The werewolf curse, a legacy of the origin of werewolves, was what defined their existence. To trigger this curse, one would have to have killed someone. It does not matter whether it was a mistake or not, when once one has killed someone, your curse is automatically activated or rather triggered.Not everyone in Packs have triggered their curse yet, like kids, teenagers, and so on, but it will happen because it was meant to happen, no matter how long it takes or how long one tries to avoid it. And for those who have not triggered their curse yet, they don't transform on the full moon until their curse is triggered. So until then, they remain unaffected.But one can feel when their inner wolf is with them, especially when they have turned eighteen and they can also smell their mate. The werewolf curse is sure as hell tricky and can be confusing at times.Many werewolves decide to trigger their curse on their own, intentionally, no mistakes, so they can train and be able to learn contr
Walking into the room, Bryan and Aiden saw that Kira was still awake. She just laid down on the bed, the light on while reading a book and eating some snacks."You never change, do you? So stubborn," Bryan chuckled and shook his head, making her smile as she continued to read her book."Just want to finish this chapter, then I will attend to you both," she informed them, her eyes still fixed on her book, as if she had not been the one waiting for them."Isn't that interesting," Aiden chuckled as he and Bryan cleaned up and got into something comfortable for the night, joining her in bed.They gave her time to finish her chapter and in some minutes she was done. She marked the chapter, closed her book and put it down on the drawer, giving them all her attention."So how did it go? Is everything okay?" She asked them, wanting to know what had happened."Yes, everything is fine now, but we know you will still want to know what happened, so this is what happened."They started explaining
Kira's face lit up as she felt soft kisses on her cheeks. She blushed, her eyes still closed knowing that it was Bryan and Aiden who were using kisses to wake her up."Good morning," she murmured, her eyes finally fluttering open and her voice still raspy with sleep."Morning baby. You have got training this morning, so no more snoozing," Aiden whispered, his hand gently brushing her hair. "You can't learn how to fight while lying in bed, and you personally told us to wake you up on time," Bryan added, watching her stir more awake."Alright, alright. I'm getting up," she said, stretching her arms over her head, yawning softly. "But you both were the ones who kept me up all night, can't even have mercy on me." Kira said to them with a teasing smile as she got up, headed to the bathroom first to brush and wash her face.Bryan and Aiden watched her quietly, admiring her as she came out and moved to the wardrobe. Kira could feel their gazes on her as she picked out her training clothes.
Bryan's jaw clenched, but his eyes stayed cold and unflinching."Funny," Bryan replied, his voice smooth, almost amused. "We could say the same about you."The five vampires exchanged glances, smirking as if they found the situation entertaining. The one who had spoken first stepped forward. "We didn't come here to fight," he said, though there was this burning hunger in his eyes. "Just thought we had to give you a little warning."Aiden's lip curled slightly in a half-smile. "A warning?" he repeated, almost mocking as he raised his brow at them. "Is that supposed to scare us?"One of the vampires shifted forward, wanting to strike. But the leader of the group, the one who had spoken first, raised a hand, stopping him. "We just came to remind you that not everyone in this town respects your territory."Bryan leaned back in his seat, still relaxed, his eyes not leaving the vampire's face. "If you want to avoid trouble, I suggest you finish your drinks and leave," he said to them. "Othe
The leader didn't respond, though his eyes moved to his injured comrades before he forced a step back."Just a message. We didn't come for a full fight." The leader said.Aiden took a step forward and kissed his teeth out of annoyance. "Message received. Now get out.""We will see each other again," the leader hissed at them. "This isn't over."After he was done, he told his other standing comrades to help the injured ones, and they left in the blink of an eye."The Vampires are planning something," Aiden stated. "I am not certain how we should follow up with this warning of theirs.""Let's just head back to the Pack, we can discuss more about this tomorrow," Aiden suggested after thinking it through, and the rest agreed, taking their bloody selves back home.Kira stood beside the bed, her back to the door when Bryan and Aiden walked in. She was focused on the stack of documents in her hands, taking it very seriously. She flipped through the pages, deep in thought, as she spoke over h
Kira just shook her head at Aiden, before she replied. "Your turn to go shower, of course.""Ah…right," Aiden nodded and without wasting much time, he headed into the bathroom.Kira sighed and began tidying up the papers she had left on the bed, putting them aside for the next day. It was not long before Bryan emerged, freshly cleaned, and flopped down on the bed with a satisfied groan, making her smile softly."Well, that's enough excitement for one night," Bryan said, rubbing a hand through his damp hair as Kira watched him. And as soon as she was done with arranging the documents, she asked him to sit up, which he did, all the while wondering why she asked him too. Without a word, she got a towel and moved behind him, gently running the towel through his hair to help dry it."Thanks baby," Bryan muttered and closed his eyes, leaning slightly into her touch, a small smile tugging at the corner of his lips. "You always know what I need."Kira chuckled softly, continuing to gently dr
