Kiara's povHatred churned and rolled inside my heart as I sat in the shabby coach with my little boy in my arms. He had a lost look in his eyes, as if he just woke up from a nap.I felt so much hatred that it consumed me every waking moment and most of my sleeping moments as well. My nightmares have been filled with dreams in which I took my revenge on the man who made me go through all this shit. Every day I watch as all the dreams I have set for myself crumble before my eyes, one after the other. If there was something I wanted desperately, it would be to turn the hands of the clock back to the day my grandmother suddenly collapsed. That very day marked the beginning of my mystery.If I had insisted and stood by my decision to attend that party at the biviclub that very night, maybe my life would have been better.

Kiara's povI held Dan in my arms tightly once I left the hospital. Grabbing extra blanket to hold to cover his body closely. The weather is getting more cold maybe because it's already Christmas period. I can count how many times I have had a special Christmas celebration. Back when I was a little girl, I'd walk around the road and jump on my toes like a ballerina, then I enjoyed the cold breeze which would usually sweep my hair to and fro until they cover my face. One special feature I had then which I was so sure the other kids were so jealous of it's my hair. It was long and flowing, black and straight that even a slight wave gets it flowing. I never need to apply oil on it to make it shine and glow neither do I have to kill myself before I could be able to comb my hair, I little brushing leaves it straight again. Because of this, I never miss those moment when I will run on my toes and dance like ballerinas during windy weather. We made our way to our inexpensive one room bedroo
KIARA'S POV"You are a werewolf, and no werewolf should be without a pack.""What?" I asked. I was so stunned and lost by what he was saying that I even tilted my neck to my sides and then to the back; unfortunately, no one else was near enough, so definitely, he must be talking about me then."I mean, this is not the right place for you to be in; it's not healthy with your cute baby, okay?""Oh, thank you; I am fine." "Thanks for your help and concerns," I replied back sharply. I didn't need his help because I didn't have anything to give him in return. "You should... I mean, take a look at what just happened and imagine if I hadn't come to save you. We both don't know what would have become of you and your baby."I can't. "And if you think you can bug me around and disturb my little peace just because you happened to help me out, then I probably should pay you a monetary reward for your help," I told him bluntly and made my way inside, but he wouldn't stop persuading me. "Okay...
KIARA'S POVI starred at the card and more cautiously at the man who gave it to me as he was moving out . He stopped in front of a black tinted glass ride. Mere looking at it will tell you that it's worth thousands of dollars or even millions. It was dark better than the one Mateo got me which I sold for ninety - five thousand dollars. His door was closed by his driver once he entered the passenger's seat. And the car zoomed off at a normal speed.The card in my hand looked so genuine and the name on it sounded so familiar. Brinn's cucina, unfortunately I can't recall where I heard the brand name. I went inside to my little apartment and sat on the mattress which was the only possession I could manage to buy when I got to California. My ticket from Italy to the US took almost half of the money I raised from the sell of my car. Not like I didn't have more to rent a better apartment, I had open a savings account in the bank for Dan. I wouldn't want him to be denied if every privileges
Kiara's povI starred at the card and more cautiously at the man who gave it to me as he was moving out. He stopped in front of a black, tinted glass car.

KIARA'S POVWe drove in total silence. I kept my steady gaze either on the road or in Dan's face. The courage to start a conversation was something I didn't have at the moment. I noticed that occasionally he stole a glance at me. I can definitely never tell a stranger about my past and then end up shedding tears that would make me look pathetic. Besides, I can't trust anyone now. I had to try very hard to trust myself, and presently, all the trust I could give has been exhausted. "I... hope I am not making it feel awkward?" By the way, my name is Daniel. You can say Dan for short: "His throaty, deep voice echoed, and that reminded me of Mateo." I looked up at him, realizing he wanted to break the awkward silence we had been through."Kiara," I replied bluntly, avoiding eye contact while he nodded."And your baby?" "She looks so innocent and beautiful," he said, turning his gaze at San, and at that instant, I drew him closer to myself and breathed in her scent, which was a mixture of
MATEO'S POVIt has been almost a year since I last saw Kiara. Everyday, I wake up with the hope of going back to her or even seeing her across the road. Even if I don't get to talk to her, I will be equally happy, and my mind will have been put at ease. Those past months felt like decades to me, and the worst of it is that I can't seem to be forgetting her very soon. I hate the feeling of not knowing where my Kiara has gone. Whether she was safe at all, whether she was dead or alive,I rarely let anyone know how Kiara's departure affected me. I still couldn't conclude that it was my fault, even when guilt was killing me from the inside. She made the right decision after all—who would like to be with a bad jerk like myself? It was almost impossible to see that. I thought maybe after her departure I would feel better, but time makes it worse. I miss her every damn day that I manage to wake up without seeing my lousy angel with me. On a normal day, she would wake me up from sleep with a
