2024-10-29 19:42:56Nathan blinked, his chest releasing the tension it suffocated him with but his heart was relentless it harmmered against it ribcage like it would burst out of his skin anyone. And he instantly knew who he held close to his heart.
He held her so tightly, wanting to merge both their bodies into one. He can't explain the feeling as it overwhelmed throughly.
When she struggled slightly, he feared she wasn't breathing well and let her go but she withdrew father than he expected. A flustered expression drawn on her face.
She thanked him for saving her life, without her eyes meeting his. He wondered if her heart raced in the manner his did. Did she feel the same for him? She looked meek, and shy as she muttered those words to him, they shared no enthusiasm in seeing him after so many months.
Nathaniel's frowned as Kiara withdrew from him, her back turned and started a walk away from where he stood.
Not this time, he promised himself. He reached to her hand and held on to her wrist, holding her back. His feet was firm, and he doubled her tiny self she couldn't pull her hand off his grasp.
And she passed him a stern look, filled with the desire to incinerate him.
“Don't you recognize me?“ Nathaniel said gently, drawing her back to his arms.
Her big hazel orbs encased in that slanted catty eyes of hers, gazed at him rather strangely. She was so beautiful just like he last remembered but he noticed healing bruises on her skin, her silky hair falling down her shoulder in a tame manner.
“Kiara…” He called her name. And she let out a breath she never intended her to hold against her chest.
He was…. Her first mate, a voice stuttered mindlessly within her.
Her past came faster than she expected.
Kiara blinked recognizing the frigid blue orbs that ran over her, but they held too much warmth this time. Nothing like the frosted blue she saw in the final days of their failed love story but it was warm almost green with life.
“Don't you recognize me?“ His question rang hard in her mind. Her body want to react in a shudder but she composed herself strongly, blinking out any familiarity her eyes once held.
He drew her closer, his eyes roamed her face like she was unreal or never existed.
“You have been gone for so long.“ He said, his voice filled with emotions that almost broke the indifference she wanted to feel for him.
It was the bond, it forced them together when all she wanted to do was to run from his presence, away forever.
His thumb rubbed carefully on her face, drawing little circles on her cheeks. She felt the odd stares people gave them. Mother's blocking the face of their kids as they passed. The crowd dissipated giving them space as they guessed they were maybe lovers and needed privacy.
He noticed her silence and his brows furrowed slightly into uncertainty. “You haven't said anything, Kiara.“
She shifted away from his hold, “I think you have mistaken me for another person.“
Nathaniel face distorted into one of worry, as he questioned his thoughts, visibly conflicted.
“What do you mean? Are you not Kiara? There's no way I am mistaken. This is your scent, I tracked you down here and you are my mate.“ He stroked her hair gently. “Caine told me you have suffered severe shock and trauma. I understand you have been through many traumatic events, but it's fine. I am here now.“
Kiara blinked, her chest constricted as he was not buying into her act. For someone she was madly in love with, despite cheating her it was almost unbelievable she feels nothing again for him and sadly he wants redemption.
The Moon goddess did say she has a choice but with him being as relentless as this she doubted she had one except to escape.
“You are mistaken. Truly, I don't know you.“ Selena said, trying to remove his strong hold off her hand.
“What's your name?“ He asked, his mind racing. He was certain this was her but something was wrong somewhere. He would be a fool if he lets her go as she wants.
“Selena.“
“You are Kiara, mated to the Alpha of the Luminous Stone pack. It's fine, you would be taken to the doctor once we get back home.“
Lena forced her hand forcefully out of his hold.
“I won't be coming anywhere with you.“ She shook her head at him.
“You have no choice but to.“ Nathaniel stated with a tone of finality and dragged her to come with.
“Are you doing this out of pretence? Are you still bitter about our past?“He asked, getting almost all the boxes ticked out except one.
She wasn't in love with him.

The still silence of the forest was filled with the peaceful music of crickets and birds chirping but it was soon broken by a peal of mirthful laughter escaping Kiara's lips. Her dark lush hair bounced hard on her back as she ran as fast as her leg could take, trying to push it to try harder. It wasn't fair Nate's wolf was giving her such a long distance, he promised to slow down a bit before he transformed during their walk through the forest. She could hardly see the silky sheen of his wolf fur or the familiar way they ruffled as he ran gracefully but lethal as well. She won't lie she was starting to get exhausted, her limbs starting to ache but she needed to at least show up immediately after he reached the creek or she gets familiar with his taunts. How the run was so easy.Her wolf loved the forest, the calm it exuded created this aura of peace she doesn't mind basking herself in all day long.

