***Keira's POV***I woke up feeling all weak. It was as if I did some sort of laborious work, owing to how my body ached terribly. Why do I feel so sore? This is so unlike me. I tried to get up from the bed I laid on, but my back aches even more. I slowly opened my eyes but noticed the room was poorly lit. Moreover, my head ached badly. I never turn off the light before going to bed, so how come the room looks dim? I tried to get up from the bed to turn on the light, but getting up was rather a luxury. I fell back down and rolled to my side. Just then, I froze when I noticed someone was on the bed with me. Who could it be, Drake? Damson or Ethan?Why don't I perceive any of their scent?Just as I was about to touch the figure on my bed, the door to the room Suddenly flew open and the light to the room was immediately turned on. I jolted on my bed and looked in the direction of the bed, wondering who the hell dated to barge in. The moment I looked at the door, in front of me, Dra
***Elena's POV**“Well, well, well. I must say you did a good job this time, Elena. So what's it going to be? Will you be going over?”“I don't know. Why don't you tell me, since you were the one who brought up this suggestion.”“Well, if you ask me, I can assure you that Kiera is in big trouble now and as it is, you're the only one who can save her from this problem she found herself in. However, knowing someone like Drake and his brothers. You'll be on their radar now. And if you refuse to go, you'll be surely welcomed into their suspect list. And trust me when I say they'll never let you go.”“So, what are you trying to say to me in essence?”“All I'm trying to say is that you should attend to your friend. You're smart, I know you'll surely come up with something to save your skin.”“What if I can't save my skin and I get caught?”“Trust me, you won't. You weren't there when it happened. You think I sent you to that hotel, so you'll get found out? Trust me, we are in this together
****Keira's POV***It's been a week since the incident, and I was entirely ignored by my mates. Fred was tortured daily and there's no news about who sent him. According to what I was told, he kept saying that he was innocent and didn't do anything wrong. To be honest, I also think he didn't do anything wrong. Not that I trust him completely, but Fred isn't that stupid. It took him years to finally confess his feelings for me. Why will he lose his composure now after he's been threatened never to see me again? I strongly believe that something is amiss somewhere, but I can't really tell what exactly is amiss. While I was worrying over Fred, Drake suddenly walked into the room. Happily, I stood up from the chair to welcome him. “Welcome, love, I missed you,” I wrapped my hands around him and expected him to either kiss me or hold me like he used to, but he never did.I slowly took my hands off him and moved backwards a little. I thought he would say a word at least buy the moment
***Keira's POV***I walked out of Ethan's office, and he didn't even bother to come after me. What was I thinking? I chuckled at myself as I walked into the car. This was messed up, and I feel like I'm dreaming about all that happened a while ago. Next, I went to Damsons office. While on my way, I silently prayed for things to go smoothly. I hoped and prayed that things wouldn't go as bad as it did with Ethan. I don't think I can bear these heartbreaks the same day. It would kill me if I had to go through it again. I arrived at Damson's working environment some minutes later. I walked over to the direction of the reception, just like I did at Ethan's office. “Miss Keira, you're here. How can I help you?” Damson's secretary asked. “I wish to see your boss.”“Huh? Didn't the boss inform you?”“Inform me about what? I asked, wide-eyed.“The boss traveled two weeks ago, and he wouldn't be back until the end of the year.”Instantly, I staggered backwards. The pain in my heart got eve
***Keira's POV***I quickly picked up my step as I didn't want her to see me in tears. But I wasn't that fortunate, as Amanda quickly came in front of me. “Oh girl! Look how messed up you look. Even your terrible makeup is smeared.”I know nothing good will come out from Amanda's lips. “Listen, I'm not ready to have a fight with you, just let me leave quietly.”“Let you leave? Are you kidding me right now? What were you thinking? That you can go to bed with just any man and Alpha Drake would take you back in with arms wide open? I raised an instant brow at Amanda, surprised at what she had just said. “What are you talking about?”“Oh, please don't try to feign innocence with me. Everyone knows what a slut you are.”“What?”“Well, all thanks to Alpha Drake's investigations, your story is all over the place. He must have been terribly ashamed of the woman he called his mate. I had known from the very beginning that you were trouble. You are not fit for the Alpha not to talk about be
***Keira's POV***I breathed heavily in fear. Everyone said things that weren't true. “How dare a wolf less wolf be among us? This is a shame to our great pack and Alpha,” someone among the crowd. “Test her already!” A group screamed among the crowd. I was done for. My heart raced fast, and my knees buckled in fear. I also felt sick at the out of my stomach. I heard those who were caught were either banished or killed. I looked among the crowd, hoping I could find Drake or Ethan. They promised to save me. They promised to help me so no one could hurt me. What will happen to me now? Death or banishment? I was confused and weak. I wish I knew what awaited me at this point. “You heard the crowd. Now we want to see you shift into your wolf. Prove to everyone that you are one of us. Prove to the news articles spreading around and tarnishing the image of our great pack, they are mistaken. We all intend to see your transformation now!”“Yes! Prove to everyone that you are truly one of
***Arthur's POV***I traced my fingers on her skin as she laid in my arms. “What do you think is happening now, Alpha?”“I wouldn't know. But if I had to guess now, I'm sure she would have been chased away from the pack.”“Huh? Are the pack members that Cruel?”“You must not know this, but throughout all the packs, Drake's pack hates the wolf less the most. Though I've heard some time ago that there are packs who do not send their wolf less away, but I haven't seen any yet.”“If this is the case, doesn't this mean she would be banished like the others?”“Well, there are two options. She would either be banished or killed.”“What?” Elena quickly scrambled up from the bed. Killing her was not part of the plan. Why should she be killed?”“You worry too much. She won't be killed. Considering the fact that she's their Alpha's mate, I'm sure she wouldn't be killed. By the way, my men should be waiting in the woods.”“I don't understand. Why are they waiting in the woods?”“They ought to w
***Alpha Drake's POV***I feel terribly sad that I had to send Keira home harshly yesterday. What is wrong with me? Why didn't I believe her? Though we still can't find the real evidence about what really happened, if there's one thing I know I should have given to her. It was my trust. Ethan called me last night and told me about what he did and how she caught him with a worker in his company. Now I understand why her eyes were puffy yesterday when she came to my office yesterday. Furthermore, I asked Damson if she had come to see him, but Damson told me that he had to leave the country for a business meeting and wouldn't be coming back until the year comes to an end. Moreover, he told me he was informed by his secretary that Keira came looking for him, but they told her exactly what he had told me. With all this that happened yesterday, I was so certain that she must have felt terribly hurt. It isn't her fault that she got drunk. Now that I think about it, I came to an understand
