Chapter 36

Kiara POV

I stood before my pack’s gate again. Tears started to welled in my eyes as I stared at the pack I once called my home. I was nervous and scared. I doubted they would accept me again. Coming here felt like a mistake. They would be hating me. Because of me, they couldn’t get the help.

If only I didn’t reject Killian and left the Luna position he would certainly help my pack. I was in deep contempt for what I would say if they asked me

Lost in my thoughts, a hand on my shoulder snapped me back to reality

“Don’t worry, Kiara Nothing happened because of you. It was fate who pulled your string” Lucia said Lucia reassured, and I nodded, trying to find solace in her words.

She met me near the pack borders. She wanted to come with me. She mentioned to me that the Ecl*pser Pack and Blood Moon Pack had grown a relationship. I wanted to ask what but brush that off aside as my mind was flooding with the other questions and fear

With a call, the pack gate opened, and Noah drove the car inside. To my surprise, I didn’t have to guide him, he seemed to know where the Alpha mansion was supposed to be. The unexpected familiarity stirred a mix of emotions within me.

Everything has been changing. A change in a good way and I couldn’t help but feel proud that Aiden had established his pack from scratch. The car entered through the Alpha mansion gate, stopping in front of the main door. Lucia was the first one to come out of the car.

I took a deep breath and stepped out of the car. She waited to calm down before we entered the alpha house.

If I had a wolf it would be whimpering inside my mind. As I felt them stare at me. Lucia held my hand so I could use her as my support.

“We come to meet Alpha Aiden. Tell him that Beta Lucia is here from the Ecl*pser Pack,” she said to someone and all this while. I kept my head lowered, not daring to lift it up.

“Kiara, you don’t have to worry. Like I said, Aiden would be dying to know that you are alive..” she reassured and that is when the door swung open and Aiden walked in. She told me that he was ill and needed medical support… But he looks fine to me…

“Beta Lucia, it was good to see you again… Kiara!” He called, making my heart drop. I immediately lifted my head up and there he was standing there. Looking much more

mature than the last time I saw him.

tears

“Kiara, you are alive…” he said before running towards me. He hugged me as my started to form in my eyes ready to spill any minute. My pack, My family, it is still safe…

“I am sorry… I am so sorry that because of me, Mom and Dad died. Because of me, the pack faced this massacre and damage,” I said through tears, my heart in pain. The pain. of the past four years, thinking they were safe and alive, seemed bearable now that I was faced with the reality of my pack’s…

“You know how much I have feared that I had lost you, I have been cursing myself till now that I could not save you….” he confessed, holding me close to him.

“I was afraid to face you. I was afraid to face the pack members thinking they would hate…” I cried out.

“No, Kiara, no one has ever hated you. For the things you have done for the pack, they would never have a heart to hate your soul sister…” He was reassured, offering comfort. and understanding.

And I don’t know how to reply to him about this. The pack never hated me.

“You guys

should stop crying. Aiden, if anyone sees that you are crying in the arms of your sister, I am going to tell Nickolai and he will make fun of you….” Lucia teased, bringing a small smile to our faces.

I couldn’t be any more happier than I already am right now.

Aiden pulled me and made me sit on the couch as my eyes roamed around the alpha house. The exterior has been changed; it was not like the one my mom made…

“I am sorry for our grandmother, Aiden. She had to lose her life to save herself too…”

“Kaira you are alive and that is enough for me. I know we have loosened many but we can’t fight the fate the moon goddess had already written in our life… So let’s not reminisce about the ugly past when we have a lot for the future….” he suggested, encouraging us to focus on what lay ahead.

That was when I heard a small cry. A woman similar to my age entered the living room. cradling a beautiful baby which I can tell was not more than six months old. She was beautiful, her long black hair braided, her blue eyes which are as blue as the Pacific Ocean. And her l*ps had a smile on.

Aiden immediately looked at her. He mind-linked her as she walked towards n

me.

“Kiara, she is Evelyn… My fate mate, she is the daughter of the alpha of Ecl*pser Pack…” Aiden said as he introduced her.

Chapter 36

“And here is my daughter, Candice,” he added, proudly introducing the baby in Evelyn’s

arms.

I immediately jumped to see her. And she looked so cute.

“I’m glad to see you, Kiara,” she said and I smiled at her. I couldn’t be happier now seeing my younger brother finally forming a family. Mom and Dad must be proud of them…

“She is beautiful.” I said, directing my gaze to Candice. Hanna and Ry would be happy to know that they have a cousin. I can totally imagine their excited faces jumping with joy to meet her as soon as possible,

“Ry and Hanna would be happy to see her,” Lucia said, voicing what I had in mind. There was no point in hiding anymore; they should live in this pack, the pack that belonged to me.

“Ry and Hanna? Who are they?” Aiden asked, frowning in confusion. A multaneous chuckle escaped both Lucia’s and my l*ps. Aiden would always be a bit slow to catch on.

