KIARA If by chance, there was something I could do to solve my mate's problem, I was willing to do it. As long as it was within my capacity."How can I set you free? Please tell me," I said to Denzel, our gazes locked. "Marry me."I blinked at him, dumbfounded.It didn't sound like a logical answer. Why would marrying him be the key to freeing him?"You're joking, right?" I asked, furrowing my brows."I'm not. Marrying me and completing our mate bond as the moon goddess' vessel will set me free," he said. I stared at him for a moment, scanning his facial features for any sign of deception. However, I found none."Are you sure about this? I mean...it can't be that easy. It sounds tricky, Denzel," I said.He dragged in a sharp breath and a frown creased my brows."Did I say something wrong?" I asked cautiously."No, you didn't. It's just... when you called my name, it startled me," he said, letting out an awkward chuckle."This isn't the first time I'm calling you by your name, i

KIARA "Why are you doing this?" My voice cracked at the end of my statement. Leaning back against the wall, I clenched my fists to hide my trembling fingers. "There was no other way to get you to listen to me. It's just us in here," Lucas turned away from me and walked towards the window."We're nothing to each other. We don't need a heartfelt conversation. Besides, I... rejected you," I croaked, blinking back the stinging tears in my eyes.Lucas took a deep breath and spun around to look at me."I didn't reject you, my bond with you is one way. But that doesn't mean it doesn't exist." He flicked a finger in my direction, his brows knitted into a frown."You're the mother of my heir, you shouldn't forget that either," he said, his gaze unwavering.Instinctively, I wrapped my hands around my stomach. I would do anything to protect my child from this heartless monster that stood in front of me."Now, don't look at me like that. I know I hurt you. But, I can't stand your hatred

KIARA "Well, you do have a point. I was dead but now, I'm alive," Melissa stated, her stare unnerving. She wasn't blinking. Whatever Melissa had become was something beyond the ordinary.What exactly happened to her?"Why aren't you trying to get revenge for me? You know who killed me, don't you? What's stopping you from stabbing him in the heart with a poisoned dagger?" Her eyes had darkened, her lips turning an unhealthy shade of blue."Melissa...calm down," I whispered, still inching towards the door. If the tension between us kept growing, she would eventually attack me. I froze when she suddenly let out a bone chilling cackle. "You're always in my way! I was going to have the king for myself! But, you showed up! You ruined everything for me! I wasn't murdered, bitch! I jumped off the roof to make you stay away from his majesty," she said, flashing an unusual pair of crooked canines. She wasn't making any sense. She was the one who had constantly hinted that Denzel was respon

KIARA Denzel stroked my cheek with the pad of his thumb when he pulled away.For the life of me, the burning desire to kiss him again refused to fade.He leaned closer to me, and planted an endearing kiss on my forehead, my heart fluttering in my chest."You are beautiful," he whispered, his gaze locked with mine."You're not so bad yourself," I said and he chuckled."Not so bad? Sunshine, you know I'm more than that," he commented. He's freaking gorgeous. Still, I wouldn't tell him that."Say it to my face, Kiara. I know that you think I'm freaking gorgeous," He said with a coy smirk on his face.Blood rushed to my cheeks as I looked away. What the hell?Did he just read my mind?"I didn't have to read your mind. It's written all over your face."My eyes widened. "Are my thoughts that obvious?" He nodded, his eyes shimmering with amusement."You don't have to return to your room. You can stay with Cassy," He suddenly said."Really? I can do that?" I asked. He shrugged, tip

DENZEL "Your majesty, he's here," Keenan announced, his head bowed. He'd just walked into my study a few seconds ago, his posture stiff.I dropped my pen on my desk and raised a brow."Who?""Kiara's father. He's threatening to cause a scene if Kiara isn't brought to him," Keenan said, his eyes darkening."Take me to him," I said, rising to my feet.We both headed out of my study, and hurried to the courtyard where Kiara's father stood with his bodyguards.His eyes were azure. Just like Kiara's. But, he had wavy black hair and a grim expression on his face.Taking my seat, I signalled the maids to serve us some wine. "You must be Kiara's father. It's a pleasure to meet you," I said and he clenched his jaw. "Where is my daughter? I want to see her," he uttered, his gaze hostile."Why don't you have a seat, your majesty?" I suggested, gesturing at the chair opposite me.The menace in his gaze did not ease up as he sized me up and sat down on the unoccupied seat."I'll cut straight to
Luna's Redeemer NINETEEN
KIARA Estella had told me that Denzel had murdered their mother. But she never told me about the pain he’d gone through during his childhood days. No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t bring myself to believe Estella’s words.Denzel wouldn’t murder his own mother. He wouldn’t do something like that. But what did Estella mean when she told me I was being deceived by her brother?Although I had so many unanswered questions, I didn’t know what to do.In reality, I dreaded knowing the truth. What if she was right?But, at the same time, what if she was wrong?“I don’t want to talk about it. I’m not ready. It brings back painful memories I would rather bury,” Denzel said to me.I could understand his hesitance. The weight of his past must be tremendous, I knew this because his eyes were filled with so much pain and grief.“It’s okay. Whenever you’re ready, I’ll listen,” I told him. He gave me a weak smile.“Thank you.”I watched him as he dried his hair with a towel. He s

KIARA I awoke with mixed feelings. I didn’t know what to make of Lucas’ frequent invasion into my dreams. But I certainly didn’t want to encounter him again. That morning, I had breakfast with my mate. Again, I consumed a lot of food. After our breakfast, Denzel dropped the bomb on me.“The mating ceremony is in two days.”I paused, scanning his face for any sign of amusement. But found none.“Are you serious?” I asked, my eyes wide. He nodded, leaning back in his seat.“You’re not ready?” He asked, arching a brow.“I know I agreed to go ahead with the mating ceremony. But...are you sure about this? Isn’t it too- “He tsked, rubbing his jaw.“Sudden?”I nodded.“Yes. That’s the word,” I said, clearing my throat.“Unless you plan to change your mind, I don’t see why you should be worried,” he shrugged.“I won’t look good in a dress. I’m starting to feel bloated too,” I told him. He stared at me for a few seconds. Then he rose to his feet. In the blink of an eye, he was standing in
Luna's Redeemer TWENTY ONE
KIARA We stared at each other for a moment, neither of us willing to make the first move. Even so, the reason I was unable to move was probably a lot different from the reason why he remained immobile. Dread had sank deep into me, and my legs just wouldn't move. Denzel had made me promise him that I would run far away if I ever encountered Adam again. But there I was, frozen to the spot, too petrified to run. Slowly, Adam rose to his feet and cracked his knuckles. He regarded me with a languid gaze, his head cocked to the side. I swallowed hard as his gaze roamed from my face to my feet, and back to my face again. The hair on the back of my neck stood stiff, sweat rolling down my spine. Taking a deep breath, Adam turned his back to me with unhurried movements. My breath hitched in my throat as I stared at the familiar sight of Denzel's well proportioned physique- a body that was now occupied by a different entity, against the will of the host. "Run. I'm going to count until ten
