*****Keira's POV****I shivered frightfully as the loud growl-like sound of my boss echoed in the room. “How long! Just how long do you plan to be useless in my company? You think I run a charity home with my company?!” He thundered, making my lips quiver with fear. “I… I'm sorry, boss,”“Sorry? I would rather not hear your stupid apology. That is what you've been saying for six months now.”I stared down nervously. I could see the staff in the company all staring at my boss's office since it was a transparent glass.I wish I knew what to do at this very moment. I wish there was something I could say at this moment. “You know what, Keira, I don't think you are fit to work in my company anymore. I want you gone! Never show your face in front of me again!”At the mention of that, I quickly fell on my knees, shakily, with tears in my eyes. “Please, Boss Jake, do not lay me off, I beg you,” I pleaded while staring up at him.Boss Jake took his gaze down at me, I could see anger writte
*****Drake's POV****I roamed my eyes across the bar and back. Okay, now I must say I hate being here without these imps. I shouldn't have agreed to meet at the bar in the first place.“Hello, Drake, may I join you?” A lady with brown-coloured hair and hazel eyes appeared in front of me. She had the darkest shade of red lipstick on her lips, which almost made me nauseous. I still don't know why I don't see such women as attractive. Though she had a nice body, well curved hips and perfectly shaped legs, I still don't find her attractive.I poured myself another glass of wine while looking around the bar, hoping to find my brothers.“Alpha Drake, don't be like this. When will you stop avoiding me? Huh?”“Don't call me Alpha.”“Oops, I'm sorry. I almost forgot you don't like being referred to as Alpha outside the pack."I didn't bother giving her a reply. All women want a piece of me, there's no doubt.Just as she was about to say another word, I smelled them around. Thanks to the godde
**Keira's POV***“Come on, Keira, don't be a bore. You are not a nerd, you know.”“No way, I'm not feeling it,” I replied. “Come on, how do you expect to get lucky if you don't relieve your stress? Do you think straight?” I rolled my eyes. “Not interested in that. Besides, there's nothing that's going to help me achieve the task given to me.*Elena paused for a moment before she spoke again.“What if we go out and meet some people who can give us more info on this Drake guy? If you really want to succeed with this mission, then you have to be open to strangers.” I thought about it for a moment and replied, “Alright, let's go then.” She smiled brightly. I knew Elena just wanted an excuse to go clubbing anyway, but what she said made sense. This would be a great opportunity for me to get some stress out of my head. Also, maybe I might be lucky to find out more about Drake, even though I wasn't sure I was going to succeed. Let me give myself the benefit of the doubt. We arrived at t
***"Keira's POV****I woke up with a banging head. I winced in pain as I stood up from the bed.“Ouch!” Why do I feel so sore all over? I opened my eyes gradually, only to find myself in my room and on my bed.Wait a moment, how on earth did I get to my bed? What could have happened to me last night?Just then, I recalled what actually happened to me.I got drunk, but pretended not to be, and then I got myself into the restroom to ease myself and then… I trailed off when I recalled the seductive voice in my head.Suddenly, I burned underneath. Fuck! What's happening to me? What is this feeling all about?There's no way such a thing happened last night. I quickly hopped down from my bed and headed to Elena's in a hurry.“Hey, you're awake!” Elena said, dabbing her hair dry with a towel.“Uhm, Elena, did I…uhm.”“You mean, did you get drunk last night?” My heart skipped at Elena's question.“Did I really get drunk last night?” I asked, just to be sure.“Girl, if I had known you couldn't
****Drake's POV****I have been restless ever since last night and so were my brothers. Everything still seemed strange to me. I know I might find my mate later in life, but I never would have imagined that I would find my mate in that club, and not only that, my mate had turned out to be an ordinary omega. This was odd. What is the moon goddess up to? To worsen it, my brothers were not spared from this mate bond. I can't believe my brothers and I all share the same mate. Just what kind of fate is this? Was this the reason none of us were able to find our mates?“What do you think we should do about this, brother? I mean, we all know she's a reporter,” Damson asked. I took a quick glance at my immediate younger brother. I could see how restless he was. Though Damson was a flirt, he had never been someone who cared so much about a woman. “I don't know, Damson, I'm as confused as you are.”“Do you think she saw the message I sent to her?” Ethan asked, worriedly. I could see the conce
*****Keira's POV**** I heard a loud knock on my door, but I was just too lazy to get to the door. I shut my eyes tightly and heaved a long sigh. I still don't understand what really happened. I wish I could explain to myself what really happened, but everything seemed like a dream.“Keira, are you okay? It's almost 8:am. Aren't you turning in for work today?” I opened my eyes sharply the moment I heard what the time was. I lazily forced myself out of bed and walked over to the door. Furthermore, I slowly opened the door and saw Elena standing in front of the door worriedly.“Holy shit! What happened to you?!”“Huh? What do you mean?” Elena stared at me weirdly.“Did you look in the mirror this morning?”“No, I didn't. What's wrong?”“No wonder! Now I understand why,” Elena whispered, still staring at me like I'd suddenly grown a bear. I quickly took my hands to my chin, but it was as smooth as it used to be.“What's wrong with my face? Why do you look so scared?” I asked. “Beca
*****Kiera's POV*****# Flashback #Today will be great. Though I still don't know who the person was, I'm so grateful for the information he gave me. I put on a short red party gown. I style my long blonde hair just like Rose in Titanic. Not that I'm rich, not to attend the party of a celebrity, I think I need to dress like those rich people. I had to look like I fit in their class.I smiled at the mirror and gave my reflection a thumbs up, after being satisfied with my outfit. I was so beautiful. Who wouldn't fall for me?I peered at the time on my wristwatch, and it was 5:30 in the evening.The red carpet would start at 6:pm and then the birthday party would kick off at 7:pm. I just can't wait to attend the party. I'm not concerned about the red carpet, since I'm not a celebrity. Moreover, I'm very positive that the celebrant wouldn't be showing up until it was 7:pm. But I am really keen on attending the party. I smirked at my perfect calculation. I needed to go earlier, so I coul
***Keira's POV***I was seated in my office chair when my phone buzzed, I quickly took out my phone from my trouser's pocket to see who the message was from. Just then, a strange number popped up on my screen with text written. “Have you decided yet, pretty girl?” I read the message over and over again. Pretty girl? The name just sounds suspicious. I blinked at the text message which I saw. There was only one person who called me by that name, and it was undoubtedly one of the Drakes. How on earth did he get my number? And why the hell does he want to know my house address? Shit! I must not let them know where I live. I quickly texted the number through which I got the text. “I'm at work. Tell me your address, I'll meet you there.”Just then, I got another message instantly. Message: Okay, that's nice, I'll send you the address.**********I drove down to the mall, which he described through a text to me. Honestly, I wasn't feeling myself at all. At that very moment, I kept wond
***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
