KIARA’S POV
My lips spread into a wide smile as I watched Nivaan and Richard train the werewolves in the use of silver weapons. Alpha Orville and Alpha Rodreo had agreed to help us and had sent five volunteers each to learn the techniques.
We had hired human designers to design special clothes and gloves for all the werewolves. This would keep them safe while they wielded silver weapons.
Draco had managed to snag a thousand pieces of jade rings from a dealer. Valence had already spelled them and immersed them in herbs. Now, she was busy guarding them.
“Luna…” Layla’s sweet voice drew my attention to her. She was a young girl who had volunteered to take care of my health. Though she was a teenager, she sounded like my grandmom when she gave me advice.
I chuckled slightly as she stood there glaring at me with a bowl of soup in her hand. She was surely going into grandma mode now.
“Luna Kia
KEVIN’S POV I groaned as I tried to open my eyes but they seemed as if they were glued together. My arms and legs were numb and no matter how hard I tried they wouldn’t budge. It didn’t take me long to realize that I was tied up with ropes.I racked my brain trying to figure out how I got here. The last thing I remembered the explosion. I had somehow managed to survive it. Then everything was bleary. There were some glimpses of a woman talking to me but I couldn’t figure out what she said.“So, you are awake, Kevin. Right on time I see…” A familiar voice sounded to my left. I tried to open my eyes. I could sense the fluttering of my eyelids but all I could see was darkness.Tugging at the ropes, I said in a panicked voice, “Cami! I don’t know how I ended up here. Please help me untie these ropes. I have to go to my packhouse…”“I felt a soft sensation as she
KIARA’S POV We kept waiting for the troops to arrive but they never did. Morning turned to noon and noon turned to sunset. In the end, we decided to rest and plan afresh the next day.Leaving a few guards to guard the gate, we retired to the mansion. I plopped on the bed and stretched my aching arms and legs. My head was spinning with possibilities. Was Ariana planning a surprise attack? Had she decided to use some other strategy to defeat us?I was too engrossed in my thoughts and didn’t realize when Layla thrust a bowl of soup into my hands. In my distracted stupor, I lifted the spoon to my mouth and was about to take the first sip when a force caused the spoon to fly out of my hand. The next moment the bowl fell on the floor and shattered.“What the hell!” I exclaimed and jumped to my feet. My mouth remained open and my eyes widened when I saw Layla in Nivaan’s grasp. Before I could say anything he slit h
Five years later…KIARA’S POVDrops of tears fell on the piece of paper as I ran my hand over it. It was left by Nivaan for me on the eve of my twenty-third birthday.Dear Cuckoo, I feel like my life is meaningless without Valence. Don’t get me wrong I love you all but there is a hollow in my heart that is eating me up. I am going in search of peace. I might finally be at peace when I find my mate. If that happens, I will return home. Till then, I hope my gift will give you so much happiness that you won’t miss me…Always yours, Nivaan LovelockMy lips stretched into a weak smile as Kevin hugged me from behind. He lowered his head near my ears and said, “Missing your brother.I let out a deep sigh and turned around to face him. I cupped his face and looked into his eyes. They remi
KIARA’S POVI groaned as I tossed in my bed. The bright light streaming from the window made it impossible to remain asleep. How I wished I could be lost in the soothing darkness forever.A wave of piercing sensation made me realize that sleeping for a long time would remain just that, a dream. It was a miracle that I had managed to sleep the previous night.A long, suffering, groan escaped my mouth as I pulled myself up. Massaging my head with one hand, I drew the sheets closer around me.Forcing myself to crack open my eyelids, I swept my eyes around my bedroom. The peeling paints, cracked walls, and low wooden ceiling; not exactly ideal but I was glad they let me have my own room.Thuk! Thuk! Thuk! Thuk!.... the distinct creaking of the wooden floorboards hit my head like a hammer. A shudder coursed through me when I realized that it was a Sunday.Bile rose in my throat and I rushed to the bathroom. The queazy sensation in my stomac
Two years later…KEVIN’S POVWarm water cascaded down my body, soothing my aching muscles. My father insisted that I trained at least two hours in the morning. After all, I was the future Alpha of The Mystical Pack. My weakness could be the downfall of the entire pack.A sharp knock pulled me out of my thoughts. “Kevin! If you don’t come out in two minutes I will come inside.”I groaned as I turned off the shower. If it was someone else I would have ignored it. This was my beloved sister, Risha. She must have already arranged for a duplicate key before threatening me.Wrapping a soft, white towel around my torso, I rushed to open the door.Risha’s eyes lit up and her lips stretched
KIARA’S POVExhaling deeply, I threw the brown paper bag on my bed. I was about to hop into the bathroom when my phone rang.My heart skipped a beat when I saw the caller Id. The phone almost slipped out of my hand as I tried to pick it up in a haste.My voice shook slightly as I rasped, “Hello.”“Honey… what took you so long to pick up my call?”I licked my dry lips and stuttered, “I…I… was walking… I didn’t realize that…”“Next time, I expect you to answer at the first ring, is that clear?”I nodded but then I realized she couldn’t se
KEVIN’S POV‘Why did Dad have to keep the party on the common land?” Risha complained as she walked towards the car.She swayed slightly as she tried to balance herself on the six-inch heels. She held the edges of the long, peach gown in both her hands as she walked at the pace of a tortoise.I stifled the urge to burst out laughing and said, “Hurry up, Risha. Do you want me to be late for my own party?”She squinted her eyes at me as if she would devour me whole. This only made me want to laugh harder. I bit the inside of my cheek and turned away.“Ahhh!!!” A scream drew my attention back to her. My eyes widened in horror when I saw her fall. I rushed towards her but Cami had already caught her by the tim
KEVIN’S POVI was waiting for my drink when I sensed someone’s stare. The urge to turn around and look was so strong, almost as if I was drawn by an invisible force.I sucked in my breath when my eyes landed on the gorgeous girl in front of me. She was the one who had dominated my thoughts all this while. In the long, black gown she looked like the moon goddess had descended on earth wrapped in the star-studded sky.I walked towards her as if my body had a mind of its own. I inhaled deeply as the distinct fragrance of pine and cherries assaulted me. The scent calmed and comforted an ache in my heart which I didn’t know was present.Four words popped in my mind the moment our eyes met, ‘Mate, love, protect, honor.’
