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,
Chapter75Mary's pov.I slowly blinked my eyes open, my vision still blurry when I found myself somewhere I had never been before.At first, I didn't take it as anything, but when memories of what happened flashed before my eyes, I gasped, darting my eyes around because I didn't know where I was.Last I recall, I was in the forest screaming because I was in pain.My eyes immediately rushed to the door when it was pushed open,and I saw a lady with a tray filled with medications.The moment she set my eyes on me, she dropped the tray she was holding, and rushed away from the place before I even got the chance to ask anymore questionsMy heart was drumming fast, and I got confused. I was wondering what exactly was going on. I tried to calm myself , and pushed myself out of bed to see what was going on. However, as I got to the door, I was greeted with the chest of a man.Thankfully, I halted before I could slam my face, but then when I raised my face, I cowered in fear because I had seen
Chapter76Kira's POV.I jolted out of my sleep due to the presence I felt in the room, my heart banging like crazy. I didn't know what else to do, so I decided to watch what he was going to do to me with a massive lump on my throat.It was useless to fight against him, and I wondered how many others were going to get hurt because of me.Because of me, Lucian, and Mary both lost their lives, and this monster doesn't give a damn about it.My hearts tinged with pain when I saw him, but he had a smirk, and didn't seem to want to leave my side.“You seem scared,” he spoke, moving close to me.I stiffened, trying so hard not to make the wrong move. I was in pain due to the constant torture for my disobedience.I either got slapped, or beaten. I wasn't sure if he was in love with me anymore. It was purely lust. The Alpha wasn't himself anymore. He wasn't the Aric I used to know, not like I cared. I only cared about Lucian.“Aren't you going to say something?” He sat down on the bed, making ev
Chapter77Aaron's POV.I stared at her from where I stood, while she looked at the window. Her recovery seemed faster than usual, but it wasn't clear to me why I couldn't stop staring at her. There was just something about her that brought her closer to me. “M-mary?” I finally called with worry on my face. There was no doubt. That there was something wrong. She seemed to be lost in thought for a while. Besides that, she was a wolf, and couldn't even notice my presence.“Oh, um…” She blinked twice, trying to understand whatever I was saying in the first place. “I'm sorry. Have you been there for a long period of time?” she asked with raised brows, making me nod?She looked super innocent, but whenever she stood there lost in thought, I felt like there was nothing I could do about it.“Mary, you're thinking way too much. I know it's not easy, but you have to put yourself together. Besides, we are going to save Kira, but if you–” She continued speaking with me. “Don’t recover on time,
