Xander's POVIt's time I really put up a crazy act to keep Mira far from me. She has made it a point of duty to make my life miserable by showing up at the least expected time. I can't run away from the bar all In a bid to keep her away. Would have been better if she showed up with just a wine bottle in hand. Mira showed up looking like a snack and I wanted to devour her right on the spot. But, I tried to keep my self-control and not do something I would really regret. If she wasn't so childish about everything. I would have taken her right there and then. She is everything one would want in a woman. To take to bed, that is. I would choose Kira over her a hundred time. No offense to Mira, though.“Hold still, Mira.” I told her, holding up her arm to keep her legs steady. After I refused her, Mira had sat right in front of me. Opened the wine bottle and drank the entire content without stopping to think of what it would do to her. I tried to call for a taxi to pick her up, but none
Author's POVAlmost yanking off the door handle, Leila stormed into the study her father sat in. Fuming hard, her wolf reared its head and her heartbeat raced at a very dangerous pace. Jesse stood up hurriedly from the chair, his eyes darting around the room. Wondering what got his daughter so worked up. “What's wrong, angel?” Jesse inquired, holding out her hand. Leila sniffed, her lips shaky. Every muscle inside of her boiled with anger. Seeing Carl pace around the house like nothing happened between them, had her ego really bruised, and her anger was on the rise due to his persistent refusal to give in to her demands. The whole of her craves for him. She had thought having a long intense sex with Declan would erase Carl's memory, instead it felt like Leila would never get enough as long as it's not Carl. “I want them out of this house, dad!” She screamed. Jesse took a deep breath, he gets exhausted of Leila's tantrums most times. And he couldn't blame her for something he had
Kira's POVWhoever rewrote the script to this second life of mine sure has humor up their sleeves. Because what In the world is all of this drama? I had received a call from Leila's phone that she got into an accident. But, the person I saw on that bed looks like she staged it to me. Not even a major scratch. Since I was the one who got called, I decided to text her father. I have no idea how Declan got to know, sure he must have been called before me. “Ba….” He was about to say when his eyes landed on me. Declan had definitely run from his car down to the ward, he was winded. I held back a laugh at his moment of weakness, he had almost given the both of them away. Something, I know for sure, Leila would wring his neck for.“Hey, baby.” He gestured towards me, planting a breath filled kiss on my forehead. Snorting lightly, I stared up at him. “How did you get to know about the accident?” I askedDeclan chuckled awkwardly, “I think they called the first people on her contact list.
Xander's POVStaring at the files in front of me, I still couldn't believe my eyes. Whatever were these men up to when they were together? It didn't seat right with me that Kira and I were at a dead end on finding out about Elizabeth's connection with our fathers. Even though her connection with my father was glaring. And I no longer doubt the fact that she had something to do with his death. Elizabeth's greed sure knows no limit and her attempt at dragging me in the mud with her sure didn't go unnoticed. I had stumbled on the yearbook of my dad's set, though old and rusty it was still intact enough to get just about information one needs. On one page of the magazine, I saw the pictures of the most popular kids and friend cliques that year. To my amazement, my father, and his friends were all named, and I got the last name of the only friend who had our mind puzzled. Conrad Belforth. I grinned to myself, wiggling the pen in my hand. I had texted Kira to come immediately. I know sh
Kira's POV“Fancy, seeing you two times in a day. And the day is not even over yet.” Carl teased when he met me outside the gym.When Xander and I discovered, Carl was the son of the late Conrad. It had taken us both by shock and I would have never expected such twist of fate. Our eagerness was too evident, and we couldn't wait until another day to affirm the new information. I had called Carl, even though Xander didn't feel comfortable with it. And asked him to meet me at the gym for something critical. Wearing one of Xander hoodie to protect my face, just in case Declan is still roaming about in the hope to find me. I pulled Carl in hurriedly.“Hey easy, baby. I'm all yours.” He flirted. “She has no interest in making out with you” Xander blurted from behind, locking the gym door after asking everyone to come back later in the evening and entry would be free for all of those who missed their routine. Carl glanced around with a questioning look on his face. “What is this all about
Author's POVAriana watched in dismay at Carl almost choking on the beer bottle he had in hand. His eyes looked distant, and she was trying to seek for the perfect time to approach him and ask what was wrong. She had never seen him look so distressed before. Sighing, she took careful steps towards him. “How are you, son?” She inquired, rubbing at his back, Carl raised his head up, trying to open the almost closed up eyes to see her. “Hey, mama.” “What's wrong with you?” She inquired with a worried look on her face. Carl snorted, “I can't tell which exactly.”“Have you been thinking?” Sighing, he put the bottle in his mouth, swallowing a considerable chunk of the pour. Ever since he met with Kira and Xander, he has been in deep thought. Wishing his life wasn't so complicated, and he didn't have to be roped into the mess created by his father. Ariana sat silently, observing him with keen eyes. His sober eyes reminded her of the thin - looking twelve-year-old child, she had met dur
Author's POVStretching out his leg on the couch while throwing his head to the back. Declan tossed the beer bottle in his hand back and forth. He couldn't bring himself to stop thinking about what had happened on his hospital visit to Leila. First it was him discovering Leila has a hidden stepbrother and there is Kira who ran off that day and still hasn't called him. Declan would have expected her to send him an apology on why she got out of the car and left, but Kira did no such thing. And it had him really bothered that she might be seeing someone else or caught a whiff of their plans. He poured the bottle content in his mouth, shutting his eyes tightly as it trailed down his throat. Getting down the stairs, Elizabeth noticed Declan haphazard posture on the couch, looking like he had heard the worst news of his life. She moved closer to him, slapping his legs hard. “Mum!” Declan sucked his teeth as he sat up. “Why would you hit me like that?” “Shouldn't you be at the company to
Kira's POVExcitement coursed through my body as I got ready to head out with Carl. I feel brilliant to have been able to dismiss Leila so easily. I know she isn't asking about my movement because she wants to see me. It's all a front for her to visit Declan without getting caught. I would have been concerned at one time, but now I care nothing about those two. What matters is ruining every plan they might have against me. My phone dinged, and it was Carl; saying he was in front of the pack house. Carl had refused to tell everything he got to know from Ariana to Xander. Claiming he doesn't like Xander guts. I forgot to tell him Xander doesn't fancy his either. Both men stress me a bit too much with the jealousy brewing between them. I decided to go on a brunch with him, I get to hear all he has to say and refer to Xander. The thought of us getting a head start in our findings. It is the more cause of my excitement. Checking myself in the mirror and sure I looked good enough, I ste
