** CIARA'S POV** Hey… kick… will… punch… you… slap… get… kick… up.I was woken up by the severe pain from the beating of the pack members. They saw that I already woken up and yet they decided to keep beating me until I began to see black dots… I fell unconscious again.**I opened my eyes sharply immediately I felt the sting of hot water on the injuries on my body. I opened them to see a pair of green eyes piercing into my blue eyes as if they were trying to find something in it. I instantly knew who those pair of eyes belonged to ; Beta Lucas, I saw him holding a bucket in his hands.‘Wait, how did I get here?’I was at my house, well, more of a small room.The pack members must have brought me to the pack house but where are they now?.‘None of my business'I rose up to my feet quickly knowing I would receive another round of beating if I was not quick and then I met  anger written all over the Alpha Xander's face.‘Ah!, I’m in so m

**CIARA'S POV**As we got to the class, I dropped their bags and went to sit at the far end of the class because that is where I was told to always sit.Not minding the stares from my classmates, I settled down and brought out a notebook. The teacher came in and taught. I had two more classes then I left to prepare for Nicole's homecoming party.As I was leaving, it started raining and I did not have an umbrella or money to board a cab. I walked home under the rain despite being drenched by it. Well, unfortunately for me, I caught a cold. Then I remembered that I have to prepare for Alpha Xander's younger sister, Nicole, homecoming party. I jerked up disregarding the pain I was feeling immediately. I sneezed and rubbed my nose then I headed for the packhouse. I started preparing for the party which will be held tonight.After I was done with the cleaning, I helped the decorators, I washed and cleaned the wine cups and bottles.*The party already starte

**CIARA'S POV**Waking up this morning, I was not feeling well. Like I was having this weird feeling in my guts. I shrugged it off and went into the bathroom."Oh moon goddess, make this day trouble free day for me." I said joining my two hands together and closing my eyes.After I was done with my dressing, I carried my little school bag. I remember it was given to me by a pack member, he wanted to put it into the trash can but then he kind of remembered that there was an omega that could use the trash instead, I collected it since I did not have a choice.After preparing breakfast, I left the pack house and headed for school. On getting to school, i met a lots of students, some were chatting while some were reading, sometimes i wished we had not gone for that picnic, i wished i had not agreed to persuade the Alpha. I wished i could be with my friends just the way everyone is, have best friend , hang out with your male friends, go to night clubs an

**XANDER'S POV**"I never knew you went through something like that." Eunice said and smiled pitifully at me."It is okay, I have been facing it, that is why i must protect Nicole at all cost." I said. I have been fighting an inner battle with Killian. He wants to mark his mate but I don't want to force her."I want to mark you." Killian said after pulling the last string and finally won.She was taken aback by his husky voice."What was that?" She asked. I cannot reply her because our handsome gentleman, Killian, is attending to her.“Hi, I am Killian and I am his wolf." He said and smiled at her.Dummy! I scoffed."Ohh, hi." She said shyly. She calmed down a bit but I could sense her nervousness."Should we go for a run?" He asked after a while."Run?" She asked."Yeah, run in the woods, you know." He said with a smile. Gosh my wolf has been whipped which is now affecting me."Okay, how

**NICOLE'S POV**"Wakey, wakey." I heard Eunice call out from my deep sleep.I opened my eyes slowly."Sleepyhead." She said as she opened some package of food she had brought for me."I brought you some food." She said as she begin to serve it into a plate for me."You are quite happy this morning." I said and smiled.She smiled. I looked around and saw my brother also."Oh brother, never knew you were here." I said.He smiled."Ugh, looks like they've already reconciled." I thought."No longer fighting, huh?" I asked and raised an eyebrow.Xander went closer to Eunice and gave a small peck on her cheek."What does it look like?" He asked and smirked.Wait, did i just see something on Eunice's neck?"How are you feeling?" Xander asked."I am fine." I said, still looking at her neck. She noticed it and covered it. A shade of pink appearing on her cheek.I moved my hands to her neck, i removed her hands t
