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. "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. "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. 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. 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. "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. 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."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"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
