~Kira~I blinked twice, trying my best not to drop any tears. If it was just Xavier, then I wouldn’t mind showing my weakness, but Lola was there and I knew that seeing me in distress was the only thing that would make her happy. So I refused to give her that satisfaction.“I’m not just anyone, Xav. I’m your mate and Luna. And you can’t talk to me in front of your…mistress. Is that what she is right now? After you promised that there was nothing going between the two of you?”He took another drag and held Lola’s neck as he blew the smoke in her face, very close to her lips. In fact, their lips almost touched. Lola was enjoying whatever was happening a little too much. She giggled again like a high school teenager who had just received her first kiss from her longtime crush.I would be a great liar if I said that the scenario playing out in front of me didn’t hurt. It hurt like hell. It squeezed my heart as tight as possible, and then yanked it out before breaking it into little pieces

~Xavier~For days, my mood was entirely off. Anyone who got in my way was treated accordingly and made to pay for a problem that they knew nothing about. Everything that I’d tried to do to forget that Kira lied to me, proved abortive.Initially, I decided to give Lola a chance when she slithered up to me like a serpent in need of a rat to feed on, but I couldn’t even stand her for one whole day. After Kira barged into my office that day and saw us, I immediately sent her out after I was sure that Kira wasn’t anywhere near the office anymore.Seeing her in that deplorable state weakened any sort of erection that I would have gotten from Lola’s touch- not that I was going to anyway. For a moment there, I was tempted to take her into my arms and comfort her- tell her that there was no need for her to be so hard on herself. I was tempted to clean that one stray tear that escaped from her eyes, even though I could see how strongly she tried to keep the others in.I hadn’t spared her a gla

~Jake~The next few days passed in a blur, with Ella nursing herself after her miscarriage, and me looking for every possible means to get into the Half moon Pack to see Kira.I wanted to bid my time well, such that alpha Xavier wouldn't have any choice but to let me in. I even tried to get any past dirty secrets of Alpha Xavier, but his records were clean. There was no way that I could put him down for meting out punishments to the people who deserved it as that was the only thing that we could find.Aidan also said something about him murdering his former mate, but all of that was speculation because there was no proof to back it up.As I sat in my office trying to rack my brain and think of something, Aidan knocked and walked him. His facial expression was down, and he looked as though he had been arguing with a lot of people for the longest time.He was supposed to fill in for me at the Council meeting of the elders, but I hadn't expected that they'd be done at this time.“You're
