KYRA’S POV
It was exactly 9 pm.
It was the D-day. I was 18 today. The big 18 meant a lot to me. It meant freedom, and I would finally have my wolf. I couldn’t sit tight. I’d barely eaten all day out of excitement. I couldn’t wait for things to actually change for good. It would give me immense joy.
Having my wolf automatically meant having a mate. I hoped he wasn’t from the Blood Moon Pack. I hoped so because he would serve as my freedom from all this chaos. I would have a shot at happiness then.
I stepped out of my tiny room, and sneaked out of the pack house through the backdoor. The wind was brutal that night, and the moon was a piercing white. It was the full moon. I couldn’t help the smile that touched my face.
I was going to enjoy every bit of this. These people would not be able to mock me anymore after this night. I would be truly free. I’m positive that the moon goddess would help me as she has always done.
I ran through the back towards the hills. Alpha Hades had made us know that for us to be able to embrace our wolves, it was paramount to get to the hill while running. I was ready to do every single thing he said to get that wolf gene in me up and going.
Freeing my thoughts from every pain, and anguish I had felt in the past. I let my soul blend into the night, and I ran as fast as I could, skipping rocks and boulders till I got to the top of the hills. I went down on my knees, and waited.
Time seemed to stop, but my heart never lost its pace. I barely had any hold on time, and I simply waited for things to change.
It did not.
My eyes flickered open, and I stared at the bright moon. It was clearer than ever. But, still, no changes happened to my body. I should have changed now, what was going on? I was 18, I should turn. Come to think of it, I should have turned on my way here.
“What’s going on?” I whispered into the night.
There was no response, only the whistles of leaves as an answer. Why couldn’t anything work for me? I stayed there for a long time, and the longer I did, the more it became clear that I wouldn't be shifting into a wolf.
The pain of those realisations brought tears from my eyes. I was utterly useless. I didn’t know where I came from, and I also didn’t know what I would become. It seemed that I was meant to live like a slave for the Blood Moon Pack.
My knee brushed the earth as I struggled to rise to my feet. I was pretty sure I would be bruised by tomorrow, and it won’t be with pride of shifting into a wolf.
“Why couldn’t my life make a bit of sense sometimes? Why do I have to suffer this way? It wasn’t just fair,” I murmured into the dark.
Taking one last look at the moon, I walked away from the hill, and down the path leading to the pack house. I was coming here all over again like I hadn’t been excited minutes ago that I would be reclaiming my mate, and leaving this pack for good.
I wasn’t sure I was aware of anything until I was right in front of the pack house. I hadn’t gone through the back door. I could see the silhouette of Cindy and her friends as they talked about the night.
“I’m so sure that Blake is my mate,” she was saying.
I rolled my eyes at that. I secretly hoped that her dreams would be destroyed. She had made my life hell since I stepped foot in the Blood Moon Pack, so she didn’t deserve any form of happiness.
“I’m sure it’s a done deal,” one of them spoke up.
“I know, but I’m still slightly worried. It shouldn’t take this much time for me to find out these things,” Cindy whined.
Her friends laughed her anxiety off, while she pouted like one of those humans I saw on the billboard.
“Oh, you can’t wait to be the next Luna. But, on a serious note. You and Blake have been doing heavy petting under the sheets, it’s only natural that the goddess will make you his mate.” The same girl pointed out smartly.
Cindy jumped. “I would really love that a lot. I gave him the pride of a woman, and I’m not going to accept that he isn’t my mate,” she said.
One of the girls sighed dramatically, placing a hand on Cindy’s arm. “Ugh! Don’t say something stupid. In the whole of the Blood Moon Pack, we all know who belongs to him. And, that’s you…”
I gritted my teeth together. I have never seen more vain girls like these groups. I couldn’t stand listening to them whine about how Blake was supposedly Cindy’s. I had a more pressing issue to solve, and that’s curing my heartache.
I tiptoed towards the back and went in stealthily. I just needed peace. I needed to brawl and cry. But, as I stepped into the house, a force propelled me towards the corridor.
I didn’t get how my feet were moving without coordination. At first, I worried that I might actually turn here. That would be something, but then, I realized that wouldn’t be the case.
My nostrils flared up like they had a life of their own. I walked faster, sweat beading through my body. My nipple suddenly fell hard in awareness. I thought I might faint thanks to the multiple desires that were moving through my body in torrents, but I did not.
I rounded the corner, and I was immediately assaulted by the scent of coffee and pines. My lips moved before my brain could register what was going on.
“Mate!”
We said it as one, and at the same time, my heart sank, as I stared into the shocked face of my mate.

