Kira's POV Something inside me snapped. The calm, controlled exterior I had been struggling to maintain shattered into a thousand pieces. I lunged at Lance with insane speed, my hand grabbing the knife from the table. "You think you can hurt me?" I hissed, slashing the knife across his face. Blood sprayed, and he screamed, stumbling back, his hands flying to his cheek in shock and pain. Watching the blood ooze from the cut delighted me... It was a mistake on my part to think that I'll relate calmly with these fools, they're not fucking worth it! The room had already erupted into chaos as most of them moved far away from me, but I didnโt care. I could only see Lance, his eyes wide with shock and pain. "You think you can control me, huh?" I sped towards him and slashed at him again, this time cutting deep into his arm. "You think you can break me?" Another cut, this one across his chest and more blood gushed out. I speed up and strike him so fast that he didn't even see me comi
Ashton's POVThere's never a day in this mansion that there wasn't a drama or another. I was still out when I received a call from Lance, the way he bragged and laughed out loud saying Kira would soon be out of this house, made me curious to know why he had made that statement. I have come to believe that the girl was more than just a girl, she's extraordinary with supernatural strength because how does she always end up the victor even when at the beginning it was as if her world was about to end? It was first from the club where I heard she took over in one night, to the companies, the properties at almost every part of the world, the family mansion, the casinos and she was even dragged to court. The court case went in her favor, the death of Richard was long forgotten and Monica hasn't been heard of since she was taken away by the police. Kira was unstoppable and untouchable so hearing Lance's words over the phone made me really wonder what exactly they had in mind this time. Ca
Kiraโs POVโKira, youโre making a huge mistake,โ Denver stated walking closer to me. He had been quiet all these while even when I was dealing with Lance, hearing him speak right now made me certain that this was actually a huge blow to all of them.โNo darling, actually, this is one of the best decisions I have ever made. Now, Iโm beginning to wonder why I havenโt done this since the beginning. I just said it now and I could already feel the peace in my heart,โ my voice filled with relief.Ashtonโs gaze remained on me; he was staring at me intensely like he was searching within my soul. Or does he think he wasnโt included?โYou cannot do this to us!โ Miraโs voice was sharper than it should have been, even though I could still hear the trembling in them,โRaise your voice one more time and you wonโt be any different from the man on the ground,โ I threatened. I wasnโt going to take nonsense from anybody anymore.Because I chose to dine with them, one of them had slapped me, the audacit
KIRAโS POVโMr Ashtonโ, I finally moved my eyes from his naked inked chest to his face, โWhat do I owe this surprise visit?โ My eyes are trying to stay focused on his and not his naked chest.Only he can be crazy as not to knock on my door before entering, he's an asshole in every aspect and I hate to love it. His eyes scanned me and I couldn't ignore the tingling sensation that suddenly enveloped me but he would never know... I'm pretty good at hiding what I feel now. "Don't make me ask twice Mr. Ashton." โI noticed Denver was here a while agoโ he stepped further into the room, then he kicked the door closed with one of his legs. โYes, Denver was here. I didnโt know you had changed profession and is now a spyโ I smiled. My hands on my knees, my legs crossed and my eyes staring squarely at him with my head a bit raised."When it comes to you, I've become a lot of things." He smiled and despite not wanting to play his game, despite wanting to kick his ass out of my room like Denver
KIRA'S POV. "You're looking dangerously delicious." I chuckled, moving my hand to touch myself and his eyes followed my every move, they were burning with lust and defiance. I climbed on top of him, straddling his hips. His cock, still wet from my mouth, pressed against my entrance. I teased him, grinding against him without letting him in, watching his frustration grow."Fuck, Kira. Just take it," he groaned, his hands gripping the sheets.I leaned down, my lips brushing against his ear. "Not yet, darling. I need you to beg for it."He growled, his hips bucking up to meet mine, but I held my ground, keeping him right at the edge. His frustration was strangely arousing, and it fueled my desire to dominate him further."Let me in or let me fucking take control, you crazy bitch!" he huffed, and I slapped him across the face, hard enough to leave a red mark but not to truly hurt him."Beg me, Ashton. Beg me to wrap my hands around your neck and lower my wet hole onto your hard, throbbin
KIRA'S POV. He moved so fast that I found myself pinned against the cold tiles, caged by his naked form. "Are you insane? Let me go this instant!" I ordered, but a devilish grin spread across his face.This crazy man!"Now I'm gonna show you how much you need me by your side, how much you will want to keep me. You're such a silly bitch, and I'm gonna show you who this cunt belongs to," he smirked, and despite the anger his words brought, the desire he ignited in me was undeniable.His hand gripped my wrists, pinning them above my head against the cold wall. His other hand roughly groped my breast, his thumb flicking over my nipple, sending jolts of pleasure through me. I struggled against his hold, but his strength was too much which was surprising or was I drunk in lust? "You're mine, Kira... Mine to destroy," he growled, his voice filled with dark promise.His mouth descended on my neck, sucking and biting, leaving marks that would remind me of this moment. His free hand slid down
KIRA'S POV. "Oh, I finally got your interest now huh?" He asked and I just scoffed, my eyes seizing his naked form and I gulped down the rising lust. "Shut your stupid mouth and go get dressed before stating your offer." I snapped, turning my head to search for his trouser but I sighed when I saw the condition of his pants, they weren't in good shape and it was all thanks to my impatience. "You see your job there darling, so you'll have to get comfortable seeing me naked while we have some good conversation." His voice grated on my nerves and I thought of a possible solution."I'm not interested in seeing you naked." With that, I moved towards the wardrobe, grabbed one of my big towels and moved back to him. Flinging it at him, I ordered, "cover yourself with that and talk, I need to eat and get some sleep." "It's good to see how badly my body is affecting you, sweetheart.""You're an asshole, a total waste of space, say what you wanna say or I'll call my security on you." I thr
