Kira's POVI sniffed loudly into the tissue, wiping at it, my entire nose and cheek got stained with mucus. It only triggered another bout of tears and I let them out freely. Amber sat on the couch in front of me with a disapproving look on her face. “you cry so horribly. Can't you at least cry with some actual style.”I snort out a tear and laughter at the same time, “how does one do that?” “You learn to cry like an English woman, members of the royal court. They hardly shed a tear.”“You have been reading too much of Shakespeare. I am certain they let out this sort of ugly tears in the corners of their rooms.”She rolled her eyes, “whatever, it's enough with those tears. Mum would walk in now and think it's something serious.”I stared at her in disbelief, “how can you demean the cause of my pain as nothing serious?” “Don't be ridiculous, sis, you are only here crying because your ego is too big for you to swallow. Why won't you just call him?” I shrugged my shoulder stubbornly,
Author's POVSucking in her lips, Leila gestured at Carl to come to her. He let out an inward grown, he was beginning to believe Xander had intentionally set him up with Leila. Ever since Carl had seduced her to get the number of pictures that he needed, she still kept coming back. Aside the fact that he had only lusted over her at first. Carl was tired of being involved with her every night, she has made it a point of duty to keep him frustrated. Taking a deep breath, he came to a resolve to end whatever it is between them tonight. “Hey baby.” Leila leaned forward to kiss him when he neared the bed. Carl leaned back, shifting away from her. She stared in shock, “what's wrong?” “We can't do this tonight.” He saidLeila folded her arm against her chest, “why?” Carl shrugged, “because I don't want to.”“All of a sudden? You just want to end it all out of the blue. We were fine last night.” She argued. A hiss escaped his lips, “aren't you ashamed of yourself Leila? You have a boyfri
Xander's POVI must say, I was beyond surprised when Carl showed up at the bar without any prior notice. Indulging in his presence, Miguel and I sat to drink with until the bar closed out. Carl ended up having too much to drink. And since we were all tired, we crashed in the room kept for days like this at the top of the bar. The space is a big one, and it was used profoundly. I never really had to use the room, but Miguel frequents the place and it looked homely. A large self-contained that could accommodate six people to sleep in if there is any need to. I have a feeling it have just been dad's hiding place from Elizabeth when she makes his life miserable. Considering how she is unaware of the space. I stretched, yawning loudly, searching for my phone next to me, I realized I had slept for a bit too long. It was past ten in the morning. My head ached as I hurried. Miguel walked out of the bathroom, making his way to the open kitchen, you switch off the water heater. “Stop looking
Author's POVLeila tapped her feet hurriedly on the floor, her anxiety was beginning to grow worse by the day. It's been two weeks since Carl told her all about her intended plans against Kira. Not to forget his promise to release every of her nude pictures that he had taken.Some days ago in her annoyance and the need to be certain she isn't being fooled by him. Leila had confronted Carl to let her catch a glimpse of them. He had been adamant at first, but she wasn't one to give up either. Her eyes had almost fallen out of the sockets when she saw her naked self. Leila felt betrayed and angered, not just against Carl. But her mother, for bringing in someone who would add to her problems. Jesse watched her from the stairs, his hands held the rail tightly. He felt guilty of the stressed state of Leila. The both of them haven't been seeing eye to eye, since she discovered the deep ugly state of their finances. Scratching the back of his head, he walked down the stairs, clearing his th
Kira's POVI panted slowly, sitting on the ground while squeezing out the water bottle content like my life depended on it. I had worked myself out a bit too much this morning. Xander and Miguel were having some sort of business meeting, and he had only warmed me up a little before heading back to the office. Initially, I would have acted a bit lazy like my usual self. But I just couldn't find it in me to laze out. My dad had ignited the protective and vicious spirit in me. He was awake now and back to his feet after such long, horrifying months. Instead of staying put, he had jumped on the pack duties and had begun riding around in the same tool that almost took his life. I'm so confused I have no idea what I am to do next, how do I tell him that my friend is plotting against him? I don't know who I can go to for help, I need someone who can convince my dad to keep his head and also help me flip Leila off my back. On a second thought, she shouldn't intend to try anything funny. Co
Xander's POVKira does have awfully dramatic means of making an announcement. My heart almost jumped out of their cage with the thought that something might be really wrong. “What is it this time?” I asked, already feeling sweaty in my palms.She sighed, arching her back like someone who is extremely frustrated with life. “My dad is awake.” Carl stared at me like I had an explanation as to what she is saying. I shrugged, “so? He has been awake for a while now.” “Yes, but he is hale and hearty now, intending to return to his duties.” She said.“Ok.” I hummed, “now, that definitely is a problem.” I almost didn't pick up her worry on time, it dawned on me what bothered her. If Alpha Kendrick gets back on his feet, Leila would undoubtedly get to him. And this time, we might be unable to save him. “What's going on?” Carl asked. Kira sucked her teeth, “Leila and Declan have made an attempt on my dad's life before. But I was able to save him. Knowing they didn't succeed the first time,
Author's POVA devilish grin spread out on Elizabeth's face as she stared down at the interesting pictures in her hand. Just when she thought her excitement days might be cut short. Fate thought to reward her. She gave the man in front of her a nod, “would you have thought this was going on at all?” The man shook his head, “I was just as taken aback as you are when I stumbled on it.” In Elizabeth's hand lays the naked and intimate pictures of Leila and her supposed step-brother Carl. She couldn't be more proud of her man to have gotten so productive with his discovery. Ever since, Leila had insisted on Carl being protected and not getting the death sentence he had been lined up for. Elizabeth felt something was fishy. She didn't think it would be to such extent, she was more bothered that Leila might be planning with another group of people since she hasn't been talking about seizing the throne much anymore. Her eyes twitched, when she thought of how destabilized Declan would be i
Kira's POVOne would think being at the table with everyone I love would make me feel on top of the world. Seeing my dad make jokes so randomly had my legs shiver, the thought of losing him to the cold hands of Leila and her evil motives makes me petrified. Knowing my life can hit the rocks in a twinkle of an eye. “Baby, are you okay?” Mum asked. I tried to smile, nodding. “I am okay, mum.” “Don't you like the food, honey? Should it be changed?” Dad inquired. I looked down at my plate and realized I had been playing around with it. “Oh, don't mind me. I am not just feeling too good.” Dad looked worried, “Do we need to make a call to the infirmary?” I sighed, unable to take the questions any longer. “I will just head upstairs and eat later.” I said, leaving the table, but I didn't forget my manners and ensured to kiss both parents goodnight. Letting Amber wonder in that little head of hers what was going on. Leaning into my bed, I held my phone, my finger lingering on Xander's c
