"Look, I understand you're married," he replied in the same low, calm baritone while we danced. "But burying your head in the sand does not change the facts. These things are out of our hands, you and I. We can't help what we feel, Keira. We should talk about it and try to resolve it." Resolve? Now he was being blatantly sex.ually suggestive? I was going to respond, but my mouth hung open as a gentle thumb brushed the flesh above my waist. That part of the dress had a small opening... **** On her thirteenth birthday, Kiera suffers an attack that leaves a lasting injury on her wolf and weakens her senses. When her father dies, as the only child, she succeeds him, becoming Luna of the Spring Moon pack despite her secret deformity. But her position and the secret of her wounded wolf are at stake if she remains unmarried. To earn the support of pack elders, her uncle arranges marriage with the most suitable candidate and her teenage crush, Liam Rudd. Despite the imperfections in her marriage, Keira is content with her life. Until their first wedding anniversary. Her husband begins to reveal his true colors while pack elders insist she remains in an unhappy marriage. To worsen the crisis, Alpha Nox, a notorious ruthless lycan, comes into the picture. He claims he's her fated mate, though her injured wolf is not able to confirm this. One kiss, a simple mistake, leads to Keira's undoing. The lycan learns her secret and becomes determined to claim what is rightfully his, no matter the cost. Will Keira be able to protect her pack from ruin and keep her title? What extent is Alpha Nox willing to go to get what he wants?
Voir plusKeira POVTen years ago, I was attacked, and my wolf took ill. My dad didn't stop at torturing all of the warriors on duty that day. One of the warriors went missing before the torturing began. After the heavy interrogation, the other five were demoted to mere guards and not allowed near the main house to date. Two amongst the warriors on duty were still locked up in the dungeon to this day.The culprit was never found. From the chilling news that I had just learned, that evil one was not done with me yet. I sat silently across from the doctors, thinking of all that happened after my accident. The two seemed to be waiting for me to take in the news.My mind continued to shuffle all of the faces I saw often around my house. Then something occurred to me.Rita Glass. My doctor. She was around my age and took over after her father retired four years ago. I'd had my regular checkup with her for the last four years now."How long have you known?" My question was directed at her. Fear
Keira POVI watched Pavlov, checking for any indication that he knew about my attempted treason with Liam. His face remained gentle as he said, "Decide where you'd like to go, and I'll take you there." "I'd like to go to the hospital," I said. "Dandelion. I need to see the doctor." The smile faded from the warrior's face. All expressions vanished. I knew then that I was on track about where to find Liam. He was hospitalized. Of course, he was. "You said I can go anywhere, Pavlov!" I reminded him. "Anywhere but near the former Alpha," he replied. "That's the order.""Uh, I wanna go to the hospital, not to meet him!""He's getting treatment after an... accident last night. Once he's better and they bring him back here, I'll take you to Dandelion." "I'm not going there to see him," I argued. It was partly true. I needed to have Doctor Glass check me out. Surely, she would have something to say about this feeling inside me. The fact that Nox called out my wolf's name yesterday too
Keira POVNox did not stop as Liam's wolf snarled at us. In spite of the situation before me, I could not prevent my feminine core from tightening around his manhood, let alone push him off me. He slammed into me one last time as he breathed,"Exquisite." His eyes were on Liam, who now charged towards us with claws and fangs hanging out.I rose up, struggling to cover myself with the torn pieces of clothes all around me. Nox pulled out of me, then bared his teeth at the approaching angry wolf.Then he half-shifted. At the same time, Liam lunged at him, but he caught the blow, wrapping one strong hand with thick claws around Liam's throat."Monster! Rãpist!" Liam cursed. His voice was hoarsed as he struggled to breathe while bleeding and healing. And bleeding some more."You forced her." He gritted.I should be trying to put an end to the fight, but I couldn't look at the both of them. Not only that, the fight didn't last longer than a moment. Liam dropped to the floor, panting for b
Keira POVIt was the middle of the night. Pavlov was nowhere near, so was all other Autumn werewolves. At least, it seemed so. I had successfully opened the door and was now out in the hallway. The tiled floor was cool beneath my feet as I tiptoe towards the library. Why had I never thought about that door until today? It was a door that was hardly ever used. I should have snuck through it to the guest quarters many times. After all, the place was not out of bounds to me, like going outside or around the pack.If they had been letting me sit there to read, that meant the door was locked. Or they didn't yet know about it. The latter was unlikely.Well, if it was locked, that shouldn't be a problem as U continued towards the library. I tightened my grip on my tiny pocket knife. Liam and I needed to talk. We had to discuss all the consequences of his plans. Apart from that, I couldn't sleep tonight. I was restless as hell. My body felt different. I felt so not myself ever since Nox t
