Kira, a young girl full of love, was rejected by her alpha mate Jake after she broke the news of her pregnancy to him. She became even more heartbroken when she found out that her best friend had been having intimate moments with Jake and that they were also expecting a baby. Out of bitterness for the betrayal of her best friend and her mate, she cursed the both of them and told them that they will never be able to birth a baby. Because she couldn't take the heartache anymore, Kira decided to take her own life but was saved by Xavier, who she later came to know was her second chance mate. All was well until she found out a dark secret about Xavier and had to run away from his pack back to Jake after she committed a grievous offense. When she got back to her former pack, more secrets about her life and what fate had in store for her were exposed. Is Kira who she really thinks she is? What is her connection to Xavier and what was this dark secret that led her to commit a heinous crime?
view more~Kira~“Kira, wake up”I mumbled incoherent words unconsciously and turned to my side. A hand continuously pushed on my shoulders, disrupting the sleep that I think I worked hard for. I groaned in frustration and pushed it away, not wanting to be disturbed.“Kira, you need to wake up. It’s not safe here” the voice came again.That was none of my business. I wasn’t in a war zone so anywhere that isn’t in war is safe for me. Besides, I’m in a cell that my amnesia mate put me into. And I’m alone here. So what could possibly be the threat?Hold on.I wasn’t alone. There was someone with me in here. The same person who had been trying to wake me up for some time now. Slowly, I opened my eyes and tried to see who was there. The cell had gotten darker so it was probably late evening now, or even night time. I could barely see.“We need to leave immediately. I need you to follow me. I can help us escape from here”I curled back to the end of the cell, almost melting into the walls as the voic
~Kira~“We have orders from the alpha to lock you up in the dungeon. Please, follow us without resisting”I gaped at the guards who surrounded me. it was barely five minutes after I’d left the office of the doctor in charge of Xavier’s health. I’d been so weakened by the news that I received so I decided to sit in the reception for a while to process it.It was in the process of trying to get my bearings together that the three guards walked up to me to say that they got an order from Alpha Xavier to take me to the dungeon and keep me there for as long as possible. And without food and water, until I confess and tell them the names of the people who sent me to spy on the Pack.“I’m not a spy. I’m the alpha’s mate. You can ask him” I told the guards, trying to get whatever bounty they have on my head off.They looked at me like I was crazy, and then looked at each other. It was Xavier’s fault for not telling anyone that I was his mate. Because if he had, I wouldn’t have to do all these
~Kira~The private hospital didn’t look anything like I’d imagined it. When I heard a private hospital, I had expected a part of the Pack hospital, which was cut off from the rest of the building. But what I saw was entirely different.The private hospital was a totally different building, far away from the general Pack hospital. Usually, I hated everything that had to do with hospitals, but this one here has everything that could acme one feel relaxed. The antiseptic hospital smell couldn’t even be smelt anywhere around.Aliana had gone back after showing me where the hospital was. And now, I was being accompanied by a nurse. She got to a door and knocked twice before opening it, then she gestured me inside.Xavier sat on the edge of the bed, with a drip set in his hand, staring blankly at the wall. He didn’t look as terrible as I thought he would, but he looked a little weak. There was an almost invisible scar on his shoulder, which I assumed was where he was shot with the wolfsbane
~Kira~“The alpha seems to be a lover of flowers, seeing how he dedicated this whole expanse of land to it. Do you think he loves nature?”He stared at me for a while, realization dawning in his eyes. “That was nice. Very commendable”“What was nice?” I asked.“You curving my question like that. Avoiding it so smoothly to talk about the alpha’s taste in nature and flowers. It was so smooth that I almost went along with the flow” A smile tugged on my lips, even though I tried my best not to show it. Giggling at every little thing that a man says shows interest and I wasn’t about to have the man who’s somehow always in the garden, think that I’m interested in him. “Don’t tell me that you’re thinking of cheating on our mate with a random man” Keren chipped in before I could complete my line of thought.I was starting to miss the times when she was a dormant wolf. At least she doesn’t get in my thoughts and poke-nose into every discussion without permission. Besides, why would I want t
