KIARA’S POV
The next morning, I woke up to the sounds of chatter outside my room. One of the voices belonged to Risha and the other must have been Cami.
“Damn! My brother has turned into a lovesick puppy! Do you know what he did yesterday night?” Risha’s agitated voice sounded.
“Take a deep breath and tell me exactly what happened?” Cami’s sweet and soothing voice sounded.
“He…that fool… called up ‘Zinnia Apparels and got twelve dresses delivered overnight. No rewards for guessing for whom it is!”
“That is because Kiara doesn’t have any clothes to wear…”
“You don’t understand, Cami. My brother hates shopping. He didn’t buy a dress for me even after I bugged him for ages. He hasn’t even marked her but look at him… He has changed so much… I am afraid I will lose my

Despicable Mate OVERREACTING
KEVIN’S POV I drew in a deep breath before knocking at the glass door of my father’s cabin. My heartbeat accelerated as time ticked by. When he didn’t reply for long, I knocked again; a bit louder. “Dad, did you call for me?”“Hmm… come in…” He muttered. If it wasn’t for my extraordinary hearing, I wouldn’t have caught it.I hesitated slightly before entering. Our relationship had become slightly strained after Kiara tipped our competitors.The door swung open with a creak to reveal my father and Risha sitting opposite each other.“When did you come, Rishu?” I asked, sitting on the chair beside her.She crossed her arms and glared at me before turning to Dad. “Alpha, you have to decide right now! I can’t go to the same college as Kiara.”I placed my hand on hers and asked, “Don’t overreact, Kiara.
Despicable Mate MY WOLF DOESN'T WANT TO SEE YOU
KIARA’S POV I woke up to the sweet twittering of birds. The cool breeze blew in through the open window carrying the faint smell of wildflowers. The sunlight that streamed in through the thick foliage was enough to light up the room but didn’t hurt.The packhouse was very homey and comfortable. It wasn’t loaded with electronics like the mansion in the city. It was airier and simply furnished. I fell in love with it the moment we reached the house. If I had a choice, I would spend the rest of my life here.The clattering of the dishes and the faint screeching of wheels drew my attention to the door. I couldn't restrain the smile that formed on my face on seeing Kevin in an apron and hat.My stomach rumbled as the aroma of pancakes tickled my nose. How did he know that it was my favorite?He looked so adorable holding out the fork with a piece of pancake that I forgot to push it away. I let him feed the pancake as
Despicable Mate WRAPPED IN SILVER
KEVIN’S POV I placed the log of wood on the large boulder and split it with one swift swing. I tried to focus on the task but my mind kept drifting to Kiara.God knows how she was doing in that musty dungeon. Dad wanted to keep her in the cell till she agreed to shift. When I protested, he commanded me to chop the wood.Shaking my head, I placed another branch on the boulder and hacked it with the heavy axe. Sweat trickled down my forehead as I continued to chop the wood in the scorching sun.In a while, the urge to keep chopping subsided. Alpha must have released me from his command. Now, I was not in a mood to give up. I continued to chop the firewood one after the other.“Kevin, Alpha has released you from his command.” Collin’s voice sounded behind me. Ignoring him, I kept on wielding my axe.“Kevin, you must not exert yourself like this. Have some water.” He tried again, thrusting a
Despicable Mate I AM THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN KILL HIM...
KIARA’S POVI paced up and down the cell of the dungeon trying to wrap my head around what had happened. Cami had brought food and water for me.Once inside the cell, Cami threw the food and water on the floor and wrapped herself with the silver chains. I had been so stunned by her actions that I couldn’t react.That b*** wasn’t as simple as she presented herself to be. She was definitely trying to frame me. I had to talk to Kevin about this. I did want Kevin to hate me and stay away from me. But, that doesn’t mean I would let someone walk over me.Kevin and mom were too disturbed to lock the door of the cell behind them. So, I just walked out of the dungeon.The moon was shining high in the sky. The cool breeze caressed my face. All of a sudden I realised that I hadn’t sent the daily.Taking out my phone, I clicked a few pictures of the dungeon. My head was buried in my phone and I didn’t
Despicable Mate THE GOLDEN BOX
KEVIN’S POV “Kevin… Kevin… are you listening to me?” My father’s booming voice brought me back to reality.“Sorry Alpha… I just…” I was about to say zoned out but father interrupted me.“I know that you are not feeling that well but this is important…” He urged in a stern yet urgent voice.“You have my undivided attention Alpha…” I said, sitting up straight.My father glanced at Collins and nodded his head. Collins produced a large golden box. A five-petalled lily was engraved on the lid. The large ruby in the center dazzled in the sunlight.“Today I have invited the Alphas of the other four packs in Auroville for a meeting. We will invite them for the unification ceremony and also send a secret warning…”“But, dad…”“I know that you need more time to convince Kiara.
