Kira, clutching her throat with her hand, trying to gasp for air, quickly started moving away from the bed on seeing the way Bryan and Aiden were acting. Bryan had turned to look at her, but his eyes were just the same as Aiden's.As the fear set in, her chest heaved while she tried to take deep breaths, she gulped and made small noises from the discomfort she felt around her throat. Quickly her eyes, moving around the room, Kira begins to crawl away from the center of the bed, panicking.As she crawled, looking for somewhere to hide, a way to protect herself from the confusing thing that was happening at the moment, she ended up losing her balance and falling off the edge of the bed with a loud thud."Oww", she managed to say, rubbing her butt, but she made sure she was as quiet as possible, not wanting to draw any attention.In no time, she scrambles to the space between the bed and the floor, pulling herself into a tight position in a form of protection. She pressed her back again
Going to get themselves chained up, Aiden asked, "Is Kira going to be okay? I really did not mean to hurt her."Bryan sighed, "I know, and she will be fine, don't worry, let's just get through this first, and we will check up on her, she's not alone right now either.""Alright, let's do that", Aiden nodded in agreement, satisfied with Bryan's answers and most, especially the fact that Kira was not alone.With their mind at ease, they focused on their situation and according to the information given to them by the witch, the work of the injection was to help control their curse, also to reduce the frequency or intensity of the curse. It could also make it more bearable for them.And also a warning from the witch was they would need to chain themselves up after taking the injection just to be on the safer side as the effects of the injection is unpredictable, and they could lose control during the process. Chaining themselves up is a way to prevent themselves from harming others and th
Aiden and Bryan left the room, making sure the door was properly locked. "Alphas", the guards and maids greeted as they walked past them, heading to Kira's room.When they finally arrived, Aiden knocked softly on the door, as he and Bryan both waited. The door opened, and they were met with their mother, Elara."How is she?", Aiden immediately asked his mother who let out a sigh."Are you both not supposed to be careful? How could it get this far?", Elara asked them.She understood what they were going through, she knew about it, but she just wanted what was best for them and Kira as well. She did not want them to ruin things with Kira, especially as it was already ruined. Now this whole stuff just added more problems."How is she going to accept you both now? How?", Elara scolded them, her voice low but sharp, "She has not even forgiven you or us, our family, the pack, she still wants to leave, this does not help in getting her to stay and accept you both as her mate.""Then we wil
Kira kept pondering the thought."I always thought I was different or rather weird. Yes, that should be the right word, weird. Not ever going through heat cycles as an Omega, even after I reached eighteen years, nothing changed," she said to herself and hummed, still pondering."Well in a way, it's good", she finally concluded and gave in, "At least I know I'm normal and can go through heat cycles now," She relaxed her head."That definitely does not mean I asked for this, I am sure I could have figured it out on my own anyway", she said immediately, looking up. That message was absolutely for the one above, the one who is responsible for their creation."Was not even worried about it before, which made me forget that there is a possibility I could get into heat since it never happened, and it just had to happen exactly when those two were there…tsk.""And then what we did afterward...", Kira trailed off a bit at that part. She had totally forgotten what had happened while she was in
The Blood Moon Pack has been allied with the Crescent Pack for about two to three years now. Although the Crescent Pack, Alpha Aiden and Alpha Bryan's Pack ranks way higher than the Blood Moon Pack.The Crescent Pack was the most feared pack, especially with them having the firstborn Twin Alphas in centuries.Alpha Lucien was twenty-four years old. Older than the Alpha twins with a year. He was also a powerful Alpha, tall, muscular, broad shoulders and had green eyes.He smiled as he walked in, seeing his Alpha twin ally that he hadn't seen for like a year now, "Good to see you both again."Bryan and Aiden got up and they shook hands."The feeling is mutual," Bryan said, with a short chuckle.They were not sure if Alpha Lucien was considered a friend to them, but he was an ally. Were they close? Maybe or perhaps not."Please, have a seat", Aiden gestured to the seat in front of Lucien, "Would you like something to drink?""Of course", Lucien nodded, taking a seat."I will get the drin
A soft, polite knock interrupted the silence in Kira's room."Can't I just have some alone time? Is that challenging to understand?", Kira asked herself with a soft sigh."Who is it?", she questioned the person who was knocking."It is I, Luna", the person answered, and Kira recognized the voice. It was the same maid who had come to her, to inform her about breakfast in the morning."What is she here for now? Did they send for me?", Kira asked herself but let the maid in, "Come in."The door creaked open to reveal a maid. The maid bowed and greeted, "Good evening, Luna.""Luna?", Kira scoffed in her mind, "Yeah, right!""Good evening," Kira answered though, "Mmm is there a problem?""No, Luna, I just came to inform you that Dinner is being served," the maid announced with another respectful bow, her voice gentle but clear."Mmm…okay, thank you," Kira said to the maid with a soft smile.The maid left afterward.Kira got up, but she was tense as she glanced towards the door. She hesitat
