~Kira~“Kira, wake up”I mumbled incoherent words unconsciously and turned to my side. A hand continuously pushed on my shoulders, disrupting the sleep that I think I worked hard for. I groaned in frustration and pushed it away, not wanting to be disturbed.“Kira, you need to wake up. It’s not safe here” the voice came again.That was none of my business. I wasn’t in a war zone so anywhere that isn’t in war is safe for me. Besides, I’m in a cell that my amnesia mate put me into. And I’m alone here. So what could possibly be the threat?Hold on.I wasn’t alone. There was someone with me in here. The same person who had been trying to wake me up for some time now. Slowly, I opened my eyes and tried to see who was there. The cell had gotten darker so it was probably late evening now, or even night time. I could barely see.“We need to leave immediately. I need you to follow me. I can help us escape from here”I curled back to the end of the cell, almost melting into the walls as the voic
~Kira~“It’s just me, Kira. Calm down”I didn’t want to hear the voice anymore. Neither did I want to see her. All that she was saying was rubbish and I wasn’t going to be here to listen to her. I wasn’t going back to the Crescent Pack with her either. I’d rather stay here and find out the kind of craziness that she was talking about. It was better than going back to see the two people who I trusted most in the world who ended up betraying me.“Let me go. Leave me alone!” I screamed yet again, bringing my mouth to her hands and biting down on it hard.“What the fuck! Hey! You need to wake up. It’s Xavier!”The voice registered in my brain and I stopped struggling. I opened my eyes and saw that I held Xavier in a death grip. And it wasn’t night either. It was daytime. And it looked like the sun was up in its full glory.Behind him was the omega, whom I now recognize as Alianna.“Xavier?” I whispered and took a good look at my environment.I wasn’t lying on the cold, hard, floor that I’
~Xavier~“You’re getting married? How!”I picked up the stick that was lying on a nearby wall, and whipped it around to face Jayden who had a confused expression on his face. I’d just thrown the bomb on him that I was going to get married during the next full moon, which happened to be in the next seven days, and he had been erratic since then.“I don’t know. It just happened. And honestly, I can’t wait to mark her, and make her mine” I said.“Hold on, Xavier; I’m still confused here. Who exactly are you getting married to? Because I can’t recall you telling me anything about finding a second chance mate”I swung the stick at him and he blocked it with quick defense. “That is because you did not know about it. I intentionally decided to keep you in the dark”“You lied to me about finding your mate?”“No. I kept it away from you. There's a difference. Besides, There’s no need for you to be so shocked. You have an idea of who the person is”With the stick still in my hand, I packed up s
~Kira~I was almost unable to move as I came face to face with Xavier unexpectedly. He immediately turned around as I screamed and raised his hands.“I didn’t see anything. I swear”His words prompted me into action immediately. I quickly reached for the towel that I left on the hinge of the bathroom door and wrapped myself in it.“Do you not know about knocking? Or are you too primal to adopt that action?” I muttered and walked backward toward my wardrobe to pick out a dress to wear.“I’m sorry. I didn’t think you were in. and your door was open” he replied, trying to turn around.“Don’t!” I said, stretching out my hand towards him, “Stay right where you are”“Yes ma’am, not going to move until you say so” he replied, snickering.I quickly went through my wardrobes and selected a yellow sundress. I felt like it would do well to hide my stomach which I felt was starting to show a little. To other people’s eyes though, my stomach looked normal but to me, who has had a wall flat tummy a
~Kira~I frowned as the words left his lips. He seemed not to have understood what he said because he was still admiring me.“What did you say?” I asked, wanting him to repeat whatever it was that he said.He looked at me with a paused smile on his face, “You’re gorgeous in the dress”“No” I shook my head, “I mean, what you said before that”When he continued staring at me like he didn’t understand what I was saying, I reminded him what he had said. “You said that I looked so much like someone in this dress. Who were you talking about? Who is the she?”He paused for some seconds as if realizing what had just happened. Then he laughed and drew me to him, hugging me from behind. He placed a kiss on my neck, and then nibbled on it, making me shiver a little.“That? You look like her. Like my Luna. Because that’s what you’ll be in the upcoming full moon. And I can’t wait to put my mark on you. Right here” he licked the sweet spot on my neck.I felt K
~Kira~“Well, Ali, the thing is that these few moments that I’ve spent in this pack, with Xavier, are the happiest moments of my life. I don’t even remember being so happy in my Pack. So yes; I think I really want to be Xavier’s Luna”Alianna smiled and nodded. “Then we’d better get you ready for the bonding. You’ll need to be cleansed by the oracle, and then for three days before the night of your bonding with the alpha, you’ll drink some kind of aphrodisiac”“An aphrodisiac? Why do I need to drink that?”“So that you’ll have enough stamina and urge to satisfy the alpha on your wedding night. You need to match his strength on bed”The color almost drained from my face. I didn’t think that I’d need to sleep with the alpha immediately after the bonding. Not that I hadn’t fantasized about sleeping with him. The problem was my pregnancy. How was I supposed to have sex with him and he wouldn’t notice that I was pregnant?The question gnawed at the back of my head incessantly.“Is that a t
~Kira~“She’s your mate?” Jay asked surprisingly.“His name is Jayden?” I asked, almost at the same time.Xavier turned to look at me, and then back at Jay. We both had that shocked look on our faces, but Jay recovered quicker than me. In a matter of seconds, his face was back to a neutral one.“You two know each other?” Xavier asked.“We were…” “No. we just bumped into each other on a few occasions.” Jay intercepted before I could speak. “We don’t really know each other that much. I thought she was one of the omegas that you decided to set free. Never thought that she was…you know…your mate”The both of us exchanged awkward looks. I felt even more ashamed of myself that I allowed myself to be swayed by his compliments. And of all things, he had to be Xavier’s beta. He probably might see me as a pick-me girl now, especially now that he knows that I already had a mate even while he had been trying to woo me. Kind of.“Well, I guess you now see why I call her my bit of sanity in this
~Kira~The next couple of days had me locked in my room.No, not by Xavier. I locked myself in. what I’d experienced that day left an undeletable fear in me. That was the most violent thing that I’d ever seen in my life. And to think that he could do something like that to his beta, made me start questioning my safety in the pack.Yes, I might be overacting, but I doubt there’s anyone who would see what had happened that would think otherwise. The way his eyes had changed, the way his claws extended and dug into Jay’s throat, and almost tearing out his jugular.I shivered at the thought. I still felt squeamish and nauseous whenever I remember the blood on his claws, dripping like it was water.So far the only person who had been able to get access to me was Alianna, the times that she had brought me food to eat. Xavier had tried his best to reach out to me, but I hadn’t given him space to do so.It’s less than twenty-four hours to my supposed wedding to Xavier and all that I could thi
