Kiera's Pov

Fear rippled through me like the waves on the sea, and I began to run in the dark, adrenaline rushing through me, and filling my brain with danger signs.

My heart seemed to beat in my throat, wanting to burst out, and finally, I stumbled.

“Ah!” I screamed from the pain and the fear that I would suddenly feel something heavy and menacing land on my back.

Gasping, I struggled to get to my feet, then realized I had stumbled on the staircase. With relief mingled with terror, I began to climb, using my hands and legs.

I got to the very top, and pushed…

“Ah…” I cried as the floorboard came open, revealing light. Immediately, I hoisted myself onto it, and tumbled into the room, hurriedly sealing the floorboard shut.

Why wasn't there some kind of lock to it? What if the creature came bounding up the stairs in search of me, and leaped against the floorboard?

What would happen when I was locked in the room when it came?

A new wave of dread filled me up. If the Cryogen managed t

    Keira's Pov“What's with all the dirt on your clothes?” He asked, looking really suspicious at me. “I did some cleaning. In my room. Underneath the bed, and… and on top of the wardrobes. Yes, I… I did all that.” I lied, hoping that he was going to be gullible for once in his life.“You did? You smell like something ancient. What have you been doing in that room? Where did you go? Edmond, where did you get her from?” He asked his right-hand man.“She was in her room, sir, and instead of cleaning, I think she was working on disheveling the room, although I do not think it could have generated that much dust.” Edmond replied, staring at me and I swallowed. “You locked the door. There was no way I could get out. Of course, I was in my room.”“Well, there is actually no use in chastising a dead man. I would ask you one last time; Do you wish to stay alive or become dead? Will you kill Alpha Zane, or make it into the Ancient Lake?” He asked, and I shivered, blinking faster than was requir

    Valerie’s PovThe room was filled with my laughter, and I loved just the way it felt so good.“There is nothing as sweet as gaining something this easy. Although, I didn’t expect that it was going to be this easy. My brother wouldn’t even allow me have the heirloom close to me because he feels it might be more endangered.” Damien said.“Well, we know how Zane gets protective over things like this. It would have been you to get the heirloom key, but you would actually be easily noticed.” I said to him with a smile on my face.“Yeah, I know right?”“How about we visit the pack house so we know if she made it or not. No need to stress ourselves having to go back to the forest to know if she fell into the hole.” I suggested with a smile on my face.“Okay, that’s much better.”I grabbed my jacket, and we both left the house, heading for the pack house. With this heirloom key, I could have something good to hold on to for the meantime until I plan to get something else again from Zane. Ther

    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

    Luna's Pov“We need to talk. Follow me.” I said to her, leading her down the alley. She followed obediently, not saying a word, and walked down to the end of the alley.After emerging from another end of the street, we located a cafe, where she ordered a drink for the both of us. “So… tell more about this. I need to understand, and who are you? You have the tattoo. It means you're someone important. So how did you get here? Aren't you going back? You said it's dangerous for you to remain here, so how come?”She looked lost, like she didn't know which to reply, so I took in a deep breath, “Who are you?” “I’m Elaine Beckett, and I'm a part of the Advising board that tackles the problems of the Alphas, by giving out advice that they need.”“Do they take young people for that? How old are you?”“I'm Thirty-six.”“Ah, I see. How many years have you been with them? I don't really deal with the advising board, so I don't know much about you all.”“I've been among them for three years now.

    Keira's Pov“That must have scared you, right?” Zane asked, looking at me when we were back in my room. “A lot. I actually thought I was going to die. Thanks.” I replied, looking at my fingers. “You still seem restless.”“What about everyone? Are they okay?” I asked, meeting his eyes for a second, before bouncing them off. “Yes, they are. Is that really what's bothering you?” He asked, tucking my hair behind my ear. How can a single touch send shivers of electricity racing down a person's body like a bolt of energy?I wanted to lean into his embrace, but instead, I leaned away.“Luna, what's wrong?”That name! That name was what made everything wrong. “I just feel I'm doing something I shouldn't be doing.”“What's that?” He asked, and I looked into his green eyes. Perhaps, for the last time, for the very last time, he would see my sincerity, and accept that I wasn't his Luna. “Zane, I'm not Luna.” My whispering desperation seeped out through my voice in deep tones, and I hoped th

    Luna's Pov“We should sit, and talk properly because I really don't understand you. The doctors told us nothing was wrong with you, so this is very new to me.” Emily said, as we walked down an alleyway. I could hear the sound of trees rustling along with the wind in the distance. “So you found me here?” I asked, ignoring her earlier words. “That exact spot.” She said, pointing to a corner with a white chalk drawn around it. It was the position of a man sprawled in an awkward position.“Was this outlined using my body?” I asked, and she nodded.“At first, you were presumed to be dead. You weren't breathing, nor was your heart beating. They'd already taken photos of you, trying to determine the cause of your death when you suddenly woke up.” She replied, and I looked at her. “I was dead?” “Yeah, you were, and that's what worries me. The police say it seemed you dragged yourself all the way from the water, and finally collapsed here.” “Why are you telling me this just now?” I asked

    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'