Hesitant, she managed, "Do you also think I am not capable of being your Luna?""Why would I think that?""Stop trying to make me feel better." She jerked out of his hold, walking to the bed of the creek. A tear slid from her eyes but she quickly wiped it off.His fingers wrapped around her arm, and slowly he turned her around to face him. "You are my mate, Kiara. I chose you because I love you. I want you by my side. The same way you would be my Luna when I get crowned to be the new Alpha."Kiara stared intently at him, she loved the genuity lingering in his eyes, she felt it as well but the reality was the Pack was ready to accept him as their Alpha, their leader not her as their Luna. "I am stunted," she choked out, a familiar pain residing in her chest."I am not capable of being your Luna. I can't even shift because I can die doing so. I am weak. Useless–"He placed his palm over his lips stopping her from talking down on herself, "You are not weak, you are far from weak and y

Red pointy nails scratched the glass frame housing Nathan and his mate's picture, mainly at his mate.Jessica couldn't hold the hate brimming within her at his chosen mate.This was supposed to be her smiling beside the Alpha, her arms clocked together with his not Kiara. Nate, the soon-to-be Alpha and the instant position of his mate as the Luna of the pack should all be hers but somehow her naivety and immaturity as a teen made her lose it all but all hope was not lost. The reason why she was here. The door clicked, startling her before it drew apart and revealing the one person she thought she was mentally ready to see and speak to but clearly she wasn't. Nathan weighed on his decision to speak to Jess, he could just turn his back and leave for his room to rest by Kiara's side but he could feel that cursed draw to meet her.He can't help it even if he wanted nothing to do with her. Plus, he needed answers to those buried questions of his.He approached his office where Ryan sa
The Lost Luna of Two Alphas Four- Finding Kiara
Nathan could never believe this was coming from his mother but she was standing in front of him. Her expression was stoic, showing no regrets whatsoever after saying Jessica would replace Kiara as his Luna.Anger surged within him as he raised his voice looking at her pointedly. " Kiara is the future Luna of this pack if I ever become an Alpha."She snapped, her head turning faster than light to look at him. Disbelief on her face."You can't have a stunted hybrid as the Luminous stone pack, Luna. It's a shame people are already talking, Nathan.""Let them talk, I couldn't care less, mother but you won't decide who gets to rule by my side.""You don't love her as deeply as you think, and she is not your mate. Jessica told me what happened between you two, that's enough sign for you to know you belong to Jessica, not her." "And Jessica, she is everything a Luna represents. She would allow your wolf to mate with its mate, she can shift whenever she wants to." "Not that stunted girl, w

"Mother?" Kiara asked, unsure she heard right. "Yes. She wants to see you." Yesterday, she spoke to Nate, the content of their discussion still unknown to Kiara as Nathan refused to say, a similar worried expression as the day before worn on his face. "Okay, you can go." Kiara dismissed and watched as she turned on her heel leaving through the door. She gazed at Linda, who had a puzzled look on her face, "You don't look too happy Luna Avery is requesting for you." "Who knows why she wants me? Probably to chide me for doing something wrong." "Don't worry, you can go. I would finish your work for you, and start on some," Linda promised, her voice assuring. Kiara reached out for her bag, "Thank you, Linda." She hugged her briefly before leaving through the door. Kiara could not calm the plaguing thoughts of worry in her head. She was nervous as well because of the pit of her stomach. Approaching a familiar door, she knocked and immediately the voice of Nate's mother resonated ba
The Lost Luna of Two Alphas Six- Finding Kiara
Nathan leaned forward one more time to capture Jessica's lips and feel their softness in his when he suddenly stopped mid-way feeling different. His wolf, restless. A curious frown appeared on Jessica's forehead at his odd behaviour, "What's wrong Nathan?" She asked, reaching out to caress his jaw. Something felt odd, he could sense Kiara's presence which wasn't possible because it was only he and Jessica in the room. Or was it? The room was dim so it was a bit odd to see a shadow reflecting through the door and a brighter source of light reflected into his office from the opened door the shadow of a figure reflecting through it. The door was opened? He turned sharply, walking away from Jessica who was seated indecently on his desk to his door and was met with the last person that should see him in this position. Kiara. She looked lost and was frozen to her feet, her eyes lacking the vibrance they always carried. He could see brimming tears underneath her lids threatenin

