Kira's POVUp until now, I haven't seen a reason to regret my actions of allowing Ashton to remain in the mansion. He is even more useful than expected. His sources are top notch and his arrangements solid. Although I had doubted his capabilities so many times on different occasions, I think he is the right man for the job. This only made me wonder why he was helping me get his own throne. He has all it takes to take the throne from me, not like I'll let him do that, but he is smart. And a smart man like Ashton would be a great competition for me. We have one man down but we still have four more families to deal with. I noticed the smirk on Ashton’s face as he looked through a file, “What is it?” I dropped the file on the table with a sigh. We've been searching and I was getting really bored but he seems to have everything under control. He knew where to look and what file to pick. “I think we have found a way to get Henry’s vote” Now, that's the news I like to hear. I got up fro
Kira's POVDressed in a long black jacket with fur all over, black heels, my hair tied in a ponytail, and a mask covering half of my face, I stepped down from the car. Jonas came down as well and came to stand by my side. He was also on a mask but I could tell he was scanning the area diligently as did I. We were standing in front of a casino. Finally taking my handbag from Jonas, we both began to walk towards the entrance only to be stopped by some security. “Code,” He asked and I turned to Jonas who moved towards his ear and whispered the code to him. He gave us a nod before opening the door to us. “Well done, Jonas” It wasn't every day one got to learn about the code in little time. “Thank you, ma” We were greeted by the sight of those playing games and having fun. The casino was divided into various segments, it was so large I was already thinking of having one like this or better still taking this one from the owner. The owner doesn't know of my presence here. I walked arou
KIRA'S POVHis eyes widened in shock as he recognized me. “Kira?! What the hell are you doing here?”I leaned in close, letting my lips brush against his ear. “I came to negotiate,” I whispered, my voice dripping with seduction. “But I figured I’d do it in a way you’d appreciate.”Victor's shock quickly turned to anger. “You think you can waltz in here and seduce me into submission? You're truly insane!”I chuckled, stepping back and picking up my jacket, slowly draping it over my shoulders. “No, Victor. I don’t need to seduce you. I just need you to listen but I might end up fucking you, you're really horny for me.”He stood up, his fists clenching at his sides. “You’ve got some nerve, Kira.”“Nerve is what keeps me alive,” I replied calmly. “Now, are you ready to talk business, or should I leave and take my offer to someone else?”"I'm not in tree in following a loser like you but you do interest me, your body interest me so much and right now, all I wish to do is to strap you to my
KIRA'S POV. "I'm gonna murder that asshole soon!" I cussed as I stepped out of the car. I was pissed at myself for falling into his trap. I don't care about the sex, I'll do anything to get what I want, especially when it has to do with my kids. I'm running out of time and that's scaring me. What if after all my fights, I lose them? No. No. I won't lose them, I'll win the mafia and I'll go for them. Banging the car shut, I ignored the greetings from different directions and headed straight inside. It was late at night but when I saw the frail silhouette standing by the door, I knew it was Bella."What are you still doing up by this time?" I asked, pulling my jacket and tossing it in one direction."Welcome miss. I was waiting for you." She said with a smile and I gave her a bored look before heading towards the elevator. I need a hot bath and I need to think. Everyone has a weakness, everyone might think that Victor doesn't have any but he has and I'll dig deep and find it. I need
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
. 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
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
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."Can I tear them apart?" Kira pounced excitedly and there was anger in her too. "Calm down my love." I chuckled and began to move forward, my sword gleaming, halting, I looked at the men with weapons pointed at me and sigh softly."You idiots never learn not to mess with me, how many more examples do I have to make? How many will I have to kill?!" The men hesitated, their guns trembling slightly as they aimed at me. I could see the uncertainty in their eyes, the flicker of fear that even their bravado couldn’t mask. I took another step forward, dragging my sword along the ground, the sharp sound grating against the silence of the room."Drop your weapons," I ordered, my voice cold and commanding. "Unless you want to join the corpses outside."One of them sneered, his confidence faltering. "You're just one woman," he said, but his voice wavered. "We outnumber you."I let out a low, humorless laugh. "And yet, you're shaking." I pointed the bloodied tip of my sword at him.
