Keira POV

As Nox spoke, a calm assurance settled upon me. I couldn't shake off the feeling. His tone rang with intimacy and tenderness. Last night's incident returned to me in the midst of the turmoil as I watched him. I did not feel weird or ashamed about what we did at all.

In this moment, it felt right that he was telling me these things. It felt like he was my male, taking care of me. Of course, these thoughts and feelings may all be Aria's. But it only proved that she felt the bond. She recognized him as Mate. If only she would summon the strength to rise and call out to him.

"You won't put anything in your mouth. You don't touch anything. Until it's cleared!" He said. "Conan and one of mine are checking your room. They have a poison detector."

"Conan? My Gamma?"

"Yes," he replied gently. "He begged to help."

Not long ago, I'd considered that he might be an accomplice. But the news of him helping lift my spirit slightly.

"How did you know?" I asked him. "You got here before we

    Keira POVAt some point, after all the others had gone, Nox left to go oversee some things. I was happy to be alone in the quietness of my thoughts, but his absence brought an emptiness that made my heart ached.After washing up for the evening, I climbed the bed and sat there, thinking about my whole life until I fell asleep. My dreams were bittersweet, but I lost all memories of them the moment I opened my eyes the next day.I had freshened up and was combing my hair when a gentle knock came on the door. I stood up from the dresser as Nox's voice came through,"Keira, it's me. The doctor is here.""Come in," I replied.The door opened, and he walked in with another werewolf. A tall but lanky male around his age. He had warm brown eyes and a friendly air about him. "This is Doctor Jack Servius," Nox said. The male gave a gentle smile and came forward, holding out his right hand."Hi, Luna," he greeted. "We've actually met, but you were asleep then."I raised a brow, and Nox suppl

    Keira POV After the meal, Nox had to leave to handle pack and business matters immediately. The doctor stuck around, sharing a few jokes about his Alpha and Autumn Moon. I felt much more clear-headed and less shaken after the meal and chit chat. Then I went to look for Uncle Felix, who was also detained as he was a member of the house and one of the few who had direct access to me.Pavlov was with me all the time. As I made my way to meet my uncle, I decided that the person I really wanted to look in the eye was Liam. The one who was my husband for a whole year. I couldn't believe that he had a hand in poisoning me. But then he had the most to gain from keeping my wolf weak and in hibernation.Uncle Felix was detained in one of the cells on the second floor. Other elders were also held in some of the cells. I had no interest in talking to any of them except my blooded relative.I stopped when I reached the door of the cell. The warrior had already opened the small gate for me to g

    Nox POVTheo gave me a look that meant that he could see my anticipation and restlessness. I didn't care that it was showing. I looked around the conference room. Everyone else was focused on the projector.Then I stood up, causing the human to pause his presentation. All eyes turned to me in the conference room."Oh, carry on," I said to the guy. "Mister Crowe is right here. Oh, Miss Faust, you may see me briefly for the rest of the introductions.""Yes, sir," she replied, rising eagerly. I preferred Alpha, but for the sake of the few humans in our midst, the wolves referred to me as sir sometimes. It was hard to get used to it. Why in the hell did that good-for-nothing Liam put humans in management? I shook the thought of him off. He was irrelevant now. Keira and I had bonded. Their marriage was already void as far as I was concerned. Now, all that was left was for her wolf to show up and call me Mate.That would happen soon. Her healing had begun. It could even happen before the

    Keira POVTina Paulson was an omega and a member of the Spring Moon. She worked as a clerk here at the Pine. Her job was mostly coffee runs and other menial errands around the office. Apparently, she had been promoted to the position of Nox's own secretary. That was not the first change I noticed when I walked into the company moments ago. Everything looked different, especially the faces. Thankfully, there weren't that many humans around. I didn't want to deal with them. Tina had bowed excitedly at the sight of me. It was Pavlov who told her to announce our presence before we went inside. As she knocked and opened the door, another unexpected and highly unpleasant sight awaited me inside. Belle stood beside Nox, who was sitting down and staring right at the door. The two were only an inch from each other, that she might as well be sitting on his lap. And she had one hand on his shoulder. Or the chair? It seemed like her hand was on the back of her neck.My stomach knotted at the

