~Kierra's POV~

The memory of that fateful night still haunts me, refusing to fade away even after a decade. The trauma lingers, vivid and raw, etched deep within my mind.

It was as if time had stood still on that night, when the moon cast an eerie glow over our silent house. The midnight hour was shattered by the unsettling sound of creaking floorboards. Madam Ann, our housekeeper, had ventured downstairs, her footsteps cautious and light, seeking for a glass of water. Little did she know that something bad was about happening that night.

As a werewolf, Madam Ann possessed heightened senses, and the heartbeat of the intruders reverberated through the corridors, revealing their presence. Three of them had infiltrated our home, concealed in shadows. She treaded softly, careful not to attract their attention, witnessing the unspeakable act as they mercilessly stabbed my uncle and aunt ( his mate). Her horror was palpable, yet she suppressed her instinct to scream, taking cover before they could spot her. In that moment, she overheard their whispered plans, a sinister plot to abduct me.

"They had already claimed your uncle and aunt, leaving their lifeless bodies in their wake," Madam Ann confided in me one evening, the setting sun casting a golden glow over our beachside conversation.

"Before they reduced the house to ashes, they sought to prevent any chance of regeneration by piercing their hearts with silver stakes," she explained, her voice laced with tears.

"Their motive was clear – to erase any traces and cover their tracks," she added, her words quivering with a mix of sorrow and anger.

Madam Ann went on to reveal that, just before that ill-fated night, my uncle had been summoned to meet a mysterious man. She had witnessed him entering a luxurious car, returning with a grim countenance, his anger barely contained.

It was during her search through the charred remains of our home that she stumbled upon a clue, a locket hidden in my uncle's room. Its pendant was incomplete, missing a piece that may have been dislodged during the struggle between the killer and my uncle before the final blow.

The fire raged on for hours until the valiant efforts of the Fire Department subdued its wrath. In the aftermath, when the crowd had dispersed, Madam Ann ventured back into the ruins, desperate for a glimmer of hope. But her hopes were shattered as she discovered my uncle and aunt, life extinguished by the flames. And there, beneath the ashes, lay the locket, its secrets waiting to be unraveled.

My first year in Minx town was a lonely one, the weight of loss bearing down upon me. Fear and apprehension prevented me from forging new friendships, and the new high school I attended paled in comparison to my former vibrant world in Kenvy.

However, time has a way of healing wounds and opening doors. It was after two years that I found solace in the friendship of Beatrice, a  human. In her presence, I felt a sense of security, knowing she posed no threat to my true nature.

Minx city was home to a diverse population, with humans far outnumbering the werewolves that had dominated my previous surroundings. And it was in this city that I crossed paths with Scott, my second friend, five years ago during our college days.

Scott was a breath of fresh air, his humor and kindness captivating my attention. Despite considering him my closest confidant, I never anticipated his unexpected confession of love three years ago. I was taken aback, unable to fathom the idea of a romantic relationship with him. He had always been my dependable companion, someone I cherished as a dear friend.

I found myself laughing incredulously, assuming it was a playful prank or an elaborate ruse.

"You must be joking, Scott. Is today April Fools' Day?" I exclaimed, my laughter echoing through the classroom.

But he persisted, pinching his left thumb with his right fingers, struggling to maintain his composure.

"No, Kierra. I'm not joking," he declared earnestly, his eyes filled with vulnerability. "I've summoned the courage to tell you that I love you."

The words hung in the air, shocking and bewildering me. I questioned his sincerity, believing he must be confused or mistaken.

"Why would you say that, Scott? Are you sure you're not just confused?" I probed, searching his eyes for a sign that this was all a misunderstanding.

In an attempt to reassure me, he reached for my hands, his touch comforting yet tinged with longing. He pleaded for my trust, assuring me that his feelings were genuine, unlike anything he had experienced before.

Overwhelmed by emotions, I bolted from the classroom, seeking solace in the refuge of a taxi that would take me home. Reciprocating his affection was an impossibility, and guilt plagued my heart for hurting Scott, a genuinely kind and charming individual. He possessed an understated handsomeness, his intellect and infectious smile serving as his most striking features. I had noticed other girls stealing glances in our direction, yet I knew that Beatrice, my closest friend, harbored a secret infatuation for him, concealed even from me.

With werewolf senses as my ally, I detected the accelerated beat of Beatrice's heart whenever the three of us were together. It was a bittersweet knowledge, and I grappled with the dilemma of revealing Scott's feelings to her. But the potential heartbreak it would cause dissuaded me from confessing the truth.

In my pursuit to protect our friendship, I sought out Scott the following day. With a heavy heart, I expressed my inability to reciprocate his love, suggesting that we continue as friends. To my surprise, he responded with remarkable maturity and understanding.

"Don't worry, Kierra," he said, a genuine smile gracing his face. "You don't have to love me back just because I confessed my feelings. I simply needed to unburden my heart."

That day, I was grateful for his unwavering composure and acceptance. We remained steadfast friends, guarding our secret from Beatrice, unwilling to risk losing two of my closest companions over unrequited love.

Yet, I couldn't help but believe that my heart was incapable of loving again, scarred by the loss of Aden, my high school love. Aden was a paragon of intelligence, kindness, and striking handsomeness, even as a teenager.

He possessed a willingness to help others, a quality that set him apart.

Although we were classmates, we had never spoken, my status as the new kid in school preventing me from forming connections. It wasn't until our school organized a three-day camp that our paths finally intertwined.

Aden, the son of Alpha Morrison, the esteemed Alpha of Kenvy, carried the weight of his family's legacy. The Morrisons were renowned for their vast wealth, their empire spanning multiple industries across the globe. Despite this, Aden remained humble, a quality that endeared him to all who knew him.

Three days after the tragic loss of my family and  running away from Kenvy, I made a desperate call to a friend from school, hoping to get any information about Aden. What I learned shattered my heart, plunging me deeper into the abyss of despair.

Aden was gone, lost to a tragic accident, a fall from a cliff. The news struck me like a thunderbolt, leaving me devastated. How could yet another person who brought immense joy to my life be taken away?

My existence seemed to be entangled with an unyielding tapestry of tragedies, each one tearing at the fragile fabric of my soul.

    Aden's POV I have never joked with my gut feelings. It's there for a reason. So I don't overlook it. I knew something was going on in Borgn that was linked to Vampires. It was clear for anyone with eyes to see. Unless people in Borgn were trying to cover it up because they didn't want everyone to think an impending war was on the way. By the way, we werewolves don't bite that way, we ain't bloodsuckers. When we bite, we bite to kill and that's in our werewolf form. Another reason for a werewolf to bite is to mark his mate of course. "How do I know this much?" Cassel asked me right after what happened to Helena in the woods. After Helena came back home that fateful day looking terrified. Cassel finally picked interest in the V word. I know he one day would. It's just unfortunate Helena had to get hurt before he listened.

I asked myself. Was I given the wrong information then? It had to be, I shook Aden's hands yesterday. He was standing right in front of me. He was real. I couldn't forget the way he looked at me yesterday. I have never felt so weak under someone's gaze. The way he called my name was so natural and sweet. Did he know I had applied to work in his firm? He didn't look surprised to see me. I hope I get to see him alone and ask him questions I need to find answers to. He had to explain to me what triggered and who helped spread the rumor of his death. And most importantly, he might have had an idea or must have heard stories related to my family's demise. I could use his help to search for answers. But I had to stop myself from thinking we were going to be as close as we were in the past… "Kierra, Ade

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.

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.

    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
