~Jayden~This has got to be one of the most awkward lunches that I've ever had in my life. The tension was so thick that it could be sliced with a knife. What was I even thinking in the first place? When Xavier came back earlier and saw Loren, he wasn't happy. If looks could kill, I would be dead right now. I knew he was only controlling himself because of Kira. He didn't want to appear as a monster before her.The way he kept on slicing up his steak sent shivers down my spine.Knowing when Xavier was angry was not that hard. I thought he would frown at the idea that Alianna joined us for lunch, but he didn't make a comment; instead, he looked pleased to see her.I wish I could say the same for Alianna. She had been glaring at me ever since we all sat down for lunch, and honestly, it was making me uncomfortable.I tried to pay attention to the conversation between Loren and Xavier, but my attention always seemed to be drawn back to Loren.Despite wearing not-so-sophisticated clothe
~Xavier~"What the hell were you thinking? Have you gone out of your mind, Jayden? Do you know how bad this makes me look? Do you have the slightest idea what you just did? This was a secret that I’ve been trying to keep, and you just blew everything. Why couldn't you just leave everything the way they were? Why are you always trying to fix things? You are not a scientist or a magician. Now look what your stupidity has caused!" I fumed in anger, pacing up and down.Jayden stood with his hands behind him, an apologetic look on his face. "I'm sorry. I didn't think of the consequences. I just wanted to help you out. I knew that the prophecy was true, and the more Kira remains here, one of you is bound to get hurt. I was just looking for a way for her to leave on her own. I never meant to cause such a ruckus. When I heard that Loren was back, I wanted to invite her just for old times’ sake. I never knew that she would be such a...""Bitch?” I interrupted, “Yeah now you know. Do you think
~Aiden~I kicked the door open without knocking. I wanted to make an entrance and gain everyone's attention, and that is exactly what I did.All heads turned towards me. I grinned mischievously making my way towards them. Each of them watched me with skeptical looks. I sat down on the chair reserved for their leader. He was running a little bit late so I know he wouldn't mind. Even if he were to arrive right now, he should take a seat at the far corner of the table. I'm sure that is where he belonged.I placed my bow and arrow on the table. Turning to Jason's father, I waved at him enthusiastically. He averted his sight, clearing his throat. I smirked at his discomfort. The only reason why I was with these backstabbing bastards was to bring chaos upon their heads. If they wanted to play a dirty game, then I could also do the same.Jake won't be able to do that, so I am helping him out. I'm sure he would thank me later.None of them were willing to speak up and ask me what I was doi
~Jake~"Are you out of your fucking mind? What the hell is wrong with you? Were you even thinking at all or were you going crazy when you decided to act on an impulse? Was the hit on your head so hard that it moved the part of your brain?" When I was told that Aiden shot an arrow at an Elder of the council, I didn't know if I should laugh or scold him. It was really funny that the cool, calm, and collected Aiden would do something like that. It was so out of character.The council of Elders was demanding that I get rid of Aiden as the Beta of the Halfmoon Pack. They kept on blabbing about how he was unfit for the position. The Elders of the council viewed themselves as untouchable. They think that every decision they made would be carried out, forgetting that I was the Alpha. They have no respect for me, so why should I listen to their problems or what they have to say?If I wasn't the Alpha, I would have given Aiden a big hug. He did something that I should have done years ago. Th
~Kira~"Till when are you going to keep ignoring me, Kira? Aren't you tired of this cat and mouse game?”I ignored Xavier's rants and walked into the garden, hoping that he wouldn't follow me there.“I don't know what else you want me to do. I have been apologizing for some days now, but you have still been ignoring me. I am your mate and your husband, stop treating me as if I am some stranger or some servant who is trying to please you. Talk to me so that we can resolve whatever issues we are having." He followed me all the way to the garden, destroying my plans of having some peace. I had to tell Alianna to give us some good distance. Xavier wanted her to leave us entirely but I refused. She was my friend, and I was not in the mood to see Xavier. He was suffocating me. "An apology.” I spat. “You call that an apology Xavier? Now you know that I am your wife and mate. Did you think of that when you kept secrets from me? You always talk about communication while you are the one who i
~Alianna~His cold eyes bore into me. They were just empty, void of any emotion. I was trying so hard not to shake in fear. I felt as if I was staring into the eyes of the devil. I’ve had so many encounters with different people, but none of them scared me how he did. There was always something about him that I didn't like. Maybe it was the way he always acted nice but behind that nice facade, he was a beast and a monster.Some people may not see him like I do. I have known him for so long in my life. I looked up to him in some things but not lately anymore. I have been finding him repulsive sometimes. I wonder how the moon goddess pairs up mates. Did she scrutinize everyone, or did she just draw out cards with names on it and just matched them up? I have always wondered what Kira saw in Alpha Xavier. Was it his looks, his strength, or his wealth? Or was it just because he paid attention to her when Alpha Jake rejected her and her baby? I just don't understand how Kira couldn't see
~Jayden~"What the hell do you think you are doing Xavier?! Let her go. Are you trying to kill her or what?" I called out to Xavier.But he didn't budge. Instead, there was a crazy look in his eyes."Stay out of this Jayden. She’s trying to take Kira away from me, and I won't let that happen. Kira belongs to me, not to someone else." I rushed to him, pushing him off Alianna who was already on the brink of passing out. Her eyes were droopy as if she was heavily sedated."Hey! Alianna! Wake up! Please say something."I tapped her cheeks. Her lips were pale. I was getting anxious. What if she was dead? I can't live with myself if something was to happen to her."She is just pretending, Jayden. I didn't even choke her that hard. I wasn't planning on killing her. I just wanted to scare her a little bit. She was keeping secrets from me. They are keeping secrets from me. Let her go! She has to tell me what she knows about Kira." He pushed me off, shaking Alianna aggressively. “You'd better
~Jake~The murmuring was getting too loud for me. It was as if bees were buzzing in my ears and no matter how hard I tried to ignore it, I couldn't. They were relentless.I didn't know how to shut them up. I wish I had married a good Luna then she would know a way to calm me down. Ella was very useless. She had been spending time planning the party that I was hosting even though there wasn't much of anything to do. As long as it kept her busy though and far away from me, then she was free to do anything she wanted. I have also noticed that she always sneaks out, and whenever she comes back, she has another scent clinging all over her. I wouldn't be too surprised if she was cheating on me. Not that I cared, but if she was doing that, she should avoid getting caught. The last thing I needed was someone asking me useless questions about my annoying Luna because there was no way I was going to vouch for her. I already have a lot on my plate. The Elders of the council were asking me to
