~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
~Kira~I flipped through the books, smiling as I read through the pages. I really needed this solitude. Everything in my life has been hectic, and I just needed a moment of quietness.Xavier has been trying to make amends with me ever since he indirectly threatened me at the garden, but I was having none of it. How could he say that to me? Whenever I thought about his words, shivers ran up my spine. I don't even want to imagine how Xavier would look like if he got extremely angry.A mere misunderstanding between us was enough to make me skeptical of him. Whenever I brought up the topic of his ex-mate, he always acted as if he wanted to strangle me. I was beginning to doubt his story. I don't even know what to think anymore. I always remembered the person in the garden who warned me to stay away from Xavier. Whenever I think about that, I can't help my paranoia.What if what they said was true? I have never been this curious in my life before, not even when I was dating Jake and he
~Xavier~"Where are you off to in a hurry?” I said to Kira as she breezed past me. “I have always told you to be careful or have you forgotten that you are pregnant? Any harm can come to your baby if you stress yourself too much." I accosted her and held her arm gently. She had that skeptical look on her face."I heard that something happened to Alianna,” she replied, “I have been looking for her all through the day, but I couldn't find out where she was. She told me she was going to do something but hasn't returned. Even when I was at the library she didn't come. I was getting worried and when I asked one of the servants, they told me that she was sick. They saw Jayden carrying her to her room. I'm just going to check on her." I didn't let go of her because I knew that once she saw Alianna, that little brat would tell her what I did.I had to get to her first to warn her not to open her loud mouth to Kira. I don't want to appear as a villain in front of my mate. I needed Kira to co
~Jayden~I grasped her tightly, feeling her cold palms. She was lying lifeless. Everyone was crying beside me, but I just stood there watching her lifeless body. I felt like a failure. She was my friend. In fact, she was more than a friend and I couldn't even do anything to protect her. I knew that Xavier was unhinged, but I kept on making excuses for him and now someone I cared about got hurt. I tried everything to save her but I was too late. Xavier had already choked her to death. I was holding onto a lifeless body by the time I arrived there. I thought that giving her CPR would revive her but I was so wrong. I wish I was in some kind of nightmare and someone would slap me awake. I wish this was all just a fantasy to me and I'm not in my reality. How could I live with myself knowing that I could have protected Alianna and yet did nothing about it? I should have warned her to stay away from Xavier if she had told me she was going to see him.I swear I will make him pay for this.
~Kira~I had such a blissful afternoon. Xavier was so gentle with me. He has never been this way before. Even when I told him to be a little aggressive, he refused. He was scared of hurting the baby. I can't believe that it has been such a long time since we got intimate, but he still knew how to make me happy and I have been in a very blissful mood ever since. There was nothing that could bring me down, not even Loren Hemsworth.Anyone who saw me right now would definitely notice the glow on my face and the bright smile. I haven't felt like this in a long while.I was glad that Xavier and I settled our differences. Even though he was busy, he still insisted on following me to see Alianna, who Jayden told me was wide awake and well.I was happy to hear that. Immediately I was done with Xavier, I wasted no time in going to see Alianna. Xavier thought that we shouldn't go empty-handed since she was recovering from an accident, and insisted on getting her a basket of fruit which he was