KYRA’S POVWe stared at each other for an awful amount of time. I almost thought that everything was coming to an end. My life was literally coming to an end. How could Blake be my mate?“Kyra?” He queried, stunned.I stared at him, at a loss on what to say. He said something under his breath. I watched him morosely as he looked around, like he wanted to be sure that no-one was at hair’s breadth.“Come with me,” he demanded.I swallowed. “Why should I come with you?”He gave me a look. “Because I said so. You have no room to talk to me that way. Do you understand?”I swallowed hard. “But, I’m your mate.”Blake looked heavenward. “I said, you should come with me,” he snapped.A shiver rocked through me. This wasn’t how I wanted my night to go. I had no idea what he would do to me.Was he going to accept me or not? I couldn’t help but look at his broad back as we walked through the corridor, and down the path leading to the garden.The moonlight was so bright as always. And, for a minut

KYRA’S POVI tried hard to sleep. I honestly did. But, it seemed like small pins were piercing through my heart in ways I couldn’t describe. Oh, moon goddess! What did I do to deserve this?I shot out of bed as quickly as I had gotten in. I had to talk to Blake again. I couldn’t just take all he said like that. It hurts so hard when he kisses someone else.If he didn’t want me, it would be best for him to reject me. I wasn’t so strong that I would bear this pain continuously. I grabbed one of my coats, and walked out of the room, repeatedly heating my heart in a bid to stop the pain I felt.The house was so quiet, save for the occasional sound of winds crashing through the trees. Maybe I should go back? No, it won’t be scary. Maybe that’s why I didn’t get my wolf due to my incessant fear. I will have to learn how to be bolder.With that thought in mind, I walked through the hall, and into the main suites. I was about to step outside, but the sounds of pure arousal greeted my ears.I m

KYRA'S POV In the darkness of the room, I sat and tears ran freely down my face. I didn't know which room I had run into because I was in a hurry to get out of sight.The broken pitcher was still out there and it was enough that they didn’t know how the pitcher broke or who was there. It would have been worse for me if they found out I was there.More tears flowed and my heart almost gave out. I tried much to control the sobs; I guess they were getting louder by the moment. I didn’t care if it gave out my location.After a long time of crying, I felt the weight lift from my chest and my sobbing subsided. It was while I was sniffing in the tears that were left that I noticed where I was.I had run into one of the store rooms. The moon was at its brightest as its rays poured through the window, on a large pile of wheat on the far side of the wall.Almost every other thing was in the dark. Many of the wheat was stored in bags but I didn’t know why the ones on the ground were left where

At first it was blurry, and then it became clear. The singing was still there. The face I saw had arching eyebrows and a serious look. The eyes were small and round like almonds, the skin was the color of a freshly powdered face. Then the singing stopped and the face came closer to mine, almost touching it. “She is awake now.” This person shouted to someone I was not seeing, someone who must be sitting away from me. I saw the hair, full, wavy and unrestrained. It had the color of leaves in the fall. My eyes looked around. There was the ceiling made of wood, and I tried to move my head but I couldn’t. It seemed to me it was stiff, held by some unseen factor. I made to get up but pain racked through my head like lightning; I fell backwards.“You had a concussion. You should rest. Or are you in a hurry to go somewhere?”I didn’t say a thing. She took her face away and continued singing. The song was piercing and sad and spoke of a long lost country, more like my story. I listened in qu

