Aden's POVWhile Cassel goes to see Menessa. I waited patiently hoping that everything will be okay. When Cassel is back, by night I'll go after Elliot to persuade him to listen to me and change his mind Ever since Piers shared the clip that has Kierra in it. I think I have watched it more than a hundred times. Whenever I was ideal and thought about her so much, I watch the clip over and over. I was happy she had grown into a lady not to be messed with. I was surprised she possessed such powers, strength and speed and the stuff she did to those guys was astonishing. I never knew or saw that side of her before, perhaps she discovered it after we were apart.Although it was nice to see she could stand up for herself, deep down, I was worried because I didn't like the idea that she was getting into trouble in Kenvy. It was later we heard the full details about what happened, that the whole incident took place at the Marina and unfortunately the girl saved later died. People were alr
Kierra's POVIt would have been better if I lived my life without knowing all that I know now. Ignorance is bliss in this situation of mine. I felt like I was about to go crazy from the thoughts that went through my head. My nightmares about Aden dying has increased. Who was I going to share my worries with?I can't tell Aden because things will get more complicated. For how long do I have to wait without a mate? The Wisperer's warning was all I could hear. The other day, I burnt the sauce I was helping Madam Charity to stir. She asked me if I was okay. Of course not! I was lost in thought. What occupied my thoughts was, if the Moon goddess eventually chooses someone else for me, will it be chaotic if I defied her? I am supposed to be in control of my destiny and Aden is a good man. How could I abandon him for another if it turns out that Aden isn't my mate after all? After all the love he has shown me, he has proved to. me that he loved me for me. Couldn't I fight the universe
Aden's POVIt seems everyone is finding their mates these days except for me. First, it was Charles and Menessa, now it's Elliot and Lisa. Even though I had seen Kierra, I wasn't as happy as I thought I'll be. She's alive but not with me, we aren't even mates. I promised her years ago I didn't care if we turned out as mates or not, I am going to stick with her. I began to have terrible thoughts, the one that scared me more was that; what if it turns out Kierra has been staying with Argon because they are mates? The thought alone weakened me and made me feel squeamish.Another thought came."And if it does happen to be so, can't you fight for her Aden? Will you just let your brother have her?"Then another thought."Walk in there and seize her. That's what an Alpha will do."I wanted to scream. I think I am losing my mind."Why are you tapping your feet, are you angry or is something bothering you?" Elliot asked."You don't want to know Elliot. The anger I feel right now is so intens
Kierra's POV"Please, Aden. Staying in this house all day is killing me.""But you have Beatrice to keep you company. It is still not safe for you yet!""Then what about work? Who is doing all that I have to do at the office?""I found someone to do it temporarily, while you are on holiday " he smiled."Aden, you never said anything to me and why would you call this a holiday? I am ideal here.""It is a holiday if you ask me because you are using this time to rest. And I need you to make use of this time resting well, not worrying. You can go to the village if you want, and spend time there. You were once annoyed that I didn't tell you about the place, why don't you go spend time there and make new friends."I let out a deep sigh of defeat."Aden going to the village is not the same as going out of this environment.""Please, Kierra. Trust me when I say I know what I am doing. You are safer here. I don't want to tell you this but your persistence leaves me no choice.… There are thing
Aden's POVWhat happened two days ago was proof that Elliot was being watched. He swore he wasn't going to let this slide.Elliot immediately reconsidered his decision about helping me. We left his house which was wrecked by Igatus men.I told him to come with me. He asked if where I stayed was safe. I answered him by telling him when he sees the location, he can conclude for himself if it was or wasn't. When we reached he asked."Do you own this?""Yeah," I answered."Woooh, I wasn't expecting this. I had something different in mind" Elliot looked around the house."Perhaps you think that because I have a tragic story, then all aspects of my life should miserable. " Most times that's how it should be. Haha... Just joking. I think I like it here already" he said as he sat on a couch. and crossed his legs. I had made the mistake of hating Elliot at first, despite our experience with Igatus's men, he still found a way to look happy and carefree."I briefed Cassel about our encounter a
Kierra's POVAn apology note!This was a warning note concealed as an apology note.Was Elliot trying to play a prank here? I squeezed the note and threw it into the trash can. It looked like it was written by someone who knows me well. If I didn't know better I would have said it was Aden. Because why would anyone include the number of years—Ten years in the note? That was unique to me and Aden.So the question is where did Elliot get it from? Who gave it to him? I think the main reason why he was here was not to apologize to me but to hand me that note. Bringing pizza to me was just a decoy to find the note.After an hour, I picked up my phone to call Pizza Lover's costumes care line. I would tell whoever was on the line to put Elliot on the phone. Then I can ask him the necessary questions. A guy picked up the call. When I asked about Elliot, he said Elliot was not back yet. I decided to let Elliot's issue go for a while because I was beginning to worry about when Menessa was g
Aden's POV"It's done! I delivered it" Elliot grinned as he joined us near the fountain. I sat in silence while Cassel had his back to a tree with his head downward and Piers who sat next to me had his arms folded. We all looked distraught by the incident."And I didn't see Lucian this time." He added."Still not sure if he lives there huh, we need to be sure. Only then can we conclude that he is a spy" he continued speaking."Yeah, why is everybody looking sad? Did anything bad happen? What did I miss?" Elliot asked."Menessa is dead" Cassel answered."Menessa? Oh, the spy lady who works for Aden. How did that happen? And where is Charles?"I couldn't reply to Elliot's questions, I was too hurt to speak. I wasn't prepared for what had hit me today. Menessa is gone."Igatus had her killed right in front of us and we can't say where Charles had gone. He took her corpse with him." Piers replied."The son of bitch! He is now after us. That means he has been keeping his eyes on us." Elli
Kierra's POVThe first time I met Mr Anderson, the feeling wasn't a delightful one for me.I just didn't like him. The way he spoke with so much pride and authority. I was mad at Aden for listening to everything he said and doing as he was told by him. I continued to wonder if Mr Anderson was the reason everyone was trying to tell me to be careful. I have only seen him once this month and that was after the incident at the Marina. I didn't see him as often as I used to initially. I didn't care why he wasn't around much and I didn't ask Aden why.Sincerely I was happy, I was seeing less of him now.During the time he came, what he told me was"Kierra, you are indeed a special one! You are more than I ever anticipated. Thank you for coming back!"Yeah, that was it. That's what he said. It looked like he was finally seeing me as someone important and funny enough thanking me for coming back. Coming back! Back into Aden's life or back to where exactly? He smiled and walked out, I gave
