last update Last Updated: 2025-02-04 00:32:03

Kiara's POV.

The first thing I noticed when my eyes fluttered open was the dim, hue of the evening light spilling through the large windows into the room. For a moment, I laid still, confused about how long I had been asleep. My body felt too well-rested, my limbs loose as though I had slept for an entire day.

I turned to the other side of the enormous bed, expecting to see Hyde’s cold form. But he wasn’t there.

Isn't it a mystery how I never wake to him in the bed? Or this isn't his room as well? Does he wait for me to be deep asleep before escaping to his own room?

I sat up slowly, rubbing the sleep from my eyes as I surveyed the grand bedroom. The heavy curtains swayed lightly from the evening breeze. Hyde was nowhere to be found. The space he occupied on the bed was still neat, untouched, as if he hadn’t been there at all.

A heavy sigh escaped my lips. It was the oddest thing.. how his silence loomed, yet the absence of it made the room feel colder.

Needing to move, I stood up and

    Kiara's POV.What?Did he just ask me that?Am I supposed to be sleeping after the maids have taken hours to prepare me for him?"The maids... ""You should sleep, the night is long gone already." He cut me off quickly and proceeded to undo his shirt buttons. I was left bewildered, my lips slightly parted open, trying to wrap my head around what just happened.It was quite obvious from the seductive way the maids have dressed me up that I wasn't in form for sleep, even a blind person could tell. Why is he suddenly choosing to act oblivious to it? Isn't he the one who sent them to prepare me for tonight? What's going on?"Uhm..." I cleared my throat gently, deciding to speak up if he won't."The maids... They said it's time to... Uhm.. to consummate our marriage." The words felt like a heavy wood clamped against my throat, refusing to be let out. Slowly, he turned towards me, an expressionless look on his face. "Are you ready?" His next words threw me offguard. I opened my mouth t

    Kiara's POV."I'd rather remain mateless, than have you as a mate," he spat, his eyes bloodshot as he stared deep into my eyes. His cold voice jolting through my spine. Devin Peoria, Beta Asher's son was my fated mate, I had expected it to be the best episode of my life, and looked forward to our mating ceremony but of course, misfortune will always find a way to knock me down a second before I could escape it."You are wolfless, you mean nothing, the moon goddess must be mistaken to pair us together " he spat. My stomach churned in despair as I feared hearing his next words, which were pretty obvious now.I could hear the faint giggles from the crowd that was starting to gather around us. "I, Devin Peoria, hereby reject you, Kiara Ezra as my mate and future Luna," he finally let the dreadful words out, sending stabs of pain through my already torn heart, slicing it into a million tiny pieces.Instantly, I felt a sharp pain shot through me, nibbling through my skin.I tried so despe

    Kiara's POV."What is taking so much time? They are here already," The door flung open revealing Helene. One look at her and I broke into an uncontrollable fit of tears all over again.Helene has been my personal maid since I was a kid, and the chief maid as well. She was the only one who doesn't treat me like trash in the pack. She pushed me through the years and tried to protect me from everyone, including my father, as much as she could. Now that I'm being separated from her, what more could hurt the most? Her gaze lingered softly on me for a while before turning to the bunch of maids dressing me up. "I need a moment with her, excuse us please," Once they had shut the door behind them, she slowly traced her steps towards me, walking past and stood beside me, her hands gently lowered on my shoulders as she stared pitifully at me through the large dressing mirror in my room. "Wipe your tears child, it isn't the end of the world," I chuckled bitterly, more tears streaming down m

    Kiara's POV.For several seconds I stood frozen on the spot as I stared at the most handsome man I've ever set my eyes on while I pondered over what he just said.He can't be serious right?I mean he's not the....Wait, what?"You... You are..."Hyde Montero," he quickly cut in.Oh my God.It's really him, my supposed husband."And I'm certain that you are Kiara Ezra," he added, seizing me up from my face down to the toes. I was still wallowing in confusion.If he was truly Hyde Montero then why haven't anyone ever said anything about his looks? Everyone spoke about him like he had some sort of horns on his forehead to support his demon king title. Only his heinous crimes were listed but absolutely nothing was said about his appearance, not even the tiniest little bit. I couldn't stop wondering why he appeared to be different from everything said about him, he looked a little too good looking for a devil.Well except the cold look in his eyes, the dark tides hovering around it was

    Kiara's POV.Throughout the drive to Hyde's surprisingly distant kingdom, no one said a word to anyone. The silence could be sliced effortlessly with a butter knife. We had left immediately after the rites were completed. Aside the elders, none of the pack members showed up. The smile on my father's face as Hyde led me to his carriage was unexplainable. He really wanted me out so badly. I hope that one day, his resentment towards me will be backed up with a tangible clue, there has to be more to it that meets the eye. Strangely, it was beginning to seem as though Hyde and I suffered the same faith, how could he travel such long distance to wed yet no one came with him, not even a single member of his family, or the elders of his clan, His father who had agreed to the marriage wasn't in attendance too. It was just him and few of his servants and guards. Well, his situation was understandable anyway being that there was a recent rumor about him killing his brother. Who would accompa

    Kiara's POV. I slowly opened my eyes to the soft morning sun that found its way into the room through the window.Somehow, I had slept so soundly, better than the past twenty years of my life.Turning around, a light sigh escaped my mouth as I realized that I was the only one on the bed, Hyde wasn't beside me.Did he not sleep in the room last night? Anyways, that shouldn't be a bother to me right? I mean having him around me makes me nervous and keeps me high on my emotions. I tried to recall the occurrence between us last night, but my memory seemed to blur most of the details out. I could only remember him offering his blood to me, but I was certain he said a few more words to me after that, why can't I seem to remember any of it? A soft knock on the door jolted me out of my trance. I quickly stood up and rushed towards the door, pulling it open to a middle aged lady standing by the door side, with a warm smile on her face.
