To gain the trust of your alpha was a good thing, but it also had its own disadvantages; the main of which was Lucas assigning Kiara on different tasks, not all of which were convenient for her. She’d already done what he’d asked her before, making friends with Ava and helping her through her transition, but now here he was giving her another duty, the one she could not refuse because it had been assigned to her from the alpha of the dawn pack and not as Lucas, her ex-lover, and it was because he held her in high regard. She felt honored of course, but did he really think it a good idea to give her such responsibilities in such short time? Maybe he wanted her to use it to get her mind off things, but she hadn’t mentioned anything about her depression to him, she sulked.
Today, she was to accompany Cian to the new camp set up by Filip and his men, they were to deliver food supplies and herbs for the inhabitants of the
“Hey,” he smiled at her as he entered the bathroom, she was seated in the tub, bathing herself, her naked sexy slippery body had every inch of him throbbing.She smiled back and reached out her arms, “come and join me.”Of course, there was nothing he wanted more than that, he even wanted it more than her; to get in there with her and fuck her right there in the tub, continue from where they left off last night, but he couldn’t, he knew that if he gave into his desires now, he wouldn’t go to that meeting today.“I’m sorry Ava, but I can’t.”She frowned, “but why?”“I have to go to somewhere important right now, the supreme messenger delivered a message from the supreme council this morning, I was supposed to see the messenger yesterday but I wasn’t around so he came today.”The supreme council? They never called unless it was an ur
Cian and Kiara had just arrived at the camps; they had been driving the whole day without any breaks because of the urgency. It was a bit exhausting but they were glad that the journey was finally over, they’d spend the night here and tomorrow, they’d be back on their way to the dawn pack. Kiara watched as Cian gave orders to the servants who were now offloading the supplies from the trucks to take to the tents. She decided to find a way to help, going to one of the trucks and removing two folded tents from the supplies so she could find a place for her and Cian to camp after they were done attending to the refugees.As she was walking around the field, she saw a very familiar face, a face she didn’t expect to see, she dropped everything she was holding in her hand and pinned her gaze on that face. Was she dreaming? No, it couldn’t be, could it? It was him; it was truly him, that scent, that face, she never forgot it. Her mate… her Paul wa
“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
