View MoreAkira's POV Vincent successfully saves me from getting captured by Elara and the guards from the Red Moon pack.He takes me to his home, a small bungalow on the outskirts of town. The place is comfy.He offers me food and allows me to clean up. Vincent gives me a new set of clothes. Although I can tell that the clothes belong to him because of how large they look on me.I feel refreshed but Elara's words still replay in my head. The one about Kaid's soul rest in peace.“How do you feel?” Vincent's deep voice startles me from my thoughts and jolts me back to reality. I look up to gaze at him and watch him settle down on the couch beside me.I fiddle with my palms and scoot away from him. “Who are you and why are you helping me?” My voice is rough and it comes out as a mere whisper, although it is loud enough for Vincent to hear.“Why are you bothered about that? I am helping you and that is all that matters. You should be grateful for that.” Vincent says nonchalantly.I sneak a glance
Akira's POV I rub my shoulders and shudder at the cool breeze that sweeps my hair back and forth.The hairs on my skin rise in fear and the loud howling of wolves causes me to grit my teeth.I shut my eyes for a brief moment and blink back the tears that threaten to fall from my eyes. Now is not the time to cry, I have been doing that for the past three days and all it has done is weaken me physically and mentally.Kaid is dead. I killed Kaid. I deserve to die, why am I trying to survive when I took the life of an innocent? Yes, he did cheat on me but I could have controlled my anger. Why did I not do that? I could have walked out of the house the moment I saw Elara and Kaid on the bed.If only I had ignored them, none of that would have happened. Kaid would still be alive.I pull my hair and break down into sobs.My entire body feels weak, I am thirsty and my stomach hurts from hunger. I have not had anything healthy to eat for the past three days. After running away from the Red
Akira's POV “You killed him!” Elara yells. She jerks off the bed and reaches for her phone.“Ca-lm down Ela-ra, please, h-e h-e…” I stutter. My entire body trembles in fear as I stare at the horrific sight in front of me.My husband's body was covered in his blood.“I will record this and make sure it gets to the werewolf committee you bloody killer!” Elara exclaims with tears rushing down my cheeks.I crawl away from Kaid's lifeless body. I did not kill him. It was an accident.I try to wave off every depressing thought in my head. I need to get out of here, Elara is not bluffing. She will inform the Werewolf committee about this and I will be sent back to jail again.No! I shake my head in disagreement. I refuse to return to that hell hole.I rise to my feet and hold onto the wall for support. “What are you doing? Guards!” Elara yells at the top of her voice.I rush towards her, I pick up the bedside lamp and smash it on her head. Elara slumps to the floor and her eyes shut close.
Akira's POV “Elara!” I yell with tears rushing down my cheeks. My sister glares at me with a nonchalant and unbothered look on her face. She leans closer to the bedside table and pours herself a glass of wine.“Those darn guards, how dare they let you in?” Kaid sneers. He eyes me with a look of disdain.I break down into sobs. I clutch my stomach tight and allow the tears to rush down my cheeks as I realize that the real reason why Kaid never visited was not because of pack duties, it was because he had moved on with his life and I was stupid for holding onto him.“How could you?” I stutter, my entire body trembles in shock.“How could I? Come on Akira, let us be realistic here. How did you expect me to wait for you for five years? I am a Man, I have to satisfy my sexual feelings.” Kaid says in a defensive tone.I place my hand over my mouth and my eyes widen in shock at how bold he is to defend himself.“I did it for you! I did everything for you! The reason I spent five years in p

The courtroom's tense atmosphere suffocated me but I refused to back down, I could not. Here I was, taking the blame for Kaid.
