Chapter 40Kieran's Pov As I made my way out of the room, I couldn't help but play the events of the previous day. She'd enjoyed her day and so had I. But all of sudden, she couldn't stand the sight of me. My heart felt tight and King had been very quiet since she started ignoring us, we were even blocked out of her mind. “..Alpha?” I heard someone call and I snapped out of my haze to stare at my beta and gamma who took a glance at me and back to each other. I definitely didn't sleep well and now, I am lost in thoughts. “What?” I asked harshly and they gulped, I considered apologizing for my tone but I was feeling too hurt and preoccupied by thoughts of kaia to even think of doing anything else. “We have to go train with the new recruits, Alpha” And with that, they both left me in the office alone and I felt the wheels in my head turn. What recruits? Recruiting of new warriors was not till a month from now. I didn't care to think much about it because my mind soon went
Chapter 41 Ryder’s POV -(To show you his view on his relationship with Allie) I have never been so confused…maybe I have, but this was just over the top. I wanted a mate, one that the moon goddess prepared for me. I wanted something like what Caleb and Dani shared and even Kieran. But at the same time, there was no denying the attraction I felt towards Allie. And for the longest time, trying to ignore felt like a waste of time especially when she felt the same way. Before she clocked eighteen, that was two years ago, I hoped she was going to mine. That hope was crushed when my wolf didn't recognize her as ours…even Kaid was disappointed. But one thing led to the other that night and ever since then, a part of me couldn't stop thinking about her, misses her when she wasn't close. “What are you thinking hard about?" Caleb asked, jolting me back to reality. “Taking over your position." He snorted, “if you weren't so lazy, I'll believe that?" He said. “I'm offended." I sai
Chapter 42Kaia's POV After Kieran's conversation with his mom, things got worse. And it didn't help that a few members of the pack heard about it, so they sometimes glared at me without saying anything. Dani also tried her best to assure me that with time, she'd come around but I'm sure even she didn't believe that. But now, I focused on ignoring everywhere that she might go. I couldn't exactly talk to Allie, it was her mom we're talking about and the last thing I wanted was for her to hate me too. “Allie isn't like that." Lylah assured me. I sighed, "I know. I hate that Kieran is going against his mom because of me.” My mom wasn't here, but I know how much I would give to make sure she was happy. "Would you have left your mate if she wanted you to?” Lylah aaked, and a look of horror crossed my features. “Of course not,” I replied, offended that she'd even think that. "Exactly, then why are you worried about our mate leaving us because his mother chose to be an
Chapter 43 Kaia's POV Instead of going back to the pack’s hospital, I stayed in Kieran's arms in his office, enjoying the warmth his body provided while trying not to think too much. Kieran could tell that something was on my mind, but he just watched me without saying anything…I did say I didn't want to talk about it. “Oh," I started, sitting upright abruptly, causing Kieran to go into protective mode. “What's wrong, Bella?” He asked, his voice laced with concern. "Are you hurt?” His brows furrowed in confusion, but he still checked his body just in case there was something he was missing. I fought back a smile at how confused he looked. “I heard training was intense today and I met some people in the hospital, injured during training and then I tried mind-linking you but I didn't get a response.” "I'm sorry you were worried.” He apologized, pulling me into his arms again and I didn't fight it. "You know what will make me feel better?” I asked. His eyes n
Chapter 44Kaia’s Pov I smiled softly at the thought of waking up beside Kieran, but the smile was quickly wiped away from my face when instead of his warm body, I felt the empty spot beside me and I frowned. “Where’s he?” I wondered. For someone who threw a tantrum because I took a bath without him, he sure doesn't learn. “I'm at the training grounds Bella, you were sleeping so peacefully, I didn't want to wake you up” Kieran's voice said through our mindlink and a smile covered my face. “Why do I forget that he could read my thoughts?” “You should have woken me up” I argued and he chuckled lightly. Just like him, I've gotten used to waking up beside him. Being with him somehow makes me forget my problems…most of the time. “I'll do that next time, Bella.” He assured me and I chuckled as I stood up and walked into our adjoining bathroom. “You better.” My voice was light. I frowned, my interaction with Laura coming to me. I didn't mention it because it felt
Chapter 45Kieran's Pov A smile crossed my features when I ended the mindlink with Kaia. I heard part of her protest and it was cute. If I was going to suffer, she must go through the same thing. “How's the Luna doing?" Ryder asked, coming close to where I stood. I frowned, “Why are you here?" He shrugged, “you have a weird smile on your face, and what better way to find out what the reason is and win a bet." He replied nonchalantly. “A bet?" I repeated. “Those kids never learn to not bet against me. Or how do you think I got out of patrol last week?” He asked and my frown deepened. “I'll just leave." He grumbled, going back in the same direction he came from. I shook my head as I got back to training. A lot of the teens got their wolves the previous day and it was necessary to teach them how to control it, especially with transforming. Having woken up early to start, we finished in no time and I was back in the room to take a quick shower. Kaia's smell lingere
