Icarus was patiently waiting in his car for Kiara as he smoked a cigarette. As soon as she came out of her dressing room, she was reported the same by Robin.The girl was a little hesitant to go back to the hotel with Icarus. The hotel was not that far and she had come here with the rest of the crew members in a minivan. She was afraid that people would start talking about her again if they saw her going in his car.It was Sophia who motivated they go back to the hotel with Icarus.Icarus looked at Kiara walking towards his car through the closed window of his car. He threw the rest of the cigarette out and moved aside to give her some space to sit.“Good evening, Alpha Icarus.” Sophia greeted the man as she proceeded to occupy the passenger seat next to the driver’s seat.Kiara smiled as she awkwardly sat down next to the man. Icarus was silent just like his usual self but it was evident that he was in an extremely bad mood.Once everyone settled in, he opened his mouth to speak out
"That is it…" Sophia narrated everything to the trio, while Robin and Luke were rendered speechless, the Alpha replied with a faint grunt.They had to admit that their Alpha's hunch was never wrong.The man asked, "Why didn't Kiara tell me about any of this?""That… She was afraid of telling you, Alpha." "And why is that?"Sophia said, "She did not tell me that but she did say that you will be really angry if you got to know about this." She stopped there and continued, "She was even willing to go to the lengths of returning the fees paid to her and paying up for the losses incurred by the crew to make them stop spouting rumours about her."Icarus's expression changed from anger to realisation when he got to know about this. The girl was willing to suffer all alone and not let him know about a single thing. Was she that scared of him?He remembered the last time something like this happened. He had proceeded to drown her and leave her unconscious outside on a cold night last time whe
"We sure do." Icarus leaned back on his chair leisurely and asked, "I understand that you all came up with an idea and decided to go by it. But was the actress ever informed about it?" "We did not think it was necessary, Alpha." Kevin spoke up, "She is just an actress who is getting paid to follow the script given to her, she has no say in things which the crew has approved. If she was to come up with an idea which these men approve of, I too will be obliged to follow it." Icarus's eyes gleamed with bloodlust when he heard Kevin's words, this boy was indeed troublesome. He grunted before asking, "Mr Kevin, are you a wolf?" The proud smile which was on the latter's face faded slightly when he heard the Alpha's question. He asked, "How is that related to the conversation we are having today." "You seem to hold so much power that you are making decisions on behalf of the others. So I wanted to know what is your rank?" The boy pursed his lips and his fist involuntary balled up. Even
Icarus replied, "What we are is none of your concern. I care about her and cannot stand anyone bullying her."Kevin nodded and left the conference room but as soon as he came out, his aura became chilly. Paul was waiting for him outside the hall and as soon as he saw him come out, he rushed to him. He asked with his tone filled with concern, "Kevin, are you okay? What happened inside?""Let's talk about this later, shall we?" The actor replied before addressing the men who were sitting in the waiting area. He said, "He wants to meet you all and has called you inside."The head producer asked timidly, "What is he calling us for?""Don't know. You will find it once you go inside." The actor replied impatiently before walking away.Back in her hotel room, Kiara got some elating news from the director. The original script was restored and she no longer had to worry about anything.The director could not help but fanboy over Icarus for the way he handled the situation. Not only did he deci
"I always wanted to come here but Sophia won't ever take me saying it was dangerous." Kiara ranted to him as she rubbed her hand to keep herself warm. A weird stir of emotion took place within his heart as he remembered something. Back in the day, she would say this a lot to him, how he let her do things which Sophia basically stopped her from doing. It was her little rant and he enjoyed listening to it all day.He turned his eyes away and stared at the night in front of him, his eyes clouding with relief and disbelief. He never thought that he would hear her little rants again in this lifetime. It all felt… surreal to him.He asked, "Did you like the dinner? I assumed that you would be tired so I went ahead and ordered the food to be delivered to your room." "Yeah, it was good." She nodded, "I really was too lazy to go downstairs and have dinner. You kinda helped me a lot today."Icarus did not say anything and nodded his head, taking notes that she liked dinner served to her in her
Icarus put her down in front of the elevator as they waited for it. He said, "Go back to your room and sleep like a good girl, ok? I should not catch you running around.""Yes… What about you? Do you have work tonight?" She asked.The man pulled his lips together when he remembered the condition of his room. Both Robin and Luke were in his room and both of them were sleeping in the second bedroom of the suite.Both of them were so noisy that he could hardly shut his eyes the whole night."Oh… That explains why you were out of your room past bedtime." Kiara commented followed by the opening of the elevator.They both went inside and stood there.,. waiting for their floor to arrive.Kiara bit down on her lips as if she was hesitant about something. She looked at the man and then withdrew her eyes. Her minute actions could not escape the man's eyes. He asked, "Is everything alright?""I… That…" She took a deep breath and said, "You said you can't sleep in your room because of the noise.