Ashton's POVWith a wide grin, I strolled out of Kira's room with the towel still wrapped around my waist and enjoying the scent of her still wrapped around me. My mind and thoughts were clouded by what had just transpired between the both of us. I had seen it coming but who would have thought I could get this much from an angry woman? Even the angry Kira cannot refuse my cock. I look forward to having more of herโฆ she's different, she fuels my monster and I love that. How can I let such a woman who sees the fire in my eyes add fuels to it and then swim in it. Many women are afraid of me because of my nature. I hide so much from them but with Kira, I unleash myself and she's discovering more. She stole my inheritance, she should have her fun, play her game and I'll be there to watch her, learn her weakness and strike her back. Funnily, I had thought I would be able to pin her down and make her change her mind because of sex but the girl is determined. Causing me to wonder what exac
(Few Weeks Later)Kiraโs POVโSchool?โ I repeated, blinking as I stared at Ashton across the kitchen table.He nodded casually, sliding my favorite coffee mug toward me like he wasnโt currently suggesting one of the biggest, scariest decisions of my life.โYes,โ he said. โIโve done all the necessary arrangements. All thatโs left now is your approval, and sheโll be in school by next week.โI curled my fingers around the warm mug but didnโt lift it.Instead, I just stared at the swirling steam like it held the answers."I donโt know, Ashton," I muttered, my voice low. "Trisha going to school with all these dangers hovering aroundโฆ Iโm scared. I was thinking of home-schooling her."He leaned forward, his voice soft but firm. โI know youโre scared. I am too. But she needs more than just protection. She needs normal.โI scoffed. โThereโs nothing normal about our lives.โโSheโs not just your daughter, Kira. Sheโs a child. She deserves to experience childhood.โI flinched.Damn him.He alway
Kira's POV"You need to stop already, do you want to kill yourself?!" Ashtonโs 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 didnโt break stride. My legs were burning, my lungs on fire, but it didnโt 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 couldnโt shut my brain off. It kept replaying the damn attack over and over, the way Iโd felt when those wolves came charging at us, and how close Iโd 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
Kiraโs POVโHurry it up, girl! Youโre delaying us!โ Ashtonโs 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.โYou look beautiful,โ Morana cooed in my head, annoyingly smug. โAnd less dangerous. Be happy Ash got you a similar gown with Trisha.โI bit the inside of my cheek, hard.โLess dangerous?โ I muttered under my breath. โI look like a demoted fairy godmother.โMorana laughed like this was the best thing that had happened all century. โAdmit it. You donโt hate it.โโI hate it.โโYou donโt.โโI do.โโYou donโt.โI growled low and grabbed a leather belt, cinching it at my waist just to feel some
Kiraโs POVThings have been going well...too well.So well, Iโm starting to get nervous.Itโs that quiet-before-the-storm kind of feeling that creeps in when you least expect it. The kind that whispers, "Brace yourself, it wonโt 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 Trishaโs day. Her rules. Her smiles.And I planned on making every second count.Even if her idea of โfunโ meant subjecting myself to glitter slime, rainbow pancakes, and some god-awful childrenโs 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."โAsh is coming a
Kiraโs 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 wasnโt sure I wanted to wal
Kiraโs 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 wasnโt me.Still, I wasnโt 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, thatโs 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
Christopherโs 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.Didnโt 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 didnโt 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
Kiraโs POVMy eyes were misty as I stared at my sleeping child, her tiny frame curled against the soft sheets. Each rise and fall of her chest felt like a miracle.I found it hard to believe this was real.That she was here. That I had won.For so long, I had been fighting, suffering, surviving. My life had been nothing but a cruel game of betrayal and bloodshed, but nowโฆ I had her.I had one piece of my heart back.A shaky breath left my lips as I brushed my fingers through her hair. She looked peaceful...softer than I had ever seen her. But beneath that frail exterior was something fierce. She had endured so much, yet she was still here.Like her mother.My lips curled into a small smile.โYouโre so strong, my love,โ I whispered. โJust like me.โA warmth surged through my chest. A fierce, burning pride.I didnโt just love my victory. I was addicted to it.I would never lose again.A soft knock on the door pulled me from my thoughts.I didnโt need to turn around to know who it was.โ
Kiraโs POVMy first strike sent Michael flying across the rooftop, his body slamming into the concrete wall with a sickening crack. The force shattered the stone behind him, dust and debris crumbling at his feet. He coughed, blood splattering onto the ground as he struggled to lift himself.I tilted my head, watching him suffer, feeling my power crackle at my fingertips. It was hungry. I was hungry."I'm gonna give you a slow death, Michael," I said, taking deliberate steps toward him. My voice was steady, but the storm inside me was anything but. "The worst death imaginable. Itโll serve as a message to your brothers..." I paused, flexing my fingers as flames sparked in my palm."โa message of the darkness I will bring into their lives."Michael groaned, rolling onto his side, his body trembling from the impact. But I wasnโt done.I wanted him on his feet. I wanted him to fight back.I raised my hand, sending another pulse of power into the ground beneath him. The rooftop shook, crack
