Kayden’s pov

I was still trying to steady my breathing, the crisp night air making me shiver. My hands were still balled into fists, and my arm still stung from that guy’s knife. I should have gone home. But I just needed… I didn’t know what I needed. Some air maybe? Everything happened too quickly in there.

Then I heard footsteps by my right, slow and rhythmic along with the chilled breeze. I turned to see who it was as I saw it was the dude from training earlier who’d taken me down was now at my side.

He smirked seeing my expression which frankly, I wasn’t surprised by. “You really made a disaster of things in there, didn’t you?” He asked with his cool even tone.

I raised an eyebrow at him. “What’s that supposed to mean?”

“The place is practically in ruins. Bodies everywhere.” He tilted his head back towards the bar I’d just come from. “Not bad for a prince.”

I stopped moving and looked at him. “You were in there?”

He shrugged, not breaking his stride. “I was.”

    Mira’s pov“I can’t say anything to reassure you of my love. It’s not going to work,” he said. “This is… the end. For both of us. For real this time.”I waited there for a while as I got up to leave before the door opened and the tailor came in.“Alright, let’s get you two set up.”“I’ll do mine at another time,” I said with a frown as I headed out of the room.I needed some time alone as I did whenever I was not happy.Why did everything have to be a disaster? Ignoring my feelings for the rest of that day and avoiding Kayden, I had a blank day doing random things.Even when I was happy for my mother and I knew she needed to be happy, I still felt empty at the thought of never having the happy ending I deserved.For the days that showed up leading to the wedding, I moved like a zombie. I tried my best to act normal and smile when called upon, but it wasn’t as easy as I had imagined it to be.On the day before the wedding, I walked through the halls while brushing my fingers at the cu

    Kayden’s pov“Kayden,” I said shaking his hand as he nodded.“You’ve got a firm grip there,” he chuckled nervously. “No wonder your pack members keep on praising your strength. Your guards especially.”I nodded and tried to walk around him as he spread his arm to halt me.“You’re free today, yeah?” He asked as I held my breath and tried to not say anything that would piss me off.“I’m kind of busy.”“I know but… we can hang out. I just want to get to know the guy who would soon be the stepbrother to my best friend.”I nodded. “Fine, what do you want to know?”“Just wanted to know if you were free.”“Now I’m not thanks to you.”My words were abrupt and a bit rude but he needed to know that as he looked away from me to see the oncoming maids.“You don’t have to be rude. How about we hang out together?”I shrugged. It didn’t look like I would hate him so I agreed.We went to a balcony to look out amongst the crowds before us. That was when I saw her.Mira stood among the maids, talking a

    Alpha Remy’s povI thought of all he had said and sighed. He was right. “Alpha. Whatever decision you want to take, we will support you. But as your elder, we are here to lead you to the right path.”I looked back at the two other elders whose eyes moved like snakes.I didn’t trust them. But they had the right to speak their mind. After all, they had the good intentions to help the pack.“I’ll think about it,” I said as I walked past him and got out of the throne room.I walked for a while before bumping into Kayden who had his shirt off with sweat glistening his body.I looked behind him to see the maids and some women ogling him like he was a piece of chocolate.“You know you should cover up,” I said as he shrugged.“It doesn’t matter dad. I’m kind of working.”I nodded. “Is something bothering you?” He asked. He must have noticed my sad face. “We can talk about it if you want.”I needed the thoughts of someone else. Maybe he would work.“Come with me,” I said sharply as I led hi

    Mira’s povHe grunted over the phone but finally accepted as I cut the call and smiled at a fuming Zane.“See? That wasn’t so hard.”Zane wasn’t happy about that but she decided to play along with me.A maid came to tell me to help them carry something as we were short staffed and we went to help.For the next hour and a half, we were doing chores before Cameron joined us.“Hey, guys,” he said as he saw us lifting a tent to fix it. “What are you guys doing?”“Helping. You should be doing the same,” I grunted as I successfully lifted it to its position before standing back to make sure it was okay.He looked at Zane and they both looked away.“Okay; one of these days, you both will tell me what the matter is between you two. Until then, just help me fix things around.”Kayden showed up and looked at me. “Can we talk?”I looked at my friends before nodding and following Kayden away from the crowd.He led me to his room as he sat down and leaned forward. “How are you?”“I’m doing okay.

    Mira’s pov“Because,” she said while going to stand at the window. “I don’t know. I just… connect with him. You know. How it was with you and… what’s his name? Lucas?”I scoffed. “Oh this is definitely not like me and him. We were way off and you know it. Besides, you were the one forcing the elder on me. This time it’s you who has to make the choice. Do you stay with him or let him be and find another person to be with.”“But my mate is dead,” she said with tears in her eyes. “Your father is dead Mira. I can’t find anyone like him.”“It doesn’t mean you need to settle for alpha remy. Trust me, it won’t end well.”She sighed and nodded. “You have no idea what it feels like being on that seat and being alone. No one feels what you feel. No one understands your pain. No one sees you as anything more than the title. Alpha this, alpha that. It’s all they care about. I’m either talking about the pack or how to avoid war or how to turn my daughters in royalty. But what about what I truly wa

    Mira’s povI stayed at the stairs that night, looking at the bulb that flickered in the distant. I didn’t know what to do or how to keep this feeling that was growling within me.It was too much to handle and all I could do was think of all the ways I could break in there and tell my mother that Kayden was my mate, but that would do little to help me. In fact, it would only cause more problems once they find out that I had bonded with Kayden.I sighed and got up to the sound of my mother and alpha remy really getting into their sexual moment.I took in deep breaths as I shook my head and looked at the door.“Where is Jamie?” A voice said behind me as I turned to see Kayden.“Shouldn’t you be like a thousand miles away from me?” I asked. “Our parents are back together. There is no hope for us.”He looked around as I smiled. “No need to bother. No one here knows about us. Everyone into busy trying to understand what’s going on between my mum and your dad to even look at me.”“Look, I ju
