~Alpha Kayden~
The glow in Kiki's eyes mellowed down as her pupils returned to normal. They glowed for me in lust I guess. Maybe I should be scared like the others were, but Axel was drawn to them like a magnet. They evoked some deep carnal desires inside me, compelling me to go down on my knees and make her mine.
Resisting the urge to kiss her again, I stepped away from her. The hurt in those eyes clenched my heart. Axel begged me to take her into my arms and assure her I wasn't scared of her. It wasn't just Axel who wanted her right now.
"She's working her magic on you, Alpha. I don't think you should be alone with her."
I didn't think it was a good idea to be alone with her either. That swollen nub under her wet panties would definitely not let me sleep tonight. I wanted to fuck her right now, hard and fast up against the wall. I needed to get out of this trance but didn't really want to.
"Move her to the prison by Pier 37. And do-not-hurt-her."
~Kiki~Gusts of cool wind blew through the tall window of the prison cell as I sat bundled up on my bed, wrapped in several layers of a long, thick blanket. Pale moonlight streamed through while the crashing sea waves were lulling me to sleep.There was a strange comfort in being close to the ocean. The thought of having more frequent nightmares terrified me when Alpha Kayden mentioned Pier 37. I wasn't prepared to watch myself battling consciousness on that stormy night, looking for mamma. But I didn't get that dream even once after being moved here.My dreams were instead filled with sinful things I wanted to do to the Alpha. I was too shy to touch him much when he came to my bedroom on my birthday. He was very gentle and patient with me until much later in the night. But it was the rough, relentless touches that had kept me awake every night. How I regretted not running my hand over the bulge in his gray sweatpants when he pushed me against the prison wall to
~Alpha Kayden~Zeke sounded like Kiki was up to no good. But all Axel and I could think about was if she was okay. She had barely recovered from her wounds from the silver chains. I hated to drag her back to the dungeons, or even worse, to have to pass the death sentence. I couldn't keep overlooking her actions just because of an illogical gut feeling or because Axel wanted to think with his dick.He was super agitated right now, clawing at me to come out so we could reach Pier 37 faster. It was located three miles west of the packhouse, but I couldn't waste time going to the parking lot. The coconut groves and sandy beaches were a blur as we sprinted straight towards the prison while I quickly linked my Gamma, Nash, to come over. He was living it up at a seaside club because it was Friday night.I skidded to a stop when I saw Kiki from a distance, looking from over the wooden dock into the waters. My heart gave me a break when it realized she was fine; at least
~Alpha Kayden~Fuck!What was Victoria doing here? This was one of the worst nightmares coming true.Sienna's sister was as strong as Sienna. And I don't think Kiki would stand a chance until the next full moon.Since Victoria got permission from the Alpha King, I wouldn't have any say in it. An Alpha King's command could supersede every Alpha's command. And when it was about avenging their blood, Alpha King Kian was all for it.When his twin brother was still alive and leading the Storm Moon Pack, Alpha Kian was a peace loving, unambitious alpha who disappeared from the pack for days with his mate. He returned from one such trip to find out a neighboring pack, the Silver claw pack, tricked and brutally murdered his brother. Alpha Kian waged a war and wiped out the entire Silver claw pack out of rage.The Alpha King at that time didn't condone Alpha Kian's actions. In fact, he punished Alpha Kian for ruthlessly killing an entire pack by stri
~Kiki~ Beads of sweat matted Cel's fur while my heart was thudding against my rib cage as we locked our eyes with Victoria's mighty looking wolf. Her eyes were burning amber, radiating pure hatred and blinded with rage. She was harnessing this misdirected hatred to fuel her moves. Part of me was awed by how beautiful her wolf looked, while the other half of me was terrified of her strength and the will to defeat me. But it was just me who was scared out of my wits. Because, unlike me, Cel was pissed. She couldn't believe we had to defend ourselves to stay alive just because of some terrible circumstantial evidence against us. How cruel could fate get? I was tired of fighting it, but Cel was determined to show Victoria and all the spectators, as well as the bloody fate, that she wouldn't accept defeat so easily. Shifting first during a fight was a sign of weakness, and Cel was feeling anything but weak. That was the only reason keeping her from taking over. She was clawing at me to
~Alpha Kayden~"You didn't let the white wolf get Kiki's jugular. She's going to be fine, Alpha. You should get some rest." The pack doctor uttered these words as cautiously as he could for the dozenth time over the last few days. Three days...It had been almost three long days and Kiki had been in the critical care all this while, with no sign of waking up anytime soon. All the cuts and bruises on her body seemed to have healed, except for two gashes that ran deeper. The torn ligament in her leg didn't need wrapping anymore. I ran my fingers over a stitched-up wound and realized her skin was still burning up. Ignoring the doctor and my beta's eyes that were boring into me, I leaned over Kiki's bed to caress her hair. Soft brown curls framed her sun-kissed face, which looked paler than ever.Long shadows of the setting sun seeped through the glass window, casting a warm, hazy glow all over the hospital suite. This is where I had spent most of my last few days and nights, but today's
~Alpha Kayden~ Zeta Archer and his mate appeared to harbor extra hatred towards Kiki, probably because she grew up in their house and they felt responsible. Besides, the Zeta had also lost his best friend when Zeta Drew died on the Wolf Moon night. Both the zetas were my dad's prized warriors, and he used to value their opinion highly. Heck! There was no way that I was going to punish Kiki for all these mysterious deaths and disappearances until and unless she was found guilty. But what would I do with her if all these people were right about her? If she was really guilty, it would only be a matter of time before I found proof against her. A new scent overwhelmed my senses once I turned around the corner and approached grandma's room. As I raised my arm to knock on the door, a svelte brunette opened it from the other side, shooting me a quick, shy smile. Raising an eyebrow in confusion, I looked over her shoulder to find my grandma ready with some lame agenda of hers. "There, Kade
~Alpha Kayden~I was drawn to that glow like a moth was drawn to fire. Axel and I both knew there was something off about her. She looked like Kiki but did not smell like Kiki. Her typical smell was of warm vanilla and coconut, not saltwater and driftwood. I couldn't find any signs of her wolf either. That didn't stop me from walking in her direction."Alpha..." There was something very alluring and seductive about that voice and the way she looked at me while stepping forward."Kiki, why can't I feel your wolf?" I hadn't felt her wolf's presence since she fell unconscious in the arena."Cel is still recovering. She is too weak."Cel. Axel taunted me for not even knowing her wolf's name all these days."Cel?""Celeste." She took another step toward me, without stumbling or fumbling. Kiki was always too conscious around me, but not tonight. Her voice had a sultry undernote, which I never noticed before.Something told me it was the blood that woke her up. Her skin had the familiar gold
~Kiki~ The sky seemed to explode with booms of thunder, releasing its fury while dawn was breaking over the horizon. Gusty winds pushed raging dark storm clouds closer to the moon, making me feel sapped out of energy. The smell of wet soil saturated my senses as fat raindrops hit the parched sand beneath my feet. Something inside me was urging me to go back to bed, but there was this heavy squeezing feeling in my heart, making it difficult to breathe. My feet took me to the rippling waves as my knees buckled. Tears won't stop rolling down my cheeks while my vision blurred. I tried to force myself to gulp in as much cool air as I could, but ended up breaking into sobs instead. Ivory, the omega who did laundry for the training warriors, was racing to the locker room with freshly laundered clothes. When about a block away from where she was headed to, she thought she heard stifled cries that were drowned by the pelting rain and crashing waves. Setting the laundry basket down in a dry
