The howling wind rattled the windowpanes in the bitter, damp night outside. I twisted and turned under my thin covers. My teeth chattered in the chilly air around me. I couldn't sleep. My sweat dripped down my forehead, and my heart was thumping hard against my chest. I was always afraid of the dark, and I still am. But this was the first time I had slept alone in a hollow, ominous, and shadowy room with no wallpaper. I stood up immediately once I heard her from outside. Someone was beckoning at me. I kept on walking until I spotted something that looked like an animal. It was pretty and huge. Really do pretty that I felt like placing my head on the fur, messaging it, and owing it to myself. It was graced with a broader head and shorter legs. It has longer front legs than hind legs, a thicker tail, and smaller ears. Its toes are heavily splayed, possibly giving it a flat-footed gait like that of a bear. Its fur is very long and shaggy and may be thick enough to protect it from bulle
"How could you remember when your treatment is not over yet?" The doctor asked like he was going to scold the hell out of me."I am fine now." Is there anything else I need to know about this? "I should be happy I got my memories back, right?" I asked. I sounded really angry at the way he was reprimanding me for my hard work."I felt there should be a problem." Usually, 90 percent of our patients who force themselves to remember everything end up losing their happy childhood memories. "All they would see is their painful memories," he said again. For some reasons, it felt like this man was lying to me. "You didn't even come for your cognitive rehabilitation.""I did!" I asserted."Just twice?" "No, you didn't.""What should I do then?" I said this because I was so confused by this man. Mateo had insisted he wait for me outside and not stay with me."Let's try and remember your past life." He said. getting up from his cushion and coming closer to me. The room was not a small one, meas
KIARA'S POV. Rubbing my eyes sleepily, I slipped out of bed and yawned continuously before stuffing my feet into my fuzzy slippers and making my way to the bathroom.I pushed the bathroom door open, and standing in front of the mirror, I picked up my toothbrush and placed a sizeable amount of paste on it. I managed to brush my teeth sleepily before slipping my pajamas off my body and covering myself with a bathing robe. I got myself into the shower only to be made wide awake by the quick rush of cold water that came out upon my turning the shower on.I used my favorite lemon bathing spa, and with my sponge, I made a foam and scooped it all through my body except my face. I already have the habit of washing my face separately with warm water and a different face towel. This was to avoid infecting my face and creating a space for pimples and other skin infections prone to spreading. Luckily for me, it worked because I don't remember ever seeing a pimple on my face.I stayed in the sho
MATEO'S POVAll I imagined started coming true. The door opened suddenly for the last person I expected to storm inside. I could see the flames in her eyes when she looked up at me. Her eyes were wide with a hidden innocence. She came closer until our faces were inches away from each other. Her breathing quickened in like I have never seen it do. A sharp intake of breath told me she was heartbroken. The flames in her eyes melted into tears the moment she fixed those beautiful eyes on mine."Kiara, you.are.he.." I was so shocked that I could only stutter. The other men left the room, leaving the two of us. "What did I just hear you say?" Her lips She shook as she said the words. I have never seen her in such pain. I have never seen her since I have known her."What do you... mean?" I stuttered again. Even with all my efforts to stop the stammering, I couldn't help it. "Who the hell did you say you killed?" Kiara yelled. painfully..It's now obvious that she heard us. I prayed she wo

MATTEO'S POV.The nurses took her and made a doctor attended to her immediately. I was busy pacing up and down along the hospital corridor. My heart wasn't at rest for even a minute. I kept on promising myself to return back to the pack with her once she recovers. That's Absurd! It would only be possible of she losses her memories again because she made it damn clear that it was over between the both of us. What I had built with my whole effort is about to crumble and my heart is about to reap apart from each other. The poor girl had to grow up in this tough world alone just because of my quest for my parents. I would rather return to the pack than get my self entangled with any human blood. Not anymore. I have actually had enough and to think all this while I never found a legit clue that would lead me to something tangible only screams the words giving up in my head. The nurses are more arrogant than I thought. They were all moving away when I call them. The only one that manager
JIM'S POVI barked out a loud laugh followed by the continuous glare from the People around me. "I finally got a place in the human world even though its been hard to cope and live with this annoying body, I managed. Ofcourse I couldn't behave exactly like the owner but with time I had my own new life and principles. My new father is not just a man who speaks but he is the devil himself. He had not fear or remorse if he should kill anyone. Infact he kills people like his happiness depended on it. I guess it did. He is a leader of a Mafia group which I learnt he formed after his wife was bluterly murdered in presence. He had become more clue and bloody and that was exactly what I wanted. His men has automatically become mine. and you said the moon goddess wasn't by my side. At first I was annoyed when I noticed that I had reincarnated into the perfect person. I won't say his body is perfect but the poor human had fee martial arts. I had attempted and successfully completed the task