Nox POVAfter washing up and changing my clothes, I decided to head to my study to do a bit of work for the evening. As I stepped into the hallway, a funny feeling rose inside of me. An omega was just coming out of Keira's room. I had seen the guy a few times, so I walked faster to catch up with him. I didn't miss how pale he got when he saw me coming his way. He looked like he wanted to run away. "Noel, is it?" I asked him. He jumped at the sound of my voice. I could hear the thundering sound of his heartbeat. The stench of his fear filled the whole place, making me slightly nauseous. "Y...yes, Alpha," he stuttered, lowering his head. The signs he gave off proved that Mario was on to something. The new Chief Warrior was observant. He reported that this very omega was the same guy who used to work closely with Liam Rudd. Even now, after the invasion, he stuck close to the guest quarters, running errands and doing chores for some of the "guests." I noted the beads of sweat on
Keira POVNox's foot stood in the way of me shutting the door. If he entered and Yara left, we would be alone in this bedroom. The bed was a few feet away. I could feel my resolve weaken."Let's talk," he said."About what? We have nothing to talk about!" I replied."You know we do. What just happened with Aria? That's something we need to talk about."I was growing more uncomfortable in my wet clothes by the minute. The way my body was reacting to him was not helpful. I felt angry at myself for the evening and how it was turning out. What if he came in here and touched me? I didn't trust myself."Move out of the way, Nox!" I barked.He immediately moved his foot away and replaced it with his hand. It became strength against his, and I was no match for him. He pushed the door open with little or no effort.As he stepped inside, I backed away so that he didn't bump into me.Yara scurried past the two of us, leaving the room and shutting us inside. I backed away further, making sure th
Nox POVKeira's wolf was awake. She knew me. And she wanted me. I was filled with such delight that I didn't realize that Keira had begun fighting to resist me. She was struggling with her wolf."Nox," she cried softly. It felt like this was the first time she had ever said my name. I quickly loosened my hold on her. She rose. Her eyes were still the iridescent color of her wolf. Her shoulders rose and fell as she panted, trying to steady her breathing. Her fists were clenched on either side of her, the claws peeping out."Please, don't try to shift," I begged even though it was unnecessary. She knew as well as I did that it would be dangerous.She nodded her agreement. I rose slowly and moved close hesitantly. Then I took her hands. Pressing her palm to my lips, I whispered,"You're alright, Aria. You're safe." She gave a soft whine. Then, I held her hands to my heart. Keira still resisted me, but Aria was close to the surface, and she wanted me to keep touching her. I could feel
Keira POVThe gentle words nearly got to me. Then I recalled my situation and replied,"We can! If you give me back my pack and bring back the people you killed.""What do you mean give you back your pack? I didn't take it anywhere! Everyone still calls you Luna, Keira.""They call me that FOR THE SAKE OF IT and nothing more!"He stepped closer, invading my space as he stated,"They've always called you that for the sake of it. Liam was the one they looked to. He was the one they thought of as the real leader! He overshadowed you. And your "elders" helped him."Those words touched a nerve. I opened my mouth to give a sharp reply but nothing came to me."I've done you a favor removing him from the place that never BELONGED to him at all!" Anger flashed in his eyes, but he sighed, and the look was quickly replaced by the earlier smirk.I began walking again. He followed me in silence. Soon, the angry tension lessened, then vanished. The earlier awareness returned. Then he said,"If you
Keira POVI slowed my strides to inhale the cool, spring air outside. The place felt empty except for a few warriors. They stayed out of sight, but I could feel their watchful eyes.I could also feel the males behind me. Pavlov and Skylar's presence were far away. Nox stood a few feet from me.I thought of Liam's solution and decided that it was pretty straight to the point. '''Kill the Lycan by poisoning him. Bring down the strong man and take back what he claimed.'''But even if I got the chance and was able to accomplish it, what about his warriors? These guys weren't child's play. They wouldn't go down easily. There would be another bloodbath. Not only that, Liam's plan was impossible. Period.Wolfbane killed werewolves, not lycans. It may weaken them temporarily, but that was it. No one knew if mixing it with silver would have any real effect.I was tempted to turn around and look at Nox, but I didn't. He wanted me to. I would hate to give him that, so I kept my eyes ahead.Pack
Keira POV The hallway was pitch black. That was odd. How could they turn off all the lights on such a special day? It was my thirteenth birthday. I was the Alpha heir and my wolf has just awakened, waiting for its time to emerge. My sight was great, but as my wolf was still young, it wasn't matured enough to pierce the darkness. "Who's there?" I called. "Daddy, the lights are off!" But my dad wasn't nearby. He was in a meeting at the pack grand hall. My friends were all in the living room, dancing and squealing with delights at the clown's jokes. I was missing the fun. Why did I come out here again? Someone called my name. The voice sounded like Zoey Faust's, that was why I left my party. Zoey was a good friend of the family. She was from the line of the Beta's and married into a warrior's family. Her husband died long ago, leaving her with a daughter who was inside enjoying herself right now. "Mrs Faust?" I called out. No answer came. Daddy told me to be nice and respectful to...
