Keira POV

My maid bowed and left quickly. Once Nox and I were alone, I spoke quickly before he said anything,

"Why didn't you show up that night?"

I needed to know why he didn't show up on the full moon. Somehow, I knew there was more to his reasons than wanting to spite me. Perhaps he just didn't want me to know for sure if the bond existed between us.

"I was busy."

"Busy planning this attack, huh?"

"That. And other things."

"Well, you're here right now. And you have done everything I feared you would do! So it's safe to believe that I was right about you all along? We're not fated, Nox. It was all part of your TRICKS. Right?"

"You can believe what you want, Keira!"

"Why wait? Why did you go through the trouble of trying to seduce me? Trying to ruin my marriage?"

"There you go again, blaming me for your failures with that piece-of-shit bästard you call a husband. You never struck me as a blame-pusher, Keira. I guess looks really can be decieving! Did you often blame him, too? I'm su

  • My Luna with the Sleeping Wolf   A brief get-together

    Keira POVAs Liam approached from down the hallway, it occurred to me that I hadn't even thought much about him, considering the fact that he was my husband. The Jonas guy whom Nox mentioned had not yet come to show me the records of the dead.Yet I'd believed that the name Liam Rudd would be in that record and had not thought further than that. Apart from wondering when his mark would start to fade, of course. My hand unconsciously went up to my neck to touch the mark as he came closer. My heart warmed the way it used to when we first got together. The hate I felt from his betrayal was almost non-existent now. Either because of his imprint on my neck or because of all we'd been through these last few days. The fact that he was still alive was confusing. And he had a warrior with him, too, that moved like a bodyguard.He stood in front of me now as he murmured, "Hey, Kiki.""He didn't kill you," I remarked. Then, I realized that we had an audience. My gaze moved from Yara to the

    Keira POVNox's expression was blank. His gaze moved to fix on Liam."Alpha Nox," Liam said in his business-like voice. "You're in the Luna's chamber.""So are you!" Nox replied in a low, threatening voice.Liam moved to go outside, but he stood in his way, not stepping aside from the doorway. As I watched the two, I could not help but compare and contrast. Nox's broader shoulders, the thick curls that flowed to his shoulders, and those eyes like purple sapphire were a stark contrast to Liam's not-so-broad stature and pale blue eyes. Liam's neatly cut blonde hair suddenly seemed almost ordinary beside Nox's dark burgundy hair. I did my best to ignore how small and insignificant the ex-husband now seemed.Liam Rudd used to be the most handsome male in the pack. At least, I used to think so, and I was not alone in that opinion. The silence continued as Nox stood in Liam's way. I began to wonder what would happen next. Then he spoke finally."You're a guest here, Liam Rudd."The words

  • My Luna with the Sleeping Wolf   Casual dinner with his Luna

    Nox POVI tried not to stare. But Keira's low neck blouse and the way it hugged her perfectly made it impossible. She knew I was staring, but I was sure she thought the mark alone held my interest. Without looking in the mirror, I knew my eyes were a reddish purple now. My beast, Orion, was close to the surface, but I was in control.She gave me a single glance, then refocused on the meal before her. Why did I make her join me for dinner again? I couldn't remember, so I decided to keep my focus on the food, too.The fact that she wasn't complaining anymore was suspicious. When I mentioned dinner the first time, she'd declined. When they went to get her, I expected protest. I imagined that I may have to go there myself and threaten her. But that was not the case. She'd agreed quietly. I found it slightly irritating. Because she had just been reunited with that sonovabitch husband of hers. He had to be the reason she appeared calm now. What exactly did he say to her?"What did you a

    Keira POVI was done with the meal. The little appetite that I came out with had now vanished. My food was only half finished."Eat up, Keira!" Nox ordered firmly. "We don't want to keep them waiting.""I may be your prisoner, but you don't own my body!" I said.His face became expressionless. Eyes like purple sapphire held mine without blinking. I suddenly recalled the last time we met in the woods. This was the same look he'd given me. Then it hit me. That moment was the day he decided to bring battle to my pack. I was sure of it. The feeling of Aria stirring inside me returned, making me shift in my seat. I looked away from him, picking up the wine glass in front of me."Becareful what you say to me, Luna Keira," he said at last, his voice calm and without malice."I remember how you begged me to stop thinking you're my enemy-""And you didn't listen, so here we are!" He cut in harshly. "Now wrap it up with this meal. The doctors are waiting!" He wiped his mouth, tossed the napkin

    Keira POVAt the announcement, Nox's eyes returned to me. He lifted a brow as he spoke."Is that so?" "Yes, Alpha," Justin replied.Those guys were the warriors whose presence I'd hoped and prayed would prevent any trouble with Alpha Nox. They were here now, but they came too late. Or did they?What could they do possibly do now? The battle was long over, and my family legacy was in the hands of the enemy. The fact that the warrior was announcing their presence meant that they were here as guests. Not to make any kind of trouble with the new Alpha."Those are your friends from the Midnight Moon, huh?" Nox taunted. "But you won't be needing them anymore, so what do we tell them?"I glared at him."Relax! I'll be courteous and let them in, at least."Then he ordered the warrior to send them in. Once the warrior left and we were alone again, he watched me with an unreadable expression. I didn't have the energy to engage in question and answer, so I waited in silence with him till he m

