last update Last Updated: 2024-06-12 11:28:48

Kira's POV.

"Congratulations, hottie, you did great and you are exactly what they say you are," Denver complimented immediately as I stepped out of the car.

Creasing my brow, I asked, "Were you waiting for me all this while?"

He just shrugged, and I rolled my eyes, grabbing my bag from the car seat. I had ditched him back at the courthouse because I had some pressing issues to attend to. I was hoping he would get angry and leave me alone, but he was waiting for me.

"How was your day?" he asked.

"Fine, thank you," I mumbled before walking in. It had been a hectic day, and I was so hungry. I didn't have time to eat because I was so busy. All I wanted to do now was take a bath and eat to my full. No work again today; I was super exhausted.

"If you don't mind, would you like me to take you to dinner tonight?" he asked, falling in step with me.

"No. Not interested. I just wanna eat at home and sleep," I replied snappily and hastened my steps.

Annabella rushed to meet me, took my bag, and

    Kira's POV. "Why are you not killing her?" I heard a distant voice ask and I tried to open my eyes but they seemed too heavy for me to open."I don't want to kill her now, I'm gonna deal with her, I'll make her death painful, you don't think I would let her go after what she had done to us, do you?" Another asked... A familiar voice but my brain seems too foggy to remember whose voice it is.“You’re making a huge mistake, Richard,” the first voice, a man, insisted. “Shoot her now while she’s down. She might do something dangerous once she’s awake.”A woman added, “He’s right. This isn’t the time for arrogance. We’ve seen what she’s capable of.”Richard laughed, the sound grating on my ears. “The drug in her system will keep her unconscious for twenty-four hours. If I kill her now, our property would be gone. She needs to sign everything back to me before I send her to meet Dad.”"You're a fool, this woman is unpredictable Richard, she's like an untouchable force, you managed to knock

    Kira's POV. Grabbing my favorite dagger from my collection, I took a look at myself one last time in the mirror before heading out of the room. I knew everyone must have gathered in the lounge by now; it had already been two hours and counting. I didn't intend to delay the whole process, but I kept thinking of the best way to end Richard.I'm pissed, and thinking always becomes a hard job for me when I'm angry. Fvck that i.d.i.o.t for making me so angry. The poison had worn off, and the funniest and yet scariest thing about my body was the fact that I don't even know the effects of poison. It was after I discovered the different ways my exes had tried to kill me that I realized I've survived many attempts on my life. Poison was the very least of the things they might have done to me, my body had become poison itself. I'm thrilled about making an example of Richard in front of the whole family, and I'm super happy that I finally got my baby her dessert though it's during dinner time

    Ashton's POV“What have you found?” I asked the private detective I had hired to dig deep into Kira. This was the fifth detective I was hiring for this job. I just hope this one can come up with something more reasonable. Something I can hold on to. I didn't need to go for the court case to know that Kira would win the case. Someone like Kira shouldn't be dealt with legally, she would find a way out of it. After all, that was what she did with Jones also. Those properties, I doubt Jones actually willed them to her. Kira is a tricky cunning lady, legal means weren't the right means at all. “I'm sorry, Mr Ashton—”“That's not the reply I want to hear, Detective Bernard. You told me you could handle this one, you said it wasn't a difficult one for you so what do you mean by ‘You’re sorry’?” My words spilled out through gritted teeth. He better have something, anything! My frustration was at his peak and if he doesn't say something useful, I might just drain him of his fucking blood ri

    Kira's POVUsing the stairs, I marched down wearing a white sleeveless button-less shirt with a low-cut neck, gray joggers, and trainers. It was a beautiful weekend and I could not be more excited to go jogging. “Good morning Madam Kira,” Annabella smiled at me the moment she saw me. The spark in her eyes as she looked at me made me wonder why she wasn't scared of me. The living room was covered with fear, I could smell it but she wasn't afraid of me. Not like the rest of them at least. There is a saying that it is when one's hand isn't clean and heart isn't pure that he fears for an unnecessary reason. I nodded to Annabella as I swept my gaze through the living room, there were families there. The moment they saw me, some had gotten up and were making their way towards the elevator. Beautiful, just how I wanted it and all I had to do was show them an example. Richard, the perfect example. With a smile, I began to stroll out of the living room when I heard an angry voice, “Do no

