Angeline handed her a big black paper bag, even though she was already carrying two. The Luna did it with a sweet smile on her lips, like a big sister asking a favor of her little sister. They had been walking for so long, Kiara was starting to feel her legs aching, but Luna Angeline and Madam Macaine still didn't seem to have gotten the items they wanted. They were in one of the shopping centers in Guivor, not one that their family owned. Macaine wanted to go to a new place, Kiara thought she wouldn't take her there since Alpha Dave hadn't said she had to, but the woman did anyway. "You don't look quite satisfied with the boots, Angelina?" She only gave a faint smile on her lips as she replied, her voice thick with disappointment: "They're not the same color I wanted, mother. My mom gave them to me when I was seven, I just wanted the same ones." "The clerks said the one you wanted will arrive from Arathei next week." Macaine paused for a moment, "that's a bit long." Angelin
Lucifer extended his hand, but when Kiara didn't take it, the man was about to pull her towards him. Quickly, the girl backed up and out of his reach, and the blond man furrowed his brow. "Let me take you to lunch," he offered kindly, "while we are here, I don't know when else we can meet outside the manor." Then he ended it with a friendly smile. If Macaine had any loathing for how he invited her, the woman did not show it much. The woman already knew that even if Kiara wanted to, she wouldn't be able to accept the man's offer anyway. Macaine was more like irritated at how he asked her to lunch like he would have done with his date. It bothered her because of the number of men who seemed to treat her as if she were a lady today. First Jake, then him.But Angeline was different—she had no desire to hide the displeasure that had already caused her face to burn crimson red. Since the first time he turned down Angeline's plea to murder the omega, she has known that her brother has fee
The word instantly stopped her heart, and she became paralyzed with fear. When the man's thumb crept up her neck, she felt her body shiver. He didn't press too firmly, but just enough that she could feel it against her veins. "When Angeline said Dave had made you one of his properties, I thought she was just lying. She's not usually made it sound easy in this sort of thing, and anyway, what is it about you that means so much to him that he would share the attention that usually belongs to my sister."Kiara swallowed hard. The way the man looked at her gave her goosebumps all over her body. Bright green eyes, lit up in the darkness, like those of a predator enjoying the terrified look of its prey. as if it amused him more than when to devour her, consume her fear a little at a time.She did the thing that would most likely make whatever Lucifer was feeling now subside. Finally, she knew a little bit about what he wanted,"Forgive me," she said quickly, "forgive me, sir." Her words we
Lucifer managed to dodge her claw, but it made him jerk back and land on the hard ground. The dagger in his hand slipped out, The man rose to his feet instantly. He brought his fingers to his face as he felt the wetness on his cheeks and jaw. And red blood stained his palm, "shit."In front of him, a few steps away, the wolf was already standing upright, her gaze was fixed on him, and a very low growl could be heard from him. The man convinced himself that he shouldn't have any fear or anything, but still he gulped. He had often faced off against other wolves and been involved in countless brutal fights. and he had defeated many of his enemies. But what was standing in front of him now was something completely different and new to him. He didn't yet know her strengths or weaknesses. He swallowed while trying to guess her next move. The silver wolf actually did not look feral or threatening. Instead, she looked completely sweet, and he now knew that it was all a mask.She was not
Kiara woke up not long after Dave laid her down on his bed. Back from the forest, he took her to his room instead of her own room at the back of the manor. Gwenna had already examined her and said that there were no serious injuries, such as internal bleeding, as Dave had feared, which meant he needed to find out more about the blood trail in the forest. The doctor had gone out of the bedroom, and now it was the maid's turn to clean her skin with a cloth that had been dipped in warm water in a basin. The maid had also put on a warm nightgown,Kiara gasped as the water dripped on her skin, it felt good on her cold skin, but she didn't remember taking a hot bath before going to bed. She was surprised, half-awoke, and opened her eyes to find the maid, who also seemed surprised to see her awake,The middle-aged woman had a motherly smile, and she didn't resist as Kiara reflexively pulled her leg. a reflex movement because she wasn't used to having someone rub her feet,The girl slowly go
"Are you full?"The man asked, and Kiara pulled herself away from the comfort he offered. She scanned his face to see if the question was a trap. Yes, she was already very full, so she nodded slowly. Dave put down the spoon and pushed the tray onto the nightstand. "You won't be working today. Take a bath and do whatever you want, but don't leave the manor." She swallowed. He didn't react as she feared? He should have also heard that Luna Angeline's brother had been missing since yesterday. And she had said that Lucifer Esemond was with her before he disappeared. But Dave didn't seem the least bit angry.The silence he gave as soon as she mentioned Lucifer's name was tense. but only to that extent. She felt herself melting with relief right now. "Mr. Esemond is missing," she added, just in case he missed the point she meant. "He will be found," he replied firmly, his voice full of confidence. Kiara could tell he wanted her to believe that too. "What did he do to you?" He finally
For a few moments, Kiara let the woman pull her body into a tight embrace as she cried. Her warmth enveloped her body, giving her a sense of comfort like a hug given by a mother. full of love. Although she had never felt it herself to be able to say so, "Are you ok?" She finally whispered to Rosemary, and the woman released her and seemed to wipe the tears from both cheeks. Her shoulders were still rising and falling with the sobbing,"Oh- I'm so sorry. I'm...I'm so unprofessional," the woman wiped away the tears and forced an apologetic smile, from her voice, she sounded so guilty. "I shouldn't be like this...I just couldn't prevent this- I don't know why I did it myself-""It's okay, Mrs. Rosemary, you didn't do anything wrong by crying, sometimes we couldn't prevent it" Kiara stroked the woman's shoulder and gave her her warmest smile. Seeing the woman cry made her sad, though it also made her wonder about various possibilities.What made her cry so much? Was Silvera's condition s
Kiara took a quick shower, and Giselle helped her get ready. The girl chose a dress with a light and soft material, knowing today would be a tough one. She felt her steps heavy as she had to leave her room, Giselle led her patiently, "Come on, miss, you have nothing to fear, believe me" The maid smiled reassuringly, and finally Kiara let Giselle take her.Downstairs, in the main hall, the most central place in Malion Manor where important events were usually held, everyone had gathered. She stepped forward and stood nervously as she caught Luna Angeline's gaze, she averted her face instantly. The girl stopped a few steps away from Lucifer, who was being held back by Daniel and a Gamma. Although Lucifer didn't seem like he was going to resist, they cuffed his wrists with iron cuffs. The man was also tightly guarded from all sides. She gulped, looking at the bandage wrapped around his neck. Under the man's T-shirt, there was a bandage on the skin from his left shoulder down. The scra
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
