~Kiki~
Moon Goddess, save me! Why was this even happening to me? I tried to calm myself down, but my heartbeat was going haywire looking at the commotion around me.
Hushed whispers and snarls filled the air as the angry pack members gathered at the venue. Most of the important meetings were conducted in the conference room with just the Alpha and his Council members, but today was different. I was chained and dragged to the center of the arena like a domesticated animal on display. Over three hundred pack members had gathered around; they all wanted to know what exactly happened, and almost all of them wanted me dead.
"She was stupid enough to bite the hand that fed her." I heard someone speak through the mind link.
Ivory looked at me like I was a ghost, or maybe some bloodthirsty demon who would rip her head off. Her sister was standing right next to her with the same pale face and shocked expression. She was too scared to even look at me.
What wa
~Kiki~No one had the guts to go against the Alpha command. The nasty grandma stormed out right behind her grandson when he refused to stop.What was he thinking? Cel, does his wolf feel the connection?Cel??She was groaning in pain, too weak to respond. I was hoping they would take these silver chains off me once I went into the dungeons. Cel was already in terrible condition. All her energy went into healing me from last night's injuries, despite the darn metal clawing at her. I could barely feel her anymore.What plans did the Alpha have for me? Why hadn't he killed me already? What if his grandma managed to convince him about torturing me until the next full moon? Many prisoners did get tortured in those hellholes."Bitch should be auctioned off to the pit fights." I heard Lexi sneer at me while discussing my fate."I heard the Dark River Pack's Alpha is looking for sex slaves. It would be fun to see him bewitched and do stupid t
~Kiki~A whoosh of cold air whipped through my hair as I hopped over a creek bed and raced deeper into the cypress grove. I inhaled sharply at the sound of ferocious growls that seemed to be approaching me faster than I liked.Shifting wasn't an option. They would be able to catch my scent much easily in my wolf form. Climbing awkwardly over a thick tree trunk, I rolled down a bluff and followed the Crystal River's course. I had never been to this part of the woods and felt much more comfortable sprinting by the water.The warrior's words played in my mind, telling me what a stupid move it was to run away. "We have orders from the Alpha's grandma to kill you if you try to escape."What the hell was I thinking? I couldn't outrun them forever. I would reach the pack borders soon and be caught by the patrol guards. Trackers must be approaching me from the packhouse already if they had been alerted. I will soon be surrounded by the wolves from at least three
~Alpha Kayden~The glow in Kiki's eyes mellowed down as her pupils returned to normal. They glowed for me in lust I guess. Maybe I should be scared like the others were, but Axel was drawn to them like a magnet. They evoked some deep carnal desires inside me, compelling me to go down on my knees and make her mine.Resisting the urge to kiss her again, I stepped away from her. The hurt in those eyes clenched my heart. Axel begged me to take her into my arms and assure her I wasn't scared of her. It wasn't just Axel who wanted her right now."She's working her magic on you, Alpha. I don't think you should be alone with her."I didn't think it was a good idea to be alone with her either. That swollen nub under her wet panties would definitely not let me sleep tonight. I wanted to fuck her right now, hard and fast up against the wall. I needed to get out of this trance but didn't really want to."Move her to the prison by Pier 37. And do-not-hurt-her."
~Kiki~Gusts of cool wind blew through the tall window of the prison cell as I sat bundled up on my bed, wrapped in several layers of a long, thick blanket. Pale moonlight streamed through while the crashing sea waves were lulling me to sleep.There was a strange comfort in being close to the ocean. The thought of having more frequent nightmares terrified me when Alpha Kayden mentioned Pier 37. I wasn't prepared to watch myself battling consciousness on that stormy night, looking for mamma. But I didn't get that dream even once after being moved here.My dreams were instead filled with sinful things I wanted to do to the Alpha. I was too shy to touch him much when he came to my bedroom on my birthday. He was very gentle and patient with me until much later in the night. But it was the rough, relentless touches that had kept me awake every night. How I regretted not running my hand over the bulge in his gray sweatpants when he pushed me against the prison wall to
~Alpha Kayden~Zeke sounded like Kiki was up to no good. But all Axel and I could think about was if she was okay. She had barely recovered from her wounds from the silver chains. I hated to drag her back to the dungeons, or even worse, to have to pass the death sentence. I couldn't keep overlooking her actions just because of an illogical gut feeling or because Axel wanted to think with his dick.He was super agitated right now, clawing at me to come out so we could reach Pier 37 faster. It was located three miles west of the packhouse, but I couldn't waste time going to the parking lot. The coconut groves and sandy beaches were a blur as we sprinted straight towards the prison while I quickly linked my Gamma, Nash, to come over. He was living it up at a seaside club because it was Friday night.I skidded to a stop when I saw Kiki from a distance, looking from over the wooden dock into the waters. My heart gave me a break when it realized she was fine; at least
~Alpha Kayden~Fuck!What was Victoria doing here? This was one of the worst nightmares coming true.Sienna's sister was as strong as Sienna. And I don't think Kiki would stand a chance until the next full moon.Since Victoria got permission from the Alpha King, I wouldn't have any say in it. An Alpha King's command could supersede every Alpha's command. And when it was about avenging their blood, Alpha King Kian was all for it.When his twin brother was still alive and leading the Storm Moon Pack, Alpha Kian was a peace loving, unambitious alpha who disappeared from the pack for days with his mate. He returned from one such trip to find out a neighboring pack, the Silver claw pack, tricked and brutally murdered his brother. Alpha Kian waged a war and wiped out the entire Silver claw pack out of rage.The Alpha King at that time didn't condone Alpha Kian's actions. In fact, he punished Alpha Kian for ruthlessly killing an entire pack by stri
~Kiki~ Beads of sweat matted Cel's fur while my heart was thudding against my rib cage as we locked our eyes with Victoria's mighty looking wolf. Her eyes were burning amber, radiating pure hatred and blinded with rage. She was harnessing this misdirected hatred to fuel her moves. Part of me was awed by how beautiful her wolf looked, while the other half of me was terrified of her strength and the will to defeat me. But it was just me who was scared out of my wits. Because, unlike me, Cel was pissed. She couldn't believe we had to defend ourselves to stay alive just because of some terrible circumstantial evidence against us. How cruel could fate get? I was tired of fighting it, but Cel was determined to show Victoria and all the spectators, as well as the bloody fate, that she wouldn't accept defeat so easily. Shifting first during a fight was a sign of weakness, and Cel was feeling anything but weak. That was the only reason keeping her from taking over. She was clawing at me to
~Alpha Kayden~"You didn't let the white wolf get Kiki's jugular. She's going to be fine, Alpha. You should get some rest." The pack doctor uttered these words as cautiously as he could for the dozenth time over the last few days. Three days...It had been almost three long days and Kiki had been in the critical care all this while, with no sign of waking up anytime soon. All the cuts and bruises on her body seemed to have healed, except for two gashes that ran deeper. The torn ligament in her leg didn't need wrapping anymore. I ran my fingers over a stitched-up wound and realized her skin was still burning up. Ignoring the doctor and my beta's eyes that were boring into me, I leaned over Kiki's bed to caress her hair. Soft brown curls framed her sun-kissed face, which looked paler than ever.Long shadows of the setting sun seeped through the glass window, casting a warm, hazy glow all over the hospital suite. This is where I had spent most of my last few days and nights, but today's
