Aden's POV"Elliot, do you know Igatus?"Elliot stared at me as if he wanted to deny it. Then he asked."How do you know him?" He fired back."I went to Raven Park," I told him."Why would you do that?" He asks."I was looking for the one responsible for killing all those women in such a gruesome manner.""I see. I'll advise you to forget about looking for answers because even if you find them you can never do anything about it." Elliot replied.Cassel stepped in to speak"So you know, Elliot, this killing isn't just in Kenvy alone but in Borgn as well. So you need to help us with all you know."Not only Kenvy...hum…, so they are already spreading. That's fast" Elliot blurts out."Spreading! What do you mean by spreading?" I ask Elliot."Let me tell you, you are just wasting your time. This is beyond you, me, the Alpha and everyone who thinks they want to do something to stop this.""Why are you speaking hopelessly?""I have seen what they can do. Why do you think I have survived thi
Kierra's POVThe long-awaited call came through. I have been waiting here for twenty minutes. I picked up the call and he told me he was at my door.I went to open the door for him to come in. "Welcome, please have a seat" I offered him a seat in the dining area."Thank you""Would you like some water?""Yes please!"I brought the water to him and dropped it on the dining table. He looked at me and said."Kierra, what have you done? I told you coming back here wasn't the right thing to do. Now we are doomed!'' he speaks to me while shaking his head. "Was it that bad?" I thought to myself."What did I do? And why do you keep saying I shouldn't have come back? You expect me to run away and pretend everything's okay. You want me to let my Uncle and aunt's killers live in peace.""That's not what I am saying, Kierra. Some battles are better left unfought. Have a seat and listen to what I have to tell you." the Whisperer said with tired-looking eyes."Ok," I say, pulling a chair forwar
Aden's POV"Yes, Lisa. She's the one holding me back. How, you ask? Soon you shall know." Elliot said.I stared at him trying to figure out what he was referring to exactly. But no matter how hard I tried. I still couldn't guess why he said Lisa was the one holding him back from leaving Kenvy. I let him be."Ok, if you say so" I answered."I think we are done here. I have told you what I know. And I can't let you get me involved in this. I used to think the Alpha was also part of what was going on in Kenvy but after what I found out, it's sad that he knows nothing and his so-called business partner Igatus and Moonking are the ones pulling him down.""When you discovered the Alpha had no hand in it, why didn't you inform him about what was happening ?" Cassel asked."What! Are you serious right now? I made a deal with Igatus, which is why I am still alive today. Do you want me to mess that up? By the way, what can the Alpha do, he is weak, to be honest. I wonder why he hardly takes m
Kierra's POV"So my uncle never gave up the search for her?" I asked."No, he didn't. He said his wife wasn't the carefree and happy woman he used to know. So he promised to look for Lisa no matter how long it took. He never found her corpse so he said he had no reason to pronounce his own daughter dead." "I could remember my aunt always looking depressed. She loved me, I know. But she was not a happy woman. This was the reason why. She lost a child.""Now you've heard about your origin and you now also know about the sad passing of your parents and the role your uncle played in your life and what they lost too"I stood up and began pacing. This was just so much to take in. I knew I was unique but I didn't know my existence could be a trouble to my kind. "What do I do now Mr Kendrick?""Kierra, I can't watch you hurt yourself. I was there when it all happened. I am doing this because your uncle wouldn't have wanted the enemy to find you.""How can I know who Mikazi's descendants are
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
