Moonlight Deception: A Tale Of Ties. Chapter 11 - Shock
Akira's POV I turn around to gaze at my sister, Elara. The first thing I do is to hastily adjust the hoodie covering my face. Tears well up in my eyes and I clench fist in anger at the sight of Elara. I suddenly feel angry at her. My sister's betrayal is something i can not still comprehend, how could she go behind my back to cheat with my husband, worse of it all is that she felt no remorse and wants to still tag me as the bad guy."I asked a question." Elara fires at me. She rushes towards me and tries to pull my hoodie off but I hastily dodge her. "Stay away." I feign a deep voice.Elara furrows her brows in confusion. "Akira? Is that you?" She asks in a soft tone. Vincent's warning suddenly replays in my head. I gulp a lump down my throat and stagger backward in shock how didshe know it was me?"Akira? Is that really you?" Elara repeats. She takes a step closer and this time I do not move backward. I want to confront her. I want to ask her why she did all of that to me. How could

Akira's POV What is Elara reading? What content is on the paper that has gotten her this shocked. To my uttermost surprise, Elara rips the paper into pieces and scoffs loudly. What is going on? She does not look happy at all. I hate being left in the loop hole of all of this. "Good thing that the werewolf committe gave me two copies." Vincent suddenly brings out another paper from his back pocket. "Never. You think Roman is going to let this happen?" Elara yells with a huge scowl on her face. Vincent shrugs and replies "I do not think he has a much of a choice in this. The werewolf committe approved of this so who are you to protest?" Vincent yells back at her.Elara staggers backward, she shakes her head in disapproval and spits bitterly at Vincent."Kaid would never be happy with you for this. How could suddenly want to claim the pack after his deathwhen you were never there for him? He suffered to make this pack what it is today and you think you can suddenly snatch that after hi

Vincent's POV I can not believe Kaid would actually cheat on his own wife. How could he do such a horrible thing to a woman he claimed to love? Worse of it all was that he went as far as doing it with his wife's sister. I shudder at the thought of it and I feel a pang of disappointment hit me.The Kaid I used to know would never betray anyone, but the realtruth is what kind of man is Kaid? I thought I knew my own brother but turns out I am just discovering new things about him everyday.I pause to sigh in frustration. "I am really sorry you had to go through any of that Akira." I say in a low tone. My apology will not do much but at least it will ease the guilt I feel deep down inside of me. Although now it leaves me to wonder whether Akira killed Kaid or not. Even though Kaid's actions were despicable, it does not mean he deserved to die."You are probably wondering if I killed your brother or not." Akira says, I catch a drop of tear fall down her cheeks but she hastily wipes it off

Vincent's POV Spending the night here in Kaid's room makes me feel extremely awkward. I roll around the king-sized bed, trying to look for a comfortable position to fall asleep but honestly I am not comfortable at all. I do not know if it is because this is the same room Kaid died or if it is the guilt I feel eating me up.Akira's sister, Elara was right. I do not have the right to claim anything that belongs to Kaid. I was never there for my brother. I left him even at his lowest and i am guessing that is how he grew up to become a man I had never imagined him to become. A selfish cheating bastard. I grit my teeth in anger and snap my eyes open. My eyes settle on the white ceiling but my mind remains on Kaid. I need to look around the room because I have a feeling that Elara will continue to fight with the werewolf committe until they revoke the authority I have over the Red Moon pack.This is why I need to act fast, if there is anything about Kaid that can help me trace the killer
Last Updated : 2025-01-22Moonlight Deception: A Tale Of Ties. Chapter Fifteen - Brainwash
