Kiara’s POV
Just as I opened the door I got this weary feeling in the pit of my stomach. It was quiet in the cabin which made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. I started walking to kitchen and was hit with a metallic like smell. And this other very distinct smell , the smell of death. As I got closer to the kitchen I’m met with what looks like kool-aid on the floor but it was thicker than that and way darker. I turned the corner slowly and there I see her meemaw laying on the floor in a pool if her own blood. Someone had sliced her throat. I gasped and covered my mouth with my hand. I heard a muffled cry and looked up. Right in front of me was my best friend, tears streaming down her face and a hand over her mouth and a knife at her neck. The culprit was that same dark figure with glowing red eyes. I could see those teeth I dreamt so much about and in that second I knew who this was. It was my father. “ mmmm you look like your mother Kkkiiiaaaarrraa. I’ve waited so long for your supernatural side to wake up and call to me my child. Whatever your mother managed to do before she died she made sure to hide your smell. You’re 15 now so your powers should be coming out now, but just in case I’m here to give you a little push” he said slyly. In and instant he dropped the knife from Ketzia’s throat and it fell to the floor. He removed his hand from her mouth and whispered in her ear loud enough for me to hear, “ I want to hear you scream. I want to watch the life leave from your eyes. I want to feel that last breath you take”. The minute the last word left his mouth Ketzia’s eyes widened with fear and she looked at me and said, “ RRRRUUNN!”. But I couldn’t move I was frozen in place watching everything unfold. He instantly tilted Ketzias neck and sunk his teeth right in. Ketzia didn’t scream though she looked him in the eyes and when he was done he pulled his teeth out and pulled off half her neck because of his two hooked teeth. In that moment I heard a loud whailing scream but it was coming from me. My body felt lighter as it lifted up off the ground, tears were pouring down my eyes as they glowed with fury. Not only did my so call father murder my mother but now he viciously killed my best friend in front of me. All of a sudden I felt this power surge through me. My scream got even louder and all the windows broke off and a force threw my father through the wall. I opened my hands as I was clenching them so tightly blood was coming from the palms of my hands. Flames bursted out of my hands as I released them. In an instant I felt so drained and a wave of darkness took over me and everything went black.
Jeff’s POVI was in mid conversation trying to explain to my father, the Alpha about what happened at school with Kiara. He was very interested in how a supernatural went so long undetected living with the humans. That’s when I heard it, well we all heard it. It was the most piercing scream and it shocked the whole pack . It made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. I had a horrible gut feeling something bad was happening. That scream, that was my mate. I looked at my father and it was like he knew what I was thinking without saying it. He nodded his head and I ran and instantly shifted. My mate needed me and she needed me now. I just hoped I wasn’t too late. I saw the flames coming from the entrance of the forest. It must be the old witches house. As I came up the little cabin was engulfed in Flames and one wall looked like someone was thrown straight threw. My mates scent was getting weaker, I needed to find her and fast. Jackson wasted no time runni
Nanna’s POV I looked out the window to see if that was Kiara finally getting home. I see the headlights pass by. Not the girls. What could be keeping those 2? “Anything yet hunny?” “ no and she’s not picking up her cell phone and neither is Ketzia. I also got a call from school today, Kiara didn’t show up for class”. Suddenly headlights pull into the driveway. ‘Well it’s about time she shows up’ I thought to myself. We looked on waiting for Kiara to come out of the car running it with a thousand excuses , but that didn’t happen. Instead the car turned their bright highbeam headlights on which made us both squint. “ What the heck!” I yelled looking from my husband to the car in the driveway. My husband was unmoving and stared straight at the car. Still staring straight ahead he spoke, “ I don’t think that’s Kiara, go get the weapons now”. I moved quickly after the words immediately registered in my mind. As I ran to the safe in our room I prayed to the goddess Kiara was okay. It was de
