~Jayden~I waited for her under the pine tree. I was getting restless as seconds turned into minutes and minutes into hours.I was worried. We were supposed to meet here but she was late. What could be the problem? This is so unlike her. She always liked to be punctual in everything. She hated being late.She would always hassle me whenever I came to an appointment late which was why I knew something was wrong.I hope Xavier didn't intercept her. He was getting quite cocky. He no longer had that fear in his eyes or that look of guilt whenever he talked about doing something bad instead, it looks as if he was taking joy in it.He promised me that he had buried that personality a long time ago. He told me that nothing would make him go back.He was truly crazy and I was scared of what he was going to do to Kira if I didn't find a way to intercept their relationship.He was becoming too obsessed with her, too possessive. Always watching her like a hawk.Kira may see it as love but I foun
~Kira~I look like stress itself. I haven't been getting enough sleep ever since I discovered how dubious Xavier was. I have basically been sleeping with one eye open.I was scared that he was going to smother me in my sleep, and I didn't want to take any chances. Paranoia has become my name lately. I didn't even share my worries with anyone. I don't even know who to trust.He was the Alpha and I was his Luna. People would look at me as if I was crazy if I were to tell them that their Alpha was nothing but a vicious cold-blooded killer who didn't have any remorse whatsoever for what he did, but instead took pride and joy in it. They will think that I was looking for attention all day and will even run straight to Xavier to tell himNot even Jayden and Alianna could know what I was going through. I no longer trusted anyone.Alianna proved me right when I asked her the other day about the basement. Could the three of them have known what was inside there and have been making a fool out
~Kira~"Come over here right now, Kira! Don't make this harder for yourself than it already is” Xavier growled, making me almost piss on myself.I backed away again, my eyes scanning the entire room to find a place that I could hide.Whoever said that falling in love was the most beautiful thing should be executed. They should not even be allowed to stand trial. Because of my naivety of looking for a happy ending and looking for a guy who would love me, I fell into a snare. I dug my own grief.I should have known that there were many red flags but instead, I blindly followed my heart and now I was going to pay the ultimate fine.“It kills me to kill you but I have no choice. In this world, you either eat or you get eaten. You are either the predator or the prey and this time you are the prey and I am the predator. I love you, more than I ever did Lucy.” he continued as he stalked towards me."With you, I felt so alive. I am obsessed with you but I am the Alpha and I want to remain the
~Kira~Fear, shock, guilt. Those are what I feel right now. I never knew that I would ever kill someone in my life. I knew that I was a wolf and we are trained to hunt and kill in the face of danger and I knew that it was self-defense but I never meant to drive the poisonous spike so deep into his heart.I was just hoping to graze his skin just to make him weak and I can make a run for it. I don't know what came over me. I can't even explain it.It was as if something else overtook my body and was controlling me, but I knew that excuse wouldn't stick. No one would believe that Xavier tried to kill me. They would all believe that I murdered their Alpha in cold blood.He was viewed as a saint in this Pack and that annoying seer would try to bring up an issue or try to make a false prophecy that I had wanted to kill Xavier a long time ago.Everyone seemed to always believe her words. This was all her fault. She didn't deserve to have a peaceful life for the misery that she caused me righ
~Kira~Never in a million years did I imagine being back to Half Moon Pack after leaving. Even though I was born here, I never felt at home at Half Moon Pack. It always felt strange to me. I was not welcomed here by most people. I was the outcast. I didn't have any friends besides Ella. No one wanted to mingle with me. I was the cursed wolf who was abandoned by her parents and just to add a cherry on top of the cake, I had to come out as an Omega who was a late Bloomer.Sometimes, I think back to when I was here at this pack and find out how stupid I was. I was really desperate to have a friend and when Ella approached me, I wasn't skeptical of her intentions towards me, all I knew was that I now had someone I could confide in.I didn't see all the red flags. Ella was really popular in the Pack. Everyone wanted to be her, everyone wanted to get close to her or have a little bit of friendship or just a slightest bit of an acquaintance with her but she turned them all down, saying th
~Jake~"You are suffocating me, Ella. I don't have to follow you anywhere. I don't care if the ladies are having a little party and all their husbands are going to be present.""I am the Alpha I have important duties to take care of, the last thing on my list is to play dress up with you and your posse. Go find a hobby and quit bothering me. You are making life unbearable for me every single day of my life and I am sick of it."I have never seen someone so unbearable before. Ella was like a leech that was intent on sucking up all the blood in my body. I really wanted to get rid of her as my Luna. She was no use to me anymore. She was becoming more like a withered flower than a blooming one and I don't know how much patience I have for her and her bratiness. "You are my husband and you are meant to accompany me anywhere. Do you know how embarrassing it would be that other women showed up at the party with their husbands accompanying them whereas I, who is the Luna , couldn't even ge
~Kira~I was expecting a lot of things, but what I was not expecting was a warm welcome from Alpha Jake and his Beta, Aiden. I had to keep my guard up. I have been a fool twice and I was not going to be a fool the third time. Nothing good ever comes out of Half Moon Pack. It may be my home but that does not mean I trust them fully. I had to be extra careful during my stay here for the meantime until I can figure out what to do and where to go with my son.I was not going to be comfortable here, especially not with Ella around.She was glaring at me as if I was the cause of her problems. The look of jealousy was so evident on her face. If looks could kill, then I would just drop dead.I just don't understand why Alpha Jake looks really happy to see me. He knew that there were no feelings left for him, so why the hell was he behaving as if we were past lovers?If he was thinking that I came back to Half Moon Pack to rekindle our failed relationship, then he must be so wrong. The only
~Ella~This was the worst humiliation I have ever suffered in my life. It was more than a slap to the face. I can't believe that Jake, my husband, the man who was meant to be by my side and love me, kicked me out because of that trash.He didn't even think twice or reprimand her for speaking to me in such a rude way. I swear I will never forget this humiliation. I will get him back for this. I just needed to know the reason why Kira was back, and what she was doing here. I can't lose Jake, especially not to someone like Kira. I had everything planned out. Jake was meant to be stripped of his position as the Alpha and I will be his sole companion. The only one who would comfort him. He will have no other option than to love me but now that bitch is back and my plan looks as if it has already started to fail.What if she ran away from Alpha Xavier? What if she realized that she was still in love with Jake? If she professes her love to him, I know that he would take her back in a he
~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
