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. "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 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"Morana?" I repeated the name, confusion clouding my mind as the pain continued to ripple through my body. Vixen had always been my wolf, though weak and distant, but still there. After the rejection, I assumed she was gone, taking with her the connection I barely understood. But if Vixen was truly dead... how was I still able to use my werewolf powers?Goddess, this makes no sense."Goddess! You're so dumb!" Morana snarled in my mind, her voice sharp and impatient. The sudden aggression in her tone sent another wave of pain crashing through me, and I doubled over, clutching my sides."Fuck you!" I growled back through gritted teeth, the agony almost unbearable. "Can’t you make this shift any less painful? And stop being such a mean bitchy wolf!"Her response was a dark, amused cackle that resonated in my mind, the kind of laughter that made my blood run cold. I wanted to scream, to fight back, but my body was slowly being torn apart, reshaped into something... new. The moo
Kira's POV. I don't know what to do, I don't even understand anything as I stared at him, the urge to just attack him and kill him was high in me but Morana was in state of confusion, she was attracted to him and also angry with him; I guess she sees him as a distraction too. Kira... honey, are you there?” His voice was soft, cautious, as if he was speaking to a frightened animal. He stretched out his hand, inching closer. I shifted backward instinctively, my body rigid with fear—not of him, but of what his touch might do to me. Everything felt wrong, chaotic. His presence was like a burning flame, drawing me in while also filling me with the desire to snuff it out. How could he be my mate? How could the goddess choose someone like him? I don't even want any mates! “Your wolf is so beautiful and magnificent.” His smile was warm, like a lover’s whisper, and I felt Morana’s resolve waver. She began lowering her head, responding to him. The betrayal I felt at that moment was more pai
Kira's POVAshton followed me blindly to my room, his footsteps light but persistent. My emotions were a tangled mess...relief, anger, confusion....but I was grateful that I was back in control, if only for the moment. Still, it felt wild and baffling that Ashton was my second chance mate. How on earth would I deal with that stubborn fool? We were already entangled in something complicated, and now the moon goddess had thrown a twist into the mix. What more did she want from me?I shot a glance at him over my shoulder. He stood there, his dark hair tousled, a playful smile dancing on his lips. There was a devilish charm about him, and I felt a flicker of annoyance mixed with something I couldn’t quite define. “Sit and wait for me,” I instructed, my voice steady despite the chaos inside. “I need to wash up, dress, and show you why you need to stay as far away from me as possible.”The way he smiled back at me, eyes sparkling with mischief, sent a jolt of irritation through my veins. It
Kira’s POVHis kiss was deep, raw, and harsh, so rough I could taste the metallic tang of blood on my tongue...and I craved it. Morana was pounding within me, her primal hunger feeding my own. Every nerve in my body screamed for him, for more of this dangerous man who stood before me, my mate. It was maddening, intense, unlike anything I had ever felt. I couldn’t think straight, didn’t want to. I only wanted Ashton...wanted to drown in him and forget everything, even if just for a moment. His hands roamed my body like they owned me, gripping my hips hard enough to leave bruises. And goddess, I wanted those bruises. I wanted every mark, every reminder of this chaos between us. "Ashton..." I gasped between kisses, my voice desperate, needy. He growled in response, the sound vibrating through me, making my knees weak. "Say my name again," he demanded, his lips trailing down my neck, biting just hard enough to blur the line between pain and pleasure. I arched into him, surrendering to
Kira's POV. His pace was relentless, his hips slamming into mine with a rhythm that was as brutal as it was intoxicating. My nails scraped against the wall, desperate to hold on as he drove deeper with each thrust, pulling gasps and moans from my throat. “Ashton...” I gasped, overwhelmed by the intensity of it all. Every nerve in my body was alight, every thrust sending me closer to the edge. He leaned down, his lips brushing against my ear. “Say my name again.” I shook my head, biting my lip to stifle a moan, but he wasn’t having it. His hand slid between my thighs, his fingers rubbing circles over my swollen clit. The pleasure was too much, and a cry tore from my throat. “Ashton!” I moaned, unable to stop myself, my body betraying me in the most delicious way. “That’s right,” he growled, driving into me harder, faster. “You’re mine, Kira. Say it.” The knot in my belly tightened, every thrust, every touch pushing me closer to the breaking point and my wolf was weakening my res
Kira's POV. "Open the damn door or I'll break it down!" Ashton threatened as he banged at my door and I let out a loud sigh."I've told you Ashton, I don't want to talk to you, for goodness sake, I'm busy, go away, do something... Anything but being with me." I shouted, trying hard to keep my temper in check but he was making it so difficult, I don't want to talk to him but he won't have that. "I know you're mad at me for allowing myself to get taken like that but look on the brighter side mate, we're together, allowing me close to you, what are you so afraid of? Scared of loving me?"I rolled my eyes so hard it hurt. “Scared of loving you? Ashton, don’t flatter yourself. I’m not mad, I’m just busy, and frankly, you’re getting on my nerves.”The banging stopped momentarily, and for a second, I thought he’d finally listened and left. But then his voice came again, quieter but no less persistent. “You’re lying, Kira. You’re always pushing me away, but it’s not because you’re busy. You
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