Jeff’s POVI pulled up screeching to a halt right up into Kiara’s grandparent’s gravel driveway with 2 other blacked out SUVs close behind. It was completely pitch black , even the street lamps in front of their house were out “Strange, eyes peeled men, something is definitely off" “ You smell that?” Trevor my soon to be beta asked loudly. I took a big whiff as the wind slowly picked up “BLOOD". We picked up our pace towards the house. All the noise I could hear was my own heart beat. It was so loud it drowned out the sound of us 13 wolves walking quickly up the long gravel driveway. The smell of blood getting stronger with each step we take closer to the house. At this point I’m certain this will not be a good outcome. My poor mate has been put through so much tragedy all at the hands of her sadistic father. Alec my wolf snarls in my head ‘ I will rip his fucking throat out, he’s done too much to our mate` ‘don’t you mean we?’ I asked my wolf but he said nothing in return as we reach
KIARA’S POVJeff told me my grandparents were safe and I felt an instant relief release from my heart. I have no idea how I would handle losing them all because of me. He told me they were staying in a safe house out of state, and I couldn’t risk visiting them in case my father tried to follow me there. I wish I could call them but they are off grid so it’s impossible at the moment. I needed to tell Nana about Ketzia and meemaw. She will be crushed to hear about their deaths. My eyes watered as I thought back to that moment. The fear in Ketzias eyes, and she still worried about my safety. The blood, there was so much blood. How could my father be so evil? I was so enthralled in thought I didn’t realize Jeff was talking about my mother’s coven. He wanted to go find what was left of her coven to see if someone could help me control my powers. “ I need to come with you” I insisted. There was no way I was going to stay here and destroy rooms in my sleep and Jeff get to go out searching fo
Jeff’s POV As soon as we boarded the jet I busied myself with some paper work. I didn’t even know what to say to Kiara at this point. Did she really not feel anything at all? Her supernatural side came out even more, so I’m sure she must feel something. ‘ggggrrrrrr why don’t we just claim our mate and be done with all this , what’s with all the damn games?’ Alec growled. ‘woaaah calm down Alec even if we told her that we are mates. I will not allow you to claim her until she is ready.’ I responded to him. I really don’t like how aggressive he is getting lately. Ever since I found her in the house with flames all around her. I could feel his panic when we saw her laying there, somehow the flames not even touching her. But yet still engulfing the rest of the cabin and dead bodies. She looked so fragile but, when I picked her up, I could feel this power seeping out of her. I swear if I didn’t know any better I would think she was an Alpha wolf with the aura she was putting off that da
Kiara’s POVAfter coming to the revelation of us being mates. I felt waves of emotions all over my body, I could also feel Anya trying to claw her way to the surface as if her life depended on it. What did she need so badly from Jeff that was detrimental to her survival? Jeff was talking to me about something but I couldn’t hear what he was saying. His voice was drowned out by a loud thumping noise. I zeroed in on where the sound was coming from and I found myself fixated on the right side of his neck where I could see slight movement synchronized with the thumping. My mouth began to salivate, and I felt the weirdest thing ever. My freaking teeth grew. I ran my tounge along my teeth and felt two pointed incisors that made me jolt up from my seat and make my way straight to the back of the jet, right into the bathroom. I shut the door and locked it. I needed to see for myself. I opened my mouth to get a good view and looked in the mirror. Two large pointy fangs had now replaced
Trevor’s POVI was woken up to something hitting me in the nose. I searched to find the culprit looking to the left then to my right. There is where I saw the crumpled up piece of paper sitting in the middle of the aisle. I looked up only to see Kiara flying straight towards Jeff, landing right on his lap throttling him. Okay, this is definitely not something that I’m supposed to be watching. Before I could look away, I saw a flash of fangs and my wolf instantly perked up as I blurted “HOLY SHIT! SHE’S GOT FANGS!!” . Damn my mouth! I just didn’t expect to see that. I thought he was joking when he said his mate was a half vampire. I found it too hard to believe that a Vampire could reproduce. It’s unheard of. There definitely has to be black magic at play here. I tried to sit quietly and watch the drama enfold. I grabbed my potato chips, opened the bag and snacked. The tension on the plane could be cut with a knife. Kiara had stormed off to the bathroom eventually while Jeff followed.