Vincent's POV My heart races extremely fast as Roman keeps me in suspense. An awkward silence befalls us and I watch him rub the back of his neck. I furrow my brows in confusion. "Why did you stop by my house if you knew I would be at the Red Moon pack house?" I ask.Roman shrugs in reply. "I guess I just found it hard to believe that you actually had the guts to stay here for the night. How did you sleep so well knowing your brother died in this room?" Does that mean he did not see Akira? Judging from the way he sounds, I do not think he saw Akira at all. If he did then he would be asking questions by now, unless he is trying to keep it a secret."Answer my question Vincent!" Roman's harsh tone startles me, it jolts me out of my thoughts and back to reality. "Oh sorry about that. I guess you do not still understand me by now. I am not here to claim my brother's possession. I never have and i never will. Once I catch the killer, I will move but for now I think it is best I stay beca
Last Updated : 2025-01-22Moonlight Deception: A Tale Of Ties. Chapter 16 - A Big Fight
Vincent's POV I watch Roman back off. His face softens and he acts like he did not just say something intriguing right now. What did he mean about me listening to Akira? Did he by any chance meet Akira at the house? I need to visit her very soon to find out what really happened."How come you had Kaid's killer in your hands and she has suddenly escaped? Someone amongst the guards must have willingly let her out." Roman says stroking his chin with a calculative look plastered on his face.I sigh heavily. He either seems to still be in the dark or he is just pretending to. One of those two options. Before I can reply, Elara steps foot into the pack house with a huge scowl plastered on her face. I guess she knows Akira has escaped, news must really fly by fast around here."You had one little task and that was to keep the murderer in place!" Elara yells angrily. I take a small step backward at her sudden outburst. An irritated look appears on my face as I watch her rant in annoyance. "I
Last Updated : 2025-01-22Moonlight Deception: A Tale Of Ties. Chapter 17 - Reject Me
Akira's POV I walk around the house searching for any sign of maybe a picture between Kaid and Vincent. I just realized that while I was married to Kaid, he never for once mentioned anything about having a brother, not that I remember. He always treated Roman like his brother instead.I can tell that Vincent feels guilty about Kaid's death just the same way I do. Vincent's guilt might be because he was never there for Kaid. He was not present in Kaid's life so he knows nothing about his brother. I am starting to wonder why though, why did he stay away from his own blood brother? Did they ever get into a fight?I only tell Vincent things, he never tells me in return and it always makes me wonder if Vincent is just a private person or he does not trust me yet. Well, what do I expect? All the stories I have told him about Kaid keeps pointing back to me. It keeps tagging me as the killer, I am doubting my own self too.Roman had stopped by at Vincent's house earlier, I was tempted to ope
Last Updated : 2025-01-22Moonlight Deception: A Tale Of Ties. Chapter 18 - Wants And Needs
Akira's POV I gaze at Vincent, expecting a reaction from him. I impatiently wait for him to agree to my words. I hate how he has left me in suspense. I gulp a lump down my throat and slowly watch Vincent shake his head in disagreement. I furrow my brows in confusion. Why is he disagreeing?"No." Vincent blurts out. I scoff and shake my head at him in disbelief. "No? Really no?" I raise a brow at him.Vincent releases a heavy sigh and repeats himself in more clearer words. "I said no Akira. My answer remains no. How do you expect me to reject you? That means you are asking me to disobey the instructions of the Moon goddess and that is one thing I will never do." Vincent says so confidently.I can not help but feel anger burn in me. Does he think any of this is a joke? I am already beating myself up for Kaid's death everyday and night, yet somehow he wants me to accept the mate bond we share? How biased and unfair would that sound to Kaid?"That is not disobeying the moon goddess, that

Vincent's POV Do I deserve to be happy? After everything I have done? After everything I have been through?"Vincent, are you okay?" Akira's soft voice jolts me out of my thoughts and back to reality. I shoot dagger glares at her and push her far away from me. "Stay away." I sneer as I feel tears prick from the corner of my eyes.I hear Akira sigh in frustration but I ignore her and take multiple steps towards Roman. "You are a bastard and a liar! I know everything! I know you had a hand in Kaid's death! I do not know if it is because of the jealousy you always felt towards him or if it was because of your unrequited love towards Akira?" I blurt out. I actually regret saying my last statement because I know that the last thing I should be doing is involving her into any of this. I hear her scoff at me and before I can say anything, Akira runs away from me. "Unrequited love? Did that bitch tell you that I ever had feelings her? I do not know what has gotten into you Vincent or why y
