Kiara POV

“Don’t worry, Kiara, I know you tried so hard to save the pack. But you have to run. You are not alone anymore, think about your child,” She said as she continued driving. We have reached half the way to the lake house.

“If the situation doesn’t settle, we will pack our things and reside in a new pack. I know a few of them, or if they didn’t accept us, we can change our documents. Don’t worry.”

But I turned deaf ears to her. How can I live with this pain that my pack faces this war only because of me? I don’t know if I can see my parents again. I don’t even get them to meet my child and they are taken away from me and I have only one solution and that is to run away?

This sudden hurricane in my life is making me feel pathetic. I couldn’t do anything. I felt like my hands were bound. I was caged in silver because I was feeling burning in my heart right now. I was shut off by my mate. I have left my pack to face the fate which I decided for myself. Could I even be able to live with these things?

The car stopped at the lake house. The screeching of ties on the road pulled me out of the thoughts. Grandma hurriedly went inside the house and started to pack her things. My things are already in the car. I stood there contemplating.

I was praying to every goddess to just help me pull me out of this unwanted situation. I was getting weaker the more I think. It is draining my energy. I was feeling like running back to the pack to fight with them, for them, even if I had to face the same fate.

The hatred for Killian was growing with each passing minute. I cursed at the moon. goddess to give me a mate who didn’t care for me, for my pack. I had given everything. to his pack. And he returned the favour to me with negligence,

The sun had set by the time we reached the lake house, and the temperature had started to drop. The chilliness in the air made me shiver. My hand went to my stomach as I closed my eyes. A tear escaped my eyes. I made up my mind that I will return to the pack.

“Grandma, wait!” I called out her name when I saw her putting the bags in the car.

“I can’t leave them to die, not now. They are my family, my pack. We have to go back there, we have to help them out,” I begged.

“Kiara, have you lost your da mn mind? If we return there, there would be no chance for you to survive; they would kill you. I know dear you are worried for them but you have to live. You have to survive this mess,” She reassured, her grip on my shoulder trying to give me confidence and assurance.

“Grandma, please let’s go back to the pack. Let’s help them,” I cried as more tears flooded through my eyes.

“Shhh…” she said, making me close my mouth. Her face scrolled and sooner her eyes widened in shock. I wasn’t able to understand this…

Just then, howls echoed through the woods. How the heck did they find out I was here? No one knows about this house. That is why Grandma prefers this place. It was a hidden place…

“How’d they get here so da mn fast?” Grandma exclaimed. And I was losing all my hope. After losing my wolf I couldn’t do anything and hearing from a distance is one of those. So I don’t really understand whom she was talking about?

“Run, Kiara! Run fast and don’t look back. Just keep yourself safe,” She urged, hands pushing me away to the opposite of woods as we heard the howls and running footsteps. coming closer.

A chilling terror creeps down my spine. My grandmother hugged me one last time. Her eyes filled with tears as she held my face in her hand. Kissing my forehead one last time “take care of yourself,” she whispered softly. But I still stood there.

“Go!” she shouted this time, as she shifted into a shining grey wolf who glistened in the light of the moon and ran into the forest. I ran to the opposite side.

My heart raced as the adrenaline kicked in. The forest was thick, and I could hear the wolves gaining on me. Grandma’s warning was still echoing in my ears, but I couldn’t shake off the worry for her. The moonlight filtered through the trees, casting eerie shadows. The air surrounding me felt thick.

I pushed myself harder…

1 scanned the dark forest while I secretly prayed that whatever I was thinking would be wrong… The sound of claws scraping the trees reverberates in the silence of the night.

As I ran through the forest I looked back to see if I was being followed or not?

My tears blurred my vision, but I had to run. Soon enough, the sound of wolf paws hitting the ground reached my ears, running towards my direction.

I was in human form and I wasn’t able to run anymore than that. The speed compared. to them for me is slow. I knew they would reach me…..

As the forest gave way to the edge of a cliff, I skidded to a stop. Turning, I saw three wolves advancing, low growls rumbling from their throats. I took a step back, and they mirrored me, their eyes locked on mine.

Chapter 21

They corner me at the edge of the cliff. One more step, and I’d be free-falling. They hesitated, almost like they mind-linked each other because they were not taking any steps towards me. They didn’t even shift into their human form for me to know what their faces looked like.

I knew running wasn’t an option. My hands went to my stomach as I apologised to my baby. I closed my eyes and let myself flow. I jumped from the cliff, I wondered if this was the end or…..
