Ashton's POV. "What would you like to eat, Sir?" a soft voice asked the moment I stepped into the large family dining room.I turned to see a tiny woman standing beside me, creasing my brow, I asked, "And you are?"She blushed, her cheeks turning a delicate shade of pink and I wondered why she was blushing. "I'm Annabella, a new servant, Sir. What would you like to have for breakfast?"A new servant. Who hired such a fragile-looking woman? She seemed like she could break at any moment. "Um, get me hot chocolate and some scrambled eggs," I mumbled, dismissing her as I made my way to the dining table.Some of the family members were already seated, but I didn't bother acknowledging them. I grabbed the newspaper and buried my head in it, hoping to avoid any unnecessary interaction."Ash, you gonna pretend like we don't exist?" A familiar feminine voice pierced through my focus, making me roll my eyes. I really wasn't in the mood for a conversation."Ashton!" Another voice, this time mal
Ashton's POV. I looked around, assessing the situation, there were just six of them. The gunmen were focused on Kira, giving me a moment to plan, they came for Kira and I guess whoever sent them informed them that they have no cause to worry about anyone saving Kira... I wonder where her trusted men were. "Go on, do your job, you must be eager to see me lying in my pool of blood. Where did you want the bullet, in my heart or straight into my brain?" She asked and I just watched her in awe. "What the fuck are you doing?" I found myself asking.She glanced at me briefly, her eyes shooting daggers at me. "Stay out of this, Ashton. It's not your fight."The leader barked out a laugh. "You hear that pretty boy, stay out of it or I would add you to my list of who would die here today. She doesn't want your help so don't try to play the hero."The tension in the room was high and I tried to think of how to handle the situation."You're a pretty one, wish I can bang you before I end your m
Kira's POV“Fvck!” I ruffled out a cuss and slammed the door shut immediately after I stepped into my room. The anger surged from within me, those guards would definitely get their punishment but first, I needed to deal with those lunatics who thought they could come into my home and point guns at me. I am Kira, this is my territory, no one comes to threaten me let alone in my territory. I made my way into the bathroom and took a quick shower before wearing a different attire, the red nightgown now dumped among the other dirty clothes. The real battle had just begun because I wasn't going to let whosoever sent these gunmen into my house go free. One of them had clearly said they had been instructed not to take me for granted. A very good heads-up; they still did though.Staring at my reflection in the mirror, I packed my hair into a tight pony causing my face to be more revealed. I wore black shorts that ended at my thighs and wore a black spaghetti hand top. With no makeup and no
Kira's POV The roar from outside caused the four gunmen before me to shiver in fear, almost making me burst into laughter at the expressions on their faces.“Guess who's coming…” I asked in a sing-song tone, watching them crawl backward in fear. The stench of their terror almost made me want to puke.Oh, my little kitty, she isn't here yet, but her presence is already felt. How sweet…Just then, I saw the guards pushing the cage over to where we were.“This will be fun,” a soft chuckle escaped my lips. My eyes twinkled as I rubbed my hands together. A lot of fun!I casually got up from the chair and strolled over to the cage.“Hey, my sweet little one,” I cooed, reaching my hand into the cage to caress her head. She let out a purr, and I nodded, “Aye. I can tell you're hungry. I have four grown-ups for you. How would you like to taste them?” I asked my tiger with a smile. “Do you want them raw or cooked, baby?”I was staring right at my baby, yet I could smell and feel the fear oozin
Kira's POV"Get everyone down here," I ordered the guards as I strolled into the living room with a Remington R5 in my right hand. The living room, once a chaotic mess of broken glass, blood stains, and upended furniture, had been meticulously restored to order. It was almost as if nothing had happened here. I settled into a single sofa, my eyes fixed on the entrance as I waited for the family to gather. They would be mourning one of their own today."Where are the losers?!" I shouted after a few minutes of waiting. Their tardiness only fueled my anger, my fingers itching to pull the trigger.Impatient, I aimed the gun at the ceiling and fired a warning shot. "Get the fuck out now!" I bellowed.The family members scurried out like frightened rabbits, some descending the stairs while others hurried from the elevator. Within minutes, they were all assembled before me. The sheer number of them was staggering; Mr. Jones had truly sired a legion. There can never be peace in a house like t
Kira's POV(A week later.)“You are ready, ma’am,” Annabella announced, and I dropped my phone on the table to see her handiwork.“Nice,” I mumbled, standing up to admire myself in the mirror. “I never knew you could style hair so well.”“I style my siblings’ hair a lot,” she giggled, and I just shrugged, genuinely impressed with her choice of selection for the last hearing at the court.I was struck by the sleek and stylish piece she had chosen for me. The centerpiece was a striking black leather trench coat, its double-breasted design featuring a row of bold white buttons that added a modern touch. The coat fell elegantly to mid-calf, creating a commanding and confident silhouette.Underneath, she had opted for a classic black turtleneck sweater, its high collar framing my face and accentuating the bold red lipstick I had applied. My dark, wavy hair cascaded around my shoulders, adding a touch of drama to the overall look.Completing the ensemble were a pair of form-fitting black le
