Chapter 1


    Prologue-


    Kiara POV


    Their heavy footsteps pounded the ground behind me, growing closer with each passing moment. I had been running through this unfamiliar city for


    nearly two hours, desperate to shake off the wolves hot on my heels. I didn’t know why they had taken me and torn me away from my beloved


    children, but now they had left me here to die.


    I think that is what they wanted. But why after so many years? That was the question bugging my mind.


    “Keep chasing her!! Don’t let her run away... Our alpha wants her alive,” Their growls followed, shaking me with terror. For a moment I think that this


    might be my end. I would never see my pups and I would never tell him that he was the father.


    I had been looking for my pups for what felt like an age in this unfamiliar city, but no luck was found. Just when all my hope was losing, my wolf Erica


    after so many years finally talked to me giving me a daring idea—to ask help from my ex-mate, the great Alpha King, the only one who had the power


    to find my, our childrens, Erica corrected me and could bring them back to me.


    It was a difficult decision, given all the suffering my mate had caused me in the past, but for my children''s sake, I was ready to swallow my pride and


    beg for his help. I won''t forgive him for all the misery he had put me through.


    I run until I can''t run anymore, and then I find myself on the outskirts of town. The forest spreads out before me, and I know whose territory it follows.


    I''ve run by these forests before, but now I''m heading towards them. Knowing that this time it won''t be easy for me to return


    I dashed into the dark forest, the rocky terrain cutting into my bare feet as I stomped over boulders, and fallen branches. I nearly lose my footing on


    the wet ground when I turned to look behind me.


    As I ran further I could no longer hear those wolves behind me, and I realised why no one would dare to cross this forest if he wanted to see another


    sunrise. Alpha King Killian is known for his ruthlessness. He had be what he wanted but he had paid a price for it. Or was it me who paid the


    price?


    And so, there I stood, facing his pack''s imposing gate of Madcrest Pack. The moment I stepped onto their territory, guards and warriors surrounded


    me, their eyes wide with disbelief at the sight of me after six long years.


    Perhaps Rihana, their so-called luna, had filled their ears with stories of my death, but theycked the courage to challenge their alpha’s fated mate.


    Or their ex-luna who had faced betrayal here.


    With my body hurting all over and my strength fading. I still managed to make my way to the pack’s main house. The castle stood tall in front of me


    locking at me in a mocking way. I had no other cheice but to return here.


    The surroundings are still the way I left it, nothing changes. This was my second home though all those three years were not pleasant for me. Not at


    all. I have faced rejection and betrayal here.


    I fought against my fatigue, my thirst, and the aching which my body is experiencing right now, with only one thing buzzing in mind- my children


    needed me, and I would do anything to ensure their safety.


    The first person to rush out of the mansion was Beta Alejandro, his face filled with shock and longing. "Kiara... You are alive," he stammered, but still


    rushed towards me hugging me tightly. I smell the familiar scent which I used to call home.Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    Before I could ask about the Alpha King’s whereabouts, the mansion’s grand doors burst open, making us separate and I winced in anticipation of his


    anger.


    There he stood, his eyes red with his alpha''s fury, struggling to control his wolf from tearing me apart for leaving him without a word all those years


    ago. Foring back from the dead....


    As he closed the gap between us, I couldn''t help but get captivated by his familiar scent, pine and sandalwood and memories of our past together


    flooded my mind. A painful and hurtful p on my cheeks that our bond is never broken. He never epted my rejection.


    "Kiara!" he eximed,ing closer to me, and I found myself drawn into his embrace. my strength slipping away through my fingers as I copsed


    to my knees, held up by his sturdy arms.


    My head rested on his chest as my wolf, Erica purred at the contact. Finally, I still have her in me but she was not ready to surface. I miss him. We


    miss him.


    Rejection hurts and she has faced very painful things in life.


    His eyes revealed a mix of emotions, and I wanted to ask why he was looking at me this way after everything that had happened. His gaze traced the


    bruises on my face, and his eyes changed from warm chocte brown to fiery amber.


    "Who did this to you?" His voice thundered with a dangerous edge.


    I whispered, my voice barely audible, "Save them." Confusion etched his expression, but I clung to his shirt, pulling him closer to me.