When Paul received a text from Kevin saying that he had a change of heart and they were going to the resort with Icarus, he felt a little suspicious. A spoiled brat was too prideful to accept an invitation from an enemy, just what was he cooking in his head?No matter what he had planned, Paul was determined to stop him from executing it.Once the lunch was folded up, the crew hopped onto a bus and made their way to the resort which was three hours away.Kiara was sick, so she used it as an excuse to travel along with Icarus in his car. The car could only fit three people other than the chauffeur, Luke saw this as an opportunity to back out and travel in the bus along with the others. Even though he looked as if he was sacrificing, his main goal was to travel with Sophia.He saw her standing at a distance, waiting for the bus to arrive. He checked himself in the mirror and corrected his hair before finally walking towards it."Hey. How are you doing?" He greeted her, grabbing her atte
Sophia got out of the spring to get herself a refill when she heard a familiar ringtone. She threw her eyes at her purse and checked it to discover that Kiara had left her phone with her. Icarus was calling her so she picked up the phone and answered, "Alpha!""Sophia? Where is Kiara?" The man asked. The girl replied, "She wasn't feeling well so she went back to her room but it looks like she forgot her phone here.""Went back to her room? When?" "Around five minutes ago. Why are you asking?" Icarus replied, "Because I am just coming downstairs from my room and I did not see her anywhere on the way.""What?" Sophia's expression changed slightly, "How is that possible? She told me that she was feeling sick and left right in front of my eyes.""Okay, I will go and check on her once." Icarus said to which the latter replied that she was going to accompany him as well. The two met at the elevator and went to Kiara's room together but when they reached there, they discovered that the do
Kiara struggled but with her hands and legs strapped on, there was nothing much she could do. Anne Maria was just about to insert the injection when one of her henchmen stopped her. He showed her the copy of the medical reports and whispered something into her ears. Whatever he said, made her extremely happy. She said, "You are pregnant? Congratulations." "Don't even think about doing anything to my child." Kiara warned her in a stern tone. Anne Maria raised her hand as if she was surrendering and said, "Hey, I am a mother as well. I know how important kids are. I am not gonna hurt your baby. In fact, I am gonna spare your life." Kiara felt a tinge of relief inside her heart when she heard her words but what she said next completely robbed her of it. She said, "Why kill you when we can have it the most direct way? You stole my son from me… Now I am gonna steal your baby from you!" "What? No! NO! Stop. Don't do this." Kiara begged and pleaded but her pleas were left unheard. Anne M
Kiara's mind went blank, she picked up the document and went through the list all over again lest she made any mistake. Sadly, she did not, and all the companies and individuals were indeed associated with Vuron Corps.Her face went pale as that of a ghost, why did Icarus do that?Her father had a heart failure and was close to dying because of this!She fell back on the bed, not knowing what to do. There was only one thing circulating around her head…Why did Icarus cause the company to go bankrupt only to come back and help them revive it using his own money?She could not torture herself with these questions anymore. She picked up her phone and video-called Icarus.The man was going through a series of proposals in his office when his phone rang. He checked his phone screen to see that it was Kiara video-calling him. He dismissed all his staff, corrected his tie, and attended the video call."Hey… What happened to you?" His casual time turned into worry when he saw her reddened eye
The doctor gave Kiara a bunch of pills which kept her morning sickness at bay. With a piece of new news up her sleeve and the excitement of it, Kiara was experiencing a whole different glow. Even Phantom was stunned to see her like this.After a lot of push and pull, came the final day of the event. The stage was set up and the runway was rolled out. A lot of paparazzi were already seated on the front row to get the best shot of the event.Kiara was worried that all these foods that she had been eating behind Phantom's back would have caused her to put on some weight but it was not the case, she was in the right size and the dresses fit her perfectly. The girl was surprised as to how it had happened but she did not dwell on it much.Phantom was extremely pleased with how Kiara was looking, he clapped his hands a few times before showering her with praises."Put on her makeup, she is going to bring my vision to life." Phantom exclaimed, making the make-up artists drag Kiara away.Just
