Ketzia POV
I was shocked at what was happening to my best friend, what the crap was happening anyways?? One minute Jeff’s about to ask the clueless Kiara out to the dance the next thing she hyperventilating with fists clenched fixated on something behind Jeff. I only see teens rushing to get to class. Kiara’s breathing got worse and her hair started to stand up like she was covered in static electricity. I yelled her name but she was too fixated on something it’s like she didn’t hear me at all. “KIARA, KIARA WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING?” I screamed at no one in particular. Jeff answered in a loud panicked voice “ I don’t know but whhhaattt---" Jeff became silent and his jaw dropped to the ground That’s when I saw it Kiara had one bright emerald green eye and one glowing red eye. They stayed like that what seemed like hours but was only seconds. Suddenly Kiara’s hair calmed and her eyes changed back to that normal green. It’s like she woke up dazed and looked at everyone with a confused look. “ what is everyone staring at, what did I miss?” Kiara asked confused staring at Ketzia. I grabbed her arm as quick as I could and ran straight out the school to my car and told her to get in. Luckily she got in no questions asked. ‘What the heck is Kiara?’ I thought to myself. I know where we can get answers, my meemaw. She always talked about the supernatural world and how we were descendents of witches and what not. I always thought it was stories, fiction, crap my grandmother made up because she was bored and alone. Maybe there was some truth to those stories. “Where are we going Z? You know how Nanna gets if I miss classes.” I threw a look at Kiara . This girl could not be serious, she had one glowing red eye and glowing green eye and some weird breathing episode in the middle of the school and she’s worried about class? “ What Z? You’re freaking me out talk to me please!” “ You really don’t realize what just happened in front of the whole school do you?” “ What? I was just having a bit of a panic attack?” Kiara lied to herself. She wasn’t a good liar and with us being friends for so long I could definitely tell something was going on she didn’t want to tell me. “ You had a green glowing eye and one glowing red eye Kiara. Even your hair started to stand on end, and I swear I saw—” I stopped thinking if I should tell her I swear I saw what looked to be fangs gleaming through her lips. “WHAT Z? WHAT DID YOU SEEEE??” Kiara screamed at me and was starting to panic. “ I swear I saw fangs" I blurted out finally. Kiara gasped and covered her mouth. She didn’t ask anything else for the rest of the drive, thankfully because I for once had zero answers for her. Hopefully meemaw would know what to do because she was our only hope.
Jeff’s POV
I stood there and watched both Ketzia and Kiara run away and head straight to the student parking lot and shortly after I heard the sounds of squeeling breaks leaving the school. I look around and see everyone still standing shocked as can be but I knew what this meant. I never once thought Kiara would be apart of my world. I thought for sure she was just another human girl I found attractive. I knew I smelled something different on her today. That meant whatever she is, is definitely making an appearance today. “ Why is everyone standing around?” I knew that smell before she even spoke. As a werewolf and soon to be Alpha of the River Run pack, my senses were way more heightened then humans. I looked up and scoffed at the all too familiar face of my ex Kelsey. “What’s with you?” Kelsey asked with an attitude. “ Not today Kelsey I’m not in the mood for your crap today.” “ Well whatever, I was going to let you take me to the dance but now I don’t think you’ll be so lucky" “Oh noooo what ever will I do??” I responded with my most sarcastic tone and turned to walk away. Something about Kiara pulled me to her. Not only her beauty but her aura that she put off was that of an Alpha but she never smelled like one of us. Every time my wolf Jackson is around her he’s so calm. I thought for sure she was my mate. One of the reasons I broke up with Kelsey was because my wolf only wanted Kiara, but she never returned the feelings. So I for sure thought she just didn’t feel the mate pull like me and was human and I’d just have to work a bit harder to get her to like me. Not once did I think her supernatural side was dormant this whole time. I need to talk to my father now. I rushed passed the cars in the student parking lot. I hopped in my ruby red mustang and headed back to River Run. River run was the second largest pack in the world and was hidden deep in the forest. We even had our owns schools but I refused to go to an all werewolf school. I needed to experience everything from the outside world if I wanted to be a good Alpha. It took me about an hour to get to the pack house. I parked as fast as I could and ran inside to find my father Alpha Sirus.
Kiara’s POVIt took us about 30 minutes to get to meemaws, as she lives just on the edge of the town that meets with the forest. We used to come here a lot as kids playing hide and seek in the forest. I looked at the old tree swing we used to spend hours taking turns on. Meemaws house was a tiny 2 bedroom 2 baths little cabin. Outside she had a beautiful herb garden right off to the right of her creaky old porch. The cabin was painted white but could definitely use a fresh coat as the paint was chipping. As we both get out the car we both were greeted by the all too familiar voice of meemaw. “ Hey girl’s, you’re right on time. Come on in and have some tea with me. We have tons to talk about Kiara" she said looking straight at me. “ Meemaw how did you know we were coming?” Ketzia asked curiously. “ Hush child, I’ve told you before and I’ll tell you one more time. We come from a long line a witches. Whether you like to belie
Kiara’s POVJust 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 Kkkiii
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