    Kira's POV. After a refreshing jog that cleared my mind and rejuvenated my spirit, I returned to the mansion, sweat glistening on my skin. The sun was just beginning to rise, casting a golden hue over everything. I felt invincible, I felt so good. As I approached the mansion, I noticed a few police cars parked out front and I knew our guests had arrived. Annabella met me at the gate, her face pale with worry. “Madam Kira, the police are here. Monica truly called them.”I smirked, running a hand through my damp hair. “Of course she did. Let’s go see what kind of mess she’d tried to create. Did you make them comfortable?” "No, Monica would not allow them to enter inside, she insisted that they must wait for you outside, she said she doesn't trust you." She replied and I chuckled, that woman doesn't seem to learn, making the same mistake her late son did. I can't wait to see how this one will end. "Here, have some shakes." Annabella handed me a protein shake as I walked into the comp

    Kira's POV. "That would be all ma'am." One of my managers bowed and left my office with a broad smile but I wasn't not smiling. This girl ain't smiling. Weekends are supposed to be for fun but work has dragged me to the office, so many people are causing trouble for me and there will be a massacre soon if this continues. They can't keep ruining my fun all because they want to bring me down, I deserve to have fun too... I have feelings too... Mostly to get fucked actually, my body is going crazy. That's one addiction I love to hate. My imprudent, ignoramus exes are to be blamed, after having three men to myself... Addiction had become a thing but despite the crazy addiction, I don't fuck anything on trousers, if my tastes aren't met, that's an automatic disqualification. Sighing, I stood up, grabbed my bag and began to walk towards the door. Going clubbing is a great idea but my mood is off right now so home it is. Stepping out of the elevator, a childish voice shouted "Mommy!" An

    Kira's POV“Hello, my lady,” Noel had a wide grin as he watched me walk to him from where I had parked my car when I came in earlier. It was late at night and he was dressed to kill. Who says only a woman can dress to kill? He made a new idea pop into my mind “Noel,” I called to greet him. He was resting his back on the blue Rolls Royce, dressed in a white button-less top, black jeans, and black Nike shoes. His hair was curly and messy, he looked handsome under the streetlight. “Good evening ma'am, I thought you'd never call me after Don Jones passed,” and I rolled my eyes at him. Noel and I met one of the days I tried to escape from Jones. He was assigned by Jone to guard and look after me and I saw a clear opportunity to escape when the idiot fell asleep. Jones had taken me out of the mansion so there were not many guards around, it was a good way to escape and I could have.But when he woke up to see that I was no longer in the room, Noel came running in search of me.

    Kira's POVI was sitting on the McLaren Senna GTR, and I'm loving the feeling already. I made payment almost immediately. The car was no different from the owner's; beautiful, fast, and expensive. Now, let's see what this baby girl can do. Does it also have the attribute of a winner? It should be better because that's who I am, I don't fail. “Get in, Noel!” I ordered, but the scaredy-cat was refusing to step into the car. “I don't mind watching you from here, ma'am Kira. I promise you, I'll cheer better than anyone here,” he swore “Three inches, get in now before I come, cut the three inches off” I threatened, only to see him cover his private area with both hands, causing me to burst into laughter. The flagger had gone to stand at the center of the track and all the racers were ready with their cars already in place. I frowned and yelled at Noel,“Get your fucking ass into this car now before I shoot the hell out of ya!” Before I completed my statement, Noel had slipped into the