KIARA'S POV The days have gone by so quickly. Today is the exact day I am supposed to leave. I woke up at Mila's house with the thought moving in and out of my head. Thankfully, Mila has relocated; if not, I am sure that Mateo would have found me. I purposely avoided staying at my house because I knew he would definitely come for me. I woke up very early in the morning. That was about thirty minutes before my alarm would ring. I took my bath and made breakfast for myself and Mila. I wanted to get a few of my things from Mateo's house and finally go away from him. I don't know how I would possibly cope with seeing him. The doctor had warned me not to stress myself, both emotionally and physically, because of my condition. "Are you up already?" Mila asked. I mistakenly woke her up with my noise when I was searching for my hair brush on the counter. "Yes, good morning, babes. I want to leave early," I said and kept on searching for my brush; finally, I found it under the table and be
A YEAR LATER."Luna Kiara," I heard my name being called. It had to take me a while, as usual, to realize that I was the one being referred to. I stood up to answer my husband, Alpha Mateo."Where are the boys, my laun?" He asked with a very worried face. "Dan has gone to school, and Rhett is busy sleeping in the house." I explained.He nodded and went in to confirm that Rhett was still there. "I'd call Dan's teacher to make sure that he is in school." "You know children of these days," Mateo said with a faint smile."You should also worry about your people this way, my Alpha." Dan is okay, as is Rhett. "Grandma wants them," "Yes," Mateo nodded. It's funny how he believes that anytime his mother seeks out her grandchildren, they might not be entirely safe. Soon enough, Dan returned from school and met his father and me at the palace entrance. With my wide arms opened to hug him, he ran to wrap himself around his father. A sting of jealousy struck me. I raised him, but he seems to
MATEO'S POVI woke up to the sound of my alarm blaring, jolting me out of a deep sleep. I rubbed my eyes and looked at the clock, realizing I had overslept by 20 minutes. I jumped out of bed and rushed to the bathroom, quickly brushing my teeth and washing my face. I barely had time to splash some water on my face to wake myself up.I ran to my closet, grabbing the first outfit I saw and quickly getting dressed. I rushed to the kitchen to make a quick cup of coffee, but the coffee machine was on the fritz. Frustrated, I chugged a glass of water and grabbed a piece of toast on my way out the door. I slept well in my old house. Very fancy, but clearly I knew it was for me. I thought about what Jim's father said. If any of my men get to see me, I might have to spend the rest of my life in prison. I sprinted to my car, praying it would start on the first try. Luckily, it did, and I was on my way to work. It doesn't really work, but I guess that's what people call it. I have to get my vis
Mateo's povThe day of the hit had finally arrived. I was dressed in all black, my face concealed by a mask. I was ready to carry out my plan to take down Jim's father once and for all.I made my way to the building where he was holed up. My heart was so willing and confident. I was nervous, but I was also determined. I was a mafia man, and I wouldn't be defeated.I entered the building quietly, my footsteps muffled by the thick carpet. I was moving stealthily, like a predator hunting its prey. I was going to take him by surprise, and he wouldn't know what hit him.I crept down the hall, my hand on my weapon, ready to use it if I needed to. I was getting closer; I could feel it. I was almost there.And then I heard a noise. It was the sound of footsteps coming from around the corner. I froze.. Had I been discovered? Was my plan about to be foiled? Those asses, I hope they weren't shitheads. If not, I will strangle them myself. I took a deep breath and stepped around the corner, my pi

MATEO'S POV"I do not appreciate it when people eavesdrop on my conversation." Miss. I hope you are ready to face the consequences if you ever disclose anything you heard to anyone. " I warned a lady whom I noticed has been unconsciously spying on me.Her face flushed with fear as she looked at me like she would break down. Her pupils burst out in fear. She was so terrified."I ...d..idn't hear anything." She stuttered carelessly. Does she really think she could lie to me? Even a fool would know that she was listening.I looked closely to observe her face, but my eyes mistakenly caught her cleavage. Gross!. She wasn't even dressed. She was putting on a very short crop top that revealed her cleavages and a short skirt that shows her straight legs. "Get lost." I said anoyingly. She was ready to scamper for safety, but I stopped her. "I know your face; if you were a snitch, I'd find you and kill you," I warned with a mean face. She ran off as fast as she could. I am so annoyed that I co
Kiara's povI worried the entire time during the ride home. Daniel kept quiet. His gaze was all on the road and me. I desperately wanted to break that icy silence, but what the hell was I going to say? Huh?. The only sound that awakens me is the honking of the cars. "Thank you so much, Daniel," I finally said, looking at him but avoiding eye contact. "For what?" He asked, still focused on the road. He didn't even spare me a glance. "For ehm everything, thank you so much." I don't know what I would have done without your help. "I stuttered helplessly with my finger clenched rightly to my cloth and my other arm holding Dan so tightly."You're welcome," he replied with a wide smile, which faded almost immediately. "About earlier....""Oh, just forget about that already." "I mean, you are now relaxed," he interrupted. as if he read my thoughts and knew exactly what I wanted to say. "Are you in?" In anyway... Uhm mad at me? " I stuttered and immediately made up my mind not to ask any
