Chapter 112 Ryder’s POV I was anxious…scared even. I had just one chance to make Allie change her mind about me and at the same time, I had no doubt it was going to be hard seeing how Dylan's absence hit her hard and it doesn't seem like the right time bringing up the conversation. But one good thing was that she was no longer avoiding anything that had to do with me. That alone, gave me hope. “I'm not going to mess up this opportunity." I thought, heading back to my place. I needed to take a shower after being on patrol duty the entire night. I'd probably catch an hour of sleep or two…if not I wouldn't hear the end of it from Luna Kaia. I ended up sleeping for more than three hours before going back to the Pack house to discuss the way forward about Nessa and the person she was working for. I'm still in awe at how she managed to trick all of us with her innocent look for this long. “You know," I heard Kaia’s familiar voice say, snapping me to the present. "if I
Chapter 113 Ryder’s POV It's been a few days after my conversation with Allie and it felt like she was avoiding me. She wouldn't look at me for more than what was necessary. It was as if we took several steps backward after the conversation we had and I kept wondering if it was something I said. But Kaia thinks otherwise. I had run to her to confirm if I had said something wrong…after she laughed her heart content, she assured me that she needed time to process things and being around me wasn't the best way to go about it. With the Alphas’ meeting being about two days away and Kieran didn't have any issues about me going in Caleb's place but if Allie couldn't bear to stay in the same room as me, I might as well stay back. “What are you thinking so hard about?" Caleb asked. We were sitting in Kieran's office, waiting for him to finish from the meeting he was in so we could conclude on everything that concerned the upcoming Alphas' meeting. "Nothing…just stuff." He rai
Chapter 114Kieran's POV So, ever since we found out about Nessa and the fact that she was most likely working with the shooters, we haven't had any attacks. While that was good news, it felt like something else was going on. Nessa hasn't done anything out of the ordinary…it was either she was that good at faking it or she knew that she had been discovered. “But why wasn't she doing anything?" The meeting was the next day, so her case could wait until that was done. "Alpha,” Caleb called and my head snapped to him. "From the record and everything, there's nothing that says Nessa's adoptive parents are witches, my best guess is that they found out after they took her in and decided to keep it a secret.” I nodded, that was almost as bad as them committing the crime themselves. “Let them be for now, but have Ryder keep a close watch on them." “Yes Alpha." I engrossed myself in the paperwork Caleb brought along when he was coming. They needed urgent attention
Chapter 115Kaia's POV The meeting with the Alphas was here, and Allie and I were getting ready with the aid of Dani who was having so much fun playing dress up instead of being the one getting ready. Allie was excited to go and according to her, she was happy because she gets to show off her perfect self in a room full of poorly dressed women. “Oh my gosh!” Allie squealed, “Kieran won't be able to take his eyes off you.” She said, once Dani was done applying my makeup. “I don't think that even I, can take my eyes off her." Dani agreed. I smiled widely and looked into the mirror and this time, I had to agree that she did an amazing job. The makeup was flawless, and I could feel my confidence go through the roof. Since I was going with a red dress, she did a sophisticated, elegant look with neutral eyes but my lip was a bold red color. She put my hair down after curling them. The dress was a stunning, floor-length red dress that hugged my body tightly in all the rig
Chapter 116Kaia's POV “No. Fucking. way!” I thought, my eyes squinting as I looked at the man in front of me. His eyes were like staring at Kieran. He wasn't as tall, but he was well built. A scar ran on the side of his face…other than that, the resemblance between them was uncanny. “What the hell is going on here?" Lylah asked, but heck if I knew as well. The man smiled…more like smirked at me, “Luna Kaia!" He called and I frowned. I mean, I was still trying to make sense of the resemblance between him and Kieran and now he knows me by my name. “It's a pleasure to finally meet you, I've heard a lot about you.” He said, smiling but I didn't feel the same way as I looked at him suspiciously. Apart from his weird smile, there was something off about him that didn't sit well with me. So I offered him a forced smile and made an attempt to move but he blocked my way. I felt my heart racing as I tried mind-linking Kieran but I felt a wall rising. “Now, that's just rud
Chapter 117 Kieran's POV By the time I was done giving the opening speech, Kaia was no longer sitting where I left her and I immediately panicked but she assured me she was okay and was only fixing her makeup. A small smile appeared on my face when I remembered the look she had when I told her her lipstick was smudged. It wasn't bad…”couldn't kiss a girl when she's wearing lipstick, my foot.” Just when I thought she couldn't be any more perfect, she surprises me, proving me wrong every single time. She heard heads turning to look at her and it wasn't because she was my mate but how stunning she looked even without doing anything. There was not a single ounce of jealousy except a proud look that she was mine. “Alpha Kieran," I heard someone call, bowing his head to greet me, snapping my thoughts away from Kaia. “We're so lucky you decided to join us today. It's an honor." He said. “I wish I could say the same, but there was a lot of things I'd rather be doing." I thoug
