~Xavier~

My senses went on high alert and I instinctively ducked, using my body as a cover for Kira’s body.

“What was that?” Kira’s voice trembled with concern, her eyes wide with fear as she clutched my hand tightly.

My eyes darted left and right as I rose swiftly from the table, my sense ablaze with urgency. “I don’t know, but I have to find out”

Almost immediately, four guards came into the dining room and I quickly handed Kira over to them to lead her safely back to her while I go to find out what the problem was. I was about to go out with the remaining guards when Kira grabbed my hand.

“Where are you going?” she asked, her face white with fear.

“I need to find out what the commotion is about. We might have had attacks from rogue werewolves. And from the scream that we heard earlier, a Pack member might have been wounded, or worse.”

She gripped my hand even tighter. “But it’s not safe. Come with me and wait till everything is over”

I forced a smile to my lips even though

    ~Kira~All day long, I paced up and down my room, waiting for Xavier to come back just as he promised. But it was nearing evening now and there was no sign of him yet. My heart started to palpitate with the thought of something bad happening to him. I’d been told by the guards that Xavier had ordered that I remain in my room till further notice. But how long was I supposed to stay here waiting?What if the person who released the gun shot had shot him?But even at that, he was supposed to heal quickly. At least that was one of the perks of being a werewolf, and an alpha at that. And if he had healed quickly, then why wasn’t he back?I walked to my window and raised the blinds so that I could see what was happening outside. There were groups of girls gathered together and whispering. I strained my ears to hear what they were saying but try as I could, I just wasn’t a vampire with some sort of super hearing. I let the blinds down and plopped on a sofa. Maybe he just had other Pack matt

    ~Kira~“The alpha seems to be a lover of flowers, seeing how he dedicated this whole expanse of land to it. Do you think he loves nature?”He stared at me for a while, realization dawning in his eyes. “That was nice. Very commendable”“What was nice?” I asked.“You curving my question like that. Avoiding it so smoothly to talk about the alpha’s taste in nature and flowers. It was so smooth that I almost went along with the flow” A smile tugged on my lips, even though I tried my best not to show it. Giggling at every little thing that a man says shows interest and I wasn’t about to have the man who’s somehow always in the garden, think that I’m interested in him. “Don’t tell me that you’re thinking of cheating on our mate with a random man” Keren chipped in before I could complete my line of thought.I was starting to miss the times when she was a dormant wolf. At least she doesn’t get in my thoughts and poke-nose into every discussion without permission. Besides, why would I want t

    ~Kira~The private hospital didn’t look anything like I’d imagined it. When I heard a private hospital, I had expected a part of the Pack hospital, which was cut off from the rest of the building. But what I saw was entirely different.The private hospital was a totally different building, far away from the general Pack hospital. Usually, I hated everything that had to do with hospitals, but this one here has everything that could acme one feel relaxed. The antiseptic hospital smell couldn’t even be smelt anywhere around.Aliana had gone back after showing me where the hospital was. And now, I was being accompanied by a nurse. She got to a door and knocked twice before opening it, then she gestured me inside.Xavier sat on the edge of the bed, with a drip set in his hand, staring blankly at the wall. He didn’t look as terrible as I thought he would, but he looked a little weak. There was an almost invisible scar on his shoulder, which I assumed was where he was shot with the wolfsbane

    ~Kira~“We have orders from the alpha to lock you up in the dungeon. Please, follow us without resisting”I gaped at the guards who surrounded me. it was barely five minutes after I’d left the office of the doctor in charge of Xavier’s health. I’d been so weakened by the news that I received so I decided to sit in the reception for a while to process it.It was in the process of trying to get my bearings together that the three guards walked up to me to say that they got an order from Alpha Xavier to take me to the dungeon and keep me there for as long as possible. And without food and water, until I confess and tell them the names of the people who sent me to spy on the Pack.“I’m not a spy. I’m the alpha’s mate. You can ask him” I told the guards, trying to get whatever bounty they have on my head off.They looked at me like I was crazy, and then looked at each other. It was Xavier’s fault for not telling anyone that I was his mate. Because if he had, I wouldn’t have to do all these

    ~Kira~“Kira, wake up”I mumbled incoherent words unconsciously and turned to my side. A hand continuously pushed on my shoulders, disrupting the sleep that I think I worked hard for. I groaned in frustration and pushed it away, not wanting to be disturbed.“Kira, you need to wake up. It’s not safe here” the voice came again.That was none of my business. I wasn’t in a war zone so anywhere that isn’t in war is safe for me. Besides, I’m in a cell that my amnesia mate put me into. And I’m alone here. So what could possibly be the threat?Hold on.I wasn’t alone. There was someone with me in here. The same person who had been trying to wake me up for some time now. Slowly, I opened my eyes and tried to see who was there. The cell had gotten darker so it was probably late evening now, or even night time. I could barely see.“We need to leave immediately. I need you to follow me. I can help us escape from here”I curled back to the end of the cell, almost melting into the walls as the voic

