~Kira~"Have you decided on what your baby's name would be?”I ran my hands through the flowers as Jayden and I walked through the garden, inhaling their flowery scent which did a good job with calming me. I don't know yet.” I replied . “Xavier and I haven't discussed that. He's been acting so weird lately, and ignoring me. Even though he is not being violent or trying to be abusive, whenever I try to have a conversation with him, he always claims to be busy.”Jayden shrugged. “Busy? But we've barely had anything to do in the Pack for some time now. Unless he has some external things that he's doing”Almost immediately the words left his mouth, he realized that he might have insinuated something, and the look on his face showed instant regret. I stopped walking to face him. “Jay, do you think that he is slowly falling out of love with me?" Jayden had an unreadable expression on his face as he tried to avoid eye contact with me. "Maybe he is really busy. Being the Alpha of the Pack
~Kira~"Let go of me Xavier, you're hurting me.”What the hell is wrong with you?" I tried to pull my hands away from his tight grip but he held on tighter, half dragging me through the hallway.“Xavier…please, people are watching” I pleaded again as I half-ran to meet up with his stride.He ignored me, and kept on walking until he got to the door of our room. Pushing me into the bedroom, he shut the door loudly. "I am not stupid Kira.” He said as he dropped my arm roughly. “I know what I saw. You are getting too cozy with my Beta or do you think that I’m blind? I have been noticing suspicious movement between the both of you. Don't try to deny it." He accused, his ears turning a shade of red.I gaped at the stranger before me. This wasn't the Xavier who professed love to me. This stranger in front of me isn't the one who had accepted to be a father to my baby.“What in the whole heavens is wrong with you, Xavier?” I asked, rubbing my already bruised arm."When I am not around, I kno
~Ella~I wished to be anywhere else but here. This was a nightmare and also not how I planned to spend my day, but I had to be the good Luna who always honors people's invitations no matter how annoying they can be, no matter how much of a pest they can be. Anyway, I just don't have to stay for many hours, I will just stop by for a bit and then leave. This damn get together was an excuse for everyone to flash their stylish dresses and their wealth. It was a get together, not a ball party for goodness sake!I don't know why they were all wearing formal gowns as if they were trying to impress someone. I know that most of these women don't like me. The fact that I was the Luna and a young one at that. Most of them wanted Jake, but he wasn't giving them any attention. The only reason why I was here was because I had to make Jake look good.He has been feeling so stressed lately. Even though Jake was hurting me, I wanted to be a good wife to him. I didn't want him to regret his decisio
~Kira~"You have to get far away from here. You aren't safe here.”I gasped as I heard the voice. I'd thought that I was alone here in the woods. “He’s lying to you. He isn't who he says. You shouldn't trust him so blindly. Don't be madly in love and be so naive and stupid that you can't see the truth before you." I looked around to find out who was saying that.I walked towards the direction the voice came from."Who are you and what are you talking about? Reveal yourself and stop hiding like a coward. Tell me what you mean and stop beating around the bush. I came here for some peaceful time, not to be creeped out." It was as if the person kept on changing positions but I was certain that it was a woman. If only I could find out where she was hiding."Knowing who I am is not important, I am just giving you a fair warning before it becomes too late and you'll be the next sacrificial person. He is treating you like a princess right now because he needs something from you. Don't be s
~Ella~I have never felt so humiliated and embarrassed in my entire life, not even when Jake had intentionally ignored me in public gatherings and pretended that we weren't a couple.I have gotten used to the fact that he would never love me the way he loves Kira no matter how much he tried to deny that he didn't want her back because of love, but for the child that she was carrying.To most outsiders, we look like the perfect couple. He was good looking, and I was too. My family wasn't poor neither was Jake's family, but they don't know what goes on behind closed doors. How my husband treats me like trash and prefers another woman over me. I wouldn't be surprised one day if Jake decides to hit me. Whenever he was near me, it felt as if he was being pricked all over his body with sharp needles. He felt irritated whenever I was near him. He even accused me of not being pregnant and even if I was pregnant, that I was the cause of all my miscarriages. As if that was what I wanted to he
~Xavier~The atmosphere right now matched my mood. The weather was so gloomy, as if there was going to be a heavy downpour soonest.On a normal day, I would have loved the weather. But today was not a normal day, and I wasn't happy. There was nothing that could make me happy, not even running in my wolf form. I was feeling depressed and so was my wolf. He wasn't happy that I had been ignoring our mate but there was nothing I could do except to stay far away from Kira. I didn't want to send her away. I couldn't bring myself to do that. That will be wickedness on my part and I am sure the Moon goddess wouldn't look at me very well.I was having sleepless nights, and I missed Kira so much. She was the only one who kept me sane. I can't lose her. I can't even begin to imagine life without Kira. I don't think I would want to live in that kind of world anymore.I wasn't scared of her hurting me. I was scared of the opposite of that. I can't kill Kira. I can't bring any harm upon her. I wou
~Ella~If Jake was to read my thoughts right now, or even come near me, he would notice how sweaty I was, and how fast my heart was pounding.I have never felt so scared in my life. I don't even want to think what would happen to me if Jake were to find out that I was the one responsible for what happened to his friend and Beta. I should have locked the door. I should have hit him harder so he couldn't have survived it. How could I be so stupid? Seeing him right now looking all recovered and walking around the house as if he owned the place made me angry and paranoid. Why didn't the idiot just die? Is his wolf that strong? Maybe I should have added some wolfsbane injections to him.I wondered if he remembered who attacked him or if he was pretending not to know. Did I knock memory loss into his head or was he just toying with me?I still remember what he said at the hospital about the perpetrator making the next move. I wouldn't be so stupid to attack Aiden anytime soon. I know that
~Kira~I watched from far away as Xavier restlessly paced around, muttering to himself. I wanted to know what was happening to him. I couldn’t just sit here and watch him slowly lose his sanity. I knew that whatever was bothering him wasn't a problem in the Pack, or he would have gone to the Elders of the council or even Jayden. Despite having a misunderstanding with him, he wouldn't have gone to the Oracle.When I saw him walk out of her house the other day, I was shocked. The Wolves at Crescent Pack only visited the Oracle if they wanted answers to their problem. What could be bothering Xavier so much that he would want to consult the Oracle?I was tired of walking on eggshells around him. I didn't want to make him angry in any way. I wasn't scared of him hurting me because I knew he wouldn't do that. He no longer had hallucinations, but seeing him now talking to himself, I was beginning to doubt if he was really okay.He didn't look crazy, he just looked weighed down with so many
