***Drake's POV***I was in my office attending to the daily reports of revenue from my business when my secretary rushed into my office. “Alpha, your visitor is here?”“Pardon?” “Oh, I guess you must have forgotten so soon. Miss Ramona Reynold is here and she wishes to see you now.”“Ramona Reynold?” I whispered the words while trying to recall where I heard the name. Just then, it dawned on me that I actually spoke to her through the phone when she told me she was coming to my office.“Ramona, I remember now. Please send her in.”“Right away, Alpha boss.”Within a few minutes, the lady named Ramona walked into my office, with a smile on her face. “Nice to finally meet you, Mr. Drake, or should I say, Alpha Drake?”“You can call me whichever, it's totally fine with me. By the way, you're welcome to my company. I stretched out my hands for a handshake, which she quickly accepted in a rush. Looking at her, she reminds me of someone close, and it's none other than my mate. Immediatel
**Keira's POV***“Miss Keira, with these lessons I taught you, I hope you'll be able to remember every one of them. When we next meet, I hope you'll understand the things I've taught you.”“Yes, professor. I'll try my best to learn more about the things you've taught me.”As soon as the professor left the mini hall, I rolled my eyes and breathed a huge sigh of relief. That was one boring class. Well, I can't blame anyone now or can I. I brought this upon myself when I lied about having no education. Turns out I should have told the truth. I could tell that this might affect me in the future, especially if Drake was to come to the pack. For the love of the goddess, I wish he wouldn't come. I really do hope he'll change his mind. There's a possibility that when he finally makes a trip to the pack, he'll surely find out about me. For this reason, I've been trying my hardest to stay away from Pack activities. The only thing I've been doing with my wife lately was the boring lectures I
**Keira's POV***“Yes. It's for Abigail. She needs it so she could use it to make something different with what she already has going on.”Dark stared at me suspiciously. I have long expected for him to stare at me that way, but I'm not going to relent for anything. I was expecting questions from him. Dark just stared at me for a while without saying a word, which was quite mysterious for me. “Dark, are you okay?”“Y…yes, I'm okay. I apologize for the long silence. It's just that I'm wondering what could be made from what you were actually requesting for.”I rolled my eyes to the back of my head when I realized he was being nosy again.“Dark, whatever it is Abigail needs it for should never have anything to do with you. It's solely her choice to do whatever pleases her with it, as long as she's hurting no one. Dark, I really hope you'll mind your business this time.”“Actually, I know I was being nosy, but I just couldn't help it. I mean, what if something goes wrong and the Alpha f
**Alpha Drake's POV****Getting to the Blue Crystal Pack, I was stunned at how graceful and enchanting it looked. I had always heard about how magnificent the pack looked, but I've never, for once, seen it for myself. As soon as my brothers and I arrived at the pack compound, we all came down from our various cars. I noticed Alpha Reynold and his family all standing outside to welcome us. They all had a smile on their faces and for some reason, I felt so at peace, being here. If it were to be other packs I visited before now, my wolf would have given into full alert. But while in Reynold's pack, I don't feel the least worried. My wolf was rather calm and at my peace. This was strange. It can't be that I'm the only one feeling this way. I looked in the direction of my other brothers, and I noticed that they were all looking relaxed. They walked over to where I stood, while looking in the direction of the pack house, where the Alpha and his family stood awaiting us. “Brother, do y
**Alpha Drake's POV***My brothers and I stared at Reynold speechlessly after he narrated the whole story about his family. It was a tragic one. “Well, Alpha. I'm glad that despite all this, you finally found your daughter. Sorry, I'm about to deviate a bit from what we are discussing. The wolf less you mentioned, can we please take a look at them? You know the history of my pack and how I used to banish wolf less in the past.”“Yes, I'm well aware of that.”“You might not know this, but an incident occurred earlier that made me have a change of heart concerning the so long wolf less people. If you will, can I take a look at them? There might just be a few of my pack members among the ones you rescued.”Reynold stared at me with a smile on his face. “You know what, Alpha Drake? At first, I thought we would just be good business partners, but now, I think we'll become even closer than we ever were before now.”“I also think the same way.”