Kira's POVWhile we walked nothing was said. I didn't know what to say and he on the other side didn't know what to say. Xavier walked past us. He didn't say anything to Ken, but he kept staring at me, the same way Ken stared at me before. Did they know something I didn't?“Where are you taking me to?" I hastened my footsteps to meet up with Ken. He didn't say anything until we got to an empty class. Then he spoke. “Where did you go recently?" he asked, totally ignoring my question."What business do you have with that?”"You don't understand Mirabel, I have to know” he sounded urgent."I am not telling you" How else would I tell him I followed a note that led me to a vampire, without looking stupid?When he realized I was going to be my usual stubborn self, he did the most surprising thing. He removed my hair from my neck to check the skin under it.“What are you doing?" I snapped at him, moving away from him, but he held me firmly by my hand.“Where did you go, Mirabel?" his eyes s
Ken's POV.In the past 4 years, the last words I thought I would say to Austin were. “I agree" Being difficult wasn't going to do me any good. Plus I thought Marcus wasn't my problem until he did what he did to Mirabel.“Now how the fuck do you plan on bringing him down?"“He has a team, we just need our team. If he is overpowered, he will leave LA" he said and I scoffed.“You make it sound so easy" “Of course, it's not easy. He is manipulative and can maneuver his way through anything""Why is your Alpha not in support of this?“"He feels Marcus fears him too much not to go near his pack members”I chuckled. Of course, his ego always had a way of preventing him from seeing things the right way."And you think the pack member will decide to follow you when their alpha is not in support of the movement? “"They don't know he is not in support”"Your plan is risky because the moment they find out he is not in support. They will crawl to their alpha and leave you on your own. All wolve
Kira's POVKen had told me not to come anywhere close to the sitting room, but my nosey nature couldn't be tamed. Plus when someone is about to die, you can take any form of risk to get answers to your questions.I was desperate at that point. Two days felt like two hours. I was staying at Ken's house. It was only possible because I told Rebecca I would be spending some time at Christine's house.I got down the stairs stealthily when I heard the voice coming from the sitting room. They were all vampires and there was a chance I was going to get caught, but that didn't stop me.The kitchen was close to the sitting room, so I went there so I could get everything they were saying.While I listened to the conversation, I couldn't help but wonder how powerful Marcus was and why they were trying to take him down when he was the only one who could reverse what was happening to me.It didn't make any sense. Who was Frederick too and why did Ken hate him? That question was unnecessary, but I s
Kira's Pov"Mirabel we need to talk" I read the message from my phone and my heart leaped for joy. I was happy Austin finally wanted to see me, but all my ecstasy left when I realized I had to stay with Ken since he was the source of my strength.I couldn't just leave Austin like that. I wanted to see him. I couldn't even contain my happiness at the thought of seeing him.I kept thinking of the possibility of Austin also being able to do the same thing Ken did. Since he was my mate, he couldn't also be a source of strength to me and I wouldn't pass out.With that assurance, I jumped off my bed. I was supposed to be sleeping since it was late, but there was no way I would be able to sleep when I knew I could be with Austin instead.I sneaked out through the window because the last thing I wanted was for Ken to find out I was leaving the house. He was strict and at the same time overprotective. I couldn't wait for everything to be over with so I could put him in his place once and for
Kira's POVThe mumbles around me was what woke me up. The light that peered into my eyes almost gave me a headache. I finally opened my eyes and I was stunned. I was surrounded by both Austin and Ken. People I didn't think will ever be together.“Finally," Ken said. His face held relief. That was strange because of the Attitude he had been giving me.Austin on the other hand watched me closely probably to see if I was strong enough to even sit up.I felt okay like I didn't pass out a while ago. Probably because Ken was there."How long have I been out?” I asked as I stood up."Couple of hours” Austin answered. "Are you okay?”"Funny how you are asking that question. You were the one who caused this” Ken spoke up and I sighed. It was going to be another round of bickering. I didn't understand why they wouldn't just relate with each other for once."If you didn't introduce her to your vampire friends, her life wouldn't be in danger"Ken got closer to Austin and the atmosphere tensed up.
“Marcus show yourself." Ken finally spoke and my heart skipped a beat.Marcus was there with us.I was about to heave closer to Ken because of how scared I was, but before I could get to where he was, someone yanked my hair forcefully and pulled me closer. It happened faster than I could even breathe.“Let me go" He had his arm around my neck firmly from behind. I still remembered his scent. How could I forget the scent of the man who almost made me piss my pants as a result of his intense gaze?“Over here Ken," he said even though ken was already looking at us. Anger was visible in his eyes. I had never seen him as angry as that before.His grip around my neck was so tight but wasn't killing me. I wasn't fooled. The strength of a Vampire could be deceiving. I knew he could reap my head off its body if he wanted to.“Don't come any closer Ken" Marcus tightened his grip around my neck and I had to scream. “Don't... Do... Don't come. He's going to kill me" I screamed at the top of my v
Kira's POV“How was your stay at Christine's house," my mum asked and I wished I didn't have to answer her questions.“It was fine mum" I mumbled under my eyes. I couldn't even hide the tiredness in my voice. I just pray she couldn't hear it because that would lead to more questioning.I dragged my feet to my room. The first thing I did was lay my tired back on my bed. I breathed out sharply because it seemed like I had been holding my breath for a long time.I took my phone that was in my pocket. I didn't know if I should call him or not. I was talking about Austin. I held the phone in my hand but dropped it on the bed again. Even if I called him, what was I going to tell him? He was probably broken or thinks I wanted to be with Ken since I was in his house and all.While I lay on the bed, there was a knock on the door and I groaned in frustration. I didn't want to stand up. I just wanted to lay on the bed and wallow in my misery.“Mum I'm not in the mood" I yelled thinking it was my
“Watch me”. I glared at him about to leave, but he held my hand“Mirabel, you can't do that," he said and I snatched my hand away from his grip.I folded my hand under my breast. “Then you have to do it yourself"Are you out of your mind Lindsay? Do. You realize you are dead if you do that"“Why do you care about that? The last time I checked, you didn't want anything to do with me. I thought you hated me so much. so why act like you fucking care. Huh? Tell me" I yelled at him. I thought he was going to ignore me like he normally did, but he didn't.He sipped his hand around my waist and dragged me closer to himself. Within a few seconds, I was in his arms. Without warning, he brought his lips to mine and kissed me. I was stunned, too stunned to even kiss him back.It felt like heaven, like something I had never felt before. It was different. I could feel the fire building up in my body. I kissed him back because he was hard to resist. Our tongues gilded simultaneously as our lips co
