Chapter two
Keisha’s pov
Going to my window and jumping down carefully I go behind a tree, take off my clothes focusing my mind on shifting. I have to take off my clothes cause only the Alpha’s Lina’s and Beta’s can shift with their clothes on without tearing them and shift back with their clothes on. As I focus my mind on shifting I hear the familiar feeling of my bones cracking and reforming and I’m on all fours as I let Due take control as she dashes through the woods feeling the cool breeze on her fur and the earthly smell of the woods.
Due feeling happy to be set out running with pure bliss and ecstasy crushing every twig under her paws leaping over every adventitious root running her best feeling the moment. I have never felt this happy and free in a long time doing whatever I want and I don’t for how long it will last and when next I will I’ll feel this euphoria.
“Just be happy and free now feel the warm and earthly feeling of the woods be carefree let every pain wash away for a while before going back cause I know this is worth being happy I’ll always be with you no matter what Keisha.”
Thanks Due your the best I don’t know what I’ll do without you. You always keep me going when I want to just hide and cry.
“Anytime Keisha you will never be alone.”
Running so fast I can hear the roaring sound of the river running closer to it the view was very beautiful. Due and I both steer in awe, we sat mesmerized by the beautiful sight infront of us and loosing track of time.
Shit Due we have to I head back home now uncle must be back and looking for us I said in a panic voice while Due gets up taking off to the pack house. Oh dear lord I must be in so much trouble, one of the rule states that i should never leave the house and I never did and now I have messed any other opportunity of going out because I lost track of time.
“Hold on Keisha we’ll be there in no time and remember you’re not alone no matter what uncle does I’ll be with you. I’m sorry I lost track of time I just felt so happy and free to be let out still really been a long time I was really dying to be out and run free without caring and I forgot about the consequences if we don’t make it home in time without anyone knowing we snuck out I’m really sorry Keisha.”
It’s not your fault Due I also felt happy and free tho it ended too soon and because I felt so happy I lost track of time too let’s just hope uncle isn’t back yet already. Sensing this night is going to be a very very long night.
Reaching the tree I shifted back I took my clothes and put them on then I went straight to my window. I stood by the tree infront of my window, climbing up the tree I climbed unto my window entering my room and greeted with the harsh voice of my uncle oh moongoddess safe me this night from my uncle’s wrath or I’m doomed but who am I kidding?
“Wow I never took you to be an athlete climbing and jumping through trees and your window”
“You slut you aren’t allowed to leave this house and you had the nerves to sneak out huh, where did you go to?”
He screamed in my face, shaking in total fear. I was about to speak when his hard and rough hands collided with my face not once, not twice, it wasn't enough for him. He pushed me into the bed and drew out his belt. I saw the rage and hatred in his eyes but just didn’t want to give him the satisfaction he wanted from doing this. He then raised up his hands with his belt in them and all I could feel were the slashes on my back from the belt. It stung so bad but I knew I had to be strong and not show any sign of weakness at all.
He kept on going and going I felt like I was losing my flesh to his belt at this time but I remained strong. It really hurt so bad.
Hearing my room door close I walked to the bathroom turning on the shower. I slide on my wall and let everything out. I was hurting. I was in so much pain my whole body throbbing. I am so sure I had a broken rib with all the punching and kicking directed to my face and ribs.
I burst into tears so rapidly. My bathroom was my comfort zone. I couldn't let anyone see me crying, not at all. I cried out my soul because of the pain and anguish I felt. It hurts to be treated so bad it really does. It always makes me start hating myself and questioning what reason and purpose I was still living.
After washing up and cleaning myself I went straight for my wardrobe and grabbed my black hoodie and leggings. I put them on and I headed straight for the kitchen because I am to join the fellow maids to help prepare dinner. Whilst in the kitchen preparing dinner with the other maids I start hearing side talks and getting eye contacts from most of them. I immediately feel sad and regret ever being born into this world. I’ve never been appreciated or shown love im always being gossiped about. I was happy we actually got to finish preparing dinner early today so I could head back into my room and have some rest because I was pretty tired and weak at this point and you could tell just by looking at me. I cleaned up the whole kitchen and then went straight up into my room to have some rest.
