Kira's POV

A gentle knock from the door woke me up, I snapped my eyes open before checking on the time. I let out a soft sigh before looking up at the wall clock, it was 8 am.

“Shit!” Another groan escaped my lips before I knew this was all Ashton's fault. I didn't sleep on time and I slept quite exhausted.

As I got out of bed, the knock continued, because of how gentle it was, I knew it was Bella.

“Come on in, Bella” I ordered and she opened the door. Her head popped in first before her entire body.

“Good morning, ma'am Kira,”

“Hm, good morning” I answered as I picked up my phone.

“You haven't come down so I thought to check up on you” she explained and I nodded.

“That's very thoughtful of you, Bella. I had an eventful night, thank you very much”

I dialed a number and placed the phone on my ear, waiting for the person on the other end to pick up. I had a long day ahead of me.

“Hello Kira, you're missing me already?” Noel's playful voice rang through the phone but I rolled my

  • The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back!   Chapter 53: Two Psychopaths.

    Kira's POV. Ashton’s smirk was infuriating. “I didn’t pack, darling. I told you, I’m not leaving until you give me an answer.”Denver, standing beside him, looked equally smug. “We’re not going anywhere, Kira.”"You... Mr. Denver, you are standing with a man..." I paused and looked at them, thinking of what to do but the other family members were looking at me and I didn't want to see them. My gaze flicked to Bella, who was standing off to the side, clearly uncomfortable. “Bella, please make sure the rest of the Jones family finds their way out.”Bella nodded and quickly went to work, guiding the others who were cursing and yelling as they went out of the house. Ashton and Denver remained, looking at me. What had Ashton done to Denver and why are they together? I took a deep breath, trying to keep my composure. “Ashton, I don’t have time for your games. I’ve already made it clear...I don’t need you.”He took a step closer, his eyes never leaving mine. “You may not need me, but you

    (Four days later) Kira's POV. "So what do you say, Mr. Jared?" I asked the stunned looking man who was looking at me in anger and fear. "You... Evil... Fuck!" He cussed, grabbing the beautiful vase on the table and smashing it hard against the wall. I love that vase but I'll forgive him… for now. Mr. Jared is one of the Mafia's family and after some digging around, I was able to find something to nail him down and when I called him to my home on the basis of my new evidence, he had come running. It was all thanks to their late boss, Jones who kept it in some secret vault at home. I was able to get my hands on it with the help of Ashton and now... I have Mr. Jared under me, he can either oppose me and get crushed or support me and nothing would go wrong in his beautiful world. Either way, I win. He was looking at me and Ashton with pure hatred and I was sure he wanted us dead but he couldn't do that. "You're a disgrace to your blood, Ashton!" Mr. Jared roared, hot

  • The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back!   Chapter 55:A Reminder

    Kira's POVUp until now, I haven't seen a reason to regret my actions of allowing Ashton to remain in the mansion. He is even more useful than expected. His sources are top notch and his arrangements solid. Although I had doubted his capabilities so many times on different occasions, I think he is the right man for the job. This only made me wonder why he was helping me get his own throne. He has all it takes to take the throne from me, not like I'll let him do that, but he is smart. And a smart man like Ashton would be a great competition for me. We have one man down but we still have four more families to deal with. I noticed the smirk on Ashton’s face as he looked through a file, “What is it?” I dropped the file on the table with a sigh. We've been searching and I was getting really bored but he seems to have everything under control. He knew where to look and what file to pick. “I think we have found a way to get Henry’s vote” Now, that's the news I like to hear. I got up fro

  • The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back!   Chapter 56:Victor

    Kira's POVDressed in a long black jacket with fur all over, black heels, my hair tied in a ponytail, and a mask covering half of my face, I stepped down from the car. Jonas came down as well and came to stand by my side. He was also on a mask but I could tell he was scanning the area diligently as did I. We were standing in front of a casino. Finally taking my handbag from Jonas, we both began to walk towards the entrance only to be stopped by some security. “Code,” He asked and I turned to Jonas who moved towards his ear and whispered the code to him. He gave us a nod before opening the door to us. “Well done, Jonas” It wasn't every day one got to learn about the code in little time. “Thank you, ma” We were greeted by the sight of those playing games and having fun. The casino was divided into various segments, it was so large I was already thinking of having one like this or better still taking this one from the owner. The owner doesn't know of my presence here. I walked arou

