Keira’s Pov“Is it… Is it going to claim my life?” I asked, out of anxiousness.“Claim your life? Why should it? You just have to be careful of any trap and try your best not to get caught. I’ll be expecting the heirloom key as soon as possible.” Valerie said, then walked out of my room.I let out a sigh, thinking of how I was going to get that heirloom key because I needed it as fast as possible just so I could leave this place quickly and avoid committing any sin which would make the real Luna angry if she came back.“Think, Keira.” I said under my breath as I sat on the bed, staring hard into blank space.“I have to find a way to it, and it has to be very soon.” I said, with determination.~It was past midnight, and everywhere was quiet; a perfect time for me to sneak into wherever I had to get into. Just as I wanted to go out of bed, I heard footsteps heading towards my room, so I immediately laid on my bed, and covered myself up just in case it was really my room the person was
Luna's Pov My back was leaned against the headboard and I couldn't help but think about when the wolf attacked me the other night. In fact, it had been most of what i was thinking of throughout today.“How could that be?” I asked myself, still feeling really baffled about everything.How was it possible that the wolf didn't fear me and tried to jump at me? I also felt powerless and weak. If not that Emily interfered right in time and hit the wolf with a big stick, I would have been torn into pieces by now.Definitely, I had lost my powers. Something must have happened to me somehow because there was no explanation to how I felt weak and unable to defend myself.“Gosh.” I said under my breath and buried my face in my palms.This was all too much for me to take in and there was no one I knew around here that could explain the situation. Besides, I had found out that there was no way back to my pack from here. This place was more like an entirely different world for me.A knock on my doo
Luna's PovBefore anything else happened, the woman turned away and ran off.“Shit!” I cursed under my breath.“What's going on?” Emily asked, but I ignored her and jumped on my feet, then ran towards the corner I had seen the strange woman.“Keira! Keira!” I heard Emily call out to me, but I didn't look back or respond.I didn't want to lose that woman as she might have an answer to the weird things I was experiencing by being here.As soon as I got to that corner, I saw her running off in the distance. She also looked back at me, but looked forward again, trying to run as fast as she could.“Hey! Hold on, please!” I voiced out to her, and my voice echoed, but she didn't halt.I swung my arms back and forth with the wind brushing past my hair, but I wasn't as fast as I used to be, and it was really frustrating.But thankfully, before I lost sight of her, I saw her turning to the right side, so I ran towards that place. On getting there, I discovered it was a warehouse just down the s
Alpha Zane’s PovI sat on my bed with a glass of alcohol in my hand and staring at the door blankly. It had been days with confusion and worry on my mind for Luna. Series of thoughts of what could have happened to her that made her to forget her memories.She must have needed my help so bad, and probably have called out to me several times, but was so far away from her, not knowing where she was. I gulped down the last shot of alcohol and rose to my feet, then placed the glass cup on the bedside table. I walked to the bathroom, and got into the bathtub, then leaned on it.“Luna, what exactly did you go through?” I said under my breath as I stared at the wall.Well, whatever it was that she must have gone through, I hope I would be able to help her to get over it and how to help her get her memories back because it is certain she doesn’t feel at home yet.Suddenly, I felt the presence of someone in my room, so I got up from the bathtub, put on my robe, and opened the door gently before
Keira's Pov“Help!” I called out loud, but no one heard me.I was already becoming a little uncomfortable because of how choked I felt. Being inside here in the middle of the night when anything could happen was really suffocating.But just as I looked to the left, I saw something like a tunnel, and while I didn't want to go in, I had to because I heard a howl from afar. What if it was a rogue or a hungry wolf?I immediately hurried into the tunnel and while running, I noticed it had an end and it was easy to climb a little until I got out and felt the freshness of the air caress my skin. It was so good to be back on the ground than being underground.But then, this was a different place; it seemed really different from the other side of the tunnel in which I came from.“What if?” I said under my breath with a bright smile.There could be a possibility that I could find my way home myself because this part of the forest looked strange to me. Besides, there was no need to stay back; Za
Kiera’s Pov“A mission?” I asked, swallowing. Something about it just didn't sound right. It didn't. Maybe it was the way he said it, or the chilling look in his eyes as he said it. It all made me feel very unnerved. “A mission.” He repeated without an expression on his face, and that was sort of spooky.“What mission is that? Is it something I can do? Something anyone can do? What exactly is it?” I asked, hoping it wasn’t something which would be very difficult especially if I had no choice than to do it.He continued to regard me with those soulless eyes. I couldn't even appreciate his beauty because of the aura he carried around. It commanded fear; shivering fear.“Eliminate someone.” he finally replied, and my head jerked back as a gasp escaped my parted lips.“Eli… what? I should do what?” I asked him in shock.What was he saying? Eliminate as in murder?“I will not be repeating my words.” He droned icily. “You want me to kill someone. I'm… I'm not a henchman. I've never kille
