KEIRA: Lennox cursed loudly in my mind. 'Stay there. No matter what you do, do not leave Father. The pack doctor is on the way. Stay calm, love…stay calm.'And the line between us went dead. Did Lennox cut the line dead or was it only my imagination? "Alpha John?"Calm?How could someone be calm in a situation like this?I could no longer feel my hands. It was cold and shaking. My heart won't stop beating fast and all I could do was stare at Alpha John. In my mind, Lennox was saying something but I could no longer hear it. He was still there? Until I realized the door burst open. There were lots of people. Saw Lennox stroll towards his father while the pack doctor was doing everything he could to bring Alpha John back to life. Everything happened so fast. The aloha was barking orders while waiting for the pack doctor's next move. Then four people came in and bought a stretcher. Alpha John's heartbeat returned, but no matter how I told myself to move, it would not. "Keira!" Som
KEIRA:Wife.Now Alpha Lennox was treating me as his wife? Why? Hearing the words wife from his mouth made my chest swell. Everything he said will always create a reaction in me. “Lennox. Will you calm down? Tate and you are not enemies. You can stop trying to kill him with his looks.”"This man has been trying to take you away from me," Alpha Lennox muttered in a dangerously low voice. "No one was taking me away from anyone," I responded. "I do not belong to anyone except for myself. You get it both?" My gaze shifted from Alpha Lennox and Tate. I could see that the former was holding himself from hurting his beta.I don't get why Lennox was acting possessively as if we were mates. We were once, but not now. It was either because of his pride or his wolf. Those were one of the most logical explanations I could think of. Not because of jealousy. Not following his alpha’s orders, Tate’s hand snaked around my shoulders. Alpha Lennox hissed."Hands. Off," Alpha Lennox growled.
KEIRA:Mate. Tate will turn me into his mate.It was not impossible. It was possible as long as there was an agreement between the two persons involved. But of course, regardless if the two agreed or not was for the Moon Goddess to decide. She would always have the final say about that matter."Tate," I called him. "Don't say things like that."The beta smiled and brought my hand to his lips. "I am serious, doll. I have never been serious in my entire life."I pulled my hands away and put it at the back. Tate did not know what he was saying. That was the only thing I could think of right now.He would be going to make me his mate? Why? Did he truly like me like what he said? If he continued saying it, then, I would be thinking that he was saying the truth now. But of course, it was not, right?I refused to be treated as someone's charity case. "Beta. Do you understand what you are talking about right now and the repercussions of it?"I let out a shivered sigh. Yeah.The repercus
KEIRA:I chuckled in the end. "You're seriously doing this to me, Malik? You never had any ounce of pity on my peace of mind, did you?" I asked, the bitterness was like a venom in my tongue. Alpha John was hospitalized while Zoe's life was in danger. The fate of what happened to the two was now on my shoulders.What kind of cruel fate was this?What kind of cruelty did I do in my past life to be troubled this great?“Are you not scared of what your sister would become on that pack?”I heard footsteps on the other line. Perhaps Malik went to his window and stared at the full moon in the sky and contemplated on what he would say next. “Zoe is my sister.”“That's the point, Malik. Zoe is your sister and I had no relationship with her.” Only Lennox and Zoe. “Zoe. Father thinks highly of us his children that they are not allowed to commit any mistakes. Between the two of us, Father thinks less of Zoe because he said she is weak.”I beg to disagree.When I first saw Zoe, she excluded tr
KEIRA:I stiffened.Tate and Lennox's voices seemed so down as if they really regretted what they had done here. Nothing was broken so far except my trust in both of them and that was the most valuable thing of all.Did Tate and Lennox think about asking for my forgiveness at the same time? Did they think about it? Or did they plan about it?Their forgiveness moved me a little, shooing away some of my pain.However, they must learn their lessons. 'Doll?''Love?''Doll. I won't do it again. I promise you. I will control myself and be reminded that you don't want me to get hurt because you love me, do you?'A growl echoed at our connection. From Lennox. He said he will promise not to pick a fight with the alpha, but from what he was doing right now, he was not doing it.'Keira loves me. She only loves me.''Emotions and feelings change over time, Alpha Lennox especially if she won't feel anything in return from you. Right, doll?''Is this part two of your brawl?'The two were silent
KEIRA:I tried calling Lennox once again. Tried reaching out to him, but he already blocked me.Just as I was about to tell him, he already knew it from another source. Who? Who told him? Did he have contact with Zoe's pack? My neck throbs. My head hurts. Especially my heart. Everything hurts. A lot.As if sensing I was hurting inside, Alpha John called my name. "Rei." No. It was not my name but of his daughter. He rarely called me Keira. Does not matter anymore as long as he was alive and with us. He can call me whatever name he wants. “Rei?”Inhale. Exhale.Alpha John should never find what his son had been doing for now. Or he would have another heart attack.Forcing a smile, I faced Alpha John again. "Yes, Dad? You call?"His brows furrowed and stared at my face. I shifted my feet from foot to foot. "You look tense. Is there something wrong? Is it my son? I know it. He always gives you a headache. On his behalf, I wanted to apologize. I am waiting for the day he will be res
KEIRA:The pack was gloomy. Not once did I see someone laughing or smiling which was not the usual scenario. Everyone was grieving the sudden passing of Alpha John. Though we kind of expected that this would happen. That he would die, but I never thought that this would be this soon.I was not prepared. No one was prepared. I oversaw all the preparations including the food of everyone who would visit the pack to pay their respects. Including the alphas and betas from the neighboring pack.This was the final day that I would be seeing Alpha John's face and tomorrow, he would be buried where Rei and his wife had rested their final place. I was hoping that Lennox would do his duty as the only living child of the previous alpha. To be with us. But I waited in vain. Still no message from him."Is he even still alive?" I asked out of the blue. Tate and I were sitting opposite each other. Only a few had managed to stay awake at this hour. The others were already going to their rooms t
KEIRA:No.It was not that Tate and I "had" a relationship. It should have. I waited for Tate's response, but it seemed like he kind of expected I would be saying it.I scoffed. "I know it. You heard them."All because he wanted to protect my feelings. This man. How long will he learn until he realized he could not protect me forever?Tate picked a small stone and threw it. "Yes. But I tried ignoring them, doll. Why would I listen to it when I know the truth? You never even give me the chance to court you."Tate.How will I say it? He never failed to show his true feelings for me, but I treated it as if I did see it. Others would see that there was something. The more they would think that the rumors were true."Why would you court me when I am the Luna of this pack?""Doll. Are you seriously waiting for him to divorce you? Right now, your agreement has expired after Alpha John died."That was why I will be explaining to the pack my decisions when Lennox continued missing in action.
