someone. "That's so sweet!" Lylah coo
Chapter 107 Kieran’s POV I walked into my office with a smile because at the moment, I doubt anything can make me unhappy. Kaia carrying our pup was the best news and more than anything I could ask for. “Alpha," Caleb called, but paused when he saw the look on my face. “I'm not sure I can tell if I really interrupted you or not." He said, considering the fact that I snapped at him earlier when he mindlinked me. Ryder, who was lying down on the couch snorted, “you should be happy he's in a good mood. My poor ass can't handle him if he's not.” I rolled my eyes, before going to my desk ready to get back to work. “What did you get?" I asked him. Ryder stood up and came towards us, pulling a chair for himself as Caleb spread out the papers in front of him. “According to the description Nessa gave, those men sound different from what we're looking at…” he started. "And a question I can't push out of my head, is if she's a target too.” Ryder added. He had a point, it
Chapter 106 Kaia's POV It took a lot of convincing for Kieran to believe that I was capable of being alone and could take care of myself. He literally followed me to the bathroom just in case I needed help there. I was enjoying it though so I let him. But when Caleb mind-linked him to tell him something about the rogue that shot Nessa and Kieran replied that he should deal with it, I sent him away. As much as I wanted him to stay by my side, he had an obligation to fulfill. Besides, the doctor assured us that there was nothing to worry about in the first few weeks. I pulled a shirt over my head as I got ready to meet the girls. I was going to tell them about my pregnancy and I was eager to see their reaction. “How do you think is the best way to tell them?” I asked Lylah, but I was met with silence. I let out a deep breath, pulling out a skirt from the closet while trying not to think about the fact that Lylah now only replies to me if it was very important. I hated
Chapter 105 Kaia's POV (From when she found out she was pregnant) “You're pregnant.” Kieran said. My hand immediately went to my stomach, “Pregnant?" I asked, my eyes widening in shock. Kieran nodded, a proud smile etched on his face as he stared at me, I could tell that he was struggling to keep his excitement in. But I couldn't share the excitement as panic gripped me, my conversation with Lylah before I insisted on healing Nessa came flooding back. “Was this why she was warning me?" I thought, “she could've told me." Noticing the frown on my face, Kieran's smile slowly vanished as he moved closer to me. “I'm sorry…” he started and my head snapped to him. What was he sorry for? "I should've been more careful…" “What are you talking about?" I asked, lifting his chin to look at me. “It's okay if you're not ready to have a baby yet…I should've asked…” Without letting him complete his words, I kissed his lips and I felt his body stiffened. Pulling away, I care
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 p
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
