Kiara's POV."What is taking so much time? They are here already," The door flung open revealing Helene. One look at her and I broke into an uncontrollable fit of tears all over again.Helene has been my personal maid since I was a kid, and the chief maid as well. She was the only one who doesn't treat me like trash in the pack. She pushed me through the years and tried to protect me from everyone, including my father, as much as she could. Now that I'm being separated from her, what more could hurt the most? Her gaze lingered softly on me for a while before turning to the bunch of maids dressing me up. "I need a moment with her, excuse us please," Once they had shut the door behind them, she slowly traced her steps towards me, walking past and stood beside me, her hands gently lowered on my shoulders as she stared pitifully at me through the large dressing mirror in my room. "Wipe your tears child, it isn't the end of the world," I chuckled bitterly, more tears streaming down m

Kiara's POV.Throughout the drive to Hyde's surprisingly distant kingdom, no one said a word to anyone. The silence could be sliced effortlessly with a butter knife. We had left immediately after the rites were completed. Aside the elders, none of the pack members showed up. The smile on my father's face as Hyde led me to his carriage was unexplainable. He really wanted me out so badly. I hope that one day, his resentment towards me will be backed up with a tangible clue, there has to be more to it that meets the eye. Strangely, it was beginning to seem as though Hyde and I suffered the same faith, how could he travel such long distance to wed yet no one came with him, not even a single member of his family, or the elders of his clan, His father who had agreed to the marriage wasn't in attendance too. It was just him and few of his servants and guards. Well, his situation was understandable anyway being that there was a recent rumor about him killing his brother. Who would accompa

Kiara's POV.I was shaking in fright as I held onto him tightly, I felt him suddenly go stiff for a moment.My hands around him were slowly slipping off, he was sweating profusely making his body slippery for me to grasp. I was going to fall.Surprisingly, he raised his hands slowly upwards and wrapped them around my waist, I could swore I stopped breathing for a minute, Hyde had his hands on my waist?But then, my excitement was short lived as he carefully carried me down and made me stand on my feet.I had expected him to walk out of the house at that point, since he was almost soaked with blood, he had a cut on his forehead which was bleeding slightly.Instead , I watched him stagger to a corner of the living room and sat, his head rested on the wall, breathing heavily.I could still feel the anger boiling in him furiously. I couldn't stop wondering how someone could be so short tempered.My eyes drifted to the cut on the corner of his face, the bleeding was intensifying.I thought

Kiara's POV.What?Did he just ask me that?Am I supposed to be sleeping after the maids have taken hours to prepare me for him?"The maids... ""You should sleep, the night is long gone already." He cut me off quickly and proceeded to undo his shirt buttons. I was left bewildered, my lips slightly parted open, trying to wrap my head around what just happened.It was quite obvious from the seductive way the maids have dressed me up that I wasn't in form for sleep, even a blind person could tell. Why is he suddenly choosing to act oblivious to it? Isn't he the one who sent them to prepare me for tonight? What's going on?"Uhm..." I cleared my throat gently, deciding to speak up if he won't."The maids... They said it's time to... Uhm.. to consummate our marriage." The words felt like a heavy wood clamped against my throat, refusing to be let out. Slowly, he turned towards me, an expressionless look on his face. "Are you ready?" His next words threw me offguard. I opened my mouth t

Kiara's POV. I released the heavy breath I never knew I was holding up until we were outside of the elder's chamber."Well, that went just like I had expected." Hyde muttered behind me.I snapped my head swiftly to face him. "You knew this was going to happen?" He nodded with a small smirk. "I'm always many steps ahead of them." The level of confidence this man possesses is enviable. He really is a one man soldier like the rumors have it. "You we'rent supposed to witness that, it must have turned your stomach, my apologies." He suddenly blurted. Okay, that's really nice of him to consider my feelings, even when he should be the one hurt from all the accusations. Hold on! Did I just say accusations?Am I really beginning to make excuses for this man? Back in my pack when I never dreamt of ever ending up married to him, I believed all the rumors spread about him, but I can't say the same now, I was beginning to have a second thoughts about the rumors now. "The evening is ruined
