Kiara Sorde, is betrayed by her mate and Gamma's son, Kristen, when he strips her of her position and makes her a rogue, subjecting her to a cruel fate without a pack's protection. But the moon goddess offers her a second chance through Alpha Devon, a feared alpha and the leader of Akira Pack, the leading pack in the werewolf community. Kiara is however scarred and will only agree to the union on one condition, and Alpha Devon isn’t one to be given conditions.
View MoreThe sound of Devon’s hand slamming hard on the table, and the sound of it splitting and crashing to the floor instantly followed.“Leonidas,” he called out, his voice dangerously low and calm, “what is he doing here? He is neither part of the Council, nor is he needed for the query.”“He is needed for the query, he was a witness.”“Witness to a crime that never happened.Kiara gripped the edge of the table, and forced herself to remember how to breathe. Kristen, who was standing by the door a moment ago had somehow made his way beside her, and Devon, who was meant to keep her in the present was too busy losing his shit.“You neither head nor own the Council, Devon,” a new voice said, his face masked in visible annoyance. “You cannot go about making demands like we work for you.”Devon breathed out a laugh and straightened his spine, “very well then, I will make threats. If that lying piece of shit isn't sent out of here this very minute, not only will I walk out of here with my mate…”
“Are you ready?” Devon asked Kiara as they pulled up to the door, and he watched with narrowed eyes as she inhaled sharply and exhaled softly. Then she looked up at him and smiled.“I’m ready.” Devon watched her quietly for a moment longer, and once he was satisfied, he pulled her closer to himself and squeezed her waist before he held the door knob and twisted.Kiara’s brows shot up in pleasant surprise, and her eyes wandered round the room they had walked into; it was the exact opposite of what she expected the council room to look like.She expected to walk into a dark eerie room, lit up by candles only, and so silent you can hear the blood running in your veins. But she walked into something completely different. The room was brightly lit, the table stretched across the room, and on top of it were loads of different dishes and drinks. The men she expected to be big, pot-bellied and broody, weren’t. They all looked so fit, that the only giveaway that they were old men was the grey
A disapproving look registered on Devon’s face when Kiara walked out of the cell room drenched in a pool of her own sweat and smelling nothing like his mate.Kaiser went feral at the lack of her scent despite looking at her, and Devon had to do everything within his powers to hold him down. “The look in your eyes tells me she did a very good job,” Kiara whispered, whilst rubbing her left arm. She suddenly felt self-conscious and wanted to shy away.“Can I go now?” Devon pried his eyes away from Kiara to her, then shook his head.“You will be taken to Marcos’ pack after I have confirmed that you did a good job,” turning to Kiara, “let’s go.”Awkwardness and heaviness settled on Kiara’s chest as they made their way over to the car. Devon was acting different, she could feel it and it made her want to March back and ask Ketura to undo everything she did.“I’m sorry,” Devon whispered after he pulled open her door, “Kasier had a hard time adjusting to seeing your face and not smelling you
“Is there anything else she said you should do?” Devon asked as they pulled up to the jail house.Kiara thought for a while, then nodded. “She said I should make sure I don’t shift that day no matter what.”Devon's brows furrowed and he thought about that for a while, then pushed his door open and stepped out. He knew that all this has a bigger picture to it, but he couldn't quite place a finger on it yet.Pulling open her door, he helped her down. “Ketura is not a good woman, she is not even nice, and she will say and do anything to protect herself, so whatever she says to you, take it with a grain of salt.”“Why not just discard it?”“She has a twisted way of lacing the truth with lies.”Kiara's eyes narrowed and she let the words replay over and over again in her head. She only snapped out of her head when they stopped at the cell holding Ketura, and she was already standing by the door as if she was waiting for them.“I knew you’d come.”Kiara and Devon exchanged glances, then res
“You still haven't told him,” Kali reminded Kiara as soon as they dropped off at the training ground, and Kiara let her lips slowly part, allowing a gush of air to pass through.The truth is that she did try to tell him, but she had no idea how to explain to him because Kali refused to explain anything to her.“It's been two days, Kiara. The meeting is in a day, you have to tell him.”“But you haven't told me why I need to get my scent masked.”“It is to protect you, your scent is all part of the reason they requested an audience with you.”Devon, who was already marching inside, paused and frowned when he noticed he was walking alone. His eyes darted around for Kiara, and his frown deepened when he noticed her just standing and staring. He could tell she was conversing with her wolf, and he couldn't help but notice how frequent her conversations with her wolf had gotten, but most importantly, how unaware and off-guard she seemed to be whenever she was conversing with her. That was a
Devon paced around his room and made sure everything was in order, and ready for Kiara to move in.The last time she was in his office, when he made the decision to erase the strangeness between them, he didn’t expect to enjoy the date as much as he did, he didn’t expect himself to be so consumed by her that he’d move his schedule just so he could train her, and he most definitely didn’t expect to ask her to move in with him.Everything that happened was unexpected, he wanted to blame the mating bond, but he knew it was more than that.The second he asked her to move in with him, he could tell she wasn’t pleased by the idea and he instantly wanted to take it back but the words just wouldn’t leave his mouth. And to make himself feel better, he convinced himself it was for the good of them both, she needs the distance between them eradicated just as much as he does.A knock on the door snapped him out of his thoughts. He looked around once again, and once he was satisfied, he unlocked t
