KYRA’S POV
We stared at each other for an awful amount of time. I almost thought that everything was coming to an end. My life was literally coming to an end. How could Blake be my mate?
“Kyra?” He queried, stunned.
I stared at him, at a loss on what to say. He said something under his breath. I watched him morosely as he looked around, like he wanted to be sure that no-one was at hair’s breadth.
“Come with me,” he demanded.
I swallowed. “Why should I come with you?”
He gave me a look. “Because I said so. You have no room to talk to me that way. Do you understand?”
I swallowed hard. “But, I’m your mate.”
Blake looked heavenward. “I said, you should come with me,” he snapped.
A shiver rocked through me. This wasn’t how I wanted my night to go. I had no idea what he would do to me.
Was he going to accept me or not? I couldn’t help but look at his broad back as we walked through the corridor, and down the path leading to the garden.
The moonlight was so bright as always. And, for a minute I imagined that Blake would accept me, as we forgot all our insecurities.
I wished for that a lot. I wanted something good to come out of the night. It couldn’t end in complete pain.
“Here we are,” Blake mumbled calmly.
The moon shone brightly on us, illuminating every part of our skin. As he looked at me, I felt like kissing him. The feeling was so strong, that even fear couldn’t shield it. Yet, I didn’t take a step. I just couldn’t.
Blake walked forward and looked at the sun. “The moon goddess gave you as my mate. I can’t say anything about it. But, she has also given us the power of choice. It would be my will to reject you or not.”
Tears burned at the back of my eyes. I had no idea what he would say, but I wasn’t mentally prepared for it.
He turned to me, and looked at me through the bridge of his nose. His eyes were so cold, I felt they might cut glass.
“I don’t accept you as my mate.” He grounded out.
My heart sped up so fast. “You can’t do this to me,” I cried.
He glared at me. “Shut up! I can do worse than this. If there was a way to completely reject you, I would do it. But, I’m not ready for the effects that would bring. But, think that I’m dead to you. None of the pack members must find out that the future Alpha of the Blood Moon Pack is a mate to a girl with no identity. Do you understand?” He snapped at me.
I stared at him. “How can I hide it?”
He grabbed my arm roughly, as he shook me. “Don’t ask me stupid questions, Kyra! I don’t care how you do it, but none must know that I’m your mate. I will make your life a living hell if that happens.”
I looked at the lilies that were struggling to take root on the garden floor. “Do you accept me or not?”
A smirk adorned his face. “Keep guessing. You’re no-one to me, Kyra. I only belong to one person. You never met me as your mate, and that’s final.”
Before I could ask him any more questions, he took to his heels, crumbling my happiness in the mud.
I sank down on the floor, as tears brimmed in my eyes. I couldn’t even understand which was worse. Was it the fact that he didn’t reject me outright, or the fact that he left me hanging in an uneven balance?
He had been so disgusted that he had been paired with me as his mate by the moon goddess. Then, how come he didn’t reject me? It would have been easier, wouldn’t it?
I looked around the beautiful garden, and almost screamed. This was so unfair. I couldn’t get my wolf, but I got a man who didn’t like me, not to talk of loving me.
Why was I so unfortunate?
I walked to one of the lilies, and plucked one from its branches. It looked so pretty in my hands, but I know it will wither soon. That was literally how I was feeling.
But, if I could make him see that I was good, and not as bad as he had initially thought I was, then he would accept me. Yes, that’s it.
I threw the lilies down, and without thinking took the long route back to the pack. My heart was barely at peace as I walked. I was only trying to be strong, and not break down.
I was about to enter the pack house, when a couple caught my eyes. It was Blake and Cindy. Their lips were locked in a passionate kiss. He was literally groping her, as the image was squeezing at my heart. I couldn’t really believe that this was happening.
I opened my lips to call his name, but stopped.
Tears streamed down my eyes in currents. He was so happy kissing this woman like he didn’t know moments ago that I was his mate. I felt like I was getting shattered from the inside with no-one there to help me go back to momentum.
How could this happen to me?
I ran into the house before Blake could see me. He was a literal bastard. How could he even do this to me? What was my fault?
I couldn’t help the fact I know no one in my family. I wished I did now. How did I end up in that forest? Why did I?
I opened the door to my room, and threw myself on the bed without thinking twice. I was so hurt. Tears spilled onto my pillow. I had no-one. Even my mate wanted to have nothing to do with me.
What type of life was this?
