***Keira's POV***I ran into the woods and to my greatest bewilderment I discovered that my wolf isn't just fast but powerful as well. After running for hours, I finally decided to rest because I felt terribly hungry. “Kendra, can we take a rest for now? I'm famished.”“We can't waste much time, we need to see them.”“See them? See who?”“Those we are responsible for?”My wolf was confusing me at this moment. “Kendra, you think we have the strength to be responsible for people we don't know? It's best to save our heads first, after that, we can think of saving others. Don't you think so?”“We don't have much time. They've been waiting for years now.”Despite all the nagging of my wolf, I didn't budge. Though she still had the strength for a race, but not me. I'm terribly famished. While I was resting, I suddenly felt the need to close my eyes for a while. But just as I shut my eyes, I suddenly perceived a foul smell. It was the worst smell I've ever perceived. It seemed as if ever
**Alpha Drake's POV***I waited patiently for Amanda's call, together with Damson and Ethan. It's been a day and yet no news from Amanda. “Brother, I do not trust this Amanda. It's been a day, and she hasn't called us yet. Don't you find this fishy?” Damson complained. “I think she has a motive and the reason she hadn't messaged us all day,” Ethan added. For me, I think there's something else wrong. The Amanda I know will keep to her promise, especially knows this marriage of ours depends on if. Something must have happened. I only hope it's not something serious. “I don't think we should jump to a conclusion yet. As far as I know, there must be something going on which she's scared to tell us.”“Scared to tell us? It can't be that she and Arthur has murdered Keira!” Ethan said in panic. “Easy man, that cannot happen. Have you forgotten that we have her mark, and for this, we are connected? If she's in pain, we'll surely be in pain. Though she'll never feel ours since she's Wolf
***Keira's POV***It's been a week ever since I arrived at the dwelling of the Wolf less. I had no idea they formed a community of their own. They also made an Alpha for themselves, though they don't live a luxurious life like those in a pack does. And I think I understand why. I looked out of the window in the room I had been confined in for over a week now. Not that I couldn't leave the room, but whenever I went out, I couldn't help but notice that they were pleased to see me. And I can't blame them for it. Their attitude towards me is due to what they had suffered at the hands of the pack wolves. While I was thinking about the life of the Wolf less, I suddenly heard a knock on the door. I quickly turned around from the window where I sat. “Miss Keira, may I come in?”Richard? That is the head of the Wolfless, also known as their Alpha asked. “Please come in,” I replied, still sitting by the window. The door flew open and Richard walked in. Richard has the stature of a true
**Keira's POV***I stood in front of the fairly large crowd. They were all staring at me in a daze. I could tell that they didn't believe a word of what the witch had just said. I do not blame their disbelief. I also have a hard time believing what I heard was true. If that's the case, doesn't this mean, I have to become a leader to these people? "Great seer, we have never doubted your words before now. And so far, you've been a heart help to us all. For this reason, we have every reason to believe that whatever you do, is for our own good. But presently, we can't help but doubt the situation. Please do not blame us for it,” an elderly man said on behalf of the others, who nodded their heads supporting what he said. “If you believed my words before now, then this is more reason why you should believe what I'm trying to tell you now.”Though I was scared 9f what they think of me, if the Seer was truly right about what she said about me, then I have every reason to back up her claim.
***Keira's POV***I waited patiently for Richard and the others who went to town, as I was curious about what the seer said to me. I wanted to know just how they managed to go into the outside world and get what they wanted. A few hours later, Richard and the men who went out with him came back in a truck, carrying plenty of foodstuffs. Everyone seemed happy at their return and sang their praises. I haven't been here for long, but seeing how loving they are makes me want to fit into the crowd. It's not like there's anything stopping me from doing so. “Miss Keira, you're here,” Richard said, walking over to meet me. I smiled at him and walked over to him as well. “You're welcome. I must say you're doing an impressive job here.”“I'm delighted to be praised by you,” he uttered with a bright smile. “Uhm, may I have a word with you, please?”“Yes, please,” he led the way whilst I followed behind him. “How long have you been going to the outside world to get supplies?”He turned arou
***Kiera's POV***“Miss Keira, it's too dangerous. I need you over here so you could protect them since you have a wolf.”This was worse. I don't even know how to fight with my physical form, not to talk about my wolf form. What if there are many, will I truly be able to defend them? What if they end up getting hurt simply because I can't save them like they thought I would?“Miss Keira, I know you're worried right now. But I want you to trust yourself. You need to be courageous, don't be dismayed.”I looked up at Richard, and when I saw determination in his eyes, I knew that I had nothing to be afraid about. All my life, I've lived in hiding. If this will be the only thing I can do before I die, then I'll be glad I could help.“So don't worry about me then. I'll take care of our people as best as I can. But you must come back alive as well.”“I surely Will,” with that, he walked away. What should I do now? Just then, I thought of seer Abigail. I need to go to her and inform her of
**Keira's POV**We ran into the woods without knowing where we were headed. It's the break of dawn and no one has rested. And that was because we didn't have the time to, especially when we were chased by some rogues who didn't relent in their pursuit of us. After running for hours, the seer advised everyone to take a break underneath a tree. Everyone complied, including me. I looked in the direction of the surviving soldiers. Some were bleeding profusely on the arm. Good thing there's a healer among us who helped patch them up. I was on the lookout since I was the only one who could sense them. Fortunately, as of the moment, I didn't perceive them around. I prayed in the silence of my heart for them not to show up. It was morning already and everyone was pretty exhausted. The soldiers are all injured. I'm uncertain if they can hold up another attack. I, on the other hand, sustained a cut on my arm which has healed pretty nicely. This was so shocking for me because I still did n
**Drake's POV***“Useless! You're all useless! What do you mean you can't find her? Are you trying to tell me that she disappeared without a trace again? Is that it?” I asked in anger. “Forgive us, Alpha. We'll keep on searching for her until we find her.”“Are you serious with me right now? How long have you been searching, huh? Just how long!” I yelled using my Alpha tone, and they all went cowering in fear. “Brothers, what's going on?” Ethan asked as he walked into my study room.”“You're back, Austin. Where is she?” Ethan asked. “We couldn't find her yet,” he replied. “What? You can't find her yet? If that's the case, why did you return? You could have stayed in the woods until you found her. Why the fuck did you come back without Keira!” Ethan yelled out. He picked up Austin from the chair and dragged him out of my office. At this point, I was extremely frustrated that I didn't even know what to say at this point. I was just too confused and mad. My wolf has gone berserk. E
***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
