Cillian Cillian, Kinsley, and Gunner (15 years old)Reagan (14 years old) “What the fuck happened to you, Kensington? You look like a starving vampire.” Kinsley’s cheeks are hollow and dark circles surround her eyes. Her long black hair curtains the sides of her face making her features appear more gothimal even without make-up. Gunner and I barge into the kitchen, hungry from the wolf run we just came from. I’m turning 16 soon and I can feel my wolf getting ready to surface. It’s still going to be a while, maybe even a year or two, but the signs are already present. I’m hungry all the time, I’m easily riled up, and I can’t get a certain girl out of my head. Praying to the Moon Goddess that she’s my fated mate that’s why she keeps a permanent residence in my mind. “Goodness, brother. Choose your words, please… This, it’s her dad. Again.” Reagan whisper-yells at me while she sets a bowl of soup and some toast and butter on the table for Kinsley. “Did he fucking bruise you, ag
Cillian “What was that all about? Why’d you follow Andrei?” Curious about Kinsley’s conversation with the Russian hybrid, I immediately corner her inside my bedroom and investigate. “I didn’t peg you for a jealous baby-daddy.” A wolfish smile plays on her lips. “Quit being delusional. I’m far from jealous. If you want this co-parenting to work, you should let me know every single thing when it comes to the pup.” I have an inkling that Andrei just discovered about the wolf-pup. Although there’s no natural paternal instincts, yet, on my part, I do want to make sure that Kinsley and the baby are safe. “Okay. Fine.” “So?” “He knows.” Kinsley bites her bottom lip after a release of an exasperated exhale. “Fuck. How?” “Andrei said that hybrids have keener sensory skills than us.” “I have to tell Kayleigh before he tells her.” “I don’t think he will, but, I agree. You should tell her.” Tears fall from her eyes like water falls. “What’s wrong? Shit, Kensington. Did I s
Kayleigh “Baby… Can you please listen?” Cillian immediately cups my face and tries to sweet-talk me. But I just heard the most painful words I’ve had to hear in my whole 18 years of life. The man I chose, the alpha heir I gave my heart to, the werewolf who took my virginity --- made me fall in love with him for the sake of revenge. “No.” I’m not sure if he’s using his alpha aura on me, if he can even do that right now, that’s why even while I feel every thread of my heart shred to tiny pieces, I’m having a hard time pulling away from him. “It’s not what you think.” His scent is so strong that it’s doing some sorts of spell, hypnotizing me to stay put. It’s been an hour since I got the blood transfusion from Andrei. I’m feeling 100% better than I was before taking the hybrid blood. I asked everyone to give me time to get cleaned up after my friend and I annihilated the food Misha brought. I never thought I'd eat that much meat for breakfast, but I guess it's a good thing.
Kayleigh I run down the stairs unable to contain the excitement inside me. My mother is one of my best friends. I cannot wait to see her. I reached the receiving room in no time and I can feel a jolt of happiness as soon as I lay my eyes on my beautiful mom’s face. I run towards her and jump in her embrace without even noticing that a sob has escaped my lips. “Hey, hey… what’s the matter, pretty girl? I’ve missed you.” My mom whispers in my ear as she pulled me deeper into her arms. “Nothing. I miss you, too, mom. Why didn’t you tell me you were coming? Did something happen?” “I actually don’t know. Your dad was summoned by the wolf blood council and we didn’t waste any time worried that it has something to do with you. When you weren’t picking up our calls, your dad immediately had our staff ready the jet. Is everything okay, darling? Breanna called the other day. How are you feeling? Is the wolf surfacing symptoms manageable?” Genuine concern in her eyes shows. I wonder how
Kayleigh I roll my eyes upon hearing my mom compliment Kinsley’s beauty. She is oblivious of my ongoing little rift with the girl I despise. It is not Kinsley’s gorgeous face that makes me feel insecure but her ability to twist things on her favor. Or that she could do it shamelessly. I’m pretty sure she orchestrated this fake relationship charade just to have the opportunity to be called Cillian’s future Luna. It’s burning my insides watching them stand next to each other, seemingly like a real couple, and looking perfectly compatible for each other. I take a deep breath to fight the furious jealousy wanting to erupt within me. “You might be correct with that assumption, Bridget… I mean, Queen Luna.” Miss Bethany arrives and immediately joins our group. She reacts to my mom’s very wrong notion about Kinsley being the future Luna of the Blue Blood Pack. “Miss Bethany. I keep telling you, please call me Bridget. We don’t h
Cillian “What the fuck happened to you?” I pick up the call as soon as I was out of werewolf earshot, outside the manor. “Long story short, your sister. But the important thing is, I got your answer.” Gunner’s voice brings a massive relief to me. I was beginning to worry when I couldn’t reach him through mind-link since he left yesterday. “And?” The anticipation of knowing what he discovered is killing me. “Your hunch is correct. It’s a NO.” I give myself a few seconds to let that sink in. “Fuck. I knew it. What about you? What did my sister do?” If Kinsley is up to something, surely, my sister is part of it. “Your sister is on with the lie. She actually followed me to make sure I won’t find out the truth. She heavily wolfsbaned me yesterday. My body is still recovering. I can’t shift and can’t use my mind-link. I was so disoriented up about until several minutes ago. Which is when I realized I can call your phone. I’m sorry for the delay. I can’t believe Reagan did th
Cillian “Brother. Kins.” Reagan showing up isn’t a surprise to me since Gunner gave me a heads up, just minutes ago. “Look who the goddess has brought me, my prodigal sister.” I train my eyes on her as she walks by me and takes her place next to Kinsley’s side. Two peas in a pod, truly. “Hello, to you, too… brother.” Why she has the balls to snap at me after what she just did behind my back, and to our childhood friend, beats me. “What on earth do you think you’re doing aiding and abetting Kinsley’s devious plans of… you know… on me?” I purposely lower my voice to a whisper not wanting anyone from the board room to hear our conversation. “She’s my friend. I want her to be your Luna. Not some spoiled brat wolf-less princess who doesn’t belong here. I will leave this pack if you make Kayleigh your Luna.” I know that she isn’t fond of Kayleigh but I didn’t realize how deeply foamed her anger towards my mate is. “Thanks to the both of you I’ll probably end up wife-less and c
Cillian Holy Shit. I just realized what Gio’s words meant. You wish I was just dating her. “Reagan is the best candidate. She is fierce. Strong. Very intelligent. If anyone can steer the red wolves’ alpha, it would be my daughter.” My dad explains why he volunteered my sister for this task. “Over my dead body.” Gio snarls at my dad. “Gio, stop it. You’re making a scene.” Reagan holds Gio’s wrist and steers him to sit back down. “Pardon me, Alpha Gio. I didn’t realize that you’ve developed a protective streak for my daughter. Is there anything you wanna tell me? Reagan?” My dad narrows his eyes and bounces his sight between my sister and Gio. “Alpha. Dad. Am I just a bartering chip for you? Marry me off in exchange for peace? Without even asking how I’d feel? Let’s be honest here. The reason you want this arranged marriage has nothing to do with alliance of the packs. You know that the red wolves has a decent amount of wealth. You want to amass whatever money the red wol