    Kira’s POVI checked my wristwatch for what had to be the fiftieth time in the last ten minutes.Any second now.Trisha would come bursting through those classroom doors, ponytail bouncing, cheeks flushed, her little feet thumping excitedly against the polished floors.She’d scream “Mommy!” like we hadn’t seen each other in years, threw herself into my arms, and talked a mile a minute about every crayon, cupcake, and classmate she encountered.I missed her.A lot."You're just being silly," Morana grumbled in my head. "It’s barely been four hours since she left. Stop being stupid."I smirked. “You miss her too.”"I do not."“You cried last night when she hugged us goodnight.”"I sneezed. Shut up."I chuckled softly, arms crossed as I leaned against the school’s outer wall, blending in with the other parents.Well, not entirely. Most of them wore business suits or yoga pants. I wore a black leather jacket over a pastel-pink sundress (thanks, Trisha), and combat boots. One mom looked at

    Kira’s POV“Where are those bloody rascals?” I snarled, my voice sharp and cold as I shoved open the reinforced door to Ashton’s office.It slammed against the wall with a satisfying bang.Ashton didn’t even flinch. He was leaning against his desk, arms crossed, like he’d been expecting this exact explosion.Probably had.“Three attacks,” I hissed. “Three. On her first day. If you think I’m going to sit here and let this slide, Ashton.. ”“You’re going to kill them, aren’t you?” he asked, calm as ever.I grinned. “Why the fuck wouldn’t I?”Because really, what kind of idiot tries to attack my daughter, inside a warded, high-security school, within hours of her arrival?The kind who doesn’t value their life. That’s who.“They were intercepted before they got close,” Ashton said, pushing off the desk. “She doesn’t know anything happened. The guards did their job.”“I don’t care,” I snapped. “She shouldn’t have been a target to begin with.”His gaze met mine, serious now. “You knew this

    (Few Weeks Later)Kira’s POV“School?” I repeated, blinking as I stared at Ashton across the kitchen table.He nodded casually, sliding my favorite coffee mug toward me like he wasn’t currently suggesting one of the biggest, scariest decisions of my life.“Yes,” he said. “I’ve done all the necessary arrangements. All that’s left now is your approval, and she’ll be in school by next week.”I curled my fingers around the warm mug but didn’t lift it.Instead, I just stared at the swirling steam like it held the answers."I don’t know, Ashton," I muttered, my voice low. "Trisha going to school with all these dangers hovering around… I’m scared. I was thinking of home-schooling her."He leaned forward, his voice soft but firm. “I know you’re scared. I am too. But she needs more than just protection. She needs normal.”I scoffed. “There’s nothing normal about our lives.”“She’s not just your daughter, Kira. She’s a child. She deserves to experience childhood.”I flinched.Damn him.He alway

    Kira's POV"You need to stop already, do you want to kill yourself?!" Ashton’s voice rang out, laced with a mix of concern and frustration as he jogged to match my pace, he was shirtless and sweaty but still managed to look annoyingly cute.I didn’t break stride. My legs were burning, my lungs on fire, but it didn’t matter. The rhythm of my feet hitting the ground, the pounding of my heart, the rush of wind in my face, it helped drown out the thoughts.After I put Trisha to sleep, I couldn’t shut my brain off. It kept replaying the damn attack over and over, the way I’d felt when those wolves came charging at us, and how close I’d been to losing her. The thought of her in danger... It made me sick to my stomach.I had to run. I had to burn it out of me.But no matter how much I ran, no matter how much I pushed myself, the thoughts never stopped."Stop being a stubborn idiot and listen to me!" Ashton continued, his footsteps falling in sync with mine as we circled the field. "You're no

    Kira’s POV“Hurry it up, girl! You’re delaying us!” Ashton’s voice boomed from outside my door, full of playful irritation and absolutely no sense of personal space.I stood in front of the mirror, scowling at my reflection like it had personally offended me.Because, honestly?It had.The dress I was wearing was pastel pink.Pastel. Pink.It had tiny floral embroidery, soft frills around the hem, and a stupid little ribbon around the waist.I looked like I was about to star in a cupcake commercial.“You look beautiful,” Morana cooed in my head, annoyingly smug. “And less dangerous. Be happy Ash got you a similar gown with Trisha.”I bit the inside of my cheek, hard.“Less dangerous?” I muttered under my breath. “I look like a demoted fairy godmother.”Morana laughed like this was the best thing that had happened all century. “Admit it. You don’t hate it.”“I hate it.”“You don’t.”“I do.”“You don’t.”I growled low and grabbed a leather belt, cinching it at my waist just to feel some

