This is a short one, but things are about to get serious. So sit back and enjoy the ride. Thanks for sticking this far.
Chapter 124Kaia's POV “I won't be gone for long, I promise." Kieran said, as he hugged me tightly. His head resting in the nook of my neck. “Can't you just command her to come here…to the borders?” I asked, I'm not sure I wanted to see her again anytime soon. Kieran was going to my Pack, a place that was filled with painful memories I'd rather not live again. And imagine my shock when he told me my stepmom was a healer too. The moon goddess was out there sprinkling a dust of confusion on the world. She wasn't a white wolf but she had the powers of one and as much as I was curious, I'd wait until Kieran returns. “For that to happen, I'd have to see her." He reminded me. “I'm going to miss you, come back soon.” I told him, tightening my arms around him. "I love you, baby.” He pulled back, lifting my chin to look at him before his lips came on mine. I fought back a moan as I kissed him back like my life depended on it. We finally joined the guys, who were waiting
Chapter 125 (There is a change of POV in this chapter) Nessa's POV A loud scream escaped my lips as my hand tugged at my hair. “Why the fuck did it not work?” I thought, “It was supposed to.” Getting her out of the way was supposed to be easier now that Alpha Kieran wasn't here. “What’s wrong, Zara?” My adoptive mom asked, running into my room. My eyes darkened, "don't fucking call me that and get out!” I growled. She froze, but she knew better than to argue with me when I was angry. The first step was done, Felix showing himself in front of her, to throw them off balance which he did and I wished I saw the look on their faces when they saw him. Getting her out of the picture was supposed to be next, but with that Beta always beside her, it was harder than I planned for. “Young lady," my adoptive Dad started, coming into the room, a stern look on his face. He was a clown if he thought that was going to work. “You will not talk to your mom that way." I stood up,
Chapter 126Ryder's POV I was mad at myself, Kaid was mad at me and it was understandable. The way I handled the situation was poor but I didn't expect it that particular moment when she just rejected her mate, so it was safe to say that it kinda caught me by surprise. Kaid rolled his eyes, “That's the worst excuse you have come up with so far." He said. “Let me know when you come up with more." Sarcasm rolling off each of his words. Ignoring him, I pulled a jacket from my closet, ready to be on the move again. Tailing Luna Clarissa wasn't so hard, she hasn't left the house in hours and neither has Alpha Tyler. So Caleb offered to watch them both and let me know when she was on the move…which he did five minutes ago. “Why the fuck are you not here yet?" His angry voice came again. “I'm almost there, calm the fuck down." I fired back. Tailing someone has to be the least interesting part of the job after paper– “Allie…” I called, my face scrunching up in surprise…mor
Chapter 127 Kaia's POV I was still not over the fact that my picture was taken without my knowledge and somehow, it was sitting on my bed. The girls were trying their best to comfort me, assuring me that nothing was going to happen. Dylan moved closer to where we were sitting, his hands in his pocket, his eyes blank. “Caleb is getting the warriors ready." He announced and I frowned. “Warriors? Why?" “It's just to be careful." He explained. “We don't want to be caught by surprise. Not that we think they're going to come or anything.” He added. I know he was trying to make me feel better but it wasn't working. My hand wrapped itself around my stomach, fear setting in. Several thoughts running through my head. "What if they actually come? What would happen to my pup?” "Let's just call Kieran, you'll feel better if he's here.” Allie suggested. And as if he could hear our conversation, the phone rang and his name was displayed boldly on the screen…he was the only one I call.
Chapter 128 Kieran's POV We arrived at the Pack a few hours later…about five or six hours. The warriors on patrol didn't hesitate to let us in once they saw who it was and we went straight to Dylan's house, with the aid of one of the warriors since we had no idea where he lived. Pack members quickly surrounded us the moment the car stopped and it took all the self control I had and repeated reminders about why we were here from King for me to not turn back and teach them one or two lessons for the hell they put Kaia through. “Alpha." The woman, who I guessed was Dylan's mom, greeted, bowing her head. I could see the slight resemblance between herself and Dylan…their eyes. If she was surprised by my presence, she was doing a great job hiding it as she opened the door widely to let me in. “Can I get you something to drink, Alpha?” "Let's cut out the drama, shall we?” I started, not in the mood for any pleasantries. "You know why I'm here, so let's get to it." Bei
Chapter 129 Kaia's POV I woke up with a start, causing my head to start aching me with how fast I stood up. But Kieran was by my side in an instant, holding me up and helping me sit properly. The first thing that came to mind was the fact that I was in a different room and it looked familiar…Allie's room. The incident that led to me fainting came rushing back and fear gripped me, hoping it was some sort of nightmare and that it didn't really happen. “Dylan…where's Dylan?” I asked, moving to stand up from the bed, ignoring the pain that shot through me. "He cannot die…he was trying to save me." I cried. “Bella," Kieran called, trying to hold me in place but I pushed his hand away and hurt flashed through his eyes, “Take me to Dylan, I can heal him." I sobbed. I could feel Lylah's presence, although she wasn't saying anything. “Why were both of them not answering me? Did he really die?” My entire body felt weak I wasn't sure if the moon goddess was to blame in this
Chapter 130 Kaia's POV “Let me get this straight," I began, my eyes darting to Dylan on the bed and back to the siblings, who just told me what has to be the most insane tale I've heard in all of my existence and as weird as it sounded, the proof was right in front of me. “I have the ability to form a shield if I'm in danger?" I asked, and the siblings nodded. “It was so cool…shocking and confusing at first, but you kinda get used to it.” Allie said, smiling widely. I turned to Kieran because for someone who was thrown against the wall just the previous day, she was sounding way too cheerful for my confused self, who was trying to make sense of everything they told me. Apparently, seeing Dylan get hurt somehow triggered my protective side which caused me to release the shield. And it wasn't just any shield, as the moment it came upon them, it began to heal them as well, which was one of reasons Dylan was alive. "Do you think the moon goddess is using me as an experime
Chapter 131Kaia's POV Kieran shifted uncomfortably as she came closer and with each step that she took, I tried to make myself smaller into the chair but that did nothing to ease the dread I felt just looking at the woman who singularly made my life miserable. Lylah was also pacing around in my head. “Why would Kieran bring her here?" She asked me. The look on the guys face told me they knew about her being here. I felt Kieran reach for my hand but I pulled it away, betrayed that knowing fully well what she did to me, he still let her into the Pack. “It’s not what you think, Bella.” He said through our mindlink. I snorted, standing up. “You have an explanation for why this woman is here? Beautiful!” I exclaimed and without waiting for whatever his explanation was going to be, I stormed out of the room. "Bella–" But I was already gone, storming past Katherine, Dylan's mom as I went. Kieran's footsteps were behind me. “Come on Bella, listen to me.” He called, as h
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 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
