"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?
더 보기Nox POVPlan B was that we would invade and subdue all of Keira's warriors first. Then I would deal with her after I had taken her pack and murdered her piece-of-shit husband.'Alpha?' 'We'll...' She stopped pacing, causing me to forget what I was about to say. Then she looked in my direction as if she sensed something. Even from such a distance, I could scent her anger and anticipation. She was eager for things to get moving between us. She was highly impatient. Something distracted her, and she looked away from where I hid. Then she swiftly turned around and raced deeper into the pack. I followed her with silent paws.It was her Gamma, Conan, who called her attention.Theo followed me quietly and stayed well hidden.'Alpha, we're two minutes behind time on the plan,' he informed me.'We retreat,' I stated gently.'What? Like... no fighting tonight?''Yeah. No fighting. We'll come back another time.'*****I followed Keira still, keeping a good distance between us. She roamed her
Nox POVMy feet were as silent as a wild cat approaching its prey. I was close to Spring Moon borders now. My Beta and other warriors lurked all about the woods, waiting for my orders.I stopped and let my senses roam the place first. Keira's warriors were also nearby, but it's not like they were ready for battle. They were merely alert and doing their usual patrol work, making sure there was no trouble near their land. If I moved any closer, one of them could see me. Then I would have to kill him so that he didn't announce my presence.Fortunately, my meeting point with Keira was supposed to be near the borders and not deep inside Spring Moon lands. So I could watch for her from where I stood.I knew what she planned to do. Once she had done it, Theo and my guys would get my signal to invade her pack.She already thought the worst about me. There was no reason not to surpass her expectations tonight. She would learn just how cruel and greedy I could be since that was her impression o
Apparently, Liam felt so much larger than life now. He failed to realize that I could make him suffer immensely in that nine hours when the full moon would be visible in the sky. This was proof that he thought me completely useless and weak. And totally at his mercy.After breakfast, I got my cellphone and turned it on, expecting to see missed calls from Alpha Nox. There was none. I guessed he got my message last time. He truly was keeping his distance until we met tonight. That was a good thing.However, I couldn't stop checking my cellphone and willing him to call. I wanted him to confirm our meeting, which was set for after dark. No call came. Male werewolves went crazy in the full moon. I had never seen a Lycan in the full moon, but I'd heard stories. They were ten times worse, according to the rumors. The day he'd dropped the bomb that we were fated, when I asked us to meet on the full moon, it was because a part of me believed him. Not only that. I wanted it to be true, too.
Keira POVIn the last two days, I had very little sleep because of Liam. It took hours, but he'd eventually discovered my hiding place the day after. Once he did, he'd banged on the door almost all night.While he was busy with that, I got a hold of Conan using the intercom in the chamber where I locked myself up. I had him sneak into my study to get the spare copies of my divorce papers and Liam's reassignment at the Pine. Conan had held on to it and waited till the coast was clear. As soon as Liam grew bored of sticking near the guest chamber, he'd brought the files to me. It was a few minutes before dawn. I was starting to nod off when his gentle knock, followed by a whisper, woke me up and slipped the papers into the room. Now, it was the morning of the full moon. I was positively sick of being confined to this room. But it was either this or get raped by the soon-to-be ex.I sat on the bed with copies of the documents that Conan had dropped off discreetly. I let the images from
Keira POVI had faith in my t-shirt and jeggings and believed they shield me from Liam's overly invasive touch. Ripping them off me would not be too easy if he tried. Thankfully, he didn't join me on the bed. At least, not immediately. I had laid down when he pulled a stool close and deposited himself in front of me. He took a long swig from his bottle of scotch while his eyes stayed fixed on me.Moments went by in silence while he watched me with a look that made him unrecognizable to me. It occurred to me that he'd barely felt recognizable since the day I walked in on him and Belle at the Pine. Then he finally spoke,"Elder Hill was right, you know. I have needs that you can't meet, Kiki. I need your wolf awake when I fück you! But you've never let me have that. Our wolves have never done what couples should do. I'd like to know why? How's that fair to me?" '''False peace false peace false peace.''' I kept singing these words in my head to avoid barking out what I truly wished
Keira POVLiam shut the door and rolled the luggage to the side. He watched me with half lidded eyes as his chest rose and fell. I wondered if he was on some kind of drugs. He seemed like a madman. I unintentionally sniffed and caught the faint smell of alcohol in the air. "What did the old male say to you?" "He wants us to make peace," I replied. "Fighting isn't good for... me. That's what he said." "He's a wise old wolf, Kiki," he approached in casual strides. "You should listen to him."I nodded and quickly turned around to head to the bathroom. "I need to wash up and change," I announced quickly.The thought of what he could do to me in this bedchamber was horrifying.The words, '''Make false peace,''' kept ringing in my head.Uncle and Conan were right, though. I needed to stall Liam's madness. To trick him somehow. But how did I trick him into keeping his hands off me?I regretted coming here to meet him this night. I should not have. What I should have done was avoid him un
"Babe, are you deaf?" Liam breathed against my ear. "I said I'm done with being patient! You're back in your room. Where you belong. We're back to living as male and WIFE. Now, you and I will do what couples do. We START MAKING BABIES NOW. Like we should!"He rubbed himself against me to emphasize his words.Fear, revulsion and horror nearly overcame as his hardness pressed against me. In our human forms, he was so much stronger than me. He could overpower me and take what he wanted. And I couldn't shift. Not for another two nights.A hesitant knock sounded, saving me from what he was about to do. "Alpha, I...i brought the Luna's things," Yara called softly.He twisted around to look at the door. I gave him a hard shove and got free but felt too weak from all the emotions. When I tried to rise up from the bed, I stumbled and fell back.Meanwhile, Liam stood up and stomped to the door to open it."Go get the rest of her things!" He barked at Yara. "Where's Noel?"Instead of getting ba
Keira POVThe brief encounter with Nox in the woods had my blood boiling. The feelings that he evoked in me were totally uncalled for. Fated or not, he was my enemy. It made me so angry with myself that I was fiercely attracted to him. It made physically sick of everything and everyone. The innocence and desperation that I saw in his eyes tugged at my heart and made me more furious. The guy was just like Liam. The latter had feigned innocence too when I caught him with another woman's g-string. I guessed all males were the same. They were all full of lies and deceit!I was so done with them. Both Nox and Liam. I marched into the building and straight to Morris Page's quarters. At that moment, I didn't care about my uncle's words to keep things low-key. The lawyer was shocked that I would come to him. He seemed rattled by my presence as he rushed inside to get what I'd come for."You've reprinted it, right? I want two extra copies, at least. Print more and hold on to them for now."
Nox POV Before I could stop myself, I snarled back at Conan, advancing to attack. He was ready for me when I pounced, but he was not quite as strong as me. 'Back inside, Luna,' he groaned. I pinned him to the ground with my claws. 'Please! Go back inside,' he begged his Luna. With his words and manner, it occured to me that he was protecting his Luna from me. He was protecting my mate? And willing to die for her, too. I hated and respected him deeply for this. I began to release him as Keira rushed towards us, barking, "You let him go this instant!" 'I mean no harm,' I linked her. The hate I felt for her Gamma was because she was MY mate. It was MY sole role to make sure no harm came near her. But she wouldn't let me near her, yet she accepted his protection? The fact that it was his job did not lessen my irritation one bit. 'Luna, get back!' He urged her while attempting another attack. I was swift. Before he knew it, I had his neck beneath my paws with cla
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...
