*****Drake's POV***I could sense fear in her eyes and this only got me really annoyed. Who the fuck could be so stupid as to tell her that we are mates? I'm heard mated to anyone except her, who the fuck is it?I waited patiently for her, as she seemed to be quite skeptical about telling me who it was. “Keira?” She stared at me in a jolt like I had made her snap out of her thoughts. “It's a lady named Amanda. I suppose you know who she is.”“Amanda? The woman you are talking about is Amanda?” I asked, just to be certain I heard her correctly. “Yes, it's a lady named Amanda. Please, Mr. Drake, I know I shouldn't have told you about her because she made me promise not to tell you. I'm not someone who could actually lie about things. And all I've been trying to do all these while was to avoid you, so I wouldn't have to tell you the truth.”“But did you know that the reason you've been avoiding me is nothing but a cooked up lie?”“Huh? What do you mean?”She asked curiously. “Indeed,
****Keira's POV***“Mph,” I moaned into his mouth as he continued to kiss and suck my lips and tongue like he's been starved for years. After some minutes of passionate kisses, I suddenly regained myself enough to force the kiss to come to an abrupt stop. “Keira, why?” He asked. His voice became so raspy and staring into his eyes, they were as dark as night itself. “Mr. Drake, don't you think we're going too far about this? I mean, I'm only a reporter, but we are fast losing ourselves to pleasure.”“But this is right. Do you feel wrong about what we are about to do? Do you want me to stop?” Do I really want him to stop? I know I do not want- I was snapped out of my thoughts when he suddenly attacked my neck and began planting soft kisses on my neck. This made me shudder chat I instantly have in to him. “You want me, Keira. Just as I want you, too.”There's no denying that I wanted him. Maybe I should just let myself have some momentary pleasure. This time, I placed my hands on hi
***Drake's POV***“Brother, you asked to see us?”“Yes, I want to discuss something very important with you all, and hence the reason I want you all here.”My brothers both creased their brow while staring at me strangely. And I presume it is because I rarely call them together unless it was for something really important. “What is it, brother? Are our enemies planning to fight against us again?” Damson asked confusedly. “Not at all,” I replied. “If it's not our enemies…could it perhaps have anything to do with our mate?”I raised a brow at Ethan. He's so accurate. I bet he's been thinking of Keira all these while.“Well, you're right. It's about our mate.”They all lit up in excitement. This isn't what I expected from them, but then, they have every reason to be happy. “Oh, now we remember the three months we gave are almost coming to an end,” Damson said, his expression was that of excitement. “Well, that's true, but then I think our mate might get in danger this way.”“What do
****Keira's POV****When Drake had left, I kept thinking about what he had said. I don't even know what to think anymore. If I should really give him my leave, doesn't this mean I'll be spending more time with him? And if that's the case, it's as good as having an affair. But for how long is this supposed to last for? I know it wouldn't last forever. If he doesn't abandon me after all, the attraction he had for me has faded. He'll surely abandon me the moment he finds out that I'm wolf less. This is a curse I've carried over the years and tried my best to hide. This is also the reason I can't lose myself to pleasure because that pleasure is bound to end the moment I'm found out. I'm supposed to be an outcast, someone who should only mingle with the wolf less, just like me. But then I've always been a girl who refused to be subjected to my situation, and so far, I've been able to pull through all these years. And this is more reason I have to be careful around those in my circle. ~
*****Arthur's POV***“What are you talking about, Amanda?”“You heard me right. Drake has finally shown interest in a woman.”“In a woman? That's impossible. We both know Drake isn't into a woman.”“That's what I thought, too, brother. But to know that he's into a woman who isn't even me makes me so annoyed.”“Wait a minute, we know he doesn't have the least likeness for women, but if you're telling me he's finally shown interest in one, doesn't this mean he might have finally found his mate? I mean, that's the only reason why he would show such interest in her.”“I don't think so, brother. She's not worthy of being his mate.”My brother raised a brow at my comment. “She's not worthy of a mate? Sister, you talk as if you've come across this lady before now.”“Well, let's say I have. Spike to her, even.”“Wait a minute, you spoke to her? May I know why?”“That's because I wanted to know what kind of girl she was so that she could catch Drake's fancies just like that.”“And what do you
****Keira's POV****The next day, since I already had my things packed up, the moment I heard the car alarm I quickly rushed out and was surprised when I noticed that it was Mr. Drake's car. Good thing I've been waiting patiently. Elena isn't home, so she wouldn't be able to see me off. Well, since it's just for a month, it's okay. Not like I'm leaving for good or something. I dragged my luggage out of the apartment with me. Since I'll be fine for a while, I quickly locked the door. Good thing Elena and I both have spare keys to the room, so it would be easier for her to get in even when I'm gone. After locking up the door, I turned around and was shocked to see Mr. Drake behind me. “Oh goodness! You scared the shit out of me.”“Huh? Did I really scare you?” He asked with a deep voice that almost sent me going weak on the knee. I'm done for. How could I be affected by his voice alone? What is this feeling all about? It's quite scary, I must say. “So…shall we?” He asked, while st
***Ethan's POV***Having our mate here was just like a dream come True. I've hungered and thirst for her ever since Drake said she'll be coming to the mansion. Now that she's finally here, I could hardly contain myself. I took a quick glance at Damson, whose eyes were slowly becoming dark. It seems he was feeling the same way I was. Our wolves are dying to have her already, and I wonder if she's up for this. I took her by the hands and showed her around the house, with Damson behind her. “Wow….this is beautiful, I must say.”Listening to her gasp and how she admired the mansion gave me all the happy feelings I ever needed. I'm so glad she's finally here. After touring some more, we finally got back into the mansion. “Uhm, Keira, now that we've taken you around the mansion, I hope you're satisfied with the view?” Damson asked, looking all happy. “Don't even say. This is the best view I've ever seen in ages. You have no idea just how happy I am right now. Mind if I take pictures n
*****Keira's POV***As soon as Damson left my room, I shut the door immediately and ran towards the bed. “Shit!” I screamed. How stupid could I have been? I can't believe I made a complete fool out of myself. I was so stupid, I just said. Well, it's not my fault if it were to be properly looked at. I only reacted that way because I haven't really had dinner with the rich. But from what I heard, the rich have a peculiar way with which they eat. I should have thought about it before I responded to them. Not that I was feeling too low about myself when I was with them. It's just that I never expected they would ask me such a question at that point. The fact that I looked totally off was what made me feel embarrassed about myself. And to worsen it,I didn't even ask about the direction of my room before walking away from them as if I knew where I was headed. “This is crazy!” I yelled out and flung my legs in the air in frustration.Just then, I remembered, Damson told me lunch will be
***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