She was about to ask him the question when the doorbell rang. Kiara furrowed, "Who could it be this late at night?'"Must be your gift?" The man uttered."My gift?" The girl immediately opened the door to see a delivery man standing at her door. He asked, "Miss Smith?"The girl nodded in reply.The man immediately fished out a big box and handed it to her, "Happy Birthday, Miss Smith.""Thank you so much." Kiara squinted her eyes shyly. She took the box and came inside, sitting inside was a beautiful chocolate cake. She said, "You ordered this for me?""Yes, do you like it?""I love it!" Her eyes gleamed before the shine slowly started to vanish, "But I can't have this?""Why?" Icarus asked and that was when he was told what was going on with Kiara for the past few days. His mood started to get worse and the aura around him became colder as she proceeded with the story. By the time she reached the end, the Alpha was fuming."How dare he starve my wife? Does he have a death wish?" Ica
Three months later…"Kiara, you can't eat that!" The head designer, Phantom Gray, yelled across the room. The girl who was about to devour the lemon cupcake stopped and poured.She said, "Come on, chief! It's just one cupcake, you have starved me for three days already.""No! We can't take any chances." The man took the food from her hand and handed her a raw carrot, "If you are hungry, eat this. The event is in three days, you have to fit into those dresses."Kiara nodded sadly and after Phantom walked away, Sophia came in. She asked, "Are you okay?"The girl made a grumpy face and took a bite of the carrot, she said, "This was not what I expected."Sophia laughed, "You were the one who wanted to experience the runway and you are sick of it already?"Icarus has announced that Kiara was on a hiatus after the episode with Kevin. Even though she enjoyed the rest, she was starting to get bored sitting idle at home. She painstakingly convinced Icarus to let her go back to shooting. The ma
"Say something." Icarus spoke up when he did not receive any response from the girl. Her silence was making him nervous.The girl said, "I can't believe this. Icarus, promise me that you are not messing with me.""I promise you that I am not lying." The man said in a solemn tone, "I have been in love with you since I learnt the meaning of love.'"Then… then why didn't you tell me earlier?" Regret reflected in his tone as he said, "I always felt like you were my mate but I wanted to wait till my eighteenth birthday to be sure. But deep down, maybe I was just making up excuses. I was not brave enough to confess it to you, I feared that you might even stop being friends with me. I was scared of losing you."Kiara felt her heart skip a beat when she heard his sincere words.No wonder he never told her who he was in love with!No wonder he was upset when she told him that she was in love with Darren!No wonder he wanted to protect her…She was his mate.Kiara knew that mates mattered a lo
"Sorry for coming unannounced." The girl smiled.Icarus took the packages from her hand and said, "Come in.""Thank you." She said before dropping on the couch. She had to take a moment to catch her breath.Icarus kept the things she brought on the table and asked, "Why are you here?"When the man asked this question, the girl's mind was alarmed. She looked at the clock and realised that it was about to hit midnight.She hurriedly cleared the table and took out the cake from the box. She put the candle and lit it up right when it hit 12."Happy Birthday, Icarus." She said with a bright smile. The man froze and looked at the cake in front of him."Is this… for me?" He asked to which the girl nodded, "Yes! I made it myself."Icarus was mum for a while and kept staring at the cake. Kiara's smile started to vanish with each second he was silent. She asked, "What happened? Did you not like…"Before she could even finish her sentence, Icarus wrapped her in a hug. "I… " Kiara's whole body
Even though the lunch was all chatter and laughter, things were not the same for Kiara because right now, she was viewing the brothers in a completely different light.She felt as if everything she believed until now was a lie.After they were done eating, Darren paid the bill and they went to the mall to do some shopping.Icarus was busy with the phone calls most of the time and he did not mind what they were buying.The group was currently in a garment store, Darren wanted to pick up some new shirts for himself so he dragged them along with him to the men's section.Kiara looked at Icarus talking to an acquaintance in the distance and went back to looking at the clothes in front of her. It was Icarus's birthday tomorrow and she wanted to give him something but she wasn't sure what to get him."Choosing clothes for Icarus?" Darren said suddenly, startling her. She smiled and nodded, "Since we are here, I thought I would get him something for his birthday.'Darren looked at the dark b
"Alpha, is everything alright?" The principal asked in a worried tone.Icarus did not like the way this was going, he was here to have some good time. He said, "Actually, no. The way you all are acting around here is suspicious to me." "What?" The principal gaped in horror. What did he do now?Darren's face palmed himself and came forth, "No, no. My brother is kidding! We were just here to look around, we used to go to this school.""Oh, I see." The middle-aged man let out a sigh of relief. He invited all of them to look around the school. Darren was pleasantly surprised by this, he asked, "Really? We can do that?"The principal chuckled, "You all are our pack's leaders. Our school will be honoured to have you here."The three initially did not plan to go inside the school but now that they were told they could, they did not want to miss it. Darren, like a happy child, immediately rushed inside, not even waiting for Kiara and Icarus. The two looked at each other awkwardly until Icar
