Daxton-

“Are you sure this is okay?” Carter asked.

“I don’t know, but whatever she decides to do, I will support her. As far as her health is concerned, it has improved so it isn’t hurting her. If anything, I think this might be helping her.” I let out a sigh before lifting the coffee mug to my lips.

Only a few more days to go until the ceremony, where Keva planned to reveal her identity. During these last two weeks, Carter and I didn’t start worrying about her until last week. In the first week after she recovered from her injuries, it seemed as if she was slowly allowing her body to adjust, but now it was like she was possessed.

After a few days of training her body, she amplified her exercises. It reached a point where I had to have my Beta and Carter handle things with Ethan and his pack. Unless it was necessary for me to go meet with Ethan in person, I rarely left the house.

It wasn’t that I wasn’t allowed to leave, but I was afraid to. Without me around, she wouldn’t stop traini

    Keva-Today was the day, but I wasn’t sure if I was ready. After weeks of healing and retraining my body, I still wasn’t where I needed to be. I considered canceling or postponing the event, but I knew that it might mess things up if I did. Everything was in order, and my father would appear later to ensure no one could question my identity.“What’s wrong?” Maddison asked, as she was helping me get ready.“I think I am just nervous.” I answered as Maddison continued applying a light layer of make-up to my face.My features were naturally beautiful, so I didn’t need to wear makeup, but I had dark circles under my eyes and my cheeks were still slightly hallow. So other than a light contour, a few highlights and a bit of lip gloss, I didn’t need anything else. The makeup did nothing more than enhance my natural beauty and masked the flaws that still lingered from two years of neglect.“About facing Ethan again?” Maddison pulled back her hand and stepped back to admire her work. “I don’t

    Keva-“I’m not a fake!” Natalie shouted. “I am the real Princess. Just ask my brother!”“I only have one sister but you aren’t her.” Carter scoffed as he moved to stand beside me, draping an arm over my shoulders. “Keva is my only sister and no one can take her place.”“I don’t believe you.” Ethan staggered back as a look of disbelief crossed his face. “If she is your sister, then why did you torture her for three days until she ended up in a coma?”“It was all an act. How else was I going to get you and Natalie to let down your guard? From the moment I returned to the pack, everything has been an act. I have been waiting for this day, so that I could show you that I can take away everything I have given you.” I crossed my arms over my chest and my brows slanted as I focused on Ethan.“Tell me they are lying.” Ethan turned on Natalie, taking her arms and forcing her to face him.I thought Natalie was going to argue that I was lying, but it didn’t seem as if she could come up with anyt

    Daxton-Don’t agree. Don’t agree I repeated those words in my head as I held my breath. I didn’t think she would agree to Ethan, but as she looked around, doubt clouded my mind. For as long as I have known Keva, she has always been the kindest and most forgiving person.I remember a time when she had a friend in her younger years that had pushed her into a lake and she nearly died by drowning. Instead of holding it against her friend, Keva had forgiven her. They were no longer friends, but that was because the friend had moved away. If she had stayed, I had a feeling Keva would have continued being her friend.“Are you sure you want me to become Alpha and for you to become an Omega again?” Keva asked and it felt as if my heart fell to my stomach.“I mean it! After everything you have done to sacrifice for me, I should learn to sacrifice for you. If that means I need to give up everything to prove myself worthy of you, I am willing.” Ethan inched forward, but this time the swords at hi

    Keva-Touching my fingers to my lips, I smiled as I could still feel the way Daxton’s mouth felt against mine. This wasn’t my first kiss, but kissing Daxton was far different from kissing Ethan. At first Daxton’s kiss had been painful, but that was because when he crushed his mouth against mine, he accidentally bit my lip.After the initial pain subsided, his kiss had still been rough, but it was pleasurable. Kissing Ethan had been similar to kissing a fish. It had been sloppy and didn’t give me any pleasure. I always thought that it was normal, but after kissing Daxton, there was a major difference.When I resisted Daxton’s kiss at first, it hadn’t been because I thought of him as a brother. In fact, I have long stopped thinking of Daxton as a brother. I also knew Daxton’s feelings were deeper than a brother-sister relationship.I wasn’t sure how I felt about Daxton, but I knew now wasn’t the time to explore those feelings. Yet, as I touched my lips, I couldn’t help but think about D

    Keva-The last thing I wanted to do was return to Stark Growlers to live. It was one thing to lead the pack, but living here was something else entirely. I also didn’t want to give Ethan more opportunities to interact with me. At least in Daxton’s territory I wouldn’t need to worry about Ethan knocking on my door.“Are you worried about Ethan?” Carter asked.“How did you know?” My eyes widened.“It isn’t hard to guess.” Carter chuckled as he reached for another drumstick. “But, you don’t need to worry about him. Now that he is an omega, he won’t be able to enter the packhouse without an invite.”Carter had a point, which made me feel a lot better. Nodding my head once, I grabbed the drumstick to continue eating. As I ate, I filled Daxton in on what Carter and I discussed before he arrived. There were many things that we needed to go over, but I wanted Daxton’s input on my idea to give Stark Growlers a clean slate.When I finished, Daxton agreed with what Carter and I discussed. Not on