Shit,' he cursed and ran after her. He called her consecutively but she didn't stop for his calls, she ran like her life depends on it, her hair bouncing in the air just like the time they ran in the forest."Please listen to me, Kiara, I am sorry." Her hands swapped at her face, perhaps erasing the tears falling on her face."I am truly sorry, please don't go ahead with it." She suddenly stopped on her feet and turned to face him, keeping her distance. Her face was overflown with tears, strands of hair smeared to her wet face. He attempted to come close to her but she yelled, "Stay away from me, don't come any closer and please answer these questions?""Jessica is the reason our relationship spiralled this past few days and your mother..." She paused, her voice shaky as the said the next part. "She was aware, right?" You can't have a stunted hybrid as the Luminous stone pack, Luna. It's a shame people are already talking, Nathan recalled his mother earlier talk with him Or how s

Jessica drew the door of the backseat open, Kiara's lifeless body falling out almost immediately as she was rested against the door to keep her steady during the bumpy ride. Taking a brief look at the bloodied mess her car was in, she patted herself one more time for using a polythene wrap to cover her seats and the surfaces of her car to prevent a mess such as this and suspicions that might grow from it. Dragging Nate's dead mate out of the car, she was slightly overwhelmed by how heavy Kiara weighed for such a petite woman. She held her tight in her arms while the rest of her body was drawn across the wet soil. Jessica stopped momentarily to rest, her arms aching before carrying on once more, she dragged Kiara by the shoulder till they reached the edge of their destination. A downhill, overgrown with bushes, perfect for hiding her body till she is found dead or maybe not. The fact remains no one comes here, it's beyond the pack border and close to a highway sidelined with tall t

She closed her eyes tight when she noticed she was in the air instead of falling. Her chest still rose and fell as her nostril greedily dragged in the air. Why wasn't she falling anymore? She felt the soft breathing of a familiar man“Xander,” she mutters, her eyelids fluttering open. “Selena.“ He smiled as their forehead touched, his free arm holding her tightly against him. The strain and muscle pull his right arm suffered was nothing compared to the joy of holding her alive in his arms.A tear slipped out of her eye. “My trust belongs to you, Xander. Only you. I don't care how many wrongs you might have done against my people in the past, one thing is certain you've redeemed yourself.“ Xander pressed a desperate kiss on her forehead, her hair strands smeared on his face. “I won't fail you. I promise.“ A loud voice echoed from above the cliff, “Kiara!“ Nathaniel. Selena felt her chest tighten in guilt. Why was she hiding the truth from Xander, she was so scared for their love,

Xander turned around, finding it odd that Lena hadn't come since. He ignored Nathaniel's ramblings as to whether she was his mate or what not. “Selena!“ He yelled for her but only silence met him.His eyes met the spot where Jack was supposedly unconscious but odd enough His body wasn't there. His mind alarmed and alert, he brought out his Glock and walked towards different sections of the house, about to go to the back when…Jack's voice echoed through the house. Xander found himself pausing his steps up the stairs, gently he turned his neck to see him, and his world stopped.“Selena.“ A whisper left his lips.“You forgot too soon Alexander, that I hate you more than Estoc does and I yearn for your pain more than he wants your blood.“ A wide smile was strewn on his face. “Kiara!” Nathaniel rushed forward, desperate to get to Estoc. “Careful, wolfman you come any closer I blow her head off.“ He revealed the gun behind her head. Selena seemed unconscious, her frail body dragged on
The Lost Luna of Two Alphas Hundred And One
Xander stared at the dark wolf watching Selena intently, he found it unbelievable to fathom a beast just saved her from Jack's to kill her. It seemed too aware of its surroundings. Eyes flickering at every one occasion before returning it to Lena who was packed with shock. He drew her closer to his chest, aware of how traumatic the situations his past introduced her to were. But for the first time she wasn't drowning in his touches, she was rather stoic, her gaze following the dark beast around. The dark wolf turned around, dragging a dead guard towards a pillar, it then stood behind it and slowly became invisible.After some minutes had passed a man emerged from it, wearing the guard's trousers that wrapped tightly around his thighs and groin. He was muscular, his muscles ripped and taut, his biceps flexing as he walked forward. His face was the only part of his body that hadn't properly shifted. Xander watched him aware instantly of who he was, a shifter but by far the biggest h

Jack felt his world blurring up as he only looked into her eyes, he couldn't look away even if he wanted to. It was like she had him in some kind of trance. “Do you want me to show you how I killed Fred?“ Selena said in a whisper.Estoc watched as the scene unfolded before him, he did nothing but watch. Jack never mentioned Alexander's lover is just as dangerous as him.He wanted so badly to put a bullet through her, the need was greater than the urge to end Alexander. Both are irritating. One thing he never expected was she to be equally as strong and a challenge to deal with. He expected her to be this weak woman that Xander desperately wanted to save. Except he guessed more work has to be put into making her his preferred version of her. He cares less whether Fred brought her or whether she had him killed. She was here. That is the main deal.~~~Xander sat his box on the floor, running his fingers through his knives and selecting his best ones, before tucking his Glock. Maybe he

