Kieran’s POV
Even after the sparring session had ended, I couldn't let go of the anger boiling within me. Aurora was left in my care and yet she was being treated harshly by Elias. At this moment, I started to wonder what ordeal she must have gone through when I was at the war front. Elias was too comfortable and fearless. When I saw him at the training grounds, I made sure to leave a few marks on his body, venting my anger because he was engaged to Aurora. I would have dealt him even more jabs if I knew he was so unruly. The look on her face, the anger and the dislike when she faced Elias told me I couldn't let her go into that marriage no matter what. She would never be herself again if she had to rot with Elias for life. But even though I had that desire, the elders didn't. Last night, after the ball, I made sure to consult the elders for a few minutes about Aurora’s marriage but their decision left me flabbergasted. They were all against the idea of breaking the engagement since they claimed her marriage was for a reason they refused to tell. And they didn't care whether Elias wasn't good enough for Aurora. Frustration fueled within me, angry that I didn't even know the goddamn reason why they wanted the marriage. However, I was definitely going to find out why as I would be resuming my office as the Alpha soon. Knock! Knock!! A knock resounded from the door of the large dining hall and I groaned in response. “Good day, Alpha.” The maids rushed in, carrying plates of different delicacies. I was served and quickly, I dug in, savoring the taste of the food. I had taken a few bites when I felt a bitter taste in my mouth and my chest felt hot. “Alpha, do you need something?” The maid quickly asked but I raised my hand to stop her from approaching. The hotness in my chest ran through my body and in that moment, my eyes shut tight to fight the dizzy spell that overcame me. Immediately, I knew I had been poisoned. “Shit!” I cursed, my eyes snapping up to look at the maid and I noticed she was gone. The other maids were gone too. I needed to get out of the dining hall immediately and swiftly, I rose up to my feet. However, I fell back down, feeling weak all over. And at the same time, a certain part of my body started to gain strength. Through my blurry eyes, I could see the bulge in my pants. “Haha…” I gasped, letting out a small chuckle at the realization of what was going on. Women coveted me but I had made sure to steer clear of their traps but this was unexpected. Bang! A sudden push from the door echoed and hurried footsteps resounded. My eyes caught sight of Aurora rushing toward me. “Uncle Kieran, are you alright?” She touched me, bending over me to feel my forehead. As she continued to bend over, shaking all over, my eyes stared directly at her chest and her bust area which was clad in wet-sweaty cloth and it fueled the fire within me. And when she continued to feel my body, I let out a groan, my control slipping away. “This is not good. Let’s go to your room.” She whispered, worriedly. I let her support me out of the dining hall and as my body rested lightly on hers, I saw through her wet clothes, the outline of her breasts and how they jiggled as she helped me. I couldn't take my eyes off her as we got into my room and I sat on the bed. “I will call the doctor–” “Wait!” I groaned, dreading her absence. Now, I was facing her tiny waist and I didn't stop the urge that told me to grab it. I did, pressing my fingers into the soft flesh beneath her dress. “Uncle Kieran…” She called out confusedly. “What are you doing?” She was confused, her mouth gaped open. However, her hands involuntarily went to my shoulders, holding me tightly. I took the cue to wrap my hands even more tightly around her waist and I rested my head on her torso. At that moment, I knew I wanted her. Her scent, her presence brought me comfort. “I need you. I want you, Aurora…” I whispered, looking up through the swell of her breasts. My palm slowly moved up, tracing the sides of her left breast. “Do you?” I asked. “Ye…yes…” She stuttered, her voice almost inaudible. I was holding onto the last bit of my control and I just wanted to hear her say it. “Say it louder…” I demanded, with a hard groan. “I need you, Kieran. I want you. Take me.” Her voice held certainty that I couldn't misunderstand. Swiftly, I dragged her down to my thighs, splitting her legs open while I grabbed one of her breasts through her dress. “I will give you the best night…” I whispered in her ears, as my lips found hers. ___ The next morning… A jolt from the bed, brought me awake and I felt a splitting headache with my eyes heavy and painful. With a swipe of my palm through my hair, and a shake of my head, I saw flashes of scenes from the night before. “What was that?” I gasped, as another splitting headache hit, but this time, it was much more intense. I looked down at myself to see I was butt naked and the sheets were soaked. “Oh, Goddess!!” I groaned, trying to recall what happened. At that moment, memories flooded into my mind. I saw myself tangled in the sheets with Aurora. At first, I thought I was delusional but then I recalled her screaming my name so loud while I treated her like my little girl. “Oh! Shit! What have I done?” I hurried off the bed, angry and disappointed in myself that I had gone that far with her. She slept off beside me but now she was nowhere to be found. I wanted to go look for her, to ask her how she was doing. I could receive a slap to the face, but I didn't care… I just wanted to see her. I was scrambling around for my clothes when the door opened and the echoing of steady footsteps flowed into my ears. I turned around to see a fair woman, dressed in a red dress with red lips and black wavy hair. Her smile was devilish but dainty. Her face looked familiar as well… “Hello, Alpha Kieran. It’s nice to see you again. Do you remember me?” She smiled. Of course, I did. She was my long-time fiance whom I had not seen in years.Aurora’s POVThe next day, Semion woke me up from sleep, eyes speaking volumes of how much he adored me with kisses all over me. I was swimming in the clouds. But he pulled me out of bed, straight to the bathroom to get ready to leave.