Lessons in Love and Loyalty

Kiarra

“Kiarra!” he yelled after me, “wait!”

My eyes had welled up instantly with tears. I cursed myself as I ran up the stairs. They could say whatever they wanted about the Kendricks, but were they any better?

Where was the loyalty we were supposed to have to each other?

I knew that being discovered with the Kendricks would’ve been ugly no matter what. In a way, I can’t blame Aidan or any of them.

Jack was doing what he was trained to do. The same went for Angela and Michelle.

Plus, he was right; they followed the rules, I didn’t. The hot tears ran down my face, blurring my vision. I hated Aidan for this, I hated the Kendricks, I hated them all!

I never stuck around for this sort of bullshit when I was alone. It was a strict policy of cut and run.

What the hell was I thinking? People like me don’t do commitment or family crap. We move, we live.

Alone.

The way that Aidan shut down had broken me inside. I loved him more than any words could describe. I didn’t want him to think anything else, but how could I expect that?

Everything that I’ve done since meeting the Kendricks has proven otherwise. I’ve fought him tooth and nail the entire way.

Rose and James didn’t like that I followed after Aidan. She tried every line in the book to make me stay with them. If Rose had had it her way, we would’ve been packed and ready to travel home that minute.

It was a sore disappointment for them, but I owed them nothing.

I owed Aidan ~everything.~

He was the one who scooped me up and loved me, even when he was terrified and didn’t know if he could love me. Even when he thought I was only human.

I slammed the door before I threw myself onto the bed. I was back to square one. Alone and tormented.

In an ideal world, I could find a middle ground. Some solution that would leave both Aidan and the Kendricks in a place of peace.

As it stood, I was making more of a mess than was needed. I couldn’t fathom that this much bullshit would’ve come down on my head.

I explained to Rose that I was entirely devoted to Aidan. He was the best thing that had ever happened to me.

I told the Kendricks I didn’t intend to abandon my pack, which was true. The pack had been there and accepted me without question.

I was their luna.

I heard the heavy thump of Aidan’s feet coming down the hall. He was the last person I wanted to see. I didn’t know how to face him.

“Kitten?”

I left my head buried in my pillow.

“Come on, Kiarra, please? Just look at me.”

I managed to lift my head but couldn’t stop the tears from falling.

“I’m sorry, Kitten, that shouldn’t have happened.”

“But it did, Aidan!” I screamed as my mind swirled in a thousand different directions.

“There’s so much more to this, Kiarra. It’s not easy being an alpha.”

“You sit there so high and mighty, but as soon as you get the chance, you stab the knife in my back!”

“Fuck that! You’re the one who went against me, defied me openly! You shouldn’t have gone there, Kiarra!”

“I will do what I want, Aidan! We’re way past the point of no return!”

“If you don’t watch it, you’re going to bring this pack to war!”

His growls were getting intense. I knew that he was going to explode. But something happened that I didn’t account for.

The tingling between my legs.

Ordinarily, I would practically have jumped on his cock without question, but I was so pissed off I could only see red.

“Who the fuck do you think you are, Kiarra! I love you, but you’re testing my goddamn patience!”

I didn’t know what came over me, but in an instant, I flew off that bed. I headed straight for him.

Enough was enough!

“Kiarra!” he yelled, but I didn’t listen.

I thumped his hard chest with two fists. My fury was out of control.

“I fucking hate this!” I screamed, “Why are you such a prick!”

“Me? You’re the one who likes to run around pretending you don’t have to answer to me!”

“Fuck you, Aidan, I will never answer to you again!”

He grabbed my wrists, but I struggled against his might. It was a useless endeavor; he was a thousand times stronger than I’d ever be.

“Stop!” he yelled, but I couldn’t.

“I’m no one’s possession, Aidan!”

Suddenly, we locked eyes. All I could see was fire burning deep inside of him. He threw me against the closet door; he was up close now. I could feel the heat from his breath.

His cock was so hard as it rubbed into my belly.

“You want this?” he said through gritted teeth.

My pussy was going wild; I felt my legs starting to give out.

“Do you need to be taught a lesson?”

I lost my breath; all I wanted was to feel the power of his thrust.

“Take your pants off,” he growled, “now!”

“Take ’em off for me,” I snapped back.

He didn’t hesitate; he ripped my pants from my shaking body in one shot.

Our lips collided, and his eyes never left mine. “Do you want me, Kitten?” he teased, sliding his finger into the dripping hole between my legs.

“Tell me,” he commanded. “Tell me how bad you need it.”

The heat between us was electric; this storm had been brewing for days. He needed to be released, and I needed to be fed.

He picked me up with one arm, keeping my back against the wall. The other arm held my hands above my head. Slowly, he licked the nape of my neck, nibbling as he went.

I moaned, rotating my hips as my pussy searched for his cock.

“Oh, Aidan,” I practically squealed, “Please, baby, give it to me.”

“Naughty girls don’t get cock,” he teased as he nibbled my neck. “Say you’re sorry!”

He thrust himself against my belly; I was fully prepared to keep begging.

“I’m sorry,” I breathed out as he fiddled my clit in a perfect rhythm.

“Are you going to be a good girl, Kitten? Hmm?”

“Ohh, please! Give it to me, Aidan, please!”

Still suspended in the air, my hips moved wildly now. I was craving him so badly it hurt. Suddenly, I felt him push his way inside of me without warning.

I gasped as he filled me up. There was nowhere to go; he held me in place and took me.

He pounded me harder and harder until we both exploded.

Gently, he released me, and I was back on my feet. I couldn’t take my eyes off him; I didn’t want to either.

“I love you so much, Kitten,” he whispered, “I’ll never stop loving you, Kiarra.”

We kissed slowly, and his tongue danced sensually with mine. I wanted him again, but there was still a massive matter at hand.

“Aidan?”

“Mmm, yeah, Kitten?”

“I was thinking about my parents; this whole thing is insane. But what if this is a good thing?”

He stopped dead. His eyes went black. He remained eerily quiet.

“I mean for pack strength, that sort of thing. Isn’t it good for us to have solid connections?”

I kept talking; I felt like the sex had gotten us back on the same page. “My sister, you said it yourself; she’s fast and agile. She could be a huge benefit.”

“I don’t need other wolves, Kiarra. I have more than enough on my hands.”

“I know! I know. It’s just that I need to know where I come from. Good or bad. Doesn’t it make sense that we keep them close? Isn’t that the best way to stay safe?”
