***Keira's POV****After narrating the story of my life to Abigail, she stared at me and at a loss for words. “Aunt Abigail, what's the matter? You make me feel like I should never have told you about this, you know.”“I'm sorry for my reaction, really. Please forgive me if I may have made you feel uncomfortable with the way I acted. Bit Keira, this is a lot. Are you sure that you're okay?”I nodded my head. “Yea, it's past anyway.”She shook her head and that made me heave a long, deep sigh. “It's not, Keira. You're still very much hurt. I'd be hurt as well if I were to be in your shoes. What you went through isn't what you should have gone through. You ought to be enjoying your life and your youth, not suffering this way.”The tears I was trying so hard came pouring out of my eyes, but I dabbed them away.“Even though I'm not okay with the way things ended, at this point I don't have a choice but to be okay for my peace of mind, don't you think?”“Of course, my dear. You owe no o
***Keira's POV***At the end of the day, I found myself in a restaurant, quite far away from the Pack. “So, this is where you wanted to come to?” I asked, still looking around the place with lack of interest. “Well, isn't the place warm and quiet?”I shook my head while staring at the dark. “Tell me, Dark. Why did you actually bring me here? I don't believe it's because you wanted me to bring you here because I could tell that you could have easily come here all on your own.”He looked at me for a few seconds, and then he shut his eyes and took a deep breath. “Yes, you're right. I brought you here for a reason, and it has nothing to do with me not being able to take myself out. To be honest, I've been here before now. And I thought to myself that when I next come here, I'll be coming with a lady I like.”The moment he said the words, I spilled the drink I was about to drink. “Oops! Did I scare you with what I just said”I stared at him, wide-eyed. “This is the most bizarre way o
***Keira's POV***The moment I got to the pack, I paced around Ergon's quarters. Now I'm not here because of my bet with Dark, but because he really needs to step up as the Alpha he is. Rather than playing all day. After waiting for some minutes, Ergon finally showed up. He seemed to be having a great discussion with a guy whom I recently just found out was the newly appointed Delta. The moment he saw me, his beautiful smile immediately vanished. I knew it. I was like some stale food that causes bad appetite for my siblings. “Rex, I'll see you soon. Excuse me for now.”Rex looked in my direction briefly before tearing his gaze away. “Okay, master Ergon.”Just as Rex left, Ergon walked briskly towards me. “What are you doing in my quarters?”“Hi, I wish to have a word with you.”“What? And what is this about?”Okay, I don't intend to beat around the bush, so I would just go straight to the point. “Well, it's about you, being the Alpha.”“What? How has that got to do with you?”“I
**Keira's POV***I marched towards the quarters of the pack members, not caring about anything about anyone at this point. The only thing I wanted to do was give justice to the kid who was bullied because he was weak. Just as I got to their quarters, I saw them gathering around. Good, this was precisely what I wanted. “Now that you're all here, I would like to have a word with the parents of the kid who dared to bully a Wolf less.”“You never should have brought them here. What were you expecting that we would fold our hands and watch the inferior and weak mingle with us?” A lady said, walking towards. Seeing her talk so boldly, I have no doubt that she was indeed the one I've been looking for. “So you're the kid's mom who supported your son to bully a weak child, am I wrong?“So what if I am? What do you intend to do? Beat me up, perhaps? You know you can't do that. You should be glad our Alpha is kind enough to give you a place to stay. So, if I were you, I wouldn't act so cocky
**Keira's POV***Why not play this by ear? If I plan this properly, then I will just find a way to stop this bullying once and for all. Though I have no idea whether it will become a success or not, I'm going to take my chances as it comes. “Yes, you said there's something I must know.”“Y…yes. Uhm, Dark here, wanted to uhm help me out by helping me become familiar with the pack members. And since I have to be schooled, I also wanted to get acquainted with my teachers. Isn't that so, Dark?”I asked, turning my gaze towards him with a smile on my face. Dark stared at me with a surprised expression, and quickly turned his gaze towards the Alpha. “Y…yes, Alpha. I wanted to show her around.”“That's so good of you. Taking the initiative even when I didn't ask you to. Alright, Keira. When you are done, please meet me in my office. I have something crucial I would like to discuss with you.”“Alright, Alpha. I'll be there as soon as I'm done.”“See you soon, my dear.”As soon as the Alpha
***Keira's POV***Getting into my dad's office, I noticed he wasn't on his chair but was rather walking around his bookshelf. “I'm so sorry for taking so long, dad. Had to attend to something very important, don't be offended, please.”“My goodness! Why will I be mad at you? You did me a great job all these while, and you still tried to help by pretending everything was okay in front of me when you're actually not happy.”“Huh? What are you talking about, dad?”“Before you noticed me, I already heard your angry tone. And when you pretended everything was okay in front of me, you gave me more reason to find out exactly what was going on. Keira, I'm so proud of you, and at the same time, I want to apologize for what they did to that young boy. If you want me to, I'll -”“No dad. This is the reason I would rather not let you know. I knew you were going to help. It is nice to know you would like to help, but this is the only way for me to finally get them to let the Wolf less be.”He nod
***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***“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
