"What the fuck!" Kiara screamed before slamming the door shut and running out. Her voice attracted Icarus's attention who stood there blankly; everything happened so quickly that he had no time to react.
Kiara didn't stop until she was out of the room in the corridor; her heart was racing and her cheeks were as red as overly ripened tomatoes. What did she just see…
She covered her face in shame as the image of him standing ass naked came back to her memories. He was such a big Alpha but he didn't have the common sense to lock the door before taking a shower.
She was cursing him in the head when she heard Chloe's voice, "Luna, are you okay?"
Kiara's head shot upwards as she vigorously nodded her head, "Yes! I am."
"I… Are you sure because your cheeks are… Unhealthily red."
"Huh? No no, it is normal." Kiara rubbed her cheeks and shook her head and immediately changed the topic, "Is the breakfast ready?"
Chole nodded
“Girl, are you there?” Sophia asked, making Kiara snap out of her thoughts. The manager asked her to get ready as she would be picking her up in two hours. It all felt like a dream to her, was she really gonna launch? Still in a daze, she walked back to her room, completely forgetting about her earlier encounter with Icarus. The man was currently getting down the stairs when their eyes met. The images from the previous encounter flashed in her mind, making her lower her eyes. She was just about to go past him when he called her out; Kiara stopped in her tracks and her heart started to race. Was he going to ask her about earlier? If he does, what was she supposed to say? She shook off all those thoughts from her head and turned around to look at him. With an extremely solemn expression, he asked, “One of my friends told me that you appeared in an audition yesterday. How did it go?” Something seemed to have lifted out of Kiara’s chest, she let out a sigh of relief and immediately
The smile which was on everyone’s face vanished as soon as they realised that it was their Alpha standing at the door. They quickly jumped off their seats and bowed down to him, greeting him in a very respectful tone. Icarus was not in the mood of acknowledging their greetings, his eyes were stuck on Kiara.The man was in another city for an inter-pack meeting and had just reached back. According to his schedule, he had a meeting over lunch with one of his collaborators. He did not have time to even rest a bit and was preparing to leave for lunch. Just then, he heard his phone chime; Icarus always keeps his phone on silent lest it distracts him from working but he had changed the setting in such a way that he would be notified only if it was anything from either Kiara or Sophia.Kiara would never text him, he did not even know if she had his number so he deduced that it must be from her friend. He casually took out his phone, thinking that it must be a text saying that the contract wa
“What?” Robin was taken aback by his question. He asked, “Why would you think like that, Alpha?”Icarus looked out of the window, his face was burning red because of his intoxication. He blurted, “She was bullied despite me being here for her. What is the use of me being the Alpha if I could not even protect my Luna.” Robin felt extremely sorry for Icarus, this was the first time he was ever seen his Alpha this low. He did not think that the Luna would matter so much to him.He said, "No, sir. I beg to differ. It was not your fault.""You think so?" Icarus turned his questioning gaze at him. The Beta kept looking straight ahead at the road as he proceeded to explain, "Yes, Alpha! No one knows Miss Smith is your Luna, neither is your marriage public nor is she marked by you. Humans have always been treated inferior to were folks, we cannot change something which is as deep rooted as this." "Mark... her?" Icarus sounded hesitant but the latter replied solemnly, "She is not fully yours
Kiara held back her anger and replied as calmly as possible, “That is because I am at Sophia’s house, father.” “Why?” He asked back almost immediately. Kiara was in a dilemma, she could not tell her father what Icarus did to her last night as she knew he would blame himself for her marriage. Her father was still recovering and was not strong enough to process such heavy emotions. She replied, “I had to prepare for my role and Sophia was helping me with it.” Her father seemed to have bought it but went on to explain, “It is a good thing that you are dedicating yourself to work but he is your husband. How will it look if he is attending the lunch all alone? He might not say it but it is embarrassing for him, Kiara.” The girl couldn’t help but clench her fist, “What should I do then?” “You are coming to lunch with him.” “I… But, father…” “No, I am not hearing another word. You are coming with him, I too will get to meet you.” When her father put it like this, she did not have an
Kiara felt disgusted by him touching her and she tried to distance herself from him. The man noticed this and clutched her tightly, further ignoring her attempts to escape.Lidia and Vanessa were on their ninth cloud seeing the necklace. It was the newest collection of ‘Primz’, a luxury jewelry brand owned by Icarus’s company. Lidia could already picture the envious eyes of her friends when they would see her donning it.“There was no need for this…” She said through her teeth. She closed it and put it back safely inside the bag. “You guys talk, I will go upstairs and keep it.”After seeing her mother leave, Kiara pushed him off herself and proceeded to sit down on a single-seater. Icarus pursed his lips, he was about to go over to her but was stopped by Vanessa, “Icarus, long time no see. You know how excited I was to meet you.”She proceeded to grab his arm but as soon as she did, his face turned ugly. He looked down at her coldly and said, “Take your hands off me.”The excitement t
The situation in the house was much better than she thought. Neither Chloe nor Martha probed her asking what had happened last night and treated her just like how they treat her every day.Kiara was getting bored, she had gone through her script half a dozen times and was no longer interested in looking at it again. She also remembered Icarus saying to her father that he was going out of town for two days which meant that he won’t be returning tonight.So, she decided to use the time and cook herself some dinner.When she came into the kitchen and announced that she was going to prepare the meal, the cook was shocked. She was hesitant but had to give in as it was their Luna demanding it.Kiara had a passion for cooking since a young age and when Harold got to know about it, he encouraged her by appointing a professional chef to properly train her. The girl put on her apron and got to work. She decided to make French cuisine tonight; her cooking method was executive and the delicious
Kiara stopped in her tracks immediately and asked herself to calm down. Once she pulled herself together, she turned around and said, "You forced me to come back home but you can't force me to sleep with you, Icarus.""How will your father feel about his daughter not even wanting to stay in the same room as her husband?" Icarus said.Kiara understood what he was trying to say and clenched her teeth, "Are you trying to threaten me?""I am not trying. I am threatening you." He said, "You are in my house and my wife. You will have to obey me unless you want divorce papers and contract termination sent to your father."Kiara glared at him but at last gave in. She walked up to the bed and climbed up. She laid down at the edge with her back turned against him.The room fell silent again and she could hear the crickets croaking outside. She closed her eyes when unexpectedly, he spoke up, "Are you asleep?"Kiara's mind went blank when she heard his question; she was not in the mood to reply s
"No, I too came just now." Kiara said, signalling for the girl to come inside. Sophia smiled and went straight to Icarus, she bought him some fruits and asked him about his health.What no one noticed was Luke awestruck in his spot. Without thinking anything, he got up from his seat and crashed their conversation, "Hey. Is this your friend?"Sophia stopped talking and looked over at Kiara, who explained, "Oh, you two must not know each other. She is Sophia, my best friend and manager. We have all known her since high school.""I see." He extended his arms to her and said, "I am Luke Bernard. It's nice to meet you."Sophia grinned and said, "Sophia Green."He said, "Kiara never told me she had such an attractive friend." This made the girl giggle and Robin raised an eyebrow. The beta noticed the way he was looking at her and felt that something was very usual.After talking for a while, Kiara said, "We will be off then. Please take care of yourself." She was about to turn around when S
