"So Sam is your mate?" Kiara assisted Gwenna in making breakfast. Sam took his piece and left the table right away to go to the backyard, so they would have breakfast alone today. As soon as he left, Kiara felt a little guilty. She knew that Sam realized she was a little scared by the man's unusual collection yesterday. His hobby was quite foreign to her. She felt bad for him that he would leave like that. She tried to tell Gwenna to ask her husband to join them. But she didn't know how to say that at first, "It's okay, really. He usually skips breakfast. We only eat together at dinner," Gwenna said, arranging the bowl for them. This morning, they cooked a variety of delicious preparations. There was everything from soup to beef jerky already served on the dining table. "Sit down." Kiara pulled out a chair and took a seat in front of Gwenna. She scooped the soup into her bowl and started to put each spoon into her mouth. "Well, I haven't told you anything about my mate, I
The tailor's home was a simple wooden structure surrounded by a flower garden and a little wooden fence. When they entered, the space appeared to be one big closet. Rolls of cloth in a variety of colors and materials were displayed on the walls as shelves. There were dozens of lined-up mannequins, some of whom were dressed in finished garments for sewing. Most of them were apparel for women and children. basic outfits to heavy, expensive ball gowns. Gowns could be simple and plain or embellished with crystals that looked like frozen teardrops. A middle-aged, small woman came out of the door that connected the back room with this space. The woman, who Kiara was sure was a seamstress, recognized Gwenna and immediately approached her. "My dear Gwenna, you came to pick up your dress?" It's already finished, but I'm just lacking the final touches. I'll just confirm if you're fine with the whole thing since Sam was the one who chose everything from the model to the embellishments." "
She moved deftly and agilely, and Kiara didn't notice until she was already standing right in front of her body. Clawed fingers, firmly grasping one of Kiara's wrists, pulled it forward till she cried out in agony. She made several attempts to get Selene's hand off her wrist. The girl with the blue strands was considerably stronger despite having a slender frame. As she drew Kiara's body nearer without much struggling, Kiara stumbled. It appeared as though Selene was unaware of her terrified and emaciated appearance. in no way resembled the quartz Iris Kiara had previously seen. It was something no one should have had. No werewolf ought to possess such eyes.It is impassive as stone. Whatever was in front of it had no effect on it.At first, she thought Selene was just being ignorant of her protest.Her gaze was directly ahead. no longer pulled her but did not release her grip. Kiara could feel the pain where Selene's sharp nails were digging in her flesh,"Who.. are you?!" Selene d
Kiara came out of the bathroom and saw breakfast was already on the table beside the window, the spot she usually chooses to eat her food. Giselle, who had just delivered it along with a glass of milk, was about to leave and walk out of her room when she hurriedly ran to her, "Giselle, wait!" The maid stopped a few steps from the doorway, turned around to face her, but kept her eyes on the floor. "Is there anything else you need, miss? If not, allow me to leave.""Why..." Kiara cleared her throat, she didn't understand what she was trying to say. Everything seemed to have changed, she usually stays to eat with her before returning to her work. "Sit with me and let's eat together.""Sorry miss. But this is Alpha Dave's order, I can only do my work and am not allowed to talk to you. I'm sorry." Giselle's voice trembled, and she hurriedly turned and walked out of the room. Kiara felt her tears start welling in her eyes. She ran to the door, and just like in the past three days, ever
She opened her eyes and blinked for a while. slowly took a sitting position when she saw his face and moved a little bit away from him after smoothing down her hair and her clothing. hands encircling her own body as a sign that she felt cold. "Eat this. Finish it all." Dave took the tray and set it next to her. She simply took a long, hard look at the meal before turning to face him. There was something unfamiliar in her eyes this time, "I'll finish it," she said.He drew a frown for a moment. Of course she would finish it, he had said so and would make sure of it. And she had to for the sake of the baby's health. Dave waited for her to take the spoon, and just then he realized that she was waiting for him to come out of the room and let her eat the dinner alone. "You will eat it before my eyes, Kiara. I won't leave until you finish it."Her lips twitched briefly as she appeared to be a little irritated. But finally, she grabbed the spoon and began to slowly eat.Dave sat with his
The following night, Kiara got ready as he told her. She wore the ivory white knee-length dress that had been delivered, and with the help of two maids, her hair was styled in a half bun with the rest curled and left to fall down her back. When she was done, Giselle led her out. Outside the manor, a sleek, black Audi was sitting at the end of the driveway. Alpha Dave was already waiting for her, dressed in an all black suit that fitted perfectly to his well-built body. She walked nervously towards him, and he took her by the arm and guided her down after opening the passenger's door for her, handing her in, and buckling her seat belt. They drove into downtown Guivor, weaving between elite classy districts in a way that made her gut churn and her head hurt. "No. I'm not what Selene said," was the answer she gave yesterday. A bitter taste still lingered in her throat as she said those words.He turned into the intersection of a luxurious downtown building a few blocks away from sever
Following the music, Raphael took Angeline's hand and kissed the back of her palm. Then he led her to the center of the room, and Angeline soon settled into the rhythm. As they danced, more and more people joined in. A few male vampires ask the Malion women to dance.Dave looked around the space. The music was playing, and the few people who were dancing helped to lighten the tense atmosphere. But he wouldn't let his guard down. For tonight, he needed to be more cautious. There are many possibilities for the trap Raphael set when he agreed to bring Kiara here.Selene simply remained motionless in the room's corner. She must have been aware of what was going on as well. When Dave made the choice to accept Raphael Gaultiero's unwanted daughter in his pack, he gave it much thought that she might have served as his father's tool. After all, he was her father. If only Dave could reject the hybrid. But, could he? Her mother was a werewolf, which he knew. His own kind. He was too focused o
He licked the skin on her neck before sinking his sharp fangs in there. The vampires had held back the werewolves, the pack members, and the entire Malion family, who were rebelling. Raphael's men, however, came in greater numbers from the door. The vampires stopped the werewolf, who fought back and took hold of them in a short time. including the Malion women. "Get your hands off me you asshole!" Angeline cried out as a male vampire held her down. The pain in her neck stings her. like it was piercing her entire body. not giving Kiara a chance to adjust to the sudden pain as Raphael sucked her blood. The girl whimpered. "W...what are you doing?" The vampire's grip was strong, but she fought back with all her might. She almost broke free, just barely, before He got her back. That made her slump halfway to the floor. Raphael held her in an uncomfortable position. He made her raise her her head until her neck was exposed, making it easier for him to sink his fangs into her smooth ski
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
