Kira's POVI panted slowly, sitting on the ground while squeezing out the water bottle content like my life depended on it. I had worked myself out a bit too much this morning. Xander and Miguel were having some sort of business meeting, and he had only warmed me up a little before heading back to the office. Initially, I would have acted a bit lazy like my usual self. But I just couldn't find it in me to laze out. My dad had ignited the protective and vicious spirit in me. He was awake now and back to his feet after such long, horrifying months. Instead of staying put, he had jumped on the pack duties and had begun riding around in the same tool that almost took his life. I'm so confused I have no idea what I am to do next, how do I tell him that my friend is plotting against him? I don't know who I can go to for help, I need someone who can convince my dad to keep his head and also help me flip Leila off my back. On a second thought, she shouldn't intend to try anything funny. Co
Xander's POVKira does have awfully dramatic means of making an announcement. My heart almost jumped out of their cage with the thought that something might be really wrong. “What is it this time?” I asked, already feeling sweaty in my palms.She sighed, arching her back like someone who is extremely frustrated with life. “My dad is awake.” Carl stared at me like I had an explanation as to what she is saying. I shrugged, “so? He has been awake for a while now.” “Yes, but he is hale and hearty now, intending to return to his duties.” She said.“Ok.” I hummed, “now, that definitely is a problem.” I almost didn't pick up her worry on time, it dawned on me what bothered her. If Alpha Kendrick gets back on his feet, Leila would undoubtedly get to him. And this time, we might be unable to save him. “What's going on?” Carl asked. Kira sucked her teeth, “Leila and Declan have made an attempt on my dad's life before. But I was able to save him. Knowing they didn't succeed the first time,
Author's POVA devilish grin spread out on Elizabeth's face as she stared down at the interesting pictures in her hand. Just when she thought her excitement days might be cut short. Fate thought to reward her. She gave the man in front of her a nod, “would you have thought this was going on at all?” The man shook his head, “I was just as taken aback as you are when I stumbled on it.” In Elizabeth's hand lays the naked and intimate pictures of Leila and her supposed step-brother Carl. She couldn't be more proud of her man to have gotten so productive with his discovery. Ever since, Leila had insisted on Carl being protected and not getting the death sentence he had been lined up for. Elizabeth felt something was fishy. She didn't think it would be to such extent, she was more bothered that Leila might be planning with another group of people since she hasn't been talking about seizing the throne much anymore. Her eyes twitched, when she thought of how destabilized Declan would be i
Kira's POVOne would think being at the table with everyone I love would make me feel on top of the world. Seeing my dad make jokes so randomly had my legs shiver, the thought of losing him to the cold hands of Leila and her evil motives makes me petrified. Knowing my life can hit the rocks in a twinkle of an eye. “Baby, are you okay?” Mum asked. I tried to smile, nodding. “I am okay, mum.” “Don't you like the food, honey? Should it be changed?” Dad inquired. I looked down at my plate and realized I had been playing around with it. “Oh, don't mind me. I am not just feeling too good.” Dad looked worried, “Do we need to make a call to the infirmary?” I sighed, unable to take the questions any longer. “I will just head upstairs and eat later.” I said, leaving the table, but I didn't forget my manners and ensured to kiss both parents goodnight. Letting Amber wonder in that little head of hers what was going on. Leaning into my bed, I held my phone, my finger lingering on Xander's c
Author's POVDeclan woke up feeling heavy and sad, today was that day when he feels awful about living. He had pulled down the curtains, letting the darkness overwhelm him. His thoughts jumbled, he could see the scene clearly like it was just a few minutes ago.Fear gripped him, goosebumps rose on his arms. Declan tried to steady his breath, but nothing was working. He could hear Liam's voice taunting him. That day had been the very day Declan's peace of mind had gone far from him. Liam had always been blunt about his dislike for Declan's work habit. It was easy for no one to take note, since Liam was thoughtful enough to keep his thoughts to himself only when they are in an enclosed space. And mostly because Elizabeth would always come to his defense.Declan had been too loose and spent money whichever way he wanted. He had been exposed to too much, as a result of the leverage granted unto him by his mother. Liam pretended to be unaware until he found out Declan had been forging his
Author's POVKendrick stared out the window of his study, his right hand holding on to the top of the chair to sit in. His eyes were sad and his heart heavy. His thoughts seemed to be everywhere, and it made him feel lightheaded. Feeling a sharp pain in his legs, from having to stand too much. He returned to his chair, staring at the wall blankly. Gripping the hands of the chair, he inhaled, feeling his energy drain at every attempt to breathe. The pain from his chest struck him again, and it had been going on for some time. Nothing feared Kendrick than the thought of leaving his family alone on the pedestal of his unfaithful pack council members. While he was bedridden from the accident, it made him realize how things could end within a minute and that would be all. Now that he was fated to die in due time, he feels the need to tell his heir; Kira. About the possible challenges she might encounter in a bid to rule the Blackstone pack. It occurred to him a little too late that some
Kira's POV“How can he not remember? He isn't even that old yet, and it's like the only name that should resonate in his head. Do you think the accident had his memory jumbled?” I lamented in pain. The others by the table tried to keep their gaze from me. I had stormed out of dad's study and headed out to meet with Xander, Amber had followed me in her usual insistent manner. Likewise, I don't know how to explain it, but it hurts me so much, probably the thought of losing him for good if the evil people choose to strike again or what not. It had me disoriented.“Relax, Kira.” Carl cautioned. I was surrounded by Amber, Carl, Xander, and Miguel. It made me feel sort of safe and a different kind of comfort in their presence. Maybe it was the reason I came running to them instead. “How do I keep calm? My head hurts at the thought of not being able to take control of the situation at the moment. I am anxious.” I admitted in frustrationAmber smacked her lips, “what exactly were you expec
Kira's POVI had woken up feeling a bit better than I had felt in weeks. I laid in bed staring out the open window. Trying to grasp a hold of thoughts, nothing came, and it was easy to tell that I am a bit stable. Ayla, on the other hand, wouldn't agree with me on that, she seemed to want a stretch. “Isn't it too early?” I groaned“I want to get out, the morning smell is inviting. Let me have a feel of it.” She insisted.Dragging myself from the bed reluctantly, I changed, heading downstairs. Luckily, none of my family members were down yet. I don't think I want to have any intimate discussion at the moment. Letting myself out, I strolled towards the woods, taking off my clothes before shifting. It's a hassle calling out to guards to help get a cloth to change into. I ran through the woods at a different speed that I never would have thought I had. Ayla felt alive, and I could tap into her excitement.Something felt different with my wolf, almost like an inner glow, my claws shining
