My Alpha Chose His Sister-in-Law Over Me, Now He Begs Me to Return Chapter 9
After that day, Kieran bought a small seaside cottage next to my guesthouse and moved in.As if trying to make up for all the time I'd spent waiting for him, Kieran began learning how to wait himself.If he wanted to see me, he had to wait outside the guesthouse in advance, sometimes all night, and even then there was no guarantee he'd see me.If he wanted to walk me home after work, he had to wait outside the workshop at the time listed on my schedule.But my quitting time was usually flexible, and I'd already told Leo to ignore any questions Kieran asked."Is he your mate?"I shook my head."My ex.""I think it's time someone stepped in," Leo said. "I'll handle it.""You don't have to," I said.He took two steps, then turned back."Just to keep the peace at the workshop."I looked at him for a moment, then let him go.I never found out exactly what Leo had said to Kieran.All I knew was that, when I got home from work that day, Kieran was sitting on my doorstep."Serena, do you like

The Alpha of the Blackwood Pack sank to his knees on the stone floor of the small jewelry workshop.The impact made a dull thud.He hated being slow. He hated waiting.But now, he was finally learning what it meant to wait."I know I was wrong.""The Council took my speed," he said quietly. "It takes me ten seconds to shift now. Ten seconds, Serena. I'm only starting to understand what I asked of you, every single day."Everything that had happened came crashing over me again."If I go back with you, will that erase the ninety seconds when Wren wasn't breathing?"Kieran was silent for a moment."Serena, I didn't know back then...""You knew."I took a deep breath."In the delivery room, I called out to you through the mind-link three times. You answered, ‘Wait for me.'""But the next thing I knew, you were at Moon Stone, holding her baby and giving him his Welcome Howl.""I only..."I looked at him."You simply didn't take my pleas seriously. A few words from Valerie were all it took f

Mistral Cove was a bay with no Alpha.The tides were the only clock in Mistral Cove. Fishing boats went out and came back with the tides.No one frowned at someone for being late, because the tide never ran on anyone's schedule.I hadn't chosen this place because it was anything special.It was simply unfamiliar and remote, a place where no wolf ever glanced at a watch.When I crossed the northern border, the pain of the severed mate bond still burned deep in my wolf.Wren stirred against my chest, let out a soft whimper, and fell asleep again.After three days and nights on the road, I knocked on the door of the last guesthouse at the edge of the cove in the middle of a downpour.A young man opened the door, flecks of gold dust still clinging to his shoulders.He glanced at the pup in my arms, then at the blood on my hands."Come in," he said. "Let's get her warm first."His name was Leo Ashford, a lone wolf with no pack.He ran the guesthouse, but his real business was a small, priva

Kieran didn't know how he got back to Alpha House.By the time he came to his senses, he was standing in Serena's room.Everything looked exactly the same as before.On the coffee table sat the herbal tea Serena had brewed, now stone cold.Lavender she had picked was laid out neatly on the windowsill to dry.On the shelf in the yard, the watering can still held a little unused water.Kieran looked around frantically, trying to convince himself that everything was fine.Serena wouldn't leave.She was just throwing a tantrum. She must have paid Thea to play along.Wren had to still be here. Serena was just hiding for the time being.There was still time.He steadied his breathing and walked into the study, intending to tear up the Waiting Period Agreement.Even now, he clung to the delusion that the agreement was what had driven her away.But when he saw what lay on the desk, he froze where he stood.The Council's Receipt of Petition, stamped in red.A certified copy of the delivery reco

(Kieran's POV)Kieran arrived at the Moon Stone before moonrise.He was always punctual. He never kept anyone waiting.Tonight, the pack had gathered at Moon Stone. The elders wore gray ceremonial robes, and the low beat of drums filled the air as everyone waited for the Alpha to give Wren her long-overdue Welcome Howl.Kieran glanced down at his watch.By the time the moon rose, Serena still hadn't arrived.He frowned.She's slow again.His thumb tapped the watch face twice, a habit he had when he was impatient.He'd already sent her a message through the mind-link."Serena, the moon's up. Where are you? Don't be late. "There had been no reply.Five minutes.Ten minutes.Whispers began to ripple through the crowd."Why isn't the Luna here yet?""The Welcome Howl has to be sung at moonrise. The moon doesn't wait for anyone."Kieran had never waited for anyone.In his world, people always arrived before he could even check his watch.He reached out to her through the mind-link."Serena

Without thinking, I lunged for it.Valerie held the pendant high above her head, a mocking smile spreading across her face."Look, Kieran. Doesn't Luna keep saying she can't hold up? She moved so fast. Does that look like someone who just gave birth?""She's doing it on purpose to make you worry."A chill rose in Kieran's eyes.He reached out, caught me, and held me firmly in place."Serena, you're even more unreasonable than I thought.""Let go of me! That's my mother's!""Valerie was only looking at it. Don't make a scene."His tone was light, as if he were dismissing a piece of junk."She's been gone for three years. Keeping her things doesn't mean anything anymore."It felt as though a hole had been gouged through my chest.My mother, on her deathbed, had refused her final round of treatment.She used the money she'd saved to have a jeweler craft a solid-gold crescent moon pendant set with a moonstone."Serena, this is the last thing Mom can give you.""Gold carries the Moon's bles
