Kit’s POV The sound of the doorbell ringing awoke me, after I had finally fallen asleep in the early hours of the morning. At first, I pulled a pillow over my head thinking that someone else could get it, but then I remembered that I was the only one now here. Grabbing my robe, I quickly slipped it on, before I headed downstairs to see who was continuously ringing it. My biggest mistake was answering the door without looking to see who it was. As I opened the door, the men on the other side pushed the door open with force, making me step back quickly, as I stared at two huge men making there way into my father’s home. “What do you want?” I asked them, pulling my robe tighter around my body, not wanting to expose any of my flesh to them. The bigger of the two men chuckled before he said, “You made a grave mistake messing with our boss, and we were sent here to send you a message to back off.” “I think you h
Dom’s POV After the pack doctor insured me that Kit would be okay, I had the two men that assaulted her to deal with. They would pay dearly for laying their hands on my mate, and so would their boss.I should have known after I had spoken to her father’s lawyer that I should have put protection detail on her, but I never thought that they would come for her. I was the one digging into the estate not her, but I should have known that they would have gone after her, sending a message to me, a message that I had heard loud and clear, and that they would all pay with their lives for.After leaving Kit last night like I had, I found myself not able to go home, or sleep and ended up in my office at the Town Hall. There I spent the rest of my night digging into the dealings of Kit’s brother-in-law, where I had found him doing dealings with individuals that my father had band from our territory. With further digging, I also found out that these individuals were investors of hi
Dom’s POV It had been a long ass morning and with my lack of sleep, I desperately needed a cup of coffee if I was going to make it through the rest of the day and everything that needed to be done to ensure Kit’s safety. Remembering my way around the house, I made my way to the kitchen to make a pot of coffee, knowing that Ms. Caroline would probably be with Kit for awhile before she came downstairs. As the coffee perked, I couldn’t help but to notice a plate of Ms. Caroline’s cookies sitting on the counter, and I had to chuckle knowing that Kit had been holding out on me last night. Snatching my favorite cookie from the plate, I went to pop it in my mouth, when I felt eyes on me, and turned to see the little Alpha staring at me. “Can I help you get something?” I asked the little Alpha, as I realized that he was no longer staring at me but the cookie in my hand. The little Alpha’s eyes moved back to me, once I spoke to hi
Kit’s POV The feeling of a cool cloth on my face startled me awake, as my eyes focused on Ms. Caroline standing over me. “Easy child. I felt a fever coming on, and I am just trying to bring it down before it escalates.” She said to me with kindness in her eyes, and I let myself relax back onto my pillow, knowing that it was her, and that she was trying to help me. My nerves were on edge with what had happened earlier, and I found myself uneasy, but knowing that Ms. Caroline was here, I knew that I was in good hands. “I never thought that they would come for you.” Ms. Caroline says as she pulls the cloth from my head, and puts it in a basin of water, I am sure to cool it back off.“I was more concerned about your sister and her children’s wellbeing. I never would have thought they would have come for you. I should have insisted on staying on staff.” Ms. Caroline now says to me, as if she was taking responsibility for what had happened to me, but I was ha
Kit’s POV A few days had passed, and physically my body was healing, but my heart remained shattered. I had hidden in my room for the last couple of days, sulking in my sorrows of losing Dom from my life once again, not knowing if I was going to ever be able to recover from it this time.If it wasn’t for Damian constantly checking up on me, I didn’t know if I would ever have the strength to leave this bed again, but I knew that I had to pull myself together for him. Damian was all that I truly had left of Dom in my life, and he was the greatest gift the Moon Goddess could have ever given me, since I was destine never to be with my fated mate. At least I would always have a part of Dom with me, and our son would always be a reminder to me of the love that we once shared. Making my way gingerly down the stairs, knowing that I needed some fresh air, I was greeted at the bottom of the stairs by Ms. Caroline. “I am so happy to see you up and moving this morning. I can get
Kit’s POV Trying to put my best game face on, I smiled at Luna Rebeca, before I said to her, “Luna Rebeca, it is a pleasure to see you. I would stand to welcome you, but as you can see, I am a bit unwell.” “I heard you were attacked in your own home, and I came to make sure that you are alright. I am sorry that this happened on our territory, and Dom has given me his word that he has sent his men to protect you for the rest of your duration of your stay with us.” Luna Rebeca said to me, with what sounded like sincerity in her voice, but her eyes were telling me a different story, and I realized quickly I wasn’t the only one putting a show on. “Would you like a cup of tea, Luna Rebeca?” Ms. Caroline asks her, and Luna Rebeca quickly says, “No thank you, I am just here because I would like a moment with Luna Katrina alone.”Ms. Caroline’s eyes quickly moved to mine, and I nodded my head telling her it was okay, before I turned my attention
Kit’s POV Barely having time to process the conversation that just transpired between Luna Rebeca and myself, my sister comes flying out of the house, like a tornado on a path of destruction, as she begins to yell at me, “What the hell have you done now?” Looking at her, I had no idea what the hell she was talking about, because for the last couple of days I had been healing in the comfort of my bedroom, but I knew that it had to be something to do with our father’s estate. “What is it that you are accusing me of this time?” I asked her, knowing that I should be the one questioning her about her mate’s dealings. Her eyes finally met with mine as she moved towards the table and the look of disgust on her face quickly changed when she saw how bad my face looked. “What the hell happened to you?” she now asks, with now what looks like worry plaguing her face. I hesitated for a moment, not knowing what I should tell her, since
Dom’s POV I had been in my office for days now, trying to avoid the world, and my endless thoughts of Kit, as I dug deeper into her father’s estate and her sister’s mate. Luna Rebeca kept checking on me for some unknown reason, and I think she might be onto that I was on the verge of renouncing our union since she has been unable to produce an heir for me. But right now, that was at the back of my mind, as I needed to focus on fixing the issue with Kit’s father’s estate, so that she could leave my territory for good this time, getting her out of my sight, and hopefully out of my mind.It was killing me to know that she had a child with him, and that she had kept it from me. What was killing me the most was knowing that it should have been me to father her child, because I was her fated mate by the grace of the Moon Goddess, and I felt like this was my punishment for allowing my father to dictate who I took as my mate. A part of me felt like she kept thi