    KIRA'S POVHis eyes widened in shock as he recognized me. “Kira?! What the hell are you doing here?”I leaned in close, letting my lips brush against his ear. “I came to negotiate,” I whispered, my voice dripping with seduction. “But I figured I’d do it in a way you’d appreciate.”Victor's shock quickly turned to anger. “You think you can waltz in here and seduce me into submission? You're truly insane!”I chuckled, stepping back and picking up my jacket, slowly draping it over my shoulders. “No, Victor. I don’t need to seduce you. I just need you to listen but I might end up fucking you, you're really horny for me.”He stood up, his fists clenching at his sides. “You’ve got some nerve, Kira.”“Nerve is what keeps me alive,” I replied calmly. “Now, are you ready to talk business, or should I leave and take my offer to someone else?”"I'm not in tree in following a loser like you but you do interest me, your body interest me so much and right now, all I wish to do is to strap you to my

  • The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back!   Chapter 58: Punished.

    KIRA'S POV. "I'm gonna murder that asshole soon!" I cussed as I stepped out of the car. I was pissed at myself for falling into his trap. I don't care about the sex, I'll do anything to get what I want, especially when it has to do with my kids. I'm running out of time and that's scaring me. What if after all my fights, I lose them? No. No. I won't lose them, I'll win the mafia and I'll go for them. Banging the car shut, I ignored the greetings from different directions and headed straight inside. It was late at night but when I saw the frail silhouette standing by the door, I knew it was Bella."What are you still doing up by this time?" I asked, pulling my jacket and tossing it in one direction."Welcome miss. I was waiting for you." She said with a smile and I gave her a bored look before heading towards the elevator. I need a hot bath and I need to think. Everyone has a weakness, everyone might think that Victor doesn't have any but he has and I'll dig deep and find it. I need

    Ashton's POV. "You can't do this to me." Victor said angrily, punching the laptop in front of him away and I just scoffed, looking at him with a deadly gaze and every part of me wants to kill him."Ouch, that's one of my favorite laptops but it's alright, so will I get the vote or should I expose your criminal records and family members to the public? Imagine dealing with the authorities and also trying to protect your family from your enemies, it's gonna be a rough tough one huh?" Kira asked, clearly enjoying Victor's rage. This woman... I don't know what to do with her anymore, sometimes I just wanna grab hold of her neck and squeeze the life out of her while other times, I want to protect her. I hate myself for all the shit but having mixed feelings ain't one of my favorite things. "How did you do this.. You evil bitch!" Victor cussed and I sighed, telling myself to calm down and not react, I'm gonna have his time later... I won't let him go free for fucking Kira, he doesn't get

    . Kira's POV. "How... How did she... Why the hell did you three vote for her?!" Larry fired and I just grinned, enjoying his anger. There were five powerful men in front of me and I already had three votes; Victor's, Jared's and Kenzo. Kenzo wasn't such a hard nut to crack, dude got a lot of people after him and just a few promises of protection and some little threat, he fell on my feet.Now the remaining two, Don Enzo and Damien. They're clearly surprised by the turn out, I guess they didn't expect me to get any vote. Such losers, now I just need one more vote here and I know I'll get it, no one wants to be on the losing end.I looked at Ashton who was sitting and observing the situation with keen interest. I'll have to give him a lot of credit for this result, without him, nothing would be possible.Now, I needed just one more vote. Don Enzo and Damien were the last two standing against me, their faces twisted in surprise and disbelief. They hadn't expected me to secure any vote

  • The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back!   Chapter 139: The Ache

