~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
~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
~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~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~“I’m pregnant, Jake”My heart thumped in my chest while I waited for a reaction from Jake. I had hoped that as my true mate, he would be happy to hear about the news of my pregnancy. But with the expression on his face at that point, I wasn’t so sure that I had made the right decision.“What did you just say, Kira? That you’re pregnant? And whose bastard are you carrying?” Jake questioned, his eyes as cold as ice.I looked around the room in worry as Jake’s voice rang above the noise. He had invited me for the pack party and I had decided that it was the best time to release the news of my pregnancy to him.“Please Jake, bring down your voice. Almost the whole pack is watching us and they can hear you” I pleaded“I don’t care about whoever is watching. Answer the damn question”“What do you mean Jake? It’s not a bastard. You’re the father” I cried, hoping that Jake was pulling my legs with his statement.Jake scoffed and looked at me like I was some kind of evil threatening to
~Kira~My heart sank as I took in the scene before me. My best friend and my mate all tangled up in the sheets, oblivious of my presence. I could have never suspected that Ella would do this to me. She had been my backbone all these years; someone close to being a family to me.“Ella!” I cried, my eyes so filled with tears that I was unable to see through them.Ella jerked and climbed down from Jake when she heard my voice. Jake merely raised himself on his elbows and looked at me like a nuisance disturbing his siesta.“Ella! You! Why? Why Jake? You know that he is my mate and you know about the pregnancy. How could you betray me this way?”“That is where you’re wrong, Kira. I did not betray you. In fact, I would say the same for you. Jake here has been my man for over one year now. I don’t know the stupid game that he wanted to play with you which made him decide to ask you out. Actually, you are the one who slept with my man; with all your talk about decency”“You- you knew about th
~Kira~I felt it on my cheek. The tingling pain that made my eyes water involuntarily. Before I could understand what had happened, I felt it again. My mate who was supposed to be my lifetime happiness had slapped me so hard that I was seeing stars.“Jake…”“What do you think you are? The moon goddess? The fact that you had the privilege to experience the pleasures from an alpha gives you no right to spew nonsense before me, mutt”His right hand connected with my throat.”I could easily end your miserable life for the stupid, audacious attitude but that would be too generous of me”.I thrashed wildly with my hands, trying to release his death grip from my throat. From the corner of my eye, I saw my best friend, Ella, smiling at the display with a victorious glint in her eyes. “Jake… P-please…. You’re hurting me”He released his hand and pushed me to the floor. “The next time I hear such blasphemous thing from you again, I might be forced to kill you myself. Get out and don’t ever show
~Xavier~I watched her walk out of her room and towards me, looking so delicate and so fragile. Seeing her like that made me want to protect her and punish whoever had hurt her so bad that made her consider suicide.“Our mate is so beautiful. I want to claim her immediately” Xeros my wolf howled.I smiled. I knew what Xeros was trying to do. He doesn’t want this one to slip from his fingers again. “Kiss her”“What? No I won’t. That will only make her too uncomfortable”“Says who? She’s our mate. A kiss will only strengthen the bond between us. Just do it or I will take control and finish it on your behalf”I could feel Xeros becoming impatient. What was so important about this kiss anyway?“I can’t. She’ll think that I’m a pervert. She has been here for just two days and you already want me to jump on her? Nope, I won’t. I want to make each physical contact very memorable for her”I could have sworn that Xeros howled in laughter. “Don’t make her think that you’re impotent”“What?? I