    Keira's PovI walked quickly, the moon filtering through the trees that closed around me. The leaves rustled noisily as I ruffled past them, while the twigs snapped with such ferocity that you'd think the forest didn't want me there since I was going to shed blood that night. I was doing it all for Luna. You might be wondering what I'm saying, and everything is all confusing, but don't you worry, it's all going to be better because she found me.Yes, Luna found me. *FLASHBACK*“...surrender!”The voice was painstakingly like mine, blending in the sharp echoes of the dark place, and I wondered for a moment if I was dreaming, or hallucinating. I couldn't see anyone, but the voice was everywhere, coming from not one particular place.“Keira.” The voice came again, more urgently, “Are you there? Can you hear me?” “I… can hear you.” I replied, still uncertain…“It's Luna.” She said, and my mouth dropped while an unexplainable joy filled me up like a fountain. The joy was radiating from

    Luna's PovI fell to the ground immediately, landing hard on my butt. What was going on?Lenny moved backwards, trashing the walking stick. “Stand at the door.” She said to the maids, as she took off her coat, and the maids bowed, going to the door instantly.She went back to the window, where she jumped onto a rotating chair, and twirled it around. “It was fun.” She squealed, before turning back to me, with all the seriousness etched on her face, “Nice meeting you, Luna. I'm the MoonCub.” Moonlight shed onto her beautiful features. Even with a poker face, she looked divine. “I don't understand.” My words came out in a broken whisper. “What part do you not understand? I assumed you were smart.” She replied, staring at me with a raised brow. MoonCub. We should have known. A cub was literally a baby! And she… was a product of the moon. It was just so hard to imagine that the blind girl who was cautious about everything and everyone was the one I was searching for all along.Slow

    Keira's PovI woke up, my eyes wet with tears that had rolled downwards. I continued to sniff, wiping my tears as they rolled down continuously. ‘What just happened?’ Maini asked, dazed just like I was. “I’m going home.” I sniffed again, sitting up gently, leaning against the dirty wall. ‘It was real. I felt it.’ Maini whispered, sounding near to tears. “I know it was real, and we only have to do what she says. It would be fine. I've never felt freer to tell everything to someone. Finally, I feel less hopeless, but first, I'll need to do something about this situation.”I skidded around the halls, looking for doors, trapdoors, and ways to get out. And luck found me. Instead of finding a trapdoor, I found a door, with light peeking out at the edges. Running to it, I pulled, hoping against hope that it would be open, and I'd be able to come out safely. The door came out freely and lots of air gushed in freely, slapping my face like a flood. For how long was I out in my head? It

    Luna's PovI rose to my feet sharply, my chair scraping backwards behind me hastily. “I got a… a letter from the MoonCub!” I squealed, my feet bouncing off the floor as I jumped, before running around.“Wait, what? Come here! Bring it!” Nikkie shouted, coming to me, as I ran around the room, unable to contain my energy. “Wait, Luna, let us see!” Elaine cried, and they all crowded around me, passing the letter among themselves. I went down onto my knees, covering my mouth to muffle my scream. “I'm going back home!” I cried, suddenly feeling the overwhelming need to let tears down. Damn, my throat burned. “Okay, let's not get too excited!” Emily screamed, even though her face was pink with shock and excitement, “This so-called MoonCub might, and might not help. We can't rejoice until we know for sure. We have to see this person first!”“Emily's right. I swear I might break down if my heart is broken again. The first thing to do is see this MoonCub.”“Got it. I'll go now.”“Okay, hu

    Keira's PovBeheaded?What was he saying? Did he really mean what he said? Was he going to behead me?Wait… I didn't understand a thing of what was going on. “Lying, and fooling us. Using us, deciding to settle in a life that's not yours. I just knew it. Everything with you was terribly wrong.” His teeth were gritted, and I could feel he was barely holding back from striking me. “But… I t…told you. From the very beginning, I've always told you that I'm not L… Luna.” I protested softly, stepping a foot backwards from him.“It's natural for everyone to find that fact unbelievable at first, but you should have kept on telling the truth. Will you pretend that there wasn't a time you tried to make us keep believing that you were Luna? You even tried to stop us from having the concubines. You did so many things to make us believe you were ours. Damn you for that.” His voice grew louder with each sentence, and eventually he shoved me aside harshly. “Zane, for now, we can't dwell on punish

    Luna's PovI squeezed my fists hard. “Is everything okay?” Lenny asked, her unseeing eyes focused on empty space, as her brows furrowed.Then I bit down on my lip aggressively.“Ah! I let out, as the metallic taste of blood touched my tongue. For just a moment, everything seemed to stop.Taking in deep shaky breaths, I began to scratch hard at my skin, planting marks on my arm. Pain… Pain seemed to draw everything to it. If my mind was working on something else, processing pain, it wouldn't be able to focus on its brainwashing sessions.“Why are you quiet? Talk to me.” Lenny said, her hands reaching out to search for me. Her little fingers touched the wounds I was carving into my skin, and we both gasped. “Careful.” I lashed out, even though I was the one inflicting the pain on myself. “What are you doing? What's that? It feels like a fresh wound.” She placed her fingers on her nose, smelling the blood on it, “Did you get hurt?” She turned to me instantly, her eyes lost in space.
