KIARA’S POV: I twisted around with a glare, my eyes sweeping across the woods and landing on a woman in all black with a mask covering her face as she entered the forest from the shed’s direction, a gun cocked on her shoulder and a broad grin on her lips. The scent she owns…is one that I’ve marked as an enemy’s, but there’s no doubt that she’s the one who shot the bullets. Has she switched sides?“You're the human who stopped my fight?” I dug my glare into her skin. “Yes.” Her grin widened, smug devouring her features, “But what’s up with that glare? I saved you and I even went and brought backup. You people are stressful, especially my mate. Where is he?”Backup?Right on cue, the sound of paws echoed through the forest and werewolves suddenly thundered in behind her, one after the other…both in human and wolf form. I tilted my head. These wolves…somehow, I can tell that they belong to mate’s pack with just a whiff of their scent, but where did they all come from? This many alli
CLARA’S POV: Clattering made me stir awake, cold breeze hitting my skin and my eyelids slowly blinking open. I looked at the ceiling above me, my hand reaching up to grip my head when it throbbed and dizziness passed over me. “Argh.” I turned my head, catching sight of a knife in someone’s hand as they chopped what looked like an apple into small pieces. I ran my gaze up his arm, and to his face, meeting Kasan's eyes as he looked down at me. He wearing a black suit, and his hair was styled neatly towards the back as if he had just returned from a formal meeting. But despite his shockingly nice appearance, he reeked of that foul scent of dead bodies. “You’re up? How are you feeling? It’s a good thing I decided to dress nicely today.” He grinned, setting down the knife and lifting the plate for me to see. “You want apples?”Is it time to grin like that? The battle…what happened? “You look totally different from the last time I saw you.” I pressed my hands to the bed, pushing myself
CLARA’S POV: A month later Now, a month after nights upon nights of vigorously trying to control my wolf, my new titles have somehow become: ‘devil luna’, ‘devil Donna’, ‘devil she-wolf, just anything with a devil before it! The reason, you ask? Well, my wolf is the new me…basically. It seems my own body doesn’t even belong to me, since I’m the one who’s always fighting for control! She takes over typically whenever Kasan is out of sight and lunges at whomever she spots first, be it humans, the rest of the pack or a freaking rat. For some reason, she usually spares my brother, his mate, Kenley and my parents from her violence. But that doesn’t make it any less bad! And don’t get me started on full moons. She’s like a feral animal! Believe me, I’ve tried to control this wretched behavior of hers, but unless Kasan’s around, everything that breathes becomes her punching bag. So that ‘training’ he mentioned, was utterly useless. It was almost nighttime when I sat on my bed, a matchst
Positive….All freaking positive…. every single one of them….I’m pregnant… I’M PREGNANT!I can feel the unmistakable budding of excitement in my chest as I looked down at the tests in front of me, but the anxiety…was also unfortunately sparking… Is this a moment where I should pop a smile? I can’t even bring myself to do that much. Fuck. I keep thinking about whether he’ll like this or not. Well…I mean, he needs his heir to take over, so obviously he’ll want a child. But will he be ‘happy’? As in, does he really want a baby with me? Like Lora said, he might not even be fond of it. Or am I thinking too much?“Oye! Get out if you don’t want me to come get you.” A shout came from Ash along with the sound of fists banging against the bathroom door. I sighed. She’s the last person I want to know about this, but the situation has already gone bad. I slid the tests off the counter and into the trash bin beside it then sluggishly washed my hands at the sink, sighing for the second time.
“Your nose is pretty good now. I’m impressed.” He walked over and sat next to me, his hand pushing my legs down so his head could lay across my lap. His hand then reached for my hair and gently, he twirled strands around his finger as his gaze bored into me. “What’s with that look? Are you bored? You missed me?” He leaned upward and connected his warm lips with mine, gently molding them together. I could feel his smile blossom while he kissed me, but the longer he went on and got no response, it quickly faltered. He pulled back, licking his lips. “Babe?” He frowned, sitting up and moving my feet onto his lap, slipping one hand around my lower back whilst the other moved to massage my legs. “We haven’t seen each other in a while but it looks like you’re not happy to see me since you’re cursing me six feet under with your eyes. I’ve been busy, haven’t I? I know your wolf is restless when I’m not around.” I looked away, gritting my teeth. If he knows, why leave me here everyday! I can
“You’re not fucking leaving this room!” His voice had risen high enough for pretty much everyone in the house to hear, so to say I was taken aback would have been an understatement.He was seething, and all that anger glistening in his golden eyes was pinned on me. I went to move back, but when my feet did not budge even an inch, I quickly realized what was happening. He used a fucking command! “I said I’m going to Lucas. It’s not like I’m leaving the house.” I mumbled, “Why are you even shouting? And a command? Seriously?” I tried to hold eye contact through my words, but his gaze digging into me was so annoyingly intense that I had no choice but to break it, dropping my head.I grinded my teeth, tugging my hand out of his hold with one hard pull. “Is this what you’ll keep doing from now on? You’ll use it whenever I’m like this? Am I your fucking dog?” A frustrated sigh left his lips and he pulled back, putting a bit of distance between us. “That’s not what I wanted to do.” His v
