Author's POVMira took a calculated step towards the bar, she was going to relay her thoughts and discomfort to Xander without hesitation. She couldn't keep up with his sour attitude towards her every time. She felt there was a need to command respect from him. The last time she had visited, and he accused her of causing a rift between himself and the other lady. She chided herself for backing out so easily. Clenching her fist around the handle of her bag, she ignored Miguel, who was acting polite towards her. She has always disregarded him, treating Miguel like he was irrelevant. He snorted at her receding back, it was no use trying to make friends with someone as shallow - minded as her. Xander jerked from his chair at the force of the door opening, he was almost excited about whom it might be. However, his face fell when it turned out to be Mira. Xander had thought she would be shameful enough to not show her face to him again.“What are you doing here, Mira?” He questioned, fina
Author's POVTanya stared at her sister, feeling embarrassed on her behalf. Luckily for Mira, she had been passing by in her car when the guard of the popular bar tossed her into the street like a sack of unwanted beans. Disappointment rocked her boat as she helped Mira to the car. “When did you become such a mess? I thought you would have learned your lesson since the time Xander told you off.” Said Tanya. Mira's affection for Xander wasn't hideous all through the time they lived next to each other. She drooled over, while Mira was supposed to have crushes towards her age mates. She longed for Xander, it got not just Tanya, but their parents worried at the time. However, they all thought it would play out when she grows older. Their parents died when Mira had just clocked nineteen, to Tanya's surprise, she connected with Xander.

Kira's POVI exhaled loudly, pushing the bed cover off me. My body felt heavy the moment my legs touched the floor. I haven't been out of the room for about two days, nobody came to check on me aside the maids who intend to clean the room or serve me my food. Ayla's whine is beginning to irritate me, I wouldn't blame her, though. It's been so long since she experienced any form of stretching. It's one of the things she can't resist doing. “Alright, Ayla. I'm heading out now.” I said tiredlyGetting myself ready, I stepped out of the room, not bothering to exchange pleasantries with anyone I ran into. I didn't realize how much I missed the natural space until I shifted and ran through the woods like a free bird. It's been precisely a week since my father, the Alpha of Blackstone pack, got buried. It still feels so surreal. I tried not to think of it, admitting he has gone to rest for good. He deserves the peaceful moment away from the ruckus of living. However, mum appears to be obl
Author's POVAt the sight of the satisfied smile on Declan's face, Leila lost her cool. She had been waiting for his return after texting him two hours ago, and he promised to return soon. Leila would have tried to overlook it if he weren't looking so happy and pleased with himself. “Hey, Leila. There was a bit of an emergency, I had to stay back for a while.” Declan lied, not looking at her. Leila kissed her teeth, “do you know the most shameful look on you? It's when you lie. That stupid face of yours has no pocket to keep your fakeness in. Not only did I text you that it was urgent, I mind linked you too. And you choose to take care of that emergency, not caring about what might become of me.” Declan ignored her tantrums and made a sorry face. He had envisioned Leila's anger and because he knew just how she would act. It had made him more relaxed, and she was doing just as expected. “You do know how hard these times are for Kira. What kind of boyfriend would I be tagged as if I
Kira's POV“Don't you think it's time you get off your high horse and speak to him?” Amber whined for the umpteenth time into my ear. The downside to having a younger sister is having a walking reminder. Especially when she knows I am clearly trying to avoid the situation. Even though I must admit, it's fun having more of a close relationship with my family. In my past life, I was too dependent on Leila, which made it easy for me to sway from them. Since I had an open discussion with mum, I feel more relaxed discussing on everything bothering me. Amber's loud snort brought me back to the present, “I am sure you haven't gone deaf, Kira.” She stomped her bare foot on the hard floor. I rolled my eyes, “your continuous nagging will obviously make me deaf. What is it with you, Amber? Why won't you let me be?” “I can't, until you do what is expected of you. Stop being so adamant, I should really involve mum In this.” “Don't you dare!” I warned, sighing in frustration. I sat back on my
Author's POVLeila seethed as she gulped down the last drop of tequila in the glass. She had raided her father's wine rack and got hold of the half drunk tequila. She had snorted.at the thought of becoming as pathetic and low as her father. Thinking of it on the other hand, if she wasn't being stupid like her father, considering everything Declan's mother, Elizabeth had put her entire family through. The last thing she is supposed to think of is spending the rest of her life with the witch's son. But then, Leila could admit to being jinxed since she can't start to imagine her life without Declan. Also, she likes to think the beef with Elizabeth is between her parents and the former. Not the children, so, the parents might cut at each other's throat, but the children will keep growing in love. A snide grin appeared on her face as she threw her head to the back. She must be dumb to think Elizabeth will make her transitioning to Luna that easy. Even though they both hold dirt against
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