“They are my kids, Aiden, I explained, but the frown still lingered on his face. prompting laughter from all three of us.

“Kiara, don’t mind him. He is a little late to understand all this…” Lucia began, but an excited scream cut through the air.

“You had twins. I’m the uncle of the twins…” he yelled a little too excitedly because soon Candice’s little cry broke the atmosphere making Evelyn growl at her.

I felt a wave of happiness wash over me as I looked at the pack from the balcony. The pack members, upon hearing about my return, welcomed me with open arms and hearts. Some expressed that they still saw me as their departed Alpha’s daughter, and that title would forever belong to me. The warmth and acceptance from the pack filled me with a sense of belonging and peace.

Tears welled up in my eyes because of the overwhelming love the pack had given me. The realisation of the reduced pack members hit hard; some had lost their mothers, some their fathers, and others were widowed as their husbands, the warriors, fought valiantly and gave their lives to protect the pack. The sacrifices and losses the pack had endured were profound, and the weight of their grief resonated with me.

My heart clenched at the thought, and the mission to find the Rouge Alpha King became an even more crucial and personal task for me.

“Kiara!” Lucia’s voice pulled me out of my thoughts. I turned to look at as she was

Chapter 36

wearing her coat. Is she leaving? Aiden wouldn’t let me leave this place. He was persistent that I would stay for a night and I didn’t have a heart to say no to him..

“Are you leaving…” I asked frowning.

“Ah yes as you have know the incident that happened we have tightened our security all the pack members were still scared and you know being a beta mate I had responsibilities too I can’t leave my mate there alone.” She said and I couldn’t help but chuckle thinking she was the same one who was used to tease me for being typical smitten wife.

“What with this smile?” she asked.

“Weren’t you usually teasing me for being a typical smitten wife now say who is who now?” I laughed. I miss these moments where I can freely talk to my friends, and family without the worry that these moments will sl*p through my fingers.

She sighed as a small shy smile graced her l*ps, her n*eck was adorned with the mating mark and I could tell she was happy to be with her fated mate not like me whose fated mate hated her….

“You were right, Kiara. Mate do change your point of view,” She said.

“Okay, now I have to leave. The Beta Noah would be staying in the guest house. Your brother doesn’t want any stranger near the alpha mansion. But I wanted to ask something, please don’t take it to heart..” she asked and I nodded my head for her to

continue.

“Didn’t you find anything suspicious with the Alpha Aries Pack?” And I frowned at her question because even if I don’t belong to that pack. That pack had given me everything…

“No but I could tell that he was worth to put your trust in…” I told her but from her face, she still didn’t feel like agreeing. We said our goodbyes as she walked back to her car and headed in the direction of her pack…

My throat felt dry so I decided to drink some water heading to the kitchen. I found Evelyn there. I smiled at her. I didn’t get a chance to talk

to her. Using this opportunity

to know her.

“So how did you and Aiden meet?” I asked as she handed me a glass of water.

“It was Alpha King who came to our pack with him to do some business. That is when we found that we are fated mates…” Evelyn told me. Aiden doing business with Killian on what prospects. Did he forget the pain I have gone through?

“Kiara I have seen how devastated Aiden was when he found your grandmother’s lake

Chapter 36

house burning. They had found two dead bodies there… which they assumed one would be yours,” she said. I felt like the air had been knocked out of me. Someone portrays my death. They deliberately wanted them to make it real that I was dead. But who and why?

“He had gone through so much pain and that’s when I decided to settle in this pack to support him and help him build this pack from scratch.” She said,

“Thank you for doing this Evelyn. I would say that they had gotten the best Luna..” I said.

“Not the way you did for your mate’s pack Kiara. You are the one who was still praised by my father.” She said.

“And I am happy to see you here. To be able to meet you,” We talked for hours when she decided to take the leave to feed Candinice who, according to her, was just like my brother.

I was heading in the direction of the guest room. When I saw Aiden walking in through the stairs up.

“Going to bed?” he asked and I replied with a yes. He nodded.

“Aiden, I am leaving tomorrow morning. Ry and Hanna can’t stay away from me and leaving them alone won’t fit right. I can’t burden the alpha of the pack,” I said.

“Kiara… for that I wanted to talk to you about something.” he asked, contemplating whether he should say or not…..

“As you know that you are accepted to the pack. Everything is alright. I would like your to come back here sister,” he said and I found it difficult to answer as I couldn’t imagine to throw away the back who supported me for four years…

“Aiden…”

And

“You can take your time Kiara but this pack belongs to you as much as it is for me.. Ry being the next in line Alpha King it would be better he would be familiarised with. this pack..”

“But I don’t want Killian to know about me or my children, Aiden. I am happy being distant with him right now. And the heir is on the way anyway.

“Kiara, he was the one who was looking for you like a mad man when as soon as he got the news that our pack had been attacked…”
