***Keira's POV*****A week later**Things were going smoothly and ever since I was able to get the interview with my mates, my boss has been wonderful to me. Not only that, I also became the envy of everyone at work. Though, they have no idea about Alpha Drake or the fact that I was mated to the others. “Hi, Keira,” I turned around and saw Fred walking over to my direction. “Uhm, Keira, will you be free this Saturday?”I furrowed my gaze while thinking about the weekend. Well, so far, I don't have any engagements this weekend. “Well, my weekend is quite free. Is there anything you want to talk about?”“Yes, matter of fact. It's very important that we meet this weekend.”“Hmm, since it's crucial, then I guess I'll have some time to spare. “Perfect! You can give me time, you'll be free, and I promise I'll prepare before then.”“Alright. That's not a problem, Fred, I'll surely tell you when I'm free.”He smiled at me once more before walking away. I wonder what's so important that h
***Drake's POV**Since it was the weekend, I thought about spending some time with Keira. It's been a week already, and I missed her. I needed to hold her and kiss her. I don't know when I became so addicted to her. Probably because my brothers and I decided that we are going to keep her as our mate. No matter what anyone might say. I texted her because it was the weekend. I knew she'd be needing to get beauty rest. Though I wasn't in my office, I was at the pack and in my study room where I have decided to handle some little pack matters before going back to my office, which will surely take the whole weekend. For this reason, I decided to text Keira and ask her for an outing, but she quickly replied to me that she was busy today. This makes me wonder what she was so busy with. According to the information I had found out about Keira's work space, I learned she was well respected back at the office, and she wasn't given any special attachment as yet. But then, I became curious
***Keira's POV**I noticed how Fred instantly went pale when I told him about having a mate. “Fred, are you okay?”“Huh?” He muttered while looking up at me. Immediately, he picked up the glass of juice on the table and gulped it down his throat at one go. “Keira, I have to be honest that I was quite taken aback when I found out you already have a mate. I was truly looking forward to a beautiful relationship with you, I just confess.”“I understand what you mean, Fred, but I believe that having a mate is a serious matter, and it means there's no way I can accept you even if I wanted to.”“You're right, I guess I came late. But then, this doesn't stop us from being friends, or does it?”“Of course not. You're still my friend, any time, and any day.”Fred smiled broadly, and I'm also glad that I was able to convince him. He's a good friend whom I really do not want to lose in my life. “Okay, since we are still friends, why don't we embrace one another. I mean, I want to call these fe
***Keira's POV***While in the car with Drake, I noticed he didn't say a word to me. I realized that he was still very much annoyed with me, and I understand why. I stayed quiet as well. I didn't want to say anything to him that would provoke him. What if he yells at him. I've never seen him get angry before, and I can't even begin to imagine just how bad his anger might be. An hour later, I found myself in front of a mansion which looked quite ancient but new all the same. I had never seen such a building so beautiful. I looked in Drake's direction, but he didn't look at me at all. He must still be mad at me. But if that was the case, why did he bring me here? If I'm not mistaken, the setting looks like a pack. Though I haven't been to a pack for long, but I could recognize when I saw one. After he switched off the engine, he took his gaze over to my direction. “We are home.”“Home?” I asked, looking at him with a surprised expression. “Yes, this is my Pack and as the future
***Alpha Drake***“I woke up at night, unable to sleep. Now that I'm in the pack, I still have a lot of work to deal with. I walked over to my office desk and switched on my computer. Just as I was about to carry out my duties, my mind flashed over to Keira. I still don't know who sent those texts to me and my brothers. But if I should let my suspicions run wild, I would say that I already know who did that, and it was none other than Amanda. She's the only one I know who is well aware of the fact that I'm mated to Keira. With this thought in mind, I thought of the best way to investigate Amanda without pointing accusing fingers at her because it could also be that she's not actually at fault. If that was the case, then it would mean that I was accusing of no good reason. I quickly shut my mind from thinking about the Suspect. My men are still trying to track the number with which the message was sent. Moreover, Damson and Ethan are trying to track down whomever it may be. With a
***Amanda's POV***“You have nothing to fear because the deed has already been done.”“What do you mean?” She asked, looking confused about what I had said. “She's definitely going to be hated by them. There's nothing to worry about her, especially now that all of them caught her red-handed. Thanks for calling me and telling me what happened.”“I didn't mean to say that to you.”“Please don't let your conscience make you feel guilty. You made the right choice, Elena. If you continue to collaborate with me in the future, I'll continue to help you.”“I don't want to collaborate with you in the future. Maybe you don't understand what I'm trying to say. I don't want anything to do with you from now on. Don't you understand?”I stared at Elena for a while. I understood exactly what she was trying to say, but little did she know that she cannot stop cooperating with me from now on. “Elena, I want you to calm down and think this through. Though you might think that you don't want me now,
***Elena's POV***“What are you talking about, Keira? What do you mean, you're not coming back to work or the house?”“Elena, I know this is confusing for you, but Drake was right. Someone had begun to put an eye on me. I would rather not get you in trouble. I would never forgive myself if something terrible should happen to you because of me.”“No, wait. You really do not have to leave.“Well, that's because she's been busy lately,” I said with a half-baked smile, even though it wasn't what I wanted. “This is serious. You two are housemates. Are you trying to tell me that you have no idea where she has gone?”“How am I supposed to answer all these questions? Don't you think it is too private for you all to ask?”I snapped at them and immediately, they all went silent. I didn't care to see their reaction before walking away from them. They are becoming too annoying at work, and it was, beginning to get on my nerves. If only they had an idea about him, I feel at this moment. “Miss
**Keira's POV***While I was going through the internet, I suddenly saw where it was written that Amanda and a reporter had been seen together and Amanda had declared her friend. I couldn't help but wonder who that reporter was because her face was always blurred, making it impossible for me to see exactly what she looked like. Well, it isn't my business. She has every right to choose those she wants by her side. Though I hope she's not going to cause a disaster. I've had a bad feeling about Amanda ever since the last time we met at the club. Maybe it was just my speculation and there was actually nothing wrong. While I was at the pack, I went through certain discrimination which made me stay indoors for the whole week that I've been here. My mates are all busy with work. But then, while I was in the pack. I could hardly move around. Though they have no rules for me and neither did they stop me from going out. Drake specifically asked me to feel home and do whatever I wanted to d
***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