    "Save your children, Killian. They need their father now more than ever,” I pleaded with what little strength I had left. And then, the world around me


    faded into blurriness and darkness as I stumbled into unconsciousness.


    Chapter 1


    Kiara POV


    “SIX YEARS AGO**


    "Arrange those flowers near the podium; they would look beautiful there,” I said to one of the staff members, and she immediately nodded her head,


    following my orders. My heart was brimming with excitement.


    Tonight marked the coronation, a


    highly anticipated event in our


    Madcrest pack. It was amomentous


    asion.asmy mate, Alpha King ?


    Killian, would finally ascend to they


    positiofrof pack leader, and would


    stancproudly beside him ashis


    mate and Luna of the packThe


    cGtonation should have bappened


    after we got married, but Alpha Eric


    put it on hold. He wanted to give his


    pack a little more of his serving.


    We were fated, married but not yet


    officially marked. Three years ago,


    my father suggested a strong


    alliance with the Madcrest pack, ~~


    particrly with Alpha King Killian:


    coulda quiteprehend his:


    decision. I was an omega, and the


    thotight of mating with the fierce,


    dominant and ruthless Alpha King


    made me feel like prey before a


    predator.


    However, former Alpha Eric of Madcrest Pack and father of Alpha King Killian assured me that I was his fated mate, the Luna of the pack, even


    without the official mating mark. The Madcrest pack members respected me in that role.


    When I first met Killian we both felt a strong pull towards each other and I couldn''t be happy about that. The moon goddess, Selene, blessed me with


    the strongest alpha in the south region. My wolf was jumping wanting te bond with him but stopped sooner than we both could imagine when I saw


    his eyes looking devoid of any feeling


    “Luna, where should we put these


    fiery lights?” Lucia asked, her whole


    body tanglec-up with the fiery lights.


    And I couldn''t help but chuckle at_<


    her. SheJs quite a girl and a friend


    whichDmade as soon as I entered


    the. pack. She was a warrior.here.


    Her high skill in the raining ground


    was the first thing that attracted me


    and we clicked right together.


    She was a skilled warrior in the pack. She is good with weapons, good is a mere word but excellent at it. But if you gave her kitchen duties or aside


    from anything rted to weapons she would be a disaster. Totally a tomboy.


    “What with you looking like a walking pole,” I teased, helping to untangle her from the lights.


    "I told you not to give me this work; it''s going to gette because of me, and Alpha would be mad," she whined like a small child.


    “Alright, let me help you," I said, and we continued working together. After checking everything to ensure it was in its right ce and order, I decided


    to take a break.


    "You should go and get ready for the coronation. You''re going to be titled as the Luna of the pack. I’m so happy for you. You deserve this, Kiara.."


    Lucia said, sitting beside me.


    I looked around the grand hall. I still thought that I could arrange it more beautifully, but I didn''t have a chance. Even though the coronation news had


    come so suddenly, I had worked hard to make everything as beautiful and perfect as possible. "I know, but there is still a lot to do right now. The


    caterer hasn''te yet and...”


    "Hey, hey. hey, rx. Don''t forget that you''ve entrusted the responsibility to Miss Smith,” she reminded me with aforting smile.


    "Oh, right. I did forget that. I wanted this event to look perfect, Lucia. And I was nervous to officially get the title," I said. I had done my duties perfectly,


    but officially dering that I would be the Luna is quite a big tag that is going to bind with my name as if being a fated mate of the only Lycan King is


    not enough


    Lucia chuckled yfully, "Oh, look at you; you resemble so much like a typical smitten wife."


    "Hey! He is my mate. I want everything to be special when he is involved." I said and rolled my eyes, a small smile tugged at my lips, but Lucia raised


    an eyebrow at me, "When you get to know your mate, you''ll understand this feeling.”


    She raised her hand in surrender as she added, "Don''t worry, Kiara. Just rx. Everything looks perfect. It’s your day too, so just go up and get


    dressed and look pretty for our alpha."


    I nodded, and after tirelessly working for three continuous days to make everything perfect, I wanted this asion to be wless. I hoped that my


    hard work in our marriage would be recognized and appreciated by him


    I don’t tirelessly work to be the perfect Luna of the pack, but also for him to recognize my effort with anything rted to him.
