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 her. As future Luna and leader of the Spring Moon pack, good manners were a must. Apart from that, after my mom died, Zoey was in and out of our house a lot. Daddy said she was very helpful.

I was too little to remember how she helped.

The sound of my cheerful friends had gone faint because I was too far from the living room now. I grew irritated, telling myself that strange things like these were the reasons I didn't like the woman. Not just the fact that I caught her sneaking into dad's bedroom twice.

I turned to go back to my party when I felt movement. Before I could ask who was there, something hit me on the back of my neck with such force. It burned like scorching hot iron. The pain made me dizzy, causing me to lose balance. I reached out, trying to grab hold of something, but all I felt was empty space.

Then came another push. I felt the force of someone's hands this time. Much bigger than me. I heard their grunt as they shoved me off the rails and sent me falling from the top floor, which was six storey high.

I screamed and thrashed. Then someone caught me, but I kept screaming as they pulled me back to safety. Their voice was soothing at first, but soon grew impatient.

"Wake up, Keira."

They shook me roughly.

I opened my eyes but kept thrashing and trying to grab hold of something. Someone was with me on the bed, holding both my arms and shaking me.

"Wake up!"

I began to relax once I realized I was awake. My vision was blurred by the sun's ray pouring into the bedroom. Shame crept in once I realized where I was. I was on my bed in the main pack house. No longer an heir, but a grown she-wolf and co-leader of the Spring Moon.

Liam still had a grip on my arms. His tone became gentler when he spoke next.

"It's me, your Alpha, your husband. It's alright."

I was still panting as I looked all around me. Ten years had passed since that terrible incident that cursed my young wolf back to sleep. If the last two days were any indication, the nightmares had returned.

Liam's grip softened on my shoulder. I knew without a doubt that I definitely screamed out loud. This made me too embarrassed to look at him.

"It's just a bad dream," he said, smoothening my arm before releasing me.

Yes. A recurring bad dream. One that stopped a year ago when he and I were arranged to wed. I thought it was gone for good. Apparently not.

Thankfully, Liam was speaking and barely noticed my embarrassment.

"I was going to let you sleep and rest well cos it's a big day for us." He stood up. "But you seem in distress, so I had to wake you up."

The words big day got my attention. I looked at the time. It's past seven.

"Are you kidding me, Liam," I began scrambling out of bed. "Our guests will start arriving at 8:30. You could've woken me up much sooner."

He should have woken me up before the nightmare began. I briefly wondered what time he got home last night but pushed the thought aside. Irrelevant for now.

There were more important things to deal with. It was our wedding anniversary. Not only that, all the packs on the Eastside were commemorating one year of peace. My pack would host alphas and dignitaries of the other three main packs.

Well, two, because the Autumn Moon's Alpha may not show up. He was the bag egg of the Eastside. The only troublesome, evil one amongst us. At least, that was the rumor. I'd never met him.

Today won't be a simple affair. The party was an opportunity to make friends and strengthen partnerships with others.

I had been Luna of the Spring Moon pack for fifteen months right after my dad died. Being female, I needed these types if networking to show my people and counterparts that I had allies. That way, they would think twice before messing with my pack.

Liam remained nonchalant as I rushed towards the bathroom

"Relax, Luna." He swung a bathrobe over his shoulder. "Our people are taking care of everything. We just need to show up."

I ignored him and went for a quick shower.

What type of excuse or impression would I be making if I arrived late for my own renewal of vows? Pack members and visiting Alphas would surely talk. Already, some seem to find a reason to say things like, 'this is why females shouldn't rule a pack.' 'Oh, she's just pretending. Liam is Alpha.'

I'd heard and felt the whispers and vibes from some many times.

Not only that, hosting all those other Alphas and dignitaries was a great honor. It meant that the Spring Moon was a symbol of peace and unity on this Eastside.

