Hearing her name made Kiara feel fear and rage flare through her, and she would do anything not to see her again. Angeline saw her pitiful attempt to run off the balcony as she stumbled and faltered. Kiara straightened up at the same time the blonde woman made her way to her. "Hello, Kiara."Kiara took a few steps back instinctively, which made Angeline give a wide ear-to-ear smile, revealing rows of her pearly white teeth."I thought you were a Luna now, but you don't seem to have changed at all. Still trying to run away like frightened prey" Her smile did not fade. There was something very chilling about her voice. Kiara wasn't sure if it was because Angeline's voice was so hoarse or maybe it was just because she hadn't heard her voice in a long time. And now it had become her terror. She had never been unafraid of her, but now that fear was different. Angeline enjoys it, her green eyes glinting.She was much thinner than Kiara last remembered. Now there was a hollow on her chee
"It's not because of her I guess. It came on its own all of a sudden I've felt it since earlier." Kiara tried to explain. Anything that would make him feel better. She could tell he was angry, upset, and worried about what had just happened. He was afraid that Angeline had done something to her, but the woman hadn't. Angeline, strangely, just came as if to see Kiara and did nothing. He did not give any answers. The Alpha laid her down on a king-sized bed in a room not far from where the party was. Kiara felt the urge not to fall into a deep sleep as the comfort of the bed touched her spine. She closed her eyes for a moment, and the wave of dizziness slowly subsided. Maybe this was what she needed. To lie down for a moment and close her eyes. Not medicine or anything.She glanced at him, who was standing facing the window with his back to her, taking a phone from his pocket and bringing it to his ear. He waited for the person to answer his call. He had not said anything since he
A week had passed since the banquet night, and this morning, Dave surprisingly allowed her to go out of the manor. He didn't say where she was allowed to go, so Kiara assumed she could go anywhere.But Dave emphasized that he would send two Gammas with her and also Giselle to accompany her. Kiara was too happy to figure out where she should go. There are too many options, too many places in her head right now.Giselle had suggested that they go downtown again. Which meant going back to that row of grand buildings and splendid crowds. Kiara hesitated, "What are we going to do there?" She couldn't imagine anything fun. She was always afraid of being in the center of a city as big as Guivor alone, especially this time when she was not with Dave. There's so much people she didn't know.What if she ran into Angeline and her new vampire lover again? What if Dante decided to do anything he hadn't had time to do to her back on the balcony that night? She was terrified to imagine what Angeli
Eudora was not kicked out of the manor. That was what Kiara realized today, and couldn't help but feel relieved. Fortunately, Dave didn't do what his sister thought he would. The girl was in the main parlor with several of Malion's cousins. Enjoying their morning tea while chatting. Most of them paid no attention as Kiara and Giselle passed by, but Eudora's eyes were instinctively drawn to them. Kiara smiled at her. Eudora gave no response.Kiara followed Giselle into the kitchen, which was quite deserted at this time of the day. Several servants gave a respectful nod as she came and gave her the space. "Luna, you may go to your room right away. I'll make it for you. And I'll let you know when I'm finished." "No, I won't. I already said I wanted to help make the cake today." She arranged the items they bought from the market on the table. It was flour, eggs, cream, and baking powder. The ingredients for the dough. She and Giselle returned earlier than they had planned today aft
The room is quiet except for the soft weeping coming from the direction of the bed. He made straight for his mate, who hugged the pillow tightly and buried her face in it. He could not see her face, but he could already tell how badly tears stained her lovely face as her shoulder trembled violently. And all of this was his fault, it's because of him that she cried."Kiara.." He began to touch her shoulder gently. We weren't sure she would want to listen to him.Her trembling shoulders were slightly stopped by Dave's touch, and so was the sobbing. But her body stiffened. Dave could hear how she was trying to regulate her breath."Please, listen to why I'm doing any of this. Give me a chance to explain" The reason why he intended to hide her pregnancy from her and why he didn't tell her right away. Dave believed that what he did was the right decision. Her reaction, however, was something else. He had prepared to face her rage, but sadness? Never crossed his mind that she would be t
"Luna, Doctor Gwenna wants to see you," Giselle came to her room and said.Kiara looked up to her, "Send her in." She had finished her morning shower and m her breakfast. As she didn't have anything to do this morning, she planned to help Giselle in the kitchen. She didn't expect Gwenna to ask to see her. Gwenna entered shortly after. She stood in the doorway. "Gwenna? Come here." Kiara invited her in as she just stood there. Gwenna stepped in nervously, twiddling her fingers in front of her body. The guilt on her face was so vivid, that she didn't want to meet Kiara's eyes. Kiara sighed. This must be about her pregnancy, she feels guilty for not telling her right away. "Please forgive me!" And just as she thought, she heard Gwenna's plea right away. "I didn't want to make you sad or make misunderstandings occur. Alpha Dave intended to keep the news about this quiet for a while..." "Gwenna..." Kiara held both of Gwenna's shoulders, preventing her from kneeling before her. "It'
