Kira's POVI hastened my steps towards the kitchen, I didn't want to end up being suspected of taking too long. Knowing it will be too obvious if I took the document with me, also I only had a dress on. Dipping a whole three-page document inside of me would have getting admitted to the hospital. The joy of having your phone with you at the right time when it's most needed. It felt like I had won a trophy. “That was fast, didn't think you would find it that easily.” Elizabeth mused, to my surprise.I smiled lightly, handing the phone to her, “you described it perfectly.” Excusing herself to go make a call, I tried to ransack my head to be certain I didn't leave the table in the study too scattered. “You might want to go back.” Ayla tauntedI snorted, ignoring her saucy attitude. She was at it again, I am really different from Ayla. Sauciness isn't a part of me, or maybe it is. I really can't tell, she is just a different breed on her own. Declan didn't return until dinner was set, h
Xander's POVI felt good knowing I had ruined Declan's night, the bastard thinks he can move around whichever way he pleases. The thought of him and his mother getting to enjoy everything my father worked for lavishly, annoys the hell out of me. To make matters worse, I went to the hospital to ask for my father's autopsy. Even though it has been a long while, they would definitely have it in their records. However, the report said he died a natural death. Which I can say with a full chest is a lie. Restlessness lingered in every pore of my skin, also seeing how good-looking Kira was tonight. She should be in my arms and no one else's. That buffoon named Declan should really start to keep his hands where it can be seen. I want to avoid having to send him to the hospital with a broken limb. I got a text from Carl to join in on his night out with Miguel, those two are getting closer than I would have imagined. Carl is stealing my friend away from me slowly. Which is why I would accept
Kira's POVI woke up feeling heavy at heart, I would like to tag it as regret. Maybe I shouldn't have gotten too excited and showed off the document I had gotten from Elizabeth's drawer. Xander ran out of the bar and no one could go after him because Miguel said it wasn't needed, saying he would find his way back. No one said he wouldn't, I am more worried about him doing something stupid. But Miguel assured that nothing of the sort would happen. After waiting my ass off for about an extra hour, I eventually gave up and went home. Carl had taken Xander's bike to take me home. I practically brooded all through the night, didn't know when sleep got the best of me. My body ached from turning and twisting for hours. My hands instinctively went to my call log, wishing to put a call through to Xander. But, something told me to hold up for the meantime. I threw the phone on the bed, groaning in frustration. My day was already on the rocks as it is, waking up in a sour mood doesn't help th
Author's POVLeila couldn't believe her eyes, Kira had outdone herself this time. She had always known her friend would be useful when she needed her to be. However, she would have never imagined laying her hands on something as enormous as the picture in front of her. It was still so surreal even after staring at it consistently for two days. She had chosen to take her time to avoid Kira getting suspected by Elizabeth. That would be too messy for them to deal with. Running out of her room, Leila went straight to her father's study to print it out in hard copy. She grinned with delight at the sight. Elizabeth was definitely going to wet her pants by the time she was done with her. Getting herself ready to cause some chaos. As she drove out of the house, a message popped up on her phone from Elizabeth. Asking her to stay back from the meeting they were to hold on how to hasten up their plans to wipe out the Alpha's family and achieve their aim. A cynical laugh escaped Leila's lips,
Xander's POVGhosting people isn't my usual way of acting, but I can't seem to help it. I needed my space, don't know what exactly for. All I did was shift and run through the woods like a raging maniac, drink myself to a stupor, eat whatever junks come my way and sleep like a log of wood. It was an adventurous moment. I stared around the house compound, it felt like it had lost its colors. Memories of my dad and I crossed my mind and the tears stung my eyes again. Even if he did have his flaws and had done some things in the past, he was the best father anyone could ever wish for. Dad made time for me, no matter how busy his schedule might be. He had thought he wasn't doing enough when I became secluded, causing him to marry a woman who would be the beginning of our ruin. Hate filled my chest for the horrible woman who wouldn't let go of an over three decades of feud.The person she is said to be fighting for wasn't exactly well-behaved, it still doesn't justify my father's action.
Kira's POVWhatever it was that Leila did with the information I sent her, it did make her pleased. She had come around today to gift me a silver necklace that looked charming. I was truly surprised at the gesture. She shouldn't bother buying me gifts when she has plans to end my life. I wish I could tell that to her face. My heart raced when she volunteered to wear it on my neck. I could sense Amber mind linking me to slap her hands from my neck. I almost laughed out loudly, she undeniably has a way of baring her mind. Leila wouldn't be crazy enough to cause me any harm right here in my own guarded space. She grinned at me, sitting opposite me. We were sitted by the relaxing garden not far from the pack house gate. “It looks so beautiful on you. I knew it would fit you better.” I smiled tightly, “you have always had eyes for good things.” My eyes went to my phone, I had expected that I would get at least a call or text from Xander. But I didn't, he obviously still isn't pleased
Kira's POVXander's eyes searched mine the moment I got in. The way he cowered back at my hard glare, I am sure he thought it was because of the gravity of his offense. I hissed loudly, locking the door behind her. “What are you doing here?” I whisper yelled, my eyes lingering on the window. The rate at which my heart paced, one would think I was running away from a burglary scene.Xander raised a cautious brow, “I came to apologize for how I reacted the other day.” “This is like the wrongest of time to come. Couldn't you have called ?” “I didn't want you to refuse me, and when I called Amber she didn't say there was a reason for me not to be here.”Placing a hand on my forehead, I demonstrated with my other hand, “that is because she is just being childish. Leila and Declan are downstairs, and I can bet it with you, they wouldn't leave here without suspicion lingering in their minds.” He exhaled, sitting his butt back down on the edge of the bed, “since when did the both of them
Author's POV“I didn't expect things would turn out this way. But I must say fate is really on our side.” Elizabeth sounded jubilant when she met with Leila and Declan later in the week. Declan smacked his lips in delight, “when Leila had found out about her father's recent death sentence, I thought it was a joke. It's obvious the Alpha's family is keeping it a secret for now. Sour for them, sweet for us.” He grinned. Elizabeth nodded along, she didn't fail to notice Leila's unusual quietness. Since the both of them had reached a compromise, Elizabeth had given up on trying to conquer the girl. No doubt, she is the same as her. And it was hard conquering one's lookalike, “What is the matter Leila? You don't look too excited. This is good news for us all. It makes our task easier.” She noted Leila inhaled, sitting up. “Yes, but I noticed something really weird.”“What would that be?” Declan asked“Didn't you notice Kira's behavior that day? I can bet my life on it that her sister d
