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
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. Got drunk with the flimsy excuse of mourning their dead parents, in the midst of it, they had sex. Tanya wouldn't have known about it, if Mira wasn't so b
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
