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 "Who said I did not want you?" Immediately I utter those words. I mentally scold myself for saying so. What is wrong with me and why did I act out of impulse? I notice how Akira looks taken aback by my confidene. I suddenly feel embarrassment wash over me."Goodnight." I mumble. I turn around and walk away. I push the front doors open and step out of the house, not after slamming the door behind me for dramatic effect.I feel the cool breeze pull my hair sideways, I suddenly feel comforted by the window. I settle down on the doorstep and drownmyself in my thoughts. Akira has a point, I would be betraying Kaid if I mated with his wife but at the same time, I do not want to ignore the moon goddess'command. Akira is my first mate, why should I let her go? What if I never have another mate due to my disobedience? Moreover, what is the point in protecting Akira if I can not have her in the end.Do I want her for the sake of the mate bond? Or do I really want her because I s

    Vincent's POV "Vincent, wh---" i interrupt Akira with an uneasy laughter. I clear my throat and say "Please do not say anything to hurt my feelings. It is fine, I will not be making any advances at you. We can focus on finding Kaid's killer." I say.Akira sighs heavily, I noice a look of concern flash over her face but she immediately covers it up with a smile. "Good decision, it is for the betterment of both of us." She says. I nod my head in agreement but deep down inside of me, I feel a pang of hurt hit me. "What is the plan?" Akira's eyes light up in excitement. "Right after we have breakfast? I am starting." I say pointing to my stomach.Akira chuckles and nods her head. "Fine, I will make us something delicious.""Can I have your pancakes instead?" I ask giving her puppy eyes. Akira nudges my shoulder. "Why are you acting like they are all that good?" "Are you kidding me? Your pancakes are fire!" I say, sincerely I love her pancakes and i wish I could eat them everyday. Althou

    Vincent's POV "So what exactly do you plan on doing?" Akira asks, her brows furrow at me in confusion.I clear my throat and reply with a slight shrug. "Well, I actually do not have much of a plan but I am thinking of returning to the Red Moon pack house. Just to ask a few staffs about Kaid, how he was like to them and if they noticed any slight changes in him." I say.Akira slowly nods her head, she strokes her chin and tries to process all of what I just said. After a minute of silence. She finally speaks up. "Although have you ever thought of it this way? The staffs at the Red Moon pack house would never open up. They are all probably afraid of being seen as an accomplice." She says in a questioning tone.I raise my brow at her. "So what are you trying to say?" I ask."What I am trying to say is that your plan my not be all that solid as you think. I mean, everyone pointing fingers at me are just trying to erase Kaid's case entirely. They do not want things to go too further, that

  • Moonlight Deception: A Tale Of Ties.    Chapter 22 - Privacy Invaded

    Akira's POV I sigh heavily as I stride the small living room. I had just finished watching the news and I feel extremely sad knowing that my name and picture is everywhere on the news. "Wife kills her husband after getting out of prison." Those are how the headlines are like. I know Elara is behind all of that. She is most likely the one spreading those kind of news so that everyone in town can think I killed Kaid. She is tarnishing my image, the worse part of it all is that I do not know why she is going that far.I admit that Elara and I did not share that kind of lovey dovey sisterly bond but I never imagined that Elara hated my guts that much to go as far as painting me as the killer of my husband.Even if I am the killer as she claims, Elara should have been the first person to cover up for me. She should have been the one protecting me from others.I walk back to the kitchen and try to clear up the plates I and Vincent used in eating this morning. My attention suddenly drifts

He freezes right in front of me, snatches the letter and rips it into pieces.I watch as the piece of paper fall to the floor, littering the entire room. I gaze at Vincent with wide eyes open. I can sense anger twinkling in his eyes, he clenches his fist tight and grits his teeth. Why does he look so angry? What is he even doing here in the first place? He is supposed to be out there, gathering answers."What are you doing here?" I question, my voice is low and barely above a whisper. Vincent scoffs, he shakes his head in disbelief and retorts. "Are you seriously asking me that question? Why have you not answered my own question? Who the hell do you think you are to invade my privacy?" Vincent growls angrily.I stagger backward in shock at his sudden outburst. I sigh heavily and run a hand through my hair in frustration. "I needed answers! What did you expect me to do? Sit back

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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
