Killian POV

“Can I come in? I hope I’m not disturbing you,” Rihanna peeked into my office, smiling so brightly. She still looked as beautiful as ever. I thought that when Rihanna returned, I’d be overjoyed, but now, I feel nothing for her. What’s happening to me?

“You don’t have to ask every time, Rihanna. You’re welcome anytime now,” I managed a smile, though it felt forced.

“No, Killian, you’re a married man now. I can’t just barge in. What if you’re with your mate?” Her teasing tone made me growl involuntarily. My wolf didn’t like her mentioning Kiara. Rihanna seemed hurt by my reaction, but I suppressed the guilt. rising inside. She’s been through a lot since my father banished her from the pack three

years ago.

Maybe it’s guilt that’s making me feel this way. A pang of guilt that she had to go through all those mistreatment because of me.

“How’s your training going? Did Kiara teach you everything about the pack?” I asked as I rifled through my drawer, searching for paperwork related to the Crescent Moon Pack.

My father hasn’t been responding to our messages, and I don’t want to think otherwise but the alpha of the Crescent Moon Pack, Alpha Alexander, is a bit notorious and he hates me. But I still couldn’t grasp why the father was so persistent in forming an alliance with him. It’s not like we need them; if anything, they need us.

“Killian, please don’t get angry with me but I think Kiara doesn’t like me. I know I shouldn’t be saying this but she always treats me coldly. She said that she doesn’t me in the pack and near you,” She said in a small voice, her voice breaking trying to hide her s obs. I was taken aback by her confession. Did she really treat her this harshly? I couldn’t believe that.

I arched an eyebrow at her. My wolf was not pleased with the way she said this, “Rihanna, I assure you that it’s not like that. She is the most mature woman I came across in my time,”

“I knew you wouldn’t believe me. I-I was trying to befriend her so that we could work together but…”

Before she could complain any further I growled “I said it would be a

misunderstanding.” Her eyes widened. I sighed before adding, “I will talk to her,” She nodded her head..

Her hand landed on my shoulder. I fought to control Khan, my wolf, who was growing restless by her touch. Is the bond with Kiara really this strong? Now, I am not able to

bear any other touch. The one I’ve yearned to touch is right in front of me, but I don’t feel anything for her anymore.

“Killian, you need to relax. You’re under so much pressure. Maybe you need a break,” she whispered seductively, her fingers inching towards my n*eck touching the bare area. In the past, this would have led us to be intimate, but now, I just feel numb.

“Rihanna, not now. I’m really not in the mood. I already have too much on my plate. You should go and take some rest,” I said nonchalantly, and again, her eyes welled up. Not again. But without saying anything she nodded and headed for the door, but before she could leave, I caught her hand. This is not the right way to treat her. I called her name aiming to stop her.

“It’s okay, Killian. I know now you don’t feel anything for me. These past few days, I have seen the changes that have come between us. You’ve been distant from me. I shouldn’t have come here,’ she said between her s obs. My heart clenched as I saw her crying again. I hugged her immediately.

“It’s not like that, Rihanna. I’m already on edge with my father missing. I know I shouldn’t worry, he is the strong alpha and can take care of himself, but he’s all the family I have left, I explained, hugging her closer to me. My wolf protested, but I patted her back gently, feeling a surge of guilt.

Even though her crying gets on my nerves, I can’t just treat her coldly. She’s been through so much, especially in that pack over the last two years must be adding to her anxiety. I held her until her so bs subsided.

“Are you going to stay with me tonight? I still can’t sleep properly alone,” she asked, wiping her tears. I sighed. I’ve been by her side

Since she returned to the pack, unable to spend time with Kiara or even talk to her. I’m sure Kiara noticed my absence these past few nights. I nodded, and Rihanna beamed, giving me a quick k*ss on the cheek before retreating to her room.

For three years, I resented my father for banishing Rihanna from the pack just so I could mate with Kiara. He knew my feelings for Rihanna, I’m sure of it, everyone in the pack knows it. But he insisted that I mate with the woman Moon Goddess chose for me, my destined one.

And so, I complied with his condition by marrying Kiara. I thought it would be a simple act, a way to ensure Rihanna’s place within the pack. Little did I know, my father had other plans – ones that far exceeded my expectations. He banished her, tearing us apart. I managed to help her in replaceing refuge with another pack, where she could remain discreet and safe, even if it meant cutting off our contact.

Seeing her again on the day of my coronation brought a rush of happiness and longing. She confided in me about the suffering she had endured in her previous pack. They

treated her like a mere ser vant, subjecting her to cruelty. Even the head Alpha had so far as to even rape her, but she was lucky and ran away from that pack. That boiled my anger. I was about to take action for it but she said she wanted to leave that to the

past.

She found solace in my arms, and at that moment, I made a promise to protect her from any harm. As I ascended to the throne, I honoured that promise by bestowing upon her the title of Luna.

I couldn’t bear the thought of sending Rihanna back to that wretched pack, where her mistreatment would continue and the danger she might face. By granting her the Luna title, I hoped to prevent any interference from my father, Alpha Eric.

I knew that my decision would likely disappoint Kiara, I was expecting her to make at fuss about it but she accepted it so easily?

I had intended to explain this to Kiara, but I didn’t have a chance to meet her or to stay with her. I had been with Rihanna all the time. And then there was my wolf, a restless. presence within me, who wanted nothing but to be with Kiara.

A knock on the door pulled me out of my thoughts.

“Did you call us, Killian?” Alejandro’s voice carried a mix of concern and formality as he settled into a chair beside the couch, with my gam ma, Austin, following suit. Austin didn’t look pleased to see me, likely due to his sister’s close friendship with Kiara. Kiara had effortlessly won the hearts of my pack members, even without exerting any. deliberate effort. And now, they resented that I had chosen another for the position of

Luna.

“Is there any news from the Crescent Moon Pack?” I inquired, ignoring Austin’s evident indifference. Their sombre expressions didn’t escape my notice. My jaws clenched in anger. What could they be planning? If they had my father in their grasp, I vowed to dismantle their pack stone by stone.

“We have sent some of our informers to the pack but Alexander is way more cun ning than we thought. He had taken more precautions than we could imagine. No informer is able to get inside his pack,” Austin admitted.

“Then it’s time we see the situation for ourselves. If a w

is what he wanted, so be it. If he has my father, it’s a gamble that may cost him dearly,” I declared, my resolve steady.

“Are you sure, Alpha?”

I affirmed with a nod, “Yes we will be leaving the day after tomorrow for the Crescent Moon Pack. Let’s see what that bas ta rd wants from me?” I said. After discussing the plan Austin was the first to leave the office room. I too decided to call it a night.

“Alejandro, what happened to Kiara? Did Eve tell you why she fainted?” I asked.

“Seriously, you haven’t met her all this time. Killian, it’s been five days, and you still don’t know how your mate is? Are you so busy with pleasing Rihanna? For the sake of goddess Killian, open your da mn eyes because when you do, it will be too late for you. to repent for it.” Alejandro looks at me with disbelief, his eyes filled with disappointment. By saying this, he left the room.
