KEIRA:Did I become a bitch right now? Perhaps others would think that I was. But if I don't say those words right away, when will Ace stop? My life was already complicated as it was and adding another more problem to it was already too much.I already told Lennox I wanted to focus on my studies. He was mad at my answer. Ace family...how will I say it? His mother was difficult to deal with. Extra baggage of stress.“Keira...Why would you only say right now that you two had some relationship?” he asked, his voice void of any emotions. “I asked you a lot of times, Keira. You keep on denying it. You made me look like a fool.”The other students were already looking at our directions while whispering something to their friends. They scanned my body from head to foot and never bothered to hide their disdain. “Are they arguing?”“Is that Ace’s new girl?”“Sounds like it. She’s kind of plain and...old. She is nothing compared to Miss Alyana and the rest of his girls.”“But did you see that

KEIRA:Panicked kicked it when the stranger successfully overpowered me. He was too strong for me and powerful that no matter how much I struggled, he was too damn strong.He carried me like a sack of potatoes with my head hanging upside down while I did not stop punching his back. He grunted but did not say anything anymore. Oh, gahd.I’m starting to get dizzy. “Let me go! You, asshole!” I exclaimed. “Don’t you touch my butt! I will kill you after these!” I shrieked. “Does anyone hear me? Please help!”No one responded to my call. The peaceful night swallowed my call for help. Perhaps someone heard my call, but no one was brave enough to help me.Oh, gahd. I did not want to die, yet! I still wanted to talk to Lennox and say sorry for breaking his heart. Tears swam in my eyes.I should have not said those things. If I had known I would get killed this evening, I should have agreed to conceive his child. Now, I will carry these regrets for the rest of my life. My head was spinning

KEIRA:I think I misheard Ace's words. Yeah. That must be it since why would we two be sharing a room? Except if he had other plans?That would likely be the case. Narrowing my eyes, I asked, "What the fuck are you saying again?"He winced hearing me curse. "You cursed?"I snorted and pointed my hands in front of my face. "Why? Do you think I am a saint? I do worse than cursing, Ace. I can kill anyone who poses a threat to me.""But back then at your apartment…you were shivering with—""Geez. Close your mouth."My legs did tremble. But he did not have to voice it out. It was already embarrassing enough. Anyone in their right mind would fear especially if that happened to them. "Tell me why we are sharing a room, Ace. If you are thinking another thing, don't do it."Ace blushed. "It's for…security purposes?""For? I thought this place was secured."“It is but there is no harm in making sure, Keira. It's better to double-check. You are my responsibility now. I have to make sure that y

ACE:My heart pounded like crazy. After a few years of evading this place, I was able to return to Blackriver Pack, the place where I was born. All the alpha's women gave birth here. It was one of the laws of the alpha to his pregnant women before he would sign the certificates signifying he was the father of the children. The pack were looking at me with a weird expression on their faces. Bastard or the bitch's child. The illegitimate child. The kept woman's child and a lot more to tell. The people became imaginative as I grew up. That was the name they called us. Without the alpha's knowing. My stomach knotted. My legs trembled, but I tried to act calm, especially with the guards beside me. They would laugh at me, thinking how could a powerful alpha like Alpha Bryan have a cowardly son. And then they would add, "It's because he is the son of the mistress. Illegitimate children are all weak. Why did the alpha acknowledge them?"In this pack, only the legal sons and daughters o

KEIRA:I think I will die of boredom. A few hours had already passed since Solomon left me. But he had not returned yet. I already asked the staff of the resort if they had seen him, but they shook their heads and said Solomon would return even if it would take him long hours to. It was not new, but they put their trust in the man and the man never failed them. First, it was Ace. Now, it was Solomon.I bit my fingernails. What if he was hit by a truck while he was in his wolf form? Or what if someone shot him a tranquilizer thinking he was some wild beast?Now, I was already worried for two people. I paced back and forth, barefoot. I stayed at the swimming pool area, hoping the water would clear my mind at the moment, but it did not. The pacing did not help free my mind from worrying about the two. Damn it.I felt hopeless and felt like I was a damsel in distress waiting for her knight-in-shining armor.I glanced at the clock on one of the cottages.Past six o’clock in the even
