Author's POVDeclan had chosen to ignore the sight of Xander and his secret lover, whom he seems not to want to be seen with in public. Even though their eyes met, he clearly looked away, disinterested in whatever his stepbrother was doing. Just as he was about to turn around, he saw Kira would have called out for her. But he was forced to stop in his tracks when she closed the gap between herself and Xander, caressing his face. The lady Xander had been hugging a few minutes back saw them, and she ran outside sobbing. Confused as to what to do and if he wasn't misunderstanding anything. He dialed Kira's number. Hiding himself behind one of the polls in the large space to avoid being seen, Declan saw Kira making a face at Xander staring at the phone like it's something poisonous. “Baby.” Declan let out, shutting his eyes tightly to calm his breath. “Hi, Declan.” Kira responded dryly. “Baby, I was thinking to come pick you up at the pack house and heading out.” He musedDeclan saw
Author's POVEven though Leila prides herself in having the solution to every situation they are in. Most times, she wishes Declan wouldn't be so stupid and act like a man that he is. When he had brought up the name of Mira Maddison as their only option to ruin whatever was brewing between Xander and Kira. She thought he knows her, had access to her contact and other necessary things. Leila almost screamed her lungs out when it turned out that, Declan only knows the said Mira by name and nothing else. To prevent Elizabeth from gloating about how she can handle everything. Leila had taken it upon herself to search for a Mira Maddison in the whole of Blackstone pack. For three days, she has met about three different Mira Maddison on the social media platform who didn't know anything about a person called Xander. She could only hope the place she had been directed to that a Mira Maddison stays was the right place. Leila was a bit bothered when the door opened, and she came face to fac
Kira's POVCarl's absence was immensely felt, the bar and gym didn't exactly feel the same without him. And this morning I am not in the mood to be trained by Xander, but knowing him well enough, he would call me and make me pull my ear back to him. For now, I will just laze around until noon, it's been a day since I checked on my dad. Because of how heart-wrenching the view is, I leave his room crying my eyes out. He gets paler with each passing day. I met Amber in the hallway heading to his chamber.“Hey sis.” She grinned at me. I huffed, “why are you so happy?”Amber raised a suspicious grin at me, “is there a crime in being happy?” “I don't like how calm you appear.” She snorted, “jealous pea.” I laughed lightly, “silly.” “Kira, have you noticed mum lately?” “What's wrong with her?” “I wonder if you exist around here Kira. You live in a clouded space in that head of yours. I would think it's the tea at work, but it's been doing wonders in my body.” She twirledI observed h
Xander's POVCalm your nerves, Kira. You won't solve anything by getting yourself this worked up.” Miguel advised. But she wasn't listening, Kira kept going back and forth, cursing under her breath. Miguel glanced at me to say something, but in actual truth I didn't know what to say. It's her feelings and her right to express it in whichever way she chooses. “I'm very sure she has something to do with this. I'm going to kill her!” She bellowed angrily.Kira has barged into the gym as early as I can remember, wailing loudly. I had thought her dad was dead. Instead, she said her mother was examined to have been ingesting poison. Which will automatically lead to wolf paralysis and ending the poor woman's life. Kira keeps insisting Leila has something to do with it.However, every edible in the house has been examined, and they came up with nothing. Which means the poison didn't come from the pack house. “Are you trying to fault the forensics result of the Luna's consumption. They stat
Kira's POVI want to hurt someone badly, I feel the urge to dig my nails into Leila's eyes and have her bleed to death. While I watch, feeling fulfilled, how dare Leila mess with me. To think she must have gotten through to my mother this same way without me knowing. The flask she had gifted mum was soaked with silver poison. They had inserted a foamy like absorber which obviously had been soaked with the silver before it got put into the flask. From my assertion, for every warm water poured into it. The content of the foam soaks mixes with the water. The foam looks swollen with several dented holes in it. More weeks of constant consumption, and she will be found on the cold floor, long dead. My heart thumped loudly, and it felt like it would jump out of its cage. The tears refused to stand back this time, and I felt like a total fool. How did I get so relaxed and not suspecting every of Leila's moves? For now, I would worry about that later. Telling my mum about her life being tam
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
