“Paul’s pregnant wife…Martha.”The sound of the name alone drained the blood away from Kiara’s face. ‘I told you; there’s no point in telling her since she won’t agree to come,’ Cian scolded his wolf, Fionn, before continuing to speak to Kiara. “It’s ok. I understand perfectly if you can’t come. I will make sure alpha Lucas doesn’t know about it and I’ll speak to…”“No, it’s fine… I can handle being around her, besides… it was just a stupid kiss…. I’m sure she’s probably forgotten about it by now.” Of course, she would, she’s expecting a baby, Kiara would be the least of Martha’s problems now. Cian didn’t miss the way her voice stuttered. “Are you sure? I mean…”“No, seriously, its fine. I can’t keep running aw

He let go of her mouth for a while for them to catch their breaths, none of them believing what had just happened, neither did they understand it. The only thing they were sure of was how much more they wanted of each other, he craved her as much as she craved him. The warmth of Kiara's body had him breathe heavily but slowly, he coddled her like she never knew she needed to be coddled, impossibly gentle and present in it all.As he inhaled her delicious scent, he could feel his member begin to kick between his legs. He leaned in again and kissed her deep on the mouth, the taste of his tongue was everything she didn’t know she wished for. Her hands entwined him and pulled his body even closer, their lips pressed against each other until it was only two naked bodies locked together in motion on the tent ground. Cian felt his member go stiff as her rock-hard nipples pressed into his chest, as her icy breath blew gently into his ear, he then pressed a finger into her

“Why have you been avoiding me, Kiara?”She doesn’t have an answer to that question, she only responded with a blank face while her thoughts continued in her head. Why didn’t she see him on time?  How easy it would have been for her to escape from this situation, but now she is trapped, with no other choice than to face him. She does not want to be here now, she’s not ready to face him, not after all that’s happened between them. Cian saw her expression, and held concern for her in his eyes. He let go of her hand and continued speaking to her softly, letting out a sigh first. “Alpha Lucas told me to relieve you of your assignments this morning. He says you’ve been facing some challenges.” Kiara held her gaze down, she didn’t feel like talking about this now, especially not with the man that caused her to feel like this. Cian continued speaking not withstanding her silence. 

‘You're in love with him!!!’ This can’t be happening, it wasn’t supposed to get to this point, the mate bond was one thing, love was another, but even though the mate bond was stronger, it didn’t come from her heart, but love did.  Ava gasped, she had never felt love before, it was such an exciting feeling she regretted that she almost didn't want it to go away, the reason why it was almost was because these feelings in her heart, were for the last person she ought to feel for, the one who should be her number one enemy, her kidnapper, her abductor, the one took her away from her responsibilities, he took her, he took her wolf and now he’s done the worst of all; he’s taken her heart.  This is not good, it’s not good at all because she doesn’t want to leave now when she ought to, if word got out that the moonlight pack’s supposed Luna was here instead of fulfilling her responsibilities, it would not be good at all for Ray because everyone would e

***TWO WEEKS LATER***“Psst… hey did you hear the rumors circulating round?”“They aren’t rumors Kain, sadly they are true. The messenger even delivered the news round the territories same time it happened.”“But how come?”“No one knows, maybe the moon goddess’s protection has left that pack or something, so much bad luck going on over there.”“I feel so sorry for them though, the moonlighters, losing their future queen first and then losing their alpha about a month later. It must be devastating for the leadership.”“Let’s just hope that they appoint a new alpha on time before those rogues show their ugly face.”“They already have one appointed, I heard the beta is taking over since the late alpha bears no offspring.”“The beta? Well, that’s good then, just hope that he’ll be able to take up the responsibility. The w
