Scarred Luna Alpha Xander
Kieran’s POV A smile tugged at my lips as I made my way down the stairs, taking them two at a time. I ran my fingers along the smooth surface of the banisters that curled downwards to the floor below. As I continued my descent, a small hum slid past my lips. I couldn't exactly tell why I was particularly happy, but that had been my life ever since I arrived at the Deathshade pack. Contrary to how I felt upon my arrival, I'd settled in quite well and just like Sabrina had said, it wasn't such a bad place to live after all. My eyes roamed the hallways as I got to the foot of the stairs. Bright lights hung up on each side cast a warm glow against the tiled floors, adding a glimt to the wallpaper. I had lost count of the number of times I'd gone through this hallway because it connected a major part of the rooms in the mansion, but no matter how many times I'd walked through here, I still found myself in total awe of the entire place. I was currently headed to the garden. Right no
Scarred Luna Escape Gone Wrong
Kieran’s POV.Shit. There was no way this could be happening. Of all the million things that could happen to me, why did the moon goddess have to choose this? I was aware that fate was inevitable and sometimes we really just had to leave our happy endings in the hands of nature and believe that everything would turn around for the better, but as I stared at the man in front of me, I wasn't too sure about that saying. I gulped loudly. No matter how many times the words seemed to ring in my head, it did nothing to change anything. This was real. Alpha Xander was my fucking mate. No,no,no. Right now, I would accept anything else asides this. Anything at all. If I had to face the revelation that Alpha Xander was my mate or to eat hot coal, then, I would gladly pick the latter. Why would the moon goddess think I needed another mate? I had barely gotten over what the first one did to me, so there was no way I was looking forward to another one. A small tremor spread through my body as
Scarred Luna Mine
Xander’s POV. A cool breeze blew by rustling the trees in the distance. Up ahead, the moon cast its warm glow above the earth, illuminating everything under its wake. Stars twinkled in the background, like tiny specs against a pitch black canvas. The sight was beautiful and I could get lost out here if I stayed here long enough, but no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't distract myself from the matter at hand. I'd found my mate.If I hadn't experienced it earlier today, I would have said it was a silly prank from someone, probably Sabrina. Or perhaps, I'd been worn out by my long travels and I was beginning to hallucinate and see things. All my life, I'd yearned for my mate. I spent a good portion of my life praying and pleading to the moon goddess to grant me my fair share of happiness, but she never did. I even went as far as offering rituals and traveling far and wide for the one destined for me. At least, if she couldn't come to me, I would make things easier for her
Scarred Luna Close Call
Kieran’s POV A shudder raked through my body, causing goosebumps to follow suit. No matter how hard I tried to keep my body and it's reactions in check, it just didn't work. In fact, it felt like the more I tried, the more worse it became.I pressed my eyes shut, not knowing what else to do. Even that didn't help one bit. Instead, I felt my heartbeat pick up its pace, the vital organ threatening to tear its way through my skin. Maybe that wouldn't be such a bad thing. Perhaps if that happened,I would finally get a hold of my senses again and know the right thing to do. Maybe. Right now, it all felt like wishful thinking. My mind fought against it, but my body gave in to it willingly. I felt the hairs at the back of my neck stand on end immediately. I gasped and my breath hitched in my throat as he pressed his lips close to my ear lobes. Who, you might ask?Alpha Xander.I willed my mind to not focus on what was happening right now,no matter how impossible it seemed to be. I press
Scarred Luna Dining Tension
Kieran’s POV I took the stairs one at a time as my feet slowly went in front of the other. Usually, it was standard practice for me to always race down the stairs, but for some strange reason today, I just wasn't feeling it. I ran my fingers along the banisters as my thoughts went into a million directions all at once. No matter how hard I ttied to focus, I just couldn't do it. Why? Because a particular thought kept on haunting my consciousness.Xander.If I was being honest, up until this moment, everything still felt like a dream. A beautiful dream I wasn't sure I wanted to wake up from. I subconsciously brought my fingers to my lips and a shudder rushed through my veins immediately. That was how Xander had touched me last night.Shit.I shook my head immediately, willing the thoughts to go away, but they didn't. Instead, it lingered at the back of my hand. With his tall and broad physique, one would think Alpha Xander was as rough as anything, but the man who gazed into my sou
Scarred Luna More Trouble
