Chapter 2 : The Birth of My Revenge

Kiera’s pov 

My hands gripped the steering wheel so tightly my knuckles turned white. I didn’t even remember leaving the pack office. One second I had been standing outside that door, , and the next—I was here.

Driving, running and escaping from the horror that was my life.

My vision blurred again, but this time it wasn’t from speed. It was from the tears that refused to stop pouring ever since I caught the only man I had ever loved having sex with my younger sister.

She was my half sister, yes but I had always treated her like my own flesh and blood ever since my father brought her home.

So how could she do this to me?!

Alice…  My little sister. She was the same little girl I had protected and loved ever since her mother abandoned her and ran away with another man!

My father was going to send her away but I begged him not to, because I didn’t want her to suffer in the hands of some stranger so I pleaded with him to let her stay with me.

“…And after everything Alice?” I cried and a broken laugh escaped me. “And Rafael…”

My husband.  The man who had looked into my eyes and told me I was his forever. The man who had made me believe I was enough for him.

The man who had been lying to me the entire time. A tear slipped down my cheek, then another, until I could barely see the road ahead.

I blinked hard, trying to steady myself, but it was useless. My thoughts were spiraling, crashing into each other, dragging me deeper and deeper into something dark and suffocating.

My father’s voice suddenly echoed faintly in my mind.

“You’re moving too fast with the wedding, Kiera. You don’t know Rafael well enough.”

I tightened my grip on the wheel, my jaw clenching.

“I thought I did,” I whispered, my voice cracking. “I thought I knew him…”

But I hadn’t. I had been blind and desperate, because before Rafael… no one had ever looked at me like that.

No one had ever chosen me.

Alice had always been the beautiful one. The one people noticed everywhere. The one who got compliments, attention and admiration.

But me?

I had just been… the other sister. The Alpha’s useless, wolfless daughter… yes. That was all anyone ever saw. That was all I would ever be.

The weight of it crushed me all over again until it was suffocating and unbearable.

Before I realized what I was doing, my hand slammed against the steering wheel and a loud honk split the air.

“Damn it!” I cried out, my voice breaking as I hit it again. “Damn it! Damn it!”

The car swerved slightly, but I quickly corrected it.

“I hate you…” I choked out, tears streaming down my face. “I hate you both…”

But even as I said it, the pain didn’t lessen. If anything, it got worse.

Because hate couldn’t erase what they had done and it definitely couldn’t save me now.

“I want to destroy you…” I whispered through the tears. “I want to fucking ruin you… both of you…”

But how?

The question hit me like a wall.

How would I do that? Rafael had already won.

He had planned everything carefully and stupid me had walked right into it.

I had rushed my father to sign the papers and I pushed the council to approve them.

Everything was already in motion and I had no idea how to stop it.

My chest tightened painfully again, my grip on the wheel loosening slightly as exhaustion began to creep on me.

But suddenly— My phone rang and the sound startled me in the quiet car.

I flinched before my eyes flicked toward the screen and I saw that it was Susan.

My best friend.

For a second, I just stared at her name flashing across the screen.

I didn’t reach for it at first, because if I answered… and If I opened my mouth… all the ways I had just fucked up would spill out.

And I wasn’t ready to say it out loud and make it real so the phone kept ringing.

It rang Once, twice, Three times, then I let out a shaky breath before finally reaching for it.

 “Hey…” I said quickly, forcing my voice to sound normal. “What’s up?”

There was a pause.

Then “Kiera?” Susan’s voice came through. “Is something wrong? You sound off.”

My throat tightened instantly.

“Nothing,” I said, too fast. “Why would anything be wrong?”

“Don’t do that,” she replied immediately. “I know you. Something’s off. Where are you?”

I swallowed hard. “I’m just… driving,” I said, trying to sound casual. “Clearing my head.”

“Kiera,” she said more firmly. “Talk to me. Did something happen?”

My lips parted. The words sat there, right at the edge, threatening to spill out.

He’s cheating on me…With my sister. And they are about to take everything I own and love.

But I couldn’t say it. I just couldn’t.

“I’m fine,” I insisted. “Really.”

“Liar,” Susan said bluntly.

A shaky breath left me.

“I’m serious,” I tried again, but it came out unconvincing even to my own ears.

“Come over,” she said immediately. “Right now.”

“I—” I hesitated.

“Kiera,” she cut in. “Please. You don’t sound okay.”

My grip on the wheel tightened again as I considered my options.

I couldn’t go home, because If I saw Rafael— If I even looked at him— I would break. And if I broke and said something I shouldn’t…then He might find out about the signed papers.

And then it would truly be over for me.

I exhaled slowly.

“…Okay,” I said quietly.

“Good,” Susan replied with relief in her voice. “I’m home. Just come straight here, alright?”

“Alright.”

“Drive safe.”

“I will.”

I hung up, staring at the road ahead for a second before slowly turning the wheel.

The car shifted direction, away from home and toward Susan and I drove in silence for a while, But then my phone buzzed again.

I glanced at the screen and my heart instantly dropped.

It was Rafael.

For a moment, I considered ignoring it, but something made me pick it up and my fingers trembled slightly as I opened the message.

“Hey sweetheart, have you gotten the papers from your father yet?”

My stomach twisted then another message came in.

“I miss you so much Kiera.”

Then another.

“I love you.”

And finally—

“Come back soon.”

I stared at the screen and my mind went completely blank.

For a second, I couldn’t even process it. Then a broken laugh escaped me.

“Wow…” I whispered.

My hands tightened around the phone, so tightly it almost hurt.

“I love you?” I repeated softly.

Tears slipped down my face again, but this time… they felt different. I felt Colder and angrier.

“Fucking Liar,” I whispered.

And something shifted inside me in that moment … the pain was still there but it wasn’t the only thing anymore.

Because under it…Something darker was rising.Something colder and more vengeful.

My tears slowly stopped as I stared at his messages.

“You just want the papers…” I murmured, and my grip tightened. “You want to take everything…”

My gaze hardened as the last of my tears dried.

“Fine.”

A dangerous calm settled over me.

“You can bring your worst on, but you’re not getting anything.”

My reflection stared back at me from the screen. It was the same face, same eyes but something in them had changed.

For the first time in my life, I wasn’t just heartbroken.

I was fucking furious and I was ready.

Ready to hurt them back and very ready to completely and utterly destroy them.