Kira's POV. I searched the weapon room for some of my weapons, I have no idea where I had kept them last, "Will you act fast, our mate is in danger!" Morana screamed angrily and I just sighed, I was confused and didn't even know what to do. Suddenly, the door swung open, "we're ready ma'am, we're waiting for you." Jonas informed me but I just nodded."Where are my favorite daggers and guns?"Jonas raised an eyebrow, his expression a mix of urgency and confusion. “You left them in the training room last week, ma’am. I’ll have someone fetch them if you’d like.”I let out a frustrated huff, my patience thinning. “Forget it. I’ll find them myself.” I brushed past Jonas, my focus solely on preparing for the mission.Morana was a storm in my mind, her growls and snarls relentless. “He doesn’t have time for your disorganization, Kira. Move faster!”“I’m moving, Morana! Stop pushing me!” I snapped back internally, clenching my fists as I stormed into the training room.There they were...my
Kira's POV. "Pouring your anger on a poor dummy wouldn't change the fact that our mate is out there, doing goddess knows what, we don't even know where he is, you hurt him Kira, you really hurt him and I'll not forgive you if anything happens to him!" Morana growled angrily at me and I punched the dummy harder, I needed to unwind."He's gonna be fine, he's a damn werewolf, nothing will happen to him, besides, he's his own man, just like I'm my own woman, stop annoying me!""You're so frustrating, Kira," Morana hissed. "He’s not just a werewolf...he’s our mate! Do you even understand what that means? It’s not just about you, it’s about us!"I rolled my eyes, punching the dummy with even more force. "I’m not having this conversation with you. Not now, not ever. He’s fine, Morana. Probably out there plotting his next move or finding someone else to annoy."Morana growled in frustration, her energy pulsing within me like an uncontrollable storm. "You’re heartless! You know he’s hurting,
Kira's POV. My eyes widened in shock as I stared at the magnificent wolf in front of me, "Our mate is a wolf Kira, can you believe this, he's a fucking werewolf!" Morana pounced excitedly in me but I was too mad to acknowledge her, too mad and surprised at the same time, her constant shrill voice in my head made me cuss, " Shut your trashy mouth Mo, I can clearly see he's a damn werewolf, do you have to scream my head down?!" I fired angrily, hot unwanted tears leaving my eyes and I wish I knew why those tears were falling from my eyes. The huge wolf before me stood tall, powerful, with sleek black fur that shimmered under the dim light. His piercing red eyes locked onto mine, and for a moment, the room seemed to shrink around us. It was Ashton. My supposed human bodyguard. My…mate.Morana let out a gleeful howl in my mind. "Our mate is perfect! Look at him! So strong, so..."“SHUT UP!” I screamed aloud, cutting her off. The sound echoed in the room, but Ashton didn’t flinch. He st
Kira's POV. Isabella leaped at me, her bloodlust thick and tangible in the air. Her massive form blurred as she closed the distance between us in an instant. I braced myself, Morana growling fiercely in my mind as she took control of our movements."She’ll regret this," Morana hissed, her voice dripping with rage.I ducked just as Isabella’s claws slashed through the space where my head had been a second earlier. The force of her attack sent a gust of wind past me, and I wasted no time retaliating. My claws extended as I swung upward, aiming for her exposed side.She let out a sharp yelp as my claws made contact, leaving a deep gash along her flank. Isabella’s wolf stumbled back but quickly recovered, her glowing eyes narrowing in fury."Is that all you’ve got?" I taunted in my mind and Morana growled, her massive form overwhelming Isabella's wolf who shifted back. Morana’s dominance surged through me as she fully took over. Her fury was high, a tempest roaring inside both of us. Is
Kira's POV. "You can call Ashton to come help you with your training, you know." Mo suggested but I just rolled my eyes as I constantly kicked the dummy in front of me. I don't need Ashton, I can train by myself. "He's the only one strong enough to stand against you and you know that, the rest always give up, run away or end up passing out." She whined and I sighed."The last time Ashton came to this place, he used a gun to fuck me, it was a crazy experience, I need my focus and not some distractions!" I snapped at her and my face heated up at the thought of Ashton's last visit to the training room. It was impossible not to recall the smirk on his face as he teased me, completely unbothered by the chaos we created. My face flushed as the memory replayed itself in my mind.“Exactly,” Morana teased. “And wasn’t that just the kind of ‘training’ you needed? Maybe he can remind you how to relax and focus at the same time.”“Shut up, Mo,” I growled, delivering a hard kick to the dummy tha
Kira's POV. "Ma'am, Isabella is in the building, what should I do about it, should I send her back home?" Jonas asked as we headed to the meeting room but I just waved him away. I'm more interested in the meeting at hand, meeting with all the mafia Lords under me, I don't know the sudden reason why they'd called for a meeting but I'm pretty sure it was important. "Just let her play her game, I want to see what she's up to this time around, I'm intrigued by her attacks, let's see what she plans to do again this time." Jonas hesitated for a moment before nodding, clearly unsure of how to handle my casual indifference toward Isabella’s antics. "Understood, ma’am. I’ll keep an eye on her.""Good," I muttered, brushing past him as I stepped into the grand meeting room. The air was thick with tension, the kind that made the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end. All the mafia lords were already seated, their expressions ranging from guarded to openly hostile. Something was definitely
Kira's POV. Ashton’s question hung in the air, thick with tension. His intense gaze bore into me, and for a moment, I faltered. Fear wasn’t something I was willing to admit, not to him or anyone.I turned on my heel, determined to leave, but before I could take another step again, his hand shot out, grabbing my wrist and spinning me around. His strength caught me off guard, and in one swift motion, he pushed me back onto the bed.“What the hell, Ashton?!” I snarled, struggling to push him off me. But my strength felt like it had vanished, my body betraying me in a way I couldn’t comprehend. That damn wolf was responsible for this, I just know it deep in my guts! “Stop fighting me, Kira,” he said softly, his voice carrying an edge of command. His hands pinned mine above my head as he hovered over me, his face mere inches from mine. “For once, just stop.”The anger bubbling inside me collided with a strange, unwelcome vulnerability. I glared up at him, my chest heaving with frustratio
Kira's POV. "KIRA!" A familiar masculine voice shouted my name and I creased my brow as I looked at the entrance of the secret underground room in my room.That was definitely Ashton, what was he doing in my room? "Kira, where are you?!” he asked and I let out a loud sigh before heading to the exit, this had better be important.The door to the underground room creaked as I pushed it open. Ashton stood in the middle of my bedroom, his chest heaving, sweat dripping down his face, and a wild look in his eyes. He turned sharply as the door opened, and relief washed over his features the moment he saw me.“There you are!” he barked, striding toward me with such intensity that I instinctively stepped back.“What is it, Ashton?” I asked, trying to keep my voice neutral despite the unease creeping up my spine.His hands shot out, gripping my shoulders as he scanned me from head to toe, his gaze sharp and frantic. “Did you eat anything recently? Anything Isabella gave you?”I frowned, shrug
