Kiara let out a loud groan, writhing in pain as the symbol on her forehead glowed red. The pain was becoming unbearable.Scarlett watched with a cruel smile, delighted at Kiara’s suffering. She was enjoying the sight of Kiara in agony, a feeling of dark satisfaction growing within her.Kiara couldn’t hold on anymore. Her eyes shone with a bright emerald light, and her body grew weaker. Blood oozed from her mouth, signaling the end was near.“That should be enough, Taylor,” Scarlett remarked, her voice dripping with malice. “Just end this bitch and let's move, “ she ordered. Outside, Aiden raced towards the building, his heart pounding in his chest. He knew time was running out, and he had to reach Kiara before it was too late.Just as Taylor was about to utter the final spell, the door burst open. With a reflexive turn, Taylor found herself in Aiden's grip, his hand clamped around her neck.“You should never mess with an Alpha’s mate,” Aiden growled, as his voice a chilled with thre
“I should have known, Kiara. I never thought you would come for me,” Aiden whispered, his voice heavy with guilt as he glanced at the floor. “I'm so sorry.” He uttered.As he lifted his gaze, he saw that her skin was pale, and her lips were dry and cracked. Despite her appearance, Aiden could still see the beauty and strength that had drawn him to her in the first place.As Aiden gently cupped Kiara’s bandaged cheek, his gaze softened with regret. Just then, Blake knocked softly on the door.“Alpha, are you there?” Blake called from the other side.”Come in,” Aiden replied, as he tried to inhale deeply to steady himself. The door creaked open immediately and Blake entered, bowing his head respectfully.“How is Cass?” Aiden inquired, his eyes fixed on Blake.“The doctor said the surgery was a success, but Cass is still unconscious,” Blake replied.Without a word, Aiden rose to his feet and strode out of the room, while Blake followed behind him.Once he got outside, his hands disappeare
Kiara rubbed her eyes gently with her palms as she looked up at the three figures next to her while her eyes were still burly. With a deep yawn, she tried to shut her eyes tightly, as soon as she opened them she got her sight back. “Mummy!.” Zane and Zion exclaimed as they rushed themselves up to Kiara for a warm embrace on the bed while Zoey stood behind. Confused, Kiara quickly sat up straight and turned to the other side, only to see another figure a bit closer to her. “Lisa, what are you guys doing here?.” She questioned. “Coming to see you, Kiara. I knew something bad would happen, so I booked a flight just in case. And here we have it, you're lying on the bed with bruises and bandages on your face. ” Lisa responded disappointingly. “Anyways, Aiden contracted me with your line so I had to get permission from Doctor Daniel and the kids' school,” Lisa uttered.Kiara let out a deep sigh and relaxed back in a pillow while Zayn and Zion sat next to her. “Mummy.” Kiara heard Zoey'
“You know you could have just let the female servants prepare breakfast.” Blake scoffed out as he turned his gaze towards Lisa while he sat at the dining table.Lisa turned her gaze up to him instantly and when their gaze met, she took her face away quickly, trying to avoid Blake's tempting eyes.“I prefer preparing it myself.”She uttered, her voice thick and hasty.Having Heard that, Blake rose himself up quickly and took one last sip of coffee from a teacup on the table and as he glanced at Lisa one more time, he felt she had been trying to avoid his gaze.Without a word, Blake began walking towards the exit but paused as soon as Lisa's voice echoed. “Where are you going?.” She questioned as her gaze was still fixed on Zoey.“How should that be a problem to you?” Blake asked as he turned to meet her gaze. Lisa stood firmly as she tried to recall why she had asked such a dumb question. “It's not, never mind.” Lisa finally spoke as she returned, feeding Zoey her breakfast. With a f
“That's not going to be possible Lisa,” Kiara uttered as she leaned backward, against the couch. “I vowed never to let him know about them or neither should they know about him!.” Kiara mentioned.Lisa adjusted closer to Kiara while her hands were still cupping Kiara's hands. “I know it wasn't really easy being a single mother of three for the past five years, Kiara. But still, I know how sorry Aiden feels right now and I'm sure he's really to make it up to you sincerely and fill in the spaces he abandoned years back.” Kiara lowered her head downwards and fixed her gaze on the floor instantly. “I don't think I should trust him, Lisa, you've never for once liked Aiden, so why the sudden change of heart?.” Kiara questioned as she glanced at Lisa.“Well nothing, I just think it's not his fault at all, so you really shouldn't hold any grudge on him because Scarlett was all at fault .” Lisa declared. “Besides, the kids are still little, which would make things very easy for them. They co
Kiara stepped into the house and headed straight for the room Aiden had suggested that she should stay for the time being.As she shut the door behind her, she took a deep breath and walked to the bed and while she climbed the bed, she heard a gentle knock on the door. “Hi, it's Blake,” Blake uttered as he stood firmly behind the door.Kiara sat up straight quickly and adjusted her dress before asking Blake to come in. “Hey Blake, what brings you here?” She said as she spotted him walk towards her.“I just came to apologize,” Blake mentioned.“For what?” Kiara questioned as she took her gaze up to Blake. “I never realized how unsafe it was for you to come here. I'm sorry for putting you through this.” Blake uttered as he lowered his head to the floor to apologize.Kiara, seeing this climbed out of the bed instantly and stood before him. “it’s not your fault Blake, and I sincerely appreciate you.” Kiara mentioned.Having heard Kiara's response, Blake took his head immediately and tur