“Why don't you come with me? I'd personally
***Keira's POV***I stayed in my room for a few hours. Aside from the fact that I was feeling terribly hungry at that moment, I was also curious to know whether they've gone or not. My wolf had been bugging me ever since I got the message of their arrival. I had been able to endure all the whining of my wolf. But deep down, it's not just my wolf who wishes to see them, but me as well. I wanted to take a peek at them at least, to know how they were. But that was a risky move. I dare not expose myself, lest I get myself in trouble. I got up from my bed since I was tired of laying down and walked over to the window. I gently pulled open the curtains and took a perk outside the freshness of the air outside, now making me desperate to go out. With my arms folded on my chest and my head leaning on the window pane, I looked outside the garden and at the building where Abigail and the others lived. Just then I felt the urge to go see them. Though Abigail had earlier visited me since Dar
**Keira's POV***After my little chit-chat with Dark, I felt a mixed feeling of relief and worry at the same time. The feeling of relief came from the fact that I was able to survive the coming of my mates without them finding out about me. But then, my worry comes from the fact that my dad extended the invitation of my welcome party to my mates. This was like a death sentence. How am I supposed to run away from my party without anyone suspecting me? It would have been easier if I could be allowed to stay in my room. The whole idea of the welcome party was to introduce me to his Alpha friends, that I'm well aware of. This was a looming disaster. I couldn't think straight since Dark broke the news to me. But then, there's something more urgent I needed to attend to. I hurried over to Abigail's quarters only to find her reading a book while sitting on an armchair outside the house. I creased my brow slightly. This was my first time seeing Abigail read a book. What the hell am I see
***Keira's POV***After narrating my whole story to Abigail, I was surprised when I saw her stare at me with eyes wide open and tears running from her eyes. “Mrs. Abigail, are you okay? Why are you crying?”“Child, why didn't you tell me this is what you went through. I'm a seer, but I can't see all of your pains. You should have told me about this before now. If only you had, I would never have let Drake and god brothers leave here feeling at peace. They did you wrong, for goddess’ sake!”I furrowed my brows at the words of Abigail. “Abigail, is there something I'm missing. The way you addressed Alpha Drake and his brothers would have made me believe you knew them personally.”Abigail heaved a long sigh and placed her hand in mine. “Child, if there's anything I truly believe in the goddess for, it is her way of doing things and bringing people together.“I still don't get you, what are you actually talking about. I wish to know.”“Alpha Drake, as you know, is someone I have known
***Keira's POV***“What are you going here? I asked, as so bad, I opened the door. I was still trying to pretend not to care, but then his smile immediately melted my heart that instant. The fact that he was actually innocent in all of this made me melt like ice.“No, no, no, Kendra. You can't fall for him like this,” I cautioned my wolf in my thoughts. “But I want you to fall for me.”I gasped in shock the moment he replied to what I said to my wolf. “Keira, you actually do have a wolf. I'm so happy. Now my wolf can relate to Kendra more. She refused us last night, just like you refused me.”I swallowed hard at his statement. I walked away from the door, and he quickly came in and shut the door. “You should place the tray on the table and leave,” I said with my back against him. I can't face him while rejecting him. “Why don't you look at me and tell me you want me to leave, truly?”Why is he trying to tempt me into saying things I don't want to in front of me? “Keira, I know y
***Drake's POV***Seeing her smile with tears trickling down her face only made me feel terribly guilty. I could clearly see the pain in her eyes. “Do I look like I'm okay to you?”She asked while looking at the three of us with a tear-filled gaze. “You know what, I don't ever want to see your faces in front of me ever again!”With that, she stormed out of the room, leaving us in a total speechless state.”“Brother, what do you think we should do now? She clearly hates us, and I don't think she'll give us another chance to explain things.”“At this point, I think we have to do it differently and not as a team.”“What do you mean, brother?” Ethan asked. “I think the only reason why she doesn't want to listen to us is because she detests all three of us telling her the same thing. I think we'll make progress if each of us approach her differently without dragging anyone into this.”“If that's the case, then I can as well kiss my mate goodbye.”“What do you mean?” I asked Ethan who a
***Keira's POV***“You know what. I don't ever want to see you in front of me ever again!”“Keira, that was all our fault, but that is where it all ended.”“What do you mean?” I asked Ethan who spoke up. “When we noticed you were banished Without our authorization, we went into the woods searching for you.”What does he mean I was banished without his authorization? “We couldn't find you, no matter how badly we searched the woods.”“Of course you can't find me because I was abducted by Arthur!”“Yes. And we found out this happened because Amanda and Elena both joined hands to set you up.”I shook my head. “That's not true. Amanda would never do such a thing to me. I'm sure you're just telling me this to get me to shift the blame from you.”