Chapter 14

Kiara POV

My heart is drumming inside my chest. I had to find Killian and tell him about Alpha Eric’s condition. Aiden does not sound good. He was clearly panicking. Of Course, why wouldn’t he find an alpha of the most powerful pack this brutally tortured is something not taken so lightly. I don’t know how Killian would react to this news.

I was well aware that his relationship with his father was not in good condition. Far from the supportive or secure outlet of unconditional love as the relationship with my parents. But he was his only family…

I had asked Aiden about Alpha Eric’s condition but he was not able to tell anything. We were already in crisis with the medical ground and the doctor of our pack went to another pack and no one was there to clearly tell me about his condition.

They are already rushing here, but it would still take some time for them to reach here. I was on the stairs, my thoughts were mixed up in worry, and I paid no attention to my surroundings. When I stumbled on something rock-hard. I don’t have to look up to know whom I ran into. His scent was enough for me to know.

I was about to lose my steps. He was quick to grab me from my waist holding me otherwise I would be lying down and could have injured myself.

“Ki… “I looked up but before I could even tell him about his father’s condition. He cuts in with his angry growl.

“How could you do this, Kiara?” he growled, in disappointment and anger. I glanced past him and saw Alejandro and Austin standing there, their faces wore a mix of shock and concern. I glance up at him. There’s coldness in his eyes as he looks into mine. But this time the hatred could be seen very clearly.

“Just because I didn’t make you the Luna of the pack, you would try to kill Rihanna just to take Luna’s position..” he said with disgust dripping in his voice. But for me, I was still processing what he was talking about. Me, trying to kill Rihanna?

“I- I don’t understand Killian,” I frowned in confusion. Trying to comprehend the situation. Alejandro stood beside Killian. His eyes are somewhat guilty.

“Killian, it might be a mistake. We hadn’t…” Alejandro was quick to intervene.

“Shut up, Alejandro. This is a matter of my pack members’ safety. Rihanna is my family, and I won’t let anything happen to her, not again,” Killian words cut through the air like a knife and at that moment, something shattered inside my chest.

Am I not his family? Did I ever mean anything to him? I am his fated mate, for

goodness’ sake. When will he ever recognise my worth in his life?

“What are you talking about Killian, why would I poison her,” I asked, desperately trying to make him see the reason.

“Because she has now become Luna of the pack and you are nothing here. You are jealous of her, so you thought, let’s get her out of the way. Why would you do that to her, Kiara? She is innocent. Why can’t you just let her be here with me, Kiara? She is not destroying anything which was not here, to begin with,” He growled at my face.

His last sentence was like a dagger through my heart, a cruel blow that cut deep. I had given my all to him, and in return, I received only his cold, hatred-filled words.

The belief he held in Rihanna twisted my gut. How could he even think that I would kill someone in such a merciless and calculated manner?

By now we have gathered a crowd, the staff and some of the pack members watching in shocked disbelief at their alpha’s uncharacteristic behaviour. He had always been stern. and powerful, yes. But never cold and ruthless towards me.

All these years staying with him he didn’t lose his temper towards me. But just after the return on Rihanna’s would make him an alpha out of character.

As much as I wanted to keep my composure in front of him I couldn’t. I lost it. My anger. I will not stand here listening to all his false accusations thrown at me.

“How can you accuse me of something like this, Killian? I would never do that. I would never stoop so low for the position…” my voice broke a little, and I struggled to form sentences to invoice them to him.

“Enough! I don’t want to hear anything from you,” he cut in.

“No, you have to,” I shouted back at him. I had enough of him and his so-called friend. I will not take any more of his hatred towards me. He had pointed a finger at my character, and I will make sure that this will be the last fight we had…

“I don’t even know what you are talking about. Why would I poison Rihanna? On what grounds are you accusing me?” I implored, my voice trembling.

“We don’t need any grounds or evidence, Kiara Westwood. That silverbane is a very rare poison to find, and it was only present near the region you belong to. And you still have the guts to deny it,” Elder Simon’s vicious words cut through the air making my heart sink, his words weighing heavily upon me.

He was right in a way that the silverbane is a rare plant, found only in my region. It was the deadliest of plants, and even a tiny amount of it could be enough to kill any werewolf. But how could it get here?

“Elder Simon, I swear I didn’t do anything to your granddaughter,”

“We will find out about that. Killian, what are you doing standing there for? Search her room look for bane prove you are worthy for keeping the promise,”

At that moment, I turned to Killian, my gaze filled with desperation for him to understand, to trust me.

“Austin, search her room to look for the silver bane that Eve talked about,” He growled at Austin and the warriors. The room takes on a heavy atmosphere as he stands before me, his dark aura swirling around as a threatening reminder of who is in charge here.

But that would not budge me. I too was angry, hurt and moreover felt betrayed. It hurts to know that even after all these years I wasn’t able to win over his trust.

The warriors, however, didn’t move from their positions. And I knew they had a deep

trust in me.

“Now!” Killian’s alpha voice roared through the room, compelling them to follow his alpha command.

The warrior wasted no time and headed in the direction of our room. Suddenly, a hot hand wrapped around my arm. I looked up to see Killian looking at me without any emotions. It was insane, but even in a moment like this, the mate bond was still making me feel a spark from where his hands touched my skin.

It was sickening how the Goddess could play with our emotions like this, making us feel these sensations even in a situation like this. And I could tell that he felt it too, as he loosened his grip slightly, but only to ensure that I listened to him properly.

“She had already faced so many difficulties in the past, Kiara and I won’t let this slide if I get to know that you are behind this. Mate or not, is bigger than my pack’s safety,” by saying this he dragged me to our room.

As soon as I enter the room my belongings are tossed to the floor. Every item in that room held deep emotional meaning in my life. Though Killian never loved me, this was once our safe place. The only room in the mansion which I decorated through love.

My heart grew heavier with each passing minute as I witnessed the wreckage of the life. I had so carefully built.

The warrior tosses and turns the room upside down, but they still can’t find what they are looking for. One of the warriors came and stood in front of Killian, his face looked. down not wanting to make eye contact with me.

“Alpha, we didn’t find anything in Luna’s room,” the warrior said. Killian turned towards. me, his grip on me tightening, causing pain to shoot through me.

Chapter 11

“Tell me, Kiara, where are those da mn banes? If you tell me the truth, the punishment would be less severe in comparison to what I’ll do to you if I find out the truth myself,”

I had taken enough of him. No, not anymore.

“I didn’t have anything. I don’t even know what you are talking about Killian,”

“Rihanna…”

“Enough, Killian! Enough about her. Everything was going well before she entered our lives but now look at the mess we are in. I didn’t poison her. I would never do that. And I think the search you just did a few minutes ago should have been enough to prove to you that I am innocent,” I shouted at him.

Something flickers in those red eyes as he tries to control his alpha anger. He turns to leave the room but not before ordering the warriors to lock me inside the room.

“You can’t do this to me.” I rushed wanting to go near the bedroom door but he already locked it.

“I can, and I will. You are still not proven innocent, Kiara. Consider yourself lucky that I have shown some restraint. Otherwise, you would be locked in the silver cage in the dungeon,” he said before closing the door, leaving me alone in the room.