    Nox POVI did not care how pathetic I sound. She asked a question and deserved an answer. More than that, I had just learned that she and Liam never consummated the mark on her neck. My heart was still racing from the joyous revelation.The mark was beginning to fade after she slept with me only once. That was proof that they never consummated. Right now, I refused to imagine how he branded her and didn't claim her afterward.I glanced at her neck again and decided that it was okay to sound as pathetic as they came."So you brought battle to me and my people because I wouldn't talk to you.""Yeah," I nodded."You killed people, Nox," she said."It was a war. There were casualties. I'm sorry they died. It was them or me.""No, it wasn't!" She rolled her eyes."You're right. But they stood in my way of coming to you. Do you understand what that means, Keira?"I could sense no anger in her. She was amazed. And confused. I sensed another feeling that I didn't dare hope for. Not till I cou

    Keira POVI stood in the middle of the brightly lit, newly-decorated office, looking all around me. Nox had just left after the odd confession about his reason for invading. An outrageous reason, indeed. I should be enraged. Maybe I would once the fluttering in my stomach eased up a bit.Did he really mean this? Was he truly giving me back my family business? I finally moved, going around the desk to sit. Many times, especially after Liam showed his true colors, I had imagined myself running this place. It was what I did after my dad passed. When I got married, I had to leave it to Liam and focus on internal pack matters, which was no less fulfilling, but still, this felt like where I ought to be as much as that seat at the pack.Now, I sat at the desk, recalling the old days and picturing the future. My heart grew warm and light at the thought of returning here fully.Then, Belle's face flashed before me. I recalled how she'd stood so close beside Nox, smiling and whispering stuff t

I fought to keep my breathing steady.No. It was ridiculous to think that was one of the notes. There was more than one paper in his grip, and they were too large to be the small pieces of papers that Liam and I used to communicate. He hadn't said a word when I greeted him. His silence was more than unsettling because just this afternoon, he'd confessed that he invaded my pack so that he could be close to

    Nox POVLiam Rudd was not the criminal who had been feeding poison to Keira. He couldn't be. The timing was off. They got married a year ago. Long after the poisoning began. He was away from the pack a lot before they even got engaged. According to Doctors Servius and Ross, Keira had been injesting that poison for at least three years now. At the time, the fücking turd was still in school in some city doing his MBA. He was a bastard and a good-for-nothing cheating motherfücker, but he had no hand in the slow poisoning of his wife. Yet it gave me immense pleasure to torture him into telling me what I already knew. I watched with pleasure as the blood slid down his shoulder while the wound was sealing up. The pleasure vanished quickly to be replaced by the urge to inflict more pain. My stomach was in knots when I finally admitted to myself that he was, in fact, telling the truth. He was not the culprit!But then I knew he wasn't even before I entered his cell room to have this "cha

    Keira POVNox was here. Not just in the building, he was nearby. Every now and then, I would feel him watching me. Today was the first time he came in here since the day he handed the wine company back to me.My morning had been going on smoothly when I sensed him. I'd almost forgotten that my arrest could come at any time. Blame that on the fact that no one stopped me from leaving the building this morning. Not only that, Liam had been taken far away to be punished. All thoughts of my troubles at home were far from my mind. After Nox's cruel words to me, spying on me was the last thing I expected from him. So when I first spotted him, I thought he'd come to kick me out of here. Maybe he would order the warriors around to drag me back to my chamber. Or the prison he'd prepared.I'd spent every single minute of the early hours with the nagging thought that I could be escorted out of here any moment. But until the middle of the day, work continued to go on smoothly despite his watchful

    Nox POVI watched as Liam was escorted out of the building. He was not my primary reason for perching by the window of my office. Keira was passing through the foyer with Pavlov behind her. She stopped shot and stiffened as she sensed her ex far behind.The fact that she could feel him like that made my stomach turn. My father resumed talking, making me recall that I had the phone to my ear. I didn't hear the last thing he said."Nox!" He snapped."I'm right here, your majesty," I returned."Good. He is MY prisoner! Now, I know this goes without saying, but Ramos knows your scent quite well. He wouldn't mistake it for another."My fist tightened on the receiver. Apparently, King Cyrus could read minds. He knew what I was thinking. That was no surprise. He was the father who raised me, so I was more like him than anybody else. He knew me like the back of his hand. "If you go after the guy to murder him on the way, Ramos will know it's you no matter how you disguise yourself. And I w