“Keira, please calm down. I know we've wronged you terribly; hence there's nothing we would say now that would change your mind. However, you need to know the whole truth and why we couldn't save you,” Drake explained. “Why don't you show her th
***Keira's POV***As I entertained a conversation with the guests who wanted to know more about me, I couldn't help but take notice of Damson and Ethan, who hovered behind me like bodyguards. What's their problem? I don't see Drake with them. He probably must be having a private conversation with my dad, since dad talked about wanting to speak with him before now. I couldn't help but become curious about what they were talking about. It can't be that their conversation is about me. At this point, I don't care if my cover is blown, the ones to suffer for the backlash isn't me but them. For this reason, I didn't bother to worry about anything. After entertaining all the guests who wanted a conversation with me, I took a deep breath and turned around. They must not have been expecting it, judging from the way they both jolted backwards, startled. “Well, gentlemen, do you also wish to have a conversation with me?” I asked with my hands on my waist.“Yes, we,” they both took quick glan
**Alpha Drake's POV**“My goodness! Brother, did you see what happened just now? Keira actually walked away, pretending not to know us.” Ethan said. “It is to be expected, didn't you think of that?”“I did. But did you see how she was laughing and smiling with that guy?”“You mean, Reynold's beta?”“Isn't he too young to be the Alpha's Beta?” Damson asked. “I don't think he's too young, if that's what you're asking.” The old beta died a long time ago and his son, Dark, replaced him about 8 years ago. So we could say he became beta the moment he turned 18,” I explained to my brothers. “So why was he so close to Keira? It's barely a year since Keira came to the pack. Why is he all over her?”“Keep it down, Ethan. I know you're eager to find everything, but you must understand that our mission is not the beta, but our mate never forgets that.”“I know. But with her present reaction, isn't it obvious that she wants nothing to do with us?”I turned my gaze towards Ethan.“So what do yo
***Keira's POV**When I said the words, a feeling of sadness watched over me. I wouldn't be thinking about the part right now if those three musketeers aren't probably waiting for my return at the dinner table. “Miss Keira, why do you look so sad after saying those words?”“Dark, there are certain things you don't know about me.”“Of course, I don't know you that well. I only know the things you want me to see, you know. And if you'll let me, I wish to know you more, so I can actually understand you.”“You think you can understand me if I decided to tell you?”“But of course. I know you have a sad backstory. You don't need to say. Those times your mom… I'm sorry to bring her up.”“No, it's fine, you can continue with what you're saying.”“Alright. What I'm trying to say is that, those times when your mom abandoned you, it must have been hard to survive on your own. Being a female in the outside world without the protection of a pack must have been very Terrible.”“Yea, you're right.
***Keira's POV***“Well, well, well. Who do we have here if not the celebrant.”Here she goes again. It was better to leave rather than stay here to listen to her banter. Just as I walked past her and headed for the door, she cleared her throat. “You must have thought you've achieved something great since our dad decided to throw you a party. “Not today, Ramona, I'm not in the mood.”“Not in the mood? I think you'll be interested in what I'm about to say to you.”I shut my eyes at this moment. There's no way of getting rid of Ramona once she starts her tantrums. “What is so important that you wish to talk about?” I asked, turning around to face her with my hands folded on my chest.“Oh come on. Don't make it seem like you're actually the one trying to do me a favor by wanting to listen to what I have to say. Matter of fact, I'll be the one doing you a favor with what I'm about to say to you.”“Well, since that's the case, I would really like to hear what you have to say.”“Your dr
***Keira's POV***This was indeed the most beautiful day in my entire existence. I thought I was going to mess things up. I feared I would be looked at with scorn. Even though I might get stoned for being wolf-less once, and associating with them.What was I thinking? Thinking they could do that to me at my party is as good as making myself believe that my dad isn't capable of protecting me. Even though they had such bitterness in their hearts, they wouldn't be able to show it because the Alpha will surely not let them bully me or do anything to hurt me. When I finally got down the stairs, my dad was the first to stretch his hands towards me. I quickly took his hands and he led me down towards the guests. He introduced me to all his friends and business partners. I was over the moon at this moment. I never thought that this would be possible. “Alpha Reynold, indeed you have beautiful daughters I must say. Your eldest daughter is such a beauty. I can't count how many men present gu
**Alpha Drake's POV***Ever since we left the Blue Crystal pack, I've been having the thought that there's something missing which I did not get to see while I was at the pack. No matter how hard I think about it, I just can't wrap my head around what it is, to be honest. I just have the feeling that there's something I'm missing. To make things worse, my brothers also felt the same way. Which was why we all agreed that we must attend the party of Alpha Reynolds's daughter and then use the opportunity to find out what it is we actually missed. When they finally arrived, I was surprised that Damson and Ethan were the first to call me and inform me about the invitation to the Blue crystal pack. We all had the same feeling that there's something we were missing. While on our way to the pack, I couldn't help but wonder what it was. I'll find out what time it is. The last time I went there, I was shocked to see one of my socks members who was banished there. I felt guilty, even thoug