Kira's POV. The grand doors were just ahead, a symbol of authority and justice. But today, I was the real authority, and my justice would be painful, slow and merciless. As I approached the entrance, the press swarmed, their cameras flashing and questions coming from different directions but my guards did a great job in keeping them away. I hate the media. The courthouse was crowded with anticipation. Reporters and onlookers whispered amongst themselves, their eyes fixed on me. I could hear some of their conversations...words like “murder,” “trial,” and “power” went through my ears and I just smiled because they had no idea just how cruel I could be. They don't know who I am… yet. Denver stepped up beside me, his presence was a reminder of the Jones family's ever-growing list of enemies. But today wasn’t about him; it was about Richard and his futile attempt to challenge me. The courtroom doors swung open, and I walked in, my heels clicking sharply against the polished floor. T
Kira's POV. "Congratulations, hottie, you did great and you are exactly what they say you are," Denver complimented immediately as I stepped out of the car.Creasing my brow, I asked, "Were you waiting for me all this while?"He just shrugged, and I rolled my eyes, grabbing my bag from the car seat. I had ditched him back at the courthouse because I had some pressing issues to attend to. I was hoping he would get angry and leave me alone, but he was waiting for me."How was your day?" he asked."Fine, thank you," I mumbled before walking in. It had been a hectic day, and I was so hungry. I didn't have time to eat because I was so busy. All I wanted to do now was take a bath and eat to my full. No work again today; I was super exhausted."If you don't mind, would you like me to take you to dinner tonight?" he asked, falling in step with me."No. Not interested. I just wanna eat at home and sleep," I replied snappily and hastened my steps.Annabella rushed to meet me, took my bag, and
Kira's POV. "Sweet sweet Kira, you think you can stand up to us? We're the invisible triplet, nothing can stand in our way, not even our little weak ex Luna!" Nicolas spat and tears clouded my vision but I didn't want to let them fall. "You... You won't get away with this... You all will pay!" I screamed, biting my tongue to keep my tears in check."You can watch us kill them and use them to Immortalize ourselves, after we become immortals, you can come after us and try to get your vengeance, alright darling?" Christopher asked with a sinister smirk and fear made its way into every part of me. "Bring Trisha! It's almost time!!" He ordered and my eyes shot around.No. Trisha... Not... Not my baby. I couldn't rescue the brothers and now her.Goddess! Why me?!I heard her scream and I cried out in pain, as I saw them dragging my little girl into the room. Trisha's terrified cries pierced through my heart like a thousand daggers. She struggled against the men who held her, her small fr
Kira's POV. "Trisha... Oh my baby, my sweet child." I cried as I hugged my child, she hugged me back tightly crying her eyes out and I held her to my bosom."Shhh, shhh baby, I'm here now love, momma's here and she won't leave you sweetheart." I assured her, dropping kisses on her head but she still held me tight, crying and telling me not to leave her. "Sweetheart, I'm not leaving you, look... Mommy is right here and she's not going anywhere, she'll be here for you always, don't be scared darling, nothing will harm you as long as I'm here." I mumbled, still rubbing her back and kissing her.After a few minutes of sobbing, she released me from the hug and looked at me, her eyes were red, puffy and that sight hurt me so badly but I swallowed my pain and gave her a bright smile."I miss you so much mommy, why did you leave us?" She asked and I looked around the odd place we were in; it wasn't a good looking environment, it looked shabby and I didn't like the dark aura emitting from eve
Kira's POVI watched Ashton walk away, his bold words still ringing in my ears. The audacity he had to threaten me, yet there was something about his defiance that sparked a dark thrill within me. I smirked, my fingers brushing the handle of the knife concealed in my boot.“Keep talking, keep irking me, Ashton. It’ll make putting you down all the more satisfying,” I murmured to myself as I followed him out to the car.When I sat in the car, I gave him a deadly gaze but he only grinned at me. Gosh! I hate him! As we drove through the city, the streets blurred into a haze of lights and shadows. My mind was laser-focused on the task ahead. Anthony Reigns had dared me, I can't forget about the bullets I had to pull out of my body, the pain I had endured... Oh man, that asshole is gonna pay for every drop of blood that left my body that day. Ashton sat silently beside me, his eyes trained on the road ahead. Despite our confrontation earlier, I could sense his wariness, his guarded tension