~7 months later.~Kiara had never seen pack members train before. She didn't have the chance, as she rarely visited the pack house again. She was always afraid to go to the place where most of Dave's men lived. She kept overthinking about how they wouldn't like her here.And the last time she had been in this place, it had ended in trouble with the vampires. She wasn't ready, though she missed this place.Kiara had never seen her husband train before, either. And now, as she watched him, she could not take her eyes off him. The Alpha was treating his training like a mere game.Kiara knew that Dave had not shed his ability and focus, instead, he looked relaxed when he blocked and countered people who happened to attack him. Even Sam, who seemed so fiery to have a chance of a one-on-one duel with him, was brought down with ease by the Alpha.Sam didn't give up, as he hit the ground, he got up with a ferocious wolfish growl. He seemed so eager to prove his strength and ability this tim
"That's not what I wanted to say..." Dave tries to explain it to her. Of course, he was happy that she was willing to watch him train with his men. So that he could do a bit of flexing his skills in front of his mate. It's just that he didn't want her to wait, she might get bored. Plus, her growing belly must make her tire more easily. Her expression was hurt as soon as she heard his words, and Dave wanted to withdraw them right then and there. "Kiara, I just want you to have rest-"She didn't wait for him to continue his words and waltzed away at a fast pace. Dave was rooted to the spot, too shocked to react. What had happened to his mate? Did he misspeak? Had something happened to her that she hadn't told him about? Was it possible that the women in his pack had treated her so badly that she was offended? But almost everyone they met today welcomed him and his mate wholeheartedly. He came to his senses and ran after her, who had first made her way to Gwenna's house direction.
Kiara was relieved to learn that Daniel had kept his word and taken Lana to the safe place, the manor, where she had been residing for the past few days. None of the threats she had received in the packhouse would be present here.They got up early and took Acadia for a stroll through the rose garden and the greenhouse. The greenhouse was a sight for sore eyes, as all the flowers were blooming like nobody's business despite the late spring. Lana was holding a bundle of joy in her arms as the little one was busy checking out the lay of the land. "I can't believe It's real. I've always wanted to visit a greenhouse since I was a kid, but the ticket in the city costs half of my grocery budget for the month. When I got here, I was like, "Does anyone have a whole greenhouse in their yard? haha." Lana laughed as she finished her sentence.Kiara remembered that the first time she worked for this family, she was just as excited as Lana. It would have been nice to take Lana here back then, to t
He pulled her dress up, bent, and pressed her legs against her chest. She pushed her panties sideways in a rude movement. Dave didn't give her even a moment to protest or catch her breath while he lowered the zipper of his trouser and guided his already hardening cock into her. Kiara's eyes widened in panic as she felt his long and girthy length slowly trying to penetrate. He intended to do it here! "P-please don't do it here-" she tried to make him hear her.But her efforts were in vain as she struggled to catch her breath, and all that came out of her lips was an incoherent moan when his body started to move in sync with his thrusts into her. Slow at first, but Dave picked up the pace over time, which overwhelmed her. She hugged his body. Crumpling his shirt and burying her face in the crook of his neck, Kiara closed her eyes. Her face was flushed and hot. She felt extremely ashamed and overwhelmed.She bit her tongue to keep the embarrassing voice from escaping her lips. She was
It's past midnight and Kiara can't sleep. Three days have passed since Dave sent the triplets to the Lycans and since then, she can't sleep peacefully. She was alone in the room because Dave had gone out after dinner. Acadia was with Rosemary so Kiara didn't have to worry about her at least for now. Rose to her feet, she grabbed a thick coat and put it on over her flimsy nightgown then darted out of Gwenna's house.She had to walk quite a far before she finally spotted her mate standing under a willow tree. Dave had his back to her and not seeming to hear her coming, Kiara ran to him. "Dave!" He turned around and was surprised to see she was there. "Kiara? Why are you here?" He reached and held her hand so that she wouldn't slip on the grass that was wet with night dew. Shouldn't she be the one asking why he was here? He didn't catch up with her in their room after dinner and instead, went out with Sam. After that day with the triplets, he made the pack members realize how important
