KEVIN’S POV My heart fluttered as I watched Kiara sleep. She looked so peaceful and calm; unlike the other times. Now that I knew the truth, I felt like crap that I hadn’t tried harder to find out the truth. How did I not see that my mate was in so much pain?“Kevin, Can we have a word?” Nivaan’s voice was bland as he beckoned me to follow outside. It was difficult to figure out if he was happy or angry by his tone.‘Let us do this.’ I encouraged myself mentally and followed him outside. I really hoped that he would at least give me a chance to prove that I could be a good mate.Clearing my throat, I said; “I know I failed big time, Nivaan… I shouldn’t have rejected her without investigating the matter. it might be difficult for you to forgive me. All I ask is that you give me a chance to prove myself. I don’t know what I would…”Nivaan burst out laugh

KIARA’S POV “Kiara, are you alright?” Adrian asked, as he sat beside me on a boulder.Keeping my gaze fixated on the blue water of the lake, I grunted in response. I didn’t really feel like talking to anyone.“There is still time you know… the unification ceremony will be held after the moon rises… Kevin asked me to give you this letter…” He said, thrusting a letter in my hand.My lips pursed into a thin line as I crumpled the paper and threw it into the lake. I just didn’t have the courage to have my heart broken again … I had accepted that Kevin and I were not meant to be together…Adrian exhaled deeply and said, “I don’t know why you decided let Kevin marry someone else but I do know how much it hurts to stay away from the one you love… if you love Kevin you should accept his proposal and crash the ceremony!”Damn! It wa

KEVIN’S POV I bit the inside of my cheek trying to stop the smile that was threatening to light up my face. I know I should be more sensitive but I had no control over what I was feeling. I felt as if I had gotten a new lease on life.The moment father left, I set out in search of Kiara. I bumped into her near the fountain. My breath caught in my throat as I looked at her.“You look so beautiful…,” I whispered placing a light kiss on her cheeks.Her eyes widened. She looked around warily and dragged me to the dungeon.“Not the most Romantic place, is it?” I said as she pulled me to sit beside her on the narrow table.“I know but I don’t want anyone to barge in on us while we are talking.”She halted for a moment. Her face flushed slightly and she chewed her lower lips before saying, “I am so sorry… I shouldn’t have slapped you…”

KEVIN’S POV The next morning when I woke up, I almost expected Kiara to have gone missing. Last night was so beautiful and fulfilling that I was afraid I had dreamt it all up. My heart started beating erratically when I saw Kiara still sleeping beside me.I leaned against my hand as I gazed at her angelic face. My heart filled with so much warmth and love that I was afraid it would burst.I removed the strands of hair from her forehead and stuck them behind her ears. She groaned as her eyes flew open. Her face flushed and she pulled the blanket over her face…It felt a bit strange to see her shy away from me. I had always thought of her as a bold woman who knew what she wanted. I pulled the sheet down and kissed her forehead.She sat up suddenly, putting a halt to my other romantic endeavors. She rubbed her eyes and said, “What is the time?”“It is just seven in the morning, why?”

KIARA’S POV Warmth flowed through me as a hand was placed on my shoulder. I didn’t have to look up to figure out that it was Kevin.I jumped to my feet and turned around so that I was facing him. My lips pursed into a thin line as I took his hand in mine. “I am so sorry, Kevin. We were a bit late… those b******s gave father the vile potion…”He rubbed the pad of his thumb against my chin and said, “Hey! Don’t worry love. Vally can help us with that…”Then he went and sat beside his father. Squeezing his hands, Kevin said in a shaking voice, “You scared me today… I don’t know what I would have done if anything had happened to you…”Kevin’s father massaged his head and said, “ You should probably move away from me… For some reason, I have this intense urge to bite someone…”“Hell No, this can&rs