"Nice to meet you, Mister Vargas," I said instead.Breakfast went on smoothly and seemed to be ending on a good note. No unpleasant talk came up. We were nearly done when the newcomer finally mentioned Liam."I feel like you ought to hear it from me," he said. "Actually, King Cyrus asked me to inform you personally as this is your household. I'm taking Liam Rudd to the Northside. We're leaving in a few minutes."My heart jerked as the news."He confessed to attempting high treason against the Prince," he went on. "That makes him an enemy of the North and the Lycan King's prisoner. Alpha Nox is not allowed to do him any more harm than he already did. The one who gave him the poison will face their punishment here. As soon as we find out who. But I've been asked to bring Liam with me immediately.""I see," I replied lamely, not knowing what else to say.I couldn't stomach the rest

    Keira POVThis was the part where I defended myself and screamed that I had no part in Liam's plan. To tell him that I intended to refuse when next the talk came up.But I did not say a word. I would hate to sound defensive. I had every right to try to take back my pack, did I not?Even if I wanted to speak up right now, my throat was closed as a result of the pain caused by his words.I did not expect him not to retaliate the attempted attack. After all, he was a wolf. A mutant, but a wolf nonetheless. Revenge was part of his genetic makeup. Moments after he went out of my private chamber, I stood waiting. Pavlov or another warrior would barge in any moment to drag me to the dungeon below the building. I would be locked up with the others like a common criminal. In a pack where everyone called me Luna.My palms grew sweaty as I waited. Maybe they would take me to the Autumn Moon. I decided that would be better than being imprisoned here Hours or what felt like it went by, and nothi

I searched for the words to dodge his question. When I opened my mouth, all I could say was,"Wolfsbane? Like the poison?""Yeah. Like the poison," Nox's tone was impatient and unrecognizable. I did not want to look at his face, so I kept my eyes on the tiny transparent bag in his hand. Then he closed his fist around it."I asked you a question, Keira," he said. "Or should I call you Kiki? Did you know he had this with him?""I..." My brain wouldn't work because of the way he was looking at me. Then, I grew annoyed at the intimidation. "You broke into our home, Nox!" How I hated the defensiveness in my voice. How I hated the fact that I was losing my composure."OUR home?" His eyes darkened with anger and something else that was too comfusing to name. "You're on his side, are you? In his possession is the same poison that'

    Keira POVThe day was going too well it was suspicious considering all I had been through. There was only one thing wrong that balanced out the day. Nox was avoiding me. Avoid was the wrong term. He was staying away from me. After our chat three days ago, I'd considered going to see Liam again, but changed my mind. There was no need for that, and I had no idea what I would say to the ex. We also didn't have anything to talk about.Besides, I was very busy now as the person in charge of the winery. There were matters to address, and I didn't have time to see Liam Rudd and tell him plainly that I would not take part in his plan. He'd walked in on us that night. That should suffice.One pressing matter to deal with right now was Belle Faust and the fact that she was still avoiding me. That was not sustainable as she was in charge of sales and an important member of management.Because of her role in the company, dealing with her could not be helped. In fact, we had to work as closely as

I didn't trust myself to be near her without claiming what was rightfully mine now. My feelings had grown dangerously intense at some point after I learned of her divorce.The fact that she still worried about Liam Rudd was hard to deal with. Only one thing came to mind when I thought of that. To claim her until I was the only male she knew and thought about.Her divorce papers had been notarized and now sat before me on my desk. Her Elders Council no longer existed, so the Eastside Council, which was made up of werewolves from all four packs, was happy to certify the document. Felix, Conan and Morris, the lawyer, had represented the Spring Moon.I was staring at the divorce paper while recalling our last chat as I ran my hand through my hair. She hadn't talked back like before. She did not let her hostility show, but the look in her eyes spoke volumes.
