Kira's POV.Christine was back and I knew that because I was staring at her seated comfortably in class as she looked at the lecturer with keen interest. She didn't give me a call that she had gotten back. She didn't even step out of her locked room when I visited her house. Something was most definitely not right. Since she got back from God knows where, she had been ghosting me like I didn't matter. She attended classes every day, but I hardly got the chance to speak with her because before the class gets over, she would leave the class as fast as possible. I asked myself; was she hiding from me or was she avoiding me? I had done absolutely nothing wrong, so there was no need for that. I had had enough. I was going to speak with her and it was either she punched me in the face or she tells me what is wrong. I waited for the class to be over and I rushed outside, waiting for her yoShe was surely going to get out of the class and she was going to tell me the reason for the childishn

Kira's POVI tossed to the other side of the bed. It was cooler than the former, but it soon became hot again. I was uncomfortable and wanted sleep, but I couldn't get it. I didn't have a problem getting sleep, but it felt different that night.Out of frustration, I sat up from my bed. There was a sound by my window and I turned to look at it with my tired eyes. I gasped. There was someone there, but I couldn't decipher who. The person was so swift that the moment I turned, no one was there anymore.I stood up from my bed immediately and wore my flip-flops. I was sure I saw something and I was scared to my bones. Someone had been watching me while I slept.I ran to a part of the room which was far from the window and stood there as my heartbeat increased rapidly. I couldn't help but ask who it was and what the person wanted from me.Slowly, I started slipping through the wall to my window side, carefully not to make a noise. I wanted to take the person by surprise. I got to my window

Austin's POV.It was cowardly of me to leave after finding my mate, but I couldn't face her especially when I had called her a liar multiple times. She was once a human, but I was certain my wolf sensed her wolf.How did it happen? The most amusing part was how she turned out to be my mate. I had thought I was going to be mateless for the rest of my life, but Selene then decided to mate me with a girl who I had pushed away so much. Now what? I asked myself. I was so used to being mateless. I had a mate now and I didn't know how to go about with it. If I accepted her as my mate which I had to, then what? I wasn't even sure of her sanity with the multiple stories she kept bringing up about Kira. “You didn't go to classes today?" I heard and turned to look at Derek who made his way to where I was seated on the boulevard."I did" I replied bluntly. I canceled all my classes for the day when I found out the girl I disliked so much was my mate. I was down, but Huxley my wolf, was too deli

Christine's POVMy eyebrow knitted in confusion as I stared at him. I didn't know where the courage I got came from. I stood up from where I was, peering my eyes at him, without showing a single atom of fear. It was as if all my fear left the moment he said I should bring Mirabel to him.“What do you mean by that?"There was a lady there who spoke up. I didn't even realize her the first time I walked into the room.“It's okay" she smiled at me as she walked towards me, but her smile didn't make me trust her a bit. “We are family now, you don't have to act so tensely"“Families don't kidnap its members." I glared at her. “We are not family"She turned to look at the man who appeared to be the leader of the supposed cult. They all looked creepy. The most normal looking one was Jace. He was less distorted.“When last did you feed, you look sick" one of the men asked. He had very dark hair with the palest skin of all of them."I am not one of you. I am not a monster”Jace gave off his sig

Kira's POVI clutched my book to my chest as I walked like my life was over. I didn't care if people stared at me. I didn't just see the need to hide my misery. Austin had ghosted for a whole day since he found out I was his mate. He probably couldn't come to terms with me being his mate. I couldn't tell if it was his ego or if he was scared of something. Whichever it was, I wished he would tell me to my face once and for all, and I'd just move on with my life.Speaking of the devil, Austin was right in front of me, approaching me, but I didn't act like I saw him. I wanted to walk past him but he held me back. His eyes were soft almost as if he was pleading with me to listen to what he had to say.I wanted to ignore him, but Anabelle was as stubborn as me. “What is it Austin?" I asked with a casual demeanor when in a real sense, I was dying on the inside.“I want to talk to you" he sounded too demanding, I hated it. “You are speaking to me now"“Not here, can we..."I didn't let him