Despicable Mate A ,LIVING WEAPON
KIARA’S POV The packhouse seemed eerily quiet when I returned after handing the original box to Nivaan. I had this weird feeling that something was not right.Maybe it was a gut feeling or something… The hair on my back stood and my heart pounded against my ribs…I decided to take a tour of the entire house to make sure everything was alright. Everything seemed okay on the surface but the nagging feeling of danger persisted.In the end, I decided to tour the house once more. There was no one else in the house and it didn’t hurt to be a little extra cautious.My footsteps sounded in the empty halls as I went around, looking in every nook and corner. When I was in the storeroom, I was assaulted by a distinct scent of jasmines. Wasn’t Jasmine Risha’s favorite perfume?Shaking my head, I walked into the backyard. Probably I was just overthinking. A sparkle caught my attention near the bushe
Despicable Mate MEETING MY PARENTS
KIARA’S POV Risha’s terrified face kept flashing in my mind as I dragged myself to the lake. I should have stayed back for her but I couldn’t let Nivaan down either.“Are you hurt?” Nivaan’s anxious voice sounded drawing me out of the trance.Sensing his gaze on my mouth, my hands flew to my lips reflexively. “Oh, this… this is not mine…”“What exactly did you do sis?” Nivaan asked wiping my mouth with his handkerchief.My heart felt heavy when I thought about killing those two men. I didn’t want to talk about it at present. Clearing my throat I said, “I will tell you all about it later on. We must focus on saving mom and dad…”“Yes, mom is alone at the cottage. It will be a good time to talk to her.” Valence said appearing suddenly.I cupped my mouth and exhaled deeply. This had to work. Nivaan grasped my h
Despicable Mate REJECTED
KEVIN’S POV I paced up and down the entrance of the packhouse. The trees cast dark shadows in the moonlight. Dad had taken over the investigation of those two strangers.He was hosting an emergency meeting near the lake while Cami was taking care of Risha. I didn’t have the courage to face either my father or my baby sister. So, here I was wearing the tiles with my pacing.Kiara hadn’t returned yet. I didn’t know if I wanted her to come back. I was afraid that I couldn’t handle the truth.The faint sound of footsteps drew my attention to the path. Kiara looked stunning in the leather jacket and jeans. Her long hair waved in the soft breeze. The soft moonlight illuminated her face making her look like an angel who had descended from heaven. How could someone with such an innocent face, do something so heinous?She came to a halt right in front of me. Her lips parted as if she wanted to say something. T

Don’t get me wrong I love you all but there is a hollow in my heart that is eating me up. I am going in search of peace. I might finally be at peace when I find my mate.

Despicable Mate BITTERSWEET ENDINGS
KIARA’S POV We kept waiting for the troops to arrive but they never did. Morning turned to noon and noon turned to sunset. In the end, we decided to rest and plan afresh the next day.Leaving a few guards to guard the gate, we retired to the mansion. I plopped on the bed and stretched my aching arms and legs. My head was spinning with possibilities. Was Ariana planning a surprise attack? Had she decided to use some other strategy to defeat us?I was too engrossed in my thoughts and didn’t realize when Layla thrust a bowl of soup into my hands. In my distracted stupor, I lifted the spoon to my mouth and was about to take the first sip when a force caused the spoon to fly out of my hand. The next moment the bowl fell on the floor and shattered.“What the hell!” I exclaimed and jumped to my feet. My mouth remained open and my eyes widened when I saw Layla in Nivaan’s grasp. Before I could say anything he slit h
Despicable Mate BLINDED VISION
KEVIN’S POV I groaned as I tried to open my eyes but they seemed as if they were glued together. My arms and legs were numb and no matter how hard I tried they wouldn’t budge. It didn’t take me long to realize that I was tied up with ropes.I racked my brain trying to figure out how I got here. The last thing I remembered the explosion. I had somehow managed to survive it. Then everything was bleary. There were some glimpses of a woman talking to me but I couldn’t figure out what she said.“So, you are awake, Kevin. Right on time I see…” A familiar voice sounded to my left. I tried to open my eyes. I could sense the fluttering of my eyelids but all I could see was darkness.Tugging at the ropes, I said in a panicked voice, “Cami! I don’t know how I ended up here. Please help me untie these ropes. I have to go to my packhouse…”“I felt a soft sensation as she
Despicable Mate SLIER THAN EXPECTED