“How is this possible, I thought Alpha Aiden had wiped out every single generation of witches and he had made sure not a single one had survived,” Taylor said as she drew closer to Gwen and embraced her closely.“He did wipe out the whole witch but luckily, I was able to escape through a power spell your mom and I know of,” Gwen responded.Taylor shut her eyes deeply as she continued to embrace Gwen more tightly before she began to speak again. “What kind of spell are you talking about?” she questioned.Gwen clenched her fist tightly and she took in a deep breath. She knew Taylor would be very shocked if she told her the kind of spell she had used to escape from the ruthless hands of Aiden.“I used the forbidden blood spell, Taylor.” She finally said. Taylor opened her eyes in shock and released herself from their embrace immediately. As their gaze met, Gwen took her gaze to the floor instantly while she continued to speak again.“I never meant to Taylor, but I had no other choice. I
Cass stood outside, next to Aiden's car while his gaze was fixed on the floor. The moment he heard the sound of the front door open widely, he took his gaze up immediately. As he watched Kiara approach him, her beauty radiated in the elegant royal blue dress and matching accessories, her golden necklace glinting in the light.Truly, Kiara was beautiful. Caught off-guard, he straightened his posture and started forward, only to be halted by Aiden, who had silently slipped past him. He had forgotten that Aiden had been also standing next to him. “What the hell was I thinking, going to meet Kiara!.” Cass whispered silently.With a deep frown, Cass made his way to the car's front seat, his eyes fixed on the window.He watched in silence as Aiden reached Kiara, whispering something in her ear that elicited a giggle from her. Aiden then took her hand, and together they to the car.The moment they both climbed into the car, Cass clenched his fist tightly. He was starting to get sick and ti
A FEW WEEKS LATER} {CHICAGO 5:40 PM} “I sincerely never stopped loving you Taylor, I never stopped remembering everything we shared, not until you changed. And I'm grateful for everything.” Blake uttered as stood straight up while his gaze was still fixed on the ocean. “l know you still loved me but I'm sorry I couldn't give you that same love and affection you always had when we were still together. Things just had to change and I also had to move on. I learned that we all need to give love a second chance and to my greatest shock, I did, and it worked out fine. I'll be okay and I hope you will as well be wherever you are now. Thank you so much for your sacrifice, Taylor.” He declared softly as he inhaled a deep breath and threw the bouquet he had in his hand straight to the sea. “Farewell Taylor.” He whispered as he shut his eyes deeply while a tear rolled down from his eyes. “Hey “ Lisa whispered as she walked up to Blake and cuddled him from behind. “I'm sure she's glad t
Kiara packed her hair in the form of a ponytail and applied a little makeup before she stood before the mirror. She had already made sure the house was peaceful and the kids had gone to school. “Hey,” Lisa called out as she leaned on the wall close to the front door. “Good morning.” “Good morning Lisa.” Kiara greeted and she took one more glare at her reflection before grabbing her keys. “Are you set to go now, because it was like you were taking ages you know?” Lisa teased and it made Kiara chuckle a bit. “Yeah, let's leave now.” Kiara responded. That said, they both walked outside immediately. As soon as they got to Kiara's car, Lisa opened the door and climbed into the front seat, next to the driver's seat and so did Kiara. Without hesitation, she turned on the engine and began to drive straight to the hospital. Kiara applied the brakes as soon as she got to the hospital grounds. As she climbed out of the car and shut the door behind, she began to walk inside immediately while
“Can I get my receipt?.” Lisa questioned as she tried to carry her shopping bags but she couldn't because they were too many. She had purchased so many items for the house upkeep and for the kids as well. “Do you need a hand with that?” Lisa hears a voice speak to her from behind. Oh I think I'm fine, you don't need to..” Lisa's jaw dropped the moment she turned to face him. “With the look of things here, I think you need a second hand and I do have one to spare.” As he spoke, Lisa's gaze had almost pulled off his T-shirt. “Oh yeah, I think I really need that spare hand for myself.” She whispered softly. “Excuse me?” . His voice jolted her to reality once again. “Oh I'm so sorry, I guess I could use a hand please.” Lisa responded while her warm smile smudged on her lips. “I'm Daniel.” Lisa heard the voice once again as he helped her carry most of the bags, leaving her with just one.” “Oh you really don't have to..” “Let's just go.” Daniel cut her as he began to walk out of the
