Chapter 18

Kiara POV

We walked in the direction of the mansion, Aiden persistently refusing to leave my side. I knew he would be furious when he got to know the truth. He was ready to spark a war between us, but after some pleading, he accepted but not before having a conversation with Killian and taking me back to my pack.

I was hoping that Father wouldn’t be too upset with my decision, as this alliance was important to him, but Aiden had assured me that he would talk to him.

Entering the mansion hall, we encountered Alejandro. The moment he saw me he calmed down. He rushed to my side, checking for any sign of injury.

“I am okay, Alejandro,” I assured him, and he nodded his head before he glanced back. at my brother. I can feel the tension in the air as they glare at each other.

“We are sorry for what happened out there, Alpha Aiden. Our Alpha is going through a lot of things, and his wolf can’t control itself and gets over him. We have been searching for Alpha Eric, and many secrets unfolded during that. I hope you will cooperate with us to find the real kidnapper,” He explained, keeping his demeanour calm.

I sometimes felt Killian couldn’t do anything without Alejandro’s help. He was always. there to hide his mistakes. Ready to defend Killian and the pack.

“We will talk about this later, Beta Alejandro, because what your alpha did to my sister was not easy to forget and forgive, even if he was her mate,” Aiden snapped out at him.

“How’s Alpha Eric now?” I asked, jumping in between the heavy tension that was filling the corridor.

“He is out of danger for now, but he was being poisoned with something unknown. Eve is searching for the cure, but your and Alpha’s combined blood was the only way to save him now,” Alejandro said.

How did this happen to Alpha Eric? Who would dare to kidnap the powerful Alpha and torture him this brutally?

“Who would do such a thing to him?” Aiden asked the question which had been bugging my mind.

“We are going to look for that, Alpha Aiden,” he said before he turned his gaze to me. “But before that, Kiara, you have to give him the blood.”

Aiden scoffed at him. “You all are selfish. Didn’t you all blame my sister for poisoning that girl? And didn’t Alpha Eric assure us that she would not enter the pack? How come.

she is here?”

I looked shocked at my brother. I felt that I didn’t know anything about our marriage at all. I gulped the remaining emotions that I was feeling now. I have taken enough from everyone, and now, I will decide for my future.

“I will help,” I stated, and both of them looked at me. Aiden furrowed his brows, but I shook my

head. Alejandro took a sigh of relief.

“But before that, I need to talk to Killian,” I said.

Killian POV

“Now tell me every da mn thing you know,” I commanded both of them.

After listening to the truth, my wolf was roaring inside of me.

‘I had told you that my mate wouldn’t do such a thing. You didn’t trust her; look at what we did to our mate. How hurt and betrayed she looks. I will kill that bi tch,’ he growled in anger.

I tried to control him, reminding him that Rihanna was our childhood friend, but deep down, I too was disappointed in her.

I swung open the door of her bedroom. She was standing near the window gazing outside.

“Killian, I heard Alpha Eric returned to the pack. And I saw the fight. Are you okay?” she asked, reaching for my arm, but I pulled it away from her.

My wolf growled at her, and she immediately showed her n*eck in submission, her eyes. brimming with tears..

“Rihanna, I know the truth. I want to listen to the reason why you did this to her,” I commanded. She whimpered but that didn’t evoke any sympathy towards her. I wanted to know the truth behind her actions.

“Ki…” he shuttered.

“Rihanna, don’t test my patience. Tell me why would you do that? How can you make false allegations against Kiara?” I asked through gritted teeth.

“I am

m sorry, Killian. Please forgive me, but I did all because I still love you. I wanted to be with you.. I don’t want to go back to another pack. I wanted to stay by your side. I know you didn’t love her, I came back for you,” She cried out as she knelt in front of

me.

Her eyes were filled with regret and shame for what she had done.

“I loved you, Killian. I was wrong here to put Kiara in trouble. You know I am not a bad person, all I wanted was your love and attention,” She cried, as she kept asking for forgiveness.

my

“If you want, I will ask for Kiara’s forgiveness too, but please don’t separate me from you. I need you, Killian. I was scared that you too, just like your father, would find me as a thorn and throw me away,” she said, tears streaming down her face as she begged for forgiveness.

I sighed as I looked at her state. She must have been terrified. Unable to see her like. this, I pulled her up and gently rubbed her cheeks. She then hugged me.

“I am sorry Killian. Please forgive me,” she whispered into my chest. I hugged her back, but soon, I caught a whiff of the alluring scent of her. I looked at the door. Kiara was standing there, looking at us with betrayal-filled eyes..

“I will wait in the office,” she said and hurried out of the room. I don’t know how I would face her after what I did to her.

I walked to the office room, opening the door only to find her sitting on the couch, patiently waiting for me. The air around her felt a little different. Different from the time I had spent with her.

“Kiara..” I called out her name. She stood, taking a step closer to me. I just wanted to hold her and ask for forgiveness.

“I will help your father but I want something in return,” she calmly said, leaving my mouth hanging open.

“I want you to reject me. I want you to free me from the duties and obligations which you bound me with. I want to get freed from this unwanted marriage,”

And the moment I heard all those words from her, I lost it. My eyes turned back to the amber red. “What did you just say?”
