CHAPTER FIFTY-ONE KENDALL'S POINT OF VIEW The sight of his glowing eyes filled me with a primal fear, one that seemed to seep into my very bones."Declan, please," I pleaded, "You're scaring me."But he didn't seem to hear me, lost in the grip of his own rage. His fists clenched at his sides, his entire body vibrating with barely contained fury.He got up from the bed and then, in a sudden burst of movement, he lunged forward, his hands closing around my shoulders with a vice-like grip. I cried out in pain"Tell me the truth, Kendall," he snarled, his voice a low, guttural growl. "Or so help me, I'll make you regret it."Tears welled in my eyes as I stared up at him, my body trembling with fear.He shook me violently, “Tell me!" he roared, "Tell me what you know about that night!"Tears streamed down my cheeks, mingling with the fear that clenched my heart in its icy grip. I shook my head frantically, my voice choked with sobs as I pleaded for mercy.“Please, Declan….let go of me.

Chapter Fifty-threeDeclan’s POVI could sense that it was hard to remember something but the issue now was that it was very hard for me to recollect what I wanted to. I knew it was something valuable and something that was really going to help me out with this puzzle that’s been going on repeatedly in my head but I had no luck.“Does anything matter to you? You seem very bothered. Do you need anything or are you feeling sick? “I knew telling Kendall anything that’s happening to me right now I was only going to put her in a very confused and devastated state and that was the last thing I wanted anything going wrong with her or my baby.“I’m doing very well. I’m just a little bit tired right now so that’s the only thing that is on my mind. You have nothing to worry about, you know. “I said with a very convincing smile plastered on my face.I didn’t know if Kendall actually bought what I said because I did not sound that believable to myself but she better did because I did not want to

Chapter Fifty-fiveKendall’s POVI wondered where everyone went and made the whole house quiet because I was supposed to meet Kendall making lunch or something.But when I arrived at the kitchen there was no one there and the maids were the ones taking care of the meal which was so unlike other times because I was very specific about anything Declan ate.I was trying too hard to get on his good side and she was the only one in my way so far.I’ve tried everything I can to get rid of her but she just keeps on coming into his life like a leash.I mean that it wasn’t going to be so easy to get out of my way and out of the picture for good but I was willing to do anything to get him off myself even if it meant completely erasing her from the picture.She acted like she was so perfect and she was the best option for him and that did nothing but get on my nerves and make me want to strangle life out of her.I didn’t want to ask the maid where she was at first because I did not want to seem

Chapter Fifty-eightKendall’s POV“I don’t believe them,” I whispered, my voice barely a breath. “There’s something they’re not telling us.”Declan placed a comforting hand on my shoulder, “Let’s go find your father,” he said, “Maybe he can shed some light on this.”The suggestion that was once unthinkable, now seemed like the only viable option. With Declan behind me, I marched towards the corner where I’d last seen my father, his imposing figure shrouded in shadows. “Father,” I began, my voice trembling slightly. “Do you know where little sister and Mom are?”He shifted his gaze to me, his expression unreadable. There was nothing but silence between us. But before he could speak, a woman, the same head Luna who had presided over the meeting, appeared beside him.“The Luna’s are unavailable, dear,” she interjected, “They have… important matters to attend to.”Her words were a blatant lie, and the knowing glint in her eyes confirmed it. This was orchestrated, a deliberate att

CHAPTER 59 – KENDALL’S POVSunlight filtered in through the blinds, and just for a moment, I wondered how I must have looked. I had no recollection at all of the night before, and my head throbbed with my every movement. Declan was just beside me. He growled softly.“Good morning.” I said. I had long since expected his reaction, or the lack of it thereof, but it still stung every other day, waking up to see him behave this way, as if I was not at all important to him. I know that my father had given me off to him for some reason I couldn’t fathom, and even worse was the fact that I could not figure out why he hated me so much, but still…It hurt me every time to see him behave like this.He grunted and continued staring at the door as if he wanted to murder it.I reached out my hand to touch him, hopeful. He jumped off the bed and began moving around the room. I lay there in bed and admired his naked form as he moved. His muscular frame was inviting to say the least, and I could not t
