Hearing Leila walk towards the room, I pushed Xander to the bathroom. If she saw him in my room, there is no way she wouldn't start getting suspicious. I am not supposed to have met Xander just yet. Considering the controversy his presence had cause at the hospital. I really don't want to have to start explaining myself. Leila opened the door without knocking, it's her usual way of barging in on my privacy like she owns a part of me. “Hey, girlfriend!” She screeched, looking too excited. I raised a brow, holding down a grin. “why do you look smug?” Leila flapped her hands dramatically, “because I have just carried out a good deed and I feel pleased.”“What do you mean?” I inquired.“Really?” She flared her nose slightly, “Have you forgotten how your date with Declan went down the rail? Because of all that has been happening; I know. But you have been indoor all this while.”“So?” “So, I pleaded him to spare out of his busy time. I must say, he is really busy handling his dad's b
Author's POVThe exposure of Declan's broad chest had Leila feeling mush inside of her. She had countless things on her mind, but she couldn't help the thought of having him inside of her. Taking off her top, Leila crawled silently on the bed, hugging him with her bare body while caressing his chest., "Hmm!" Declan moaned, "you are such a tease." He grinned.Declan knew she was going to reach out for him and had decided against moving farther from her. He needed the release badly. It had been an awkward and long day out with Kira. As much as their initial plan was to make her fall for him. He didn't expect her to give in so easily. It's not like he has any problem with it. Knowing it only made his mission easier.Leila fondled with his weak point; his nipples. She knows just how to touch it, that drives him to the edge. Not letting her take any breath, Declan had Leila lying on her back. His hands ripped out her panties.Leila gasped loudly when his hardened dick tickled her exposed
Author's POVDeclan gulped hard when the voice called out to him again. He shared a knowing look with Leila. “She is here.”Leila's breath almost itched as she tried to get her clothes together. If there is anyone she fears the most, that would be Elizabeth Hemsworth; Declan mother. Ever since Leila had stepped foot into the house, she had never like her. The most aggressive thing about Elizabeth is her inability to hide whatever feelings she has towards anyone. Knowing how bad she wants to be part of Declan's life. Leila had clipped her wings to fit into Elizabeth's requirements. And that includes doing everything to ensure her son is treated like a king.Not caring if Declan could be naked or in the room with someone. Elizabeth barged the door open, burning holes into Declan, most especially Leila.“What are you still doing here?” She growled loudly at Leila. “Mum!” Declan tried to protest, but kept his lips sealed when Elizabeth threw him the most demeaning looks he had ever gott
Xander's POV"Why won't you just say something, Xander?” Mira whined into my ears.Whatever I woke to this morning, isn't sitting right with me. Kira has been calling non-stop and all the texts she sent. I ignored them for the moment. I can't deal with too much drama at the moment. Anything she has to say that is so important would have to wait until later. Even when my wolf; Axel had insinuated she might be in danger. I had tuned out its voice, refusing to be cajoled. Just when I thought drama would desist from me. I saw Mira waiting by the entrance of the bar, tapping her feet eagerly on the hard floor. Why she thought the drama she is putting on the show would get to me sounds hilarious. Who comes onto someone to whine about something so unreasonable. If I wasn't so considerate, I would have thrown or shut her out. Mira was the girl I grew up with, lived in the same neighborhood before her parents moved away. But we ended up finishing high school together. One thing that I dete
Kira's POVI can't believe Xander has been avoiding my calls. If it wasn't so essential to have someone to work with on this mission of mine. There is no way I would involve myself with someone so arrogant. I was about to lose my mind when he didn't pick his call, for his own good I hoped he would pick my final attempt at calling him. The most annoying of all is the unremorseful stretch to his tone. More like an order for me to come meet him at his bar after sending me an address. My dad and Amber are recuperating just fine, but I can't seem to get off the nagging thought that the enemies might strike differently. After saying yes to Declan, I thought it wise to communicate the present situation of things to Xander, but that unusual being appears to be avoiding me. Ever since the moment we had in the pack house, I haven't seen him. “Just admit you miss him.” Ayla squealed. Groaning, I gripped the steering wheel tightly. Times like this are when I wish I can really stuff Ayla's mou
Kira's POVMy toes curled at the effect of the kiss, I doubt if Xander knows how cute unpredicted kisses are. When he eventually let my lips go, I wasn't ready to end it yet, and Ayla definitely doesn't either. He had an amused look when he stepped back. “I almost thought you would chew off my lips with how vicious you attacked it.” He mused.I scoffed, rolling my eyes and trying to steady my shaky breath. “Speak for. yourself, don't try to use reverse psychology on me. You were the one who switched from discussing something serious to intertwining tongues.”Xander looked unashamed, “I was only endeavoring to lighten the mood. It was too tense.” A throaty laugh escaped my lips, “Sure, I get that.” I observed him for a second. “There is something you feel doubtful telling me about. What's wrong?” “Wow, no one told me you were a psychic.” I sighed, returning to my sitting position. “If we would do this together Xander, it would be nice to not keep anything from each other.” Ignorin
