~KiaraI suddenly fluttered my eyes open and realized it was morning. My whole body ached as I was quite uncomfortable.My head began to ache as well. I shut my eyes and placed my hand on my head before looking to my right and there he was. Had he really slept there as he had said?“Good morning” Kaylan smiled at me. “I believe your night was awesome, wasn’t it?” He added. Indeed, he had really slept there and had been ‘my guardian angel’ as he had said.“It was far from perfect. It was so bad!” I buried my head in my palms. What now? How was I going to have my bath?“I need to leave right now. My job is completed” He answered and stood up almost immediately. I doubted if he had a minute of sleep as he looked so tired.“Wait!” I got up quickly and headed to the door. “How am I supposed to have my bath? I need to wash myself up”He looked at me for a moment and shrugged before heading out. Left with no choice, I sat in frustration, burying my head still in my palms. My whole body ached
~KiaraI looked around and I was still where I stood, at the edge of the window. Had it all been in my head or was I really losing my mind?“Get her” He ordered the guards “And lock her up again.” He ordered. No… no… no.. I could not afford to return to the pit hole.It was terrible and was definitely going to make me miserable.“Please! I promise not to try to run away henceforth. I cannot return to that stinking hell” I pleaded as I watched him walk away but he refused to lend me a listening ear as he continued walking away.I looked down to see if it was indeed worth the risk but to my greatest surprise, several guards had stood there, like they were all waiting for me and I knew I had no chance but to surrender. The guards held me and pulled me away, heading to the dungeon.“Please, forgive me!” I pleaded as they pulled me away. Keturah shook her head in disbelief as she stared at me like I had lost my mind.“Talk to him! I cannot return to that place!” I pleaded with her but she
~DamienAlthough I tried to pretend like it didn’t mean anything to me, I really wanted to know why Kaylan had gone to pay her a visit. Why had he spent the night with her?I felt sorry for her as I knew how uncomfortable it would make her. Seeing a stranger spend the night with you in such secluded place? I felt even so bad as she believed I knew about it. How could i? of course, If I was aware, I would have done anything and everything within my reach to make it impossible.I stormed out of the room in anger as I knew I had to find him as soon as I could and of course, talk him out of doing that. Of course, I knew he wanted to make sure she did not escape but that was not the best way to do it. It was creepy.“Where are the guards taking her to?” Keturah questioned as soon as she sighted me. I let out a sigh as I looked at her.“To her room” I answered her and crossed my arms behind me as I headed to the garden instead. I wanted to clear my head as I was in so much mess. I tried to
~DamienI tried to say a word but I was confused at what she had said. Die? I watched her as she let out a sigh and began to eat. Left with no choice, I stepped out almost immediately. There were several things I wanted to do but I knew I had to be very careful.I could not help but wonder what she meant by that statement but I knew it simply means she needed more security.I called out to one of the guards.“Ensure no one comes in here without my permission” I informed them and they nodded. I let out a sigh as I headed to the dining room. Unlike other times, it felt quite strange for me to eat alone as neither Kaylan nor Keturah was there with me. Kaylan on the other hand had loved to eat alone.As soon as I was done with my meal, I headed to Kayan’s room as there were lots of things that needed to be discussed. Unlike other times, his door was not locked and he was by the window, staring outside it. Regardless, I placed a knock on the door. He looked quite shocked to see me hence he
~KiaraI let out a sigh as I began to eat my meal but I was suddenly brought to a halt as Damien as well as the others burst into my room, without placing a knock.I was startled for a minute as they had frowns etched to their faces. What was going on with them all?My brows furrowed into a frown as I wondered how they would come into my room just like that? With no knock or anything? I was however overwhelmed by shock.“What is the matter?” I questioned. “How could you….”“How dare you!” Kaylan questioned and crossed his hands. I raised my brows as I stood up to behold them all. Keturah on the other hand crossed her hands and looked away from me like I had offended her.“What is going on?” I questioned them, looking at them from eye to eye. It still did not make any sense to me as I tried to figure out what it was that they wanted.“How could you?” Kayla questioned again.“Listen, I do not know what the problem is. I do not know what it is that you want but I do not have an idea of w
~KiaraI looked up at the Alpha as I was surprised. I had no idea what the Alpha was doing or what he meant. “What are we doing here?” I questioned as he pulled me into the dungeon but he had a frown on his face. “Are you here to lock me up again?” I questioned as I tried to yank off his hands from mine. He had a smile etched to his face.“Not yet” He answered. Not yet? He still had the thoughts to lock me up? I had not done anything. Why then was he trying to punish me? He really still believed I had something up against him? I was hurt and disappointed but I decided to watch what it was that he wanted to do. I was surprised to see the young man locked up in the prison and for a little while, I was quite confused. I had no idea of what to expect as I simply stared at him and then at the Alpha. “Here she is” The Alpha suddenly informed him. I was lost for a minute as I wondered what it was that he wanted to say. The stranger who was locked up looked up at me as though he had somet
~KiaraI was shocked to say the least as the last thing I had expected was to hear him say that. I shook my head as I did not seem to understand all that was going on. It all felt like a dream but I was certain it wasn’t. “I love you Kiara” He said lowly. I studied his facial expression to be sure I wasn’t dreaming or hallucinating and no, I wasn’t. His facial expression bore his feelings. I stayed still and watched him for a while as I still tried to process what he had just said.“Say something” He spoke lowly again. I shook my head as I tried to think of something to say. Just then, the door pushed open and I was shocked beyond surprise to see Keturah. My brows furrowed as soon as I sighted her and so did hers. She looked so upset to see me, perhaps, she believed I would be dead or something, I looked away from her as I was equally upset. I had no idea of what she wanted from me and why she was just being so cruel to me. I had no idea why she had changed so quickly. I was certai
Kiara's POVBait?I studied the grin on his face and accepted the fact that the Lycan King had completely lost his mind."And who the hell did you think you were to do that? Do you know how scared I was?""There was no need to be. I haven't hurt you since the day you came here, why would I start now?" His hazel eyes mocked me as he watched my spiralling reaction."Do you think this is funny?!" I nearly screamed at him. Maybe I did scream but I lost all control of my pitch the moment he told me I was bait. His beautiful lips twitched as though he was fighting back a laugh."A little."He had known. He had known all the while that I didn't have anything to do with that golden scepter business. Hell, I had been escaping that day. How could I have had the time to steal anything?I recalled how the blade had felt at my throat. The climbing fear and anxiety. The feeling of mortality, of knowing I'd died a worthless death in the Lycan King's captivity. All the while he had been joking, bait