“Where are we going?” I groaned, rubbing my eyes. “Back to our Pack. You have to be introduced as my Luna today.”“Wait!” I gasped, my fingers digging into his arm. “You never told me about this yesterday...”“How would I present myself before them?”I was baffled, my body already quivering. This was new to me, after all, Kieran had refused to even acknowledge our relationship. And now, it felt so surreal to have Semion ready to show me off. “You don’t have to do anything...” He chuckled, holding my chin. “They know of your existence already. You can just be yourself.”I swallowed, eyes darting but I didn't speak a word. There was no reason to stress over how the meeting was going to be. I didn’t have to bother about their perception of me and there
Aurora’s POVMy feet thudded on the hard floor, pacing all around the mansion. Ever since Semion’s call, I couldn't still. I was waiting, hoping to see him hale and hearty. The horrific words Riel had said to me while he dragged me to the Pack kept haunting me. Semion was captured and used for Selene’s wicked deeds and I? My fate was death, only waiting for Selene to dig a knife into my heart. I had been chained to a wall, stripped naked and Riel would come in almost every hour to 'see'. I had begged him desperately, hoping I could at least see Semion but he refused, with his lips curling with mockery and pure lust. I felt disgusted from deep within me, and Sienna couldn't wait to tear that bastard apart. We just needed one move, one wrong move from him and we found our escape. As always, a dishonest man like him wasn’t able to resist a woman’s allure, especially when he knew touching me was forbidden. And the moment I had him in my grasp, I didn't hesitate to slash his chest,
Semion's POV Never would I have thought Riel, my comrade in arms, would lunge at my car, baring his sharp teeth at me. However, after Selene had betrayed me so ruthlessly, I didn't think anyone else was worthy of trust.But Aurora.The minute Riel's wolf landed on my car, it sent the car flying a few meters backward, the tyres screeching on the hard floor. His wolf's unbridled arrogance was glaring, however, it was a mocking sight to me. As dust rose around the car as it came to a halt, the whole place turned silent. The Pack members waited for their Alpha to emerge, with bated breath.Even though they immediately wanted to put their hands on Riel, the traitor, they wouldn't, unless I commanded it. I wanted to dig my claws into his neck, and on his last breath, he would heavily regret why he betrayed me for some minutes of pleasure.I opened the car door, the dust dissipating. As soon as my feet landed on the floor, his wolf roared to life again, jumping at me.The side of my lips r
Semion’s POVThe wedding hall turned into a disarray, as the flames burned even brighter. Everyone scrambled for safety, but I stayed still, watching the agony Selene was in. Soon, only the elders and Kieran who had long stepped out of the moon circle were left. The news of the impure Luna would have reached every nook and cranny of the Pack.“Save me…” Selene fell to her knees as she itched at her skin, making her flesh fall off faster. I stepped forward, eyes on Kieran, “Aren’t you going to do something?”“I…” He stuttered, looking up at the elders who immediately shook their heads at him. He took a step backward.“I can’t.” My brows creased, eyes dim with a fake anger, “But you vowed to protect her! Are you just going to abandon her this way?”Kieran suddenly flared up, his face now red, “What do you want me to do? Should I risk my life for your sister’s sins?”“Who knows what she has done to be so impure and rejected by the Moon Goddess!” His words bounced off the walls of alm
Semion’s POVThe wedding procession began and I walked Selene down the aisle while the Pack members bowed and some threw flowers at her feet. Every single thing about the marriage was ethereal, the elders standing in all white at the end of the aisle, waiting to perform the sacred rites. They stood, circling the moon circle, a designated spot for the couple. But Kieran’s face was swollen as he looked like he had swallowed a frog and a small smile played on my face, lips twitching, knowing what was about to happen. When we finally reached the end, I handed her over to Kieran, who glared at me slightly but when the pack members cheered, he had no choice but to put on a fake smile, as he bent down to kiss Selene’s hand.And then when he led her into the moon circle, I took my chance. They were surrounded by the elders, standing in the moon circle where vows were sealed and couldn't be broken. “Take care of my sister, will you?” I smiled. “Anything that happens to her, from now on, wi
Semion’s POV“What are you doing?” I seethed with my teeth gritting as I desperately tried to move. Lucian wasn't responding, as if he were dead asleep. My feral wolf, always quick to act now lay dormant. Selene stepped closer, her fingers digging into the wooden doll and in that moment, it was like spikes digging into me. My insides churned with pain, and I coughed up blood. The metallic liquid dripped down my chest, the scent making my stomach churn. “Selene, what have you done?” “Brother…” She stood before me. “Don’t blame me, you brought this upon yourself!”She shook the doll slightly and I fell, right on my knees and my bones almost twisted due to the force. Never have I felt this powerless and hollow inside of me. The pain of betrayal from Selene already dug a deep hole in my heart and now Riel?“What did you promise Riel? Why would he help you?” I seethed, my eyes now blood red and strained in their sockets. “Nothing much…” She shrugged. “Riel and I have a long-standin