Chapter 118 Aiden's POV The moment I got to the Alphas' meeting, I left Dylan alone and went in search of Kaia but she was nowhere to be found. It was as though Melissa had lied about her being mated to an Alpha. I had no interest in socializing with the people coming to meet me. “Are you looking for someone?" Dylan asked, coming up behind me. I just glared at him and continued looking around. I was still mad at him for disappearing without a word. He was with me because as much as he was annoying, he was better than Derek, my Gamma. “I-I’ll just look around." He announced like it was any of my business. My eyes roamed around the room and when I didn't find her, my disappointment level multiplied. “The Lycan King is here!" Someone announced, his voice loud and the excitement in his voice was obvious. Everyone moved towards the entrance to welcome him. Rumours had it that he'd found his mate but he didn't confirm or deny it. I didn't care about his mate, but he would be a
Chapter 119Allie's POV “Laura?" “Laura! Of all people, the moon goddess chose her to be his mate!" I thought. “She was one lucky girl but thank fuck she was dumb as well." I wasn't sure how I felt about her being his mate and that they had something together but I had a situation with Dylan also which he knew about. Laura was just a different person, with everything she did to pull Kieran and Kaia apart. But apart from that, Rhea was convinced we should totally give him a second chance…and even though I agreed with her after she gave me several reasons why it was a good idea and I also wanted to but I didn't want it to be because Dylan was no longer here and I needed someone to fill the space he left. Holding out was difficult, especially when he was doing everything for me and looking like a snack while doing it. Even as we walked into the Alphas’ meeting, my arm in his, I couldn't help but steal glances at him. He was holding me like a sort of prized possession eve
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 m
Chapter 141Caleb's POV There was no doubt that this wasn't going to be an easy mission. Luna Clarissa wouldn't willingly come with us for whatever reason and a huge part of me wanted to use part of the potions that could subdue a Lycan but the possibility of her dying from it was high. I wouldn't blame Luna Kaia, if she refuses to heal her. “What do you mean?" Dani asked, her eyes widening. “Is Allie okay?" I nodded. "She's fine. Ryder is taking care of her and Elizabeth already assured us that she just needs to wake up now.” I told her. "Oh my gosh! I have to go see her.” Her voice came out low, the worry in them could be felt from miles away. That was the same reaction we had but thank goddess she had the help she needed. “Ryder is with her, but Luna Kaia is alone with Katherine. Go to her instead." She nodded and wrapped her hand around me. I could feel her fear and worry through our bond and they were justified. It was like we couldn't catch a break, and goin
Chapter 140 Kieran's POV I was angry…no, mad. My eyes darkened and I could feel the veins on my neck popping out. King was struggling to take over and rip my mom to pieces. I couldn't believe she would go to that extent to make sure Kaia was out of the picture. Kaia's grip on my arm was the only reason I was still in the office and not on my way to their house. “Bella–” My voice came out strained. Watching my sister in that condition and the fact that it was supposed to be for made my blood boil. “Listen to me," Kaia said, her voice equally angry which threw me off balance for a few seconds. “I know you want to deal with your mom in the worst way possible and I'm on the same page with you.” She continued. Caleb, who was standing a few feets away from me nodded at what Kaia said and so did Dylan. "But we have to come up with a plan…I doubt your mom knows anything about spells and going after her without a clear plan would ruin our chance of getting the main people behi
Chapter 139Allie's POV The last few weeks have been the best weeks of my life and it wasn't an exaggeration. Every moment with Ryder was pure bliss, it felt like we were in the honeymoon stage of our relationship…we kinda were. Even my Lycan was over the moon, her excitement could be felt from miles away. At this point, I didn't care what my brother was going to say when he found out. Ryder wanted to tell him the same day we got back together but I didn't want to rush it and just enjoy our peaceful moments. Besides, I had no doubt that Kieran was going to support me as long as I was happy. “How long are you going to keep staring at me?" I asked Ryder. We were in his house which was outside the Pack house, just lying around. He had been on patrol all through the night, so this was us making up for the lost time. I wasn't even sure I slept well with him not being by my side. “For as long as I want to, Princess. Because I can, and because you're mine." He said, and I
