Moonlight Deception: A Tale Of Ties. Chapter 8 -The Search II
Vincent's POV "Wait!" I yell at Roman even before he can order his boys to move into my house. Roman raises a brow at me and gestures me to go ahead."You have a right to speak Vincent? What is the problem? Have anything to confess?" Roman throws questions at me. Why does he suddenly suspect me? Is it just because of the trailing footsteps that leads to my house or is there something more than that? Maybe Kaid might have told him something about me in the past to warrant such suspicion.Anyways, I really hope I have been able to buy Akira enough time to secretly leave my house. The both of us would be in serious trouble if we get caught by Roman."I just want to tell you that I am not forgetting this disrespect and you owe me an apology if you do not find her in my house." I say with a stern look. Roman chuckles at me and nods his head."I agree but if I do find her, you do not owe me an apology. You owe your dead brother one instead." Roman says, he orders the boys to barge into my

Akira's POV After an hour of hiding in a wrecked shack besides the river. Idecide to return back to Vincent's house but before doing that I make sure the coast is clear. The van from earlier is no longer parked there. I release a heavy sigh of relief as I reach the frontdoor.I deliver a small knock on the door and I hear Vincent rushing to open the door for me. The door eventually opens wide and Vincent hastily gestures me inside."That was close." He mutters to himself."What was Roman doing here? What did he say? Are they still conducting some kind of investigation?" I throw questions at Vincent. He sighs and gestures me to sit on the couch. I obey him and settle down on soft foam with Vincent besides me."So tell me? What did Roman say?" I ask with wide eyes. "Calm down Akira. He thinks you did it because Kaid was unable to save you from jail time. I heard about the crime you committed and how you went to prison for it." Vincent says. Crime I committed? I did my best to hold mys
Last Updated : 2025-01-22Moonlight Deception: A Tale Of Ties. Chapter 10 - Innocence
Akira's POV I hastily let go off Vincent's wrist and stagger backward in shock at what just happened. Why did I feel that kind of connection and energy around him? To begin with, who is Vincent? Do I have to tell him my secrets before he tells me who he really is? "What is wrong? Are you okay? You look like you just saw a ghost." Vincent stares at me with a look of concern plastered on his face. Wait, the Moon Goddess sent Vincent to protect me? He wants to prove my innocence even if it costs him to get into trouble? Then, I suddenly feel this connection?I place two and two together before saying "Mate." My voice is lowbut my wolf howls loudly."You figured." Vincent points out with a small shrug. Oh so the Moon Goddess had already revealed it to him that he is my mate. Why did he keep it from me then? Did he plan to reject me? Why is all of this even happening? Having a new mate when my husband just died."How is that possible? Kaid was my mate. How can I suddenly have a new mate

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
Last Updated : 2025-01-22Moonlight Deception: A Tale Of Ties. Chapter 13 - Freedom
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

Moonlight Deception: A Tale Of Ties. Chapter 37 - Gratitude
Vincent's POV "Do you think it is a good idea to see her husband instead? I mean it feels kind of disrespectful in a way that we are reporting her to her husband. Do you not think so?" Akira mutters from behind. I scoff and shoot dagger glares at Akira, that is enough to silence her."Easy for you to say. She should have thought about it before throwing trash all over me. I mean look at the way everyone keeps glaring at me as if I have shit on my face!" I yell angrily. Akira raises her hand in mock surrender and takes a few steps backward. She has a disgusted look on her face just like how everyone else gaze at me, with irritation and disgust."Excuse me Sir." I hear someone yell from behind. I turn around to gaze at an old fragile man clutching a walking stick tight. Who is he? I raise a brow at him and gesture him to start speaking before i lose my patience, Akira on the other hand just bows her head at him respectfully."The customers here are not pleased by the stench. Perhaps yo
Moonlight Deception: A Tale Of Ties. Chapter 36 - Bigger Problems
Vincent's POV I continue to rant but I notice that Akira's attention is no longer on me but on a certain woman serving drinks in the bar. I clear my throat and that is enough to startle Akira and jolt her back to reality. She stares at me and mumbles. "Look at that lady Vincent." She gulps a lump down her throat and points at the woman."What about her?" I ask with a raised brow. I am slightly irritated at Akira's pathetic attempt to change the topic. I know she does not want to talk about our feelings but why is she trying to cause a diversion by pointing at some random woman? Does she think I am that stupid to fall fir her dumb tricks?"Do you recognize her?" Akira whispers softly while staring at the woman. I scoff and throw my hands in the hair. "This is so unbelievable." I snap at her. Surprisingly Akira nods her head in agreement and flashes me a mischievous smirk. "I know right. Who would have thought that I would meet her here?" She chokes out a small laughter.I can not help
Moonlight Deception: A Tale Of Ties. Chapter 35 - Feelings
Akira's POV I suddenly feel tears roll down my cheeks. I bite my lower lip to stop myself from breaking down into sobs. Some people passing by gaze at Vincent and I while making whispering noises while others probably recognize me as the woman who killed her husband. I can feel eyes boring into my soul and it makes me feel a sense of emptiness. I thought Vincent had my back but knowing that I am just some sort of investment to him makes my heart break, I am nothing to him and that means I am alone. I always have and i always will be.I choke out a small cry at the reality of my miserable life. How come I never noticed? "Oh my goodness. Now, you are crying." Vincent mutters. He runs a hand through his hair and takes a few steps towards me. I catch him gaze at me with a look of concern. Or maybe those are just my imaginations? Vincent does not care about me. If he did then he would not have called me an investment."Why are you being so emotional today, Akira?" He asks, his voice is s
Moonlight Deception: A Tale Of Ties. Chapter 34 - Mate Bond
Akira's POV My question remains hanging in the air. I am too afraid to walk out of the corner and ask Vincent. I am ashamed as well because Kaid used to be my husband yet he never mentioned anything about his past to me, worse of it all is that I was too stupid to never even ask. He must have thought that I never cared and that was most likely why he never mentioned it.I feel guilt wash over me. I wish I could go back in time and ask Kaid, I wish I acted like I cared more about his past. All those things could have been eating him up on the inside, for the first time since Kaid's death, it actually pops into my mind that Kaid might have committed suicide.I mean as I dig deeper into this case, I slowly realize that Kaid never actually lived a happy life. He was haunted by his pasts and he never actually forgave Vincent which means he was still holding onto a grudge. Could that have been what pushed him to kill himself? Maybe he had already poisoned himself and thereafter, I accident
Moonlight Deception: A Tale Of Ties. Chapter 33 - Right The Wrong
Akira's POVVincent thinks I left him but I am only hiding behind the corners, trying to shake off the fear I feel as I watch Elara point the camera in Vincent's face. My heart races extremely fast at Vincent's sudden outburst, how did he just lose control all of a sudden? I feel worry for him, I can not help but gaze at him with pity even though he clearly warned me to stay clear.Something is going on with him and yet again he is hiding it from me. Maybe the both of us do not make that much of a good team after all."I am going to find Kaid's killer and help Akira prove her innocence." I hear Vincent say in such a confident tone. I actually feel reassured by his words, I do all the time. Something about the way he confudently makes his statements always has me believing in him, even in the darkest times. Either that or it could just be the stupid mate bond I happen to share with him.What was the Moon goddess even thinking when she made me Vincent's mate? I mean, it is clearly an ab
Moonlight Deception: A Tale Of Ties. Chapter 32 - Pick A Side.
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
