Kara's POV...

Hopping happily on my feet as I headed back to my room, I grinned from ear to ear. Luscious had insisted I stay back in his room. But I didn't want to and promised to wait until he fell asleep. He looked so innocent with his eyes closed. I don't know how else to thank him. I never would have thought coming out of slavery would be at the tip of my palm. He has made my life easier. That reminds me, I need to keep Diana updated. I wouldn't have gotten this far if it hadn't been for her.

As I passed through the entrance into the garden, I felt a violent tug from the hallway, causing me to stumble into the moonlit garden. My heart paced really fast in fear, and Amaya stood on guard. My scream had stayed stuck in my throat because of the sudden attack. My attacker stood in front of me without a glimpse of regret.

I kissed my teeth in irritation, "what is all of this about, Simon?" Although I am really pissed at the moment, I feel some sort of calm knowing it's him and seeing

    Kara's POV... I don't know if going straight to Logan is a good idea. But then he assured me I could come to him when I needed help. I turned and tossed all night long, feeling burdened. Simon's words haunted me all through the night. If he makes do to his promise to cause a rift between Luscious and me, that would pose a lot of trouble. I don't want to regret not taking action when I could. I can't tell which hurts me the most. Simon's spiteful comments or the possibility of me losing Luscious.Inhaling deeply, I knocked on the study door. A faint response came from within. I opened the door gently and went in. He had his head buried in work. The more I stare at him, the more I realize the affection I thought I had for him was no more. Probably, it was all just lust at play.He glanced up at me, "Kara, how are you doing?"I felt more relaxed at his expression. "I am fine, thank you. Do you have a minute, please? I would like to talk to you."Logan furrowed his brows, "is everything

    Simon's POV... I know Luscious has nothing really important to do. He must have gone to meet Kara. I hope for her own good; she will let my words sink in and do her best to stay away from him."You sound so evil." Kai accused."I didn't do anything wrong." I retorted. "I'm saving everyone from an impending doom.""Don't blame me when you start having regrets.""What do you mean?""The fact that you are lying to yourself, refusing to acknowledge the storm mounting in your mind.""You are not making any sense, Kai. Just shut up!" I ordered.He did as told, not making any sound. I don't know what he keeps yapping about; I have no hidden motive for refusing Kara and Luscious's relationship. I'm only being proactive. I might have come off too harsh, but it's for the best. I intend to make things right with Selena once everything is settled. Shaking my head, I returned my attention to the business of the day. Logan had called for me, which seems surprising. Bo

    Author's POV...Selena exhaled tiredly as she stared out blankly at the large expanse of land. The slaves seem to be working extra hard, which definitely has something to do with her standing there. Her mind was elsewhere. If the heart is bared out like the physical body is, everyone would see how shattered she is. It has never happened that she wouldn't be in touch with Simon for days rolling into weeks. They are always glued together despite their busy schedules.She misses him so much, but Selena can't bring herself to beg him after his attitude towards her the last time they spoke. She has constantly been trying hard to not blame Kara's presence as the reason behind their fallout. But it's inevitable. Ever since Kara stepped foot back in the packhouse, it felt like everything Simon concerns himself about is her. Selena knows it's just his hatred towards Kara that appears a bit overboard. There is nothing more to it, or so she thinks.Feeling frustrated, she turn

    Kara's POV... I leaned back into the bed frame, watching Luscious dress up. He is a sight to watch whenever he gets ready for work. We have had a long night of sex, and my body feels so light; all I want is to eat and go back to bed. It feels so good to be free. It's been about a week since I went to Logan for help, and since then, I haven't heard from Simon. He seems to be avoiding me."If you keep staring at me like that, I might decide against going to work." He said, making seductive faces at me.I laughed softly, "You want the Alpha to be on our tail? I also need to get ready to work. I will see you later tonight.""Alright, baby." He mused, leaning in for a kiss."Bye."Taking a deep breath, I fell back into the bed, enjoying the comfort. If I had a choice, I wouldn't go out to work at all. I have been assigned to the kitchen with Diana. She would cover for me even if I was late. Drifting into sleep, I got up at the loud knock on the door. Luscious would

    Simon's POV... "I planned something nice for the both of us tonight," Selena whispered in my ears as I buttoned up my shirt.I hummed, "really. What would that be?"Her smile beautifully tugged at her lips. "Well, it's a surprise, and I just want you to be aware of it so you can get prepared."I pulled her closer to me, nuzzling her nape. "Can I get a hint of what it might be?""It's no longer a surprise if I give you a major hint." She giggled, caressing my back.I pouted playfully, "You are such a killjoy. Would it kill you to tell me?""It would."I tickled her sides, and she laughed loudly, throwing her head to the back. I like the glow on her face lately. Since it's my doing, I feel fulfilled knowing I did the right thing by forgetting about Kara and her love life. Kai has also stopped meddling with my thoughts."Stop it, Simon. Please.""Fine. I will see you tonight, then.""Alright, baby. See you later. I love you.""Love you too." I k

