**Kira's POV**
“Are you insane?” Beta Marcus asked angrily, glaring at me. From where I stood, I could hear the elders begin to murmur amongst themselves.“I'd appreciate it if you speak to me respectfully. I am the Alpha's daughter, soon to be Luna, and I have you pay for disrespecting me.” I said proudly.“I’d advise you to simply step down from my throne without resistance because resisting would be a bad idea.” My voice was firm and held authority. Something that the past me wouldn't dare to do in a million years.“What prompted you to say such a thing, my dear?” The eldest among the elders and my favorite of them, asked.Elder Blake was the only person who understood my parents and me. After their death, his encouraging words and parental love was the only thing that made me get over them and as a result, I respected him. Also, he wasn't as selfish as the beta and the remaining Elders, who were only after money and favors.“Nothing prompted me, Elder Blake.” I smiled at him.“Then what is the meaning of this? We all agreed that you'd become Luna after you get married.” Another Elder snapped at me.“I am ready to take over my father's throne. I'll get married after that.” I replied.“That's impossible!” One of the elders sprung up. “You're still a child. What in the world do you know about being a ruler?”“Sit down, Elder Matt!” I ordered.The elders gasped. Elder Matt looked at me, shocked at my outburst.“I wouldn't like to repeat myself again. Sit down now!” I ordered authoritatively, my wolf rising to the surface but I held her in.When he saw how serious I was, he cleared his throat and sat down. My wolf was an Alpha wolf, just like my parent's, but I haven't been able to use it due to the kind of personality I had. I could compel whoever I wanted into doing what I ordered, after all, I am the heiress to the throne.“Kira, go back to your apartment.” Beta Marcus ordered but I ignored him, focusing on what I had to say to them.“Actually, I'm moving into my father’s room tonight. It is where I rightfully belong. I don't have the time to argue or batter words with you. You're stepping down from this throne tonight. I'm 18 already, so you have no right to sit down there.” I snickered.They all stared in shock, wondering where and how I got this courage.“Beta Marcus, the Alpha did say that you could step down whenever she asked you to. If she thinks she is ready, then she truly is.” Elder Blake sighed.“What are you talking about, Blake? She is a child and can't rule over us.” Beta Marcus argued.“A child wouldn't display the acts that she just did. A child doesn't know what rightfully is his or hers. She has come to take what's truly hers, so give it to her.” Elder Blake said.“Do you want her to rub this pack in the mud?” An elder snapped before turning to face me. “What is your problem? Do you think you could do anything you want because you’re the past Alpha’s offspring?” He snapped.“And enough reason I can have back my throne when I want it!” I snarled. “ The issue here is that you all are disrespecting me by arguing over what is rightfully mine.” I snapped.“Kira, give us some time to discuss. We will get back to you.” Another Elder said.“Let's say whatever we want to here. I am going nowhere. Didn't you hear me when I said I'm ascending the throne tonight?” I asked rhetorically.“Kira! Stop throwing a tantrum over what you cannot do. You can't rule.” Beta Marcus snapped, and in response, I turned to give him the stink eye.“I can rule better than you do, Beta Marcus, you’re no better than I am… and if you want to find out, Step down first.” I smirked.“Kira, you cannot—”“Don't plead with me, beta Marcus because I won't sit back and let you destroy my pack. Now, step down before I’m forced to do something we all wouldn’t like.” I smiled and clapped my hands.The maids ran into the throne room. I faced them, “Tonight is my coronation, ladies. I want you all to decorate the palace to my taste. Your beta would be stepping down, while I'll emerge as Luna,” They looked shocked but bowed and ran out to do as I asked.“Kira—”“Guards!” I called and they ran to meet me. “Spread the word. Tell the pack members to be in the palace today that Beta Marcus is stepping down, and I am becoming Luna. Now, hurry. I'm sure my subjects would be dying to see me rule them,” I chuckled.I turned to look at the elders. Elder Blake smiled at me and I returned it. Beta Marcus and the remaining elders glared daggers at me and boy, if eyes were bullets, I'd be dead.Well, I just made fresh enemies, but no backing down now because I'll make them all pay for everything they've done.Most of them duped my father while he was still alive, and Beta Marcus had been embezzling funds and stealing my father's gold for himself ever since he started sitting on the throne. No one is getting spared.