Moonlight Deception: A Tale Of Ties. Chapter 31 - Doubting Happiness
Vincent's POV I felt anger course through my veins as I watched Roman yell at Akira. I clenched my fist tight and gritted my teeth in anger as I noticed how Akira's face fell, her hands were shaky and as a matter of fact, her whole body trembled. I felt pity for her. She was already going through so much and now Roman was making it worse by making her feel severely guilty."Stop." I heard Akira beg in a shaky tone. I sighed heavily, as Roman continued to yell at Akira, I could slowly watch her break into pieces. She took a few steps backward and accidentally bumped into me.Akira's face softens, I hear her mutter something like. "I am not alone." I sigh heavily and push her behind me. I stand in front of Roman with a huge frown on my face. "Stop bullying her Roman. At least have some dignity. She is already feeling enough guilt. You are making things worse." I snap at him.Roman eyes me with disdain. He scoffs and shakes his head at the both of us. "So what are you guys now? A couple
Moonlight Deception: A Tale Of Ties. Chapter 30 - Not Alone
Akira's POV Vincent shrugs lightly and waves it off but the suspicious look I give him causes him to throw his hands in the air and flash the phone screen in my face. It is a call from an unknown number. "Why are you not picking it?" I ask, furrowing my brows at him in confusion, mixed with slight suspicion at the way his face becomes slightly pale by my question."It is an unknown number Akira, I do not know who is calling." Vincent retorts. I roll my eyes at him. That should be more reason why he should pick the call. It could be Elara or Roman. Unless, Vincent might know who it is but is trying to cover it up in front of me. I eye him suspiciously and snap at him "How else are you going to know who is calling if you do not answer the call.""Come on Akira. More like those are a lot of reasons why I should not answer the call. It could be a prank call." Vincent trails off. I scoff and choke out a bitter laughter. Is he kidding me right now? Prank call? Who would want to prank him w
Moonlight Deception: A Tale Of Ties. Chapter 29 - What Are We?
Akira's POV I slowly flutter my eyes open and they come in contact with a very peaceful version of Vincent. His eyes are shut close and i can help but admire how beautiful he looks when sleeping. His eyelashes are soft and long. I fight back the urge to caress his face. I gulp a lump down my throat as I clutch the bedsheets tight. What have I done though? Did I just have sex with my late husband's brother? I feel guilt wash over me and I release a sigh of frustration. My feelings are confusing me by the day. The more I draw closer to Vincent, the more I feel excited by his presence. I know I am doing the wrong thing, i know I should stop but I keep doing that.Is Kaid seeing us? How disappointed is he in me? I killed him and now I am having sex with his brother? I am such a horrible person!"Good morning." A familiar deep voice jolts me out of my thoughts and back to reality. I snap my eyes open and they come in contact with a beautiful pair of grey eyes. My heart races extremely fa
Moonlight Deception: A Tale Of Ties. Chapter 28 - Butterflies
Akira's POV I cross my legs on the plush couch and a frown grows on my face as my eyes settle on the wall clock. Vincent has been gone for surprisingly a very long time. It has been approximately six hours since he left, is he not going to return back home? Maybe I was too harsh on him? He is only doing all of this in my favour. I think I might have gone too extra by searching through his stuffs. I should just trust him the same way he trusts him. Screw all of this Akira!Should I just apologize to him when he returns home? That is if he even returns back home or should I make him so pancakes? He loves those. I facepalm and wave off such thoughts. Why am I acting like Vincent is my husband? I would not even call us friend, we are just two people sharing the same goal.Suddenly, a loud bang on the door startles me, interrupting my thoughts. I hastily scurry towards the direction of the door. I peep through the door hole and i see it is Vincent, he looks tired. I breathe a heavy sigh