A sharp, piercing ringing echoed through their ears, like a knife scraping against their skulls. They winced in unison, the pain brief but intense.Bryan and Aiden looked at each other as soon as the painful ringing sound in their head disappeared, their jaws clenched.Aiden inquired, his voice calm and firm, "I choose to believe you heard it too, brother." He exhaled slowly, his eyes boring into Bryan's, seeking confirmation.Bryan paused, collecting his thoughts, "I did." "I need to go for a run," Aiden told Bryan, releasing a pent-up breath.Bryan nodded in assent, "Me too."At the same time, Kira was feeling better than before. She hesitated a bit but found herself heading towards the dining room.There Bryan's and Aiden's parents, Elara and Orion, were already seated; however, they had not started eating yet."Sorry for being late", Kira uttered quietly."It is alright, sit," Orion said to her.Kira nodded and sat down."Where are Bryan and Aiden? They should be here by now?", E
Bryan and Aiden laughed as they headed back home after their run."It is definitely a draw because you cannot say you got there before me. Either I did or we did at the same time," Aiden said to Bryan."A draw it is", Bryan chuckled. "Definitely not letting you have the win.""Your soul knows who the real winner is," Aiden said, raising his hand in surrender. Acting dramatic, "With that said, I rest my case.""So, are we going to do the stuff tonight?" Bryan chuckled and asked Aiden, changing the topic."We should, the sooner, the better", Aiden concurred."And we missed dinner", Bryan suddenly remembered. "I am sure everyone is done with dinner by now and in their rooms.""True."Getting in, they had the maids serve them and had their dinner alone, just the both of them. They also asked a maid about Kira and their parents. The maid informed them that Kira and their parents had indeed had dinner and went to their various rooms right after.The instant they were done with their dinner,
Kira didn't move after Baba Razz disappeared. She simply remained there, kneeling on the ground as her legs grew numb beneath her. Her hands were now rested on her lap, stained with Baba Razz's blood, her mind scattered and overloaded. Flashes of everything that had just happened kept replaying in her mind, and for that moment, she knew she needed to stay put, at least just for a little while before she would get up.There was too much to do, too much to understand, and too much to process. She felt that if she tried to figure everything all at once, she might be a danger to her own mind.She lowered her head, staring at her blood stained hands and where Baba Razz had been. He was gone now, completely gone, and she was all alone again.Kira sat there for what felt like an eternity, that even blinking her eyes seemed to have stopped. It was like her brain was trying to arrange everything into their given folders, process it all and then bring out to her what she had to do next, even
Everything was still except for the soft rustling of leaves settling back to the ground as Kira's chest rose and fell heavily.Her hands trembled, and her brown eyes, which had glowed, returned to normal.She had no idea what had just happened, and she had no time to think.Because—Baba Razz.Quickly, she turned back to him, his body feeling limp in her arms."Baba Razz," Kira whispered, her voice cracking as she pressed harder against his throat, desperate. "Can you hold on? I want to go get some help," she asked him, even though she knew he didn't have much time.Baba Razz's eyelids fluttered open, and he weakly reached up, touching her hands with his."No, no, no," Kira begged, tears already dripping from her eyes and onto his shirt. "I can find help in time. Baba Razz, please, you can't. You still owe me, you—you promised to listen to me, remember? I am not done bullying you." She tried to force a smile, assuring him that he would be fine, but her voice kept breaking.Baba Razz's
Kira stared at Baba Razz dumbfounded. She decided to wait a bit, thinking, "Maybe that's not the end." But when he didn't continue and stared back at her, she sat up straight and asked. "Don't tell me… that's the end?""Yes. The end," Baba Razz answered casually. "Do you mind getting me another glass of water?" He added."I do… very much mind," Kira responded, her eyes still wide from how dumbfounded she was. "You are not getting any water with that ending of yours. Lilith could not have possibly died like that.""Well, she did. She died. Just like that," he said, knowing fully well it didn't sit well with her. "I said I would try to make it a happy ending, but we don't always get what we want now, do we?""I guess we don't," Kira answered after some minutes of letting his words sink in, his words reminding her of her own situation. "But still, if there is a chance for a happy ending, we should take it.""We should," Baba Razz agreed. "Now, do I get that glass of water?" He asked aga