Chapter threeKeisha’s povI woke up to the ray of the sun shining in through my window, groaning as I got up to do my morning business. I first had to ease myself because my bladder was really full. I stand up from my bed and head to my bathroom sluggishly. I feel so tired. I get into the toilet and sit on it. I ease myself and then clean up and head to the shank to get my teeth brushed. I then look into the mirror and stare at my reflection for a bit. I look really sad but despite that I wanted to be happy for today. I then finish brushing my teeth and head into the shower to take my bath. I put on the shower, let it run for sometime then I jumped in. I then step out of the shower dripping wet. I then reached out for my towel and dried my body then wrapped it around me. I then step out of the bathroom and head towards my makeover table. I took out my body lotion and applied it on my body gently. I could see lots of scars but I really didn’t want to care about it. I then checked my

So you think I will let you go for the ball you worthless thing so you'll disgrace me, aren't you ashamed of yourself, you really think there's a mate out there for you haha always delusional." No uncle I really know my mate is out there and you really have to let me go to the ball. Due forced me to say. "You whore who asked you to talk back at me" my uncle said accompanied with his hands colliding with my cheeks, as tears rolled down my eyes he took a scissors and ripped my dress. "After the ball you are going to be punished tonight for disrespecting me" he said while locking the door from outside. I can't take it and I let the tears fall freely. What am I going to do now? He has completely ruined me and ruined my life, I still can't comprehend what he wants from me. Why can't he let me go? "I hate him, I hate him so much I have never liked him. If I have my ways I will rip him into

Adrian said, thanks so much i said as he exist the room. Looking around I notice how big the room is there is a king sized bed and and a walk in closet, there's also a reading desk and then the bathroom, just how rich is he. "Yeah yeah I know the place is a mansion but be fast so we don't have to keep mate waiting, I can't wait to meet him and meet his wolf properly," Due said in my head. I know I know whatever dirty thoughts you have, please keep them at Bay and not jump on him. I'm not used to this kind of treatment and him yet and we are in the pack house sooner or later we have to meet with the whole pack members which I'm dreading so bad. "Don't worry things will be perfectly fine with our mate by our side and I'm here for you never forget that." After talking with due I walk into
Chapter Six Keisha's Pov As I arrived at Sophia's place, I felt a wave of excitement wash over me. I have been wishing for a long time to find my mate and the moon goddess has blessed me with my mate and his sister, and I can't wait to spend some quality time with her. Sophia greets me with a warm smile and a hug, and we spend the next few hours chatting and laughing over coffee, Sophia telling me stories of when she and Adrian were little and all the funny things he did. "Here's one I can never forget. When Adrian and I were little, he was obsessed with superheroes. He spent hours running around the house in a cape, pretending to save the world. One day, One day our mom took him and i to the grocery store, and Adrian insisted on wearing his superhero costume. As we walked through the aisles, Adrian kept his eyes peeled for any signs of trouble. Suddenly, he spotted a man with a black ski mask over his face, and he knew he had to act fast. He charged at the man, ready to take him
Chapter Seven Keisha's Pov Sophia looks at me expectantly, waiting for me to tell her my news. While I grinned I said, "Adrian just asked me out on a date! Can you help me get ready?" Sophia's eyes widen in excitement as she exclaims, "Oh my gosh! Of course I'll help you get ready! This is so exciting!" Sophia helps me get ready by suggesting different outfits and hairstyles. We both have fun trying things on and taking pictures of my different looks. We even used Snapchat's Dress Up feature to try on virtual clothing and accessories. After much deliberation, we finally settled on the perfect outfit and hairstyle. I feel so confident and excited as I get ready to go on my first date ever and with my mate. Sophia suggests that I wear a light blue sundress with a pair of strappy sandals. She thinks that the dress will look great on your complexion and the sandals will make my legs look longer. She also suggests that I wear my hair in loose waves and put on some light makeup to
Chapter Eight Adrian’s Pov As I was going to my room, after taking Keisha to her’s, I thought about today. Though I had gone on a date twice, this one’s just so different from the others. Today was magical and my mate made it so perfect, she’s so perfect. As I stood outside her room as she hugged me. As I hugged her I leaned in,nuzzling into her neck, I was so close that she could feel my lips ghosting over her neck, and then I made a move and kissed her, I felt the mate bond, the shock running through my body and I know she felt it too it was the best I have had. I felt her hands clinged onto my jacket for support. I hummed slowly, sending shivers and vibration through her body. She pulled apart so she could get some oxygen into her system and I myself needed it, even though I didn’t want to stop, she smiled at me and said goodnight. As I was about drifting off to sleep with a content smile on my face, I heard a very loud scream coming from Keisha’s room, I think twice as I dash
