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. "Wake up!" A voice resonated within me but I tried to ignore it and give in to sleep but a loud growl made my eyes fly open."C'mon Morana, this isn't fair, I need rest!" I huffed as I rubbed my sleepy eyes."You can't rest, not when your ex husbands are growing powerful everyday but you... You're okay being the mafia leader, you need power and more power and you won't achieve that by staying in bed." She hummed and I sat up, my bad mood worsening. The mention of those monsters always ruined my day and my wolf had made it a duty to ruin my mood, having her in me still feels strange, all my life, I never had a much active wolf but this one... She's not only mighty but pretty strong and I wonder where she comes from. "Questioning my origin would not bring the kids back, we need to act fast, we are delaying, we can ask our mate to help, he'll help you better if he knows what we are fighting for." Her suggestion brought waves of last night memories back into me, his claim
Kira's POV. "Your body is weak, you need to train harder, how come your physical combat is so weak?" Morana scoffed in my head as I trained with the dummies in the huge training center. I was trying to train and she was the most annoying thing ever, I don't know whether I should be grateful to the moon goddess for giving me such a powerful wolf or I should curse her cause this was too much, I can't even do anything without her complaining, she's strong, yeah but I'm trying to be stronger. "Accept the mate bond with Ashton, we'll be stronger Kira, he'll make us stronger, why is that hard for you to understand, you'll not even allow him know we're her mate, that's bad!" I dropped to the floor, clutching my side as Morana’s angry energy surged through me like a storm, piercing and causing me pain. “You don’t understand, I do not need him. I just want my kids, and no matter what you say, Morana, I’m never going to need him!” I growled, trying to block her out. But Morana was
Kira's POV. "You look beautiful ma'am." Annabella complimented me for like the hundredth time and I rolled my eyes, my whole body was aching after a long extensive training and now there's this shitty party Don Larry invited me to, I can't reject the invitation because I've rejected many of his Invitation to various events and besides the rest of the four dons will be there and as their boss, it's my duty to be there too... Sadly. "I think the gown is too exposing, do you think Ashton will be cool with it?" Morana asked and I groaned inwardly. How the hell was Mo very soft towards Ashton but extremely mean with me? "Cause he's our mate, he doesn't know it yet but I am still on with the idea that we let him know so we can bond, we'll be more powerful, your ex idiots are inseparable, we've tried many tactics to penetrate their walls these few weeks and guess what? We got nothing! So let Ashton join...""Never!"Morana growled in frustration, but I ignored her, brushing my fingers ove
Kira's POV“Ouch,” I mumbled as I tried to pry my eyes open. My entire body ached, and I felt a suffocating weakness that made my blood boil. Morana’s usual fiery presence was absent, and that absence was like a gaping hole in my chest. I can feel her but it was almost like she wasn't there.What the hell happened?Memories surged—a dance with Larry, the sharp prick of needles, and then darkness. My rage bubbled. That damned man! He betrayed me, and I’ll make sure he pays. I'm gonna kill him in the cruelest way possible. “Good to see you awake, Luna Kira, or should I say, ex-Luna Kira. You look much better than the last time I saw you.”That voice—familiar and dripping with smugness—sent shivers down my spine. My heart raced as I struggled to lift my head, my vision blurred but slowly clearing. There he was. Newton.“Newton?” I rasped, shock and anger twisting in my gut. “You bastard… How… Why…”“In flesh and blood,” he replied smoothly, leaning against the car door with a smirk that
Kira's POVNewton shoved me violently into the dimly lit room, and I stumbled forward, my hands catching the edge of a table just in time to steady myself. My rage boiled over as I whipped around to face him. “You’ll regret this, Newton,” I snarled, my voice sharp as a blade. “I’ll carve that smug look off your face myself, I'll kill you and I'll take the greatest pleasure in doing it.”He didn’t flinch. Instead, he leaned casually against the doorframe, the picture of smug arrogance. “Regret?” he said, his voice dripping with mockery. “Sweet Kira, regret isn’t something I entertain. You, on the other hand, might want to reconsider your choices.”With a theatrical flourish, he flicked on the lights. The sudden brightness made me squint, but as my eyes adjusted, I took in the room. It was lavish to the point of insult...golden accents on the furniture, plush carpeting, and walls adorned with delicate art. A vanity table with an array of high-end cosmetics sat in one corner, while an ex
