41Aric's pov.I returned back home with worry on my mind. I didn't know what they were going to tell me today since I had received a ton of calls from my beta.I was hoping it was good news because all these calls for nothing would only make me furious.My journey to the pack house as always was full of thought, but as soon as I got to the Packhouse, I saw the men who I had sent to search for Kira. They were all standing with a serious look on their faces. There was no doubt that something was wrong, or had they found out something I didn't know about?” I sighed, running my hands through my hair. There was no doubt that something was indeed wrong. My heart was drumming loudly, but then I was sure that it wasn't anything serious.“What's the matter?” I asked with raised brows, but the men still kept quiet, which provoked me. “Alpha Aric!” My beta exclaimed Upon seeing me. He had just walked into the room, and he smiled which made me calm down. I knew that something was up.“What is i
Chapter42Aric's pov.As soon as she heard that question, she widened her eyes, but returned them back to normal, taking her time to observe me.“Why did you ask that?” Mia asked with a cheeky smile. She used her hands to play with her hair, and then she picked up a drink with the other, sipping it right before me.“Did you manage to fall in love at first sight? Was that why you came here to search for me?” Mia teased again, making me roll my eyes dramatically. If only she knew that there was only one person on my mind that was making me go crazy, then she wouldn't have said that.“Not you, but someone else,” I explained, noticing how the perfect smile on her face died down. However, she didn't hide the fact that she was interested in having me.“It doesn't matter. Here, we welcome all men. Those who are in love, and those who are yet to fall in love,” She said, making me scoff. “You can't do to me what she did,” I pressed further, making her arch her brows. Mia must have been wonderi
Mia's pov.When I heard him talk about Kira, my eyes turned dark. However, when I heard they were mates, I couldn't help, but think of it as a jackpot.my dark side immediately started planning how to use this to my benefit.She must be the reason why he was feeling so lonely, and horny. Also, the fact that he had been looking for her made everything click.the Kira I knew was definitely the one he was looking for.If Kira was indeed his mate, then she indeed had a thing for Alphas. Maybe that was why she tried to steal mine away from me.I was waiting for one more confirmation to know if she was the one. If she was indeed the one, then I wouldn't hesitate to get her out of Lucian's life for good. If I can't have Lucian, then no one will. “Mia,” Aeic called, snapping me out of my thoughts. His eyes were staring desperately into mine. There was no doubt that he was willing to get her back at all cost.the determination was all I needed, that was the weapon I would use.I knew Lucian d
Chapter44Aric's pov.On getting back home, I called a meeting with the men. My beta, Aaron was in charge of letting the search party know about the minute.In twenty minutes, everyone had already gathered in the meeting room, and with the whispers going on, I was sure they were wondering what I had to say.Clearing my throat was enough to bring silence into the room. Everyone stared at me in such a way that made me turn towards me with worry on their faces. ceased lines were present, and so was the urge to know what I had to say, I could sense it.“What is going on? Is there anything we should know?” My beta finally spoke their minds, and I watched how they all stared at me in silence, waiting for an answer.“Well, you don't have to worry because I finally know where the girl we are looking for is. We leave for the pack tonight so by tomorrow morning, we're expected to be at the pack where she is located. Make sure you all get a good rest,” I said, leaving all of them confused.They
Chapter45Lucian's pov.I was in my study, strategizing, and trying not to be distracted by Kira's scent, but it seemed like that wasn't possible.A growl escaped my lips, and I glared at the record in front of me."Focus, focus!" I yelled, running my hands through my hair, before I placed my hands on the record in the document. However, a few seconds into staring at the document, I was lost in her scent again.“You are becoming a thorn in my flesh Kira, and I'm not even joking about this,” I uttered, heaving as I forced myself to focus.There were a lot of things that needed to be done, and since I was free, I decided to check the records of things, but it seemed I was wasting time.I stared at the document until I received a mind link from the leader of my warriors, telling about what was happening.Pressing my lips together, I got really confused about what he said.“Someone is at the border?” I asked with creased lines forming on my forehead. I was angry because I didn’t expect any
Chapter46Kira's pov.I shook when I heard what he said. Did he just say he wanted me to pick if I wanted to stay here or go with him?a sigh escaped my lips as I started to consider what I was supposed to pick. Firstly, I didn't know how he managed to find me, but I didn't expect him to find me at all. I was in a far away pack, and he was standing right in front of me, telling mw to return with me.My heart skipped a beat, and I swallowed because I was nervous about what was going on.My head was heavy, and I got confused about the whole thing. My heart was about to skip a beat, and I tried my best to make sure that things went well.My heart was also heavy, and I tried my best to make sure I calmed down because everything came rushing down.“Listen Kira. I know I have done a lot of wrong, and I know you have to choose now, but I need you to consider that I'm your mate, remember?” Aric tried to convince me, moving closer each time.I inched backwards, fear crept into my mind, and I
Chapter47Kira's pov.Tears gathered in my eyes, but I stopped struggling when I heard his puzzling question.“You're shocked that I know about your identity, right?” Lucian asked, making me shake my head.I was nervous, sweating so much due to the way he pinned my neck to the wall.“Are you a spy?!” He yelled again, making me flinch, and In no time, I started to sob again because his hands pressed my neck tightly. I was used to being yelled out, but him being my mate made things worse for me. my fragile heart couldn't take his yells.“Answer the fucking question, and stop sobbing. He’s your mate, and you're here to help him take over the pack, right? Deep down you want to go with him, right?” Lucian asked, but I only bursted into tears. The way he treated me instantly made me regret staying here. I wished he wouldn't do this to me. I wished he would treat me like a normal person.I knew I made a mistake by keeping the pregnancy from him, but I was just scared about the whole thing.