Chapter NineKeisha’s Pov You know my parents died in an attack when they traveled, so my uncle took me in. The first few months were actually very nice, they were all nice to me and all of a sudden they all changed towards me and till now I have no idea why. They maltreated me, beat me up, took advantage of me and I was powerless.On this faithful day I went out running into the woods because Due needed to be let out she had been in for so long because I wasn’t allowed to go out at all or talk to anyone so this day we went running because uncle went out and we were going to be back before he got back, but I and Due got carried away by the beautiful view and lost track of time. once we realized that we had lost track of time, we ran straight back home.On reaching my room my uncle was there patiently waiting for me, as I climbed back into my bedroom from my window i was startled hearing his voice.“Wow I never took you to be an athlete climbing and jumping through trees and your wind
Keisha’s Pov I wanted to tell you but I was so scared and I knew if I told you, you’d want to go there and fight and I’m not ready yet to face any of them. I don’t think I’m strong yet but I know I will one day. I have lots of questions to ask, why did he treat me that way, did my parents hurt them or do something to them? Lots of questions just keep popping in my head but I’m not ready yet. I looked down, still feeling ashamed for not speaking up earlier. Adrian put his hand underneath my chin and lifted my face up to his. He looked at me with eyes full of love and understanding. "Keisha, you didn't have to be scared. You are safe now and I will always protect you," he said softly. I looked at Adrian and felt a sense of comfort and safety that I had never felt before. I knew that Adrian was the one for me. He had saved me from a life of misery, and had shown me that there was love and happiness in the world. As the days went by, I started to open up more to Adrian. I even told hi
CHAPTER TWENTY My wolf growled in my head at the mention of her death and I reassured him that we would never let it happen, the last thing I need right now is an angry wolf prowling around in my head. You have a pack now Keisha, a pack that will save you till their last breath, I whispered as I looked down to see her eyelids had closed and her breathing had slowed down. She was asleep. Keisha’s Pov I genuinely believe that she too was a messenger of the moon goddess, why else would someone want to harm her and tip me away from my family? I looked over to my right to see that Adrian was still fast asleep on the other side of the bed, oblivious to the thoughts that were racing through my mind. We had kind of just kept the sleeping arrangements since the other night when I asked him to sleep next to me . We both stubborn and refused to let the other sleep on the sofa so why bother continuing the fight at all if we both knew the other wouldn’t be giving in any time soon. I didn’t ha
Chapter Nineteen Leo was quite after and quickly snapped the book shut with a flick of his wrist, obviously finished with the extract he was reading from. Well what else does it say? I asked as I looked at the book and then at Leo again, expecting there to be more about my Keisha and what she is. The more I knew about her the more I could protect her. Adrian’s Pov All Leo did was shake his head and shrug his shoulders. “ That's it, it just goes about the standard transformation of a wolf after that, but nothing else about the moonstone eyes or what a messenger is capable of. I may have to do some serious digging to find out what a messenger actually is, but I’m hoping we’ll have something in the pack's library somewhere,” he sighed. I nodded my head and took a sneak peek over my shoulder to make sure she was still eating and sighed when I saw that she had finished her soup. Well whatever you need you have alright? I want to get to the bottom of this, I started hoping he knew that
He was stroking this thumb across my waist and once again his touch sent sparks through my body. If I die of a heart attack I’m pretty sure it’s gonna be because of these little moments. Keisha’s POV I was still staring into his eyes and this time he broke the silence. “We should get ready, you gotta look for your clothes.” He says and takes a step away from me Why, why must you do this to me? Why must thou step away from this special moment to look for my stupid clothes. My wolf missed being in his arms. But I do need my stupid clothes. It’s a Sunday which means it’s Sophia and Leo’s day out and meaning I have to spend 3 days with Adrain’s mum in her chambers, she’ll be helping me with the powers I have and what I am and I’m not to tell a soul not even Sophia. I don’t know how Sophia is going to take this, I mean I consider her as my best friend and now I’m going to be hiding this important information from her, I hope she takes it well when I tell her about everything. Adria