Kira's POV"You seem ready for our first attack," Ashton remarked, his golden eyes glinting with amusement as he gestured toward the massive, shattered rock before us. The once-imposing boulder now lay in jagged pieces scattered across the training ground, steam rising from the cracks where my energy had split it apart.But his words did little to comfort me. Despite the destruction, despite his strong confidence in me, I still felt like I wasn’t ready. I clenched my fists, staring at the debris, my chest tight with frustration. "It’s not enough," I muttered. "Not yet."Ashton stepped closer, his gaze narrowing as he studied me. "Kira, you just turned a solid rock into rubble. What part of that isn’t enough?"I shook my head, taking a shaky breath. "This isn’t just about breaking rocks, Ashton. It’s about getting Trisha back. It’s about walking into Michael’s fortress and making sure nothing, absolutely nothing goes wrong. I can’t afford mistakes."He crossed his arms, his expression
Kira's POV. My inside boiled as I watched Micheal dragging the crying Trisha out of the car, my baby was looking so frail and she was crying for her brothers. It hurts that I had to separate her from her brothers but it was a necessary step to get all of them to me. It must be hard for them...hard for them to see the men who had once loved them changed drastically. I thought they loved us too, they used me and sold me off when they couldn't end me, and now, they are going to use them too.. It's sickening. "Your daughter is truly beautiful." Ashton mumbled and I blinked back the tears that were threatening to fall from my eyes."She's a diva though she's not at her best now, she's looking so sick, I wonder what their mentally challenged father had done to her..." I paused and allowed the tears threatening to consume me to fall, "I'll get my children back from them and I'll take pleasure in killing them, all of them, I'll make them pay for every pain they made me and my children to g
Kira's POV. "Where's Ashton?" I asked immediately as I stepped into the mansion and Bella gave me a wide smile which immediately hinted that there was something up. "He went out to get something, welcome Madame." She said with so much joy in her voice that it confirmed my suspicion that something was up. What's Ashton planning?The last time Bella behaved like this, Ashton planned a surprise dinner for me to celebrate our conquest over some empire so what are we celebrating tonight?"He brought a dress for you, should I help you change, it's so elephant and the first of its kind, there were so many tiny diamond cuts and it's...""Hold on, Bella," I interrupted, raising a hand to stop her excited rambling. "Ashton bought me a dress?" My voice dripped with suspicion as I studied her glowing face. She was practically bouncing on her toes."Yes, Madame! It’s stunning! I’ve never seen anything like it," Bella gushed, clasping her hands together. "He told me to make sure you were ready w
Kira's POV"Wake up Kira!" Mo's urgent voice penetrated my haze but I chose to ignore her. I will not let her ruin my sleep because of some shitty prank. "There's danger, you bitch!" She growled and I shifted on my bed, sharpening all my senses but I didn't sense any danger so I didn't bother to open my eyes. Dumb wolf. "There's no danger here, bitch!" I screamed internally but she growled louder. "Fuck you! You don't feel it because you are the fucking danger, get your ass up, your powers are acting up and I can barely hold it in anymore, if I let go, you'll burn down this mansion killing everyone, get your ass up and..."I snapped my eyes open and the lighting in the room nearly blinded me but I blinked rapidly and adjusted to the light."What the fuck is going on here?!" I asked in panic and Mo let out a strangled cry. She was in pain. "Get away from the mansion, go far away from here... Rush to the forest, anywhere... Anywhere you can unwind, there's too much power that's dor