Chapter 46 Ryder’s POV (When he finds his mate) Kaid was going crazy in my head ever since we left Allie's room a few hours ago. He didn't say anything so I assumed it was because he didn't want to leave Allie's side. I was done with the early morning patrol and was making my way to Kieran's office to give him a report. But with each step I took, a weird but delicious smell hit my nose. And Kaid was going even crazier…because that's the only way to explain his next word. “Mate…I can feel mate.” He said, and the entire world paused. "That's not possible.” I argued, but Kaid growled in response. "Find mate.” He repeated, with a sense of urgency that I couldn't ignore. “What'll happen to Allie?” Was the first question that came to my mind. “Find mate!" Kaid growled again and I pushed the thought of Allie to the back of my mind and began following the smell. I came to a stop when I reached Kieran's office where Caleb was standing in front of the door and the smell ha
Chapter 47Kaia's POV Two weeks later, I couldn't be more relieved that Kieran had Laura sent out of the pack and as much as I hated to admit, she had managed to get some of the pack members on her side while I still couldn't get them to see me in a different light. Kieran's mom also left for a while, so in a way, things were going back to how they used to be. And now that Allie was back, she hadn't stopped apologizing for the whole thing with her mom, but I assured her that it was fine. I was already happy that she didn't let it come between us. “He makes me feel like I'm on top of the world!" Allie said, "but I can't help but feel worried.” “Why?" Dani asked, “did something happen?" She shook her head, “I don't know. He hasn't really been present." She sighed, “If I didn't know any better, I would think that he's avoiding me." I scoffed, "that's not possible, he cares about you too much.” Lylah snorted, "so did you, but you ended up ignoring our mate.” "Not the
Chapter 150 Allie's POV There was a permanent grin on my face, not even the scumbag of Kaia's adopted father could ruin it. How one person could be that shameless was beyond me. It was barely over a week since Katherine had been with us and instead of being worried, he was already finding ways to replace her. He was worse than a pig which sleeps around. I decided to take a look around the Pack where Kaia grew up in even though she didn't have the best time. “The Pack looks cursed." Rhea mocked. “I wouldn't be surprised if it is. The moon goddess does like playing games." Pack members who were outside had their eyes on me, as they murmured to each other, asking who I was and what I was looking for but nobody spoke up. I stopped in my tracks when I realized I didn't tell Ryder anything and I didn't put it past him to be panicking if he didn't find me once he was done. So I decided to go back before I was tempted to treat all of them a lesson for being idiots. “We
Chapter 149 Ryder's POV With the new information on ground, Kieran wanted to catch two birds with one stone. So all hands were on deck to make sure that this plan was a success. But he had a separate mission for me. Nora had mentioned that after Luna Kaia was born, a locket was worn around her neck so that when she grew up, she would have an idea about her identity but obviously, she didn't see it which means it was still somewhere in her former Pack and her Dad…adopted father would have an idea about it. We knew almost everything about her identity, but it was the last and probably the only thing Luna Kaia received from her biological father, so I was going to get it back and probably put some sense into him. “How many days are you going to spend there?" Allie asked, pouting as she watched me get ready to leave. “I should be back at the latest tomorrow…I don't think I'm going to survive more than a day without you.” She grinned widely, "how about I come along? It'
Chapter 148 Dylan's POV I was in shock as I continued staring at the girl…Nora. The way she put herself in front of me was making my wolf go crazy. My mind was no longer on what was being discussed in the room, all I wanted was to talk to her…alone, to confirm I wasn't imagining things. “Keep your eyes on her," Alpha Kieran commanded, bringing me back to the present. “I need to talk to Ryder about something." Nodding slightly, I led her out of the office and immediately we were out, she hastened her footsteps, trying to get away, but I was fast, grabbing her arms and the sparks which I had thought was a fragment of my imagination earlier, shot through me again. I could tell she felt it too. “What was that?" She feigned a confused look, “what was what?" She asked, snatching her arm out of my hand. I let out a frustrated sigh, my wolf wanted to take control but that would be a mistake on my part. He was far from being patient and the girl in front of me needed a whol