    Kara's POV... The clearing of throats behind us made me jolt like an electrocuted person. Luscious looked smugged to my annoyance. Something twitched in me when my eyes met Simon. Logan, on the other hand, had a smirk on his face."So sorry for disrupting your moment; you both can continue." Logan urged, making a funny face at Simon, who didn't look pleased. The stiffness in his bones shows how uninterested he is in whatever we might be doing."Thank you, Alpha," Luscious replied, grinning.I watched the both of them walk away and felt like a piece of me went with them. What was up with Simon acting so indifferent? For some reason, I'm not too pleased at the blank look in his eyes."I need to return to the kitchen," I told Luscious."Why? Your cheeks are colored. Don't tell me you are embarrassed?" He joked.I cut him a hard glare, "I told you I didn't like us being so affectionate in public. Now, see what you have done."He looked surprised, "what do yo

    Simon's POV...I couldn't focus on whatever Selena seemed to be sharing with me. My eyes kept darting back to Kara and Luscious acting cozy with each other. I have been plagued with that view for weeks, and it's really getting to me. I have tried hard to concentrate on something else, but something keeps bringing it back to my mind, and I find myself getting extremely mad at Kara for being so shameless. Maybe I am the one with the actual problem."Baby," Selena called out, holding my jaw. "Why are you frowning? Are you uncomfortable with what I said?"I shook my head, clearing my throat, "Oh no, not that at all. I am sorry. What was it you were saying?"She giggled, slapping my thigh gently, "You are so silly. It's obvious you are tired. It's been a long day, anyway. We should go back to sleep now."I nodded hurriedly, "yes, that sounds like a really good idea."As we packed up the meal basket and spread cloth. Selena sighed, "Even though I am not muc

    Kara's POV... Luscious nibbled at my nipple and went on to suck it loudly. As nice as it felt, my mind was elsewhere, and I don't know why. I should be happy that Simon is out of my way and won't be bothering me for a long time. But a part of me hates, which is a strong word, but it just feels very right, how much Selena's hands roamed Simon's body. It had angry goosebumps rising on my skin. I don't like any bit of it."Are you okay?" Luscious asked, caressing my face.I sat up, taking a long breath. "yes, I am fine. Sorry."He smiled gently, "It's obvious you are very tired. Let's just sleep in." He urged, wrapping his arms around me.I feel so dirty for not immersing myself in the beautiful moments I get to share with luscious. It just feels like there is some kind of lost spark between us. He has been nothing but amazing to me. He satisfies me in every way possible. But I can't feel the connection enough. Almost like there is something hidden and unfamiliar to

    Kara's POVMy eyes stirred and I opened them to see where I am. The floor of the cold cell isn't this comfy, I thought to myself as I tried to remember what happened to me. I remember being dragged out of the cell, but I was too weak to know where they were taking me to. Carl probably had a rethink. I sat up and looked around again. This isn't the room that I stayed in at Carl's pack house. Neither is this Carl's room. It took me a moment to realize where I am. This can't be. How did I return to the Red Lotus pack? Did they bring me back to punish me? Just when I thought Carl's punishment will be the death of me. Here I am again, back to where I started from. Tears welled up in my eyes as fear enveloped me. If I knew I was going to get caught again this easily, I would have just stayed back to get punished appropriately and not have myself be humiliated by Carl. My hand caressed the spot where the vase scarred me. The wound has been attended to. I wonder what they all have going

    Simon's POVI was ready to cause a lot of trouble the minute I arrived the Crescent Moon pack, just incase I am not allowed to enter. Keeping my raging nerves in check as I got led to meet Carl, I tried not to show my intentions on my face. I couldn't stop thinking of the condition Kara might be in. She has really lost her mind to think coming to Carl is the best option she has. I feel hurt and disappointed at the same time. But for now, I don't care about all that. All I need right now is for her to be safe. It will make me feel at peace the most. Carl had a snide smirk on his face the minute I stepped into his meeting hall. "To what do I owe this noncommittal visit, Beta Simon?" He inquired. "I am here for Kara." I stated"I am guessing you are the father of the bastard." He mumbled with an obvious disgust on his face. I stood my ground, unflinching at his intimidating glare. "Where is Kara, Alpha Carl? You know better to have sent her back to the Red Lotus pack when she cam

    Kara's POVMy body felt like it would break into pieces. I finally got dressed after battling with drowsiness for so many hours. Carl returned yesterday and I have been prepped to become his concubine. For the past few days that I have been here, I have had the most conflicted string of thoughts. Many times I thought of swallowing my shame and return to the Red Lotus pack, most importantly to Simon. I miss him so much it hurts. But then, I had to consider my child's life. Becoming the talk of the pack because of something his or her mother did, will be an unfair life for such child. That had prompted me to maintain my resolve and endure whatever it is Carl died to me. It will all be worth it in the next few months. I might be able to really escape after gathering enough money to settle in a far away pack with my child. It won't be long. I hate that this is the only possible solution for me. What kind of mother am I? Truth be told, I have never thought of the life I would lead if