In ten minutes, I'd showered and sent for my stylist. Liam was also getting dressed now. As I waited for Saul, my stylist, I began to feel like something would go wrong today.

It was a waning moon, so Aria, my wolf, was hybernating, as usual. So why had the nightmares returned? All these while, I'd lived quietly, doing my duties to the pack. Was that about to change?

"Are you alright?" Liam asked. "You had a bad dream last night too."

"Yeah, I'm alright," I nodded, forcing a smile. I stared his way and told myself to feel lucky that I married the most handsome guy in the pack. And he was loving too. Sometimes.

"You're worrying too much about the anniversary. I think you're under a lot of stress." He came over and smoothed my back. A faint smell of some fruit wafted past my nostrils. That was not part of his scent.

"Did you eat oranges or what?"

His hand froze for a brief moment as he hesitated. Something flashed in his eyes that was unrecognizable. Then he nodded quickly with a short laugh.

"Yeah. I went to the kitchen for a glass of water. Taylor was eating some, so I took one."

I was about to ask what time he came home last night when a soft knock sounded. Saul was here. He had only twenty minutes to get me ready for our special day.

"Come in," I called out.

As he entered and began working, Liam returned to getting dressed too. I was not always comfortable with him being in the room when I dolled up.

Before he became my mate and husband, he was my crush. Someone I fantasized about. Someone who made me laugh shyly when he's around. Now, we were a couple, running the pack together.

I was thinking of old times and marvelling at how much had changed when he finished. He started to leave the room as he said,

"I need a quick drink, love. Need to feel prepared. I'll be right back."

    My husband had not returned from his quick drink. It was a few minutes before 8:30. I couldn't call his cellphone because he left it in the bedroom, so I sent an omega to go get him. They didn't find him at the mini bar where I assumed he would be. Maybe he'd gone into his study to do a bit of work. It was hard to understand how a playboy could so quickly turn serious about life in general. He became a workaholic right after we got married. Whenever I thought about it, I felt proud of myself that I'd inspired such a good change in him. Not everyone could turn a ladies' man into a serious businessman.However, I got frustrated sometimes with the fact that took the business far more seriously than our marriage. Granted, ours was an arranged union, but I expected to be a priority in his life. I was his mate and wife. And today was very special. How could he think to work?With my pretty dress and makeup, I left the room to go fetch him from his study by myself, snatching his suit jacke

I tried to do the same now, looking everywhere else but at her. I failed. She'd acted like she was deaf to her mate's call. Or did she not hear? No, that couldn't be right. She was pretending.

    Keira POV At his words, I stopped dancing. Or tried to. His powerful arms and body kept moving, urging us both to the rhythm of the music. "What does that mean? What could there possibly be between us?" I looked around, afraid that someone might have heard. I considered forcing him to stop the dance. Thankfully, nobody had their eyes on us. He could refuse and it was better not to attract attention, so I moved with him. "I would think you're too sophisticated for games, Luna." "What games? I have no idea what you're talking about," I replied calmly. He looked down at me and arched a brow. "Hold on, you think there's something betweeb us because I looked at you? Everyone looked at you when you walked in, Alpha Nox. Does that mean you have something going on with them?" He frowned as though confused, then said in a low voice. "I'm talking about you and me." He was almost inaudible. "I'm talking about what you felt when you laid eyes on me for the first time." I tried to stop

    Keira POVThe world stopped when his lips touched mine. I was no longer Keira Gray of the Spring Moon. Neither was I wife and mate to Alpha Liam. I was no one but a woman ready to be claimed by a powerful lycan beast. Not even his taunts could bring me back to my senses as his fangs caressed my lips. My body was at his command. Before I knew it, I was sandwiched between him and the wall as his tongue tangled with mine. Then he began to slow down, his lips freeing mine. Only then did my senses slowly return. What the hell was I doing? Letting another Alpha kiss me in my own home? At my wedding anniversary. I was appalled with myself as I pushed him off of me. His brow creased, and his eyes narrowed as he murmured thoughtfully,"Something's wrong with your wolf.""Get out," I barked breathlessly. "This is an assault. You would love a war, won't you? Get out!"The fact that he just spoke my secret out loud was not as threatening as what he just made me do. Apart from pack elders and L