KIARA’S POV My lips spread into a wide smile as I watched Nivaan and Richard train the werewolves in the use of silver weapons. Alpha Orville and Alpha Rodreo had agreed to help us and had sent five volunteers each to learn the techniques.We had hired human designers to design special clothes and gloves for all the werewolves. This would keep them safe while they wielded silver weapons.Draco had managed to snag a thousand pieces of jade rings from a dealer. Valence had already spelled them and immersed them in herbs. Now, she was busy guarding them.“Luna…” Layla’s sweet voice drew my attention to her. She was a young girl who had volunteered to take care of my health. Though she was a teenager, she sounded like my grandmom when she gave me advice.I chuckled slightly as she stood there glaring at me with a bowl of soup in her hand. She was surely going into grandma mode now.“Luna Kia
Despicable Mate FIGHT TILL THE LAST BREATH
KIARA’S POV“Did she buy it?” I asked apprehensively the moment Richard returned.“She did. You were right. She is proud and arrogant. We just had to play the flattering card. She was gracious enough to give you five days to mourn the death of your mate. But…”“But what…”“I have a feeling that we can’t trust her to keep quiet. She is probably planning something.”“I know that, Richard. She is slier than a fox. We have to remain alert at all times. I let out a deep sigh and asked, “Did the Alphas agree to the meeting?”“Yes they did… but it did require some convincing.”I felt a sudden queasy sensation in my stomach and bile rose to my throat. I rushed to the bathroom and threw up violently. By the time I was done, I felt drained to my bones.The whirring sound of the flush resounded behind me as
Despicable Mate JADE RINGS
KIARA’S POV Nivaan, Valence, Richard, and I were seated in the room trying to come up with a way to win the war when Adrian walked right in.Irritation started bubbling through my veins at his sight. The nerve of him to come here after what he had done. I glared at him and roared, “Stop right there, Adrian! Leave before I order my men to snap your head off…”His steps faltered, his eyebrows furrowed as he said, “Nancy! How can you say that? You have known me for so long…”“There is no ‘Nancy’ here. You are talking to the Luna of the Mystical Pack. You are talking to the woman whose father was killed…”His eyes widened in horror as he realized what I was hinting at. He rushed towards me and knelt in front of me. His eyes were pleading as he said in a shaking voice, “I know what I did was unpardonable but can you please give me a chance to explain mysel
Despicable Mate LUNA OF THE MYSTICAL PACK
KIARA’S POVIt had been ten days since I met Kevin near the lake. The tiny hope in my heart that he would come back and at least give me a chance to explain myself was getting bleaker and bleaker.In retrospect, maybe I should have followed him home; maybe I should have insisted that he listened to my part of the story. Weren’t we supposed to fight harder for what we wanted in life?“Nivaan! NIvaan!” I called out as I walked out of my tent. He came running moments later. Worry was evident on his face.He cupped my face and asked, “How are you feeling?”A bitter smile spread on my lips as I said, “Like my heart and soul has been ripped out of my body…”“I am so sorry, Love… I wish I could do something for you…”“Actually you can… I am done playing the victim card. Take me to the packhouse, I want to confront Kevin.”
Despicable Mate SET ABLAZE
KEVIN’S POV I had asked Collins to arrange a meeting with all the important members of the pack on the lawn. It was Seven days since father died yet these useless morons had not found out the killer.After a quick shower, I threw on a random shirt, a pair of jeans, and a jacket. I was about to leave when I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror.A sense of déjà vu assaulted me as I recalled the day Kiara had picked clothes for my meeting. I closed my eyes and clenched my teeth. No! I wasn’t allowed to go there. I couldn’t let myself have even a single moment’s joy till my father’s killer was on the loose.Letting out a long, deep sigh; I trotted outside. I had just entered the lawn when I noticed an unfamiliar scent, no several unfamiliar scents.“Alpha Kevin,” a man in a silver-colored suit stepped forward and bowed to me.“Alpha Rodriek… I didn’t
Despicable Mate REJECTED AGAIN
KIARA’S POV Every muscle in my body fought to transform as the howls reverberated in the environment. My bones crackled as my wolf struggled to take control but she was too weak.Pure agony coursed through my body overpowering every single coherent thought I had. I screamed at the top of my lungs but there was no one around to listen to me.The struggle between my weak wolf and my human body continued in a loop. Before long the pain blinded me and I was thrust into a state of complete darkness.The next thing I remember is waking up on the cold floor. I groaned as I pulled myself up. The dizziness weighed heavily on me as I fluttered my eyes to clear my vision.The sun was visible just above the horizon. I didn’t have the energy to figure out whether it was sunrise or sunset. The only thought that came to my mind was that I had to find Kevin.Dragging myself to my feet, I trudged outside. With slow labored steps