    Author's POVLogan had an amused expression on his face when he entered the room to find a naked Alexa on the bed with her legs spread out waiting for him. He pulled at his shirt while holding her gaze. "Is there an occasion?" He inquired in a low tone. Alexa flipped her loose hair to the back as she crawled towards the edge of the bed. "I don't know, you tell me." She cooed seductively, wetting her lips. He gulped hard at the sight, it's been a while since he shared an intimate moment with her. They always get distracted by their new born. It's either that or Alexa feels too exhausted and he has to comply with her needs. Seeing her in her full glory after what he considers and excruciatingly long period of time. It makes his wolf very excited. "Come." She urged, motioning to him with her finger. Logan walked to the foot of the bed and stood still when she placed a palm on his bare chest to stop him. Alexa worked her way down to his trouser and pulled it down his dick spran

    Author's POV Selena exhaled for the umpteenth time since she sat by the bath. Alexa had asked that she join her to bath her new born. Alexa knew she hadn't been herself for days and thought making her do something different will cheer her up. Instead, Selena has kept to herself and only smiling weakly at the baby from time to time. "You will end up looking too old for your age if you continue like this." Alexa threw a light joke. She hissed, "of what use is my youthful look when I can't get a man to love me." "Why are you sounding so dejected for crying out loud, Selena. I have told you time and time again that it's not your fault. And you aren't unfortunate just because this happened." "You say it like I really want to sulk all day. I can't get rid of the thoughts. It's always coming. I also want to break free from it, but I can't. I wish it didn't have to turn out like this. Probably if he had told me earlier, I would have gotten over it by

    Kara's POV My life right now is the exact illustration for back to square one. I remember how I had walked in here sometime ago and stood in the same hall with Carl showing himself off like the unattractive pig that he is. I can only hope my mind portal isn't opened and all my thoughts are out. Carl wouldn't hesitate to have my head chopped off to prove a point. I swallowed hard, holding up his gaze while trying hard to put on a smile. Carl had a devilish grin on his face. "What do we have here? How long has it been again? A year or two? You look better than the last time I saw you. Have you been feeding on blood?" He mocked. I swallowed whatever little pride remaining in me. I have already been humbled by life, it's time to throw it all in. "Well, it's been an adventure. I returned to the Red Lotus pack...." "What?" He didn't let me finish before blurting out like the bloody moron he is. "How can you be so cruel? You just had to go back. So did you g

    Kara's POV...This is the most dangerous decision I have ever attempted in my life. The safety that I am so keen on that I might not get at the Red Lotus pack. There is no assurance that I will get it at this supposed destination of mine. However, it felt like a good option an hour ago. It's been over a year since I returned to that packhouse that I have known all my life. In truth, it never felt like home until recently. I thought I had a place there, but I was wrong. I have cried so much that I don't have the strength to cry anymore.Thankfully I was able to get water to carry with me in my travel and some bread that I had sneaked in by Diana. She didn't know what I was planning to do at all. I had gone to the kitchen to tell her of my cravings. She appeared very delighted to give it to me. I hope she didn't get caught and be accused of stealing. I wish I had the luxury of time to thank her for being a shoulder to lean on when no one wanted to be associated with me. I

    Simon's POV...I try not to think of anything negative and just consider that she might be in the garden or around the pack house somewhere. She can't possibly leave. Why would Kara leave?"What if she did?" Kai interjected.I swallowed hard, and just then, my eyes caught sight of the paper on the bed. My heart thumped crazily as I walked towards it with caution. I picked it up with shaky hands like I could already tell what was in it. Clearing my throat, I stared at the letters. Kara has fine penmanship, but that isn't what matters right now. She wrote;"Dear Simon, I know by the time you see this, I would have been long gone. That is, if you ever see it. I think I have caused more than enough trouble as it is. I promised myself when I returned to the pack house that I would do better as a person. However, it turns out life played me. Forget that anything happened between us. Please take care of Selena; she doesn't deserve to be treated this way. Guilt wouldn'

    Simon's POV...My distorted state of mind didn't make me pay attention to what's in front of me. I unintentionally bumped into Luscious. I blinked rapidly at the sight of him. Apparently, Selena had been quite loud yesterday when she was raining curses on Kara. Everyone in the pack house knows now whose child Kara is carrying. It's not like it bothers me much. I just didn't expect that it would turn out this way. I squared my shoulder for what was to come and held Luscious's gaze. A punch, maybe, or a string of curses."Congratulations." He said to me with no hint of emotion in his eyes. I swallowed, not saying anything. "You know, I have always wondered why you were so against my relationship with her. You had your eyes on her and made sure to change her mind. Not only did you hurt her, you hurt Selena too. I should probably punch you in the face, but then that would be a waste of energy. I wanted to believe Kara had hurt me spitefully and lived up to her past reputatio