Warning : *mature content*Aiden's breath caught in his throat at her desperate plea. She just knew how to turn him on the more. He broke the kiss and searched her eyes, seeing how needy she was."I want to give you everything, Love," he whispered, his voice thick with desire. "Open your legs for me," he told her softly.Kira felt a rush of shyness wash over her as she gulped softly and nodded, whispering, "Like this?" Then shifted her weight slightly, her heart racing as she parted her thighs."Just like that," he responded and kissed her neck, his hands finding her thighs as he gently rubbed his palms up and down, enjoying the feel of her soft skin. "You are so beautiful," he murmured while planting soft kisses down her neck.As he kissed her neck, his hand had now finally reached her folds. "No panties, huh?" He asked, noticing she had nothing under.Kira blushed more and nodded, "mhm.""Naughty girl," Aiden teased, brushing his thumb against her p*ssy lips. She gasped, her body
Warning : *mature content*Aiden's lips inched closer, teasingly brushing against hers, but just as she thought he would finally give in and kiss her, he pulled back slightly, smirking at her. "Not yet," he murmured, leaving Kira breathless and wanting more.Kira's breath hitched, her frustration evident as she whispered, "You just love to see me beg, don't you?" She was so needy, her hands gripping the edge of Aiden's desk for stability as her legs trembled, but Aiden was busy making her beg for his touch when he knew how much she wanted and needed it.He smirked and started removing his shirt, signaling for her to take off her short nightgown too, and immediately she did the same, and now they were both naked, but before Kira could register what was about to happen, Aiden's lips crashed into hers raw and hard in a possessive kiss."Owh," Kira gasped as his hands gripped her waist, pulling her closer. She melted into the kiss, her fingers now tangling in his hair as their mouths mov
At the first light of dawn, Kira's eyes opened, and she got up from her bed.The night before, after leaving the living room, she had headed upstairs, but then remembered she had to go get her weapons, and so, she made a quiet detour and went out to go see her horse."Hey," she whispered as she brushed her hand along his mane, smiling gently while looking at him.Kai responded with a low grunt and nudged her shoulder, happy to see his rider.Tied to his saddle, was a dark leather roll—her weapons pack.A warhorse like Kai didn't just carry a rider; he was also trained to carry a small arsenal for her, and Kira was genuinely grateful that no one had touched her stuff, as she rubbed Kai's mane for a little longer before taking what she needed.The leather roll was fastened to the side of his saddle, just behind the stirrup. It contained her bag of knives, her quiver of arrows, and her sword.Kira unhooked them carefully, one by one, checking each with her hands in the dim, stable light.
Kira folded the small paper and slipped it into her trouser pocket before she took one last glance around the marketplace, which was now busy again.Everything and Everyone had returned to normal, and with nothing much to do there, she walked, leaving the place.The boutique door swung open, the chime sounding above as she stepped inside, her eyes looking for Elara, who she finally saw near a display of long coats, holding up a deep burgundy one and checking herself in the mirror."There you are!" Elara called when she turned at the sound of the door and saw that it was Kira. "I almost went looking for you," she said, half laughing and half worried.Kira smiled and walked toward her, leaning in as she gently pecked Elara's cheek, a soft, affectionate gesture."I'm sorry, Mum," she said sweetly, brushing Elara's arm. "I'll explain everything later. Promise.""That's alright," Elara nodded, although she was clearly curious. "As long as you're okay.""I am," Kira assured her. "Now let's
The first boutique Elara and Kira had gone to was a cozy one in a quiet spot tucked between two larger stores. It was the kind that smelled of fresh clothes, freshly printed tags and soft perfumes. It wasn't too big, but it was a lovely place to shop in.Elara was currently admiring a dress she had found, twirling in front of a mirror, while Kira, who had gotten most of what she wanted from the boutique, carefully folded the items into their shopping bags.As they rounded up, they made their way to the door, their hands full of what they had bought. Taking a deep breath, Kira let the outside air clear her head—the gentle breeze needed.She was about to close the boutique door behind her when something, or rather someone, caught her eye.She noticed that it didn't sit right with her and that someone was watching them, but she didn't let it show and pretended to know.She remained calm, not bothered, and was simply observant of the person watching them as she dropped the bags into the
Kira, who was already done with her meal and was taking the last bite, paused, her expression shifting."He's dead," she said, setting her fork down."But how?" Aiden inquired. "He was old but didn't seem like someone who could be easily killed.""Well, he was killed. Easily," Kira chuckled sadly and then went on to tell them everything from when she first met Baba Razz to how he died, how he was nice to her, and his role in her meeting the elves."I felt strangely comfortable around him," she admitted. "I'm not sure how to explain it, but I don't know. His death was painful, and I did blame myself, but I knew he wouldn't want me to do that, so… yeah.""I'm sorry," Aiden muttered as he and Bryan leaned in on each side and pressed a gentle kiss to the side of her head."May his soul rest in peace," Elara added quietly. "And I'm sure he will be very proud of who you are today."Blowing Elara a kiss, Kira agreed and decided to change the topic, not wanting their happy moments to be sour.