Kira's POV"Don't look at me like that, I just happen to stumble over it here." I mumbled, not used to seeing him this angry."You don't go about..." He paused and before I could question him any further, he sped and gathered the pictures, snatching the ones in my hands too. "Are you crazy?!" I asked, my anger bubbling up and I stood to face him squarely."I'm sure that's no breaking news, quit digging into my past, it... It only hurts." He gritted his teeth and looking at him, I could see the pain in his eyes and I swallowed hard. Thinking about it now, I think it's high time I ask him about his family. I only know about his moronic late father, nothing about the mother. "He doesn't look like he's in the mood to talk about anything, are you seeing the hurt in his eyes?" Mo asked but I just stared at the man in front of me and my curiosity got the better of me. I want to know... For him. For me. There's basically nothing between us apart from him helping me with my revenge, fuckin
Kira's POV. A low groan escaped me before I fling the book in my hands away, the frustration in me was threatening to consume me and my rage was making my powers unstable. Yes. Powers. Over the past few days, I have developed some weird powers I can't even explain, I'm a fucking werewolf so how was I able to use magic? "Maybe you are a hybrid." Morana chuckled and I rolled my eyes as I grabbed another ancient book that contains information about supernatural creatures to have a look. Morana's powers seemed to be growing every second, not only can she shift into different wolves, she was doing things werewolves should not be doing and she seems happy about it while I get more confused cause no books have any details about what I was exhibiting, not even hybrids. "You should be happy, the more power you have, the more chances we have against those pieces of trash you call ex husbands, can't wait to kill them." Her voice was so thrilling as she painted bloody images in my mind."Yo
Kira's POV. The sharp slap of cold water against my face did little to calm the crazy storm inside me. I gripped the sink, staring at my reflection as droplets slid down my skin. My heart pounded loudly in my chest, so hard that I felt deep contracting pain. Ashton’s words rang in my ears."You can trust me."No. Trust made you weak. Trust led to betrayal. I’d built my empire on the ashes of broken promises and deep betrayal...I wasn’t about to hand someone else the keys to my soul. Again! I took a deep breath and straightened. By the time I opened the door, my mask was firmly in place. Ashton was lounging in a chair, twirling his glass in one hand, but his eyes sharpened the second he saw me."Feel better?" he asked, though his tone was clipped."Much." I plastered on a smile and headed for the door. "Come on. I’m starving.""I'm sorry if whatever I said hurt you, you don't have to be in a hurry, I'll wait for as long as I can. I'm willing to do that just for you." He said and I cl
Kira's POV. I sat at the edge of the bed, twirling my gun in my hand, the metallic glint catching the sunlight streaming through the windows. "When are those modafuckers gonna split up already?" I groaned, running a hand through my hair. The tension in my muscles coiled tighter with each passing second. "I'm getting bored."Ashton, seated across from me, lounged with this crazy calm, his long legs stretched out as he sipped his coffee. His lips quirked into a lazy grin. "Chill, baby," he drawled, the warmth in his golden eyes softening. "Those three damned triplets trust each other like they're welded together. But cracks don’t happen overnight." He set the mug down and leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees. "The people we sent are doing their job. Let’s wait and see."I narrowed my eyes, biting the inside of my cheek. "We’ve waited long enough."Ashton stood, walked over, and took the gun from my hand, placing it gently on the desk. His touch was steady. "Kira, listen to
Kira's POV. The moment I stepped into the room, I kicked off my heels and peeled off my gown, letting it pool around my feet. The cool air kissed my skin as I moved toward the massive bathroom. The hum of the night—the blood, the fury, the triumph—clung to me like a second skin. I needed a long, scorching shower to wash away the remnants of that bastard's existence.I turned on the faucet, letting the water roar to life. Steam filled the room, wrapping around me like a warm embrace. As the heat rose, I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror—bloodstained, victorious, untouchable."I feel good," Morana cackled in my head, her voice filled with savage glee.I smiled, unable to deny the mutual satisfaction. "We deserve this victory, Mo. Every damn second of it."Her growl was soft but approving. "We do. But you know what would make this bath even better?"I froze, sensing exactly where this was going."We should wait for Ash to come join us," she purred, her tone dripping with mischief