Chapter Seventeen Keisha’s Pov God I love his eyes. His eyes, his beautiful brown eyes I could stare into them all day and I still will be hypnotized by them. And his hair, the way it looks like he just rolled out of bed, his dark brown hair that always looks good, I bet it’s soft too. “Try going back to sleep okay? Adrian said and I noticed that it’s still dark outside, I gave him a small nod and lay back down on the bed. Adrian pulls me into his arms again and I feel and I feel his warm embrace already making me feel better. God he smells so good. He starts to draw a circle on my back and at this point I’m sure I’m not going back to sleep but I sure as hell don’t want this moment to end. I feel so safe in his arms, like nothing can happen to me as long as Adrian is by my side. I’m snapped out of my thoughts when Adrian talks to me. “You know you can talk to me about anything, right?” He said, almost whispering. I know, I say. “It's just I don’t want you to feel like you can’t
Chapter SixteenKeisha’s PovMommy?“Wait for me at your uncle's house, okay baby?” She said, clearing the hair out of my face while the tears ran down her face freely.I looked at my dad, I could see the hurt, anger through his eyes. He looks at me and shows nothing but rage, anger and pure disgust but it wasn’t towards me.Mommy what’s going on? I asked and started crying as a single tear rolled down my fathers cheeks.“Don’t worry, everything’s gonna be okay” she said as she took me in her arms and ran her hands up and down my back. She pulled away and whipped my tears with her thumb.“Wait for mommy at your uncle's place, okay?” She said, giving me a sad smile.Don’t leave me, please. I couldn’t control my sobs anymore, tears streamed uncontrollably down my face as I held my moms hands. “ Keisha” she said in a hoarse voice, “I’ll always love you no matter what, remember that and promise me that you’ll be happy” she took my hands and gave it a weak squeeze.And that’s when I heard
Chapter fifteen Keisha’s Pov “Why don’t you live with your parents, Keisha? He kept asking the same question over and over again. “Where are your parents, why don’t you live with them? Do you still talk with your parents? I start breathing fast and heavy because it feels as if my lungs aren’t getting enough air. Adrian notices and gets up from his chair. “That’s enough, dad.” Adrian said in a stern voice . “I’m just asking her a question, Adrian”. And it all starts coming back. The flashbacks, the pain, what I’ve been trying to forget for the past 8 years, what I’ve been trying to run away from, and suddenly I can’t breathe. “Well clearly it isn’t just a question” Adrian says and rushes over to me. He took my hands in his and intertwined our fingers. “This interrogation thing that you're doing is over, come on Keisha we are leaving.” I got up and left my breathing still fast and heavy, I was starting to get dizzy. Adrian I can’t breathe, I said as I squeezed his hands tighter, m
Keisha’s Pov I got back from the hospital, and I was left alone to rest a bit while Sophia made dinner for me. Adrian went to speak to Leo about his parents arrival. I am really scared meeting his parents, I mean what are the odds they wouldn’t even like me. I am just helpless and damaged girl. Who will want such for their Luna and their son, I just wish there will like me. I just sit by my window thinking about what the Doc had said earlier. Could it really be true, was any of my parents Lycans ? The Doc said my Lycan is ready to be unleashed and release its power, but what if I’m not able to control my powers, what if I end up hurting the people around, the people I care so much about. All this thoughts running through my mind that I didn’t hear when Sophia came into the room. “Are you still thinking about what the Doctor said? You shouldn’t stress yourself you know you just got back from the hospital you have to rest and my mom might be able to help a lot cause she’s known abou
Adrian’s Pov I woke up with Keisha still cuddling me and the thought of last night flashed back and I smiled to myself. Keisha is so precious to me and I will do anything to protect her and I will stand by her all the time. Not wanting to wake her up I untangled our bodies and got up to the bathroom quietly, I did my business and it time to see what the doctor has been working on, before I go back to the pack house to get some food for Keisha because I know if she wakes she will be very hungry and she must be very tired because of yesterday. “Alpha, I see that you are awake already,” the pack doctor said. Yes, I am Doc. I came to check on what you have been working on and to see if any test result has come out yet. “There’s nothing to be worried about Alpha, later today the test result will be out, but before that I will check up on Luna to see if she’s stable and free to go home.” Alright that wouldn’t be a problem, I will just head back to the pack house freshen up and get some
Keisha’s Pov I watched as Adrian took one of the blankets from the shelf heading to the couch to sleep and I know he has been exhausted from working and if I let him sleep on the couch he wouldn’t have a good sleep. Hey Adrian, I noticed you look really tired and exhausted. Would you like to sleep on the bed instead of the couch so you can have a more comfortable sleep? And before you day the bed is small, I know that and I’m not complaining. “Thanks so much my love. I really appreciate your kind gesture.” I watched as he got into bed with me and got comfortable. How was your day today? Is there anything you want to talk about?" “My day was pretty busy, my love but now is not the time for me but you. How are you feeling? Are you still in heat? Do you want to try what the doctor suggested?” We could try what the doctor suggested, I am in and I know I can’t run away from it, I think I am ready I said looking into his eyes to let him know how serious I am. He is my mate and I am wi