The evening was a bit chilly when I went out to stretch my legs a little. Sitting around all day and doing nothing felt like it was going to make me lose my sanity anytime soon. What’s the duty of a Luna anyway? I have nothing to do. “Are you tired?” Kasan’s arm slid around my back as we walked side by side, his head peeping over so he could take a quick glance over my face. “You’re sweating. Want me to carry you?”More than a dozen footsteps could be heard trailing behind us, and the sound irritated me to the bone. I strictly told him I wanted to go out on my own, but he insisted on tagging along and also bringing a truck load of his men. Now we look like weirdos walking around on the street with men in black suits strolling behind us. Ugh! I should’ve left without telling him! “I came to take a walk, why would you carry me?” I rolled my eyes. “And I literally told you not to just a moment ago. How many times will you ask the same thing?”“But if you feel---” “I’m fine.” I’m not
“Gerald has a package for me, which of you wouldn’t mind bringing it?” Kasan questioned, grinning like they’re old times friends who hadn’t seen each other for a decade. He's been chatting with them for a fucking half a day! That’s quite an exaggeration but still! “Package? I will!” One of them offered, a little too enthusiastically might I add, “Is it guns?! Wolfsbane?!” Their loudness is giving me a headache. I feel like they’d be much more annoying than Ash to be around. “You just gotta bring it, that’s all. Since that’s settled, we’ll be leaving now. I'll see you three next time, I have a meeting with Gerald soon.” Kasan shoved his hand into his pocket, and while his eyes didn’t leave their figures, he leaned closer to me and pressed his lips close to my ear, smirking. “I can feel your glare. Be good for once, babe. They’re valuable friends.” His tongue flicked my earlobe and I jolted, hand flying up to cover my ear. I gave him a ‘what the fuck’ glare, and his response to that
**Six years later**I sat on the porch of our mansion, rocking my chair back and forth as I stared into the woods up ahead, watching three distant figures move through the trees: Kasan and the twins. It’s pretty windy outdoors and the breeze has basically messed up every strand atop my head despite having just gotten here. It’s the perfect time for a run, but sadly, I can’t. Not while I’m like this…I glanced down at my protruding belly, smiling. Its funny how six years ago I never wanted to have any wolfy powers, but now when I’m not allowed to shift, I begin to miss it every passing day. Speaking of that, ever since the twins, Kiara has been behaving. She’s snappy, but she doesn’t try to force control anymore. I think we’ve formed some sort of truce?“Clara!” The door swung open from the inside and a fuming Ash stepped out, glaring daggers at me, “Where’d you hide the Nutella?!” I rolled my eyes, “Unless, it’s for my cute little nephew, go buy your own. I told you to stop rai
“You want anything? I’ll make it for you.” His nose nuzzled into my neck, sniffing at my skin while his hand slipped under my T-Shirt, caressing my stomach directly. “Nope. I thought you were gonna ignore me for the rest of your stupid life.” I grumbled, a small triumphant smile forming at my lips. I totally knew he couldn’t ignore me for long. “I was thinking about it.” His lips left kisses over my neck, “But…you’re having a hard time sleeping because of me. I can’t let my princess suffer.” “Suffer?” I slapped my hand against my neck, separating his mouth from my skin and shifting on the bed to face him. “What the hell? You’re the one who’s suffering.” I poked his chest. “How long have you been lying there not sleeping?”“I was waiting for you to be a good girl and apologize.” He admitted, shamelessly lifting my shirt then pressing his ear against my stomach. He stayed at that spot for a few seconds and kissed my belly-button before sliding up, stuffing his head between my breasts
I snatched my hand out of Aiden's grasp, holding it to my chest as I quickly snapped my head to the side, spotting my mate standing just a few steps away from us. His men stood behind him, my brother included. Lucas had disappeared at some point when Aiden was yapping, but I thought he went to take a piss or something! Looking at things now, did he run off to snitch?!“W-When did you come? I didn’t even smell you…” I gulped.“What the fuck are you doing?” Kasan's eyes dropped to my wrist and I paled when they shifted suddenly to a bright golden, fury slipping over his face. His fists tightened at his side and veins rose on his arms as a dangerously wicked aura surrounded his figure, spreading through the club. As if sensing danger, a bunch of people shuffled out as if fire was on their tale, while a few inquisitive ones stayed to stare. Fuck. I expected him to be angry when I decided to come here, but right now he seems to be seething beyond my expectation. “Uh…well…you weren’t hom
When we got to the club, my excitement had gotten to it’s highest heights and the exhilarating chills running down my back was something I’d missed greatly. Aside from the number of scents overwhelming me and the fact that my ears are a little sensitive, this is awesome! Everything is awesome! We hit the dance floor as soon as we landed, but me and Lucas were the only lone wolves who had no partners. Plus, the twins and Ash decided not to tag along in the end, so barely any close companion either. Still, it was fun nonetheless. Afterwards, we went to the bar and it was at that point that I began to think ‘this isn’t as fun as I thought’. First of all, it was stressful watching them enjoy themselves drinking liquor while knowing full well I can’t do the same. Second of all, the stupid eyes on me make me feel like I’m in some sort of cage. The guys keep glancing at me every few seconds and people I have never seen before seem to have taken interest in my presence, most of them smell