“Wear your best robes, Elders, and get ready for my coronation.” I chuckled again.***“All hail the Luna!” The pack members bowed as Elder Blake placed the golden crown on my head and gave me the Scepter my mother once used. Their cheers became louder when I sat down on the throne.It wasn't easy making Beta Marcus step down, but I wasn't bothered because I knew there were going to be stumbling blocks when I chose this path and made this decision.I turned and saw Sophia standing side by side with Chad, looking at me with confused expressions on their faces.I chuckled at their expressions, relishing in the goodness of taking everyone by surprise.“You have to choose your beta now, Luna.” Elder Blake bowed.“She isn’t supposed to,I am still the beta of this pack.” Xavier said.“Not anymore. I'll pick another beta, but not now. There are a few bad eggs I have to clear out first.” When I said that, my eyes locked with that of Aiden and that feeling from earlier came again.I had the sudden urge to make him the beta, but waved it over. Come on, I hate this person. I quickly looked away from him.“Are you impeaching me?” Beta Marcus yelled angrily, causing a stir in the crowd.“Don't you dare raise your voice at me, Xavier!” I hit my Scepter on the ground and everyone gasped.“I am supposed to yell, Kira. What the fuck do you think you're doing?” He snapped.I stood up and went to stand in front of him. If he doesn't know how to show respect, I'll teach him.“I see you still haven't acknowledged that I am the Luna of this pack Xavier… I also noticed how you stood still when everyone bowed but chose to ignore it.” I seethe angrily .“…but now I won’t, I'll make you do what is necessary,” I smirked, and he arched his eyebrows in confusion. Everyone watched to see what I'll do.“Get on your knees and bow to me, Xavier.” I growled, and smirked when the crowd erupted into a loud noise.Chapter fiveI never knew taking revenge would feel so good like this but my face drenched when my eye met Aiden who stared at me completely shocked and once our eyes met he nodded negatively.I still didn’t care because Beta Marcus needs to know I’m in charge now and nothing can stop me, not even my father.The whole crowd cheered as Xavier went on his knees and bowed to me. I smiled satisfactorily and went ahead to get my stuff done.I did the right thing because for the first time everything felt right. After the coronation I went back to my room to rest because tomorrow is going to be a long day for sure.I was on my way to my room when a guard rushed in and went on his knees’ “Any case?”. I asked.“Elder Blake sent for you” He announced.“Oh! Tell him I will be with him shortly” I replied and he ran out immediately.I walked into my room and sent the maids and guards away.’ I will be fine on my own and I don't need them giving me a headache.“Kira” Sophia barged into my room scre
CHAPTER SIXSOPHA’S POVI quickly ran outside to meet Chad but he looked confused as ever but whatever made Kira yell at me like that simply means that they had an argument or something.“Chad, what happened?” I stopped when I noticed the guy from the mall standing there too.“What are you doing here? Are you trespassing in the palace?” I blew out questions to him but he humbly bowed and walked away.“You won’t believe what i’m about to tell you” Chad said, and that got my attention.“What’s that?”“That guy that left just now is Kira’s mate and they both just figured that out now!. How are we going to execute our plan with that on ground? '' He ran his hands into his hair in frustration.“That dirt is Kira’s mate?, no wonder she reacted like that. I would have done worse but that to our own benefit” I smirked.“What are you talking about?” He asked.“She doesn’t want her mate so we can plan it and make her marry you instead and tomorrow henceforth i will start feeding her with the po
CHAPTER SEVEN KIRA’S POV The look on her face says it all that, Chad was really fucking her before they both rushed down here. “ You know what? Goodnight.” She leaned forward to kiss my cheek but I stopped her just in time and signaled for her to leave. I was unable to sleep that night because I was so bothered about what the moon goddess had told me earlier. She had chosen my mate on purpose but it’s better for me not to know why till it is necessary and I totally agree with that without even thinking at all. The problem now is I have to start dating Chad to know what they are up to, especially now that they’re aware I have a mate already. I slept off with a lot on my mind. ``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` The next morning, I had gone to meet elder Blakes who put me through a lot of business going on in the palace but the problem now is I have to dress up for school before I’m late