Kira's POV The days went by with me still searching for a way to get back at those bastards who separated me from my kids. I had distanced myself not only from the entire household but also from Ashton. I hardly sleep, stay at home, or even have time for any outing that isn't worth my time. My main aim for getting here and killing all those who stood in my way was for this very purpose. If I don't find a way to penetrate into that fucking pack, I am as good as useless. The nightmares only got worse, I kept seeing myself Losing to them. I keep seeing myself watching my kids die right before my eyes. That cannot happen.Since John could not help me get the information I wanted about the Alpha triplet, I had given him another task to find my origin. Jones had once announced to his friend that I was a special breed, a special omega with special powers. I want to know more about that. I want to know how I can get my sick wolf that had been silent for the longest because her mates reject
Kira's POV. "Why did you leave so soon? It was an all night party, you know, right?" Ashton asked as we made our way out of the party but I chose to ignore him. I'm so pissed up right now, I couldn't find the woman I came here for so staying here would be a waste of time."The car is this way, Kira." He informed me as I took another path."I know, I'm not taking the car." I mumbled and quickened my step, it feels good to be on sneakers. Ashton suddenly grabbed my wrist and I bit back a cuss before drawing to a halt,"What's wrong with you, just go home, I need to think." "What's wrong with you?" He asked but I took a deep breath to steady myself. I don't want to discuss anything about my life with him or anybody. He doesn't know the reason I came here and I want to keep it that way. "Just go home Ashton, I need something to distract myself, something to... Like I need to unwind, I'm really unsettled." I said and snatched my wrist away from him.Creasing his brow, he asked, "Do you w
Author’s Pov“It’s Mervin’s turn” Michael complained as he walked further into the throne room. With a wave of his hand, he discharged everyone out of the room. His face contoured with worry as he went to sit with his brother, Christopher, who was staring at him, waiting for an explanation. Christopher didn’t ask what was wrong, but Michael explained,“Trisha is doing fine now but Mervin has fallen ill” The Alpha frowned, “This is no coincidence anymore, it has to be because of the rejection and Kira’s absence in their lives. They are hurting and it’s making the kids weak” Michael continued to complain.“So William and Trisha are fine now?”“Yes, they are both well, playing like they were never sick. Can’t you see it was first from Trisha to William then to Mervin back to Trisha and now Mervin” Michael sounded frustrated as he explained the sickness routine to Christopher. He hated that he suspected that it was because of Kira’s absence but the doctor had also said the same thing. Wh
Kira's POV. (A month later)"That's very interesting." I mumbled, staring at the information in front of me. "Inseparable bastards indeed." I scoffed before flinging the files away, my heart beating fast due to the level of furiousness I was feeling."What else did you get on them?" I asked the man in front of me."Well, Don, that's all I could get, it's hard getting information about them, if any of their men gets to know that someone is digging up about the alpha triplets, they'll not only wreck the information, they'll kill the person and the person's family." Mr. John replied and I bit my tongue to restrain my next comment. As long as my ex husbands remains together, taking them down would be impossible and even if it's possible, it would be so fucking difficult, it will require time and I don't fucking have the time. I have less than a year to bring them down but it was so fucking hard. How do I penetrate them? I can't go there, not yet... But what should I do? John shifted
. Kira's POV. "How... How did she... Why the hell did you three vote for her?!" Larry fired and I just grinned, enjoying his anger. There were five powerful men in front of me and I already had three votes; Victor's, Jared's and Kenzo. Kenzo wasn't such a hard nut to crack, dude got a lot of people after him and just a few promises of protection and some little threat, he fell on my feet.Now the remaining two, Don Enzo and Damien. They're clearly surprised by the turn out, I guess they didn't expect me to get any vote. Such losers, now I just need one more vote here and I know I'll get it, no one wants to be on the losing end.I looked at Ashton who was sitting and observing the situation with keen interest. I'll have to give him a lot of credit for this result, without him, nothing would be possible.Now, I needed just one more vote. Don Enzo and Damien were the last two standing against me, their faces twisted in surprise and disbelief. They hadn't expected me to secure any vote
Ashton's POV. "You can't do this to me." Victor said angrily, punching the laptop in front of him away and I just scoffed, looking at him with a deadly gaze and every part of me wants to kill him."Ouch, that's one of my favorite laptops but it's alright, so will I get the vote or should I expose your criminal records and family members to the public? Imagine dealing with the authorities and also trying to protect your family from your enemies, it's gonna be a rough tough one huh?" Kira asked, clearly enjoying Victor's rage. This woman... I don't know what to do with her anymore, sometimes I just wanna grab hold of her neck and squeeze the life out of her while other times, I want to protect her. I hate myself for all the shit but having mixed feelings ain't one of my favorite things. "How did you do this.. You evil bitch!" Victor cussed and I sighed, telling myself to calm down and not react, I'm gonna have his time later... I won't let him go free for fucking Kira, he doesn't get