    Keva-I intended to hold a pack meeting the following day, but I put it off for another two days. During those two days, I felt as if I was in over my head with the mess in the pack. I thought it would be simple to sort out everything in the office, but it was worse than I expected.To make things more difficult, it seemed that many files were missing. I wasn’t sure what was missing exactly, but there were many dead ends or inconsistencies with certain files. I thought perhaps Ethan had stolen the packs when he moved, but the person who was monitoring Ethan claimed that he only took clothes out of the packhouse.Aside from the files, I also thought it would be better to have a pack meeting after I sorted out a few more things and had an idea of what we were working with regarding the antiques in the warehouse. It took a long time to get the items appraised, even after hiring twenty more people.I hadn’t wanted to use my money or family money, but after entering the warehouse, I knew i

    Keva-When I woke the following morning, I was alone, but the bed where Daxton had been lying was still warm. With a sigh, I rolled out of bed and went to the bathroom, but not before grabbing a change of clothes. As I showered and got ready for the day, my thoughts kept moving between Daxton and my first official meeting as leader of the pack.I wasn’t nervous about the meeting, but I was curious. I believed some members were going to be upset once they learned their rank would be taken from them. I just hoped that everyone would be able to understand.After my shower was completed and I was ready for the day, I left the room and made my way to the kitchen. I was looking forward to seeing what Daxton prepared for breakfast. Since the moment I started living with him, he has ensured I ate every meal. When I entered the kitchen, I saw a few of Daxton’s pack members.“Good morning.” Jayden, Daxton’s Beta, greeted as I entered the kitchen.“Good morning.” I smiled slightly.I was a littl

    Keva-The first topic I brought up was issues with the current ranks. As expected, no one seemed happy when I announced that all pack members will lose their ranks and need to start over. When I announced everyone would have an equal opportunity to apply for a rank, the majority of the members settled. Only a few seemed upset, but when Carter and Daxton stepped forward to warn them not to act out, they settled down.Instead of allowing anyone to ask questions, I quickly moved onto the next topic, which was regarding the companies in the pack. No one interrupted me as I spoke, but a few faces in the crowd seemed displeased. After explaining that I don’t plan to shut down the businesses, their displeasure turned to intrigue.“With all of the businesses we possess, our biggest downfall is that we don’t have enough customers. Not only is the pack located off the beaten path, we don’t have any signs to bring in traffic. Instead of bringing in humans directly, I think we could start with on

    Keva-Waking up in Daxton’s arms was better than I could have imagined. Now that I have let go of the block within my heart, I wondered why I hadn’t allowed myself to experience this sooner. Although Daxton and I hadn’t done more than kiss, last night was the best night I have ever had.If Daxton hadn’t pulled back, I would have let him claim me. Instead, he had broken the kiss and wouldn’t let me continue. He admitted that he wanted to claim me more than I knew, but he didn’t want to do anything I would regret. I tried convincing him I wouldn’t regret it, but he still refused.I thought he was going to kick me out of the room and tell me he didn’t want to be with me, but he didn’t. Daxton had pulled me onto the bed and wrapped me in his arms. He then told me that he didn’t want to rush anything.No matter how much I tried to reassure him that I was ready to take things to the next level with him, he didn’t let anything happen. He simply held me, kissed the top of my head, and told me

    Keva-“What?”“When Daxton turned eighteen, he found out that you are his fated mate.”My eyes widened to the point they felt as if they were bulging out of my sockets. “What?”“It’s true.” Jayden nodded. “When he turned eighteen, he felt the bond with you. He tried to deny it at first, due to his history and age difference, but then he stopped fighting against it. He did start avoiding you, but he planned to approach you on your eighteenth birthday. When you ran off, it didn’t just break him, it shattered him. Do you know how painful it is when the one you are fated to, mates with another?”Slowly I shook my head, unable to form any words. I was too stunned and everything he was saying was beyond my current comprehension. I tried to process everything, but it was like my brain had been fried.“Let me put it to you this way…” He took a deep breath and lowered his leg while leaning forward to place his elbows on his knees. “He nearly died. He stopped eating and drinking and started dis

    Keva-After discussing it with them, they both went quiet until Daxton broke the silence. “I don’t think Lunar Eclipse is related to this. I am not saying we shouldn’t stay vigilant, but this doesn’t sound like their thing.”“I agree with Daxton. I think you might be overthinking this, sis.” Silas added.They could be right, but I wasn’t sure. I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was bound to happen. I was tempted to get a professional team together to handle the mission. If Lunar Eclipse was involved, then things wouldn’t just be dangerous, they would be deadly. I wasn’t too worried about their teams, but I had an idiot on my team.“Maybe.” I sighed.“Look, you are under a lot of pressure right now and there are a lot of variables in play. I think that for tonight, you just need to relax and try to clear your mind. Tomorrow we will have a better understanding of what we are dealing with, and we can plan accordingly.” Silas spoke.“We aren’t brushing you off, but we do think th

