Aden's POV It's been a long time since I was involved in a fight. The last fight I had was with the Borgn's clan beta Brad. He challenged me to a fight a year ago and I defeated him. I was almost made the Beta of the clan then, but I turned it down. I told Alpha Carl it wasn't my ambition. Brad was a narrow-minded guy, he had a temper that made him blind to see reasons whenever he was angry. Many say he isn't worthy of being a Beta because of some of his scandalous habits. He was a great gambler. People say he started gambling and drinking after he lost his father. Although his mom is alive and well. Instead of getting worked up by her son's attitude she usually spends her day at the clinic. His father was the beta to the Borgn clan before he died and his mum was a nurse, a salutary werewolf (a herbal wolf that takes care of the ill and injured). Brad's father died when he was seventeen. It was an unfortunate incideng. One faithful day, the Borgn Clan were attacked by rogue w
Kierra's POVAs I walked toward the Boss's office my heart was beating so fast. It seemed like it was going to explode."Be calm Kierra. It's probably just a harmless meeting" I encouraged myself In my wildest dream I never knew I would be faced with such a circumstance—Seeing Aden again face to face. I don't think I have enough courage to contain both my excitement and disbelief. "What was he going to say? What will I say? Should I hug him to show how relieved I am that he's alive? Will he want us back as we used to? What if he has a mate now?" These questions ran through my mind. Another thought came to me, it sounded like the werewolf part of me was warning me." Kierra, you don't need to show those emotions. You will look too cheap and will make it seem you are drooling over him. Keep your shoulders high. By the way, you need to be angry instead of being happy. If he was alive all these years why didn't he search for you. I doubt if he loves you anymore"I kept a neutral face
Aden's POV"Let me go…""Or I'll kill you all"She made an awful screech the moment I blew garlic powder at her.She was calm at once, her vampire traits were making it difficult for us to control her. Her body was still not used to the changes taking place. It was obvious she was hungry for blood. It's been four days since we captured her from the woods. The rogue werewolf was also under captivity and apprehended in a cell. He has refused to say a word.Alpha Carl has decided to hold the interrogation today.We observed that Mary usually has a switch in personality. She becomes wild when her vampire instinct is dominant and she becomes more friendly when her wolf instinct is dominant. It was a battle between two powerful traits.Mary goes out of control whenever she craves blood. That was why she attacked us back in the woods, we met her in a wild state. Hunger!It's very possible the blood she might have gotten from her sister's body and other small animals she could find may not
Kierra's POV "You should have stayed back" The stranger's words were ringing in my head. I needed to meet this man again. The sense of trying to figure out what he knew, what secrets were lurking around was eating me up. I knew I was special. My uncle always mentions it. But he warned me to try to be normal as best as possible. When I was eight I discovered I could lift a rock the size of our house with my bare hands. I could cause a tree to fall by just striking its trunk. I could run very fast and at eleven, shockingly I could absorb another wolf's energy making me even more powerful. Uncle said I have these powers because I am a Primordial werewolf. In fact, I am the last of them. He never spoke about my parents, he never told me how they both died. He only kept on emphasizing that I had to live like other werewolves. That I had to hide my powers. He didn't reveal much to me about them or the Primordials. At age eleven I was almost kidnapped at my old school. This was the
Aden's POVThe thought of a helpless Mary slain by the rogue wolf was something I wanted to erase from my memory.Although we didn't know what we were going to do with Mary after the Interrogation, it was certainly not to kill her.It was obvious the rogue we captured was scared of the Moonking. And he knew the consequences he will face if Mary was to spill more of what she knew. From his last words, before he killed himself, it looked like he was threatened. I think the pack of rogue werewolves were threatened. Probably they were told if she was found she should be killed and finished her off like the others before her. Logically thinking about how Moonking has been killing. I will say Moonking was cleaning up his mess. When he bit his victims, he decapitated them to prevent them from rising again. From all indications, it seems he wants to be the only hybrid. "What is he really scared of?" I thoughtHe doesn't let them go after the bite.This hybrid needs blood to survive, but
Kierra's POV"You look lovely," Aden complimented me. Aden pulled out a seat for me while I sat. I smiled at him appreciating his sweet gesture."Thank you," I replied AdenThe restaurant was huge, of course, and I knew he could afford it. But what quickly caught my attention was the silence. The restaurant was empty. "Where's everybody?" I asked. It was normal for me to ask Aden because I came in to see him sitting alone in the restaurant.''There wouldn't be anyone for the rest of the night" he replied "I paid for the place so you and I can have a peaceful and great dinner." He responded"Wow, it must have cost you a lot," I asked"It's nothing Kierra, I will pay any amount to make sure the time I spend with you isn't sabotaged by annoying external factors", he said grinningThere was a bottle of wine and two glasses on the table. He called on the waiter to serve us the best meal available on the menu because when he asked what I wanted to have, I didn't have any choice and he
