~Kira~“Good day, Luna. The alpha wants to see you as soon as possible”I glanced at the servant who had just interrupted my pedicure session with Alianna. She stood there, fidgeting with her fingers and looking nervous.“Alpha Xavier wants to see me? Why is that?” I asked her.She shook her head and bowed slightly. “I have no idea, Luna. He just ordered me to call you”I waved her away and told Alianna to continue what she was doing. There was no way that I was going to meet Xavier again. All he was looking for was a way to humiliate me over and over again and I wasn’t here for that. His mistress should be enough for him to get whatever he wanted or to talk to. After all, she’s more than willing to be his slave.A few moments later, the same servant reappeared, this time I could see beaded sweat on her forehead.“The alpha sent me to you again, Luna. He says that I should consider myself relieved of my duties if I do not come back with you” the servant said, her body trembling.Well,
~Xavier~I rearranged myself on the bed as Kira threatened to reject me. Maybe bonding with her had been a bad idea; because why would she think that she could reject me whenever she felt like it without getting my consent?I hadn’t expected her to come in here with that sort of threat. The reason that I called her in was so that I could torment her by making her stay, and watch Lola and I pretend as if we were enjoying making out with each other. That was the plan. I wanted her to feel the sort of pain and betrayal that I felt after she dropped the bomb.She was supposed to cry, feel heartbroken, and even beg me to forgive her countless times before I could then consider forgiveness. Whatever she was doing right now wasn’t part of the script that I’d written in my head.But I noticed that after a few days of me trying to make her see reason for the bad in what she did, she turned and became a totally different person. Even when I’d done some things in her presence just to make her ma
~Kira~Almost like I had predicted, he was in our room in less than two minutes. I wondered what he wanted to talk to me about. I’d wanted to tell him to fudge himself after he said that he wanted to talk to me, but I held myself back. Seeing him talk to Lola in the manner that he did just a few minutes ago, made me almost have a change of mind and think that he cares about me, but all that might also be a show. So, trusting what I saw was out of the equation.When the door swung open slowly and Xavier emerged, I turned to face him, leaning by the window. His face was drawn and he looked tired. I mean, I should be the tired one. He has been the tormentor for a very long time, so why was he the one with the tired face?“I don’t have all the time in the world, Xavier. What did you want to talk about?”He took a step forward and then stopped as if he was rethinking what he said. What could possibly be so hard that he couldn’t even just spit it out? I’m tired of moving around in circles,
~Kira~The next few days after Xavier and I settled our differences, he started to suffocate me with apology gifts. Each morning brought a new sunrise, and with it, a new gift from Xavier. His apologies took the form of thoughtful gestures, each carefully selected to show me just how much he cared.It started with small tokens- a bouquet of flowers picked from the woods, a handwritten letter expressing his love and remorse, and a necklace adorned with a moonstone pendant. I received each gift with a mixture of surprise and gratitude, my heart slowly thawing as his gestures of remorse continued.But this morning, I woke up to something different on the bedside table. I hadn’t even noticed when he snuck out of bed and went out to get these packages. He would have gone deep into the town to be able to get these because they were not things that were readily available. My eye went to the wall clock, and I saw that it was not as early as I thought. It was already past eleven in the morning
~Kira~He stepped closer tentatively, nodding his head. “Yes. I wanted to show you that I’m committed to us, to this family that we’re about to build” he explained, his voice rough with emotion. “I know that I can never erase what I’ve done to you, but I want to be there for you, every step of the way”“You mean, you’ve finally accepted this baby? Even though you’re not the father? You’ve accepted to take care of me all through this period?” I asked, the start of tears starting to prick my eyes.Xavier smiled, his eyes telling more than his lips were about to tell.“I spent hours researching which brochures would be the most helpful, wanting to show you that I have not only accepted our future together, but I’ve also embraced it with open arms. Of course, I already love this tiny wolf as if he’s mine. We’ll love him unconditionally and give him the best family. One filled with love and happiness”Tears shimmered in my eyes as I set the brochures down and reached for him. Xavier crossed
~Xavier~“So, is there any other solution that we can render to this problem that has entered into the werewolf community?” I asked the high-ranking wolves who were present in the meeting.Jayden and I had gone to address some pressing issues that had been challenging the health of my pack members, and the other pack members of other alphas. There were only alphas and Betas in this meeting, and no one from the lower hierarchy.Personally, I wouldn’t have gone, because I didn’t want to leave Kira behind, but when she said that she needed to see the doctor and also do some routine exercise and checkup, I figured that I could also make good use of my time by attending to the concerns of these people.But so far, none of the alpha, or their beta substitutes, have been able to raise any attainable solution to what we were facing economically. All I had asked was how possible it is to infiltrate the human world without giving our secret away. Maybe get into government circles, and have a go
~Xavier~The drive to the pack house was silent, with only the sound of our breathing between us, and Jayden occasionally dropping updates whenever he got one, even though I wasn’t really paying attention to whatever he was saying.We got to the packhouse and I got down, heading straight to the doctor’s office to see Kira. I’d missed her, and all I wanted to do was pull her into my arms, and inhale her scent to make my brain calmer. “Let me see my mate immediately,” I said to the doctor as I got to her office. ‘She told me that she would come here for an examination”The doctor frowned, and shook her head. “But Kira hasn’t been here. I’ve been waiting for her since morning to come for a routine check, but she hasn’t shown up yet. I just assumed that she might be too weak to come out today. So I was planning to come over to the house to see her”What was she saying?I left Kira alone at ten in the morning, and it was roughly four hours later after I came back, and she hadn’t come for
~Kira~I slowly regained consciousness, my head throbbing and my body aching. I groaned as I tried to move my head, but all I got was a serious skull-cracking headache that threatened to snap my neck if I tried to move my head again. There was something covering my face, and when I realized that it was a plastic bag, I panicked and forgot the threats that my neck had dished out to me. I swung my head to and fro until the bag was flown away from my head and I was able to breathe properly.I opened my eyes and was met with full darkness.Where was I?I couldn’t make sense of this.I didn’t know how I had ended up in this place that didn’t even feel like the dungeon in Alpha Xavier’s pack. I tried to make a sound but all that came out was a croak. My throat was dry and hurting. I needed some water, and urgently.As I licked my already dry lips and tried to make sense of where I was and how I got here, it slowly started to click piece by piece. The last thing that I remembered was the fie
