***Keira's POV***“What do you think about what she said, Dark?”“I think she's lying,” the other said while watching intensely. I instantly went wide in shock. Were they reading my mind ? How the hell did they know I was lying about what I had earlier said?“Search the area, we must find what she's hiding!” He commanded. Just who was he? He was very good at finding out people's deception. Just then, he suddenly walked closer to me. “Listen, you had better not be found wanting, else I'm not sure if I'll keep you alive,” he whispered with a steady voice which made me blink with my heart racing hard and fast. My goodness! They will be found out soon. Moon goddess, can't you help us just once? Everyone is tired of escaping. “Please don't kill them?”Wow…seems she's really got something up her sleeves.”“You don't know how to lie, do you?” He asked, still staring into my eyes. “You fucking look familiar, but I can't seem to wrap my hands around where I've seen you before,” he whisper

**Keira's POV***The Alpha and my mom both stared at me like I was some alien who descended from the sky. I wish I understood the reason as to why they were staring at me that way. I was confused at that moment. “So, she's Keira?”The alpha asked, still staring at me. What the hell is going on? “Yes. She's the one. I never would have thought that she would be having a wolf again,” she said and burst into sobs. All of this didn't work on me. I could still remember what she said and did to me. How could she act all loving right now after what she did? She never ceases to amaze with all of her pretenses. “Alpha, you don't need to keep us here. You can send us on our way now, and I promise we'll never come this way ever again.”The Alpha, for one reason, stared at me in a daze, and I don't know why. “Keira, I still can't believe you're sitting in front of me. I've sent my best men to go searching for you. They aren't even back yet. I kept hope alive that you're not dead. Just as I f

***Keira's POV***“You must not know this, but the Alpha had spent his entire years searching for his long-lost family. He managed to find your mom just about a month ago, and nod you showed up right in front of his pack. The goddess indeed works in mysterious ways. Even though I didn't seem to show interest in what Dark was saying at the moment, I was literally listening to him but pretending not to care about what he was saying. “Now that you are here, I wonder what it would be. Will you be Alpha? If that's the case, doesn't this mean I'll be your beta?”My goodness! Just how old is this Dark? If I didn't know better, judging from the way he looked, I would have mistaken him for someone who's as old as Drake himself. But when he speaks, childishness is all over the place. “Why aren't you responding to the things I say! Is it because of our encounter in the woods earlier? You know that-”Just as he was trying to explain, I suddenly heard the voice of Abigail from the room ahead of

***Keira's POV***“Yes, why do you wish to see me?”“The Alpha would like to have a word with you over dinner.”“Oh, tell him, I'll be right there.”“I can't go to the Alpha without you. Since he wishes to see you, why don't we both go together?”“I creased my brow while staring at him. Was he for real?”“Wait a minute, you want me to go with you? And why should I do that?”“Because he wants to see you. You might not know this, but in our pack, which is now your pack, the rules are set differently.”“Oh, forgive me. You know, I've never actually lived in a pack for long before I got banished, so I'm totally unaware of the rules and regulations binding a pack. All the same, I don't think I want to go to him with you.”"But why not? Do you have another problem with me, now, Miss Keira?'”Dark asked, with a frustrated sigh. “I don't have a problem with you, to be honest. But I don't think we are that close for us to start walking together.”“I have a question I would like to ask you. Mi

***Emilia's POV***The moment I got into my room, I quickly walked over to the dressing mirror and sat down. I looked at myself in the mirror and gritted my teeth. I blinked back the tears that stood in my eyes, but it weren't going to budge. After trying to hold myself for some seconds, I had no choice and so burst into tears. This was so not what I had expected, but I just couldn't hold myself anymore. It was so painful, seeing my daughter look at me with scorn. I couldn't even defend myself in front of Ramona because I had no right to reprimand anyone when I did worse things to my daughter. To make things worse, I could tell that Keira was ashamed. Though she's been in the pack for a week now, she had never once come to see me. And why would she? This all started with me. If I hadn't made things come this far, nothing like this would have happened. I was the one who abandoned her first. No matter the reason, I did what I did. It was never enough to treat my daughter that way.
