Kiara:
It was the next morning when Nathan, Elijah, Ashton, Sebastian, and the other pack members were back.
I ran to Nathan’s arms and hugged him, wrapping my arms around his neck while he wrapped his around my waist pulling me closer to him, it was like there was a weight thrown on his shoulders which he wanted to get rid of, I could feel it, his wolf growling then whimpering, then going back to growling again.
“What happened?” I asked Nathan pulling away, my finger running over his scruff, he took my hand in his and brought it to his lips softly kissing my palm, his chest rising an falling and he coughed a few times, everyone came back looking exhausted, most were coughing, others were shifting back to human inside their houses and coming back wearing only pants and no shirts as if they were waiting for Nathan to say something.
“The kings are the cause of the fire, they looked us in the eye when we found out that it was them, al
Nathan:“What do you think would happen if I took you and Lilian, and we just left all this?” I asked when I felt my mate enter the bedroom, Lilian was laying on our bed fast asleep while I watched her, my back facing the door.Kiara didn’t answer, instead she walked toward me and sat behind me, gently wrapping her arms around me and kissing between my shoulder blades knowing that it calmed me whenever she did so.“We can start over, live happy, give Lilian and our future children the stable environment that they deserve, this isn’t me Kia, I can’t keep up with everything that is happening” I said to my mate who was softly massaging my back, she was yet to speak as she listened to me “I don’t know what to do, and that scares me, the thought that I could lose you two scares me, what these kings are capable of scares me, how remorseless they became, who they are now scares the hell out of me, I don’t want
Nathan:“What are we going to do about the kings?” Elijah asked as we sat in the living room of my and Kiara’s house, we had tended to the people’s needs and sent the reinforcements they needed for the next few days until we managed to at least get something built, Daniel went to check if any of the houses had survived the fire or if there was anyone trapped in one of them needing saving or helping, sadly, the houses were all burnt to the ground and anyone who did NOT manage to escape, ended up dead.“We have to fight them back, it’s not like we have another option, they have made it clear that they WANT us to fight them” Sebastian said looking at Elijah.“Exactly, they want us fighting them, the best option is not to” Ashton said looking at us, all of us frowned at the prince whose blue eyes looked at us, clearly expecting us to object or be surprised at his statement “the most logical thing is to igno
Kiara:“Sebastian…” I called softly following the vampire prince outside of the house, he stopped his tracks and turned to face me, his eyes avoiding mine “do you want to go for a little walk?”“Nathan?” Sebastian asked raising an eyebrow not wanting to get into an argument with my mate over something as stupid as me being with him, although Nathan wouldn’t really argue with him.“He knows” I said softly, his eyes met mine and he nodded, I smiled and looped our arms walking around in the forest, it was true, Nathan was somewhat jealous of me being alone with other lads, I couldn’t blame him, I was just as jealous when it came to girls being around him, especially when they began flirting, the clench I felt was unbearable at times, especially since his mother would send new girls to the castle every once and a while, all of them to ‘please the prince’ as she claimed that one girl &lsqu
Nathan:I wrapped my arms around my mate’s waist holding her as she lost conscious, the river flow was back to normal but she had exerted her own body trying to use as much as power as she could, and the fact that she did it for me made my heart skip a beat.Her heartbeat was racing as her chest rose and fell in my arms, her head laying on my shoulder as she slept, her body weakening as she slept, I wrapped her arm around my neck and her other was on her stomach.“You did good baby girl” I whispered to her knowing that she was listening to me despite being out of it, I walked us back to the packhouse, Elijah was the first to see us and his eyes widened when he saw Kiara out conscious.“She returned the flow of the river” I said looking at Elijah and Ashton who were looking between Kiara and I, their eyes wide in worry, I understood their worry, the energy that Kiara needed to put was the most she’s ever pulled.&
Kiara:“Exactly love, you need to pull the string, stabilize your arrow, back straight, eye on target, deep breath, then shoot” I instructed the woman who I was training, my hand on her waist as I stabilized her stance making sure that she stood straight, most of these women have never even touched a weapon before, but they showed a lot of progress in the few weeks they’ve been training on with us.“I hit the target!” The woman said excitedly, turning around to face me and almost hitting me with her bow, I laughed and took a step back as not to get hit before shaking my head at her making her blush “I apologize princess”“Don’t worry about it darling, now I want you to do the same thing with these three arrows, this time it will be without my help” I said looking at the woman who nodded, kneeling down and taking one bow after the other to practice her shooting, she hit the target with two arrows and mis
Nathan:“Sebastian, have you heard anything from Celine?” I asked the vampire prince who shook his head, it’s true that we have exiled her, I, have exiled her, but the fact that she’s suddenly gone missing, no one has heard of her, none of us knows where she is, is worrying me.Sebastian, Elijah, Ashton, and I have been trying to track her down for weeks, to at least know that she’s safe, but there’s literally no sign of her, and at first I didn’t care about it, but I then realized that she has nowhere to go, we are at war against the kings and queens, and her parents are included, she has two options, either going to them and telling them what we are planning, which worried me, if the kings knew what we were planning then they’d be preparing themselves, and as a result of anger and revenge, Celine might just do it, or she might be hiding somewhere in fear that her parents might kill her, which was not something I expecte
Kiara:“Hello baby girl” I laughed hugging my little daughter, she giggled and pulled on my brown curls putting them in her mouth, a new habit she’s grown to have whenever she saw my hair loose over my back, I smiled and pulled her hand away from my hair before kissing her hand softly, Lilian laughed and tried putting her hand in my mouth making me giggle and move my head to the side before tackling her with a bunch of kisses making her giggle.“Looks like you’re going to be eating Lilian’s hand today” Nathan said from the door making me look at him, he stood leaning against the doorframe, his arms crossed over his chest, I was still pissed at him after last night’s conversation, he knew it, despite me not really reacting, I knew that he was doing the right thing and that I was the one being jealous, but the girl loved him, she was a threat to me when it came to him, and I know that I sound like some desperate child, but
Nathan:“This is impossible, where the hell could a girl just disappear to, even the spies can’t seem to find a trace of her” Elijah said sounding annoyed, it has been a week since we’ve been looking for her, we’ve literally searched everywhere for her.“I don’t care, find her, dead or alive, I want her body if she’s dead” I said looking at the guards who were out searching for her, they just came back to inform us that they haven’t found a trace of her yet, we were all in the throne room, even Kiara, Nina, and Grace started getting worried.“Where would the girl go? She has nowhere to go to, at least not that I know of” Sebastian said running his fingers through his hair in frustration, I shook my leg looking at the man who was frustrated looking for his wife, I even searched everywhere I could think of, everywhere we used to go to as a couple, she was nowhere to be found.“Was