Kieran’s POVI sat on my bed in my room, as I allowed the comfort from the duvet seep into my skin. It was comfy and all, but still wasn't enough to take my mind off what was bothering me. In fact, the more I tried to get rid of it, the more those thoughts kept crawling back into my mind.One would think after three days, I would have forgotten about it or at least tried to get over it. But that was the biggest lie of the century. If anything, my obsession with it had gotten worse and if I didn't find a solution to it soon, I would be on the verge of running mad.A huge sigh slipped past my lips as I scanned the room I was in. It looked exactly the way it looked before, but there was something missing. Sabrina hadn't been here in three days. Three good days. The memories of our last interaction replayed in my head. If I was being honest, that was actually the first time I was seeing a different side to the woman. How could someone who was always so cheerful switch up in the twinkle o
Scarred Luna A Due Apology
Kieran’s POV Growing up, I always thought I was cursed. I mean, what else could explain all the torture I'd been going through since the beginning of time? I'd realized it and accepted it to be the truth. That way, it made my view of everything I was passing through less painful. All I did was tell myself that none of the things happening to me were my fault and I would be okay again.Lies.Honestly, I stopped thinking about it, and the moment Sabrina welcomed me with open arms, I genuinely thought that would be the end of it all. The end of my suffering, and an avenue to try to forget the kind of life I lived before. But I guess fate was a really tricky player and somehow I always found myself on the wrong side of life. If that ant hadn't run over my foot the other day, nobody would have known I was eavesdropping on their conversation and I would be able to go with my activities like every other day, without the constant thought of why Sabrina decided to switch up on me.I could s
Scarred Luna The Guest
Kieran’s POV I knew I should be happy that we'd finally addressed the elephant in the room, but for some strange reason, that feeling never came. I tried forcing it, but it still wasn't natural. I was troubled, and I couldn't place my finger on it as to why I felt that way. After Sabrina's apology, everything quickly went back to normal. We were back to our old selves, almost like we had been speaking to each other in the last few days. It was surprising how quickly we fell back into our old ways. Apparently, I'd missed out on a lot of tea circulating around the mansion. Since Sabrina had some sort of authority over the house, she was the first to know about even the tiniest details. Usually, it was the other way around but reverse was the case for Sabrina. The moment Xander excused himself from my room, we started talking. Our laughs and talks didn't end till late in the night and before Sabrina left, it had come to my knowledge that one of the maids in the mansion was in a relat

Scarred Luna The Ball
Kieran's POV Breathe Kieran, breathe. I tried to calm myself and loosen my airway. But it wasn't working. I couldn't breathe. No matter how hard I tried, I struggled. My palms felt clammy and I felt hot all over. Were my clothes too tight? Was it just me or was it hot in here? I suddenly felt like the fabric of my dress had become three times heavier. If that were true, then it would make sense why I was suddenly feeling so heavy and on the verge of passing out. Breathe. I chanted the word in my head over and over again, but one look at the crowd was all it took to take away the little relief I had managed to get a hold of. A million and one eyes stared at me, each one of them judging, their mouths whispering. It was easy to tell what they were thinking though, they all wanted to know who I was. Who was this “Luna”? I wasn't royalty myself, but I had served under them long enough to know how they functioned. At functions like this, the only reason why they were so eager to fi
Scarred Luna Blinding Rage
Sabrina's POVThe sound of my heels clicking against the floors was faint, but it didn't exactly matter. The steady hum of loud music that was coming from the live band was all the sound I needed to hear. Not only was it melodious, it signaled the fact that what I had been looking up to for quite the longest time, was going to be coming into fruition today, and I couldn't wait. I was so excited, it made me wonder how I hadn't burst into my mini victory dance yet. As I walked, I caught a fleeting glance of myself on a glass surface and I couldn't help the huge smile that made its way to my lips. I was clad in a silver dress that hugged my torso firmly, before flowing down from my waist and settling on the tip of my toes. My heels elevated me a bit, giving the dress a kind of floating effect. The dress' edges were hemmed with a white flowery lace that matched the flower pastels scattered around my dress. To top it all off, the dress had a flattering neckline that left nothing to the i
Scarred Luna Alpha and Luna
Kieran’s POV I wriggled in my seat as the brush swept around my cheeks. The up down movement of the brush sent tickles spreading throughout my face, but I fought the urge to laugh out loud. If I did, I was sure I was going to ruin all of the artists' entire three hours of work, and if that happened, there was no way she was going to be pleased with it. Of course, she wouldn't dare voice it out, because she was there under the command of Xander, her King. But still, there was no way I would feel good after ruining it all, even if it was a little smudge. That and the fact that if I shifted too much, she was going to have to start all over again and I definitely didn't have the patience to sit here for three more hours. I wrung my fingers together, trying desperately to ignore the knots tying and unfurling in the pit of my stomach. No matter what I did or how many breathing exercises I did, it did nothing to help. Instead, the more I tried, the more my anxiety levels went up the roof.
