Author's POVElizabeth yawned loudly, feeling bored, she had thought taking out the Alpha and his entire family would be adventurous. Even though she didn't have anything against Kendrick, considering how much her sister had cherished him. However, anything that involves Elizabeth gaining power, she wouldn't mind doing whatever it takes. She had suspected Declan and Leila were hiding something when they didn't give her any feedback concerning the case they were after. She kissed her teeth, dropping the pen in her hand on the table. Staring at both of their faces, she felt irritated. A longtime vacation would do her some good to regain her sanity. “How is it that you both missed the aspect of Kira going behind your back?” Elizabeth queried. Declan scratched the back of his head, looking towards Leila as usual. Expecting her to cover up for him. She rolled her eyes, turning away from him.“Actually mum, I was the one who trailed Kira. And Leila here had it sorted, we need to know our
Xander's POVMy wolf growled in extreme anger as I tried to do some push ups, it had been in an angry state since I confronted Elizabeth. I would have just stayed put and let her think she had the upper hand. But then, I realize that people like Elizabeth try to play smart with anyone they come across. Not only does she intend to ruin my father's legacy, she wants to squander the money to her best ability. I guess she has no doubt about her becoming the Alpha's mother. She looked too calm, and I wish I had the guts to wipe that smug look off her face.She deserves nothing of what my father owned, no after killing him. How she sleeps at night surprises me, I had tried to be reasonable and understand that my dad had caused her pain in the past. But, hasn't he paid back enough? While he was alive and even in death. It was obvious now that Elizabeth was a greedy and power drunken individual, who would say and do anything to make things conform to her interest. If her excuse was because
Author's POV Leila snorts to herself as she played around with the drink in her glass. She had only kept her assertions to herself to enable her to get more of an upper hand. Elizabeth asking her to find the person dishing out her secrets to Xander would be one of the easiest tasks she has ever taken up. There was no longer doubt that Kira was playing them intentionally, and she might know something. At the same time, Leila wants to believe Kira is only madly into Xander and would do anything to keep him to her side. Kira has always been a fool for those she loves. What she can't seem to understand is Kira's total disinterest in Declan, it worries Leila that Xander might have told Kira about her frequent visits to Declan's house. If that is the case, Kira might be plotting against them. Leila snapped her fingers, she would never allow someone like Kira outrun her in the race of deceit. Tapping on her phone, she dialed Mira. Mira picked on the second ring. “Where are you?” Leila
Kira's POVI almost couldn't see my way through when I entered the room, mum was wailing loudly next to dad's lifeless body. My eyes trailed Leila's reaction, as usual, her poker face was holding up quite well. My knees gave out, and I fell to the floor. He is dead for real, and all of my attempt at keeping him alive has all gone to waste. I tried to let out tears but nothing came out, I felt lifeless. Sniffing, I got up quietly walking out like a zombie, ignoring the footstep behind me. I didn't stop in my tracks until I got to the garden, ignoring the grass, I sat on it, folding up my legs. For the first time since I had promised myself to never have anything to do with Xander again, I missed him. If his cheating ass didn't get exposed, I would have run right into his arms for him to console me. I have ignored his calls for a week, and he had stopped calling since then. Couldn't blame him, he isn't the cause of my woes. I should try to find my route myself. The tears flowed freel
Xander's POVI massaged my forehead, waking up with a head splitting ache was becoming a habit for me now. It's obvious I am stressed and it has affected my sleeping pattern. No matter how long I shift and run in the woods, I wake up feeling like I had lifted tons of flour bags while sleeping. If only she would pick the damn call and stop acting so sassy. I have tried to reach her and my ego couldn't endure being dragged any longer, and I had no choice but to stop. To make matters worse, two days after, Kira walked out on me and refused to talk to me. I got myself drunk and fell into the waiting hands of Mira. The sex was mind-blowing I can't deny that, to think I have been depriving myself for a long while now. However, at the end of it I couldn't look at myself in the mirror and all I could think of was to call Kira. Despite our history, she has been chosen to be my mate and I need to respect that. On the other hand is Mira, who has chosen to take advantage of the steamy night to
Xander's POVI staggered back towards the table, feeling like I had been punched in the gut. The Alpha is dead, and I couldn't even imagine what Kira might be going through at the moment. I swallowed hard. “When was that?” Miguel pouted, “yesterday. I hope he finds peace in death, I heard his sickness had taken a considerable toll on him.”I nodded in agreement, “yes, I guess so.”“Did you eventually talk it out with Mira?” He askedI pulled at my hair returning to the chair, “you would be surprised she connived with Leila and Declan to show up and throw Kira off the pedal. How foolish can they be? Thinking my relationship with Kira will be in ruins because of Mira.”I saw Miguel shake his head slightly, “well, in actual truth they did ruin it. It's not like you have been on actual talking terms with her for the past week now.” “Well, thanks for rubbing it in.” I snorted, “I will leave you to it, just needed to bring the news to your notice.” Miguel announced heading out. Exhalin
Author's POVLeila looked on in disgust at how happy Elizabeth and Declan were at the news of the Alpha's death. The two of them rejoicing over her almost fall. Her heart feels heavy with worry. Her altercation with Amber over the poisoning of the Luna, made her more suspicious of the fact that Kira might be aware of their plan. Kira's attitude when she and Declan had gone to sympathize with her over the Alpha's death, added to her suspicion. Even though she and Declan had arrived differently, the odd look on Kira's face didn't sway until they were forced to leave. Which means total failure for her and the rest of the team, finding out about the betrayal. Kira won't hesitate to report to the pack council, and they all get caught and killed in the end. She pulled at the necklace on her neck. Declan noticed her discomfort and moved close to her. “whats wrong baby?” Elizabeth snorted at their exchange. She would never get used to seeing them act so loving towards each other. She shru
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