CHAPTER EIGHT.KIRA’S POV.15th of April.I knew of this day. Today would be the day that he would ask me on a date to the cinema. Tonight would be the night he would ask me out. Tonight would be the night I would say Yes. The night that all my horrors starts. Only that today, history would repeat itself because tonight I will be Chad’s girlfriend again.Grrrrr!.My phone rang loudly and I snapped out of my thoughts, stretched forth my hand and picked it up.It was her. The Devil’s Mistress.I swiped it up and placed it on my left ear.“ Babesssss!.” Sophia screamed excitedly from the phone. It annoyed and irritated me so much that I wanted to slap her head off but instead just like two years ago, I reply with the same thing.“ Tell me girl!.” I yelled back, feigning interest and excitement.“ Chad wants to take us out to the cinema!.” She yelled and chuckled loudly.“ Oh my freaking gawd!.” I screamed too, faking it all so she wouldn’t find out.“ Hmm hmm! I did it girl. I am told y
CHAPTER NINE.19th April.Okay maybe I was wrong. Maybe just a little. Maybe much. I had no idea because it has been days, I meant long days and short nights since my last encounter with Chad and I was yet to be his girlfriend.Yes, you thought right. Turned out I was wrong and unlike two years ago, he wasn’t going to be asking me out that night. After cinema that night, he took us for ice cream and dropped us back at our various homes.Oh! I forgot to tell you.He almost kissed me. By almost, I meant I didn’t let him have his way.Okay, I knew you were going to get curious so I will share.Chad had helped me out of the car and just when I was supposed to go in, he gently pulled me back, sent me a smile that almost Mae me forgot the monster he was then he leaned in to kiss me. On the lips.Ewww!.The old me would have wanted that badly that night but the new me didn’t. Instead I moved my lips out of the way and his lips landed on my cheeks.“ Goodnight Chad.” I had said quickly before
KIRA’S POV.“ Huh!.” I exclaimed, my ears unable to believe what I had just heard.“ Marry me, Kira Villain.” He repeated and my eyes widened in shock.Marry?.That was never what I expected, instead I had wanted him to ask me out.“ I know it’s a bit too early but I can’t wait, Kira. Can’t wait to have you as the mother of my kids. Can’t wait to come home to you every day. But I will understand if you do not want to marry me. I will understand if you feel like it’s a bit too early and I promise that it doesn’t change anything between us because no matter what happens, Kira, I will always love you.” He confessed as he looked at me softly.I paused for a while to process it all. The sudden turn of event sending my head to reel speedily. It was as though I could hear voices in my head. Laughters. It was as though the moon goddess was laughing at me, making gist for me for believing that she would make things easier in this life.“ Say something, Kira. Anything at all.” He begged and I c
CHAPTER ELEVEN.SOPHIA’S POV.“ You mean he asked you to marry him?.” I asked, bewildered. She had called me about thirty minutes ago to inform me of the gist she had in store for me.But this. This right here was a shocker.“ Hmm hmm. He was literally on his knee, confessing how much he loved me and would want to build a family with me. He even said that I am the only she-wolf he would ever love. His eyes filled with love and affection.” She replied, explaining all in details and it pissed me off. Stepped on my nerves.“ Oh! Waw!.” I exclaimed, trying to conceal my feelings. “ So what was your response?.” I asked even though I knew what it would be.“ Of course I said Yes. You know there is no way I can let Chad go. He is mine.” She responded softly and smiled.I clenched my teeth at the mention of him being hers and formed my fingers into fists.“ Hmm hmm.” I hummed. “ I’m so happy for you both. I never expected it to be so soon though. I never thought he would want it that fast.” I
CHAPTER TWELVE.SOPHIA’S POV.“ I’m home.” It read and I quickly dashed towards the door, pulling it open for him.“ Hi.” He greeted but I said nothing asi stepped out of the way.I watched him walk into my apartment, his eyes on me. He pulled me into his arms in a hug.“ I missed you.” He whispered into my left ear and placed a soft kiss on it. “ Didn’t you miss me, baby girl.” He asked and pulled back to lock eyes with mine.“ I…I am pissed Chad. Angry that I had to hear something of such from her.” I said in a low tone.“ I’m sorry. So sorry.” He whispered, his beautiful eyes staring at me so sweetly. “ I got you this.” He said and stretched it to me.I took the bag from him and opened it to take a peep at the beautiful dress in it.“ Just the perfect dress for your date.” I said and watched his expression change into confusion.“ What date?.” He asked, raising his brow.“ Kira is planning a date for you both.” I informed, an hint of jealousy in my voice.“ Really? Even after refus
