“Kiara!”
It was Cian’s voice, how sweet of him to try to stop her, but she wasn’t in the mood for any of his gestures, she needs to leave this place, and she needs to do it now. She didn’t even bother to turn back, ignored him and continued walking her path. He ran fast until he reached where she was.
“What are you doing Kiara? It’s night, and it’s not safe for you alone out there with all those rogues on the loose, alpha Lucas will kill me if anything happens to you!”
She turned.
“Thanks for worrying about me Cian, but I think I can handle myself out there. Nothing is worse than staying here.”
“Are you kidding? So, you’re just going to let what just happened allow you to endanger your life? All because you kissed someone you shouldn’t have?”
“You don’t know how it feels Cian, you don’t know how it feels
It had been a hell of a meeting, a meeting which lasted for almost two days. Lucas had just returned back to the packhouse and to his chambers that night, he met Ava on his bed, sleeping soundly. It was as if she sensed his presence, because her eyes fluttered open not too long after he walked in, she met his eyes staring at her.She sat up, letting out a yawn while stretching her arms before speaking to him.“How are you love? What was the meeting all about?”“It’s the peace ball.”The peace ball, she mumbled the word silently in her lips as she tried to recall what it was. She knows about the peace ball; she’d been taught so much about it during busk sessions, she remembered Luna Mitchell’s words in her head about the ball.‘The peace ball is the biggest and grandest occasion in which all pack leaders around the world gather to attend yearly. The ball was named after a peace
“Paul’s pregnant wife…Martha.”The sound of the name alone drained the blood away from Kiara’s face.‘I told you; there’s no point in telling her since she won’t agree to come,’ Cian scolded his wolf, Fionn, before continuing to speak to Kiara.“It’s ok. I understand perfectly if you can’t come. I will make sure alpha Lucas doesn’t know about it and I’ll speak to…”“No, it’s fine… I can handle being around her, besides… it was just a stupid kiss…. I’m sure she’s probably forgotten about it by now.” Of course, she would, she’s expecting a baby, Kiara would be the least of Martha’s problems now.Cian didn’t miss the way her voice stuttered.“Are you sure? I mean…”“No, seriously, its fine. I can’t keep running aw
“You have a really beautiful son,” Cian remarked as he congratulated the new parents, who lay on the tent carpet, cuddling their new baby. Martha carried their new son, Paul Junior in her arms, breastfeeding him with her head laid against Paul’s chest.“Thank you so much Beta Cian, thanks to your alpha too, I don’t know what would have become of our lives if he hadn’t helped us like this. He truly is a good leader.”Cian nodded his head. “You’re welcome, and I’ll make sure to deliver your message to the alpha as well.”“And also thank Nani and Kiara. They were wonderful today, especially Kiara.”“I will.”Cian nodded his head again as left the tent, travelling into his thoughts, he knew why Paul placed emphasis on Kiara even though Nani was the one who helped his wife deliver and then he thought of it again.While Martha was in labor,
He let go of her mouth for a while for them to catch their breaths, none of them believing what had just happened, neither did they understand it. The only thing they were sure of was how much more they wanted of each other, he craved her as much as she craved him. The warmth of Kiara's body had him breathe heavily but slowly, he coddled her like she never knew she needed to be coddled, impossibly gentle and present in it all.As he inhaled her delicious scent, he could feel his member begin to kick between his legs. He leaned in again and kissed her deep on the mouth, the taste of his tongue was everything she didn’t know she wished for. Her hands entwined him and pulled his body even closer, their lips pressed against each other until it was only two naked bodies locked together in motion on the tent ground. Cian felt his member go stiff as her rock-hard nipples pressed into his chest, as her icy breath blew gently into his ear, he then pressed a finger into her
“Good morning, Kiara.”“Good morning, alpha Lucas.” Kiara bowed upon entering his presence. Ava was in his inner chambers in his bedroom, while Lucas and Kiara where in the lounge, the outer chambers, but Ava could hear their conversation perfectly.“You requested to see me?”“Yes master.”“For what?”“I am terribly sorry for what I am about to say master, but I cannot continue going to the camps with Beta Cian master.”Lucas appeared puzzled, it was an offence to refuse any duty assigned to you by the alpha, but for Kiara, Lucas could always make an exception.“And why is that?” He asked softly.“Well, it’s just that I’m going through a lot right now…”Lucas let out a sigh. “Say no more Kiara, I understand. In fact, I apologize, I shouldn’t have tried to overwhelm you wit
“Why have you been avoiding me, Kiara?”She doesn’t have an answer to that question, she only responded with a blank face while her thoughts continued in her head. Why didn’t she see him on time? How easy it would have been for her to escape from this situation, but now she is trapped, with no other choice than to face him. She does not want to be here now, she’s not ready to face him, not after all that’s happened between them.Cian saw her expression, and held concern for her in his eyes. He let go of her hand and continued speaking to her softly, letting out a sigh first.“Alpha Lucas told me to relieve you of your assignments this morning. He says you’ve been facing some challenges.” Kiara held her gaze down, she didn’t feel like talking about this now, especially not with the man that caused her to feel like this. Cian continued speaking not withstanding her silence.
Clink-clink-clinkThe emcee of the occasion who was dressed in a white tux with a mask that complimented his outfit clinked the wine glass he held in his hand with a small spoon, calling the attention of the many guests who were gathered in their different tuxedos and ballgowns, their faces shielded by masks of various shapes and sizes. Ava was there too, wearing her gown and a peacock-feathered mask Lucas put on for her before the ceremony. Thanks to the help of Nani and the event planners, the hall where the ball was held was dazzling with gold decorations, fabrics and accessories, an ice sculpture of the treaty stood bold on the stage near the grand piano, everywhere looked spectacular, all the alpha’s thought this as they arrived, they knew they never made a mistake whenever they chose the decision to vote the dawn pack as the host every year.Alpha Lucas had never looked more charming dressed in his polish black tux, his rich dark hair was waxed backwa
‘You're in love with him!!!’ This can’t be happening, it wasn’t supposed to get to this point, the mate bond was one thing, love was another, but even though the mate bond was stronger, it didn’t come from her heart, but love did. Ava gasped, she had never felt love before, it was such an exciting feeling she regretted that she almost didn't want it to go away, the reason why it was almost was because these feelings in her heart, were for the last person she ought to feel for, the one who should be her number one enemy, her kidnapper, her abductor, the one took her away from her responsibilities, he took her, he took her wolf and now he’s done the worst of all; he’s taken her heart. This is not good, it’s not good at all because she doesn’t want to leave now when she ought to, if word got out that the moonlight pack’s supposed Luna was here instead of fulfilling her responsibilities, it would not be good at all for Ray because everyone would e
