Rejected By The Beta, Loved By The The Demon King chapter eighteen.
Kiara's POV.The bed was empty when I reached out.Hyde wasn’t there.I blinked against the early morning light filtering through the curtains.I sat up slowly, the draw of sleep still in my eyes. The room felt too quiet without him in it. I glanced toward the door, hoping maybe he’d just stepped out for water... or something. But no. He was gone.Again.I sighed, dragging myself out of bed, and headed into the bathroom, starting the bath without much thought. The steam was warm against my skin offering relaxation, but my mind was already pacing like a restless animal.Where had he gone?After last night… I didn’t expect him to vanish like that. Not without a word.I sank into the tub and tried to push the unease out of my lungs. He needed space, I told myself. That was who he was. But still. The way he’d looked at me..touched me. That hadn’t felt like something you walked away from without a trace.When I got out, the maids had already arrived. I must’ve been in the bath longer than

Hyde fumed with anger and frustration as he stormed through the hallways of the quarters. The building was familiar, holding the memories of far too many nights spent in the same disarrayed state... fueled by anger, by tension, or even crave for pleasure. It was his last resort; it was where men like him went when the world weighed too heavily on their shoulders and needed a night of pleasure and ecstasy.The last time he had walked these halls, it had been under vastly different circumstances, with a sense of triumph and freedom that came knowing he wouldn't be back. Because he was getting married and the last thing he wanted was to cause her pain by cheating with his other mistresses. But it seemed that was too much sacrifice for her. Tonight, he was ready to feed his beast, it's been a long while anyway. And what better way to do that than with Valerie? the woman who had once held a place in his life... who had once known the touch of his lips, his hands, and the dark corners

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 slowly opened my eyes to the soft morning sun that found its way into the room through the window.Somehow, I had slept so soundly, better than the past twenty years of my life.Turning around, a light sigh escaped my mouth as I realized that I was the only one on the bed, Hyde wasn't beside me.Did he not sleep in the room last night? Anyways, that shouldn't be a bother to me right? I mean having him around me makes me nervous and keeps me high on my emotions. I tried to recall the occurrence between us last night, but my memory seemed to blur most of the details out. I could only remember him offering his blood to me, but I was certain he said a few more words to me after that, why can't I seem to remember any of it? A soft knock on the door jolted me out of my trance. I quickly stood up and rushed towards the door, pulling it open to a middle aged lady standing by the door side, with a warm smile on her face. "Good morning ma'am, and welcome to diamond Ave pack,

Kiara's POV.I was shaking in fright as I held onto him tightly, I felt him suddenly go stiff for a moment.My hands around him were slowly slipping off, he was sweating profusely making his body slippery for me to grasp. I was going to fall.Surprisingly, he raised his hands slowly upwards and wrapped them around my waist, I could swore I stopped breathing for a minute, Hyde had his hands on my waist?But then, my excitement was short lived as he carefully carried me down and made me stand on my feet.I had expected him to walk out of the house at that point, since he was almost soaked with blood, he had a cut on his forehead which was bleeding slightly.Instead , I watched him stagger to a corner of the living room and sat, his head rested on the wall, breathing heavily.I could still feel the anger boiling in him furiously. I couldn't stop wondering how someone could be so short tempered.My eyes drifted to the cut on the corner of his face, the bleeding was intensifying.I thought

Kiara's POV. I was already half asleep when I heard the room door creak open.At first, I didn’t move. Just laid there, covered in the sheets. then I stirred slightly to check who it was, and my breath caught in my throat.Hyde.Something in the way the atmosphere in the room moved when he entered. I sat up slowly, pushing the covers off. The room was a bit dark, but I could still make out his face. I slowly sat up, my gaze fixed on him. He didn’t say anything. Just stood there my heart skipped a beat when I sighted blood crusting over his knuckles like dried paint.“Hyde,” I breathed.He didn’t even look up. His shoulders were rigid, his coat hung open, and his hands… gods, his hands.I didn’t ask right away. I didn’t say anything else. I just turned, walked into the bathroom, and ran the water.I found one of the smaller towels, soaked it through, wrung it out, and came back.He still hadn’t moved.“You’re dripping on the floor,” I murmured, gently.That got his attention.He f

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.
Rejected By The Beta, Loved By The The Demon King chapter fifteen.
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

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

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 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
