Kira's POVMy toes curled at the effect of the kiss, I doubt if Xander knows how cute unpredicted kisses are. When he eventually let my lips go, I wasn't ready to end it yet, and Ayla definitely doesn't either. He had an amused look when he stepped back. “I almost thought you would chew off my lips with how vicious you attacked it.” He mused.I scoffed, rolling my eyes and trying to steady my shaky breath. “Speak for. yourself, don't try to use reverse psychology on me. You were the one who switched from discussing something serious to intertwining tongues.”Xander looked unashamed, “I was only endeavoring to lighten the mood. It was too tense.” A throaty laugh escaped my lips, “Sure, I get that.” I observed him for a second. “There is something you feel doubtful telling me about. What's wrong?” “Wow, no one told me you were a psychic.” I sighed, returning to my sitting position. “If we would do this together Xander, it would be nice to not keep anything from each other.” Ignorin
Author's POVLeila blinked slowly, trying to keep her eyes in their sockets and avoid throwing the vicious glare she has in mind at Elizabeth. Her controlling and dominating attitude, makes Leila's insides churn in frustration. At the same time, the woman is more like a role model for her. Leila has a secret admiration of Elizabeth. The way she carries herself letting everyone know she is the boss. It makes Leila dream of a day she would live such a power filled life. Sighing, Leila glared at Declan as he tried to arrange the files his mother had handed over to him. They were sitted in Elizabeth's study, awaiting the meeting she had called on Leila's idea to over throne the present alpha family. Sometimes, Leila hates how weak Declan was when it comes to his mother. The idea was her master plan and to be carried out her own way. But, he ended up blurting it all out to his mother, ruining everything. “You don't look too good, Leila. Would you like some iced tea?” Elizabeth asked he
Kira's POVMy eyes lingered on my dad and sister as they laid on the bed, with their eyes closed. Their breath moved slowly. It hurts to see them looking lifeless.“But they are alive.” Ayla whisperedI sighed, that was one thing to be genuinely thankful for. Me being able to save them was a miracle, and the both of them striving to live was another thing. I had just returned from my early morning training with Xander, when I thought to check on them first. Having Xander's head for breakfast would please me really good at the moment. I had thought the training would have me throwing punches and legs. But for three straight days now, Xander has had me doing just push-ups and lifting dumbbells. Whenever I tried to talk or ask him about it, he would flip at my butt with a flexible ruler that I wonder where he got it from. We haven't said anything to each other aside; good morning and goodbye. I miss his touch, to help me see just how much he missed the first day of training. I wore a
Xander's POV“He wants to have what? I still don't understand this, is the goddess really playing with me right now? This never happened in the first life, there is no way Declan is involved in architecture. That young man is a block head!” Kira kept ranting as she punched at the bag profusely. I have a feeling those hands would refuse to work by the end of the day. It's not like I really care, even though my wolf does. Okay! I do care, and which is why I need to get her away from paralyzing those hands that turn me on so bad. “That's enough, Kira! You would do more damage if you keep straining your hands like that.” I told her, pulling her to the stool to sit. “Get a grip on yourself.” She panted hard, resting her head on her knee. I grabbed a bottle of cold water and handed it to her. It was just six thirty in the morning and Kira has burned enough fat for two days. Ever since she entered the gym, all Kira did was rant. I had ignored her the whole time, she kept texting and call
Kira's POVI practically ran half of the mile that led to the pack house. Sometimes and most times it is essential to set boundaries with people. No matter how close you might be together. One of the things that I refused to see was how easily, Leila invades my privacy with no caution. My wolf huffed in exhaustion, making my way up the stairs my eyes shone in horror when Leila sat on the edge of the bed rummaging through the bag. “Leila!” I called out, snatching the bag from her hand. “Can you keep off my things please?” She had a surprised look on her face, “wh…what? When did you start keeping things away from me?”It's the entitled tone in that squeaky voice of her that had Ayla growling. “It's something in relation to the pack house. You should have at least waited for me to return before going through my things.”Leila sat up, like she has been pricked with something, a pained look on her face. “Can I ask you a quick question? Since when did I become a stranger to you and I hav
Kira's POVAt this point, I can calmly accept the fact that today isn't fated to be my day. I have been clumsy all morning, and unthinking too. I can imagine how disappointed Xander would be when he hears about my foolishness. “Hey, baby. What happened?” Declan's voice swirled over my head. Shame wouldn't let me get up, this wasn't how I planned it. I had thought to play smart and leave the room immediately. Thank goodness I was out before he suspects anything. Bracing myself, I took his hand to stand on my feet. “I was searching for a restroom. Making my way out, I slipped.” I explained through heavy breath. “ I apologise for that baby. This is all my fault, I rushed down here as soon as I could.” He said. I smiled stiffly, walking down the stairs with him. I noticed his head looking behind, he must have suspected something too. If I ever flop, this second chance of me getting to amend the wrongs in my life. I might commit suicide. What I didn't expect to see was Elizabeth in a
Author's POVElizabeth chewed rapidly on the apple she had in hand, trying to jolt her brain into working faster than expected. The more she stared at the company's monthly expenses, the more Xander's face kept showing up to obstruct her thoughts. She hates the boy with every fiber in her, Xander's new involvement in the activities was ruining her plans to sell off the company in a bid to get more money from it. But Elizabeth can't do such anymore without being trialed for fraud. All the shady activities that herself and Declan had indulged in without caring about the company's growth. They had collided with the lawyer to keep Xander out of the will. Which automatically keeps Xander away from the activities. However, she discovered eventually that Xander is a major shareholder in the company. Which makes it more of a headache to her. Taking in a deep breath, she leaned into the chair, trying to get the nagging negative thoughts off her chest. Her wolf was more excited about the ne
Xander's POVI could feel Miguel's eyes lingering on me as I punched through the bag, like it had offended me at one point. All of my insides churned so bad, not even a run in the woods would aid my mood.Different thoughts lingered in my head and I really can't seem to help their movement around my head. Discovering, just how far, Elizabeth and that bloody son of hers had gone to bring my father's company to its knees. Has me fumed. What exactly were they spending on all the money on? It surprises me that they would squander such a large amount of money without doing anything to replenish it. They gave laid off practically every trustworthy employee. I had gone to make some findings, only to discover that I am a major shareholder. Can't believe I have acted so cowardly, keeping myself away. Probably because, I was angry that my dad gave away all the major assets to his wife and stepson. It was more of a promise to myself, to not do anything or involve in any activities in relation
