Lucille's POV" Thank you so much for coming, " I say to one of the women I was seated with. Her husband was one of Killian's advisors, she was also the daughter of one of the strongest alphas in the Kingdom. Both of us were friends, we have been since we met last 2 weeks ago, not because we liked each other, however we were both wives of powerful men in the kingdom and it was expected that we get along. Besides, I needed people who would have my back once I started my full duties as the Luna of the kingdom" Of course, I wouldn't miss an opportunity to see you. However I noticed the king wasn't present. Does he have something to do?"On hearing her words, I was alerted about the absence of my husband at the party. I had seen Killian discussing with some guests not long ago, he seemed to have left while I was still distracted entertaining my friends. I wasn't very happy that he had left the party without talking to me." He must be busy "" How come he didn't tell you before leaving?
Lucille's POV" To see you fall Of course. However, I am giving you a chance here. If you tell me the reason why you went out of your way to ensure no one knew Kira was a girl, I give you my word that I won't say anything to Killian. It's your choice "At this moment, it felt like my world was crashing down. The secret which I had tried so hard to keep was now known by none other than the man who had sworn on the first day we met to get me out of the palace. He might be asking me now why I chose to do what I did, but I had a feeling he already knew why. If he could discover Kira's gender then I'm sure he would be able to figure out the rest. So why was he asking? It was probably because he needed physical evidence to use against me in the future. He might have someone taking a video or even recording me.I looked around us, even though I didn't see anyone I still wasn't relaxed. I chewed my lips tentatively, pondering whether or not to risk telling him more. He already knew about Kira
Lucille's POV" HOW COULD YOU?!!"" Lucille, let me explain " Killian said, despite his words he didn't try letting go of Kira, he was still holding onto that bitch like she was the most precious thing in the world. She at least had the decency to shuffle out of his arms and hurriedly tried to make herself presentable. Like her pulling down her dress would remove the image of my mate fucking her from my mind. Killian watches her with a concerned look, then he goes to pull up his pants. He turns his gaze to me once more while my sister cowers behind him." HOW COULD I HAVE BEEN SO STUPID! " I blamed myself for my ignorance. This was why Killian had insisted I invite Kira to the party, it wasn't because Asher liked her, it was because he was cheating on me. I felt so hurt and betrayed that hot tears ran down my face despite how much I tried to remain unfazed." Lucille, please..."" Don't touch me!! You've been cheating on me all this time! I was stupid enough to trust you!!"" It wasn'
Killian's POVI don't regret it. Having Elisa in my arms was one of the best feelings in the world, it was when I felt most at peace. So how could I regret being with someone so beautiful. Yes, I did have my guilt. And I wished Lucille didn't have to find out this way, however now that the truth was out, I had no intention of keeping anything secret anymore, especially my feelings for Elisa." You are my Luna, you will always be my Luna. That position belongs to you and you alone. But Elisa....I care about her and I still wish to have her around. I will keep her in the palace, somewhere you wouldn't have to see her if you don't wish to. And one day I hope you would understand how I feel "Lucille doesn't say anything, she keeps watching me with those tearful eyes. I wish now more than anything to reach out to her and Comfort her, yet I was afraid of hurting her even more. As her mate I was expected to give her my loyalty, she was to be the only woman in my
Kira's POV" Let me go '' Those were the first words that came out of my mouth the moment I saw him. I quickly leaped to my feet and walked towards him, my gaze pleading " Please let me go. I beg you. I..I don't want to be part of this "" What are you talking about? Hey, stop panicking alright. Everything is fine "" It's not!!" How dare he say that? How could everything possibly be alright now? Lucille had not only found out about our affair, but she had caught us in the act. I just couldn't imagine what kind of terrible things he waswere going through her mind. I would be stupid to think she would just leave me alone after this, and even if by some miracle Killian was on my side ( which I hardly doubt ), he wouldn't be able to stop Lucille from doing whatever she wanted.She was his mate, he would do anything for her. Also, he still didn't know that I was Kira, if he found out I had no doubt he would be very disgusted. So what would have been t
Asher's POV" Yes, Darling "" What are you doing here?"" I thought you might need some company. There isn't much to keep you entertained here. "But in a few days, I was sure her life would be so full of drama and conflict that she would begin to crave for the silence and boredom of the past. Chaos came with being the mate of the most heartless man in the world. And seeing that she had been playing a dangerous game all this time, I even found myself wondering whether or not Killian was willing to look pass the fact that he had been lied to and take her as his mate.Knowing how much my brother hated being made a fool of, it was probably likely that he wouldn't react well to finding out the truth. Lucille Moonshine wouldn't be able to escape the situation unscathed, she knows this, and I know she was going to do whatever is possible to keep the truth from coming to light. She wouldn't have told me if she hadn't already thought I knew about it.She must have assumed I had picked up on
Killian's POV" Where is she?" The men before me shivered at the dangerous tone of my voice " If you tell me now, I might reconsider ripping all of you to shreds!"" Y..Your Majesty, The Prince demanded that we let her go. We informed him that..."" Asher? " My hands curled into a fist by my side. I should have known that bastard would have something to do with this. But the fact that he dared to go against my orders, and even make my men disobey me made my blood boil. He might be my brother but he had no power whatsoever to do what he did. I was the Fucking King! My words were law. I glared at the men who cowered at my feet, " Report yourselves to the Dungeons. I will deal with you all later "" Yes "* * *" What the hell did you do?"" Why do you seem so angry? take a seat, let's have a drink together. it's been so long since we spent some time together, don't you think so?"If there was one thing Asher enjoyed more than making trouble in my kingdom, it was making a scene. He alway
Killian's POVI stood outside Kir's chambers, contemplating whether or not I should go in. Would he even be willing to help me after everything I'd put him through? I ensured he was treated less than a slave in the palace, simply because I was afraid and jealous of the kind of relationship he had with Lucille. At that time I had thought Lucille was cheating on me, though I never confronted her directly and took out all my anger on her brother.So there was a high chance he might turn me down. But then again, he was living in my kingdom, my palace, which meant he was merely another one of my servants. He had no mind of his own and he was expected to do everything say. I was his king. Even if he didn't wish to help me, I would force him into doing it. All I needed him to do was beg Lucille on my behalf, once she forgave me enough to listen to what I had to say, then I wouldn't have any use for Kir anymore. Perhaps I might even send him out of the palace.' You were worried that she was
