Kira's povI rock back and forth on my heels as ceaseless thoughts of why Lucian has been cold to me ran through my mind. “Maybe I should confront him,” I muttered to myself, striding out of my room and walking towards his. The closer I got, the more my pulse raced. “What if it goes wrong?” My subconscious asked the moment I raised a hand to rap on the door, and I paused. Taking in a sharp breath, and ignoring the pounding of my heart against the walls of my chest, I knocked on the door, listening for an invitation. However, I heard footsteps, folloeed by the door being opened.“Come,” his voice held a tinge of dominance, causing goosebumps to run down my arms. Swallowing a ball of saliva with the hopes of pushing down the lump wedged in my throat, I pushed the door open and slowly walked into thre room. My heart leapt the moment his blue eyes met mine. They held a resolute look that wavered the moment they saw me. He leaned against the headboard of his bed, and my stomach churned
CHAPTERKira POVfew days later...I had a splitting headache and it made me really angry with everything. I couldn't count on the pack doctor at this point, as I had already thrown up this morning. Dizziness had been the major theme of my body as well.I heard a knock on the door and Mary stepped in with a smile on her face, which would immediately fade away, the moment she saw my face."Why do you look different?" She asked, but the nausea was too much for me to explained things to her. "Kira? Is Lucian aware about your ailment though?" She asked and I shook my head to say yes to her. "Then why isn't he with you?" Mary asked "Because he went to get the pack doctor. I think they said something along the lines of the pack doctor having a busy schedule." I barely managed to speak "Busy schedule? What other schedule would be busy for him not to attend to you?" I didn't even want to make reply, I was to weak."What exactly is wrong with you. I might just guess what is wrong after all.
CHAPTERLucian's POV The man's screams echoed in the the room.His head injury was bleeding, blood leaking from his sides, I turned my head and sighed.He had soiled himself twice already and I hadn't even gotten to to the best part yet.Trailing the knife on his jaw, I smiled a sadistic smile that had him wiggling in the iron chair he was on, trying to loose the chains which bound him."Sit still!" I commanded.I didn't normally torture hunters. I just killed them when I come across them, but recently, the hunters have gotten too close for comfort. I needed to send a message.'Don't Tempt me, I'm the ruthless Alpha for a reason' I said in my mind."You know, it was really stupid of you to play dead" I told him, and he nodded continuously, agreeing with my statement."Did you think you would be able to escape out with such an act like that?" I asked and he shook his head."Nnn...oo...” "Well, I'm going to assume that you want to live, and I'm going give you the chance to survive. Tha
Kira's pov We raced through the underbrush, branches whipping at my face and clawing at my clothing. I could hear the wolves drawing closer, its feet pounding the earth with a relentless rhythm."We're almost there!" Mary panted, her voice tinged with desperation.And then, just as I thought we were lost, I saw it. A clearing in the woods, a silver car in the middle of the woods."The keys are in the ignition," Mary gasped, shoving me towards the vehicle. "Get in and drive!"But no matter what we tried, the car refused to start, so we decided to use our legs.The world around me was a blur of noise and motion, my mind reeling from the chaos that had erupted all around us. I clutched my swollen belly protectively as Mary's firm grip guided me through the dense forest, away from the battle that was raging.My heart pounded with fear and confusion. Where were we going? What had happened to Lucian? Was he safe? I wanted to turn back, to see for myself, but Mary's voice was insistent, urgi
Kira's pov.I didn't realize what happened. The truth was that it was Lucian we saw, and he had someone very familiar with him, Gary. However, the stench of blood I perceived, made me aware that he was injured.“Lucian?” I moved away from behind Mary, rushing towards him with worry on my face as I wondered what was going on. He seemed to be trying to be alright.He didn't even bother to answer whatever I had said, going straight to the reason why he came here.“We have to leave now!” I heard the urgency in his tone. However, I couldn't just bring myself to ask what was happening.“Jonas, thank you for your help, but you also can't stay here. Aric, and his men refused to give up. We have to keep going, He explained, making me shiver in fear.Does that mean Aric won? I pondered, but was snapped out of thoughts when she turned towards me with a frown on her face.“We don't have time, Kira. Didn't you hear Lucian?” Mary asked, but I didn't get the chance to answer because she pulled me tow
Chapter72Kira's povI jolted out from my sleep, my chest moving like the sound of my drumming heartbeat“Damn it!” I yelled, feeling pains all over. My legs ached from the constant running. However, I was still caught by him.Images of Aric's deeds popped into my head, making me terrified.The way Mary was killed before my eyes made me cry like there was no tomorrow.After challenging, and telling him that the moon was stronger than him, he got so furious.Aric growled at me, pinning me to the bed with his body pressed against mine.“Don’t you dare say that to me. The moon can't help you, Lucian can't help you, and not even Mary. Do you understand?!” Aric inquired, pressing my neck so tight.I tried to struggle with him, but he was way too strong, making tears trickle down my eyes.Fear gripped me, and I noticed how he freed me feel his tight grip when he noticed I was in pain. However, his hands were still on my neck.“You don't know how much I missed you. Why did you allow that fool
Chapter73Aric's pov.I sat there with worry on my face. The fact that she didn't want me to come near her was heartbreaking.A sigh let my lips, and my heart ached in pain. I was confused, but then I couldn't override my excitement after defeating Lucian.I rushed into the pack house with a worried look on my face. My heart leaped in my chest as I thought of whatever happened that day.We attacked the pack Almost immediately, leading an army unexpectedly. The shadow moon pack wasn't expecting what we did to them, and even their Alpha, and his men couldn't stand it.A laugh left my lips as I recalled the way I killed him.Lucian made me chase him despite him being injured. Dying was supposed to be done without a fight,but Lucian wasn't that kind of man.When he finally stopped, I noticed blood trickling down from his sides. His lips were pressed together as if to subdued the pain that had overwhelmed him.I laughed, taking slow steps towards him when I noticed the part of the woods he
Chapter74Aaron's pov.I knew what had happened, I had friends who gave me information on what was going on.However, I never knew he would be able to pull it off. I thought he wasn't going to pull through with the plan, but it seemed like things went his way.“The Alpha captured Kira, his mate, and Mary, but unfortunately, he killed Mary, and sent men to throw her body in the woods,” the man who gave me information explained with worry on his face.“The Alpha has gone rogue…” I explained with a deep frown on my face, and he nodded. “I don't think you'll be leaving here anytime soon. The mercy of the Alpha faded the moment you decided not to support him.” He explained, making me sigh. I didn't support him for a reason. I couldn't stand back, and watch the innocent people die. I had tried my best to make sure that happend well enough, but it didn't.“You have to escape. You have to make sure that he doesn't see you here because he might end up killing you, or keeping you here forever,
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