Moonlight Deception: A Tale Of Ties. Chapter 27 - Change Of Plan
Vincent's POV Judgement time. My heart races extremely fast as I watch the Alphas lean closer to each other and make whispering noises, while contemplating on what judgement to pass on. I pause to sneak a glance at Elara and she has the same nervous look as I do.I sigh heavily and run a hand through my hair as I gaze at her. She notices my gaze and rolls her eyes at me. Weirdly, the Alphas are taking too long to drop their judgement. Their conversation almost escapates into an argument.Alpha Thomas eventually clears his throat and turns to I and Elara. Apparently, Alpha Thomas is the spokesman of the Werewolf committe. "Alright then. I and the Alphas have come to a conclusion. I hope you both take our opinion very well and work on it." He snaps at us.I nod my head in agreement and so does Elara. This time Alpha Robert is the one to speak. "The truth is that, this young man here dropped a very crucial point when he said Akira may not be the killer. It is always nice to keep an open
Moonlight Deception: A Tale Of Ties. Chapter 26 - Judgement
Vincent's POV I sigh.heavily, unsure of what I am bracing myself for. I step into the large compound full of right security. Several wolves hang around, their claws and fangs out, ready to devour any intruder.One or the guards point to a small door on the left. I push the door open and step into the small room. Three thrones are arranged vertically, the three most powerful Alphas sit comfortably on the throne. They are the werewolf committe, the ones behind the welfare of the town."We have already attended to you. What more do you want?" The Alpha in the middle throne, the one who I recognize to be Alpha Thomas speaks in an impatient tone. His eyes are darted towards Elara's direction."Alpha Thomas, I am here with him." She pauses to point at me."He is here to plea for Akira's inno...."I interrupt Elara with a loud cough. "Allow me do the talking." I snap at her. She scoffs in response but surprisingly keeps quiet and allows me to do the talking."Greetings to you great Alphas of
Moonlight Deception: A Tale Of Ties. Chapter 25 - Persistence
Vincent's POV I place my hand on my waist as I impatiently wait for the guard to return. I have been standing outside for a long while and the guard has not returned with a response from the werewolf committe. What is taking so long?As if the Moon goddess hears my prayers, I hear creaking noise of the gate open which causes to me raise my head up and gaze the culprit. I expect it to be the guard but to my uttermost surprise, it is Elara. She has a frown on her face but once she notices my presence, a mischievous smirk settles on her face as she slowly approaches me.What is she doing here though? I furrow my brows in confusion as she halts in her steps right in front me. I do not get what Elara has planned in her mind but I know for sure that she is up to no good."Well well well, we meet again, Kaid's brother.." Elara pauses to suck in her teeth and eye me suspiciously. "To be honest you do not look so well like the last time. Anything bothering you?" She raises a brow at me, her t
Moonlight Deception: A Tale Of Ties. Chapter 24 - Freedom
Vincent's POV"What are you talking about?" Akira asks. Her face changes into one of confusion. Honestly, I do not know what I am talking about as well. Is it really possible to prove Akira not guilty? I would have to gather enough evidence to prove to the werewolf committe that she can wander the streets freely.I mutter a cuss under my breath and mentally scold myself for making such a huge promise. To grant her freedom? Vincent, you are fucking stupid. I rub my forehead and sigh heavily. My eyes settle back on Akira's confused face."What did you just say? I asked you a question." She raises her voice at me. Anyways, there is no going back on my word. I promised to grant her freedom and i will do whatever it takes to make that possible."I know how you badly want to leave this place. You hate it here with me. That is why you turned down the mate bo...." Akira does not let me finish my sentence, she scoffs loudly and curses under her breath."You have got to be kidding me. How does