~Kira~All day long, I paced up and down my room, waiting for Xavier to come back just as he promised. But it was nearing evening now and there was no sign of him yet. My heart started to palpitate with the thought of something bad happening to him. I’d been told by the guards that Xavier had ordered that I remain in my room till further notice. But how long was I supposed to stay here waiting?What if the person who released the gun shot had shot him?But even at that, he was supposed to heal quickly. At least that was one of the perks of being a werewolf, and an alpha at that. And if he had healed quickly, then why wasn’t he back?I walked to my window and raised the blinds so that I could see what was happening outside. There were groups of girls gathered together and whispering. I strained my ears to hear what they were saying but try as I could, I just wasn’t a vampire with some sort of super hearing. I let the blinds down and plopped on a sofa. Maybe he just had other Pack matt
~Xavier~ My senses went on high alert and I instinctively ducked, using my body as a cover for Kira’s body. “What was that?” Kira’s voice trembled with concern, her eyes wide with fear as she clutched my hand tightly. My eyes darted left and right as I rose swiftly from the table, my sense ablaze with urgency. “I don’t know, but I have to find out” Almost immediately, four guards came into the dining room and I quickly handed Kira over to them to lead her safely back to her while I go to find out what the problem was. I was about to go out with the remaining guards when Kira grabbed my hand. “Where are you going?” she asked, her face white with fear. “I need to find out what the commotion is about. We might have had attacks from rogue werewolves. And from the scream that we heard earlier, a Pack member might have been wounded, or worse.” She gripped my hand even tighter. “But it’s not safe. Come with me and wait till everything is over” I forced a smile to my lips even though
~Xavier~I knew that there would be nothing like a friendly conversation between me and that scum of the earth who had reduced my mate to this. All I wanted to do was to forget my fist on his nose and enjoy the cracking sound of the tissues in them as it breaks. Hell, I wanted to give him a neck twist too, but that would be too merciful.I haven’t gotten a hang of what he did to her, but I could bet my balls that it would be the same cliché rejection and betrayal. That stuff was becoming way too rampant in the werewolf community. I still didn’t understand why the fuck anyone would be with someone that they claim to love, only to reject them when they find out that the moon goddess has granted them an eternity together. Looking at her swaddled in my arms, and crying so pitifully, I wished there was a way for me to shield her from all the pains that she was feeling. I had this urge to protect her from every little thing or anyone that could hurt her. Including me.But we are supposed
~Kira~I almost choked. No, scratch that. I did choke on my food as I heard the insinuation of what he said. My face turned red as my airflow was restricted and the food got into somewhere that it wasn’t supposed to get in.Who would have thought that the tight-faced man that I saw on my first night here would be this open and flirty? One would almost think that he barely talks about anything.“Here; have some water” he calmly stretched a glass of water towards me as I fought for my life.Gratefully, I took the glass and downed it, then handed it back to him. My eyes were all teary and I suddenly felt embarrassed of what had happened.“Are you alright now?” he asked, looking at me with concern.I nodded briskly. “I’m sorry for the mess that I caused” In reply, he just took a napkin from the table and reached out towards me. Then he helped me dab my lips to remove any food particles that might have escaped during my coughing spree. I understand that it was meant to be a noble gestur
~Xavier~I stomped to the kitchen, hot flashes going through my mind. I’d almost lost it back there and marked her without her consent. I’m slowly starting to lose my hold and authority on my destructive wolf who wants to destroy everything. I couldn’t understand why my relationship with my wolf was different. We were supposed to be in sync and be in agreement at all times. But no. Xeros always wants to have his way at all times. When I got to the kitchen the head butler and the other staff there looked like they just saw a ghost. I couldn’t blame them. The last time that I came to the kitchen of my own accord was when she was still alive. I used to come every morning to make her pancakes and Bacon. It was her favorite food. But ever since she died, I’d just never bothered again. I mean, what was the need?“Alpha Xavier, you’re here. Do you need us to make something specific for you?” Sam, the head butler asked.I could see the other assistants cowering in a corner, avoiding my stare