Kyra's POV My heart skipped a bit as I pondered on what was to be done. I knew I couldn't allow herself be found there by Blake, most especially and neither could I try to leave. I was stuck and had to come up with something as swiftly as possible. I wouldn't want to be used as a sacrificial lamb fur anyone. Just as I was still trying process what to do, the door to the room flung open, revealing both men with broad shoulders and heavily built chest. I felt my heart jump out of my heart and I knew I was done for. "Yes, and what are you looking for here?". Blake's thick and baritone voice seeped through to me, causing me to shiver but I managed to gather myself immediately. I straightened myself, cleared my throat and then began. "I was on my way to fetch some water when the jar fell and broke into pieces sir. I didn't mean to bother or disrupt your conversation sir," I muttered and hoped they would believe me. Well, they didn't have any Reason not to believe me. I mean, it was

Cindy's POVAs I raced out of the room to meet Blake, only one thought filled my mind and that was happiness. I felt so happy even though I had not the slightest idea what he wanted to talk about. I was hoping it was something interesting and not one that would dash my hopes, but from the looks on his face, I could tell that it wasn't something sad he was about bti share with me. Few seconds later, I was standing in front of him with a wide grin like a child who was given some candy. "You look so excited? Why?" He inquired, puffing my cheeks. I blushed at his pull and muttered some words in objection to it even though I loved it."You! You make me happy and the smile on your face tells me that I have to be happy, so what's the News? Go on and share it quickly,' I hastened him up as curiosity got the better of me. I fiddled with my palm, waiting for him to speak up. When he finally did, he cleared his throat and stared up at me."Would you like me to share something with you?""Yes,

BLAKE'S POVI was shocked at my father's word and couldn't hide it one bit. I also couldn't understand why he wanted me to him in search of her instead of sending out one of his commanders. "Does he perhaps suspect me? And why can't he just let her go. It would be so nice if she isn't here anymore." I said to myself with a sulking face than I'm sure he must have noticed."Alright dad. I'll do as you say," I mutter and dashed out of the room, dragging my feet as I went. I sighed, staring into oblivion. My head turned around in search of one of the commanders who were always in sight, wanting to see my father for one reason or the other but there were none. I was a bit disappointed. It was going to be a really stressful day ahead but there was nothing I could do. I couldn't go against my father's instructions. Luckily for me, I found two soldiers standing by the side of the building, gesticulating widely like that was the job they were appointed to carry out. I was pissed and Couldn't k

KYRA'S POV I turned my head backwards and was shocked to see a man standing in front of me like he was about to hurt me. Fear gripped me as my eyes drove through the height of him. "Who are you and what do you want from me?" I queried, stuttering uncontrollably like I had stuffed my mouth with something. He had a really frightful physique such that anyone who sees him immediately develops fright."I should be asking you that question, young lady? What are you doing here or haven't you heard that this place is always filled with rogues and all?" He asked with a sarcastic grin, smacking his lips at me. I shivered, trying to process the look on his face. It aligned not a bit with the words of his mouth."I'm heading to the pack just across the mountain," I muttered in a low whispering voice, my hand shaking uncontrollably. I was in fear and all my attempts to keep calm proved abortive. "You look so beautiful…You would serve a Great purpose to me. I heard someone warm me up. It's quite

CHAPTER 179RAHL'S POVIt was late at night and all was silent. I laid on my bed with my eyes to the ceiling as various thoughts ran through my mind. My eyes were filled with tears as I rolled around in search of Cindy. I had grown to love her and that a day without her felt like a nightmare to me but then I couldn't but punish her for betraying my trust and all. I wasn't one to be treated with leveity and this she knew but what she did do instead? She went on, acting like I wasn't of any importance to her. Tears gathered in my eyes and I made no attention of any such to prevent it from trickling down."Don't you think you should forgive her and continue like it never happened!" A voice said to me in a cool reserved manner and strangely, I began to see sense in it. I would have to go see her the next day. I was still speaking to myself when I Heard some loud noises from outside. It was weird for people to make so much noise at that time of the day. I had a strong feeling that all was