Kiera’s PovHow tall was the mansion? Or was it a Palace? Why was it so high above the ground? Even looking down at it made a wave of nausea pass through me. Finally, I retired to my bed, and waited the whole day for someone to come. Anyone.When it was late in the afternoon, I heard footsteps approaching, and I jumped to my feet, looking around for any sort of weapon I could use to help myself. Foolishly picking the bedside lamp, I raised it and crept to the door. If I cracked it hard enough, then I could knock him out, and run, away from his stupid mansion, and his stupid demands. Unfortunately, when the door opened, I had to stop myself. It was a maid, and behind her was Edmond, standing guard, looking at me menacingly. I dropped the lamp, and retreated, keeping my eyes on Edmond.She came in with Lunch, preparing it for me, and I glanced at Edmond.“What's the Ancient Lake?” I asked. The man had threatened to throw me into whatever the Ancient Lake was if I failed to do his bi
Kiera's PovI walked further, and it seemed like I was already in a tunnel, Although, I had no idea of where I was heading to, but with what they say, _“There is light at the end of a tunnel.”_ Hopefully, that the light would lead me to a better place than here.I had it in mind to run far from here, and go back home, to get back to my old, comfortable life, and also probably search for the lady named Luna, out of kindness since her mates had treated me nicely, but since I had just discovered that someone was after Zane’s life, I had to at least, warn him about it.Usually, I felt i would just escape out of here and find my way back home, but then, there was this feeling that couldn't let me leave, knowing Zane could be in trouble. Why I felt that way for someone I literally had nothing to do with if not for the fact that I found myself here; I had no clue about it.This particular Alpha man seemed to be really dangerous, but if Zane was very well prepared, there was a high chance h
Keira's Pov Flowers rained down on me, and screams and whoops emanated from the audience as I held blood red roses in my hands against the backdrop of my white wedding dress.Armless, showcasing my beautiful shoulders and slender arms.The dress was quite fitted at the waist where it flared out into beautiful pleats flecked with shining stones.Nikkie had spent quite a fortune on the dress. I can remember him ditching the idea of a brand new car he so much wanted just so he would make me pleased.Finally, it was my D-Day. Perhaps the day every woman grew up dreaming of. A day that ought to roll by perfectly without any hitches.The last few months had easily been the worst months of my life, but now, walking in the aisle, with Emily behind me as my best lady, my father's arm linked in mine, I felt like the happiest person in the universe.Finally, I was given to Nikkie and he took my hand in his. There was a shattering applause as he did so, and he opened my veil, his lips broadening
Luna's PovI woke up the next morning, yawning. I was alone on the bed, naked, and a smile crept onto my face.The memory of the previous night lingered like the aftertaste of sweet wine.“She's still asleep.” I heard Lily protest from outside.“I know. Just let me in.” That was Elaine.I got up from the bed, hair cascading over my shoulders, as I crossed the room to get my robe.Throwing it over my body, I went out to see what it was all about.“It's fine, Lily,” I said, going over to the long table to pour myself some water.“Luna, something strange happened this morning.” She said, and I dropped my glass, staring at her with my heart pounding a little faster.Something strange?The past few months held the strangest occurrences in all my life. What other thing could be stranger?I cleared my throat.Fear was definitely not the way to get around it.“What is it?”“Everyone else has forgotten. Nobody remembers there being two Lunas. They all think I'm crazy.”“How can nobody remember
Keira's PovThat evening was set to be perfect. I'd already dyed my hair a beautiful brown and had combed it perfectly down my shoulders in waves.Then I selected a white gown with straps knotted into a ribbon at the shoulder. The dress was way above my knees, and hung gently on my figure, managing to outline the pretty curve of my body, and atrocious flare of my hips.Placing a simple silver choker on my neck, I paired it with short dangling silver earrings, and a pretty bracelet on my wrist.Then I tucked my hair behind my ear, and put on a pair of white heels, coupled with a white handbag.When I went down the stairs, Emily dropped the sliced watermelon from her mouth back into her plate as she watched me.I smiled, biting my lip, as my eyes went down shyly.“Girl! You are dressed to kill!” She sat up, dropping the plate on the table next to her.“Is it too much?” I asked, spreading out my arms.“What did you expect? My daughter is beautiful, so whatever she wears makes her all the
