Rejected By The Beta, Loved By The The Demon King chapter thirteen.
Kiara's POV.I went to bed that night with a smile so wide that my cheeks ached. The warmth of Hyde’s lips on my cheek lingered like a sweet memory refusing to fade. I replayed the moment over and over again, feeling a strange sense of excitement that was entirely new to me. Sleep came easily, and for the first time in a long while, I didn’t feel the weight of loneliness pressing down on me.** I woke up the next morning with an energy I hadn’t felt before. Unlike other mornings where I would wake up feeling disappointed that Hyde was nowhere beside me, today was different. He wasn’t there, but it didn’t sting as much. Instead, I felt a smile stretch across my face as I stretched my arms lazily, feeling unusually refreshed.Humming to myself, I went through my usual morning routine, taking extra care with my appearance. The excitement bubbling inside me made me feel like I was glowing from within. As I brushed my hair, I allowed my thoughts to drift back to last night. The way Hyde h

Kiara's POV.I sat by the garden, my fingers lightly tracing the edge of the stone bench beneath me. The rising sun was warm against my skin, but there was an odd chill inside me that nothing could quite banish. Lady Isabella's words kept echoing in my mind, haunting me with their implications. Every time I thought I had a handle on the situation, her smile, so cold and knowing, would creep back into my thoughts.Did they really see me as some pawn to be used in their game? It made my stomach twist uncomfortably. I wasn’t some fragile, naive girl. I wasn’t a simple tool to be manipulated, because I don't have a wolf doesn't mean I'm that weak, and I really don't think they know that I'm wolfless, why then do they think me this naive? My mind raced with those thoughts, the feeling of unease gnawing at me.I let out a sigh, pushing the thoughts aside. I didn’t need this. I needed a little peace from the haunting thoughts. But that was becoming harder to find.The sudden rustling sound

The morning at the crescent Star pack on this day was all about the community work, usually done once every month.Repairs to the old wall that separated the pack's territory from the others beyond, strengthening the borders, and preparing for the changing seasons. It was meant to be a demonstration of unity, though few actually saw it that way. Hyde’s arrival didn’t go unnoticed. Everyone present seemed genuinely happy to see him, bowing slightly in recognition of his presence. It was what angered his brothers, his attachment with the pack members despite the rumors spread about him. They stood in the background, watching everyone else work while they inspected, it was the usual routine being the king's sons.Hyde, however, was a different story. As he walked toward the group, he didn’t stop to play the role of an aloof ruler as always. He didn’t even look at his brothers. Instead, he rolled up his sleeves and grabbed a shovel, joining the workers with a quiet intensity. He shove

The forest swallowed Hyde whole as he pushed deeper into the woods. He didn’t care about the thorns that scraped his arms or the branches that slapped against his face. The roar inside him was louder than the rustling leaves or the wind through the treetops.He found a space... surrounded by crooked trees and stopped. His chest heaved, his breath ragged with rage. Without hesitation, he turned toward the nearest tree and slammed his fist into its trunk. The bark bit into his knuckles, splitting the skin, but he didn’t stop. Another punch. And another.“Damn it!” he growled, each word guttural, shaking through clenched teeth.The bark tore, and blood was beginning to coat his fist, but Hyde barely felt it. Pain was welcome it made sense. It had rules. Unlike Alonzo’s twisted schemes. Unlike the burning anger that clawed at his insides because he’d had to walk away when everything in him screamed to destroy his brother.He leaned forward, his palms flat against the tree, breathing hard.

Kiara's POV."I'd rather remain mateless, than have you as a mate," he spat, his eyes bloodshot as he stared deep into my eyes. His cold voice jolting through my spine. Devin Peoria, Beta Asher's son was my fated mate, I had expected it to be the best episode of my life, and looked forward to our mating ceremony but of course, misfortune will always find a way to knock me down a second before I could escape it."You are wolfless, you mean nothing, the moon goddess must be mistaken to pair us together " he spat. My stomach churned in despair as I feared hearing his next words, which were pretty obvious now.I could hear the faint giggles from the crowd that was starting to gather around us. "I, Devin Peoria, hereby reject you, Kiara Ezra as my mate and future Luna," he finally let the dreadful words out, sending stabs of pain through my already torn heart, slicing it into a million tiny pieces.Instantly, I felt a sharp pain shot through me, nibbling through my skin.I tried so despe

Kiara's POV."What is taking so much time? They are here already," The door flung open revealing Helene. One look at her and I broke into an uncontrollable fit of tears all over again.Helene has been my personal maid since I was a kid, and the chief maid as well. She was the only one who doesn't treat me like trash in the pack. She pushed me through the years and tried to protect me from everyone, including my father, as much as she could. Now that I'm being separated from her, what more could hurt the most? Her gaze lingered softly on me for a while before turning to the bunch of maids dressing me up. "I need a moment with her, excuse us please," Once they had shut the door behind them, she slowly traced her steps towards me, walking past and stood beside me, her hands gently lowered on my shoulders as she stared pitifully at me through the large dressing mirror in my room. "Wipe your tears child, it isn't the end of the world," I chuckled bitterly, more tears streaming down m

Kiara's POV.For several seconds I stood frozen on the spot as I stared at the most handsome man I've ever set my eyes on while I pondered over what he just said.He can't be serious right?I mean he's not the....Wait, what?"You... You are..."Hyde Montero," he quickly cut in.Oh my God.It's really him, my supposed husband."And I'm certain that you are Kiara Ezra," he added, seizing me up from my face down to the toes. I was still wallowing in confusion.If he was truly Hyde Montero then why haven't anyone ever said anything about his looks? Everyone spoke about him like he had some sort of horns on his forehead to support his demon king title. Only his heinous crimes were listed but absolutely nothing was said about his appearance, not even the tiniest little bit. I couldn't stop wondering why he appeared to be different from everything said about him, he looked a little too good looking for a devil.Well except the cold look in his eyes, the dark tides hovering around it was