Gwenna was the first to realize that the person they were waiting for was already in place. She didn't care anymore if Kiara wouldn't; she would tell everything to the Alpha about what the triplets were trying to do to the human girl. And let's see what Dave would do to them. 'They think that they won't get punished?' Gwenna's temper flared up as soon as she heard Kiara say that yesterday."Dave, they're being insolent to Luna Kiara! "They broke the pack's rules, and they tried to hurt Lana!"The Alpha and Beta had just returned from their jogging around the packhouse and were greeted with this commotion.Dave didn't immediately respond to Gwenna and tackled Caleb and his brothers. He walked over to his wife instead. Kiara had already risen to her feet. One hand was tightly wrapped around her other arms. Dave noticed the reddened blister on her right elbow, and his jaw clenched. She stared at him with visible relief, but there was also subtle worry. "Dave...""Are you alright?"She no
Acadia was crying loudly when they returned. As a baby who didn't usually fuss when someone else was holding her, it seemed that the baby was angry when she woke up and it wasn't her mom by her side.Rosemary bounced her on her arm, trying to stop the crying. She breathed a sigh of relief as she saw Kiara. "Oh, thank goodness you've come." She handed the baby to her mother. Kiara ran the tip of her fingers over Acadia's nose, which was red because of her weeping. She knew that the baby wasn't hungry because she had breastfed her before, so she must have cried when she woke up and felt an unfamiliar figure with her.And sure enough, as if instantly recognizing that her mom was back, Acadia's crying subsided. Her little fingers tugged on Kiara's hair, making her chuckle. "Are you looking for mommy? Relax, my dear; Mom is here now."Gwenna joined them after returning from the kitchen. "Kiara, did you call me earlier? I'm sorry I didn't hear it; the music was so loud. What is it? I hop
If she arrived even a minute late, Kiara didn't know what could happen to her best friend. Lana was curled up on the ground. She had tried to fight and run as fast as she could, but she stumbled, and they caught her easily. She was surrounded by three pack members, who Kiara noticed don't usually go to the manor to carry out Dave's duties. The three male members were young, at least in their late twenties. They seemed to be not only bothering Lana trivially but also scaring her to death until the girl's body trembled.The other two young guys who brought her to Lana are named Ezekiel and Luke. They saw what the three people did to Lana by accident and immediately reported it to Kiara. And once she got that information, she froze in place. Lana! She had forgotten about her friend. She forgot Lana was still at the party!Her panic over Acadia's safety earlier made her completely forget that she was in charge of one more person's safety. Her human friend, whom she invited to come here.
The baby's cries grew louder and louder, and Kiara rocked her in her arms, intending to calm Acadia down a little. "Ssh, ssh, mommy is here, Cadia. Sleep again, sweetheart." But she knew that once the baby was awake, it would be harder to get her back to sleep.Dave stepped up to his Luna after signaling the others to just go ahead with the feast and pretending what had just happened never happened. But he had sent Daniel to tighten the guard, especially if there were still people like Arthur in the pack. "My daughter is distracted, isn't she?" He spoke softly to Kiara, lowering his body slightly as if for Acadia to hear him. "Don't be afraid, little one; Dad already took care of that damn bastard, that damn rogue. He won't be able to harm you, I promise." Locked in the dungeon, even though Dave didn't give any orders on what to do with Arthur other than lock him up, what the rogue had just said was enough to get him in big trouble. The pack members in charge of guarding the priso
In an instant, all attention was drawn to the person who had shouted so impudently. The crowd parted as the person stepped forward. Dave cannot shift his gaze from someone who has so boldly said such a thing.He was a man, still young, in his early twenties. He had an almost-bald haircut with piercings along each of his ears and tattoos on both his arms. At first glance, he didn't stand out from the other pack members. But he knew that this man wasn't a pack member. "Closer," the Alpha ordered. The man made his way closer to the Alpha and the Luna of the Pureblood pack. Dave remained calm while Kiara stood vigilantly in her place. She tightened her embrace with Acadia in her arms as the stranger approached. She was disappointed, but not surprised. Somehow Kiara had prepared herself for disapproval if Dave decided to make Acadia his heir. But she thought it would be because of her position before she became Luna, because she was a low ranking werewolf back then, rather than because
The day they brought Acadia to the pack has finally arrived for the very first time. The baby is now one month and three weeks old, a little later than the age at which the naming ceremony should have been held.Only pack members would attend the celebration—someone who is not from the Pureblood pack, only Rosemary and Lana. Kiara invited Lana only after she got permission from Dave. "Are you sure you want to invite your friend?" Dave asked her, sounding a little unsure of Kiara's decision to invite the human. Lana would be coming alone, as Hannah was unable to attend. "Yeah, I'm sure. She's happy to come," Kiara reassured him. Dave stared at his mate quizzically and said, "But isn't she a human, Kiara?"His words brought Kiara's full attention to him. For a few moments, she was left dumbfounded by what he said. She calms herself. She knew he meant well; it wasn't because he hated having humans at his daughter's naming ceremony. "Yes, Lana is a human, Dave. But she's my friend, and
