Kiara POV
After talking to Mom, I started packing my things to go and stay with my grandmother. When my grandfather died, she was cut off from the world and stayed just a few kilometres away from the border, living in a small lake house.
The nighttime came, and I went downstairs to have dinner with my parents. As soon as I reached the dining room, I only saw Mom sitting there, waiting patiently for me. Her head hung low as if she was thinking of something-
“Where are Dad and Aiden? Weren’t they joining us for dinner?” I asked as I took a seat beside her. A maid came and started serving me the dishes. By the smell, I knew it was made by Mom. She was very precautious of me. Looking after my every need.
At the mention of them, she looks a little worried. I knew something was wrong by the way she composed herself and smiled a little, “No, dear. He and Aiden had to attend a meeting with the council. They had to settle the matter,” She replied.
“Didn’t I say they don’t need to talk to Killian? Mom, I don’t want to make any contact. with him. I can alone raise my children. I know I am disappointing you and Dad but I don’t want to go back to him,” I pleaded. I should have known Killian wouldn’t spare the matter of finding Alpha Eric…
Seeing me taking so much stress, she rushed to my side and said, “Kiara, no, please try to calm down. He had to settle this matter. Otherwise, the council will think that we are the ones who broke the alliance. We had to resolve this misunderstanding. Otherwise it will be difficult for us to live here,”
But I knew Killian didn’t listen to anyone when his mind was blinded by rage. After eating dinner, I went back to the room, but not before stopping in front of Dad’s office.
I was leaving tomorrow, so I thought talking with him would bring a little peace to me. I knocked on the door, and a strong Alpha voice permitted me to come in.
I opened the door and walked inside, seeing Aiden, his Beta Marcus and his father who was the head of our warriors team sitting and talking about something but seeing me there they all shut up. I felt something was wrong.
“Dad, I am leaving tomorrow, so I thought to have a talk with you,” I said.
“We will take the leave, Dad,” Aiden said, and three of them got up from the couch and went out. From looking at their faces it was a clear indication that they were worried and a bit scared but from what?
“I may not be here tomorrow to see you off as I have matters to attend to outside the

pack, Kiara. But I had assigned two of my warriors who would come with you. Take care of yourselves and the baby, sister” Aiden said and closed the door behind him.
“Is everything okay, Dad?” I couldn’t hold myself and asked as I sank myself on the couch. Because I had a feeling that something was not going in the right way. They all looked tense and it felt like they were hiding something from me.
“Yes, Kiara. You don’t need to be worried. Have you eaten dinner?” He asked and I nodded my head.
“I heard from Aiden that he didn’t know that you are carrying the heir of his pack?” After a few minutes of silence Dad asked, and I looked down, not wanting to meet his
eyes.
“He wouldn’t have cared even if I told him,” I replied, still looking away as I tried to hide the tears at the mention of his name. A tense silence fell between us. I wanted to ask him what happened in the council meeting? How was Alpha Eric here? I have so many questions right now.
When the silence grew more between us, I looked up at him, his eyes were filled with regret. “It was all my mistake, Kiara. I knew Killian never wanted you as his mate. He already had someone, but Alpha Eric ensure us that he would do something about that,”
“And when we got to know that you are his mate, we thought this bond was blessed by Selene. We didn’t know that you had to bear all these three years with him,” Dad mumbled. A lone tear escaped through my eyes.
“It is okay, Dad,” I whispered softly. I forced a smile to tell him that this was okay but I knew as I was feeling a huge gaping hole in my chest and there was a part of me wanting to give up.
After taking a long bath, I decided to call it a day. I picked up my phone one last time before going to bed and didn’t see any of Killian’s calls or messages. In the message, he had said that he wanted me back in the pack, even going way too far to threaten me that if I didn’t come, he would dare to do something worse…
But I ignored those and got ready for bed. It was a rough day, and suddenly I felt. drained. As I have lost my wolf, I am becoming more like a human….
The next morning after saying goodbyes to my parents I was on the way to grandma’s house. Mom was right. Going back to my favourite place as a child did wonders for me. The gentle ripples of the lack brought a fresh calmness to my soul.
Grandmother was happy after seeing me there. She was worried when she got the news about me. She still couldn’t believe that Killian would do such things to me. Killian is known for his cold behaviour, but he had always talked politely with my grandmother.

Chapter 21
I think the reason must be because she knew his mother. That is the common thing that makes them have a good relationship with cach other.
I always looked up to my grandparents and my parents’ bond. How they fated to each other, they supported each other, loved each other and died for each other, and here I am the only curse whose mate didn’t love but always hated me.
Even on the last day, he hugged Rihanna while he was with her. I sighed, thinking that coming here was to make him forget, not to remember him.
My hand rests on my stomach. I understand I’ll always be connected to Killian through our child, and my love for him will endure. Yet, now I have a chance for happiness and peace with my parents and my child. I won’t let it sl*p away.
The break allows me to reconsider my situation, my heart is healing. Despite the initial heartbreak, a new future awaits for me. My father will be the male figure in my baby’s life, the alpha. It’s not what I dreamed of, I remember putting on my wedding dress with romantic dreams for marriage with Killian. Now, I’ve awakened from that dream.
“Just take care of yourself, you need more of the rest,” Grandma said when I was returning to the pack.
We waited for an hour for the warrior to come and get me back to the pack, but no one
came.
I tried calling Aiden or my parents, but no one was picking up my calls. Now I’m starting to get worried.
“Kiara, you have to stop worrying yourselves,” Grandmother said as she tried to calm me down, but I wasn’t able to hold my emotions. Everything around me makes me feel like something bad is going to happen.
“I am not feeling good about this, Grandma. No one is picking up my call. I had to go and look for them,” I said, and she nodded her head.
“I will come with you too. We will take the car,” she said, and we hurriedly got back to our pack.
My heart pounded as I entered the pack territory, the air thick with anticipation. I saw everyone rushing here and there. The warriors were taking the necessary weapons, and another batch of warriors started lining up at the borders. And I knew what they were preparing for. They are preparing for the war…
