KIARA POV.

I woke up in a strange room, with my injuries all taken care of and bandages. Sitting up, I realized my hand was chained tightly and secured.

I could not bring my hands to my face, no barely use it. However, situations like this were part of our training, how to get away from tight locks, so this was a piece of cake.

I brought my claws out, inserting it in the key, after much twist and turn, the padlock broke, so with my claw, causing it to bleed.

It would stop and heal eventually, the nail was the least of my concern as I looked around the room studying it.

It looked like an underground warehouse, I was even able to confirm it when I heard noises from the top.

I could see the wallpaper was soundproof so it was futile calling for help. The window was extremely small which made me a bit surprised at how the room was ventilated.

    DAMON/ BRYCE POVA month has passed and I have not seen a sign of Kiara, it made me wonder if I was deceiving, if I was quick to judge her..I couldn't tell why she was interested in me and for what reason she did so.

Because of her, I started coming here at twelve, waiting for her and hoping I would see her by the week.Since she wouldn't come to me herself, I made her come to her and today I planned on getting their location, by using the cameras..As I opened the door to my hideout, I was shocked to find the key open, there was a mudding step down the staircase and I found the door open.Rushing in, I was surprised to find her staring at the door while sitting down.

All through the week, she has been asking me to tell her, however I refuse to do so.This time, the message was different, she wanted her weapon back, so it won't be traced to her.She feared it would affect her and she would get kicked out. The text was becoming so much and each sounding relevant and having a tone of emergency.I wasn't planning to do it, in fact I wasn't going to blame anyone. As I went through all the messages, a message popped up on my phone. It was an acceptance to meet.I was happy that I nearly threw my phone away. All through this while Anna watched me, her eyes seemingly eager to know who I was talking to."You never laugh at me," she complained. "Who is she?" Anna asked. "Don't ask me any questions," I said, taking my things to leave."You don't show me this emotio

    BYRCE/ DAMON POV.Later on, I got a text from Kiara.. "I have handed them the file," she texted. "And what do they say, how long am I giving them," he replied. "A month," she replied. I paused to think about this. "Ok, not a big deal," I replied. "So you are off then?" I asked. "Almost," she said, texting three dots. "Damon, about my outburst," she texted"It's fine, I'm not angry, it was your emotion, why should I judge you for something you have no control over," I texted.."That was not something I was expecting," she texted, which made me laugh to myself. If I was home, I'm sure they would have labeled me as a psycho.

    DAMON/BRYCE. I couldn't believe she would ask to move in with me, I was happy about it, it was a much better way for me to be able to spend time with her.Not wasting time, I accepted and began listing the things she would need. From foodstuffs she would be able to cook with kitchen gadgets to clothes and to things that would keep her occupied at night. When I returned, I decided to break another window which would give her ventilation. This room didn't have those things before.This was because when I created it, it was not for staying. I never stayed here for a day but would only come here at night, thus I didn't see the need for essentials like a toilet or Kitchen and had only used a smaller window. There were three compartments I didn't use as two of them were supposed to serve as a kitchen and toilet, so I called people in to help fix a shower and toilet in it and help me with the kitchen by putting a window in both of them.I also made the toilet and kitchen soundproof to le

"I wasn't at the office today as I had just woken up by myself.She had complained to my uncle who didn't see it as anything, as long as an heir is produced was what he was after.This made talking to Kiara easy at any time of the day. "So, how horrible, like rate it," I requested."A lot of bad, those numbers won't work," she texted back. "I thought it was easy, I watched Beatrice throw stuff," she complained in a text."You didn't help in the kitchen," I asked. "I did, in cutting stuff, I have good knife skills," she boasted in her text."Then eat your knife skills," I teased as she went quiet, sending only dots.I couldn't get to see her next text because a maid came informing me of the king's summon.On getting to his quarter, I saw him having a talk with someone.

