Kiara POV

“Are you done packing your things?” Aries inquired as he entered my room. He was wearing a light grey t-shirt which fitted to him like a second skin and army green joggers. He must have come straight from the training session from how tousled his hair looks right now…

“Don’t look at me like that this happens,” he said, pointing at his hairs “because I was dealing with your princess tantrums,” And I couldn’t help but a smile cracked on my l*ps.

“Yeah, it was only for one day, so I don’t see the need to pack more things… Is Noah. coming with me or Owen?” I asked, as I folded a sweater and placed it in my bag. The medical kit is all ready.

It had been three days since Lucia left, and I only spoke to her last night and came to know that the health of the Alpha of the Blood Moon pack was bad. And he needed immediate attention.

And I felt like the air had been knocked out of me. Aiden needed help… I was so worried that I was about to leave at night only, but Aries suggested that I wait for the morning. It would be difficult to travel at night knowing how much time it takes to get from one pack to another. With small human towns in between them.

“Noah is coming with you. He must be getting the car ready,” he said, walking towards me. He knew I was panicking inside. I hadn’t seen my brother for like four years. He might have thought that I must be dead by now.

The need to meet my brother overwhelmed me. He was my only remaining family, and I couldn’t bear the thought of losing him. Lost in my thoughts, I didn’t notice Aries entering what we called my personal space. While his touch on my shoulder eased some of my nervousness, it didn’t have the same effect as it did with Killian…

He guided me to sit on the edge of the bed as he knelt down in front of me. I couldn’t comprehend why Aries was so caring towards me. This demeanour had been consistent since the day he found me here… It left me feeling guilty, as I had been rejecting him. I still didn’t have the heart to fully accept him…..

“You should stop panicking and take a deep breath,” Aries advised, rubbing smooth circles on my arms. His touches sent tingles through me.

“I- I don’t know, Aries. I don’t know how to face him after four long years… He… He must be hating me for leaving him like this… for running away like a coward…” I confessed, as my eyes started to fill with tears.

“No, Kiara, he wouldn’t hate you, He can never hate you….. He is your brother, you are his family…” Aries reassured me, attempting to ease my worries with his words. Deep down, though, I couldn’t shake the feeling that I hadn’t been fair to him.

“How will I show my face to the pack members? Because of me, they had to face all this if I hadn’t left his pack if I hadn’t rejected him. Then all this wouldn’t have happened,” I expressed amid my so bs. Regrets flooded my thoughts, and it all seemed to trace back to him.

“Don’t worry, everything is going to be fine,” he comforted, pulling me into a reassuring hug. For the last four years, he gently soothed my wounded heart, helping me forget the pain of my loss… But the anger still flooded my mind and had consumed my soul. I will not stay still till I find that ba sta rd…

“And don’t worry about the kids, they will be safe here. I will look after them,” he assured, and I nodded my head in acknowledgement.

By the time I was done with my packing, I thought I could talk to the kids. They would likely get upset but it is still not the right time for them to meet him…

I opened their bedroom door, expecting to find both Hanna and Ry. To my surprise only to find Hanna playing with her dolls. Where is Ry? I worried as I furrowed my brows. The moment her eyes landed on me, she ran towards me, sweetly yelling, “Mummy!”

“Hanna, where is your brother?” I asked as I scooped her up.

“I don’t know, I told him to play with me, but he said that he was going to play football with Jace,” she replied.

“It’s okay, go play with your toys. I will look for your brother..” I assured her, walking out of their bedroom. I headed in the direction of the living room which cut through the front porch and garden thinking that he might be there as Jace and Ry usually play football there. But when I got there I couldn’t find them.

As I walked around the side of the courtyard, my heart stopped at the sound of hist laughter surrounding the courtyard. Which I knew from the bottom of my heart. It has been imprinted on my soul.

I stare as he lifts Ry up to sit on the front bonnet of his black jeep, just as he was sitting. Panic surged within me at the closeness between him and my son-my son. Anger bubbled up,

and I clenched my hands into tight fists. How could he be here? My mind. felt like it was blocked as I couldn’t think of anything other than to run and take my son

from him. I walked back to the house and I saw red.

away

I stormed into Aries’ office, finding him seated on the chair. The question lingered in my mind-how did Owen not inform him about the Alpha’s presence in our territory,

and not just any Alpha, but the ruthless Alpha King.

“Kiara!” Aries exclaimed, but before he could question my sudden entrance, I yelled.

“Why is he here?” I was not thinking straight right now. I don’t give a da mn about this alpha or that who was playing with his own son without knowing about his existence.

“What…” He asked as he jumped up towards me seeing me reacting like this.

“I want him out of here, Aries. I don’t care about your alliance but I want him out…” I said he was confused for a moment and I wanted to pull every bit of my hair out seeing him again make me hate him more.

