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
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
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
