Kieran's POV It felt good that my suspicions had been easily confirmed by Jephta's previous unfortunate experience. Now, we have more than enough conviction to fight Bridge off to the end. “So, Caleb wanted us to end up in Bridge's area of Gingrich since the hotel where we had planned to stay was relatively close to his pack,” Nyx said.“His plans failed grossly when we took a turn at Alpha Daniel's pack, and not Bridge's,” Nicholas muttered.“But why go through all that stress just to get us in one place for a night or two?” Jephta asked.“Maybe we'd have been better aligned with Bridge, or maybe he'd have even killed us, since it would have been quite easier,” I growled. “Well then, I guess we dodged a bullet.” Nyx sighed.“So, get ready, we leave by nightfall,” I said.“How hard do you think it'd be?” I asked Nicholas, who stood close to me. “Since they're not expecting us. It shouldn't be so hard, and also, the only difficult thing should be passing their borders safely.”“Yea
Nyx's POV I wasn’t entirely sure about what Kieran was saying, but if he believed it was right, then I had to trust him. He had led us through battles, through impossible situations, and somehow, we made it through. That had to count for something. When we finally arrived back at the pack house, most of the pack members had already gone to bed. The house was quiet, peaceful, and for the first time in what felt like forever, there was no immediate danger lurking in the shadows. But not everyone was able to rest. Nicholas was still on edge. His paranoia about another attack wouldn’t let him relax. Even though we had won, he wasn’t taking any chances. He gathered most of the guards and positioned them outside, watching every corner of the territory, making sure no one could take us by surprise. Blue stood outside with him, watching over the pack house with him. She didn’t say much, but I knew she shared Nicholas’s worries. They weren’t wrong to be cautious. After everything we h
Nyx's POV I got down with Kieran. It was scary because I could only imagine Caleb would try to get to me somehow. I growled, trying to suppress the fear that had already built up inside of me.“Who are you, and why are you here?” Kieran asked, growling. Blue came to stand beside me, and Nicholas beside Kieran.“I came to hasten up the work the master has sent you.” The lead wolf growled. “Go and kill Alpha Daniel!”“Your threats to him are meaningless.”So, I was right. Caleb did send them. Who knows if he's lurking somewhere, waiting for the perfect opportunity to grab me and escape?“You do know that this fight is pointless, right?” I asked.“The chances of us surviving are pretty low, but we will deliver the message the Alpha has sent us.” The wolf growled again.“Then, so be it.” Kieran growled. The air was very tense as the wolves snarled at us. My heart pounded like a drum inside my chest, but I forced myself to stay calm. I trained for this. I have learned to fight. But fear
Kieran's POV Nyx and I somehow found ourselves in the toilet of the restaurant. It was big enough to take more than five people.To be less worried about people running into us, Nicholas and Blue were standing as guards outside.I forced the toilet door open, fiddling with my belt as Nyx hurriedly unbuttoned my cloth. Every now and then, our lips would collide.“You are so beautiful.” I groaned, kissing her desperately. “And you are the object of my desires.” She whispered back at me, staying a little bit longer on my tongue. I finally got my belt off my trousers. I threw it off immediately. Nyx was almost done with my shirt, so I moved to the zip of her gown. I removed it slowly whilst enveloping my mouth with Nyx's.The last button of my shirt gave way, and I shrugged it off, discarding it carelessly. At the same time, I tugged at the zipper of her gown, slowly peeling it away, savoring every inch of her skin that was revealed. She gasped when i kissed her shoulders, and I couldn
Kieran's POV I took the letter from Nyx's hand, and carefully placed her on the table. She looked at me, and then at the letter. She was obviously scared, and the only emotion I had was anger. How dare he write to me when he kidnapped my mate?“When was this delivered?” I asked, looking sternly at the letter, trying to keep myself calm.“This morning, a few minutes before you arrived,” Jubril responded. “Nicholas, read it out,” I said, handing the letter over to him.Nicholas sighed, looking over at the contents of the letter. “Highly esteemed Alpha Kieran, it is time to fulfill your part of the contract. I want Alpha Daniel of Gingrich dead, and you will do it to fulfill the contract, or I will take Luna Nyx from you, be cooperative,” Nicholas read out loud. The fear on Nyx's face tripled, and the anger I felt quadrupled. “Write him back, and make sure it's clearly stated that if he comes five kilometers close to me or Nyx, I'll have his head. Make it known that the contract was
Nyx's POV We spent two more days at Alpha Daniel's lodge to ensure Bridge wasn't going to cause any trouble. Kieran was mostly insistent on staying because he would get the chance to beat Bridge again. When Alpha Daniel learned that Kieran beat Bridge even with Daniel's magic, he began to reverence him in a weird way. Even his pack would bow to greet us. The two days were the best days of the days we spent in Gingrich. We barely left the house, only to show ourselves in public so that Bridge would see that we weren't running. Kieran was more than ready to beat him up again, and I was disappointed in myself for even ever doubting him.Alpha Daniel made sure to personally tutor me on how to fight better. I fought him until he wasn't able to beat me anymore. We were standing beside the car, about to leave Gingrich.“Sometimes, I wish I had made a video clip of me beating his ass up.” Kieran whispered into my ears, and I chuckled.“You're a proud boy.” I rolled my eyes at him, squirmi
