*Kiara's POV*
"I know Kenneth. I know why you killed my family."
They were all frozen in their seats. Unable to move, speak or even blink. I liked the effect my words gave them. It egged me on and so, I continued.
"My father was not related to you, yet he was the next in line to be Alpha. The moon goddess blessed him and moved the leadership from your family to his and when you heard about it, you knew the people would overthrow you and take him instead. So, you killed him, then killed my mother because you thought she'd spill the secret. Then you came back for my brother because he would still have the blessing to be the next Alpha and then for unknown reasons, you killed my mate too. Well let me tell you something. My brother was never a danger because he was born before my father got the blessing. I however, was born after. I'm the Alpha you wanted to kill. I've been here all along."
"Kenneth, what do we do?" Mel
*Kiara's POV*A few hours ago, I'd left Calvin to speak with Daphne and I went off to plan the make up gift I'd promised him. I didn't know what I was going to do and I literally freaked out. But after a while, I made up my mind and was pretty impressed with myself.I left his room and made my way into the kitchen. There, I asked the chef to help me prepare the same foods he'd prepared for I and Calvin's first picnic. It was where we'd first gotten to know each other. We'd laughed, we'd had heartfelt conversations we'd even played a game of "hot and cold"After about half an hour, the chef was done with it and I helped him pack everything into the basket. I took the basket to our initial spot and was off to find him. I decided to add a little effect so I decided to blindfold him on the way there. I ran back to his room and picked up one of his clean handkerchiefs and began to look for him. I asked around and they said they saw
*Calvin's POV*I watched my mate leave my sight and enter into my room. I’d thought she’d left me forever. If she had, I probably would’ve killed myself. I’d also fantasized us running into each other’s arms when I finally found her. I thought everything would be over and we’d move on with our lives but this was an extremely different turn out. My first mate (even though she rejected me) was my first chance at love. After she died, I felt like I'd lost my whole world. I felt like my heart had been snatched out of me and then I met Kiara. Someone I’d known for only a day and had asked to be my girlfriend. The moment she glared at me so coldly it felt like my heart was crushed and stepped on over and over again. I mean, it's literally been just a day. I met her today, we had our picnic today, she fainted today, she woke up and asked to see Kenneth today and it’s only been a few hours since I’d asked her to be my girlfriend and unfortunately, I managed to break h
*Kiara's POV*I watched Cal leave my room with a heavy heart. He'd asked me if I loved him and I just froze and after my little show, I'd asked him to leave.Everything was just so upsidedown and I didn't even know where or how to begin. Even True felt my grief. Well, it was our grief so, of course she felt it. I didn't want to deprive him of sleep again so I did my best to stop thinking about him and sleep which after a few minutes, I did.I closed the door, walked to my bed with tears still streaming down my face and collapsed on the bed. How did everything get so wrong so quickly? Daphne, Calvin...and then I remembered Kenneth. Kenneth who'd tried to make me a deal. A deal which I hadn't replied to. He'd said when Daphne left but I...correction, we'd missed that meeting.My head started to pound a little and I felt like something was drawing me into sleep. It was a familiar sensation. I lay comfortably in m
*Calvin's POV*Kiara and I stood at the doorway of my room, still hugging each other tightly. My shirt was wet from her tears but I didn't care. It felt like it was just us in that moment, like, nothing else existed and it was beautiful. Some would've called it cheesy but the love I had for her, could last for an infinite number of moons and it would keep on burning brighter and brighter. Never dimming, not even once!We held on to each other for what felt like forever, it felt like eternity or an infinite number of moons. Go ahead, keep on calling me cheesy, I don't even care anymore. I could as well just say, hey, I'm Calvin and I don't give a fuck what you think cause this woman is the love of my life and I'm madly in love with her.Eventually, we pulled apart and as I looked straight into her teary eyes, she looked right back into mine and even with her swollen eyes and lips and red cheeks, she still looked like the most beautif
*Kiara's POV*I and Diane just made up. Heaven knows I'm still a bit weary around her. It's weird you know, making up with someone that fast but I guess when someone is connected to your wolf, it's that easy. Just like the mate bond only a bit different but something within me doesn't still trust her completely. Besides, this occasion must be treated with respect. Speaking of the occasion, I haven't really been paying attention."What's going on?" I asked Diane."Well, Kenneth's speech is over so, I guess it's time for the Chief Councillor to hand over to Calvin." She replied."Who's the Chief Councillor?""Like, there's this council that controls everything concerning the wolves and every 10 years, a new Chief comes up. I heard that they're all super mean assholes."I couldn't help but laugh at her comment but I had to bend my head and cover my mouth to do so. I continued paying at
*Kiara's POV*Two days had passed, there still hadn't been an attack. I was worried sick because I didn't know what was going to happen. I didn't even know how or when it was going to happen. All I knew was that Kenneth was coming for us. He'd sworn revenge exactly before he'd left the ceremonial hall with all his followers. By the time I, Calvin and the others had left the room and walked into the house again, we saw our (Calvin, Kiara, Diane, Jackson and Andrea's) bags waiting for us with all our belongings packed neatly for us. Everything was there, everything single thing.Turns out Andrea wasn't just strong and smart, she was also stinkin' rich. I mean richer than the whole Lynx pack. I asked why she chose to become third-in-command to an Alpha like Kenneth when she could very well buy him to use as a footstool or carpet even. She answered simply by saying it was her choice to fight or something like that, sa
*Kiara's POV*Kenneth was here.His followers and army were here.The war was here.Just the thought made me shiver. I closed the window and ran back to our planning room only to find everyone in the same state that I was - in shock. Almost as soon as I opened my mouth did Andrea snap everyone back to normal with a shout of "hey!" I walked towards her and asked her,"What do we do?""We get you prepared" she replied."There isn't enough time for that we'll never make it" I said."Kiara, if there's one thing I know that got me here today, it's never saying never"I looked into her gleaming eyes and sure enough, I found the hope I was searching for."Okay" I said. "Let's do this""Good" she replied.She grabbed mine and Calvin's hands, who had just arrived and she ran. Suddenly, we skidded to a stop as she shouted to
A/N: At a point in this chapter, point of view will change. I just want to explain properly to y'all before you start reading. We're going to start with Kiara then later, we'll switch to Calvin but we'll start his part from the very beginning of this chapter. Y'all probably confused now but I'll find a way to simplify it when you get there but for now, byeeee😗✌🏾*Kiara's POV*Hand in hand, we raced through the halls desperate to reach the field as soon as possible. True, who hadn't been in out in days was practically scratching my brain. I let her anger, worry, agitation and every other feeling wash over me without wasting another second and immediately, I shifted. I looked to my side to see Calvin who had also shifted. Guess "the big bad wolf" wanted to come out to play.With us being in our wolf forms, we dashed out of the building and in accordance, jumped right into battle. We hadn't mated b
