Chapter 13
Killian POV
“She was poisoned,” Eve muttered as she read Rihanna’s report while Rihanna was in bed. Her face looks pale and weak. Her l*ps were dried. I sat beside her holding her hand.
All were present in the room, and Elder Simon shot me an accusing glare. I had made at da mn promise to him that I’d protect her. Whatever c rap had happened to her in her older pack could be blamed on my old man, but what the hell was happening here on my watch is more frustrating. Because it was happening right under my nose.
“Are you da mn sure, Eve?” The question hung in the air. I was angry. Who the hell could do this to her?
“Yeah, Alpha,” Eve replied. “Her blood had traces of poison and it seems like she’s had it in her for over a week. It wasn’t even wolfbane, this stuff was sneakier to even pinpoint.”
“Who the hell would poison their own pack’s member Eve thinks before saying bulls hit. We all know Rihanna moreover Alpha Eric had already swore to us not to harm our own members,” Alejandro burst out, his brows knitted in anger and confusion.
“Did something happen to you when I was not here?” I asked Rihanna, her eyes. drooping as she wetted her dried l*ps. Looking at her like this made my heart. crumpled. She didn’t say anything, just rested her head on my chest.
I was furious that the spy
all my wolf wanted was to see Kiara and to ensure if
too late? Even in the midsted to pull off whatever the hell she wanted. Was I
she was okay or not? In all these, I forget that she was also on target.
She was my f ucking fated mate an easy target for that da mn spy bi tch to make me lose my control over everything. I clenched my teeth, vowing to make that spy pay the moment I got my hands on her. I can’t let her harm Kiara.
“So, what the heck is that thing that is poisoning my granddaughter, Eve? And Alpha Killian, is this your Alpha King’s blood-sworn promise to look after her? I should have thought twice before entrusting her to you. You’re no different from your father,” Elder Simon hissed through his gritted teeth. He stood beside her, rubbing her back in a reassuring manner.
I bit my tongue, knowing that arguing with him would not solve anything right now. I had to find that da mn spy first. The room fell into an odd silence, and all looked worried for her. But then, Eve dropped a bombshell with her next words.
“That poison is similar to wolfsbane but as wolfsbane is easy to find this poison can’t be found that easily,” Eve explained.

“It is a silverbane leaf. About this leaf only a few people know about this stuff. ’cause it ain’t easily available and no ordinary wolf can identify that plant in the wild.” She added.
“Only a doctor can identify those plants.” She added.
“And Rihanna had been calling me many times before to check up on her as she had told me that she was not feeling well. That time I had her blood tested but the reports came this morning only Alpha.
It was too much information to grab. I felt like I was a weak alpha who couldn’t even look after its pack members’ safety.
“So where the hell do you find those da mn leaves, or whatever the hell that is? How could it even be smuggled in my pack right under my nose?” I roared, but before Eve could answer, Jessica cut in between.
“It was easy to find near the southern hills Alpha.”
“From where our ex-Luna Kaira Westwood belongs.”
Kiara POV
That morning, I had to practically drag myself out of bed. I was determined to visit Eve at the hospital. I needed to check on the progress of my pup. I couldn’t stand living like a poor rejected omega. I mean, let’s be real. I wasn’t even close to being in that category.
After Rihanna’s dramatic exit from the room that day. Lucia had made it abundantly clear that I had to spill the beans to Killian as soon as he returned to the pack.
The anticipation was eating me up from the inside. Somewhere deep inside me. I knew Killian wouldn’t throw me aside. He couldn’t reject his heir. right! After all, we were destined mates, and whatever Rihanna had played house in the past with him was not going to happen in reality… we’d built together.
I was sure he would be over the moon upon hearing the news. Maybe I am exaggerating a bit but still… We would finally live like the fated mate, and he would mark me… I want to bear his mark.
I stepped out of the room and I knew he had returned home. I can feel his aura in the surroundings but something felt off.
I wanted to go straight to his office, but a warrior came rushing towards me.
“Luna.” I turned to look at him. “There was an accident in the training field. One of the teenage warriors injured himself. Doctor Eve isn’t at the hospital to attend to it. We’ve
Chapter 13
been trying to mind-link her, but she’s not responding. Could you please check up on him?”
I sighed. It seems like my big news would have to wait a bit longer. The pack members. continued to call me Luna and they addressed the same title to Rihanna. They had too; it was the order given by their Alpha King. They can’t go against this order even if they
want to.
I still have to look at every important matter. If Rihanna advises any new changes which she wants to happen inside the pack, the protocol first goes through me once I agree to the terms then it is decided to follow.
I might know the reason because I have seen her ordering the members around here and treating them like sla ves. She treats everyone like she is not only Luna of the pack but also Killian’s mate.
I headed in the direction of the hospital, which was not far from the mansion.
A seventeen-year-old boy was sitting on the chair. He had a cut on his arm which I knew was from silver blades. I still don’t understand why Killian is persistent for them. to fight with silver-coated weapons for training. Maybe that’s what made our pack one of the top fighters in the game. No one stood before us.
I walked to the young warrior, I pulled a pair of gloves from a side table and sl*pped them on. As I examine his wound. It is not dangerous but wolves are susceptible to silver and his wolf is not even present to heal itself a little quickly.
After cleaning his wound and a few stitches I was done.
“Thank you, Luna,” He muttered a small thank you before leaving the room. I peeled off the used gloves and tossed them into a nearby trash can. Waiting here for Eve seemed like the best use of my time, so I settled into her office.
Sinking into the plush couch situated right next to the door, I pulled out my phone. Only to see ten missed calls from my brother, Aiden Westwood. I hadn’t spoken to my family since the ceremony day.
They had initially planned to attend my ceremony but ended up cancelling as Mom and Dad were on a world tour after passing down his pack responsibility to my younger brother, Aiden. Part of me was glad they hadn’t witnessed the unfairness I faced at the hands of my own mate within the pack.
They are not going to take this matter lightly. Mostly Aiden, he was always protective towards me.
Seeing all those missed calls was not giving me a good feeling. What if Aiden has gotten wind of the news by now that I am not the Luna of the pack. My family loved me, and if
Chapter 13
they came to know about this unjustness my family wouldn’t keep quiet.
I hurriedly called his number, and he picked up after just two rings.
“Hello!”
“Kiara! I don’t know how this happened, but this morning, my beta came with the news that a wolf was found injured on our border. When we reached the border, we only to see it was Alpha Eric,” And all of his remaining words hung up in the air, as my heart was pounding loudly in my chest.
“And he is not in good condition,”