Chapter48Kira's povI laid there with my eyes wide open. I was shocked at how he spoke.Words refused to leave my lips at the moment, and it took a while before my senses came pouring in. The fact that he had just called Aric his step brother made me aware of the fact that the existing tension between them could be as a result of whatever I had just found out.“How could they be step-brothers?” I thought because it seemed impossible. They didn't have any similarities, not that it mattered, but I was still unable to believe it.I bit my lowered lips, trying to understand what was going on when his bass voice echoed in my head.“Look here, Kira I'm talking to you,” Lucian uttered with his eyes staring into mine which made me gulp.sweat formed on my forehead, as I tried so hard to calm my raging heartbeat.“Y-y-your step brother?” I struggled to ask, but he remained silent, staring at me, while I uttered numerous words in disbelief.Of course there was definitely a reason for me to do
Lucian's povMy first dead wife was standing in front of me, and I didn't know what else to say."Where's Kira?" I asked, and then I saw a male figure holding her tight."She's over here...."My eyes moved towards the direction he called, and all I could do was to call out to her.She was crying, and was breathing hard. "Lucian, please help me..." She begged, and I rushed there, but he placed a knife on her throat."The main aim was to kill you, so many people didnt have to die although Mia was partly the reason we lost a lot. I have been meaning to speak to you about something. I know you're worried about a lot of things, and one of them is herz but weren't you wise enough to get the picture that we were playing you all along. First my sister's then my mate. All to end your life!" At that moment, I turned to Penelope, and I saw her shedding tears. It was obvious she still had feelings for me, because I felt our love was very strong."A lycan never surenders I know, and that's why I
Lucian's pov.Everyone was already in their position, and still no sign of Mary. She had told me before not to worry, but then I wasn't such a cold heartless brother not to worry at all.Today was a day of pain for me, and I really wished she didn't tell me about what was going on.I tried my best to make sure everything was perfect. However, the pack house was weirdly quiet."I'll snick inside. The rest of you, attack, and create a distraction..." I instructed, and I watched how they rushed around creating distractions which alarmed Aric's army.Meanwhile, my main aim was to snick into the pack house. I wanted to first of all finish Aric off before I decide to take Kira back home. The pack house was oddly quiet, and I walked in only to meet it still quiet. I moved up the stairs, and there were a lot of things I was worried about.Finally a sound reached ears it was the sound of two people struggling."When are you going to give up Aric. You're weak!" She yelled, but he growled, atta
Mia's pov This as the day inas waiting for, and even when Logan had promised to help me I guess I was finally ready to carry everything about the plan. My men were on stand by, and once I get to Aric I would make sure Kira would be taken away while I deal with him. I didn't care show long that was going to take but it all had to be today. I was getting myself ready when all of a sudden I received a call in my phone. It was from logam, and the moment I saw it, I rolled my eyes. I was tired of him, but the truth remained that I had no choice. I had to go back to him once all these were done because he wasn't alive anymore. Aric killed him, and I was going to show Aric that I wasn't someone to mess with. I picked up the phone, and place it on the outer speaker, so I could hear him while I get myself ready. "Hello darling, how are you doing?" I rolled my eyes, he was my mate, and wasn't meant to be treated bad in anyway. My hands were shaking, and all I wanted was to make
Lucian's pov. I know what she was trying to tell me. "Did she see the future, or was she just scared?" "There's no need to be in thoughts. I know we are going to fight a war tomorrow. At the same time, Mia is already ready. Not for you, but for Kira. I had a vision about the war, and..." I immediately realized where she was going to. "Then I'm not going to allow you go. You aren't going anywhere!" I yelled. Apart from Kira, she was the only close family relation I had, and now, she was my sister. I had taken her to be that. "I'm sorry Lucian, but doing that would only complicate what's going on now. I know things aren't the way you envision them to be, but I'll die in the arms of my lover." She was throwing me all around. I didn't realise she had a lover. Besides, she never used to talk about him anyways. She was always quiet. "I met him after the attack. He was Aric's beta, but he wasn't involved in the attack. He saved my life, and we fell in love, but we got separated
