Akira's POV

“You killed him!” Elara yells. She jerks off the bed and reaches for her phone.

“Ca-lm down Ela-ra, please, h-e h-e…” I stutter. My entire body trembles in fear as I stare at the horrific sight in front of me.

My husband's body was covered in his blood.

“I will record this and make sure it gets to the werewolf committee you bloody killer!” Elara exclaims with tears rushing down my cheeks.

I crawl away from Kaid's lifeless body. I did not kill him. It was an accident.

I try to wave off every depressing thought in my head. I need to get out of here, Elara is not bluffing. She will inform the Werewolf committee about this and I will be sent back to jail again.

No! I shake my head in disagreement. I refuse to return to that hell hole.

I rise to my feet and hold onto the wall for support.

“What are you doing? Guards!” Elara yells at the top of her voice.

I rush towards her, I pick up the bedside lamp and smash it on her head. Elara slumps to the floor and her eyes shut close.

I lean close to her to listen to her heartbeat.

I sigh in relief, she is still breathing.

I run a hand through my hair in frustration and glare at the window. I need to leave without alerting the guards.

I do not waste any more time. I jump through the window and land perfectly on the floor.

I tuck my hands into my pockets to hide my bloody hands. I slowly walk towards the front gate with a straight face.

I successfully make my way out of the pack house. I pick up my pace and start running.

I run far away from the Red Moon pack house, with no destination in mind.

With a heavy heart and a guilty mind. I flee.

Vincent's POV

I walk towards the large black gate. Numerous guards surround the entrance and it makes me wonder why.

Is Kaid really that special for a lot of guards to surround the pack house? I furrow my brows in confusion as I freeze right in front of the guards.

“Who are you?” One of them speaks up in a stern tone.

I raise my hand at him in mock surrender and mutter in a dry tone. “My name is Vincent and I am the brother to Kaid, the Alpha of the Red Moon pack,” I state.

The moment I mention Kaid's name, the guards cast a suspicious glance at each other. Something weird is going on.

They gather together and whisper something to each other before giving me a response. “Alpha Kaid is not home at the moment. He travelled with his wife for a vacation.”

I hold back the urge to burst into laughter. Kaid and vacations do not relate at all. Kaid is a busy Alpha, he has no time for a dumb vacation with his wife. I know they are lying to me.

Why are they lying though? Did Kaid ask them to lie?

“I am not stupid. Leave the way before I forcefully make you leave.” I sneer with a cold stare.

They do not look afraid of my threat. One of the guards walks closer to me and says through gritted teeth. “Leave now.”

I scoff. I clench my fist tight and swing it on his face. The guard staggers backwards in shock and groans in agony.

The other guards take their stance, ready to fight me. This is not going to be easy but I must see Kaid by all means.

Suddenly, the entrance gate creeps open wide and a familiar face steps out of the pack house and yells “Enough!”

The guards bow their heads at Roman's commanding presence. He is Kaid's right-hand man. I understand why he is treated with so much respect.

“Long time no see Vincent. What are you doing here?” He asks.

I roll my eyes at him and sigh heavily. “Are you going to keep me outside too? I just want to see my brother. How hard is that?” I groan in frustration.

“Wrong timing Vincent,” Roman mutters. He ushers me inside the pack house. I pause to shoot dagger glares at the guards before stepping inside.

The Red Moon pack house has not changed at all. It still looks exactly how it was ten years ago.

“What do you mean by wrong timing? Has Kaid travelled out of town for a vacation with his wife? I thought his wife was in prison.” I say with a small frown on my face.

“Is that what the guards told you?” Roman asks.

I nod my head in agreement. Roman turns to glare at me, he pauses to release a heavy sigh and place his hand on my shoulder.

“You are not going to like the news I am about to drop.” He mumbles.

“I can handle it,” I reply in a bored tone.

“Kaid, your brother is dead.” He blurts out.

My jaw drops and I stagger backwards in shock. Did he just say Kaid is dead? My brother? Dead? How? Why?

I gulp a lump down my throat and release a nervous chuckle. “Nice joke Roman. Where is Kaid?”

“I am serious Vincent. He is dead. Kaid died two days ago.” Roman repeats.

I mutter a cuss under my breath and pray to wake up from this horrible nightmare. I run a hand through my hair.

“How did this happen Roman?” I manage to say, my voice comes out as a mere whisper.

“Two days ago. His wife just got out of prison. She visited the pack house and murdered him.”

What? Kaid's wife murdered him?

Why does Kaid have horrible luck when it comes to meeting people? How could his wife stab him in the back by killing him?

“What did she want? What was her motive? Has she been caught?” I throw questions at Roman. He looks overwhelmed by all of this too.

“We are still in search for her.” Roman states.

I will find her. I will find Kaid's wife and make her pay for killing my brother.