Chapter 147 Kaia's POV The door opened and Dylan entered with a familiar face standing beside him…Nora! I haven't seen her as much since I ran away and was brought back. She had her head facing the ground and Dylan…well, he looked like him, just a little tense. “You know her?" Dylan asked, not masking his shock. I nodded, “she works in the kitchen." I replied. “What did you do to her? She looks like she wants to disappear." Kieran snorted as he sat upright, his arms around me loosening. “You found something?” He asked, clearly not interested in small talk. Dylan nodded and stepped forward, stretching a phone to Kieran. "She was talking to her mom about Luna Kaia, and there are pictures of her on the phone.” He said. “I think it might be connected to the attack." He added, his voice low as he spoke and he looked away from her. My eyes widened, my jaw dropped as I looked at the girland I found it hard to believe, considering how many times she defended me in the presence
Chapter 146Dylan's POV No matter how many times I repeated it to myself that I was acting under a spell, it didn't help the guilt I felt, especially when I saw the bruises on Alpha Kieran's body. No doubt he didn't fight back which made everything worse. “You're here again." Allie said, “you're stealing my thinking spot and I don't think I like it." She added, coming to sit beside me on the bench. The pavilion was her favorite spot and because it was mostly secluded, it became mine too. “Thinking spot, huh? What else do you have to think about? You're the happiest I've seen you." Her smile widened, “I am happy…but it doesn't mean I can't come here to think." She said. “A lot of things have happened the past few days and even weeks, I just want things to go back to how they used to be." I nodded, understanding what she was talking about. Her mom was currently sitting in the dungeon and she didn't want to hear anything about her. “I thought things were going well
Chapter 145 Kieran's POV I turned back to Gerald, now, even more determined as I couldn't wait to find out what Kaia wanted to tell me. “I'm listening." I said, referring to the question I asked him. “All I know is that the Alpha of their Pack knew something he shouldn't and in order to silence him, rogues were sent to their Pack, catching them unaware." He said, “but I had nothing to do with it." He insisted. “By their Alpha, you mean Alpha Marcus?" Caleb asked. My brows furrowed, everyone knew he was the Alpha and there was no need dwelling on that. But Gerald shook his head, “Alpha Marcus is the twin brother of the real Alpha." He said, “Alpha Matthew is the elder twin which makes him the rightful heir to the throne." I messaged my temple gently, if this was true, we were years away from finding Kaia's biological parents. I wanted to ask how he knew all of this, something even my Dad as an Alpha didn't know…or probably because I didn't ask. Caleb had suddenly g
Chapter 144 Kieran's POV Apart from the things we found after rummaging through the house we found out belonged to Gerald and his mate after they were banished from the Pack, we haven't found anything new. And the location of Gerald's mate and the son, whose name was Felix was yet to be determined, but we now have names we were working on, instead of just wild guesses. It was confirmed that this Felix guy was born earlier than I was, which would suggest that the reason he was dead set on attacking the Pack was because he thinks that for whatever reason, he was supposed to be the Alpha of the Pack. “I mean, out of all the things I knew was wrong with your mom, cheating on your dad is next level.” King said. "You do know they're your parents too, right?” "Nah, I'll pass. But I'm glad he did the right thing.” My Dad’s rejection came as a surprise to me, it was the last thing I expected him to do. And no doubt, the rejection was weighing on both of them, but my
Chapter 143 Kaia's POV After everyone left to carry out the task that had been assigned to them, only Katherine and I were left in the office, sitting opposite each and the both of us didn't try to start up any conversation, which for a moment was good because the only thing I could think about was Kieran bringing back the person behind this spell and also hoping that Dylan was okay. “Why didn't we think of Nessa?" Lylah asked me, and my eyes widened. “Fuck!" I cursed, “What if that's the reason she's been staying away because she's planning this?" I replied, asking a question of my own. I stood up, with a sense of urgency, causing Katherine to look up at me. “What's wrong? Is everything okay with Dylan?" She asked. The worry in her voice made me forget for a brief moment why I stood up. Of course she was worried about her son. She knew that no matter what she said, Dylan still would've offered to be the bait. “He's fine." I told her. It hasn't been long s
Chapter 142 Alpha Tyler’s POV I can't believe Clarissa would do something like this, a huge part of me was already trying to deny the possibility of her having a child before our first son. There was no way that could've happened without my knowledge considering we found each other really early but the resemblance between the boy and Kieran was uncanny. Even after the evidence, I managed to convince myself that something else was at play but the past few weeks, her sudden disappearance left me questioning if I was protecting myself and pretending not to see what was happening. But spells? She has gone too far this time. Even a blind person could see how much both Kieran and Kaia cared for each other. Her position was never a problem…neither was it for me, as long as she made Kieran happy, I was fine. If Clarissa had been an ordinary wolf, I still would've taken her as my Luna without a second thought. But for some reason, it didn't sit well with Clarissa and she was my