Kiara's POV.Throughout the drive to Hyde's surprisingly distant kingdom, no one said a word to anyone. The silence could be sliced effortlessly with a butter knife. We had left immediately after the rites were completed. Aside the elders, none of the pack members showed up. The smile on my father's face as Hyde led me to his carriage was unexplainable. He really wanted me out so badly. I hope that one day, his resentment towards me will be backed up with a tangible clue, there has to be more to it that meets the eye. Strangely, it was beginning to seem as though Hyde and I suffered the same faith, how could he travel such long distance to wed yet no one came with him, not even a single member of his family, or the elders of his clan, His father who had agreed to the marriage wasn't in attendance too. It was just him and few of his servants and guards. Well, his situation was understandable anyway being that there was a recent rumor about him killing his brother. Who would accompa

Kiara's POV."I didn't mean to say that." I quickly apologized as I realized the gravity of my words. Surprisingly, he chuckled lightly, shaking his head amusedly. "You don't have to apologize, it actually sounded a lot different having someone say it to my face than hearing it behind the faceless rumors."I stared blankly at him without saying a word, although I had a question running through my head, threatening to burst through my mouth. "Spit it out Kiara, I'm all ears." His next words sounded like an active bomb explosion over my ear. He can read my thought now or what?He really acts so strange sometimes. "Uhm.. please don't take this the wrong way, but all my life, I've heard the rumors.. The demon king.. is.. uhm.. is it true?" I wasn't bothered about how badly I must have spelt out my sentence, I was more concerned about finally letting it out.He chuckled lightly. "It might be true." "Or it might as well just be rumors," I stared blankly at him, unable to process his e

Kiara's POV."Whatever, now turn around, I want to take off my clothes," I said and a creepy smirk broke out on his face."What if I don't want to be responsible?" He said."Hyde, please, turn the hell around!" I gritted in frustration and he chuckled under his breath."Fine," he nodded, raising his hands in surrender, and turned around.I quickly stripped off my clothes leaving only my underwear and turned around.My eyes flew wide open in horror as I sighted him facing me with his eyes wide open staring at me."How dare you!" I yelled, glaring hard at him."I caught you staring." I"That's because I let you," he winked.Oh, this man. I'm supposed to be scared of you, why am I feeling different now?I could feel his gaze piercing into my skin as I walked towards the river brink, dipping my legs on the water and lowered myself on the edge. The feeling of the cold water against my skin was absolutely awesome, it sent a relaxing sensation through my body. My eyes squeezed shut, totall

Kiara's POV. I released the heavy breath I never knew I was holding up until we were outside of the elder's chamber."Well, that went just like I had expected." Hyde muttered behind me.I snapped my head swiftly to face him. "You knew this was going to happen?" He nodded with a small smirk. "I'm always many steps ahead of them." The level of confidence this man possesses is enviable. He really is a one man soldier like the rumors have it. "You we'rent supposed to witness that, it must have turned your stomach, my apologies." He suddenly blurted. Okay, that's really nice of him to consider my feelings, even when he should be the one hurt from all the accusations. Hold on! Did I just say accusations?Am I really beginning to make excuses for this man? Back in my pack when I never dreamt of ever ending up married to him, I believed all the rumors spread about him, but I can't say the same now, I was beginning to have a second thoughts about the rumors now.

Rejected By The Beta, Loved By The The Demon King Chapter nine.
Kiara's POV. I found a simple suitable dress for the evening and quickly changed into it. Glancing over the mirror at the far end of the room, I smiled to myself. The long gown wasn't so tight, but it complimented the tiny curves that I never knew I had. Somehow, I was really beginning to see myself in a new light since I left my pack. The door suddenly flung open cutting through my chain of thoughts, it was Hyde. He was clad in his usual all black outfit, although that never made him one bit less attractive. His gaze lingered on me for a second, suddenly at my thigh area which was exposed by the little slit on the dress. "Sha.. shall we go?" I stuttered, in a bid to tear off the awkward silence. He nodded curtly, surprisingly stretching forth his hand towards me.Okay? What is he doing?"C'mon Kiara, we are gonna be late." He mumbled, his hand still stretched out. It then occured to me what was going on. He wanted me to place my hands on his. Why does he always do that tho
Rejected By The Beta, Loved By The The Demon King Chapter eight.
Kiara's POV.What?Did he just ask me that?Am I supposed to be sleeping after the maids have taken hours to prepare me for him?"The maids... ""You should sleep, the night is long gone already." He cut me off quickly and proceeded to undo his shirt buttons. I was left bewildered, my lips slightly parted open, trying to wrap my head around what just happened.It was quite obvious from the seductive way the maids have dressed me up that I wasn't in form for sleep, even a blind person could tell. Why is he suddenly choosing to act oblivious to it? Isn't he the one who sent them to prepare me for tonight? What's going on?"Uhm..." I cleared my throat gently, deciding to speak up if he won't."The maids... They said it's time to... Uhm.. to consummate our marriage." The words felt like a heavy wood clamped against my throat, refusing to be let out. Slowly, he turned towards me, an expressionless look on his face. "Are you ready?" His next words threw me offguard. I opened my mouth t
