Kiera’s PovMy hands and legs flailed helplessly, as the water joined hands with the force of gravity to pull me down. Water got into my nose, mouth, and ears, and it was a very horrible feeling as I plummeted downwards, unable to even scream, unable to cough, unable to choke, just getting rained down by the powerful water. My hands fought to grab anything I could find, just anything as my heart seemed to want to tear right out of my chest. But all that happened was my hands sailing right through the water, unable to grab anything. The fear suddenly seemed like a real creature threatening to devour me alive. It was a force on its own, and it felt like I'd die of the fear before the rocks got to me.Finally, I crashed into the dark water, plunging deep with the speed at which I had been falling.“Help.” I muttered out like anyone could hear me from out here.I felt my body freeze. It was damn cold! The feeling left my fingers and toes, and they felt numb, so numb that I couldn't begi
Kiera's Pov“Stop. Stop. Just stop this, okay? Can we… can we just leave?” I said as I withdrew my hands from him and got down from the bed, then put on my clothes.He was getting scarier each time he got engrossed with me or something. I wouldn't want a situation whereby he would kill me just because he didn't want anyone else to have me.“Did I say something wrong?” He asked, peering into my eyes like he really needed answers.“Look. I wasn't even supposed to have sex with you. It's… it's wrong.” I said ,then put on my footwear as well.“But we are mates, Luna.” Then I walked up to him and raised my head to meet his eyes.“I don't know much about your mate thing and how things run here, but what I know is that it is wrong to be with someone else when you've tied the knot with another.”“Luna…”“Please just take me back to the pack house.” I urged him as I shut my eyes tight, tired of having this conversation and anything that could remind me of what happened last night between us.
Luna’s PovIt's been a few days since I stayed in my room, unwilling to step out or do anything else because ever since I have found myself here, I have felt nothing but disappointment and sadness.I couldn't feel my wolf, I couldn't even feel the mate bond between Zane, Ryder, Caleb and I, which makes things so confusing, especially as there is no one here to explain what really is going on with me.Suddenly, a knock interrupted my thoughts and I felt this anger monster growl in me briefly before I looked towards the door.“One other thing I dislike about being here.” I said under my breath.The fact that it is whenever I got myself into a serious thought that I always got interrupted, made me so cranky.“Come in.” I urged.If I didn't say that, whoever was knocking would come in any way. Even if I had locked it, they would get their spare key. Tried it every single time, and now, I'm just right here, sick and tired of everything.The door opened and Kiera's mother stepped in with a
Keira's PovI squinted my eyes are the brightness of the light, stirring me awake from my unconsciousness.Then there was a dull throb behind my head as I blinked my eyes open. Where the hell was I? I tried to remember the last occurrence I was in and realized, I was rushing towards a subway station, collectively recapping the pile of essays I would need for my presentation and then the next...I was in a hospital room with the smell of it assaulting my nostrils.I gently sat up, or tried to when a firm hand pressed against my shoulder, restraining me."Take it easy." A rich baritone velvet like voice soothed.My head snapped towards the origin of the voice before I found myself staring into a pair of piercing emerald eyes and incredibly handsome features.His dark hair was tousled and it accentuates his chiseled features giving him an undeniably attractive appearance.A faint shadow of stubble lined his sharp jawline, and I couldn't help but wonder what it would feel like against my
"So you three are like actual werewolves? As in shapeshifters? Full moons, silver bullets, nine yards?They all nodded their intense gaze unwavering.A strangled laugh escaped my lips. "Werewolves?" I shook my head in disbelief. "So what's next? For me to believe vampires and witches are real too?""We know how it sounds," Caleb chimed in, his roguish grin doing little to mask the worry in his blue eyes. "Crazy, right? But you have to believe us, babe. You're our Luna, our mate, bound to us by magic older than civilization itself."I shot a glare at him. "How often do I have to repeat myself? My name is Keira Evans. I'm just a normal high school teacher, not this Luna person you keep rambling about."Ryder stepped forward, his massive frame radiating a raw power and dominance that had me instinctively shrinking back against the thin hospital mattress."You are Luna Blackwood," he growled, his golden eyes flickering with an animalistic ferocity that sent a shiver of trepidation down my
"You're sure you're feeling up to this?" Zane's brow furrowed with concern as the nurses finished the discharge paperwork. "There's no need to rush, we can take things slowly if you want."I shook my head before tucking a strand of hair behind my head.I needed to see this "pack" they kept referring to with my own eyes."No, let's just get this over with," I said, unable to hide the trepidation in my voice. "Maybe being around...your people will start jogging these supposed memories of mine."Caleb looped an arm around my shoulders, the casual contact sparking a shiver of awareness down my spine despite my attempts at indifference.Damn these insanely attractive men and their dizzying effect on my hormones."Don't worry, love," he purred in that honeyed drawl that should be illegal. "We've got a place all set up just for you. Make yourself at home while your memories sort themselves out."The thought of being isolated with the three of them, no matter how gorgeous, set my nerves jangl
The opulent villa may have screamed luxury, but the ostentatious decor did little to disguise its cloying air of captivity. Sure, the sleek furnishings and polished surfaces exuded sophistication and wealth.But the reinforced windows and security monitors tracking my every move were unsettling reminders that this gilded cage was still very much a prison.I'd been settled into my new "home" for three days, and the initial confusion swirling through my mind had only intensified. Flashes of deeply unsettling visions plagued my tenuous grasp on reality - scenes of violence, blood, and forms that defied the natural order lurking beneath the full moon's eerie crimson glow.Were these glimpses of my supposed supernatural past as Luna resurfacing?Or was I simply cracking under the psychological strain of being held captive by these delusional - yet insanely attractive - men?The sound of the suite's door disengaging drew me from my brooding reverie.I tensed, watching warily as a beautifu
Damien's piercing stare settled on me with hungry intensity. "That this naive little illiterate isn't our long-lost Luna at all. Just an unwitting stand-in, haplessly caught in the crosshairs of Fate's cruel games."The bottom dropped out of my stomach as their sinister intimations coalesced into a horrifying reality. They knew I wasn't the real Luna. Which meant..."You two tried to kill her," I gasped, sickened realization crashing over me. "The actual Luna, your brother's mate. You're the ones responsible for her disappearance!"Valerie asked unsympathetically. "Don't look so betrayed, little one. That pathetic excuse for a Luna had far too strong a grip over my Alphas. I merely...removed an inconvenient obstacle to ensure they could reach their full potential under my guidance.""You're both certifiable!" I spat, every hard-won instinct screaming at me to flee from their poisonous presence. "Zane, Caleb and Ryder would never...""What? Fall under the depraved sway of a usurping bi
