**CIARA'S POV**
"How will I get these injuries treated?" I thought painfully. No one wants to associate with me like I am some plague. I could not cry. That is if there are more tears in my eyes. I chuckled bitterly.I carried myself into my bathroom and had a cold bath on my colored injuries. Ouch! It hurts. I could not take the pain from the cold. I wore my clothes and was about stepping into the room, my vision suddenly became blurry. Before you know it, I blacked out....*****************I found myself in the most beautiful place I have ever seen. A place with a beautiful waterfall with different colorful flowers and tall trees, the beautiful view of a rainbow during sunset, beautiful butterflies moving around freely and giving it a unique kind of peace. Then a butterfly came to my side, as I wanted to take it into my hand, it flew away. I started following it, trying to get to perch on my index finger but it kept moving away. Then it stopp**NICOLE'S POV**"Wakey, wakey." I heard Eunice call out from my deep sleep.I opened my eyes slowly."Sleepyhead." She said as she opened some package of food she had brought for me."I brought you some food." She said as she begin to serve it into a plate for me."You are quite happy this morning." I said and smiled.She smiled. I looked around and saw my brother also."Oh brother, never knew you were here." I said.He smiled."Ugh, looks like they've already reconciled." I thought."No longer fighting, huh?" I asked and raised an eyebrow.Xander went closer to Eunice and gave a small peck on her cheek."What does it look like?" He asked and smirked.Wait, did i just see something on Eunice's neck?"How are you feeling?" Xander asked."I am fine." I said, still looking at her neck. She noticed it and covered it. A shade of pink appearing on her cheek.I moved my hands to her neck, i removed her hands t
**XANDER'S POV**I finally marked her. My mark looked so beautiful on her neck."So beautiful, MINE." I said, pulling her close to me."MINE." I repeated again putting my head in crook of her neck. I licked it while she shuddered and moaned.If she was a werewolf, i would have been carrying her mark, but since she is a human, i still have visible love hickeys that she planted me during our sensual love making."So are you ready for your Luna ceremony?" I asked her."Yes." She said, almost immediately."Alright... Let's prepare for it." I said. Then i kissed her.**CIARA'S POV**Beep... Beep... Beep...The sound of the machine beside me slightly brought me out of my state of unconsciousness.I opened my eyes a little but closed it back sharply due to the bright light of the room. I tried opening it again slowly.... Ever slowly until i finally opened it completely. I looked around me, i was still on the hospital but i was no longe
**CIARA'S POV**If only they will permit me to explain. If only they allow me to give them the detail of what ensued that day, maybe - just maybe things would have been different. The pain of being blamed for what you did not do. The pain of being misunderstood, do you know it?.I.... I... I also lost my own parents and my mom... My mom was carrying my younger sibling in her womb... But she was also killed. I am in pain both emotionally and physically.Why am i always blamed for every bad thing that happen to them?Why?! Why?!Moon goddess, this is so unfair.When did my life become so miserable? so miserable that i don't recognise my self anymore.Ahrghh!"I am just tired, the pain is way too much, it is so unbearable.""Oh, death, i am ready, take me to the afterlife where there would be eternal peace.""Death, why don't you take me when i asked you?"."Why did you have to take everything from without permission from me?"
**XANDER'S POV**My phone suddenly started vibrating with different notifications buzzing in and it was disturbing to my hearing as i need to finish these paperworks as soon as possible.Well, did it stop? No, it did not.I stopped what i was doing and picked the phone." Oh, what the fuck is it? " I said frustrated as i unlocked it." Who is this? " i asked, narrowing my eyes for clear image of the picture. Wait.......I got the greatest shock of my life... My mate.... Wait... No.... Eunice with another male on a bed cuddled up together..... She.... She.... Definitely can't do this to me... No.. i refuse to believe that Eunice could cheat on me... No.... Impossible.... Never!I stood up immediately, the person who sent this was anonymous or else.... Luckily the person also sent the address of the place.In annoyance i threw my phone away making it smash on the wall. I left it broken and rushed out.***********On my way, i tried cal
**XANDER'S POV**I trusted her and she broke the trust. I loved her but she pretended to love me. What a waste of love!"Ahrgghh!!" I yelled as i threw everything in my office away.I felt betrayed and heartbroken. My so called other half slept with another man in an hotel. An hotel! Gosh, i have been a fool all along this while. Oblivious to see the real her.At the time i met her, i thought my years of staying alone was over, i felt like i had someone who i could come back to and cry in her bosom, i felt like i found who will be willingly and eventually stay by my side and won't leave, who will accept every part of me, who will correct me when i am wrong, but no, i thought wrong."Fuck, Xander, what have you done to your office?" Lucas yelled as he barged in."Hey, you had better watch your tongue, Beta." I growled at him, radiating my Alpha energy.He bared his neck in submission."But what is all of this?" He asked cautiously. Taking his w
**EUNICE'S POV**"Oh my god, my life has been ruined by a random stranger." I mumbled while crying. I sniffed back the mucus in my nose and dabbed my face with my palm.I got into the pack house and was welcomed with a slap on the face from Nicole.As soon as the slap landed on my cheek, i winced out in pain."Nicole, see, let me explain." I pleaded with her."Please, listen to me." I said, trying to hold her hands."Explain what?' She yelled and pulled her hands away."Explain how and why you cheated on my brother." She asked and let out a dry laugh then she jerked her hand away from me."I don't want to ever see you or talk to you again." She yelled at me and left."You need to calm down." I heard someone say. Someone i did not notice was there - Kira. She gave me a tissue."You want me to calm down if you had not left me with that stranger, i would not have been in this situation." I said to her tearfully or rather angrily, anyo
**XANDER'S POV**It hurts me to avoid her for a whole week, like a whole week. Although Killain was angry, he wanted to apologize to her for yelling at her but no, the plan will be ruined.I already postponed the luna ceremony, so she could have all the time she needed to take control of her self and also to calm down.When Killian won't stop wanting to be let out and yelling at me in my head, I took her favorite hoodie to keep him at peace and also to prevent him from going savage. I secretly went to her room to watch her sleep. She is human so she could not have possibly sensed me."Mate, meet mate." He kept chanting in my head."I have said it before, we need to give her some time." I said out of frustration."Mate..""Gosh, i am so done with the with this paperwork." I said and barged out of the office."I need to run."**EUNICE'S POV**Nicole ignores me now. Whenever we go to school, she behaves like i don't exist. It hurts seei
**CIARA'S POV**"Come to my office right now". The husky voice of Alpha Xander came booming in my head making me jump up in fear. I looked around breathing hard."Gosh," I said, touching my chest and trying to regulate my breath.Wait, did Alpha Xander just used the mind link on me?Shocked. I was shocked because it has been years, I mean, since like 10 years ago, he used the mind link for me. In that way, he made it look like I no longer belong to the pack. I need to hurry.****"Greetings to you, Alpha Xander," I said bowing my head as soon as I entered his office."As you know the luna ceremony is coming up in a week, so the preparation is starting tomorrow, guests will arriving soon at the pack, so make sure you do your duty." He said."Okay," I said.After a minute of silence,"Do you know the reason I did not overload you with work?." He asked.I shook my head negatively."It is because I want you to look healthy for