Author's POVLeila blinked slowly, trying to keep her eyes in their sockets and avoid throwing the vicious glare she has in mind at Elizabeth. Her controlling and dominating attitude, makes Leila's insides churn in frustration. At the same time, the woman is more like a role model for her. Leila has a secret admiration of Elizabeth. The way she carries herself letting everyone know she is the boss. It makes Leila dream of a day she would live such a power filled life. Sighing, Leila glared at Declan as he tried to arrange the files his mother had handed over to him. They were sitted in Elizabeth's study, awaiting the meeting she had called on Leila's idea to over throne the present alpha family. Sometimes, Leila hates how weak Declan was when it comes to his mother. The idea was her master plan and to be carried out her own way. But, he ended up blurting it all out to his mother, ruining everything. “You don't look too good, Leila. Would you like some iced tea?” Elizabeth asked he
Kira's POVMy eyes lingered on my dad and sister as they laid on the bed, with their eyes closed. Their breath moved slowly. It hurts to see them looking lifeless.“But they are alive.” Ayla whisperedI sighed, that was one thing to be genuinely thankful for. Me being able to save them was a miracle, and the both of them striving to live was another thing. I had just returned from my early morning training with Xander, when I thought to check on them first. Having Xander's head for breakfast would please me really good at the moment. I had thought the training would have me throwing punches and legs. But for three straight days now, Xander has had me doing just push-ups and lifting dumbbells. Whenever I tried to talk or ask him about it, he would flip at my butt with a flexible ruler that I wonder where he got it from. We haven't said anything to each other aside; good morning and goodbye. I miss his touch, to help me see just how much he missed the first day of training. I wore a
Kira's POVIt's been a month since the Blackstone pack got rid of its plotters, a month since Elizabeth died. Leila and Declan have since been locked up in the dungeon awaiting their trial. There was no need to hurry it up, it's not like they would ever get an escape from there. Their sentence would be judged based on their two times attempted murder and plotting against the throne. I wish them nothing but the best in their forthcoming trial. After the deed, Xander got to investigate on the fraud Elizabeth had engaged in while she ruled as the CEO of his father's company. It didn't take long before he got his rightful position back and took over his inheritance. I was thrilled for him, as for Mira, I had to have her released. She didn't really do much, even though she had kidnapped me. I didn't need to tell the pack council that. Uncle John kept to his promise and has been visiting from time to time. He and my mum seem to enjoy spending time together playing Scrabble. I'm glad she
Kira's POVXander didn't wait for me to explain further, he said he was on his way. I wanted to avoid making any hasty decisions without the key members of the pack. In less than thirty minutes, the large meeting room was filled up with every member of the pack council and Xander. “Why did you call a meeting all of a sudden, princess Kira?” Zeta Felix inquired.Asking for them to wait for me, I called in John to repeat his information about Elizabeth and the rest to them. Which he repeated without mincing a word. They couldn't doubt him, my father had ensured the pack members could trust the rogues with their words. Beta Mason scoffed, “how dare them even think of going up against us? Such audacity!” “What should we do now? Should we go after them?” Asked Felix.I sighed, turning towards John. “What do you advise we do uncle?” He shrugged, “there is much to do, I have no intention of taking my men on a fruitless journey. So, since you won't be crossing anybody's territory without
Kira's POVI feel like whatever it is that has brought uncle John to the pack house must be vital. Whatever it is I can only hope it would be of help to the course on the ground. The entire pack has been on high alert for the past week over the escape of the pack traitors. Knowing they wouldn't give up and might be planning something big against us. I have asked the zeta to engage in rigorous training with the soldiers. They need to be as prepared as possible.After lunch, John asked to have a word with my mum and me. Amber left reluctantly, I am sure she is just as keen to know what he has to say just like every one of us. Calling him into the study with my mum, we all settled on the couch waiting for him to speak. John cleared his throat, clasping his hands together. “I want to start by saying that this family means a lot to me, and I am not just saying this to sweet talk you. Kendrick made me understand that being different from the rest of the people doesn't mean you must be evil