Luna's Pov“Don't kill her yet.” Ryder said, taking my hand gently.“Oh. I actually didn't mean to kill her. I just wanted to show her how much her stupid tactics had gotten to me. Don't tell me she's out cold?” Ryder knelt to touch her neck.“Yes, she is out cold.” He confirmed.“Let go of me! You mad tyrant!” We heard Damien scream as Caleb brought him back roughly, pushing him to the ground.“Dark magic, huh? You rotten piece of shit.” Zane couldn't hold himself. He began to hit Damien, flinging him all around.“There goes the person you ought to control.” I said, jerking my head in Zane's direction as he battered the helpless Damien. “You know what I'd prefer for these two idiots as punishment?”Zane stopped, breathing hard, “What would that be?” He asked.“Put them in the dark dungeon. No light, no life, nothing. Put them there for the rest of their days. Forever.” I smirked, looking at Valerie.She would be the one to freak out the most. She would be the one to hate that life th
Keira's Pov“Keira, hurry! Breakfast will get cold!”My eyes fluttered open slowly.“Keira! Come on, how long do you have to sleep?”Mom.My eyes hit the ceiling— a familiar memory.Damn…I sat up in bed hastily, but winced slightly. I was still in bloody clothes with the slashes Zane had given me.But…“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHHHHHH!” I screamed, then began to jump, not minding the pain. I bounced on the bed, the tables, a little sofa, and back to the bed.“Keira, what…?” Mom opened the door, and I flung myself at her, knocking her backwards.“Mom!” I shouted, tears filling my eyes quickly.“What's wrong with you? Why are you this way?”“Mom.” I cried again, burying my face in her chest, taking in her lovely scent sweetly.“What's going on? What's with the noise?” Dad asked, and I ran to him, “Woah, woah, hold on!” He had to drop the flower pot he was holding just so he could catch me in his arms.“Keira, what's with your clothes?”“I was scratched by a dog.” I cried, lying convenientl
Luna's PovIt was a feeling of relief as I fell to the ground, losing control of everything. The shock in Zane's haughty eyes was to die for.How sorry he would be when he realized his mistake. My eyes closed, and an insane shock ran through my bones. Energy from different cells burst to life, flowing through my veins like burning blood.I could feel my claws protrude from my fingers, and when my eyes slammed open, it was with a smile.Then I jumped up, full of energy, and everyone backed away, putting lots of feet between us, fear etched into their faces.“Welcome back.” Maini said, as I touched my arms, looking at my own body in fascination.“It is good to be back. Damn, I feel capable.”I wanted to smash my fist into something, wanted to hurl someone into the distance.Anything just to release the amount of energy surging through me like a torrent.Zane bent, staring at Keira.“That's not me. I'm over here.” I said, shooting him a grin.He looked confused, and Keira's eyes fluttere
Luna's PovI buckled up, ready to storm that damned festival, and put a stop to the whole thing. I would drag Valerie and Damien out, then give them the harshest spanking of their lives. They would regret ever trying to take my place. “Let's go.” I said to Elaine, and she followed me without many words, “So have you met your doppelgänger?”“Yes, I've met her. She'd almost lost all her memories, but she didn't know what to do, where to start from, so she just regarded this as a nightmare. She felt she was in a coma in the real world, and this is perhaps the world comatose people fall into. Comatose, my foot.” Elaine chuckled. “Well, better for her to think she's comatose, or she'd have gone crazy.”“Luna, do you think this is a good idea?”“If it's not a good idea, then what else could it be? Eventually, we’ll have to confront them.” I said, brushing my hair. Red hair really sucks on me, by the way. Elaine didn't say anything else out of fear of uncertainty until we got to the festi
Keira's Pov‘How disrespectful!’ Maini spat from within me. I could feel her anger burning, the heat spreading, threatening to consume my whole body with the force, ‘Do as your Luna commands!’ She snarled, and my claws slid out without me even making them to. The fangs also sliced their way out, and the next few minutes was a complete bloodbath. I didn't even know what I was doing. All I knew was that blood was splashing onto my face and chest in all directions. Bones snapping, blood gushing, men screaming, teeth falling out, flesh pierced…Maini wielded my body like a weapon as I dodged, smashed, thrust, grabbed, struck, and did everything with immense speed and depth. Before I knew it, I was standing, breathing hard, my chest heaving heavily, blood dripping from my fingers as the men lay everywhere around me.“Perfect.” I heard Luna say, as she began to clap. Then I turned to her, with a little smile, “Thanks to Valerie, I was able to strengthen Maini.” I replied, a little shy
Luna's PovWe all stared at each other as the moon rose higher in the sky.“This is it for us, I guess,” Nikkie said, and I found myself stuck in his beautiful eyes that seemed to hold all the sorrow in the world.“If you look so sad, then I really won't be able to go,” I replied softly.“You both are not in another country or city where we can give a call, or send a letter. You're going to another world entirely. The moment you go now, you will never return.” Emily said, her eyes already filling up with tears, and Elaine hugged her. “We're all going to be okay. Just know that we're going to miss you too.” She said, patting Emily's head, and I moved to Nikkie on my knees, bringing him closer to me in a hug. “The heavens know how much I'll miss you. You've been the major source of my change. I'm grateful for all you've done for me, Nikkie.” Then I pulled away, and hugged Emily, as Elaine went to hug Nikkie, “You too. I think I'll remember you each time I see a ginger-headed woman. I'
