Kira's povI rock back and forth on my heels as ceaseless thoughts of why Lucian has been cold to me ran through my mind. “Maybe I should confront him,” I muttered to myself, striding out of my room and walking towards his. The closer I got, the more my pulse raced. “What if it goes wrong?” My subconscious asked the moment I raised a hand to rap on the door, and I paused. Taking in a sharp breath, and ignoring the pounding of my heart against the walls of my chest, I knocked on the door, listening for an invitation. However, I heard footsteps, folloeed by the door being opened.“Come,” his voice held a tinge of dominance, causing goosebumps to run down my arms. Swallowing a ball of saliva with the hopes of pushing down the lump wedged in my throat, I pushed the door open and slowly walked into thre room. My heart leapt the moment his blue eyes met mine. They held a resolute look that wavered the moment they saw me. He leaned against the headboard of his bed, and my stomach churned
CHAPTERKira POVfew days later...I had a splitting headache and it made me really angry with everything. I couldn't count on the pack doctor at this point, as I had already thrown up this morning. Dizziness had been the major theme of my body as well.I heard a knock on the door and Mary stepped in with a smile on her face, which would immediately fade away, the moment she saw my face."Why do you look different?" She asked, but the nausea was too much for me to explained things to her. "Kira? Is Lucian aware about your ailment though?" She asked and I shook my head to say yes to her. "Then why isn't he with you?" Mary asked "Because he went to get the pack doctor. I think they said something along the lines of the pack doctor having a busy schedule." I barely managed to speak "Busy schedule? What other schedule would be busy for him not to attend to you?" I didn't even want to make reply, I was to weak."What exactly is wrong with you. I might just guess what is wrong after all.
CHAPTERLucian's POV The man's screams echoed in the the room.His head injury was bleeding, blood leaking from his sides, I turned my head and sighed.He had soiled himself twice already and I hadn't even gotten to to the best part yet.Trailing the knife on his jaw, I smiled a sadistic smile that had him wiggling in the iron chair he was on, trying to loose the chains which bound him."Sit still!" I commanded.I didn't normally torture hunters. I just killed them when I come across them, but recently, the hunters have gotten too close for comfort. I needed to send a message.'Don't Tempt me, I'm the ruthless Alpha for a reason' I said in my mind."You know, it was really stupid of you to play dead" I told him, and he nodded continuously, agreeing with my statement."Did you think you would be able to escape out with such an act like that?" I asked and he shook his head."Nnn...oo...” "Well, I'm going to assume that you want to live, and I'm going give you the chance to survive. Tha
Kira's pov We raced through the underbrush, branches whipping at my face and clawing at my clothing. I could hear the wolves drawing closer, its feet pounding the earth with a relentless rhythm."We're almost there!" Mary panted, her voice tinged with desperation.And then, just as I thought we were lost, I saw it. A clearing in the woods, a silver car in the middle of the woods."The keys are in the ignition," Mary gasped, shoving me towards the vehicle. "Get in and drive!"But no matter what we tried, the car refused to start, so we decided to use our legs.The world around me was a blur of noise and motion, my mind reeling from the chaos that had erupted all around us. I clutched my swollen belly protectively as Mary's firm grip guided me through the dense forest, away from the battle that was raging.My heart pounded with fear and confusion. Where were we going? What had happened to Lucian? Was he safe? I wanted to turn back, to see for myself, but Mary's voice was insistent, urgi
Kira's pov.I didn't realize what happened. The truth was that it was Lucian we saw, and he had someone very familiar with him, Gary. However, the stench of blood I perceived, made me aware that he was injured.“Lucian?” I moved away from behind Mary, rushing towards him with worry on my face as I wondered what was going on. He seemed to be trying to be alright.He didn't even bother to answer whatever I had said, going straight to the reason why he came here.“We have to leave now!” I heard the urgency in his tone. However, I couldn't just bring myself to ask what was happening.“Jonas, thank you for your help, but you also can't stay here. Aric, and his men refused to give up. We have to keep going, He explained, making me shiver in fear.Does that mean Aric won? I pondered, but was snapped out of thoughts when she turned towards me with a frown on her face.“We don't have time, Kira. Didn't you hear Lucian?” Mary asked, but I didn't get the chance to answer because she pulled me tow
Chapter72Kira's povI jolted out from my sleep, my chest moving like the sound of my drumming heartbeat“Damn it!” I yelled, feeling pains all over. My legs ached from the constant running. However, I was still caught by him.Images of Aric's deeds popped into my head, making me terrified.The way Mary was killed before my eyes made me cry like there was no tomorrow.After challenging, and telling him that the moon was stronger than him, he got so furious.Aric growled at me, pinning me to the bed with his body pressed against mine.“Don’t you dare say that to me. The moon can't help you, Lucian can't help you, and not even Mary. Do you understand?!” Aric inquired, pressing my neck so tight.I tried to struggle with him, but he was way too strong, making tears trickle down my eyes.Fear gripped me, and I noticed how he freed me feel his tight grip when he noticed I was in pain. However, his hands were still on my neck.“You don't know how much I missed you. Why did you allow that fool
Chapter73Aric's pov.I sat there with worry on my face. The fact that she didn't want me to come near her was heartbreaking.A sigh let my lips, and my heart ached in pain. I was confused, but then I couldn't override my excitement after defeating Lucian.I rushed into the pack house with a worried look on my face. My heart leaped in my chest as I thought of whatever happened that day.We attacked the pack Almost immediately, leading an army unexpectedly. The shadow moon pack wasn't expecting what we did to them, and even their Alpha, and his men couldn't stand it.A laugh left my lips as I recalled the way I killed him.Lucian made me chase him despite him being injured. Dying was supposed to be done without a fight,but Lucian wasn't that kind of man.When he finally stopped, I noticed blood trickling down from his sides. His lips were pressed together as if to subdued the pain that had overwhelmed him.I laughed, taking slow steps towards him when I noticed the part of the woods he
Chapter74Aaron's pov.I knew what had happened, I had friends who gave me information on what was going on.However, I never knew he would be able to pull it off. I thought he wasn't going to pull through with the plan, but it seemed like things went his way.“The Alpha captured Kira, his mate, and Mary, but unfortunately, he killed Mary, and sent men to throw her body in the woods,” the man who gave me information explained with worry on his face.“The Alpha has gone rogue…” I explained with a deep frown on my face, and he nodded. “I don't think you'll be leaving here anytime soon. The mercy of the Alpha faded the moment you decided not to support him.” He explained, making me sigh. I didn't support him for a reason. I couldn't stand back, and watch the innocent people die. I had tried my best to make sure that happend well enough, but it didn't.“You have to escape. You have to make sure that he doesn't see you here because he might end up killing you, or keeping you here forever,