    ~Kira~“It’s just me, Kira. Calm down”I didn’t want to hear the voice anymore. Neither did I want to see her. All that she was saying was rubbish and I wasn’t going to be here to listen to her. I wasn’t going back to the Crescent Pack with her either. I’d rather stay here and find out the kind of craziness that she was talking about. It was better than going back to see the two people who I trusted most in the world who ended up betraying me.“Let me go. Leave me alone!” I screamed yet again, bringing my mouth to her hands and biting down on it hard.“What the fuck! Hey! You need to wake up. It’s Xavier!”The voice registered in my brain and I stopped struggling. I opened my eyes and saw that I held Xavier in a death grip. And it wasn’t night either. It was daytime. And it looked like the sun was up in its full glory.Behind him was the omega, whom I now recognize as Alianna.“Xavier?” I whispered and took a good look at my environment.I wasn’t lying on the cold, hard, floor that I’

    ~Xavier~“You’re getting married? How!”I picked up the stick that was lying on a nearby wall, and whipped it around to face Jayden who had a confused expression on his face. I’d just thrown the bomb on him that I was going to get married during the next full moon, which happened to be in the next seven days, and he had been erratic since then.“I don’t know. It just happened. And honestly, I can’t wait to mark her, and make her mine” I said.“Hold on, Xavier; I’m still confused here. Who exactly are you getting married to? Because I can’t recall you telling me anything about finding a second chance mate”I swung the stick at him and he blocked it with quick defense. “That is because you did not know about it. I intentionally decided to keep you in the dark”“You lied to me about finding your mate?”“No. I kept it away from you. There's a difference. Besides, There’s no need for you to be so shocked. You have an idea of who the person is”With the stick still in my hand, I packed up s

    ~Kira~I was almost unable to move as I came face to face with Xavier unexpectedly. He immediately turned around as I screamed and raised his hands.“I didn’t see anything. I swear”His words prompted me into action immediately. I quickly reached for the towel that I left on the hinge of the bathroom door and wrapped myself in it.“Do you not know about knocking? Or are you too primal to adopt that action?” I muttered and walked backward toward my wardrobe to pick out a dress to wear.“I’m sorry. I didn’t think you were in. and your door was open” he replied, trying to turn around.“Don’t!” I said, stretching out my hand towards him, “Stay right where you are”“Yes ma’am, not going to move until you say so” he replied, snickering.I quickly went through my wardrobes and selected a yellow sundress. I felt like it would do well to hide my stomach which I felt was starting to show a little. To other people’s eyes though, my stomach looked normal but to me, who has had a wall flat tummy a

    ~Kira~It has been one hell of a week. I knew it wasn't going to be roses and unicorns. I knew that once I stepped foot into Crescent Pack, they would want to have my head. If it wasn't for Alpha Jake who was beside me, and all the warriors that he took from Half Moon Pack, then I would have been dead by now. It took some time to quiet everything down. They didn't trust me until I recounted the story that the witch told me and where my heritage came from. I wanted nothing more than for everyone to live in peace. I proposed a merger with Half Moon Pack which at first they all refused since both Packs had long been sworn enemies but since the Pack had no alpha, and Jayden was the one who was running everything, he decided for the elders of the council to conclude on what they wanted.Both Pack elders went into a meeting. The elders from Half Moon Pack and the elders from Crescent Pack all came together. It took a lot of convincing for them to finally agree to a merger. Jayden was sh

    ~Kira~"Don't worry my love, you don't have to be nervous about it. She isn't harmful, even though she may appear intimidating.” Jake said, rubbing my shoulders in reassurance. I gulped down my nervousness especially when the witch walked in.I was expecting to see a grouchy old lady, but she was quite young. I removed the hood from my head. I had insisted on it so that no one would recognize us. I am glad that Beta Aiden decided to look after Sawyer.She sat down in front of us. Her eyes widened when she made eye contact with me."I can say that I am quite surprised to see you, Alpha Jake. The last time you were here was to make an inquiry about how your late Luna couldn't give birth to your child. Now you are here with a much different wolf. A very powerful one at that. I never thought that you were still alive. I thought you had died." My hold on Jake tightened. She didn't mean it in a scary way but I still felt shivers run down my spine."What do you mean by that? Do you know w

    ~Kira~To say that I was surprised was an understatement. I always knew that Ella was all kinds of evil, but I never knew that she would go to the extent of trying to lace my drink with poison.I don't know how she drank the poison, but I am grateful to whoever swapped the drink. I have had a taste of what consuming wolfsbane felt like and it wasn't a good feeling. I was still astonished at how I survived that torture. Maybe because I wasn't forced to drink it but Ella wanted to kill me on the spot. She wanted to give me a humiliating death just the way she gave to that Councilman.It has been days since her funeral and the execution of the bodyguard who was her accomplice. I don't even know the man and yet he had so much grudge against me.Things were beginning to quiet down in the Pack. Even though people still talked about Ella's sudden death, all these things that had been going on made me realize something and I didn't want to waste any more time. I decided to accept Jake back