    Vincent's POVI would have really loved to hear from Maria's husband's side instead, earlier back there, it seemed like he knew a lot about Elara, way more than even Maria knew. I wanted to push further but I noticed how Akira was getting really uncomfortable there. I could sense her fear back in there, she was so anxious and it made me feel the more need and drive to protect her from anyone and everyone.I sigh as Maria leads us to an empty space at the back of the bar. I carefully rest my back on the wall and gesture her to start talking. "Say every damn thing you know, do not miss out on anyone details or I will make sure to paint you and your husband the bad guys in front of Elara, I am sure you know how that will end." I say in a cold tone, just to scare her and it actually works. I would never do that though, that is just heartless."You people need to promise me that you will never return here and also that Elara will never find out about our meeting." Maria says with pleading

  • Moonlight Deception: A Tale Of Ties.    Chapter Thirty Nine - No freedom

    Akira's POVI and Vincent stare at each other and I immediately believe that we are thinking the same thing. Maria is the head maid at the Red Moon pack house, I am sure that she is the one that moved all of Kaid's stuffs, courtesy to either Elara or Roman's instructions. Hopefully, Maria is willing to talk.Without wasting anymore time, Vincent casts one last glance at me before rushing towards the door to pull it open wide, revealing the old man, Maria's husband. "Where is Maria? Is she still here? Where is she? Talk to me now." Vincent hurriedly throws questions at the man who just stares at Vincent in confusion, I mean it is totally understandable, now Vincent just looks really desperate.The old man takes a while to respond in reluctance. "Is this still about the apology she owes you people or is there more to it?" He raises a brow at Vincent before turning to gaze at me. "I would like to talk her to instead, she looks more sane." He says shoving Vincent out of the way and pointi

  • Moonlight Deception: A Tale Of Ties.    Chapter Thirty Eight - Maria Is The Key

    Akira's POV Vincent goes silent and it makes me ponder on everything he has done for me in the past. Honestly, without Vincent, I do not think I would be able to do anything. I might have just surrended and lost all hope but thanks to Vincent, I have been able to act strong, although it does get a little tough sometimes, but it is better than having no one by your side.I clear my throat and wipe the drop of tear that falls from my eyes."Are you still there?" I yell at him. I do not get a response, that makes me furrow my brows in confusion and my heart begins to race extremely fast in anxiety. I want to barge in but I know how disrespectful that is so instead I yell his name even louder. "Vincent!" I pause to sigh in frustration. "Do not play jokes on me, are you in there?" Still utter silence. I run a hand through my hair in frustration and yell at him. "I will barge in there if you do not give me a response at the count of three." "ONE!" "TWO!!""TH-----" right before I can cal

    Vincent's POV "Do you think it is a good idea to see her husband instead? I mean it feels kind of disrespectful in a way that we are reporting her to her husband. Do you not think so?" Akira mutters from behind. I scoff and shoot dagger glares at Akira, that is enough to silence her."Easy for you to say. She should have thought about it before throwing trash all over me. I mean look at the way everyone keeps glaring at me as if I have shit on my face!" I yell angrily. Akira raises her hand in mock surrender and takes a few steps backward. She has a disgusted look on her face just like how everyone else gaze at me, with irritation and disgust."Excuse me Sir." I hear someone yell from behind. I turn around to gaze at an old fragile man clutching a walking stick tight. Who is he? I raise a brow at him and gesture him to start speaking before i lose my patience, Akira on the other hand just bows her head at him respectfully."The customers here are not pleased by the stench. Perhaps yo

  • Moonlight Deception: A Tale Of Ties.    Chapter 36 - Bigger Problems

    Vincent's POV I continue to rant but I notice that Akira's attention is no longer on me but on a certain woman serving drinks in the bar. I clear my throat and that is enough to startle Akira and jolt her back to reality. She stares at me and mumbles. "Look at that lady Vincent." She gulps a lump down her throat and points at the woman."What about her?" I ask with a raised brow. I am slightly irritated at Akira's pathetic attempt to change the topic. I know she does not want to talk about our feelings but why is she trying to cause a diversion by pointing at some random woman? Does she think I am that stupid to fall fir her dumb tricks?"Do you recognize her?" Akira whispers softly while staring at the woman. I scoff and throw my hands in the hair. "This is so unbelievable." I snap at her. Surprisingly Akira nods her head in agreement and flashes me a mischievous smirk. "I know right. Who would have thought that I would meet her here?" She chokes out a small laughter.I can not help

  • Moonlight Deception: A Tale Of Ties.    Chapter 35 - Feelings

    Akira's POV I suddenly feel tears roll down my cheeks. I bite my lower lip to stop myself from breaking down into sobs. Some people passing by gaze at Vincent and I while making whispering noises while others probably recognize me as the woman who killed her husband. I can feel eyes boring into my soul and it makes me feel a sense of emptiness. I thought Vincent had my back but knowing that I am just some sort of investment to him makes my heart break, I am nothing to him and that means I am alone. I always have and i always will be.I choke out a small cry at the reality of my miserable life. How come I never noticed? "Oh my goodness. Now, you are crying." Vincent mutters. He runs a hand through his hair and takes a few steps towards me. I catch him gaze at me with a look of concern. Or maybe those are just my imaginations? Vincent does not care about me. If he did then he would not have called me an investment."Why are you being so emotional today, Akira?" He asks, his voice is s