Not only did she betray me on a personal level but her mother was among the traitors that sold the pack to Nox."You sent for me, Alpha Nox," she said. Nox's focus switched from me to her in an instant. At the same time, I couldn't help but noticed the redness of her lips and the length of her dress. She seemed rather dressed up. Why?It was past dinner. Nox and I had just ate together. If not, I would've thought he had invited her over for dinner."We'll talk in my study," Nox said to her. Then he gestured for the warrior to lead her there.I willed her to look my way. She had managed to avoid me from the day I caught her with Liam until now. If she looked my way, I could check for guilt. Maybe that would make me feel better. But she didn't give me a single look. She moved past like I was not standing there. A minute ago, that was something she

    Nox POVBelle Faust and I had just finished going over some of the major accounts at the Pine. Apparently, she was in charge of sales here, and they had a lot of big clients outside town. We still couldn't go over the entire list yet.Some very important procedures depended on her at the company. Theo was secretly working on changing that. Thankfully, she wasn't killed or seriously injured during the battle. Once our meeting was over, Theo and Mario entered as she was leaving my office.The latter was not my number two man. But I appointed him as the Chief Warrior here in Spring Moon. He sat across from me beside Theo, shifting in his seat. I knew he had a special report from the look he kept giving me.I allowed him to take his time while I laid out instructions regarding security at the wine factory. My Beta also noticed his odd demeanor and seemed to be waiting for me to point it out.Once I was done briefing him, he stood up hesitantly to go when I said,"Say what's on your mind

    Keira POVThe warrior assigned to watch me was not as bad as I thought. For someone who belonged with the enemy camp, he was quite accommodating, respectful and thoughtful.Pavlov. That was his name.When I mentioned that I needed to get some fresh air, he'd shocked me by being sympathetic. Then he'd asked me to give him time to talk to his bosses.I assumed he was referring to the new chief warrior here, if not Alpha Nox. If my senses were right, the latter was not nearby. He hadn't been around since the early hours of this morning.I waited for a positive response while filling my time with books. At least, I was allowed as far as my library. Pavlov was always nearby watching, never showing himself unless I started to walk too fast or towards where they didn't want me to go.I sat quietly in the library now, skimming over an old magazine. Suddenly, he appeared, a soft look in his eyes. I knew that he had good news from his boss."How much longer do you need to read?" He asked gentl

    Nox POVTheo gave me a look that meant that he could see my anticipation and restlessness. I didn't care that it was showing. I looked around the conference room. Everyone else was focused on the projector.Then I stood up, causing the human to pause his presentation. All eyes turned to me in the conference room."Oh, carry on," I said to the guy. "Mister Crowe is right here. Oh, Miss Faust, you may see me briefly for the rest of the introductions.""Yes, sir," she replied, rising eagerly. I preferred Alpha, but for the sake of the few humans in our midst, the wolves referred to me as sir sometimes. It was hard to get used to it. Why in the hell did that good-for-nothing Liam put humans in management? I shook the thought of him off. He was irrelevant now. Keira and I had bonded. Their marriage was already void as far as I was concerned. Now, all that was left was for her wolf to show up and call me Mate.That would happen soon. Her healing had begun. It could even happen before the

    Keira POV After the meal, Nox had to leave to handle pack and business matters immediately. The doctor stuck around, sharing a few jokes about his Alpha and Autumn Moon. I felt much more clear-headed and less shaken after the meal and chit chat. Then I went to look for Uncle Felix, who was also detained as he was a member of the house and one of the few who had direct access to me.Pavlov was with me all the time. As I made my way to meet my uncle, I decided that the person I really wanted to look in the eye was Liam. The one who was my husband for a whole year. I couldn't believe that he had a hand in poisoning me. But then he had the most to gain from keeping my wolf weak and in hibernation.Uncle Felix was detained in one of the cells on the second floor. Other elders were also held in some of the cells. I had no interest in talking to any of them except my blooded relative.I stopped when I reached the door of the cell.

    Keira POVAt some point, after all the others had gone, Nox left to go oversee some things. I was happy to be alone in the quietness of my thoughts, but his absence brought an emptiness that made my heart ached.After washing up for the evening, I climbed the bed and sat there, thinking about my whole life until I fell asleep. My dreams were bittersweet, but I lost all memories of them the moment I opened my eyes the next day.I had freshened up and was combing my hair when a gentle knock came on the door. I stood up from the dresser as Nox's voice came through,"Keira, it's me. The doctor is here.""Come in," I replied.The door opened, and he walked in with another werewolf. A tall but lanky male around his age. He had warm brown eyes and a friendly air about him. "This is Doctor Jack Servius," Nox said. The male gave a gentle smile and came forward, holding out his right hand."Hi, Luna," he greeted. "We've actually met, but you were asleep then."I raised a brow, and Nox suppl

    Keira POVAs Nox spoke, a calm assurance settled upon me. I couldn't shake off the feeling. His tone rang with intimacy and tenderness. Last night's incident returned to me in the midst of the turmoil as I watched him. I did not feel weird or ashamed about what we did at all. In this moment, it felt right that he was telling me these things. It felt like he was my male, taking care of me. Of course, these thoughts and feelings may all be Aria's. But it only proved that she felt the bond. She recognized him as Mate. If only she would summon the strength to rise and call out to him."You won't put anything in your mouth. You don't touch anything. Until it's cleared!" He said. "Conan and one of mine are checking your room. They have a poison detector.""Conan? My Gamma?""Yes," he replied gently. "He begged to help."Not long ago, I'd considered that he might be an accomplice. But the news of him helping lift my spirit slightly. "How did you know?" I asked him. "You got here before we

    Keira 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

  • My Luna with the Sleeping Wolf   The library meet-up

    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