    ~Jake~When I heard the loud thud and saw Ella passed out on the floor, I thought it was one of her little pranks for seeking attention. I was going to commend her for staying drama-free at this party, but I guess I was too quick to speak.When I noticed that it wasn't a prank, and something was really wrong with her, I rushed towards her but Aiden was already there. With the help of some guests, Ella was moved into her room where the Pack doctor examined her.I thought that maybe she was sick or wasn't feeling well, but when he told me that Ella had consumed a large amount of wolfsbane, I was shocked.wolfsbane was banned from the Pack ages ago, so where the hell did that come from? And of all places, it had to be the party that I was throwing for Kira. Was someone trying to sabotage me purposely?He said there was no way to save her and that the poison was already spreading to her heart. I watched as Ella convulsed to death, the look of anguish on her face. I knew that she didn't w

    ~Ella~This party was a colossal waste of time. The bitch has rarely stood up from her seat. She was supposed to be up and about so that she would take the poisoned drink that I'd arranged, from the server close to her.I couldn't take my eyes off her because I didn't want to miss the death show that was about to happen. All I needed her to do was take that glass of wine.She mingled with just a few people, but everyone wanted to talk to her. They were treating her as if she was some sort of celebrity and I know that she was loving the attention even though she pretended not to do so.What a sneaky little snake. Girls like Kira were so easy to predict. I knew that she had sex with Alpha Jake. Even though she pretended to hate him, she wouldn't waste any time spreading her legs for that jerk.I couldn't wait for the highlight of this party. Kira would soon be taken out as a corpse. In her next miserable life, she would wish that she had never met Alpha Jake or been his mate. Kira did

    ~Kira~I never thought that I would ever have sex with Alpha Jake again but I can't say that I regretted it. There was this burning desire in me that I have been pushing away ever since I came back to Half Moon Pack, but yesterday I decided to give in to it and I can say that it was one of the best nights of my life.I knew that I had been lying to myself all this while, that somewhere within me I still had feelings for him.Well, since the moon goddess loves to play with me a lot, I decided that I have had enough of pushing Alpha Jake away. I was going to embrace my feelings for him.I accepted the idea of having a party for me and Sawyer. I just didn't expect a lot of people to turn up. I was hoping that not a lot of people would show up for the party but it seems as if everyone wanted to get a glimpse of Luna Kira, Alpha Jake's former mate whom he rejected.I know they were all waiting for some kind of drama. Maybe they were hoping for Alpha Jake to call all this a prank.I could

    ~Ella~When I remembered the conversation I overheard, I felt like killing Kira and melting her body in acid. She was truly a snake. From afar, you would think she was so docile but she was nothing but a serpent, and she has succeeded in slithering her way into my husband's life.All he ever talks about now is Kira this, and Kira that. It was really starting to get irritating hearing that name constantly.I knew that killing Kira would not be easy but I wanted to give her a more painful and humiliating death than Councilman Martinez. Only a few wolves knew how he died. Jake didn't give full disclosure to people who were curious about his death and what was the cause of it, but with Kira, I would make sure that everyone would see her.When I found out that Jake was having a party in honor of her return, I felt as if a thousand needles were being pricked into my heart and skin. He kept on giving me excuses whenever I asked for something, but with Kira, he was ready to move mountains. An

    ~Jake~Something doesn't feel right. No matter how much I tried to ignore it, I knew that Councilman Martinez's death wasn't suicide. That guard knows something. He was protecting someone. He wouldn't give up who the criminal was.Whoever killed him took their precious time killing him. The poison ivy was just to make him go through pain. The itching and swelling were nasty to even look at.I wonder what his thoughts were as he died. What was the motive of the killer? I know that Councilman Martinez was a very dirty man. He wasn't straightforward. His death wasn't a surprise to me nor am I going to mourn for him, that was for his wife and son who had also suddenly gone missing. I decided to take a break from catching the mysterious killer and focus on Kira who has been acting strange ever since I came back with Sawyer. She didn't give me her usual gentle smile, instead, she snatched Sawyer from me, slamming the door in my face. I stood there in utter shock and when I raised my hand

    ~Kira~A loud knock interrupted my reading session. I thought it was Alpha Jake or his annoying Beta. I haven't seen him ever since he said he was taking Sawyer for a walk.I wasn't worried though. I knew Jake wouldn't allow anything to happen to our son. I opened the door only to see Ella standing before me.I hardened my look. What the hell did she want now? Hasn't she made my life a living hell enough? I always avoided being in the same room with Ella. I knew that she wanted nothing but trouble and I was not in the mood for her drama. She was a manipulative liar and I didn't want to be caught in her web of lies.I almost closed the door in her face but she put out a hand, pushing it wide open, inviting herself into my room.When she walked past me, I caught a whiff of a very familiar smell. I scrunched up my nose. It wasn't pleasant to the nose. I couldn't really pinpoint what kind of smell it was since it was covered by her usual minty scent, but it was as if she combined her