Scarred Luna A Warning
Xander's POV She had to be joking. I was currently in front of my mother's study in the palace and she quite literally just closed the door in my face and told me to wait until she was done with the person inside. In her free time, she liked to tend to the personal problems of the people. As demeaning or rude she seemed, she was a big problem solver. But right now, I didn't care about any of that. I clenched my jaw in frustration. If it were just any other person, I would have their head. But it was my mother. I breathed to steady myself. Relax, Xander. A few maids passed, busy with the preparations. They stopped to greet me, snapping me out of my calming session, before they went about their day. It made me wonder the kind of thoughts that must have run through their minds. They would think their King was mad, especially since I was muttering to myself. Shit. I let out an exasperated breath, before pinching the bridge of my nose. I glanced at the door in front of me. It was a hug
Scarred Luna Question Answered
Kieran's POV“Is that what you thought we were? Why would you ever think that?!” she asked and I was so lost. All those months… that wasn't friendship?“But-”“We're not friends, Kieran.” She cut me off yet again. “Never were, and never will be. You were helpless and I stepped in. I gave you food, shelter and everything you ever needed, and what did I get? You try to steal Xander from me?” She said and I was taken aback. “I didn't steal him. He was never yours!” I exclaimed and she raised her hand to slap me but I swatted it sway. She looked surprised. “If you hated me in the first place, why did you take me in?” I asked and she huffed. Her face was so red by now, I thought she was going to burst. “Because I didn't think you would overstay your welcome. Do you not have any shame?!” she said and I felt so offended. “You told me I could stay. Every single time I wanted to leave, you wanted me to stay” I said, confusion clouding my features. I thought mere words couldn't hurt me an
Scarred Luna Cut Off
Kieran's POV I always heard that fate could be a bitch and it could bite you in the places you never saw coming. I believed it, especially after everything I had been through in life. From my early years in my previous pack, I had a first hand share of what it felt like to be on the wrong side of fate. I counted myself lucky when I finally escaped there and I was more than grateful to have stumbled upon the next set of people I considered family. It was stupid of me to think that the moon goddess and every other deity in charge of my destiny was done with my story. I should have known that it was only a matter of time before they would strike again, and just when I had thought my stupid fate wouldn't rear its ugly head again, I realized I couldn't be more wrong. A low breeze rustled,pulling me back to the present. The first thing I came face to face with, was the face of the woman in front of me. A part of me hoped she would have disappeared by now. I thought problems could disapp
Scarred Luna Cold Shoulder
Kieran's POV A small yawn slid past my lips as I slowly opened my eyes. Despite taking my sweet time before opening them and sitting up, my eyes still felt tired. I couldn't help the fact that I was still so sleepy. Without giving it much thought, I allowed myself to crumble back into the bed again.A small smile made its way to my lips as my head came in contact with my pillow. It wasn't the fluffiest, but I could say it knew the exact times I needed comfort, like right now. I sighed satisfactorily as I closed my eyes. Before they flew open in shock.I had caught sight of the small alarm clock beside my bed. I stared in shock as the neon green lights brightened before me. I felt my heart thump to the ground. Shit. I jerked up, almost falling over. I was still seated, but my eyes ran a million miles at once, scouring through my room. Once again, my eyes landed on the clock and I still couldn't believe my eyes. I was late. Honestly, just saying I was ‘late’ sounded like a big u
Scarred Luna Cover Up
Kieran's POV Even after Xander had walked away, I just couldn't bring myself to move from the spot I was rooted to. The wind was blowing even more harshly and I was freezing, but I couldn't bring myself to care. Goosebumps trailed the surface of my skin, and no matter how hard I rubbed against my arm, it did nothing to shake away the cold. Perhaps it was just the shock. The fact that despite how hard I thought I hid, Xander still found me. I would be lying if I said the thought of our paths crossing again didn't flicker in and out of my mind. Whenever it did, I was quick to push them away because I couldn't bear the thought of him. It hurt too much to think about him, and I had decided to choose myself. I had sworn that I was going to do things that would only benefit me. I had even made myself chant that if I saw Xander, I would turn away immediately and make a run for it. Then why did I not only go to him again, but waited till he was done talking? We had a whole ass conversatio
Scarred Luna The Reunion
“No, I don't” My voice was cold. I knew he wasn't lying. Of course I believed him but I was angry. I was so angry that I was treated that way by his family. And I didn't want to seem like the weak idiot I was. “Kieran.” His voice was barely a whisper. “Tell me something first. Did my mother and Sabrina have a hand in you running away? Did they do something behind my back?” he asked and I raised a brow. “Are you even asking me that right now?” I shot back. Thanks to the memory of that fateful day rushing to my mind, it was easy to channel all of the anger straight to him. “You were there every single time it happened. Both your mother and Sabrina hurled insults at me, just because I was- hmm, how did she put it ‘trash’ and a ‘rogue’, and you just stood there without saying a word” I said accusingly. I was seething with rage. I watched Xander's lips part slightly, but before he could get any more words out, I interrupted him. “Not one word.” I cut him off. “When I wanted you to
