Kiara POV

Four days later

I didn’t leave my room. I was hoping for Killian to come and talk to me and clear things out. But he never came. It was Jessica who eventually informed me that today they had. gone to the Crescent Moon Pack to settle the matter. It is most likely behind the Alpha Eric missing, Alpha Alexander was behind it. I don’t know their history but it was rumoured that Alexander hated Killian and the reason behind that is still unknown….

I secluded myself within the four walls of my room. Every moment felt like an eternity as I struggled with my thoughts. I still couldn’t get that image out of my mind. Tears welled up in my whenever the memory resurfaced. The next morning, Killian had come to make it clear that I had to apologise for my behaviour toward Rihanna.

cyes

Is he listening to himself? It was clear that I couldn’t win his trust, and I was nothing but dust in front of Rihanna. His cruel and harsh words still echoed in my head.

“I know you didn’t, do this on-purpose jealousy got over you, thinking that I and Rihanna had something in the past. But if you apologise to her, then I can forget about this,” His harsh ignorant words still rang in my ears. Apologies to that vicious woman. No. Never. He seemed to believe every word she said without questioning her actions. It was as if my feelings and concerns meant nothing in his eyes.

I wanted to make a fuss about him k*ssing her but after listening to those words I thought it would be a futile attempt. He would never feel that I was hurt by his actions.

I couldn’t bring myself to eat, my heart was breaking, stealing away any desire for food. So all those missing nights where I didn’t sleep a wink expecting him to come to me he has been sharing those nights with her? Go d knows what they were doing he didn’t mark me so I don’t feel that heart-twisting pain if he had done something intimate with her but the bond was still there and it is making my wolf feel unwanted, undesired and rejected.

‘Kiara, you need to eat. You don’t look well, and it is not about you anymore- it’s about the baby,” Lucia’s soft voice broke through my thoughts. In front of me a tray had been set on a small bed table, the food untouched. As soon as she said those words I immediately looked up at her. How did she know?

“How did you find out?” I managed to ask, my voice barely above a whisper. I struggled to hold back the tears threatening to spill over. I hadn’t talked to Killian about this yet, and I didn’t want the news to spread among the pack members before he knew. What if he no longer cared? What if he didn’t want it? There are many what-ifs and I don’t have any single answer for what-ifs.

“Alejandro told me. He asked me to take care of you. He didn’t trust anyone else here in the alpha house and what happened that night I think he did a good job to inform me of that,” she explained gently.

“But I felt very bad, Kiara, you should have told me such big news by yourself. I thought we were friends,” Lucia whispered softly and it was clear enough that this hurt her.

“I’m sorry, Lucia. I should have told you myself. It’s just… It’s a big thing, and I wanted to talk to Killian first. He doesn’t know yet that I’m carrying his pup,” I whispered in a small voice trying to reason. She smiled lightly, nodding her head as she understood my feelings. I was grateful to have her support.

“So Alpha too didn’t know and Alejandro got to know first?”

“He was with me when Eve broke the news and I told them it is best for them to let me share this news with Killian but it looks like Alejandro broke his promise I had to punish him,”

“Yes, Let’s scare him, I want to see his face when you do this to him, I like seeing him so docile in front of you,” she said and we both laughed. At least I’ve someone in here who looks after me and trusts me. Alejandro and Lucia. They both never let me down.

“Kiara, can you tell me what really happened that night? Rihanna has been telling everyone in the pack that you pushed her, painting herself as the victim, trying to gain. sympathy from the members,” she asked me as she settled beside me on the bed.

“Lucia, you know I wouldn’t do that. She fell on her own, and when I went to talk to Killian about it, it was… too late” I hesitated before ending, the pain in my chest. reappearing. I couldn’t bring myself to tell her about the betrayal I had seen- Killian k*ssing Rihanna. She continued to stare at me, waiting for me to continue. A knock at the door broke our talk. I heaved a sigh of relief that I didn’t have to tell her that.

The door opened and Eve walked inside greeting me with a warm smile, “Hello, Kiara. Since you haven’t come to the hospital to let me check you up I thought I would

pay you the visit before going to look for Rihanna,”

“Why are you visiting Rihanna?” I asked, genuinely curious.

“Oh! She mentioned that she hadn’t been feeling well for the past few days. I thought I’d check on her,” Eve replied. My brows furrowed slightly at her words. Is she ill?

“You’ve lost weight Kiara since the last time I visited you,” she said as she started examining me. “I am not very hungry,” I replied in a cut-short manner.

“You must make a concerted effort to eat more Kiara. The baby will merely drain you of additional nutrients. The baby will suffer if you do not eat,

Chapter 9

“Whose baby will suffer? Is anyone pregnant?” Rihanna’s voice suddenly echoed from the doorway of my bedroom. My heart leapt to my throat as she smoothly put on that crookedly innocent expression. I sucked in a sharp breath, mind-linking Eve not to tell her anything. We all three look at each other. Her eyes lingered on my stomach before they shifted to Lucia.

“Lucia, I thought that you didn’t even get a chance to meet your mate yet, and now you are carrying someone else’s child? Your mate wouldn’t be too thrilled after hearing this,” she chimed, a cruel amusement dancing in her voice. This is not right. If she spreads these false rumours that will tarnish Lucia’s reputation as much as I don’t want to say but I can’t let this happen. I gulped before saying.

“Don’t, Kiara. Let her think that I am pregnant. I don’t trust this bi tch, Lucia urgently mind links me.

‘How can I just let it be, Lucia? She would make fun of you in front of the entire pack. It’s not right for your future mate. And I would not let this happen.

‘No Kaira don’t,

Lucia, I understand your concern, but I am strong enough to take care of myself and old enough to know what I am doing and I won’t let her game succeed,

“I am pregnant, Rihanna,” And oh how her smile flattered for a moment, her eyes. widening in genuine surprise before she quickly masked her emotion with a practised smile.

“Well, well, congratulations then, I am happy for you,” she said sweetly, though I found. a flicker of something darker in her gaze. From her face, it is clear that she is not happy

at all.