Aden's POV I had already told Uncle Tim and Cassel about my plans of going to Kenvy to get more information about the murders. Cassel volunteered to go with me. In the last few weeks since Mary's episode, he has become more proactive. He was back to his former self. He finally accepted that staying at home frequently wasn't what was going to protect his family if danger ever came. But going into the field to stop whatever danger it was from ever coming close to Borgn was the best way at keeping them safe. I have tried to avoid Katrina as much as possible. What happened five days ago was something that still haunted me. It felt like I had cheated on Kierra. I know Kierra is nowhere to be found, she might even be dead since no one has mentioned seeing her anywhere. When the incident happened, Kierra was quite popular on the News channel. Her uncle and aunt's death, and the disappearance of Kierra and their housekeeper. The mystery behind the unfortunate incident still remains uns
Kierra's POVLove is indeed a beautiful thing. Aden was and is still the one my heart yearns for. I think of him, day and night. When I found out he went through a lot as well. It hurt me that I wasn't there for him to offer him emotional support.It was a miracle that he survived the fall, to become responsible for all of Kenvy after his father's death. His sweet words to me assured me he was a good leader, one who would make sure his followers were taken care of.I was seated in my office lost in thought. A knock brought my attention back to the present. I was a bit annoyed that whoever it was didn't want me to continue fantasizing about Aden."Come in" I answeredIt was Menessa. She walked in gracefully with a smile on her face. This lady was always happy and free-spirited. She was fun to be with. We were becoming fast friends."Hi Menessa, good morning. Hope you had a great night" I smiled "Yeah, Kierra. How are you today?""Never been better!" I exclaimed "I need to collect th
Kierra's POVThat was a shocker.Scott is Moonking and he is Mr Anderson's son. Who would have ever thought?Mr Anderson has been responsible for everything that was going on in Kenvy. "Kierra, you are surprised. Well, dear. I have been watching you for a long time. Father instructed me to follow you to Minx when he discovered that is where you fled. I came to Minx five years ago. I tried to woo you the civil way but you rejected me.""Scott is my son. A hybrid. Half-vampire and half-werewolf. That's because I fell in love with a vampire beauty who gave me this treasure as a son. The rest of my story with his mother is none of your concern." Mr Anderson disclosed. "My son here will be the one true Alpha. The King to all." Mr Anderson added."Yes, Father. That has always been my dream. To be powerful and rule all werewolves under one reign. My reign! But you Kenvy's are a pain in the ass. Your forefathers stopped my forefathers and you think you will stop me again. The tables will tu
Aden's POVKierra killed Igatus!A man who felt invincible to be easily defeated gave me hope that we could do this. Lucian was right when he said Kierra as a primordial could defeat the Moonking. This is why Moonking wants the powers for himself, to forcefully establish that new world he desires.I was surprised that Kierra was that werewolf that saved Kelvin from the fire. And now she saved us from it as well. Fire was one of our main weaknesses, we dreaded going close to it. To see Kierra unscathed was a relief.I was happy she put an end to Igatus. A man who is crazy enough to kill his cousin. All of Igatus's men had run off after they saw that their master was slain.We took Beatrice, Kierra's friend to the hospital, as a human, she is fragile and the experience with Igatus has traumatised her. Witnessing Lucian's death broke her. It hurt us all that he did not make it. He only wanted to love and be loved. He wanted to do one thing right, he was tired of being evil. Elliot said
Kierra's POV Why do terrible things have to happen to me? This was a question I kept asking myself. Lucian's revelations and confessions were not easy to take in. It made me feel used. All I want to do now is save Beatrice and Lisa. Aden seems to be concerned about her. Argon had called my number so many times since the incident at the Morrison mansion. I refused to answer any of his calls. I wonder what a liar and deceptive crook like him wanted to tell me. We all planned to rescue Beatrice and Lisa tonight. Nothing was going to stop us. All six of us were going to Raven Park and we are going to come out of there alive. I do not care what Aden and his friends think of Raven Park, I would go there even if it were located in the underworld. I am never going to forgive Lucian for what he did. How could he install a camera in my room? All those steamy moments with Argon were seen by someone else …. Uh…..this is so embarrassing. Aden had done well for himself, he told me how he
Aden's POVI collected Argon's number from Kierra.He picked up his call on the third ring. "Who is this?" Argon asked."Your worst nightmare" I replied."What? Who are you and why have you called this number?" He asked."Who I am is not important. That which you desire to have is here with me. Now you know how it feels to lose that which you lust over.""So you are the one who took Kierra! Whoever you are I promise you I will find you and I will kill you. Kierra is mine and mine alone. No one can take her away from me.""I will love to see you try," I said and ended the call. That will be enough to put him on his toes and give him sleepless nights. I made sure to block his number so that he wouldn't be able to reach my number if he tried. I went to the living room after my call with Argon. I meet Elliot speaking with Kierra. It seemed he just got back."Finally, you are here. That's a relief." Elliot said to Kierra."Elliot, how have you been? Heard you stepped out for a while."