    Kira’s POVMy whole damn body was thrumming with need.Not just a passing wave of heat...no. This was a full-body ache that pulsed beneath my skin like fire licking through my veins. My thighs clenched on instinct, and I hated it. Hated how weak it made me feel. Hated how this morning's little… incident had wrecked my entire internal system.One look. One growl. One whisper of “shoot if you can,” and now I was sitting in the middle of a boring, gray-as-hell meeting, grinding my teeth and silently begging for the clock to move faster.Damn Ashton.That smug bastard had no idea what he’d done. Or maybe he did. Maybe he knew exactly what he was doing when he stood there naked, all toned muscles and confidence, looking like sin and smirking like he’d won a damn war and goddess, his mouth working on me was bliss. And I let him get to me.I let him turn my morning into this...an uncontrollable storm of hormones and heat I couldn’t shake."Just allow him to mark you and all this shit will r

  • The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back!   Chapter 138: Morning Games

    Ashton’s POVThe scent of freshly brewed coffee filled the air, rich, dark, and sinful. My eyes snapped open on instinct. Kira. It had to be her. No one else dared wake me up with my favorite roast unless they had a death wish ...or a death wish and a death glare, which she carried equally well.I blinked through the sunlight and found her already dressed for the day, standing by the window like a goddess in a fitted navy suit that clung to her curves and screamed danger with every line. Her hair was tied up in a sleek twist, not a strand out of place. Red lips. Smoky eyes. That gun strapped to her thigh? Pure art.“Hello, sleepyhead,” she purred, sauntering over to my side of the bed with a cocky grin. “Looks like I wrecked you last night.”She winked.I grunted, sitting up slowly and taking the mug she handed me. “Thanks,” I muttered, still trying to blink the images of last night’s chaos from my head. She was trouble. Soft, deadly, addictive trouble.“You look like shit,” she comme

  • The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back!   Chapter 137: Trust and Claws… Bound and Owned

    Kira’s POV“And you trust him enough to tutor Trisha?” Ashton asked, voice calm, too calm, the kind of calm he used right before someone got mauled.I didn’t flinch. I knew that tone, knew him.He was pissed.But trying to be polite about it.I leaned back in the armchair, swirling the champagne in my glass lazily before taking a sip. “Yeah, I trust him. Enough, at least.”Ashton’s jaw flexed. His eyes hadn’t left me once since I’d finished explaining everything. The kidnapping. The rescue. The healing. The werewolf reveal. And finally… the part where I decided to make the walking mystery our daughter’s personal tutor.“I’ve run every kind of scan on him,” I added, keeping my tone light. “Magical, physical, blood lineage, you name it. He passed them all. Even his memories were clean. No ties to the brothers. No curses. No shady backdoor deals with witches or warlocks. Just a regular lone wolf trying to live a boring life teaching about ancient wars.”Ashton didn’t blink.I pressed on.

  • The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back!   Chapter 136: Fractures and Facts

    Kira’s POV"Well, he's telling the truth, ma’am," Jonas reported, his voice crisp as he tucked the clipboard under his arm and stepped back. “His ID checks out. Staff records confirm he’s been here for years. No known criminal affiliations. And… Yes, he’s a werewolf, but he’s registered under the neutral pack treaty. Low threat level.”I exhaled through my nose, glaring at the man slumped on the infirmary bed like he personally offended me by existing. My jaw ticked as I crossed my arms, hating the way he just laid there...alive, breathing, and smugly intact despite nearly bleeding out an hour ago.Alex glanced over at me with a faint grimace, one side of his mouth twitching in what might’ve been a sarcastic smile if he wasn’t half-dead. “You always treat your heroes like this, or am I just the lucky one?”I narrowed my eyes. “You’re not a hero. You’re a man I badly want to kill.”Jonas looked like he wanted to evaporate from the tension in the room, but I waved him off. He gave me a

  • The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back!   Chapter 135: Truth or Bones

    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

  • The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back!   Chapter 134: A Lesson in Fear

    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

  • The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back!   Chapter 133: The Choice

    (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

  • The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back!   Chapter 132: Letting Him In.

    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

  • The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back!   Chapter 131: Queens In Pink.

    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
