"I… Do you really think there is more than just friendship between me and Icarus." Kiara asked, blinking her eyes like a lost puppy.Sophia shrugged, "I don't know how to explain this girl but you just know when two people are just friends or dating. The right way to explain it would be, that you both never gave off the vibes of being just friends. Instead, you both have a sensation of tension and irresistible chemistry, the kind of vibe the couple do."Kiara did not say anything further to contribute to this topic but her words were replaying inside her head like a recorded tape. Sophia's words did not leave Kiara's mind even after she came back home. Chloe and Martha were extremely happy to have her back and had prepared a big fest for her. But even though she was surrounded by all these people, she was lost in her own thoughts…She and Icarus have been like two peas in a pod since they were 6. Seeing how close they were, the whole school speculated that they were dating. Heck, eve

Icarus had no interest in going to the party organized for him but Kiara was going to be there so he unwillingly reached the venue.As expected, the girl had come prepared. She was dressed in a peach pink gown with pinkish makeup on her face, just the way Darren liked. He had to admit that the girl who was standing in front of him looked nothing like the girl he grew up being friends with. She was someone different… someone grown up. Darren seemed to have long forgotten about the fight they had in the morning and was already in the mood to party. But of course, he hadn't forgotten anything. In fact, his mood worsened when he saw that Darren and Kiara were already getting cosy.Even though the party was organized for him, he was the only one who did not fit in. He found himself in an empty seat next to the bar; people came and wished him s happy birthday but there was nothing happy about it as his eyes were fixated on Kiara.The girl tried to cheer him up but his mood was too bad for

The whole house was lit up like a carnival just by the arrival of Darren. Even though it was close to dinner time, the kitchen was busy preparing all of his favourite food. Kiara stood at the kitchen door and watched as Martha herself prepared the dishes which Darren liked.Martha was infertile which caused her in-laws to hate her and when her husband died, she was kicked out of the family and left to starve on the streets.Moon Goddess seemed to be merciful to her as she learnt that the Luna, Mrs Vuron, was pregnant and the Alpha was looking for new staff to take care of the work around the house. That was how she got recruited into the Vuron family.The Alpha and Luna were always busy with work and were mostly out of town. So she was the one who raised both Darren and Icarus from a young age. She saw them as her own kids and gave them the same kind of love she would have given to the babies she couldn't have.Standing at the door, Kiara felt as if she was taken back to her childhood

"Alpha, is everything alright?" The principal asked in a worried tone.Icarus did not like the way this was going, he was here to have some good time. He said, "Actually, no. The way you all are acting around here is suspicious to me." "What?" The principal gaped in horror. What did he do now?Darren's face palmed himself and came forth, "No, no. My brother is kidding! We were just here to look around, we used to go to this school.""Oh, I see." The middle-aged man let out a sigh of relief. He invited all of them to look around the school. Darren was pleasantly surprised by this, he asked, "Really? We can do that?"The principal chuckled, "You all are our pack's leaders. Our school will be honoured to have you here."The three initially did not plan to go inside the school but now that they were told they could, they did not want to miss it. Darren, like a happy child, immediately rushed inside, not even waiting for Kiara and Icarus. The two looked at each other awkwardly until Icar

"Sorry for coming unannounced." The girl smiled.Icarus took the packages from her hand and said, "Come in.""Thank you." She said before dropping on the couch. She had to take a moment to catch her breath.Icarus kept the things she brought on the table and asked, "Why are you here?"When the man asked this question, the girl's mind was alarmed. She looked at the clock and realised that it was about to hit midnight.She hurriedly cleared the table and took out the cake from the box. She put the candle and lit it up right when it hit 12."Happy Birthday, Icarus." She said with a bright smile. The man froze and looked at the cake in front of him."Is this… for me?" He asked to which the girl nodded, "Yes! I made it myself."Icarus was mum for a while and kept staring at the cake. Kiara's smile started to vanish with each second he was silent. She asked, "What happened? Did you not like…"Before she could even finish her sentence, Icarus wrapped her in a hug. "I… " Kiara's whole body
