Kiara's pov "Doctor please can you save him?" The doctor looked at me with pity saying that he was going to do everything he could but it wasn't looking very good for my father as he turned around and dashed into the ICU unit before I could settle into the waiting room Bryant and my mother quickly arrived to the scene and by that time he is really running down my face. I had no idea that man would ever be able to take a bullet for me. I thought he wouldn't even care if I died so listening to the advice that he gave me didn't seem to make any sense. Tears were coming down heavily even as Bryant wrapped his hands around me and my mother kept pleading to me what happened. So through my tears, I was able to narrate everything to my mother and the father of my children and I watched as their faces gradually became pale then my mother came over to me touching my cheek. "Are you saying that man really took a bullet for you?" My mother asked me and honestly, I wasn't surprised that she w
KIARA'S POVI nervously fidgeted with the hem of my sweater as I sat across from the alpha’s imposing desk. The room was luxurious, filled with leather chairs and mahogany bookshelves, a stark contrast to the humble factory I'd worked at before. I swallowed hard and tried not to be intimidated by the sheer wealth of the man in front of me.I had grown up knowing just my mother. My father had left us when I was just five years old, leaving us to fend for ourselves. My mother worked hard to provide for us, and I had always known that we didn't have much, but we are happy.I was a young lady who believed in hard work, so when the time came for me to begin working, I worked hard, putting in all my best, and preparing for college.But all that changed when my Mother fell ill. Lydia, my Mother, had fallen off due to an accident in the marketplace and had since suffered Paralysis.I had worked day and Night trying hard so I could fend for my Mother, and myself. Being an only child, and a bre
BRYANT'S POVI stared angrily as Kiara flinched in dear. She irritated me. And my father just had to come and make me feel even worse.I pranced around the office, my mind dispersed. My wolf wanted to mark Kiara there and then but I remembered the promise I made to Anna.Anna Morris. She is my Fiance.A woman of Class, beautiful, intelligent, and someone who was goal driven. Kiara was nothing like her.And I could never trade her for Kiara either, just because of some dumb stupid mate bond thing.Never.Urgh, I can’t take anymore of this suspense. I have to put a call through to Anna.I called her line, both Personal, and Office, but she was picking none of them. I sighed in frustration.Dad was already angry at the fact that I chose to reject my mate, and now Anna was not even picking up my calls.Anna called back immediately some minutes later and I picked it up on the first ring.“Hi, my love. I need to talk to you urgently.” I said and she sighed"What's wrong, Bryant? I’m extreme
POV: Kiara Stardust. I sat on the pavement across the street, my heart sunken. All my hope for a better life was gone within the space of minutes. Why did the moon goddess have to make the Alpha my mate? I thought that dreaming of Cinderella's life was going to help me. I believe in getting married to a prince and living happily ever after. But here I was, my life tumbling down, going in circles. I sighed and started to walk towards my second workplace, a small diner. “Good evening, Mr. Liam.” I greeted the manager as I entered the diner. He acknowledged my greetings with a nod. I walked into the changing room and changed into the diner shirt with an apron. “Nicole! Table four needs a waitress.” I heard as I walked out of the changing room. “ "Got it!” I said as I walked to the table. “Good evening, Sir and Ma’am. Welcome to Happy stomachs diner. What will you be ordering?” I said as politely as I could. Both of them, Male and Female, picked up the menu at once. They looked to
BRYANT'S POVI was sitting in my office, going over some paperwork when Anna walked in. I could tell from the look on her face that she had something important to tell me.“Babe! When did you get here?” I asked as she walked in. I hugged her and kissed her.Her face looked sour."What's going on?" I asked, setting aside the papers."I think I have a solution to our problem," Anna said, sitting down across from me."What problem?" I asked, feeling confused."The problem of you needing to get married," she clarified. "I think I have a solution that will work for everyone.”I raised an eyebrow, curious about what she had in mind. "The only solution is for you to come and let's get married, Anna. If that’s not the solution you have, I’m not listening to you" I said and went back to staring at my paperwork.“Just hear me out, first, yeah?” Anna said and I stared at her and sighed.“What is your solution, Anna?” I asked and she sighedAnna took a deep breath before speaking. "I think you sh
KIARA'S POV.I woke up in my room, feeling a sense of dread wash over me. Today was the day I would see Bryant and Anna again. As much as I hated the thought of being in the same room as them, I couldn't avoid it. As his fated mate, I was expected to attend all the pack meetings and events.It had been Three weeks since Bryant brought me to his house to stay with him, as some contract wife.Contract wife my feet. I was more like a slave. Everyone here looked down on me and treated me like I was nobody, even the maids.The worst was Bryant and his Fiancee, Anna Morris.Bryant and Anna had been together for years, and their engagement had been announced not long after I had come into the picture.I knew it wasn't right, but I couldn't help the feelings I had for Bryant. The connection between us was undeniable, but it seemed that Anna had made it her mission to make me feel worthless and unwanted.Bryant might be my mate, but his heart and feelings belonged only to Anna, and Anna made s
BRYANT POV I pushed a strand of hair that had fallen off of my fated mate's face, my entire body was burning up and her breathing was ragged. I turned over to the family doctor, the distress in my voice impossible to hide."Is she going to be okay?"I asked him and then he nodded that showing me it's not a terminal illness, "...just a small fever with enough rest and her taking the drugs that I have prescribed she'll be fine," he added before he left. The more I was looking at my mate the more I could feel the fury inside of me burning like a freshly lit fire that was being fed with Cole immensely, I remained in the bedroom with her for some time slowly calming myself down because I knew that if I stepped out and see my cousin Oscar I was going to do something that he was definitely going to regret.How dare he touch what belongs to me?As my fingers tightened up into a shaking fist I wondered if my cousin had any idea how lucky he was because if he had been able to succeed with hi
BRYANT POV Even though my foolish cousin was trying to appear knuckle and I could see the fear that was masquerading as nonchalance in his eyes as he was slowly backing away from me then he was looking at my grandma and father possibly for protection for what was definitely coming to him. "I really don't know what he's talking about, you all have to believe me…""Of course, we believe you!" my grandma said, rushing to stand in front of him and spreading her hands out protectively."How can you even think of hurting your cousin over the words of a wench? that's just preposterous!" I gritted my teeth and then I looked over to my father hoping for some reason from him.But he just crossed his hands and told me that my cousin was the kind of guy that could get any woman he wanted so I didn't make any sense that he would be trying to force himself on anyone. My blood pressure shot up when I heard this and it was even worse when my grandma added in."Yes my grandson is not such a perver
