Kiara POV
When I opened my eyes, I found myself in my bedroom. The yelling of Aiden could be heard, and I looked sideways to see Aiden yelling at Alejandro. But soon they shut up and looked my way.
“Kiara!” Both of them called my name. I got up on the bed, resting my back on the head of the bed.
“I think you are not required here anymore, Beta Alejandro. I will look after her. And I would believe that the things we talked about would reach Alpha Killian as we have many unsettled matters to talk about,” Aiden said and shut the door in Alejandro’s face.
“What have you done, sister?” Aiden sighed as he sat beside me, pulling me into a comforting hug.
“I did what was necessary, Aiden. I can’t take it anymore, not after Rihanna comes to the pack and becomes the Luna of the pack. I had to decide for us,” I explained.
“Us?” Aiden asked, his brows knitted in confusion, and even in this hard situation, a small smile graced my l*ps. Aiden looked a bit lost, but soon his eyes grew wide, and he laughed.
“I am gonna be an uncle,” he exclaimed, and I nodded my head. And he pulled me in a tight hug.
“But what about your wolf? Is she there? Are you able to feel her?” Aiden asked as we separated. I tried calling her but only to meet with the silence.
“She is not talking to me. However, I can feel her a little because Killian didn’t reject me. I know I haven’t entirely lost her,” I explained. But my mind keeps bugging with only one thing, why didn’t Killian accept the rejection? Wasn’t he the one who hated. me? The wolf would be lost only if a person rejected his or her mate, not the one who accepted it.
I brushed that thought away. What has been done has been done. I packed my bag only the necessary items. In those times, I hadn’t heard of Killian. And this is what I wanted.

Our departure from the pack was steeped in an uncomfortable atmosphere. Please echoed from the pack member, begging me to reconsider, to grant me another chance. Some still weren’t able to grasp that I rejected him. Despite my heart screaming at me to stay, every part of my begging was telling me to stay and fight for him, fight for the future which I am going to have with him.

Chapter 20
My mind ruled over my heart, foreseeing the endless sorrow I’d endure if I stayed. I remained torn until the end, even as Lucia pursued me, begging me to wait. The conflict lingered, and despite the ache in my heart, I knew leaving was my only choice to avoid prolonged disappointment.
As soon as she came to know about all this she hurried to me. She was still determined. in telling Killian about his baby, convincing me that he’d see Rihanna’s true colours and what a bi tch she is and how really he was in love with me, he just doesn’t know it yet. My heart wanted to believe in her convictions, but my head won.
Once we passed the pack boundary I can feel like I was leaving everything behind. I just wanted to get back to the Blood Moon and reunite with my parents. I was feeling ashamed of my failed marriage to such a powerful alliance, but I knew they would never reject me. Father might be disappointed but he would never abandon me. They have only shown me love.
Upon reaching the pack ground, Aiden continued driving. He mind-linked to alert the warriors to open the gate. I was silent all the way here not saying any words.
“Kaira, don’t worry, everything is going to be okay. I had already talked to Father and. they must have reached here before us,” He said as our car entered through the gates.
The car stopped in front of a mansion, and my parents were standing outside waiting for me. I ran into the comfort of their open arms and I was finally able to expose every bit of my emotion I was feeling the entire way to the home.
Mom led me into the mansion, and we gathered in the living room. Telling them everything that had happened to me. My father struggled to contain his anger, disappointed in Killian. Mom was quick to intervene, soothing him.
“Aiden, we need to arrange a meeting with Killian tomorrow. We had to also inform him about the misunderstanding that happened and the…” Dad began to say, but I couldn’t bear to expose him to a toxic atmosphere knowing that it would only lengthen the problem.
“No Dad, you don’t have to do that…” I whispered.
“I wanted to say something.” I said, and both of my parents’ eyes went towards me. I glanced at Aiden, who nodded his head, encouraging me to share my news.
“I am expecting, and I just wanted to raise my child here,” I finally admitted, revealing what I had kept inside. Wiping away a lone tear that stung my eyes, I saw my parents exchange surprise glances at each other, silently talking through their mind-link.
“We will stand by you, Kiara, always. You will stay here and raise the child,” Dad affirmed, casing the heavy tension within my chest.

Chapter 20
For the next few weeks, 1 had made up my mind to rest. The pack’s doctor checked me up and ensured that the baby was strong as I was able to fight the rejection. I just had to keep a good care not to get hurt as it will not be easy for me to heal quickly.
Killian kept calling me all week, but I couldn’t find the strength to pick up. What more was left to be said?
“Why don’t you go and visit your grandmother?” Mom asked, looking slightly worried as I cut another call which was from him. She put the herbal tea on the table.
“Do you think I should go?”
“Sure, Kiara, why not? Take a few days for yourself. You’ve always loved it there as a child,” she advised but I knew she was feeling scared that if Killian came to the pack to look after me it would only stress me out and may put the baby in danger.
