POV: Keith“Yes, uncle. Grandma forgave him, and now he’s with me,” I let out fiercely, proud of my achievement. I still can’t believe that I’d convinced Selene to lift their curse and forgive them. As we searched for Ameera at the airport security, I kept thinking of the power that coursed through my body as I stood before Selene and bargained for the lycans.I’m powerful, I’m the Alpha king and I have the power to decide who lives and who dies. Dymion may be older, but that does not mean that he is stronger than me. I need to get rid of that fear within me that makes me shiver at the thought of him. I just need to get rid of all the distractions and anger within me. When I finally mate with Ameera, then I can face him and put an end to this. But first, I need to find her and plant my seed in her, that’s what the history books say. With my seed in her, I can face him without fear because my lineage will not end with my death. Only she can bear my seed and that is why I need to find
POV: KeithAs the dust settled and I caught sight of Ameera standing next to the broken shelves, relief flooded through me for a brief second before being replaced by a sharp pain of disappointment. Ameera stood there, her attire nothing more than a towel wrapped around her chest. My keen eyes noticed the subtle shift in her expression, a flicker of guilt and weakness that did not escape my notice.Confusion and pain stirred within me as I struggled to process what I was feeling. How could she let him have her, how could she be with another man that is not me, how could she?The thought that she may have been intimate with our sworn enemy, Dymion, cut through him like a blade. The trust I had placed in her, the belief that she reciprocated my feelings, seemed shattered at that moment. The memory of Ameera catching me in a similar compromising position with my waitresses flooded my mind, a painful reminder of my own mistakes. Now, the tables had turned, and the weight of my betrayal bo
POV: Keith“What’s next Alpha, tell me what you want us to do. We can’t sit back and let Dymion pick up his bearing and attack. Let’s hit him now that he is weak, let us destabilize his army and destroy his allies before they come for us. Lead Alpha, lead and we’ll follow. Just tell us what you want us to do, we are ready.” Kyle urged me. I understand his enthusiasm, he has been so busy trying to escape death all this while. Now that he has the chance to live again, he wants to prove his loyalty to me and Selene, he wants to regain our trust. At the same, he wants to get it over with so he can rebuild his home and restore the Lycan pack to what it used to be.“Cool it, Kyle, we’ll get to it pretty soon. I have to secure my future with Ameera before I face my uncle. If I die, I want to make sure my lineage continues.” I told him truthfully. We are past that stage where I would lie and play tricks to keep my plans from him. As my ally, I owe him the truth, I owe them all the truth. “No
POV: KeithWhat are you doing, Keith, why are you being nice to me all of a sudden?” she asked sadly, her eyes filled with tears."I want you to stay, Ameera," I whispered, my voice barely above a breath. "I want to make things right, to show you the love and respect you deserve. Please, give me a chance to prove that I can be the man you need me to be." I told her, lifting her head to look into her eyes. But she swatted my hand off, choosing to look away from me instead. “What is it, Ameera, didn’t you want me anymore, are you not willing to give me a second chance?” I asked sadly. “Oh, come on, Keith, come off it!Are you fucking insane, what is wrong with you?Are we going to act like everything is okay, are we going to sweep all our past mistakes under the rug?For fucks sake, I’d nearly fucked your uncle yesterday morning. If you and Kyle had not come there, I would have done it, Keith, I would have given my Vcard to a man that is after my life, our lives!What kind of a man a
POV: Keith “You would do all this for me?” She asked, her teary eyes looking into mine.“Yeah, baby. I’ll do all that and more for you. I’ll give you the whole world if that would make you happy. Just say that you’ll be mine, Ameera.” I begged, holding her hands and looking into her eyes."Keith, I... I need time to think about this too," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. She is smiling now and that is all I ever wanted. "But I want you to know that I love you too, and I’ll think hard about your proposal and come up with a response real quick." She told me. My face broke into a relieved smile as I closed the ring box and set it aside, reaching out to pull Ameera into my arms. We held each other tightly, the moon rising high above us as we sat together in the quiet of the night, our hearts entangled in a love that was both fragile and strong.As they spent more time together, our bond deepened even more, our connection strengthening with each passing day. It was as if our s
POV: AmeeraParis was beautiful, but my mind was filled with more questions than ever before. Keith's sudden transformation is like a whirlwind that has turned my world upside down. Images of our time together flash through my mind. His gestures of kindness, his thoughtful words, and the way he treated me like a queen. He’s being so cute, but, memories of his past cruelty are still fresh in my head and it's casting a shadow of doubt over my heart.“How can I trust someone who once enjoyed seeing me in pain, who made my life a living nightmare? He caused me so much pain, and I could tell that he loved it, he enjoyed it even. I’m guessing he is some kind of a Dominant or something. If he’s into BDSM, then Is this newfound kindness just a facade, a cruel game to break me once again?I wrap my arms around myself, a shiver running down my spine as conflicting emotions swirl within me. The fear of being hurt again, inner battles with a tinge of hope that maybe, just maybe, Keith's change i
POV: AmeeraHe said I have just two days to return his books back to him. A part of me is telling me to call his bluff and tell Keith about my mom's situation and the silly demands he is making. I could just call his bluff and see if he will put his threats into action. For all I know he could have gotten weaker with time, he may have turned into a spineless weasel over time. I could push his buttons, testing him to see what he is capable of.But this is my mom’s life we are talking about, I can’t begin to play silly games with her life. I’m not the gambling type, one never gambled in my whole life and I’m not about to begin my gambling career with my mom's life. That’s so absurd. I would rather keep it to myself and solve it, or tell him just some part of it and leave out the important details. He will not understand why I’m keeping the truth from him, he could hate me for lying to him again. It’s as if I was taking him back to his old self as if I’m not satisfied with the changes h
POV: Ameera“Get the guys and get the cars ready, we have an urgent mission,” he instructed Kyle and Eddie. Kyle has been hanging around here since we got back from Paris. I wasn’t there when Keith made a deal with him, but I’m glad that he did. It’s nice to have the lycans around watching over us. I’m glad he didn’t ask me to refund the money I stole, that would have been so fucking crazy because I’ve blown it all away.“Grab the damn books and follow me now!” He ordered sternly, refusing to look at my face. I obeyed his orders, and I gathered all the books I had stolen from him, and followed him downstairs. When we got down, I saw the cars lined up in front of the house with the guys standing by the cars, waiting for him. “Hand them over to Kyle and get back inside. I need you to lock the doors and remain inside your room until I get back. I need you to…”“No! No!No, Keith!You won’t leave me on the sidelines anymore, I’m not waiting for your return Keith, I’m fucking coming with