Xander paced restlessly around the guard Quarters as he stood outside, the headguard noticed him.“You look new.“ He said.Xander hummed in response not wanting to push the conversation further but the headguard who goes by the name Gideon was relentless.“You were employed today?“ He asked. “Yes.“ Xander replied, feigning a smile.“Hmm,” Gideon remarked. “I guess Sam was fired. You might not know Sam. He was a good fellow, you know but he had a drinking issue.” Xander nodded, fully aware of who Sam was. And what mysteriously happened to Sam?“Excuse me, I've got somewhere to be.“ Xander excused himself about leaving the head guard's presence when he got called back by the damn man. “What now?“ He said through gritted teeth, shocking the guard mildly.“You are not allowed to go beyond the premises at night.“ The guard said.“Whose orders?“ Xander asked, his temper rising.“Jack and the damn owner of this place.“ Xander drew closer to the man, till he withdrew slightly, a frightene

Xander drew his cap low to cover his face as he strolled around Estoc's home premises making sure not to pass out as suspicious. His disguise to look as big as the former guard was Ehhh…? Okay. He made do with the little resources his hands reached. The small round belly he gave himself fell each time off his toned abs, and his slender muscled form didn't quite resemble the bulky form of the former guard but he didn't plan on disguising himself for long. He just needed one night to confirm Selena was here and safe. He feared for her more than her, and this wasn't a risk if he had done much worse. His one prayer now was that Estoc or Jack didn't pay the guards too much attention to notice any oddity in their looks. The sound of man's shoes scratched against the gravel of the ground. Making Xander pause on his feet and listen. The legs moved further one more time, and this time oddly closer to where he stood. A voice spoke out and he instantly recognized the owner of that voice.

Xander couldn't stop the voice ringing in his head, "You need to protect her." He reached the ward door and pushed it open slowly. For the first time, his eyes landed on the woman he rescued the night before, she was different from the bloodied dying woman covered in mud. His legs trudged closer to observe her closer, something felt different in the air. And she was the cause. She was like an angel and a peaceful one in her unconscious state. Her pale golden skin reflected against the rays of the sun softened by the curtains while silky long dark hair rested past her shoulders, some falling in little strips of hair on her oval-shaped angelic face. Her skin looks smooth and flawless except for a noticeable depression on her right nostril, which made her nose look more pinched and aquiline. His eyes roamed over her face, her little plump lips parted slightly in sleep. Above her brows where the big bump with an acute cut was, was wrapped in a bandage. Xander couldn't explain why

L Nathaniel alighted from his car before walking into a coffee store, he was tired and groggy. And he needed to use a restroom to freshen up a bit. A strong coffee won't be bad. He found a place closest to the window. His eyes roamed about the streets on the outside of the environment as he tried to absorb more into his new noisy environment. He took a sip of the freshly brewed coffee he was offered, sipping contentedly, his mind going back to Kiara in a restless manner. Though he still perceived her scent strongly, it was like she was everywhere but nowhere, pockets of her here and pockets of her movement elsewhere. He would only be moving in circles if he didn't catch a direct glimpse of her soon. Tense for no exact reason he breathed in deeply to calm his senses, before running fingers into his hair. A loud chaos outside caught his attention and screams and pockets of loud whispers soon turned into chattering. “The car would run her over.“ He heard a man say. Nathaniel intrigu
The Lost Luna of Two Alphas Ninety Five
Lena felt like crying, she was so clueless and outrightly deceived by a goddess. She felt the evening cool air swirl around her, her hair billowing in the wind and she knew who was about to make herself appear. The air felt charged and electrified, her abdomen region burning for some reason. She closed her eyes at the pain and dust swirling in the air. Soon her bright white appearance formed in front of her eyes. Her body was covered in white glowing tattoos, and her hair billowed in the air, her eyes weren't as ferocious as Lena expected them to be instead they had a soft expression enamoured to it. “I am sorry.“ The goddess apologized, as tears poured down Selena's eyes. She was shaking with emotions she didn't know existed. Her reality and her fate weren't in her hands. She never had a choice in the beginning. All this while she wore the furs of a wolf that couldn't even help her when she was kidnapped, refused to help when she was almost killed by Fred, and let her be awa
