Xander's POV"Why won't you just say something, Xander?” Mira whined into my ears.Whatever I woke to this morning, isn't sitting right with me. Kira has been calling non-stop and all the texts she sent. I ignored them for the moment. I can't deal with too much drama at the moment. Anything she has to say that is so important would have to wait until later. Even when my wolf; Axel had insinuated she might be in danger. I had tuned out its voice, refusing to be cajoled. Just when I thought drama would desist from me. I saw Mira waiting by the entrance of the bar, tapping her feet eagerly on the hard floor. Why she thought the drama she is putting on the show would get to me sounds hilarious. Who comes onto someone to whine about something so unreasonable. If I wasn't so considerate, I would have thrown or shut her out. Mira was the girl I grew up with, lived in the same neighborhood before her parents moved away. But we ended up finishing high school together. One thing that I dete
Kira's POVI can't believe Xander has been avoiding my calls. If it wasn't so essential to have someone to work with on this mission of mine. There is no way I would involve myself with someone so arrogant. I was about to lose my mind when he didn't pick his call, for his own good I hoped he would pick my final attempt at calling him. The most annoying of all is the unremorseful stretch to his tone. More like an order for me to come meet him at his bar after sending me an address. My dad and Amber are recuperating just fine, but I can't seem to get off the nagging thought that the enemies might strike differently. After saying yes to Declan, I thought it wise to communicate the present situation of things to Xander, but that unusual being appears to be avoiding me. Ever since the moment we had in the pack house, I haven't seen him. “Just admit you miss him.” Ayla squealed. Groaning, I gripped the steering wheel tightly. Times like this are when I wish I can really stuff Ayla's mou
Kira's POVMy toes curled at the effect of the kiss, I doubt if Xander knows how cute unpredicted kisses are. When he eventually let my lips go, I wasn't ready to end it yet, and Ayla definitely doesn't either. He had an amused look when he stepped back. “I almost thought you would chew off my lips with how vicious you attacked it.” He mused.I scoffed, rolling my eyes and trying to steady my shaky breath. “Speak for. yourself, don't try to use reverse psychology on me. You were the one who switched from discussing something serious to intertwining tongues.”Xander looked unashamed, “I was only endeavoring to lighten the mood. It was too tense.” A throaty laugh escaped my lips, “Sure, I get that.” I observed him for a second. “There is something you feel doubtful telling me about. What's wrong?” “Wow, no one told me you were a psychic.” I sighed, returning to my sitting position. “If we would do this together Xander, it would be nice to not keep anything from each other.” Ignorin
Author's POVLeila blinked slowly, trying to keep her eyes in their sockets and avoid throwing the vicious glare she has in mind at Elizabeth. Her controlling and dominating attitude, makes Leila's insides churn in frustration. At the same time, the woman is more like a role model for her. Leila has a secret admiration of Elizabeth. The way she carries herself letting everyone know she is the boss. It makes Leila dream of a day she would live such a power filled life. Sighing, Leila glared at Declan as he tried to arrange the files his mother had handed over to him. They were sitted in Elizabeth's study, awaiting the meeting she had called on Leila's idea to over throne the present alpha family. Sometimes, Leila hates how weak Declan was when it comes to his mother. The idea was her master plan and to be carried out her own way. But, he ended up blurting it all out to his mother, ruining everything. “You don't look too good, Leila. Would you like some iced tea?” Elizabeth asked he
Kira's POVMy eyes lingered on my dad and sister as they laid on the bed, with their eyes closed. Their breath moved slowly. It hurts to see them looking lifeless.“But they are alive.” Ayla whisperedI sighed, that was one thing to be genuinely thankful for. Me being able to save them was a miracle, and the both of them striving to live was another thing. I had just returned from my early morning training with Xander, when I thought to check on them first. Having Xander's head for breakfast would please me really good at the moment. I had thought the training would have me throwing punches and legs. But for three straight days now, Xander has had me doing just push-ups and lifting dumbbells. Whenever I tried to talk or ask him about it, he would flip at my butt with a flexible ruler that I wonder where he got it from. We haven't said anything to each other aside; good morning and goodbye. I miss his touch, to help me see just how much he missed the first day of training. I wore a
Xander's POV“He wants to have what? I still don't understand this, is the goddess really playing with me right now? This never happened in the first life, there is no way Declan is involved in architecture. That young man is a block head!” Kira kept ranting as she punched at the bag profusely. I have a feeling those hands would refuse to work by the end of the day. It's not like I really care, even though my wolf does. Okay! I do care, and which is why I need to get her away from paralyzing those hands that turn me on so bad. “That's enough, Kira! You would do more damage if you keep straining your hands like that.” I told her, pulling her to the stool to sit. “Get a grip on yourself.” She panted hard, resting her head on her knee. I grabbed a bottle of cold water and handed it to her. It was just six thirty in the morning and Kira has burned enough fat for two days. Ever since she entered the gym, all Kira did was rant. I had ignored her the whole time, she kept texting and call
Kira's POVI practically ran half of the mile that led to the pack house. Sometimes and most times it is essential to set boundaries with people. No matter how close you might be together. One of the things that I refused to see was how easily, Leila invades my privacy with no caution. My wolf huffed in exhaustion, making my way up the stairs my eyes shone in horror when Leila sat on the edge of the bed rummaging through the bag. “Leila!” I called out, snatching the bag from her hand. “Can you keep off my things please?” She had a surprised look on her face, “wh…what? When did you start keeping things away from me?”It's the entitled tone in that squeaky voice of her that had Ayla growling. “It's something in relation to the pack house. You should have at least waited for me to return before going through my things.”Leila sat up, like she has been pricked with something, a pained look on her face. “Can I ask you a quick question? Since when did I become a stranger to you and I hav
Kira's POVAt this point, I can calmly accept the fact that today isn't fated to be my day. I have been clumsy all morning, and unthinking too. I can imagine how disappointed Xander would be when he hears about my foolishness. “Hey, baby. What happened?” Declan's voice swirled over my head. Shame wouldn't let me get up, this wasn't how I planned it. I had thought to play smart and leave the room immediately. Thank goodness I was out before he suspects anything. Bracing myself, I took his hand to stand on my feet. “I was searching for a restroom. Making my way out, I slipped.” I explained through heavy breath. “ I apologise for that baby. This is all my fault, I rushed down here as soon as I could.” He said. I smiled stiffly, walking down the stairs with him. I noticed his head looking behind, he must have suspected something too. If I ever flop, this second chance of me getting to amend the wrongs in my life. I might commit suicide. What I didn't expect to see was Elizabeth in a
