Alessandra BenjaminKiara was back in her human form standing by the Oak tree, waiting for someone. I did not know who helped her.And then a man came out of the dark shadows making me gasp.“Noah!” I fell to my knees, “King Noah!” I bowed my head in respect. Kiara was busy dressing up.“Please stand up. I am NOT king Noah.” He then handed over a small bottle to Kiara, “Rub this oil on your bodies. It will make you scentless. Instead of taking this passage, you need to go through dense forests.”He was talking to Kiara and I was still on my knees looking at him open-mouthed. He looked exactly like King Noah except…Except for his eyes. His eyes were blue! Not golden!“Who are you?” My voice was too low to be heard but unexpectedly both of them did. He came forward and helped me up gently.“This is not the time, Alessandra. I swear I will tell you people everything. But not now. The moment Noah James will learn that you two are missing. The first thing he would do is to create havoc.”

Noah JamesWe were standing at the mouth of the Redrian passage. The minute I learned that Kiara and Alessandra disappeared I had called back most of our army from the north.Only a group was left on the border under Ashley’s authority. I had been teleporting myself like a madman just to meet Alessandra. Not because I wanted to stop her but because I just wanted to let her know that I loved her and could give my life for her.Alessandra! My mate. You are the bane of my existence, sweetheart.“Are you able to teleport yourself to the Al Akira palace, Noah?” Father asked me standing there with his hands resting on his hips.“Not without a location, father. Once I will get the directions I can easily go in and out of their rooms.”Asher wanted to get inside blindly without any planning but we stopped him. Along with Patricia, we wanted him to be in one piece for the sake of my sister.Nobody told about this new discovery to Talia. She was still unaware that we were headed south.I could

Noah James “Mate! Mine!” the minute those words left her mouth was the moment of total bliss for me. I could see confusion, disbelief, and surprise crossing her face. Near the medical wing entrance, I could spot Emma. Her hand was covering the lower half of her face. Lucas and Dr. Richard behind her looked funny with their mouths hung open. Or should I say wide open? Alessandra seemed to go numb to this startling revelation. Standing there looking into my eyes, not so sure what to do. This was the time. This was the time I was supposed to go to her and tell her something I should have done a long time back. Taking small steps I started approaching her and stopped at an arm’s distance. Her hair and eyes were glowing. It was a moonless night but who needed a moon when your mate was so beautiful that she could make the place glow, just by her sheer presence? “You knew?” Before I could say anything, she muttered. There was a hush fallen upon all the werewolves standing there. When

KiaraI must be five years old when I went to the big tree located near the forest region inside the palace. Nobody knew which tree was it. The only thing we knew, was, that it was there even before our forefathers. I noticed Noah, Asher, and Lucas sitting at the top while Talia was playing with her dolls near the tree trunk on the ground.“T! I want to climb on it.” I was least attracted to those beautiful dolls. Forgetting them momentarily, Talia immediately held me from behind to stop me.“Are you crazy, Kiara? You might fall down and hurt yourself.” But I was Kiara. The stubborn one. When I kept requesting her, she looked up to the three handsome boys who were laughing their heads out on Goddess knew what.“Guys! I need help. Please pull her up!” Three of them seemed irritated by the demand.“She must be out of her mind. Ask her to stop pestering us with her unreasonable demands.” That was Lucas. Like me, he was also an outsider. Not a royal by blood. I did not know why he thought

KiaraWe both were sitting under the midnight velvety sky, which was unusually full of shining stars.I gazed at those bright friends of the moon. The beautiful pattern of those little lights around the blood moon seemed like they were there to welcome someone.The blood moon had a pink tinge tonight.Alessandra was dying to go back to her previous pack house before this night. She even pleaded me to help her. I did not know what changed her mind.First, she was adamant, and then she came after me for Patricia.Thinking of her, I kept observing the moon. For me, the moon had always been a symbol of hope, comfort, and romance.Since childhood, I had been a fan of Blood Moon. Other she-wolves used to find it creepy. For me it was a symbol of love. Every year on Blood Moon night I used to remind myself that I was a step closer to Noah James.Tonight he slipped further away from me. Forever!He was no more mine. I didn't know what the next night will bring for me. There were so many sleep
