*Kiara's POV*
It's been two hours since the dinner began and I still had no plan. It started at 7:00pm and it was to end at 12:00am, midnight which meant that I had less than three hours to get a plan and ruin this dinner one way or another. But it had to be done neatly, so I wouldn't be suspected.
Gradually, it started to come to me. I didn't need something big, all I needed was to give the Alpha the true details about the pack and hopefully, he would deter from trying to make an alliance. But how in the world was I supposed to do that? I had no idea, but I knew each that time was running out.
*****************************************
*Unknown's POV*
They're trying to form an alliance with another pack. But I know that's not the truth. They'll slither into the pack and take control of it. They'll have more property, more servants and they'll be richer than ever. They've done this before and they're planning t
*Kiara's POV*"Mate" we both said.The owner of the voice stepped into the light and I felt hot all over. Was it his brown hair, his broad chest, his pink lips, was it those muscular arms that I just wanted to run into or was it those bright stunning eyes? I didn't know which I loved most but everything about this man captivated me. He looked straight into my eyes and I gladly stared right into his. He looked away from me and was back in business."Well, well, what do we have here?" Dwayne taunted."Stay away from my mate, Dwayne" my mate said firmly but gently. He didn't want to fight him.He was a peacemaker. Huh. Hot and peaceful."Aww, come on bro, I was just about to have a little fun with her" Dwayne replied.My mate let out a growl in annoyance. He didn't like being toyed with. Another interesting fact."Come on, C
*Kiara's POV*I stepped out of the room and made my way out of the mansion and into the garden. I hadn't been out here in ages. This used to be my morning chore spot but after you know who died...well, I guess you remember.The garden was maze like. It had winding ends and each line was a different flower on it's own. They were beautiful to walk along but in the dead center, it was the justmost beautiful sight to see.I walked towards the maze of flowers, looking for Calvin. I'd searched and searched and I couldn't find him."Calvin? Dude, where are you?""Keep looking"I kept looking and started to feel frustrated"I still can't see you" I groaned out."I see you took my gift""Where the hell are you?""You look really pretty""Answer my question!"
*Kiara's POV*As I walked through the hallway, guards and maids greeted me with the new title Calvin had put in their mouths. It was new and you'd think it was every servants dream to have the kind of turnaround I did. But honestly, this was not my jam. I didn't even know how to reply to them. I looked at my mate with a panicked expression and he laughed at me. He actually laughed at me. I was so tired at that moment that it seemed like everything was in doubles. I'd just thrown up a while ago and now all this attention? I knew that I couldn't keep walking so I decided to look for a way to draw Calvin's attention.I tugged at his wrist the moment I felt my legs failing. Luckily, he got the message and caught me just before I hit the ground. He adjusted me in his arms before continuing his walk through the hall and as I closed my eyes, I let a wave of black wash over me.*****************************************I fo
*Kiara's POV*I looked up at Calvin in utter shock and confusion."How is that even possible? I am so confused right now. You're their son? Their actual son. I mean now that I think about it you do kinda look like Kenneth...wait""What?""Doesn't that mean you were born after they adopted the twins?""Yes""Well then, even after all that, shouldn't you still be the Alpha? I mean, that's the rule, isn't it? The Alpha position should go to the first born child.""First born son actually and how is it a rule if it isn't written?"I growled at his answer. It wasn't only men who could be Alphas. Gender didn't matter, in fact, gender should be the very last thing when considering an Alpha. Nonetheless, I replied him."It's an unwritten rule, obviously""True but..."I stopped talking and I felt a hard pou
*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