I mumbled, trying to fit it.Damon to my utter surprise had come earlier than he usually does and he was holding a lot of alcohol."Want to drink?" He offered. "No thank you, I don't drink," I replied. "Why?" He asked."I really didn't have a very strong alcohol tolerance and thus the only time I drink is on a mission, but that's not the case," I yelled."Kiara, trust me, I'm just as surprised as you are and I know it puts us in a dangerous position," he said. "I don't think you do," I slumped down. "And you are not reacting," I said."You think, I have screamed and scattered my home for this, I came really calm alright," he said."And I just need some alcohol to do that," He added. Going to the kitchen, I brought out a cup and sat down on the fl

    KIARA POV.The whole scene flashed through my head and when I eventually woke up, I realized it was just a dream. I was awake in our room, with a different dress and fresh scent, no doubt he helped bath and dress me. I quickly rush out and inquire for his whereabouts. I was just about heading to the prison when he came out. His expressions quickly changed to that of a worried look even as he explained Maya's situation, he kept coming closer as if I would fall any minute from now.When I entered the room she was placed in, I was surprised to see her chained, even Damon was surprised as he told me she was sleeping when he left.Nevertheless, I still entered, squatting near her as I waited patiently for her to wake up and when I was too impatient to wait, I snapped my fingers in front of her, continuously until she was awake."You," she cursed underneath her breath. "Yes Maya, I'm standing in front of you, victorious in the end," I said."You may be victorious Kiara but then, I have l

    DAMON/BRYCE POV."Kiara, are you crying," I asked, after noticing her teary eyes. Does she feel pity for Maya? I couldn't tell because of how unpredictable Kiara can be.She quickly cleaned her eyes and then looked at me, frowning. "Is it your fault, my body went into shock seeing how you nearly died on me," she grumbled, folding her eyes and trying to get her act together, even though her body was clearly shaking.I smiled a bit, seeing that even though she couldn't help showing her feelings for me, I went to hug her. "I'm sorry my love," I apologize. "It was my mistake and carelessness, but get angry at me, I can't stand it, I won't be able to focus," I whispered as she pushed me away, "I'm not angry," she mumbled, hiding her face. "Let's go inside," she says, walking ahead but yet her step wasn't straight. Realizing she was slowly going unconscious, I rushed to her, catching her just in time as she shut her eyes."Is she alright?" They asked, all expressing concern about her. "

    KIARA POV"Give the order to attack," I instructed Damon. "But," he mumbled, the hesitation in his eyes and I firmly looked at him, telling him it was alright. "I'm trusting you," he muttered as I nodded, smiling a little. It was nice hearing that and I had to bit my lip from smiling more than that."Attack," He commanded and we rushed to reciprocate their actions, halfway I knew he noticed they were slowly down, not completely slow but enough for us to work with. This wasn't what we wanted, we wanted them to be completely slow, but they weren't, it still gave us a good opportunity to attack, getting rid of them before it began wearing off.The ones giving gear went flying while the rest stayed on the ground. I'm sure Damon had figured out that majority of our men fighting were the omegas. The rest were ask to look after the safety of our citizen.However, I noticed it didn't affect the young vampire king, I couldn't even tell if he was actually young, because of their anti-aging a

    DAMON/BRYCE POV. "That's a short timing, they are only giving us three days to prepare," I complained after reading the note out loud. "The omega team will arrive tonight, we will be giving you our best warriors," Alan said. "You are talking as if you have a plan," Kiara muttered, she just sat there, looking calm. "We used two days to strengthen them, the ones that would make great progress would be to play in the defending team, along with the omegas, the one that don't, we will settle them somewhere," He replied. "Do you think he killed Wyatt?" I questioned. "We don't know, who knows if Wyatt is engineering everything," she mumbled a reply."I'm worried about their speed," he announced. "They have to be like a gas that can help slow them down, even if it's up to five to ten minutes, it would give us an advantage," she said, standing up from her place and heading towards Alan."I remember when I joined, you all were working on something like that, what is the status," she questi