    Kira’s POVThings have been going well...too well.So well, I’m starting to get nervous.It’s that quiet-before-the-storm kind of feeling that creeps in when you least expect it. The kind that whispers, "Brace yourself, it won’t last."But I refused to let that fear take over. Not today.Today was for Trisha.I pushed the thoughts aside and rolled out of bed, stripping off my shirt as I made my way to the bathroom. The cool air kissed my bare skin, goosebumps rising as I stepped onto the tiled floor.Today was Trisha’s day. Her rules. Her smiles.And I planned on making every second count.Even if her idea of “fun” meant subjecting myself to glitter slime, rainbow pancakes, and some god-awful children’s movie with way too many musical numbers.As the water turned hot, steam filled the room. I stepped under the showerhead and let the heat soak into my skin, muscles relaxing as I tilted my head back."She deserves this," I whispered to myself. "She deserves everything."“Ash is coming a

    Kira’s POV "Morgan Lycan?" I repeated, my voice barely above a whisper. The words felt foreign, unreal, yet they echoed in my bones like they had always been a part of me. I narrowed my eyes at the old witch...though calling her "old" felt ridiculous. She looked no older than a teenager, her skin smooth, her features delicate and flawless. But I could feel the ancient energy pulsing from her. She had lived for centuries. And she knew things. Things about me. "Yes," the witch confirmed, folding her hands in front of her. "Your kind were believed to have gone extinct long ago. But... Well, it seems you survived what wiped out your entire clan. Which is strange because the force that eradicated them made sure no one was left alive." I exhaled sharply, my hands balling into fists. I was finally learning about my origins. I should be thrilled. I should feel something. But all I felt was...hollow. Like I had just opened a door to a past I wasn’t sure I wanted to wal

    Kira’s POV"Mom! Faster... he's gonna win!" Trisha squealed with laughter, her tiny voice ringing through the air as she bounced on her feet.I huffed, pushing my legs harder as Ashton and I sprinted across the open field, the cool wind whipping against my face.Ashton was insanely fast today, his eyes gleaming with pure amusement as he shot me a cocky grin mid-run.The bastard.I had no idea who the hell he was trying to impress, but it sure as fuck wasn’t me.Still, I wasn’t about to let him win so easily."You're cheating!" I called out, my breath coming fast as I surged forward.Ashton let out a deep chuckle, barely looking winded as he kept pace ahead of me. "Cheating? Angel, I'm just naturally superior."Oh, that’s it.Mo growled in my head. "Break his legs."Tempting.I dug deep, my muscles burning as I pushed forward, tapping into a small fraction of my power.Just enough.I felt the shift in energy, the wind bending for me as I launched forward with unnatural speed, overtakin

    Christopher’s POVMy mind burned with rage and unimaginable pain as I watched the news on the massive screen in front of me.The words echoed in my ears, stabbing through my skull like a million blades."Alpha Michael...presumed dead. His fortress burned to the ground. The infamous Dark Angel, Kira, has made her first move against the men that betrayed her."The images of blackened ruins, of charred bodies, of absolute destruction flashed across the screen.Michael was gone.Kira...that fucking lowly Omega...killed my brother.Burnt him.Didn’t even leave his body for us to bury.I roared, my vision bleeding red as my claws shot out, my wolf snarling inside me."That fucking bitch!" my wolf seethed, his voice dripping with pure hatred. "She didn’t just kill him, she erased him! She humiliated him! She tore apart everything we built!"A sharp crack echoed through the room as I kicked the coffee table, sending it flying against the wall. It shattered into useless pieces, much like the c