KYRA’S POVI tried hard to sleep. I honestly did. But, it seemed like small pins were piercing through my heart in ways I couldn’t describe. Oh, moon goddess! What did I do to deserve this?I shot out of bed as quickly as I had gotten in. I had to talk to Blake again. I couldn’t just take all he said like that. It hurts so hard when he kisses someone else.If he didn’t want me, it would be best for him to reject me. I wasn’t so strong that I would bear this pain continuously. I grabbed one of my coats, and walked out of the room, repeatedly heating my heart in a bid to stop the pain I felt.The house was so quiet, save for the occasional sound of winds crashing through the trees. Maybe I should go back? No, it won’t be scary. Maybe that’s why I didn’t get my wolf due to my incessant fear. I will have to learn how to be bolder.With that thought in mind, I walked through the hall, and into the main suites. I was about to step outside, but the sounds of pure arousal greeted my ears.I m
KYRA'S POV In the darkness of the room, I sat and tears ran freely down my face. I didn't know which room I had run into because I was in a hurry to get out of sight.The broken pitcher was still out there and it was enough that they didn’t know how the pitcher broke or who was there. It would have been worse for me if they found out I was there.More tears flowed and my heart almost gave out. I tried much to control the sobs; I guess they were getting louder by the moment. I didn’t care if it gave out my location.After a long time of crying, I felt the weight lift from my chest and my sobbing subsided. It was while I was sniffing in the tears that were left that I noticed where I was.I had run into one of the store rooms. The moon was at its brightest as its rays poured through the window, on a large pile of wheat on the far side of the wall.Almost every other thing was in the dark. Many of the wheat was stored in bags but I didn’t know why the ones on the ground were left where
At first it was blurry, and then it became clear. The singing was still there. The face I saw had arching eyebrows and a serious look. The eyes were small and round like almonds, the skin was the color of a freshly powdered face. Then the singing stopped and the face came closer to mine, almost touching it. “She is awake now.” This person shouted to someone I was not seeing, someone who must be sitting away from me. I saw the hair, full, wavy and unrestrained. It had the color of leaves in the fall. My eyes looked around. There was the ceiling made of wood, and I tried to move my head but I couldn’t. It seemed to me it was stiff, held by some unseen factor. I made to get up but pain racked through my head like lightning; I fell backwards.“You had a concussion. You should rest. Or are you in a hurry to go somewhere?”I didn’t say a thing. She took her face away and continued singing. The song was piercing and sad and spoke of a long lost country, more like my story. I listened in qu
Kyra's POV My heart skipped a bit as I pondered on what was to be done. I knew I couldn't allow herself be found there by Blake, most especially and neither could I try to leave. I was stuck and had to come up with something as swiftly as possible. I wouldn't want to be used as a sacrificial lamb fur anyone. Just as I was still trying process what to do, the door to the room flung open, revealing both men with broad shoulders and heavily built chest. I felt my heart jump out of my heart and I knew I was done for. "Yes, and what are you looking for here?". Blake's thick and baritone voice seeped through to me, causing me to shiver but I managed to gather myself immediately. I straightened myself, cleared my throat and then began. "I was on my way to fetch some water when the jar fell and broke into pieces sir. I didn't mean to bother or disrupt your conversation sir," I muttered and hoped they would believe me. Well, they didn't have any Reason not to believe me. I mean, it was
Cindy's POVAs I raced out of the room to meet Blake, only one thought filled my mind and that was happiness. I felt so happy even though I had not the slightest idea what he wanted to talk about. I was hoping it was something interesting and not one that would dash my hopes, but from the looks on his face, I could tell that it wasn't something sad he was about bti share with me. Few seconds later, I was standing in front of him with a wide grin like a child who was given some candy. "You look so excited? Why?" He inquired, puffing my cheeks. I blushed at his pull and muttered some words in objection to it even though I loved it."You! You make me happy and the smile on your face tells me that I have to be happy, so what's the News? Go on and share it quickly,' I hastened him up as curiosity got the better of me. I fiddled with my palm, waiting for him to speak up. When he finally did, he cleared his throat and stared up at me."Would you like me to share something with you?""Yes,
BLAKE'S POVI was shocked at my father's word and couldn't hide it one bit. I also couldn't understand why he wanted me to him in search of her instead of sending out one of his commanders. "Does he perhaps suspect me? And why can't he just let her go. It would be so nice if she isn't here anymore." I said to myself with a sulking face than I'm sure he must have noticed."Alright dad. I'll do as you say," I mutter and dashed out of the room, dragging my feet as I went. I sighed, staring into oblivion. My head turned around in search of one of the commanders who were always in sight, wanting to see my father for one reason or the other but there were none. I was a bit disappointed. It was going to be a really stressful day ahead but there was nothing I could do. I couldn't go against my father's instructions. Luckily for me, I found two soldiers standing by the side of the building, gesticulating widely like that was the job they were appointed to carry out. I was pissed and Couldn't k
KYRA'S POV I turned my head backwards and was shocked to see a man standing in front of me like he was about to hurt me. Fear gripped me as my eyes drove through the height of him. "Who are you and what do you want from me?" I queried, stuttering uncontrollably like I had stuffed my mouth with something. He had a really frightful physique such that anyone who sees him immediately develops fright."I should be asking you that question, young lady? What are you doing here or haven't you heard that this place is always filled with rogues and all?" He asked with a sarcastic grin, smacking his lips at me. I shivered, trying to process the look on his face. It aligned not a bit with the words of his mouth."I'm heading to the pack just across the mountain," I muttered in a low whispering voice, my hand shaking uncontrollably. I was in fear and all my attempts to keep calm proved abortive. "You look so beautiful…You would serve a Great purpose to me. I heard someone warm me up. It's quite
KYRA'S POV I continued to struggle with the men but for how long could I struggle against those hefty men with broad shoulders and all. A single blow from one of them would send me reeling to the floor but I didn't give a damn. I continued to struggle with them, flapping my hands and legs in the air. "What kind of girl is this?" I heard one of them say as their leader approached me and cupped one of my boobs in his hand. I felt a sharp pain flow through me as his hand fiddled with my boobs. I cursed under my breath, biting my lower lips to hold in the pain I felt."Such succulent boobs she's got!' I heard him say to the one who held my hand down. He was still toying with my boobs when I heard the thick baritone voice of a man boom through to us. "Let go of her!" He ordered in a loud voice that startled me myself. The rogue stared at him and then Burst into a long laugh. The reason for their laughter wasn't far-fetched. They found it strange that he had come all by himself and wanted
