A light groan escaped Kiara's mouth, and she winced in pain afterward. When Kiara was finally able to see her surroundings properly, her eyes caught hold of Cass so close to her. "Cass?" Kiara called almost in a whisper, and when he heard her voice, he raised his head to stare at her, "Kiara, you're awake." "What happened?" "You don't remember? Aiden went wild on you, and…" "Aiden! Where's Aiden, how's he doing? Is he still alive?"She tried to stand up on her weak, but groaned in pain again, "Take it easy, Kiara, Aiden's fine. The moment he realized it was you, I don't know how, but he came back to his senses before he could hurt you again. How do you feel? Are you alright?" "I'm fine, Cass. Take me to Aiden immediately. I want to see how he's doing?" "I can't."Kiara arched her brows, "Why?" She questioned, still trying to bear the pain around her back, "He doesn't want to see you Kiara. Aiden had instructed that you leave the pack once you're awake, and

Kiara remained seated in the bed, tears at the brim of falling to her cheeks,"Give me a few minutes Cass, please." She muttered, but he had heard her. He rose to his feet and walked out of the room, gently shutting the door behind him,Luckily, Aiden was still outside leaning on the banisters,"What did you do that for? I think it was quite unnecessary,""That's the only way she'll leave Cass. I can't let Kiara stay here any longer because it's obvious Scarlett is going to try to use her to get to me. I can't let that happen."If this was the wrong decision, then Cass would have questioned Aiden but he didn't, knowing well that it was the right decision. "You didn't tell her the truth.""There's no need for that." Aiden began to walk away, "Make sure she leaves the mansion as soon as possible, Cass, I have somewhere to be." He continued and began to head for his room. As soon as Aiden was gone, Cass sighed deeply and began to walk towards the room Kiara was in.He stood for another
Lisa pulled Kiara into a tight hug, gently rubbing her back,"Give yourself more time okay, you'll be alright, I promise. With time, you'll forget about him completely."Lisa had not wanted to leave because of Blake and her growing fondness for him, but right now, she was willing to do so because of Kiara. If it would mean her staying as far away from Aiden as possible just to get her life straight again, then she was willing to do it."I think this termination would be the best thing that ever happened to you, Kiara. Let's make our lives normal, just like they used to be even before you received that proposal, okay?"Kiara nodded her head even though both ladies had not broken the hug,When Lisa broke the hug, she stared at Kiara,"Don't be sad, Kiara. It hurts me too.""Everything that happened 5 years ago was all a spell, but I have no idea if it was him when he believed that I had cheated on him and he banished me.""It wasn't, trust me. If it wasn't, the moment the spell has wash
KATHERINE:I could feel myself loosing strength slowly and wondering how I would live my life knowing fully that I was in love with Leo, and he didn't love me back.Leo had just mentioned rejection and that was the most painful part of everything. To think that another mate would want to reject me just like Zane did.I watched him say those last hurtful words to me, and when he turned to walk away from me, I couldn't let him goI could slowly feel myself loosing breath, unable to breathe properly as I thought about what was going to happen after everything. Just as he turned to walk away, I had no idea when my hand grabbed him by the shirt,"P…. please…. Please Leo, don't leave me, Leo, please don't." I begged.There was a time I knew he liked me too. I was very certain of it, so what happened,As I fell down on my knees unable to breathe properly, I had hoped he wouldn't leave me the way I was and that my current condition would make him worry, but I was shocked to my bones when he
“Hey Kiara, wait up.” Lisa called out as she rushed towards where Kiara stood. When she finally came up to Kiara, she halted immediately and lowered her head, inhaling and exhaling a deep breath before she stood straight. “You really didn't have to rush so quick.” Kiara mentioned. Lisa scoffed out a little to clear her throat before she began to speak. “I can see you getting over Aiden so easily, that's really nice.” As Lisa let out a warm smile, she got a deathly glare from Kiara immediately. “I thought we talked about this already Lisa, we agreed on forgetting about everything. I thought you also promised not to mention his name to me anymore”.The moment Kiara was done talking, she turned to leave in annoyance but Lisa grabbed her hands tightly. “I'm really sorry girlfriend. I'm so sorry.” She uttered as her gaze went down to the floor instantly. Seeing this, Kiara turned to Lisa and embraced her closely. “It's alright Lisa, nobody is beyond mistakes.” With that, they both cud
“Alpha are you alright?.”“I'm fine Blake, I just need some time to myself.” Aiden declared as he tried to make an effort to stand at his feet. “I don't you are!.” Blake exclaimed as he drew even closer to Aiden. Don't come anywhere close to me, Aiden yelled out, still trying to rise to his feet. Blake halted immediately when he heard Aiden's deathly voice. He just couldn't get why Aiden had to terminate the contract and send Kiara away. He needed to understand whatever that has been going on but Cass wouldn't say any damn word to him. Aiden groaned out loud one more time and fell to the ground instantly, this time around his eyes were weak and his face looked pale. “Get Cass!.” he ordered weakly. Without wasting any more time, Blake rushed out of Aiden's room and headed outside quickly. He halted the moment he was already outside. Having done that, the cocked his head sideways in search of Cass but he couldn't find any trace of him.With a sense of urgency, Blake dashed out of
“What was that all about Cass?” Blake uttered as he paced around the sitting room confused. “Alpha was totally out of control and he seemed to have completely forgotten who I was.” Blake continued. Cass scoffed a little and fixed his eye on the wall clock. He wasn't ready to explain anything to Blake because Aiden had ordered him not to.“Don't you have anything to say about that? Don't you just sit there and play dumb with me Cass.” Blake uttered as he squeezed his fist tightly. Without a word, Cass rose to his feet immediately and turned his gaze to Blake. “I don't have anything to say.” With that, I walked back to Aiden's room. Seeing this, Blake shut his eyes tightly and inhaled a deep breath before walking outside. *“Alpha,” Cass uttered as he lowered his head to the floor quickly. Alright mustered out the last of his strength to sit straight up on the bed and pulled the bedspread aside. “Where the hell did you go, Cass!.” He exclaimed weakly. Cass closed his eyes for a f
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
