Keira’s POVOver the next few weeks things went back to normal around the pack house, and between me and Dawson. He stopped drinking like he said, and things have been like they were in the beginning, blissful. Two days ago he was sent out on a mission to help an allied pack. He is returning today after successfully fighting back some rogues. I’m happy he had a successful mission without getting hurt. He and the other warriors are planning to arrive back around dinner time, so the pack is planning a big feast. The Luna and I worked together to plan the feast. This is the first event I’ve had a hand in planning, and I’m really excited for it. “Alright, I think that just about finishes that. It’s up to the kitchen staff now to have it all ready for tonight.” Luna Bethany says. “I’m looking forward to it.” I tell her.“We only have an hour before Dawson arrives, why don’t you run up and get ready.” She says.“Thanks Luna, I’ll see you later.” I head up stairs
Keira’s POVI remember the feeling of pain, then I must’ve passed out, I don’t remember anything after that. My head hurts. I open my eyes and a bright white light pours in. Where am I? I blink a few times before my vision clear up. I’m in a hospital bed and I’m alone. I remember running from Dawson after he knocked out Harrison. I remember Dawson catching me and attacking me. My hand touches my face. It’s covered in bandages. What did that monster do to me? The curtain is pulled back and Macie enters.“Macie.” I whisper, my throat is dry. “Luna, you’re awake. How are you feeling?” She asks.“Like crap.” I say. “Could I have some water?” I ask her. She nods her head and leaves for just a minute before coming back with a yellow cup and a straw. She positions the straw to my lips. I sip a few big gulps, quenching my thirst. After I’m satisfied I clear my throat. “What happened?” I ask Macie. She looks down and away from me. “Alpha Dawson.. he attacked y
Keira’s POVTwo days have passed since I woke up in the hospital. Macie has been by my side this whole time. Harrison visited too. I heard Dawson was sent away on another mission. I wonder what plan the Alpha and Luna have, I mean they can’t keep Dawson away on missions forever. I’ve thought about what Macie suggested. But I can’t just abandon my pack. I need to come up with a solution, or maybe I just endure it for them. I’m not sure what the right thing to do is. The doctor said I’m going to be released today. Macie told me that the entire pack is excited to see me again. I’m truly thankful I’ve met so many wonderful people in this pack. I don’t want to cause them any issues. Why does Dawson have to be like this? He’s ruining everything I’ve ever thought about fated mates. I think they’re more of a curse than a blessing.“You ready to leave Luna?” Macie asks.“Yes please.” I still have some bruising and a cut, but the pain is mostly gone. I get out of bed and Maci
Keira’s POVI take off running away from the lands of Pale Moon Pack. When I reach the mouth of a river I stop to take a break. It’s still dark outside, and I put another couple of miles in between me and our borders. I’m exhausted and starving. Macie packed me some snacks for the way. I unwrap a protein bar and take a huge bite out of it. Macie said her head omega passes these out when the omegas need a boost of energy in between meals. It has a soft and gritty texture, and it doesn’t taste very good. I check the wrapper. Chocolate chip peanut butter. It has a slight peanut taste but absolutely no chocolate chips at all. Still I’m so hungry I finish it in two bites and pull out another one. Apple cinnamon flavor. This one tastes slightly better, and isn’t as gritty as the chocolate chip. I eat this one just as quick and then I wash down my dinner with a few good gulps from my water bottle. Then I take out the piece of paper Macie gave me. It’s a map of the area, and some d
Keira’s POV“Let me show you where you’ll be going.” Samara says. She pulls out a map. This one’s more detailed than the one Macie gave to me. “Here is Cedar Creek Pack.” She points to a small area north of where I am now. It’s a good distance from Pale Moon and Elk Forest. “When can I go there?” I ask.“We can head out now! I’ll come along to help you get settled. Let me get ready.” “You don’t have to.” “It’s better if I do. You’ll have to cut ties with your old pack and join the new one. Plus I’d like to see my old friend.” She says before heading to the back of the house. I wait on the couch for her to come back. A few minutes later she returns with a small bag and a book. “Alright, I’m ready to go.” She says. I grab my bag and we set off. I follow her through the forest.“We’ll take my car.” She yells back.“You have a car?” I ask.“Of course I do. Do you think I’m some hermit that lives in the woods?” She replies with a laugh.
Keira’s POVMy alarm goes off at seven o’clock. I didn’t want to sleep in too much, just incase someone got here early. I get dressed and eat a banana. There was some fruit and food in the fridge left by Lynn. I don’t know how to cook a lot of things, but I can make eggs, which is what I had for dinner last night. This is going to be such a different world for me. Making all my own meals, and working. I never thought about what this life would be like. I take a shower and get dressed. I look so bizarre with my new hair, it’s definitely going to take some getting used to. I hear someone open the door to the shop, there are three bells that hang from the handle. I head down stairs and through the kitchen. But then I think, what if Dawson has found me? What if it’s someone coming to take me back to him. “Hello?” I say. I look around for a weapon. Then a girl with pink hair pokes her head into the kitchen. I jump.“Oh my gosh I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to scare you. I
Keira’s POVOver the next few days I work with Talia on learning all the different drinks and cleaning up the shop to get it ready for the grand re-opening. Talia was nice enough to make me a chart to follow for some of the more complicated drinks, I have it laminated and taped to the counter for easy access. I’ve also been learning how to work the register, and how to clean and maintain all the different equipment. There’s the coffee pots, the espresso machine, the grinders, the milk steamer, the dispensers where we store the cold brew, and chai, and even the dishwasher. It’s a lot of new information so Talia also made me a daily and weekly cleaning/ maintenance checklist for everything. I’ve been keeping pretty busy with the coffee shop, but I’ve also managed to begin updating my new apartment. I picked a pale yellow color for my walls and had Dave order me a few gallons. When I’m not training in the shop, I’ve been deep cleaning and painting my apartment. Talia and Dave
Keira’s POVI get back to the shop where Talia is waiting for me. She waves as I approach.“Lily! Where have you been?” She asks.“I went to the lake to get away from the crowds.”“Alone? You should be careful being so close to the woods.” She says.“I met Vivian out there.” “Oh, she’s so polite. It was a sad day when her father passed away. It forced Beta Shepard into his position. Have you met him yet?” She asks. SHEPARD! That was his name! “Yes, twice actually. Once at the hardware store and then he came up to us by the lake.” “Isn’t he a dream boat?! Uhg! He’s so cute. And the Alpha is even more attractive.” She stares off into the distance. I giggle.“But enough of that, let’s walk around. Everything is open and it smells amazing out here.” She links her arm in mine and leads me down the street. We see Nat at a booth and we try some of the baked goods we’ll be selling in the coffee shop. Everything was incredible. There was a booth se