Author's POVJohn got lost in thought as he drove towards the pack house. He couldn't seem to feel sorry for Elizabeth. She deserves whatever comes to her, he never would have thought that a time would come when he would be able to look her in the eyes without breaking down. John would have never imagined himself to be a lover. But then love knows no rogue or anyone else, as soon as your heart finds interest in someone. You are doomed and nothing else helps. He didn't get a chance at finding a mate, which implies he could choose any woman to be with. His treacherous heart had him fooled by Elizabeth, and he fell for her with no caution.For some reason known to her alone, Elizabeth comes to drink at the usual spot of the rogues. He had noticed her countless times, she would sit alone drink herself to stupor and somehow find her way home. The day he finally got the courage to approach her, she was still on her first bottle. That was how he got to know of her husband's maltreatment. Jo
Author's POVTaking another look at his wristwatch, Declan's heart remained unsettled as he thought about what would become of him is John refused to show up. It's almost noon, and he still hasn't caught a glimpse of him. His eyes continue to glance at his mother, who seems to be having a swell time mocking him. This might probably be the end of Declan ever trying to do things on his own if a flop occurs. Gripping the edge of his chair tightly, he exhaled. “Are we going to sit here all day waiting for no one to show up?” Elizabeth inquired. “It's not noon yet, Elizabeth. There is still plenty of time to be patient.” Leila chipped in, tired of Elizabeth gloating about her ability. Leila wants Declan to have enough control, which would put Elizabeth on the sideline and give her more power. She wished more than anyone that John would arrive and show his support to Declan. Standing up, she patted his back to comfort him. “What if he doesn't come?” He asked her. She shook her head, wh
Author's POVRunning as fast as his legs could carry him, Declan moved at the full speed of rage. When he got to the rogues' territory, he was beginning to feel fear at how tough the guards looked. Bracing himself, he walked towards them with a determined stride.“Where do you think you are going?” One of the guards said in a tough voice. Declan held his gaze, “I want to see your leader, John.”The guards stared at each other, laughing, one of them said. “you have got a lot of nerve to come in front of us and seek for our leader. Who are you?” “Tell him, I am Declan, the son of Elizabeth and the next Alpha of Blackstone pack. And I won't leave here until he talks to me.” They burst into another fit of laughter, wondering if he was crazy. Their laughter faded at the sight of his determined look. Whispering to one another, one of them ran into the pack to find their leader. John was seated in front of his cabin, enjoying the atmosphere, with the damsel next to him massaging his feet.
Author's POVDeclan clenched his fist hard, trying to suppress the anger inside of him. His wolf was the most furious, and he felt like jumping at someone. John had demeaned him with no regard, and his mother had sat there acting like it's nothing. His ego felt bruised, even if he hasn't done much, that doesn't make him weak. “I will make him regret ever talking down at me like that. Is this what you want, mum? For people to see me as a weakling and have no fear of calling me one. Thanks for birthing a fool like me!” He glared. Leila sighed, the room had been tensed since the leader of the rogue left. It was more tiring considering how angered Declan is. “Calm down, baby. There is no need to act fussy, what we need right now is to find a solution. It's obvious we can't give up now.” “You had better listen to your girlfriend, she appears more sensible than you are.” Elizabeth mocked him. Tears pricked at the back of Declan's eyes, as he stared hard at his mother. “I should have kno
Author's POVElizabeth had waited it out for two days before taking any step to be sure no one tailed them to their hiding place. For some reason, she had purchased the hideout during Declan's looming trial. Knowing it might come back to her, she had planned a means of escape. However, it did really save them In the end. She was seated in one of the cabins, with Leila and Declan looking tensed. The both of them couldn't seem to hold themselves up for a while as their fears and doubts were obvious. Elizabeth knew she wasn't going to back down soon, her promise to have Kendrick's family pay too wasn't fulfilled yet. Her eyes lingered on her wristwatch and the cabin entrance again. “How long are we going to seat here for?” Declan asked. “Who is this person you have been waiting for, for two days? You haven't said a word since we got out here, and no plans on how to get back our place in the pack. Are you sure you thought this through?” “Can you keep quiet, Declan? Shouldn't you be abl
Kira's POVXander and I entered the meeting hall to find a full room, my mum was there too. They all stood up to welcome me, I didn't realize I had that much relevance already. Bowing my head lightly, I sat in the reserved chair. “Good day everyone, thanks for honoring my invitation at such short notice.” I said to them. Beta Mason stood up, “this is the first time we would be having a general meeting with the apparent heir. And we couldn't just sit back without showing our faces.”I inhaled, looking towards Xander, who gave me an affirmative nod. “I don't know how to say this, but I will start by appreciating every one of you for standing by my father all this year's. We're still keeping the pack glued together despite his absence. Thank you. Today I have called you altogether, to save our pack. This has been going on for a long while, but I didn't see any reason to call onto anyone until there is some level of certainty.”The gathering murmured among themselves for a second, befor