CHAPTER 178KYRA'S POVBlake and his men had just arrived at our pack , ready for the battle that was to take place soon. I was filled with uncertainty and couldn't get rid it it no matter how hard I tried. I wasn't worried about him or the fact that I was going to be seeing his face regularly. I was worried if we were going to win against Rahl. Rahl was really tricky and there was no way to tell exactly what he had in plans. True, we have the advantage of the human weapon on our side but what if he has them as well? That would be catastrophic as well. We only have a little supply of it to go round a few men so I knew what I was talking about. I was still lost in my thoughts when I heard the voice of Someone from behind. I turned and right there was Blake, his hands clasped to his side. I wasn't entirely pleased with the fact that he had come to meet me there but I wasn't going to ask him to leave as well. I had to stay there and listen to Whatever it was he had to say."And what both

I Wanted to speak, to yell and cry aloud but I couldn't dare to do that. The last time I did so was ten minutes ago and I regretted it badly. The echo had sent such great fear in me with my heart thumping heavily against my chest. I glanced around hoping those who had heard my loud yell would come to find out what the problem but I was wrong. There was no sign of anyone. It was appearant that they didn't give a damn as to what to what happened to me. My mind flashed to the past hour and how things had changed for me within a short while. I still couldn't understand how Rahl happened to find out all of these. "Damn it! Perhaps he went to report to Rahl! That good for nothing orderly!" I thought to

He Stared at me with disdain as if to ask what had suddenly come over me."And what sort of a question is that?" He snapped at once, a thick frown etched to the corners of his face. I lowered my gaze from him as ui wasn't ready for unnecessary talks."I only Wanted to be sure, that's all. I'm sorry if it didn't go well with you!* I quickly apologized,hoping it would end that way but I could only wish."You know you shouldn't be asking such questions. They sound dumb to the ears.

I couldn't risk taking a crucial action based on some lie. I squeezed my brows just to give me that evillish look and it did work. He was shivering in no time and looked like He was going to break anytime soon. "Yes sir, I am sure sir. Why do you think I would lie to you sir when I'm full aware of what you are going to me if you find ou I'm lying?" He said with quavering voice that I couldn't but agree with him.

I cleared my throat and twisted my lips into a funny posture."Why are you staring at me in this manner?" I asked in a cool and calm voice, my eyes blinking uncontrollably like it was being controlled by a switch. He was mute for a few seconds with his eyes fixedl wholly on me. I loved it at first but then it became elongated and I couldn't bear it anymore. "Aren't you going to say a word? Is there anything in my eyes?" I went on to ask, a bit confused as to why he was staring at me in such manner. That was the first time I had seen him with such look and it kinda made it worried.

I pleaded with great desperation but he wouldn't listen to me. With every second that went by, the fire grew closer to me and the iota of hope I had left in me was starting to fade off. The heat was dangerous and hell. I turned behind, hoping to somehow find a way to escape but it proved abortive."Someone please help me!" I yelled at the top of my voice and jerked up at once, panting like I just completed a marathon. It felt like my heart was going to blow from my chest at any moment. I sat upright, moving my eyes around, searching for the fire. It was all a dream. I heaved a sigh of relief as I tried to catch my breath. I could only imagine What would have happened to me if it wasn't a dream after all."Is this a kind of warning to me? Could Rahl decide to do this to me if he finds out the truth of

I wanted to do nothing but lay on my bed and sleep but then there were so many things that had to be done within a short while. I stood akimbo with my hands clasped to my waist and glared around while the peop worked with all their mights to make sure that they get the best out of the pack. I was still standing there when father Walked up to me with a weird look on his face. I found it rather weird that he had such expression and when he didn't speak at once, I wanted to ask him what the problem was but then I changed my mind against it and decided he should be the one to speak.

I was yet to understand why Rahl was suddenly creating a fuss over it. At the rate he was going, I was sure he wasn't going to spare me if he finds out the truth. He is going to kill me and wouldn't even spare a second to hear me out. That alone gave me goosebumps and I knew I had to think fast. I had to do what was to done at once. I sighed and then rose to my feet, pacing through the length and breadth of the room like one who was being troubled with demons. After a few seconds, I returned to the bed, sitting heavily on it like it had offended me before now. I drew the rope by the bed. It was one used as an alarm to call either of our orderlies. The moment I drew it,I heard a knock on the door and then a few seconds break before the doorknob turned, revealing my orderly who looked as serious as ever."It's time
