**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***I just don't understand why she seemed to hate me this much. If I had somehow offended her in the past, that would have been better because that means I have had my fair share of apologizing to her. But presently, it was nothing of the sort. She must hate the very ground I walk on for no good reason. She folded her hands on her chest as she walked over to meet me. Getting close to me, she paused and eyed me, as I was about walking past her. “And where do you think you're going?” I paused and shut my eyes to take a deep breath. This isn't what I want to encounter at this point. I wish she would understand. “Ramona, I don't think where I'm actually going to have anything to do with you.”“Oh, really? It doesn't, huh? I just saw you going in the direction of my father's office. Don't tell me you're going to give him excuses about why you couldn't attend the gathering yesterday. You knew we had strangers coming home, yet you dared to be absent.”“Wow! I never knew you
***Keira's POV***“But honey. If there's anything you wish to discuss, I think you should discuss with your mom around, and yo-”“It's alright. I'll give you both space. We can always talk some other time,” she quickly stood up from the chair and when she walked close to where I was standing, she suddenly paused. “I'm glad you're feeling better now, truly,” she uttered before leaving the room.The moment the door was shut behind us, I breathed a huge sigh of relief. I opened my eyes slowly, only to be met with my dad's curious gaze. Immediately, I walked over to meet him. “Dad, I'm sorry once again for missing yesterday's activity. Though I wish to discuss something else with you.”“Sure, go ahead. You know you can always talk to me.”“It's about the party you're about to throw for me. Will you be inviting many guests?”“But of course. Why do you ask, though?”“Uhm, I wanted to know, so I'll be aware on what to prepare for and when to start making my preparations.”“Huh? You don'
**Alpha Reynold's POV***Emilia shivered as she paced from one end of the room to the next. “Emilia, can you stop pacing around?”“How can I? What if she doesn't like the dress, or she finds out it was me?”“That would be a good thing then. Your taste is as good as her taste. She might not line you now, but the fact remains that her taste for things is no different from yours. The things she likes are the same things you like as well. For this reason, I'm more than sure that she would like the dress. Emilia shut her eyes and took a deep breath. Actually, you don't have to tell me all this to make me feel better. It would be unwise to let her know who the dress is from. If she finds out that it's from me, I can put it to you that she'll automatically reject the dress whether she's won it or not. “Goodness! Alright, it's better she doesn't find out it was from you. The only reason I wanted you to her the dress because I wanted you to seize every opportunity you can get to make your
**Keira's POV**It was finally the D-Day that I had been anticipating for. At this moment, I had two kinds of feelings in my heart. And that is both excitement and worry. I'm excited because I believe after today, my life will change for the better. But then, I'm worried because I don't know what will happen during the party. When my mates arrive, they'll surely find me. Suddenly, the feeling of fear made me grab onto the bottle of mate bond hiding perfume. Can I just spray this on me and never bother about confronting them? This way, it would save me a lot of stress. Though I may look familiar in their eyes, I can always blame them for not being the person they are looking for. Just as I held on to the bottle with my eyes closed, I heard a knock on the door. I didn't answer, and neither did I open my eyes. I heard the door push open, but still maintained my position. “Goodness, Keira, what are you doing with that bottle!”I quickly opened my eyes and when I realized that it was
***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