Kierra's POVIs this real?Why is my life getting more complicated by the minute? Is everything in my life a joke?Everything was a lie. I had high hopes.What's all this? Aden is not Aden. He is Argon! And the real Aden is the stranger…that I have been talking to.All I could say to the man before me was"What is going on here?""Kierra, I never told you because the fact that I am a twin was kept a secret from everyone except a few." He said."And why is that? " I asked."I'll tell you but please let's get out of here first." He answered.I stood looking at him in awe, I was still struggling with the reality before me."Am I a joke to you?" I yelled at him.It was heartbreaking, thinking about what I had gone through at the hands of the fraudster who takes a name that isn't his. One minute Aden loves and cares about me, the next minute he is in possession of the killer's pendant and wants to restrain me by all means. As if that is not enough, now he has a twin.I had to escape that
Aden's POVAs I ride towards Morisson mansion, my home. One I haven't seen in ten years. The memories I had in this once beautiful place was one I cherished and will never forget. I begin to recall them all.How did we even get here? Everything was all beautiful until one man decided he didn't like it that way. Mr Anderson has no family so I would not blame him because he does not know the evil in separating father and sons or a brother from his brother.For Kierra's friend to go missing meant that things were not going well in that house. And soon it will be Kierra who will be pronounced missing like her friend or dead like kierra. This thought propelled me to move faster. Madam Charity said Argon was asking questions about what she had told Kierra. She swore to him that she didn't mention anything to Kierra.It is clear that he is scared. It beats me all the time whenever I think about why Argon will choose to go after my own woman when he could have any other in the world.Ten ye
Kierra's POV I was surprised at my composure, at how I was able to play it cool for a week. Both I and Beatrice acted like we didn't know what Lucian was involved in. With Beatrice's discovery, Lucian wasn't the humble, loyal and sweet guy we knew anymore. We wondered how the perception one has about another could easily and quickly change by just finding out the truth about them. Things were beginning to make sense now. Igatus may be the mastermind behind the killings, that was why he beat up Lucian and was angry he saved her when he wasn't supposed to intervene. How have they stayed under the radar for so long? And I definitely know there is a third man behind the scene. Igatus mentioned him the other day. I heard him clearly. With the revelations and events happening around me, I was becoming more distant from Aden and my fear was for him not to notice these changes. I know Aden was smart enough to pick up on the fact that something was wrong by now. Although, on my part, I t
Aden's POVElliot called to tell me Lisa was nowhere to be found. This was weird because Elliot had told me he would wait for her to be done with her classes, and then they would both go to her apartment to pick up her stuff and finally come over here. That was how it was supposed to be.That was the plan!My world was falling apart. The crisis was growing; Kierra is with my evil twin brother, Madam Charity has been stuck in that prison called a house for ages, Menessa is dead, Charles is nowhere to be found, and Lisa has gone missing for hours now. What wrong have I done? Perhaps I am cursed! That was the only explanation for why I had a series of problems.People around me end up getting hurt or dead. I was losing confidence in myself. Whenever I think of getting back what my brother took from me; that's becoming an Alpha again, I stop to ask myself if I deserve it. I feel like an imposter. I used to feel great about being able to fix things but I wasn't confident about that anymor
Kierra's POV"You should stop asking such questions in the open Miss Kierra. It's not safe for you and me." Madam Charity typed."I am sorry, but I really want to know who you are. What role do you have to play in all of this and who is the stranger giving you directives? Is there something the Alpha is hiding?" I asked."Miss Kierra, all you need is a little patience. I didn't know it was you all this while until Menessa told me. We all thought you were dead.""What do you mean you didn't know it was me? I have been in this house for a while. Why are you telling me this like you are just meeting for the first time? How can you say you never knew who I am? You must be kidding, right.""Patience, you will soon find out the truth, all you need to know will be told to you." I didn't want her to confuse me further since she wasn't going to tell me anything for now. So I just agreed to what she asked. I'll be patient."If you say so." I typed. She motioned for us to leave the cellar.The