“Kiara, first tell me what is the matter…” Aries tries to calm me down.

“Aries, Killian is here and he is talking to my son…”

“Killian is the father of my children,” I said as my chest heaved with anger. Aries didn’t need to be told twice before he took the beeline out of the living room towards the porch area. I followed him as I hid behind the mansion’s main door looking out.

Aries grabbed Ry’s hand pulling him away from Killian which made him growl and a shudder fell to my spine as his growl echoed to the area. Does he know that Ry is his son… Is Lucia betraying me? Did she tell Killian about my kids?

And I really prayed to the goddess that what I was thinking was wrong. I had trusted Lucia with this secret she wouldn’t do that…

I stared at his stormy grey eyes which were directly held on Ry who was behind Aries. I can tell he was angry, he was more than angry. But he seems to take the unspokent message that he is no longer welcome here and walks back to the front of his jeep. He seemed to say something to Aries who didn’t bother to reply as he settled in his jeep.

I glared as I saw the car moving out of the alpha mansion ground making me take a huge sigh of relief. Once he was out of the site I rushed towards Ry whose eyes were fixed on the jeep.

“Ry!” I called him out as I pulled him in a hug wanting to feel that he was still with me.

“Mummy, you just missed a really cool alpha!” He excitedly chimes at me.

“Did I?” I asked, holding back the frustration I was feeling.

“Yes, but Aries said he had to leave..” he said looking down. I can see he is disappointed as his wolf must have acknowledged his father even with just a first meeting… I place my hand on his shoulder pulling him inside.

Aries has many questions which I have to answer now. But I want my kids to be with me

right now.

“Your sister is alone, go play with her,” I said, trying to coax him.

O

“Okay sure mummy but after that, I want to play with Jace but when will we meet that alpha again…….” he asked as he tried to take two steps at a time. And I froze at his question. What with the sudden coincidence with Killian? Why now? Why after four long years? These questions were bugging my mind.

“First go to the room but I’ll need to speak to you later,” I said, planting a k*ss on his head as he walked to his bedroom.

I went downstairs, in the living Aries and Owen were standing. From the look Owen was giving me it feels like he would have known the bloodline of Ry’s.

“Kiara, Owen didn’t know that he was the Alpha King. He had hidden his aura so well that it confused him,” Aries said, trying to save side his gam ma but the look he gave to me, he didn’t look like he was sorry for this. It feels like it was being planned…

“I want to talk to you,” I said looking straight into Aries’s eyes. He nodded, indicating to me to continue.

“Alone. I need to talk to you alone….” I pressurised every bit of my words.

“Owen see if the car is ready or not,” he commanded his gam ma who went to follow his order.

I look around the house, finding it empty.

“Kiara!”

“The Alpha King, Killian Ironclaw of the Madcrest Pack was my mate. He was responsible for my misery and I don’t want him to join our alliance with us. If you needed his power to grow your pack then I would suggest that I would leave this pack… I said. And I can tell that he was shocked by how his mouth hung open.

“Kiara what are you saying…” Aries said knitting his brow.

“I don’t want him near my children. He knew nothing about them and I wanted it to be like this…”

“Ok, okay, I got it. Calm down. Don’t be so nervous,” He said, holding me close. How could I stay calm? This would be my second encounter with him and it would just be in the span of three weeks.

And he was this close to, my children, playing and laughing with him. He doesn’t deserve this and I would make sure of it…..

Chapter 35

After regaining my composure, I went to their bedroom. Upon entering, I found both of them asleep in a single bed.

The twins wanted that closeness even now, just as they did in my tummy. Hanna, especially, sought comfort in Ry’s presence during the night when nightmares struck. And Ry being the protective brother he is, he lets her do whatever she wants.

“Shh, Mummy, Hanna is asleep. Ry whispered, placing his small finger on his l*ps to ensure quietness.

“What about you?” I asked as he sat, fl*pping through a nursery book.

“We were playing when she said she wanted to sleep but she also wanted to hear a story. because she can’t sleep without it. And you and Aries are both busy so I thought to read to her,” He said, and my heart swelled at his cute brotherly love for his sister. Despite being mischievous at times, he wouldn’t tolerate anyone else teasing her.

“Ry… about the alpha from today, what did you talk to him about?” I inquired, attempting to sound it nonchalant. I didn’t want him to worry that he had done something wrong.

“Nothing much. He just wanted to know whose son I am?” he replied, shrugging his shoulders.

“Ry, I had always told you to be careful with strangers..” I cautioned, but Ry has always been cautious with strangers. He doesn’t like to mingle with new people. And he was not so easy to please. He had put a significant distance with strangers.

“He wasn’t a stranger,” He interjected. Oh no… and I closed my eyes and didn’t want to hear it anymore.

“No, my wolf said we could trust him. That he would keep us safe,” he said, causing concern and fear to

surge within me.