Footsteps."Good morning, Baba Razz," Kira greeted from where she stood in the kitchen when she heard him walk into the living room."Good morning, Kira. Hope you had a good rest," he replied as he sat down on his chair."I did, thank you and you?" She asked, while she moved around the kitchen, doing goddess knows what."Same. My night was good; thank you, and what are you doing?" Baba Razz inquired, although he was already aware of what she was doing, but still."Heating up yesterday's leftovers for breakfast," She answered. "That is okay, right? Come and sit; breakfast is served.""You didn't even give me a chance to answer if it's okay or not," Baba Razz muttered as he got up and went to the dining table, taking his seat."Okay... I will just have yours then," Kira said and reached out to take his bowl, but he stopped her, giving her a look that said, "Clearly, I'm just joking."Scoffing, Kira took her seat. "I thought you weren't hungry," she said. "I could have just added that t
Kira watched as Baba Razz left the room, heading into his bedroom. She remained standing as she waited for him while wondering what he was up to. Seconds passed, then minutes. She was about to go check if he was okay since he was taking too long, but then he came out carrying a medium-sized foam—just big enough to fit the not-too-big space of his cabin's living room."Help me move those carved chairs and the table," he said to her, the foam balanced in his arms.Kira showed no hesitation and moved the chairs and the table against the wall, allowing enough space in the center of the room.Once the space was clear, Baba Razz placed the foam on the floor with a small grunt. He pressed down afterward on it slightly, wanting to make sure it was settled properly and comfortable enough.Quietly, after he was done, he turned and walked back into his bedroom, and just as soon as he went in, he came back out with a pillow tucked under one arm and a blanket draped over the other. "Here," he s
Kira gave a grateful nod to Baba Razz and made her way to the door he had pointed to. When she reached, she opened the bathroom door, stepped inside and closed it behind her. The space was small but functional. It had the necessary things a bathroom should have despite it being small, and it was also stocked with basic toiletries, which Kira was grateful for. It was like Baba Razz had already prepared everything she would need before she even arrived."I wonder what he is," Kira whispered to herself as she set her belongings down, getting ready to shower.After a few minutes, she was done. She reached for her towel where she hung it, cleaned her body, wore her fresh clothes, and then hung the towel back; her sponge already hung too.As she stepped out of the bathroom, a delicious, savory aroma filled her nostrils. She could perceive the scent of roasted meat, simmering spices and freshly baked bread.The scent was unmistakably inviting, and her stomach rumbled softly in response to
Kira didn't stop walking even when she noticed she was being followed. She noticed the person was very quiet and knew how to remain quiet, but their presence was still close enough for her to know that they were there.She tightened her grip on her bags; her senses heightened. Instead of creating awareness and acting like she knew she was being followed, she slowed her breathing.As she did that, she adjusted her head slightly, tilting it as if she was listening to the soft sounds of the woods and enjoying the soft breeze. But, at the corner of her eye, she caught a faint glimpse of the person."What are they doing?" She asked herself inwardly, as she was already expecting the person to attack, but it didn't seem like the person was going too or was trying hard enough to remain invisible. "Or are they trying to follow me to my destination? Hmm.""Amateur," she thought while still walking as she shifted her grip, preparing herself. Then, as quick as ever, she let the bags drop to the g
Kira, seated in the back seat, became exhausted from all the crying. She had put on her dark shades to cover her eyes, not wanting to draw any attention to herself when she boards her flight.She had cried the entire way, and now that they had gotten to the airport, she tried to calm herself, although her trembling lips slightly gave her away.Ryker, who had been driving, sighed heavily as he put the car in park, stopping at the drop-off area of the airport. He stepped out of the car silently, the night air welcoming him.Opening the trunk, he carefully pulled out Kira's bags. The bags were large, but she had packed a few things. Bryan and Aiden had insisted on setting up a bank account for her and filling it with more money than she would have ever expected, and even when she had resisted, not wanting to accept it, they wouldn't take no for an answer.Now, finances were not a problem for her. She would not have to worry about that for a long time.Standing by the car after placing t
Leaving Morane's home some minutes after Kira had left the pack, Bryan and Aiden stepped into the mansion, their faces cold and holding no emotion. They walked in like they were robots controlled by a remote.Elara and Orion, who stood waiting in the hallway, spotted them as they walked in, and Elara's hands fidgeted nervously. She could already sense the pain within her sons and tried to reach out to them."Darling…" She called softly, her voice trembling as she reached for Bryan, but he walked past her without a word, like he couldn't see her."Aiden," Orion called out, his voice firm but filled with concern. But Aiden did the same, not answering and just walking."I don't know about this," Elara said to Orion as she watched her sons climb the stairs. "I really don't know.""They need time," Orion said, placing a comforting hand on Elara's shoulder, his expression showing how worried he was. "Everything will be fine."Reaching the top, Bryan walked straight to the bedroom, entered i
