Author's POVThe dazed look on Declan's face made Leila feel good about herself. Mira's announcement made her feel hopeful about getting her man back. Leila despised being clueless or stuck on what next move to take. She couldn't wait to break it to his face, to make the effect more impactful. Leila had made the announcement in front of Elizabeth. And from the look on her face, she was definitely pissed. Elizabeth's entire face was blotched red.“Declan!” Elizabeth growled. “How again did you get sidelined?” Declan blinked rapidly, “I don't know what to say, mum.” “Of course you have nothing to say, how do you explain your foolishness. To think that bastard called Xander is ahead of you again. What if he is also after the throne too? What exactly is he doing so well to have Kira run after him like that?” Elizabeth sounded frustrated.Leila tried to hold back her giggle, “let's all calm down, we can't resolve this by exchanging words. Sit down, Declan. I hope this is all clear to yo
Xander's POVEverything I stared at appears to be blurry, I might really lose my mind for sure if nothing goes as expected. I have still not heard from Kira, and it's driving me crazy. It would be nice to at least get a text from her if she is so hell-bent on not hearing my voice. Throwing the pen roughly on the table, the door opened, and I was about to tell Miguel off until I caught her scent. My wolf howled in excitement at the sight of her. Standing up abruptly, I cleared my throat, staring at her nervously. “Would you like to seat?” I blurted before realizing how stupid that sounded. Kira laughed softly, “are you nervous, right now? You, Xander?” I huffed, dipping my hands in my pocket. “don't blame me. It's been so long I set my eyes on you, and I don't know how to act around you anymore. Were you that angry at me that you couldn't just spare me some of your time? Even after explaining everything to you.” I whined, just because I couldn't bury my feelings. And I can only hope
Author's POVLeila chewed hard on her nail, for two straight days she has been thinking about what she could do to make Kira fall back in line. And all the options that came to her head seemed hard, but the only way out. Frustrated, she slumped into her bed, groaning loudly. She heard a knock from behind the door, Leila rolled her eyes. It can't be anybody else but her father, since they are the only two living souls in the house. Mumbling incoherent words to herself, she walked to the door. Jesse stood there looking haggard, his eyes sunken. Leila could notice the extra gray hairs that have added up. There was no way he could be referred back to the man she knows a year ago. “What do you want?” She mused rudely. Jesse snickered weakly, her snarky attitude did not surprise him. The both of them haven't been on good terms since Ariana left. Even though he blames himself for most of all that happened. Leila no doubt isn't exactly a respectable child, she is too self-centered and care
Kira's POV“I don't feel comfortable.” Ayla whispered as I ran through the woods with every strength I could muster. I had woken up feeling burdened and the only thing that seems to relieve.me lately is shifting and taking a long run. However, Ayla's constant complaint of what it is to come soon. Keeps me on the edge, even though it seems like I do have an idea of what might happen to me. Still, I can't deny the fear that keeps gripping my insides. After getting enough of the fresh air, I shifted to my human form and returned to the pack house. Mum and Amber were seated by the dining table enjoying breakfast. I snickered, pulling a chair to seat in. “so much for wanting to meet with my family for breakfast. I see you are enjoying it without me, that's just great.”“Awwn.” Amber mocked. “are you pained?” Mum chuckled lightly, “stop teasing your sister, Amber. Don't mind her, Kira. We just started eating, one of the maids said you have been gone for a while. Is everything okay baby?”
Author's POVDriving through the busy road, Leila glanced at her phone screen. She has no idea why her father was trying to reach her after everything he put her through. To make matters worse, she only has two days left to leave the house. The week was almost running out, her pride would never let her seek accommodation with Declan and his mother.Kira, who would have been her perfect cover, can't be approached just yet. Not only was Leila at a cross road on what to do with her life, there is also the aspect of getting her lifelong dream of becoming Luna. Which was more important than the latter. Brushing off the thought of her accommodation, Leila focused on the road. She had called Kira to come with her on a short road trip, the plan was to act as neutral as possible. Elizabeth's men have been placed, but the roadblocks where there aren't any cameras in place or the authorities. The plan is to take Kira hostage and bruise Leila a bit, which would make it seem like Leila knows noth
Kira's POVI groaned painfully, as I tried to rub at my cramped neck I realized my hands were tied together. Taking a deep breath, I let my sensitive organs figure out the space I was in. Ayla was acting completely restless, and I had to keep fighting between remaining in my human form and shifting into my wolf. Moreover, she was only hurting me with her struggle. My hands were tied together with a silver chain. “Easy, Ayla. Calm down. Stop panicking.” I told her, at the voice she relaxed. I blinked severally trying to adjust my eyes to the semi dark room, I almost got myself killed the other time. Seeing the men, I was defensive, immediately forgetting I had intentionally walked into whatever trap was laid for me. Probably, I didn't imagine it would be this violent. Anyway, I shouldn't have expected less from them. I could set myself loose now, but that would be a waste of time and energy, leaving so early. I need to know who might be behind it and their reason for kidnapping a pr
Xander's POVI pulled at my hair tightly, almost yanking it off my scalp. It's been more than thirty minutes since we missed Kira. The entire camera became blank, even though her location at some point was clear, the rest of it has been blurred. I am never going to forgive myself if anything happens to her. “Sit down, Xander. This won't do. Stop worrying so much, trust Kira. She promised to return, and I am very sure she would.” Miguel said. “You don't get it, Miguel. If she gets caught, they won't hesitate to harm her this time around. And where the hell is she? It's been so long, I told you it would have been better if we followed them.” I whinedMiguel sighed, “your emotions would have gotten in the way, and you end up messing it all up.” He was right, and I couldn't deny his words. There is no way I would have stayed still and watch them pull at her violently. One of them would have died under my punch, no doubt. I was about to storm out of the room, when the door opened, letti
Xander's POVI couldn't see anything as I plummeted Declan continuously, the thought of my father struggling under his hold fighting for his life made me furious. It was clear now where the strangulation in the autopsy came from. There is no doubt Elizabeth had something to do with the poisoning. These two monsters ruined my family. They killed my father. Declan fought weakly underneath my weight, trying to push me off, but I was too strong to be pulled back. With Axel's help, I was able to claw at his face. I want to leave a mark that he would never forget in his entire life. In my rage, I got shoved off him and I found myself rolling on the hard floor. Still not deterred, I stood up and attempted to finish him off. Declan looked drenched in his blood, but two strong hands held me back. Elizabeth had a horrified look on her face as she called out to her son. “You bastard!” She yelled at me. “What have you done to my son?” With every strength I could muster, I pushed the men away