    Keira POV Though his accusations were true and I should be trying to explain myself, I couldn't help but feel irritated by his tone. He walked very close beside me now. When I didn't acknowledge his complain, he grabbed my arm making me stop. His eyes were bright with annoyance, which surprised me a little bit. The fact that he had just cursed didn't escape my notice. In all the times I'd known him as my partner, he'd never used the F word in front of me. "Yes, Liam," I said. "I reek of another wolf. What did you expect? " He frowned, confusion creasing his smooth face. Yesterday, I may have cared how he felt right now. But things were different today. He was to blame. "I begged you to put work aside for this one morning..." "That doesn't explain the scent all over you, Keira!" I wanted to bark that it does but simply shook my head in exasperation. If he hadn't disappeared, that kiss would not have happened. It was his fault. "Where the hell did you go?" I asked. "I was looki

    "Oh, Uncle. He's not to be trusted!" "Yes, he's lycan, but he's not a bad person, Keira," he replied. "Even if he is, being on our side benefits us greatly, I tell you." I didn't say anything further because I feared that Uncle Felix would sense something and figure out that we kissed. "Now I think you should take a quick shower before Elder Paula or Zoey comes near you. You don't want the latter spreading false rumors or the elder making a case out of nothing." I nodded as he walked off. Then I rushed to quickly wash off before returning to the party. Once I entered the grand hall again, Nox was gone. **** Sometime later, all the guests had left and the servant were cleaning up. I sat by the window of my bedchamber, feeling spent. Good thing the day was finally ending. Liam strode out of the walk-in closet with his eyes on me.We hadn't said a word to each other since my uncle interrupted us. Even though I was the relatively quiet type, one year of marriage must have taught h

  • My Luna with the Sleeping Wolf   The business visit

    Nox POVThe Pine was Keira Gray's wine company, which she inherited from her father. They were the only wine producers and suppliers in all of the Eastside. Not only do they cater to the needs of all the packs in the region, they also worked and traded with the humans in the surrounding towns. The three story building of the Pine sat by the edge of a hill with a large vineyard and factory behind it. I strolled towards the sliding glass doors, assessing the place with my senses to determine what was going on inside.It was a Monday, so too many people were coming and going. Humans and werewolves were all over the place. Keira may or may not be in there. From Theo's report, she minded the pack while the husband handled the company.Images of last time's kiss filled my mind. Eleven days had gone by since then. It felt like the kiss happened only yesterday even though my wolf was fussing like we hadn't seen her in a year. I still could wrap my head around the facts. Was she pretending n

    Earlier that day, Keira POV The beast's lips were on mine. My palms laid flat on his firm, muscled chest. Rather than push him away like I meant to, my fingers moved ever so slightly, enjoying the feel of his muscles as his lips teased mine. This was wrong. He was not my husband nor Alpha. Yet I couldn't stop him. I had never been kissed like this before. His hand moved over my bare flesh, making me lose all of my will to resist. His lips began to trail my neck downwards. When he cupped my breast and kneaded it with his thumb, I jerked awake. It was Liam who laid close to me. He licked his lips while watching me with darkened eyes. Then he moved closer to my side of the bed. "Babe," he whispered. "You were dreaming about me, weren't you?" I began to sit up, feeling so ashamed. Did I moan in my sleep? Goddess, I hoped not. He reached out and wrapped his arms around me, dropping a kiss on my shoulder blade. His touch felt intrusive. I gently tried to get out of his embra

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?

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.

    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.

  • My Luna with the Sleeping Wolf   Before sunset

    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

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.

    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.