    KIARA POV"Are you sure about this information?" Damon asked. "Are you doubting me?" I asked back, teasing him a bit. The thing was the news was indeed shocking, I wasn't expecting it, neither would anyone here but it already happening. "Then what if they kill him, wouldn't it be easier for us," Alan asked. "The vampire are cunning creature, we have been at war and the only reason we haven't fought them is because none of have any leak information about our security strength they have mean, an opportunity to get it, do you think they would kill him off without tricking him at least to get it," I questioned."We don't know how long we have before they rage war and definitely we are short of well trained guards and definitely Wyatt will know their weak point, as well as their strong point. We might be needing a lot of our team to train and fight along with us," I analyze, looking at Alan for a response."An omega, isn't that an insult," a guard burst out, but when realizing he said it

    "Really," the new vampire king exclaimed, he had just been told of the current happenings in the Golden Mecha kingdom."Your majesty, are we going to attack," his officials asked. "No, not yet," he answered, leaning back on the throne."But then really soon," he assured. "If this said Wyatt hadn't escaped, we would have given them a surprise attack but this was different, their security system would be tight since they are still searching for him. "Increase the training, double the hours, tell my people that they shouldn't take it as stress, soon, we will have the werewolf under us," he announced as they all cheered. "Sir, a wolf has been spotted, trespassing," a guard had reported. "He claimed to be the son of the traitor that killed our late king," Another chipped in.."I say we kill him," the official suggested. "Cruelly, the way his father killed our late king," they demanded. "Enough," he yelled at them, with so much authorities, that they were left speechless and they had no

"Why are you doing this to me, I took care of you," he stated as I glared at him."You took care of me, you poisoned me, you killed my father, you killed my own mother because she didn't give in to you and you said you took care of me?" I questioned. "You think I don't know of your plans to dispose of me, just watch how I make you pay for every crime you ever committed," I told him."You will need to prove it first, or I might kill you through treason," he threatened as I smirked. Kiara looked pleased as she let me handle it, while regulating the security."Do you think I don't have proof against you?" I questioned, taking a look at Kiara, she got the message, releasing the next video through the official website and making sure everyone got the notification.People shifted their attention from me to their phone and the video started playing. Onyx was curious, getting his phone and watching it h

    DAMON/BRYCE POV.Currently, Kiara plans have been executed and the first half has started. The only surprising thing was that Onyx had come to us with blood on his shirt. I wondered who he had killed or what must have happened, funny enough he didn't want to hide it, he showed it boldly as he entered, not panicking.No one dared to ask him and I wasn't left out either. "Kiara, you are back and I heard you brought good news," Onyx said.."How?" He questioned and I watched Kiara explain herself. Her lies were simple, straight and so convincing that if she had not explained it to me, I would have been fooled too. FLASHBACK"Damon," her soft voice called. "We have to move everyone away. Currently, Alan is preparing a new hideout, we would need to move everything that could point back to us," she explained as her words confused me. "The first part of the plan is to get the royal soldiers to raid this place, the commotion would make the palace security lessened and we can sneak them in,"

    MEANWHILE.Onyx had returned to the dungeon, giving Roman time to think about it as Roman had asked. He had secretly been hoping that Roman would tell him, he knows it can't be Kiara, he wouldn't trust her so much to give her such a secret, so who was it? If Maya was still on Roman side then he would have been able to get it from her but things were different, he would need to get his answer directly. Roman laughed, he couldn't believe he felt Onyx pride. "I'm not going to tell you," he says, firmly. "I told you once, that if you drag me down, I won't go down alone," he went on. "You think I don't know what you intend to do?" Roman asked. "You will release me, yes I know but you will kill me. I want my life spared. So it's simple, I want to show you that I can totally bring you down," he boasted."What about you, don't you think her confession would affect yours?" Onyx asked. "It won't, because I had made sure she only make you the culprit, in her statement, she would be praising
