Chapter 10

Killian POV

The journey to the Crescent Moon pack felt like a hazy blur, and I couldn’t focus on anything. My mind was trapped in a loop, replaying the same scene over and over like a glitchy film reel.

My head feels clouded, and nothing is making any sense right now. It’s almost as if I’m listening to everything through a thick glass.

I’ve run my fingers through my hair a thousand times and even now. Alejandro and Austin were silent beside me. The whole ride they had exchanged each other’s side glances and I knew they were definitely talking through mind-link.

I couldn’t hold back my frustration any longer. “For f uck’s sake, just say whatever you both wanted to say out loud. Because if you both keep staring at each other or talking through a mind link, I might throw both of you out of my car,” I grumbled irritably, my patience wearing thin..

Alejandro is my best friend. We practically grew up together. My father was always busy giving his pack his loyalty, and when my mother got sick and I had nowhere to find solace, Alejandro and Rihanna were the ones who stood by my side and helped me cope with when she….

And when my father thought of assigning me as the next alpha, I immediately chose him as my beta. He had always been the one to do whatever I gave him, and he never disappointed me.

On the other hand, Austin is younger than us, making him give me more respect, so he always thought before speaking to me. But he had a sweet spot for Kiara, as she was there with them when his and Lucia’s parents got killed during a rogue attack.

“Killian, don’t you think you should be listening to your mates rather than your ex- lover?” Alejandro’s voice cut through the tension.

I pinch the bridge of my nose and exhale in frustration. I let out a sigh. “Even if I agree with you and listen to my mate, it would not change the fact that I saw Kiara push Rihanna,” I retorted back.

“But there is no logical reason for Kiara to push Rihanna. Why would she do that?”

“No sh it, Sherlock, she was jealous, still thinking that what we used to have is ongoing till now. She is feeling that Rihanna is coming in between us and she is taking all the attention from me and I didn’t make her Luna,” I said the same thing that Rihanna had been saying for the past four days and till now I still couldn’t believe that. If Kiara wanted to make a fuss about it she wouldn’t be so quiet about it.

She is bold and strong, with whatever she wants she gets it with her determination. She is stubborn and persistent. But I don’t know about her jealousy though I haven’t clarified anything related to my past with Rihanna. I don’t see that I had to do that; it’s not like she loved me or I loved her. This arrangement is clear from the beginning.

“Is this Kiara’s side of the story or Rihanna’s?” Austin asked this time he was lower than usual.

“Kaira is saying the same thing- that she didn’t do that. I had asked her to apologise to Rihanna. If she had done that she should just say sorry and the matter would just end right then and there,”

“Killian I don’t really think that Kiara could hurt her out of jealousy. She is the most blessed soul I have ever come across and I knew she wouldn’t do that. It must be you have seen it differently or perhaps mistaken it,” Alejandro said.

His words still repeated in my mind. Did I interpret that scene in the wrong way? I had seen her pushing Rihanna. Even if I did she should give a genuine reason aside for only saying one thing over and over again.

And that k*ss was so sudden that I had to yell at Rihanna. I can look after her, it could be like a friend, and I made her Luna, not because I wanted something back from her, like wanting her to be with me again.

After that k*ss, I was about to go back to Kiara. I don’t find Rihanna’s company any more pleasing. My wolf was always on the edge. If I hadn’t controlled him, he would. have ripped Rihanna’s head by now for touching me without my permission. But I am still questioning why I am feeling like this. What has changed in these three years? Why don’t I find Rihanna pleased anymore?

“We are here,” Austin’s voice pulled me out of my thoughts. My Mercedes Benz stopped in front of the Crescent Moon territory gate. A guard of Crescent Moon walked towards the driver’s seat as Alejandro rolled down the window halfway.

“We are here to meet Alpha Alexander,” Alejandro declared with an authoritative edge. in his voice. His sharp, strong voice was enough to show that he belonged to the Mad Crest Pack and the position he was entitled to. However, it looks like the guard on duty was the perfect reflection of their alpha- utterly clueless, and worse insufferably foolish and dumb.

“Got an appointment with Alpha Alexander, do ya? Our alpha isn’t available to just meet anyone who shows up at the border, claiming they wanna meet him,” the other guard. hurled back, his words bathed with arrogance. I raised an eyebrow, controlling my wolf’s agitation beneath the surface.

Alejandro glanced in my direction, and I nodded my head. He lowered the window further down, and both the guards froze as if they were struck by lightning. Their eyes

widened like a saucer, as they immediately lowered their heads in respect. After all, I am the king.

“W-We are sorry Alpha King. We didn’t know that it was your car. We are sorry,” both guards bowed many times to me. “Open the gate! The king is here!” one of the guards shouted and the gate swung open for us to pass. Alejandro shifted the gear of the car, guiding the car into their territory.

“I told you to put our pack logo on the front of the car, Alejandro grumbled at Austin, his annoyance clear in his voice.