    Keva-“What I can’t call my daughter unless there is a problem?” My father sounded offended, but I knew he was teasing me.“Not at all. I just wanted to make sure you were okay.” I smiled as I entered my office and shut the door behind me.“Actually, I do have a reason for calling and it is a problem.”“What is it?” I asked as I sat at my desk.“I remembered you telling me that you were going to be doing a leadership test today and would be doing missions.” My father paused and I heard the shuffle of papers in the background. “I have a mission I could use your help with.”“Go on.” I encouraged him as I leaned back in my chair and gave him my full attention.“There is a scientist who is being targeted. His lab exploded a few days ago and he feels like he is being followed. I don’t know how bad his situation is. I planned to send some warriors to him, but I thought it might be better for you guys to deal with it. I mainly need you to contact the scientist, figure out his situation, elim

    Keva-The test ends, with Ethan leading everyone out. Tobias had been correct, Ethan had an excellent memory and sense of direction. They had moved through the maze without direction when locating the items for everyone, which Ethan had noted each turn.When they collected the items, they stopped and discussed their exit strategy. As if it were a puzzle he connected each path, and figured out even the areas they hadn’t ventured. Ethan deduced where the exit would likely be and took the lead. He traveled in his wolf form and while many were unsure Ethan was leading them in the right direction, Tobias had followed Ethan with confidence.The others slowly followed Tobias’s lead, which proved they were already seeing him as their leader. That alone filled me with excitement. I didn’t care that Ethan had been the one to help everyone escape. It was Tobias who had shown the true purpose of the test.At best Ethan was simply cocky and had a superior complex, which gave me an idea for the nex

    Keva-With a sigh, I settled into a chair in the control room we set up. The loyalty test was officially over and had lasted a little longer than I planned. Technically the test only took three days, but we had to wait an additional two days because one member had been injured.Everyone in charge of the testing was assigned three members, although Jayden only had two. We had a few members fail, but everyone in Daxton’s, Jayden’s, Carter’s, and my group passed. One member Silas had tested failed, but it wasn’t a member who failed is why we had to wait two more days before beginning the next test.No, Daxton decided to take things a little too far with one of his testers. The person passed, but he had caused him to be injured by torturing him after an arranged kidnapping. Up until that point I had avoided Daxton, but then I was forced to deal with him.I hadn’t been mad at Daxton due to what happened between us, but I was struggling to wrap my mind around it. After his latest stunt, how

    Daxton-After getting dressed, I attempted to stay with Keva to calm her down, but she uncovered herself and threw a pillow at me. Thinking it was better to retreat than make her even more mad, I left the room. Once I was in the hall, I was startled when I noticed Silas leaning against the wall with his arms folded over his chest.“While I am glad you and her finally got together, it isn’t going to be that simple.” Silas smirked.I didn’t need to ask what he meant. I knew exactly what happened. I shouldn’t have let things get as far as they had, but something came over me and I couldn’t hold myself back. Originally, I just planned to tease her so she would let down her guard a little more.When I caught the familiar scent of a blood pill, I took advantage of the situation. I knew she had been intoxicated by vampire blood, which was as effective as a sexual arousal drug. Because of that, I hadn’t marked her, but I had desperately wanted to.I had asked her if she was sure and if she wo

    Keva-“What are you doing?” I gasped as I took a step back from Daxton.“That is my question. What are you doing?” Daxton’s voice was low and slightly husky as he kept moving toward me with each step I took away from him.“I…” My mind was blank and I couldn’t think of a reasonable excuse.“This time you provoked me.” Daxton quickly closed the distance between us, wrapping one arm around me, while grabbing me behind the neck and pulling me toward him. “Don’t think you can run little wolf.”As his lips crashed against mine, I only had one thought running through my mind. I no longer wanted to run from him. I could deny it all I wanted, but the truth was, his touch, his taste, and his scent, made me crave him in ways I never thought possible.Now that I wasn’t holding back, it was like the floodgates of hell opened up. My hands swiftly moved to his shoulders and I gripped them tightly as I pulled myself closer to him. It felt as if my body was coming alive, even if I didn’t quite underst

    Keva-As if we had been caught doing something we shouldn’t have, Silas froze, with one foot on the first step and I tensed. Tobias didn’t seem surprised to see Silas carrying me on his back. He also didn’t say or do anything until after Silas regained his composure and continued walking up the few steps to the porch.“Put me down.” I whispered in Silas’s ear.Silas didn’t protest as he put me down, but I could sense that he was on edge as he placed himself between me and Tobias. “What are you doing here?” He asked Tobias.I was about to tell Silas he didn’t speak, but to my surprise, Tobias answered. “Two reasons.” Tobias pulled a hand from his pocket and extended his arm toward me, with a pill bottle in his hand. “To give you this and to speak to you.”“I thought you didn’t talk?” I lifted my brows and looked at the item in his hand, unsure if I should take it.“I do, but I don’t speak unless I have a reason to.” Tobias shrugged.“Makes sense.” I said as I accepted the pill bottle.
