Not My Alpha: Fated Mistake IX: Fake
-Kira-Today I woke up with an empty feeling right in the middle of my chest, it gnawed at my heart and left me breathless. Now as I watch my wedding dress disappear in a breath of flames, that emptiness has spread over my entire body.I feel numb, but I refuse to shed another tear./“We’ll be okay, Kira,”/ Yailyn, my wolf says with her ears flattened against her head. /“We’ll find a way back to our family.”/I sigh. /“I hope so. We’ll just have to be strong through this. We have good allies here.”/Luka has his arms wrapped protectively around me, but he’s not grieving like I am. He’s seething. After years of Luka not having a man to call his father, my uncle finally gave up on his search for his daughter, Kaia. Uncle Konstantin, aunt Lily, and Luka started getting closer, their bond repairing day by day. Until last night when we were both forced to flee our home. My father wanted us to run and not fight because he knew the hunters would overpower us. He knew he could trust the Vega
Not My Alpha: Fated Mistake X: Call
-Kira-I haven’t seen Arkyn all day. Not only have I been restless and anxious, but Jade’s uncalled-for bitchiness is getting to me as well. I tried to talk to her late afternoon, and she just brushed me off, so now here I am, cooking because I need to do SOMETHING.Our conversation with Alpha Fenriz left me with more questions than answers, and now it might be true that Adryan had our bond tampered with. He’s not my true mate; I can feel it in my gut, but that leaves me with the question as to who is. /“There is someone…”/ Yailyn teases me with her words as if I hadn’t already thought about it. The way I felt about Arkyn has not subsided even after meeting my supposed mate. Could it be that Arkyn is my true mate? I suppose I’ll never know until my bond to Adryan is severed. “Keeping busy?” Luka asks when he walks into the kitchen smelling like lemongrass. He’s spent the entire day in Arkyn’s gym burning off his anger. Now it looks like he’s showered and cleaned up for dinner time.
Not My Alpha: Fated Mistake XI: Opening
-Arkyn- I could feel Kira’s eyes on me throughout dinner, but I refused to acknowledge it and make things worse. But hearing her calling out for her mate, watching her lose her mind and fight to get to him, just pissed me off. Then my father mentioned Helseth was not her true mate, and shit started going downhill. What the fuck happened today while I was out attending to meetings? It’s fucked up; I know I should have been here for her today, but since uncle Andreas left, he has handed me over the Vega reins in my father’s stead. Duty before pleasure, as he always taught me. I nod at Kira’s words, then gesture for her to follow me as we walk up to her bedroom. She’d feel more comfortable here than in mine, anyway. We walk inside and she closes the door behind her, leaning the back of her head against it. “Adryan isn’t my mate.” Four words shouldn’t hold that much power over me, but those four words spoken by the woman I love have just knocked the wind out of me. “What do you mea
Not My Alpha: Fated Mistake XII: Prepare
-Kira-I sink to the floor with my hand over my mouth; my heart is beating so fast that I’m struggling to form a coherent thought. He kissed the spot where my mate is supposed to mark me and I felt more than just a simple pull; desire flooded my entire body. One thing is clear…Arkyn just staked his claim on me. All these years I thought my feelings were one-sided, when in fact Arkyn felt the exact same way about me and thought I knew! How did everything change so quickly? From feeling lost and heartbroken to knowing the person I have always been in love with, feels the same?But even if we both feel the same, Arkyn is engaged to be married to another woman; another woman currently staying under his roof. What will become of Jade, or the agreement Alpha Fenriz has with the pack Jade belongs to? This is a lot more complicated than simply admitting our feelings; this could cause a rift between packs.I get to my feet and head over to the bathroom while trying to push these thoughts ou
Not My Alpha: Fated Mistake XIII: Jade
-Kira-Day three of being at the Vega estate and I am slowly losing my mind. Arkyn left for work yesterday morning and hasn’t been back home, Luka basically lives in the gym, Jade avoids me like the plague and Alpha Fenriz is hardly here.And here I am, coiled up tight with anxiety.I walk out of my bedroom and make my way outside; summer is nearly here and with that comes Arkyn’s birthday and Ascension Ceremony. Or as I like to call it, the day I lose him.I’m in a white flowery summer dress and walking the gardens barefoot when I spot Jade sitting on a stone bench next to a fountain. She sees me and I promptly turn on my heel to get away from her; there’s no way I’m going to force a conversation with someone who clearly doesn’t like me.“Kira, wait!”Okay, so this is new. I literally have to blink a few times before stopping after I hear her call my name. Then I hear the clicking of her heels coming up behind me and hope this isn’t going to be a stand-off for Arkyn's affection. I f
Not My Alpha: Fated Mistake XIV: Missing
-Arkyn-Nothing. Absolutely nothing.“Well, that was a fucking waste of time!” I growl as we walk into the private jet heading back home. “They’re not even at the Volkov estate!”I know I’ll be returning home to my father’s ‘I told you so’ face and it grates me to admit that this was all for nothing. There’s no trace or scent of the Volkov family; everyone is under the impression that they’ve gone away for a while.“My father did warn us that things were quiet,” Elijah says as he flops down in his seat. “He’s a mercenary, if he can’t find shit, you won’t either.”“Yeah, but Alpha Kai rigged the entrance of the estate so I could enter as well. I didn’t fucking expect the estate to be going as usual and the Volkov mansion to be empty, I thought Adryan would have taken over like he truly wanted to.” I say, still in awe that no one knew their Alpha was in danger.“Even the clubs were still going.”“It makes me nervous as fuck, Eli. Where are they? What’s happened to them?” Elijah shrugs.
Not My Alpha: Fated Mistake XV: Snap
-Kira-With my heart literally sitting in my throat, I hold the necklace up to the light and frown. Why did my mother put this at the bottom of my shoe? She was still wearing it at the wedding, wasn’t she? I’ve never seen her without it. She refused to part with it, so why leave this with me?I touch the stone and feel an icy shiver run down my spine; flashes of my face appear in my peripheral… flashes of me crying and screaming while Arkyn carried me out of The Hall of the Five.“What…?” I trail off and look at my mother’s most precious object, glinting as if it’s nothing when this little thing carries more power than anyone, except Marle, is aware of./“Maybe Luna had a vision,”/ Yailyn echoes in my head. /“Maybe she saw what the Helseths were planning and decided to act quietly on her own so she wouldn’t worry anyone.”//“That’s the worst thing she could have done,”/ I groan and pull my legs up toward my chest while holding her necklace close. /“But that sounds like my mother; alwa
Not My Alpha: Fated Mistake XVI: Trust
-Arkyn-Her scream shatters every resolve I had left, and I nearly feel myself shift as I run toward the back of the mansion. The entire plane ride over, I played out all the worst scenarios in my head - Kira gone, Kira kidnapped, or Kira dead. But my father assured me she was fine - then why the fuck is she screaming?“KIRA!” I cry out, rounding the corner to see her on all fours, along with Luka. At first, I think he’s done something to her, but his deathly pale expression matches hers, as well as the way they’re both clutching their chests.Her head whips towards me, and the second our eyes connect, she lets out a scream that shakes me to my very core. I rush and scoop her into my arms, holding her close even as she continues to scream and thrash out.“I’m here, Blue,” I try to comfort her, rubbing her back in small circles. “Shhh, it’s okay-”“Someone died! The link snapped, Arkyn!” she exclaims and tries to move out of my arms, but I hold her tight against my chest. “He killed th