chapter117 Lucian's pov I didn't know what was going on, but the plan seemed to have some kind of fault. Now that I knew that something was off, I needed another plan just in case. Thankfully, Peter was good enough to make sure things went back to ordered. I was happy about the whole thing. I was actually really excited about it. I was glad to know he was ready to stand by me. I moved towards the library, and sat there planning. The truth remained that I didn't even know what our faith was going to be after this, but then I didn't want to envision bad things for myself. I was hoping things were going to be easier to get through with. "You're still looking at the plan?" I heard Peter's voice from the doorpost. He seemed worried, but masked it with a smile. I knew he was going to talk about this. I knew he wasn't going to keep shut. "Yes. I needed to be sure things are in place. I don't want to make the same mistake twice. I couldn't dare let Kira go through anything else
Mia's pov I was shocked to see him at my door. My heart drummed like never before, but there was nothing I could say to him. I felt like my life was about to be over. I was trying my best to understand, but then it didn't seem right. "I see you didn't miss me at all. The frown on your face says it all, darling..." He expressed with a smudged look on his face. I sighed. Not only was I not happy, I was shocked. I couldn't tell how he was able to find me after all these time. I had not given him any information about my whereabouts. No address, nothing of any sort. I was just confused seeing him here. "Cheer up. You're going to be fine. I just came here to see how you're doing. Besides, I am your mate, aren't I?" He asked in an attempt to come into my house, but I blocked him by placing my hands on the door post. "I didn't recall telling you to come in!" My tone was harsh, making him frown in an instant. "Are you perhaps taking to me in that manner because I do not
Logan's pov I was feeling angry inside. I didn't know what else to do, but Mia was making me go crazy and I didn't think there was anything that could help me at this point. I had a glass of whisky in my hand, but no matter how much I sippedz I couldn't get her off my mind. Penelope walked in looking angry. Her eyes lingered on me before she spoke. "You're making her seem like she's gold she's your mate, but I left mine to make you happy. Why cant you forget her, and move on?" I turned towards my sister, and growled. "No. I can't. She's all I have. She's not the enemy. I'm sure she has an explaination for her deed." Penelope laughed. She laughed so hard I was confused, wondering what she was laughing about. "The way you trust her is amazing. I'm sure you have the time to do all that, but I what results. I don't care what it takes, but I think she's also in love with my supposed mate!" "Enough!" I yelled, making everywhere dead silent until the guard I had sent finally
Mia's pov I walked around the room and he stood there with worry on his mind. I could tell he was worried because he couldn't even stand straight. Things weren't as easy as I thought, and at first I was angry, but seeing him in a helpless state was amusing. "Where were we?" I asked with raised brows, and I watched him trying to pick up bits of our last conversation. I was worried and at the same time ready for action. "Get him!" I yelled, and before he could process what was going on. He was pinned against the wall. "What's going on here. This wasn't part of the deal you forgave me!" The moment I heard whatever he said, I laughed like there was no tomorrow. Was he really crazy to think I would include someone as stupid, and clumsy as him? He must have been joking to think that I would have considered that. I laughed again, and he stared at me like I was crazy. I knew that there was no words that could explain how scared he was. His face was pale, and his eyes darted around fo
chapter113 Mia's pov I was shocked about what was happening. I didn't know what was going on, all I knew was that something wasn't right. I hadn't gotten any news from Clark since the second time I sent him away. That's fine, I didn't care what was holding him back. It was obvious he wasn't cut out for the job. Clark was too gentle. He was Maybe kind-hearted, but changed when it was usually his turn to bite. I laughed, loving all I was seeing. It was obvious there was a lot of things to be done. I didn't even mind. I had a lot of things to fix up, and I wasn't going to rest until I fix them up. Picking up my communication device, I dialled his number. I waited for a while so it would ring before I was able to proceed. "Hello?"He answered, not too excited. "You haven't done what I asked you to. What's taking so long?" I questioned, creased lines appearing on my face. I was tired, and didn't know what else to do about the whole thing. I hated when whatever I had said was