Kiara’s POV As I sat in the front seat of the blacked out SUV. I thought of everything that had just happened on the jet, while i looked out the window. Jeff and Trevor were busy arguing about which road would have been faster to take. I couldn’t pay attention as my head was still reeling from the blood I had just drank. Is this what it feels like to drink fresh blood instead of whatever the heck that was that Nanna was giving me? The smoothies always made me gave me a rush of happiness but this, this was something different. I felt power surging through my body the minute the sweetness of my mates blood touched my lips. At first, I was curious when he said he could help. When I saw he was going to cut his hand, for a moment I had a wave of disgust come over me. It quickly went away when the sweet aroma of his blood hit my nose. I felt Anya fight me for control at that point, luckily I was able to get enough control to drink Jeff’s blood. Once I did that, I was easily able to keep con
“Are you sure you know what you’re doing Kiara?” Viviana asked hesitantly while biting her lip while watching Kiara fumble with the ingredients. The beautiful wolf sat there patiently on the other side of the cage, with her head cocked to the side watching Kiara curiously. Kiara paused and looked back at Viviana with a small smile, “of course, I got this” she reassured Viviana and turned back towards her ingredients once again. The she wolf whined softly while staring intensely at Kiara. “ Everything will be okay, I’m here to help you Luna Iris” Kiara said while still putting the potion together. The Luna seemed to calm with her words as she laid down with a small huff.KIARA POV ‘Don’t worry so much. It will work, I know it will.’ Anya reassured me. Of course she could feel my hesitations and fear. There is nothing I could keep from her. I let out a heavy sigh and continued to carefully mix the ingredients. ‘Okay—I got this’ “ I’m ready. I need you to go outside and make sire no
JEFF POVThe look of shock quickly turned to disgust on Vera’s face. Lucian on the other hand, had a look of curiosity in his eyes and a small grin plastered on his face. “You do understand she is still a minor and belongs with us, her parents” he looked at me with raised eyebrows waiting for a response. I grinned back at him and nodded my head. “Ah, yes of course I understand, but nonetheless she came here to MY PACK to seek sanctuary. Which I generously accepted and since have integrated her to my pack as one of my own.” The smugness completely disappeared from Lucians face and was replaced with a scowl as he stood up and slammed his fist on the desk. The door to my office immediately flew open and in came my Beta and my Gamma with their chests puffed out. I held my hand up to stop them and they froze in their tracks. I turned back to Lucian and his wife. “Now let’s not do anything irrational” “IRRATIONAL?! You keep our daughter from us and you expect us to be fucking rational” Luc
KIARA POVCharles returned quickly with a notebook in hand and a pen. He handed it over to Viviana and she gave him a big smile and rose up on the tips of her toes and gave him a kiss on the cheek. His cheeks turned red as Viviana turned her attention to the notebook and quickly opened it and began to scribble in it. She tore off the paper and then tore it in half and handed one to Emily and she kept the other half. “I will go with Charles to find these and you” Viviana looked at me “and Emily can go find the other half” I winced inside at the thought of having to be alone with Emily. “Perfect!” I say back to Viviana a little too enthusiastically which caused her to look at me with a questioning look while cocking her head to the side. I offer an awkward smile to her, then to Emily who in turn looks confused herself. “well, its settled then” Viviana said while still giving me a questioning look, as if she was waiting for me to contest “ we will meet back here in forty-five minutes.”
JEFF POV I bolted after Anya and shifted mid air and released control to Alec. I knew Kiara was still mad at me, but Anya was in control, and in one hell of a playful mood. I had to rely on sound to find her, seems how she figured out how to mask her scent from me. I stopped and listened closely. My ears perked up when I heard leaves rustling in front of me. Alec took off towards it without hesitation. He ran but not fast , more like pranced, while his tongue hung out the side of his mouth. He loved this game Anya was playing with us. Shit he was built for this. Alec slowed down to see if he could spot any tracks. Surprisingly, he found nothing and with a huff he hesitantly kept going straight. “Aaallllppphhaa, Come get mee” Anya said in the most alluring way possible. Alec whipped around to face where her voice came from and ran towards it without thinking. “gotcha!” Anya whispered in my ear as she landed on my back with both arms around my neck and hands full of my light brown fur.
