KEIRA:The pack was gloomy. Not once did I see someone laughing or smiling which was not the usual scenario. Everyone was grieving the sudden passing of Alpha John. Though we kind of expected that this would happen. That he would die, but I never thought that this would be this soon.I was not prepared. No one was prepared. I oversaw all the preparations including the food of everyone who would visit the pack to pay their respects. Including the alphas and betas from the neighboring pack.This was the final day that I would be seeing Alpha John's face and tomorrow, he would be buried where Rei and his wife had rested their final place. I was hoping that Lennox would do his duty as the only living child of the previous alpha. To be with us. But I waited in vain. Still no message from him."Is he even still alive?" I asked out of the blue. Tate and I were sitting opposite each other. Only a few had managed to stay awake at this hour. The others were already going to their rooms t

KEIRA:The following morning, I called the pack for a meeting. Among the crowd, I looked for Tate, but he was not there.I bit the inside of my cheeks.It was only the charlie and the delta standing next to me. “Where is the beta?” I asked the delta.“Luna. He was already informed of this meeting. He said that he will join us if he is already available.”“Do you know what made him busy?”“My apologies, Luna. But I don’t know. Do you want me to call him using the mind link?”I shook my head. “No. It’s okay.”I will wait for him. For a few minutes. He still did not come. Maybe he already knew the reason why I called for a pack of meetings and chose not to come here. My heart clenched. It would be better if the beta was here. He gave me the strength to face the pack. However, regardless if the beta was here or not, the meeting will push through. As I scanned their faces as they waited for me to talk. The majority of the pack was there except for some warriors on patrol of our territ

ALPHA LENNOX:"Win her back? After everything?" The beta laughed. His face turned into a blank emotion. "Why, alpha? Did something hit you in the head? No offense, but winning her back after everything you did to her?" Shame flooded my senses.Did I even make her smile? All that I was good at was hurting her. Directly and indirectly.“What happened when you were gone, Alpha Lennox? What happened to Miss Zoe? You went to Dragon Pack. That pack was considered to be the most mysterious of all. The alpha never allowed any outsiders to enter their pack unless given permission. Technically, there was little knowledge about that pack and some even considered it as if it was a legend.”Images of what happened back there resurfaced. As fast as I could, I blocked those memories. Those were no longer necessary. Whatever happened there, I vowed to Zoe that it would stay there. Or something would happen…I closed my eyes as worry and sorrow washed over my heart. In the end, I could not do anyth

KEIRA:Lennox. My knees almost give out at the sight of him.A few months had passed, yet I still felt the same towards him. The fast beating of my heart. The drying of my mouth. The curling of my toes. After a few months of not seeing each other. After a few months of having him in my dreams. After a few months of asking myself whether he was fine or not, he was finally standing right in front of me to answer those damn questions which made me wide awake.Everything was already in my head. The questions, I mean. However, no words managed to come out of my mouth. It was only at the tip of my mouth. I was only standing there, silently appreciating this man. Like a fool. After what he ghosted you? Keira. Where are you putting your brain? He became leaner as if he was on a diet. He looked mature and tired. From what? From searching Zoe?That reminded me of someone. Zoe. Where could that woman be? Did they reconcile?“Done checking me out?” Alpha Lennox asked, cocking his eyebrows.

KEIRA:The moment I entered the car, Lennox's scent caught me off guard. Dang. Not being able to see him for a couple of months made me realize his scent was one of the things I missed about him."Nice car," I announced. Beaming, he asked, "You like it? I can give it to you, love."My eyes widened. He made me realize that there was a great distance between him and me in terms of finances. He was a billionaire while I was dirt poor. Raising my eyebrows, I asked, "Why would you give it to me?"Lennox shrugged his shoulders. "Don't know. You said you liked it. You know how to drive.""A little.""You have your license. If you want this, I will give it to you. Besides, anything I own is already yours, love."Lennox. Why are you seriously tempting me right now? I might be tempted to ask for the car from you."No."I grabbed my seatbelt and before I could wrap it around my body, Lennox said, "Allow me, love.He just grabbed my seatbelt and buckled it. I had to stop myself from sniffing hi