Stepping out of the room after getting dressed, Kira felt very comfortable in the oversized clothes Bryan had given her.She had also noticed the difference in the clothes—how the shirt smelled like Bryan, while the shorts were definitely Aiden's.She wondered if they had debated over if she would wear Bryan's clothes or Aiden's before coming to the conclusion of mixing them and giving it to her.The thought was so funny that she couldn't help but giggle as she made her way down the stairs, her hair packed in a messy bun."Sorry for keeping you all waiting," she said when she walked into the dining room, everyone already in their seats waiting for her."Oh, nonsense, sweetheart," Elara said, waving for her to join them. "It's completely fine.""Yeah, it's not like we were starving or anything," Aiden added with a smile.Bryan gave him a look and just smiled while shaking his head before turning back to Kira. "Come on, sit. Quit acting like a stranger.""I am not acting like a stranger
Kira, Bryan, and Aiden walked through the pack lands, accessing the pack to ensure that everyone was safe and everything was still intact or not too bad. It had been years since she had set foot around the pack, and as they moved, they could hear the whispers from the pack members. Elders, warriors, and even children stared at her in surprise before approaching."Luna Kira, child, how have you been?" An elderly woman with gray hair that was braided neatly asked, placing a gentle hand on Kira's arm. "It is so good to see you again.""I'm very well, thank you," Kira answered while smiling, her tone soft and warm. "And how about you? How have you been holding up? Are you okay?""Yes. Yes," the woman answered, smiling back at Kira as she patted Kira's arm. "And we thank Goddess for you coming today. Everyone has heard of how you helped. We are truly grateful, Luna.""Oh, please, you don't have to thank me. It is my duty as Luna," Kira said sincerely and rubbed the old woman's hand. "Take
As the elves disappeared into the portal, Kira turned to face Bryan, Aiden, and Ryker, giving them a small smile. She was going to miss El'fiannor, Lythari, the friends she had made, the trees, every single thing, but she was also happy to be back home."So...this is Kai, my horse," she announced as if she was introducing an old friend. "Say hi," she urged them."Oh yes, hi," Bryan said quickly, laughing softly right after. "Hi Kai, very fitting name," Aiden added, laughing as well. "You suit... your rider too."Ryker, however, eyed the horse, thinking about something. "Well, he will need a proper home," he said. "I'll take him to his new place. There's a building we can turn into a stable for him.""That sounds perfect," Kira accepted and extended the reins to Ryker, who took them with ease before leading the horse away.Watching as Ryker left, Aiden turned back to Kira with a warm, eager expression. "Come on," he said, "I'm sure Mum and Dad would be very happy to see you.""As w
At her words, Bryan chuckled breathlessly with a mix of disbelief as he ran a hand through his hair, his eyes showing all the emotions that his lips couldn't tell.He felt like he could finally breathe properly by just staring at her, while Aiden, on the other hand, laughed softly and shook his head, not sure of what to say to that."You-" he started, but stopped and exhaled before stepping forward and pulling her into a tight hug. The emotions were just too much to put into words, and there were so many things to ask, so many things to say, to tell, but for now, just hugging each other was enough.Aiden's hand cradled the back of her head as he tightened the hug, his fingers threading through her hair softly despite the armor she was wearing.He buried his face into the curve of her neck, breathing her in, as if inhaling her scent was going to soothe something inside him, which it absolutely did, bringing him great comfort and peace.Smiling widely, Kira melted into him as she close
Bringing her hands down with her palms open, Kira released the blazing light, expanding it outward toward them.The vampires closest to her didn't have the time or opportunity to run, as the moment the light touched them, they caught fire.They had thought their rings would protect them, but the rings did nothing, their screams filling the air as their bodies burned to ash within seconds.The ones further back tried to escape, but both Kira and the magic she channeled were quick, the light spreading like a wave as it covered the battlefield and set every vampire on fire.Kira was careful not to let it harm any of her people, allowing the light to go only for the vampires, and soon, all that remained was ash.The battlefield itself had become silent except for the crackling of burning vampires, but it wasn't completely silent, and all the vampires that were rushing in from the border as reinforcement were all wiped out.Behind Kira, the elven and werewolf warriors continued fighting wi