Viviana POV After I gave the Alpha a piece of my mind, I made my way downstairs to see if I could find where Kiara had run off to. We still had that ritual to prepare for, if she even wanted to do it. As I made my way down the stairs I could hear voices coming from the bottom floor. I only recognized one voice and that was Michelle. Her annoying shrill, condescending voice talking to other people I hadn’t met yet. I slowed down as I came to the bottom and there she was talking to three other girls just twirling her blonde hair. One of the girls looked just like the Alpha but a female version. She was so pretty and her blue eyes lit up when she saw me with a big smile. She started walking towards me which made Michelle turn to look at her friend with a shocked face as she came up to greet me. “HI, I’m Emily" she said holding out her hand. I hesitantly took her hand and shook it, “I’m Viviana” I said as I returned her friendly smile. “Did you happen to see a girl with one red eye run
Kiara POVI ran out the pack house and was met by the bright sun beaming down on me. I shot my hand out to shade my eyes as they stung when being met with direct sunlight. One of the “perks” of being half vampire, sensitivity to sunlight. I stopped and looked both ways before I jumped down the steps and hooked a right and ran behind the pack house. I ran through a small training ground and headed straight for the trees, hoping to disappear. As I ran through the thick trees my eyes started to fill with tears and my vision became blurry. ‘Kiara we need to stop’ Anya insisted to me. ‘NO, I need to get away from here, he kept their murder a secret Anya! For what?! So I could get better with my magic and he could use us for it? So I can save his pack but fuck my loved ones right?’ I said to her as I finally had stopped running and was now kneeling in the leaves and tears streaming down my cheeks. That’s when I knew it was time. Time for Anya to take over, I felt weak and broken. Not her t
Jeff POV I barely slept a wink last night. Knowing my mate was in the room next to me was driving my wolf wild. A knock on the door startled me from my thoughts. Before I could answer, the door was thrown open and there stood my sister Emily. “You have a lot of nerve” she said as she made her way over to me with a red face. Great now what? “Good morning sister. What have I done now?” I asked sarcastically, not really caring about the answer. She always has an issue with my choices as Alpha. “ how dare you take Trevor away from me” she said in a huff and tears forming in her eyes. I rolled my eyes and got out of the bed and turned to look at my sister. She looked like she spent the whole night awake and had dark circles around her eyes. “Emily, it was just for one night” I began but before I could continue she narrowed her eyes at me “ even one night is too many, if you’d been able to complete the mating process you’d know that” she spat at me. “I’m sorry am I interrupting something
KIARA’S POV “uuhh what was that about?” Charles asked looking at me and then at Jeff curiously. Jeff still holding my hand just shrugged his shoulders, “my mate just made it clear to the pack that she is the new Luna” he said as we sat down on the small couch up against the wall with a grin on his face. Shit, he’s right. In my rage of jealousy I didn’t even think about me speaking up meant I was staking my claim to not only Jeff but to the Luna position. Jeff squeezed my leg and gave me a reassuring smile and I instantly felt a wave of relief wash over me.VIVIANA'S POVI sat staring at Gamma Charles while Kiara and Jeff talked. Charles was looking at me with a sly smirk on his face. He was handsome, I’d give him that but what was going on in that head of his. I wanted just a little peak inside his thoughts. As I sat there I continued to get more and more frustrated as my attempts to snoop were met by what seemed like a brick wall. Over and over I tried to break through his wall bu
CHARLES POV My mind raced after all the information Alpha Jeff gave me on my mate. She was a fifteen year old witch that had run away from her coven. That could bring us some trouble later but I didn’t care. She was made for me and I for her. I’d fight the whole world just to be by her side. I waited anxiously in the Alphas office for him to bring her in. I thought back to those bright blue eyes that stared at me intently. Her soft lushes peach toned lips that I wanted to feel up against my own. I wanted to envelop myself in her scent and intertwine my hands in her beautiful brown hair and caress her caramel skin. I held my breath as I heard someone making their way down the hall to the office. JEFF POVThis is the last thing I needed, the Gamma mated to a witch runaway. Nothing against witches, my mate is half, it’s the runaway part that bothers me. What if her parents show up here looking for her and try to force her away. I’m sure they wouldn’t be happy with their pure witch d
