When Kiara was finished putting on her clothes, she was scared to go back down. She was wearing a pink dress he provided and the fact that he seemed angry at her made it worst.But regardless of the fear in her heart, she had to face him. Walking out the door, she went back to the dining table, finding that he wasn’t there. The plate he had been sharing for her was covered on her side of the table and reluctantly, she opened it up, looking down at what was inside.Two eggs, a pancake coated with syrup and folded into four, three slices of bread, sliced and fried sausages and ketchup was placed beside her plate. Kiara took a seat at the table, her mouth almost watering. It’s been so long since she’d seen so much food, she hadn’t had pancakes in a while and sausages too...the omegas barely brought her that.But then again, they weren’t obligated to. Reaching for a slice of bread, Kiara brought it to her nose, basking in the scent of it...If she could, she’d hide it for later, just in c
Zique arrived at the pack house as naked as the very day he came to this world. He had ran in the skin of his wolf through the forest in order to get to here faster and that resulted in the shredding of his clothes.It didn’t feel awkward, it felt natural, he had walked naked on this land so many times that he did not even feel shame. Entering the big, high gates that lead to the insides, he sighed, combing his dark, black hair back with his fingers. This place was like one big hotel, it consisted of plenty of rooms for the pack members to stay, but it was too crowded, which was why Zique decided against staying there.His beta and his gamma lived here though, because apparently they were too lazy to build houses of their own. He didn’t wrong them, the rooms were big and spacious, they were supposedly comfortable and they got to eat around the clock. Who wouldn’t take up such an offer? They were living for free after all.On his way, pack members passed by, Bowing their heads in greet
The journey was long, but Zique did not get tired, he made it back in less than an hour, kicking stones, redirecting branches and delving so deep in his thoughts.He thought about his pack, his curse, about an heir...but what he thought of most, was his supposedly mate. He wasn’t sure what he was to do with her. Now that the curse was no longer haunting him, was he to sink his claws into her neck?He didn’t need her anymore and her existence wasn’t important since she really had nothing to live for. He should kill her, shouldn’t he?That would probably be best.Walking through the widely open wooden gate that lead to his front door, he sighed. He wondered if Gabe fell asleep while watching her or if he had already cursed the sh*t out of her for disturbing him. He didn’t like noise and he hated corresponding with people he didn’t know. Zique didn’t know how he became friends with such a weird man, but according to the goddess, anything was possible.Twisting at the silver knob, he pus
Kiara looked up from her seat on the floor, her eyes floating to the door when steps approached it. She knew it was him, but she didn’t want to see him, not now, she didn’t want to see him ever. For the whole day she had avoided him, she walked around the yard until her feet got tired and even then she sat outside on the porch until the afternoon turned into evening. And now she was in her room, hiding in the furthest corner from the door and yet he came to disturb her. The knob on the door twisted, then the door was pushed open and in front of it stood her tormentor for the past years. “Come down for dinner.”Kiara hugged her knees and turned away from him, not uttering a word.“It’s fine if you don’t want to come, if you starve that’ll only save me from killing you myself.”He stepped away from the doorway and as he walked away, the door closed on its own accord. Kiara watched it, sighing pitifully at herself. See? She knew it, he was going to kill her, it was just a matter of time
Kiara’s shaking legs took her down the stairs fast and she headed towards the front door with even more speed. The evil alpha was distracted, she just needed to cross the borders her mother always warned her about, she just needed to move fast.There was nobody to stop her and she’d die if she stayed and even if she got caught running away. She couldn’t just sit and wait for death, not when she wanted to live.Kiara grabbed the door knob, twisting it and pulling the door open. The darkness outside caved her immediately and without hesitance she stepped off into it. Her heart was beating so hard that the beats felt like steps against her chest. She was scared, fear scourged her entirely; her mind, her body, her heart.And her fear was slowly starting to devour her. She felt like turning back, but what would she do to stop him from killing her?Begging would not help, he didn’t look like the type who could feel sympathy and she had nobody to exchange their lives for hers this time. She
Through the woods Kiara was dragged, her bare feet sore against the earth’s surface. The night gown he held onto as he pulled was torn right open, revealing everything her mother had taught her to hide.Tears...so much of them ran down her cheeks and blood tainted her chest. She was scared, especially since she didn’t know where he was taking her. It wasn’t anywhere nice, it didn’t take a fool to know that, the anger in his eyes was so obvious, even in the darkness that reigned around them.And because of that, Kiara’s legs wouldn’t stop quivering, her lips too. She shouldn’t have provoked him, she shouldn’t have stepped foot pass the boundary he set. She should’ve listen to him and not her heart, she should’ve...she should’ve just stayed.A sob climbed up her throat, escaping through her mouth and somehow it caught his attention. “Shut up, shut the f*ck up this instant!”Kiara stiffened, her lips pursing as she tried to hold in her cries.“Everything that has been happening is becaus
Zique marched to the back of the pack house where the elders stayed and he didn’t even greet them before he started to speak.There were five of them in total seated on the porch, none of them the one he wanted to speak to. “Where is Elder Jacob?”“He’s...”The door to the inside was pulled open, revealing the man Zique came to see. “I’m here.”“May I have a word?”The man opened the door wider, his walking stick peeking through even before his head. He didn’t seem scared of Zique despite the anger that was oozing out of him.Slowly he made his way outside, leading Zique away from the other elders before starting to speak. “I presume you’re here because of the curse I revealed to you years back?”“Yes, you are right. I found my mate, I even marked her...why is it that the curse isn’t gone?”“You’ve found her, but does she even want to stay? I know who your mate is, I dreamt of her last night and I knew I’d be seeing you today. You thought the curse of the goddess would be so easy to b
Kiara sat in the corner of the room, the blanket draped tightly around her as she looked around.Her body was still shaking and even now fear consumed her. When the alpha got back, he’d surely kill her...she didn’t have to ask anybody, she could tell on her own.Gabe, the man who had offered her the blanket was still here and the other one was now seated at the edge of the bed. They had spoken of things that Kiara did not understand, but not once had they disrespected her.They kept looking at her with eyes that held concern. They were worried about something and it wasn’t just her wellbeing. She could see it in their stare, something wasn’t right and perhaps she was the very reason.Holding the blanket tighter, Kiara looked away from them. She felt uncomfortable, the fact that they had seen her in such a situation made her feel ashamed. If it weren’t for Gabe, the alpha would’ve probably murdered her already and if it weren’t for the other guy’s hospitality, she’d still be outside an