“Alright, goodnight Miguel,” Caroline uttered as she tried to end the call and continue her dinner but she heard Miguel's voice again. “Don't forget our appointment this weekend.”Frustrated, Caroline placed her right hand on her forehead and rested on it. “Yeah, I won't, bye.” That said, she ended the call immediately not wanting to know if Miguel still had something to say. “Such a talkative person.” Caroline heaved as she returned to her meal.As she ate, heard the sound of the front door opening. As soon as she darted her gaze to the door, she spotted Cass and without hesitation, she returned her attention to her meal. Cass stood still as he watched Caroline eat and pretended like she had never seen him walk inside. The moment Caroline noticed he kept staring at her, she felt uncomfortable. She hastily rose to her feet and as she turned to leave, she felt a grip on her hands. Cass pulled her to him and gasped her hands tightly. “Hey, why are you acting weird all of a sudden?” He
“Hey, Miguel.” Caroline uttered weakly as she placed her cell phone on her ear.”“Hey bestie, what's wrong, you don't sound okay at all.” Miguel's voice rang out from the other line. “Nothing's wrong, I'm just kind of stressed out,” Caroline responded while she rubbed her eyes gently. “Let's meet today Carol, it's been a while since we spent some quality time together.” Miguel declared. Caroline sighed deeply as she averted her gaze up to the wall clock. “ By what time?” She questioned as she brushed her hair backwards and she climbed out of the bed weakly.“In two hours,” Miguel replied and ended the call before Caroline could utter any more words. Caroline heaved deeply and then began to walk straight to the restroom. As she sat on the toilet seat, what happened between her and Cass replayed on her head. Although she had always longed for him for so long now, but not that way. Cass had taken it very hard on her and she felt like a fool because as they had sex, Cass never mentioned
Caroline applied the brakes and rushed out of the car immediately. The moment she got to the back seat, she opened the door quickly and helped Cass climb outside. “I warned you not to drink too much Cass.” She uttered as she struggled to assist him but Cass pushed her to the floor immediately while he began to walk inside. “Argh.” Caroline groaned in pain as she struggled to get back on her feet to assist him. The moment Cass reached the front doorstep, he collapsed on the floor instantly. “Why do you prefer hurting this much, Kiara?” Cass whispered and shut his eyes immediately. A deep frown appeared on Caroline's lips as she heard Cass's voice. “You're also hurting me as well Cass, please can't you just love me back? I'm f*cking fricking out right now because I'm just so sad and confused. I love you so much Cass so please stop avoiding me, it hurts so much.” She whispered as her voice began to break slowly. As she bent down to Cass's level, she touched his soft brown hair and dre
As Kiara sat comfortably, she glanced at Cass and noticed that he had been staring at her for a while. With a slight scoff, she averted her gaze elsewhere immediately. Caroline watched with suspicion as Cass continued to stare at the woman he barely knew. She had never seen him look at anyone with such calm and warm affection before.Caroline wished she could be the recipient of Cass's gaze, but instead, she watched as he continued to stare at the lucky lady.Raymond concluded his announcement with, "Thank you once again for showing up. Please enjoy your stay here." As he made his way to where Aiden and Kiara were seated,The moment Kiara left to use the restroom, Cass stood up, causing Caroline to glance in his direction, expecting him to at least say a word or two before leaving. However, to her disappointment, Cass turned and made his way towards the direction Kiara had gone. Caroline watched him disappear, feeling a knot in her stomach. She knew that Cass's attention was now focus
"Don't say a word to anyone," Cass ordered Caroline as they arrived at the dinner party. "Just smile and look pretty." Caroline frowned and lowered her gaze to the floor in disappointment.Cass had insisted that she accompany him to this event, despite her discomfort. As the press began to photograph them, Cass stepped out of the car first and extended his hand to help Caroline out. At that moment, Caroline wished that the gesture had been genuine, that Cass cared about her as more than just an accessory to his image. But she knew that was unlikely. As the reporters snapped pictures of the couple, Cass leaned in and whispered something into Caroline's ear, with his voice low and commanding. "Remember your place," he said, a thinly veiled threat in his words.Caroline's fake smile faltered for a moment, but she quickly recovered while her lips curved up into a tight, forced grin. She knew that she couldn't afford to make a scene, not when Cass's reputation was at stake.But as they wa
The moment Blake applied the brakes, Aiden opened the car door and climbed down immediately. With a deep breath, he wasted no time to walk inside quickly, while Blake trailed behind him. As they stepped inside the living room, they both parted ways. Aiden stood still at his doorstep and squeezed the door knob gently. As he stepped inside, his eyes widened in extreme shock the moment his gaze met with the slender gorgeous-looking lady that stood across the mirror.While Kiara adjusted her dress, she felt a hand grip her waist gently. “When I said look your best, I never meant you should dress to seduce anyone,” Aiden whispered as he slowly brought his hands to her breasts and squeezed them tightly while she kissed her neck.A smile crept on Kiara's lips as she quietly turned to face him while she wrapped her arms boldly around his neck. “I dressed to seduce you.” She whispered and joined her lips with Aiden lips. As Aiden realized they were supposed to be somewhere, he broke from the
