A female wolf was staring at us, her face looked scary and her eyes was wet with tears.

Then we discovered that it was Lisa, Kaira, and James moving closer to her, and they discovered her clothes were drenched with dirt. Maybe she had fallen.

"I am so sorry Kaira, I mistakenly fell inside a river when I went to the bush to get some leaves for you and then... " She felt weak and she fell on my hands.

Kaira was so dejected likewise James.

"Ok, no prob, Lisa, I am so sorry for all that I have caused you. James came to my aid, and the pain has gone already," she responded, feeling sorry for what she did.

,

"No prob, Kaira, I am going to take her ho ,me by myself, and I believe she is going to be ok; I discovered she has a lot of words to say; maybe when I pester her, she 'l l talk more" he expressed himself.

Lisa was breathing heavily because she was exhausted, and all her clothes were dirty.

"Maybe she was attacked by some rogue," my wolf Ziva spoke, and I felt bitter due to what I caused her, but I decided to let go of the feeling.

James Carry Lisa on his back and they head home straight.

*********************

"What happened to you? " Who did this to you, my beautiful girl? " My mom asked me; she moved closer to embracing me.

Kaira's face looked so pale, and her forehead was still plastered; the blood had dried.

"You are looking so pale; please answer me," River was panicking; her hands were shaking due to the state she saw her daughter.

"Mum, some of my classmates who were boys mistakenly threw the ball at me, and it hit my head, but I was not that hurt," she responded, and her face was gloomy.

"Oh, please come and have your seat." She gave her a beautiful couch.

Kaira sat down and was breathing heavily; she didn't want to tell her mum what happened to her friend, so she decided to talk because they were gist partners.

"I can see that you're forehead was well plastered, so who administers all these on you? " Luna River asked her daughter, putting her hands on the bandage and checking it very well.

" Mum, James did it for me, and I am so happy; you know he is my friend, and he supports me a lot," she responded calmly, her face still pale.

Different kinds of thoughts ran through her Brain thinking maybe she should tell her mom what happened.

"How is my father?" She asked, looking worried. Luna River Left her, and she sat down on the couch.

"He has gone to train some young omega; they requested for him, and he took them to the training ground," she murmured those words to her.

She crossed her legs and started smiling.

"What are you going to eat?" I can see that you are famished and you look so stressed already" she asked feeling concerned.

" Thanks, mum, I don't feel like eating anything because I am full already; you gave me some amount of money; I used it to get some snacks and soft drinks in the school buttery," she replied, and her mouth curled into a smile.

Kaira is a young lady who is always contented with what she has, even though some of her friends do bring a lot of fo,od she is not bother,ed and she doesn't envy them.

River stood up, she was not comfortable with what her daughter said.

"I want to get you some noodles or spaghetti. You can't just come from the school, and you are telling me you are not eating anything; it is not possible." She clenched her fist and clasped her hands in annoyance.

Kaira smiles because she knows her mother will not take it lightly with her if she doesn't eat anything.

"Ok, Mom, your wish is my command," she responded quietly, and her face lit up.

"Why are you hindering your mom from cooking for you when you know that you are just pretending? " her wolf spoke, smiling at her.

She just ignored the words and she kept massaging the bandage.

Then her mom came out with a tray filled with spaghetti sauce and a juice drink.

Being the only daughter of Rivers, she is ready to do anything for her, eventhough Alpha Gareth detests her a lot she is not bothered being a strong Luna.

She placed it on the dining table, expecting her to come and eat.

Kaira raises up one of her fingers, trying to tell her mom she is coming.

"Ok, Mom, I am coming. Just give me a few minutes to rest more because my bones are weak, and I feel exhausted," she sounded, feeling tired, forcing a smile.

"No, I don't want to hear any words from your mouth; please come over here and eat before the food gets cold; you detest cold food a lot," she barked at her.

" Ok, I have heard you, Mom; I am coming right now if that is what you want," she responded sharply.

Kaira sat down comfortably on the designed dining chair.

She took the fork and started scooping the spaghetti into her mouth and she was rushing it.

River discovered that she was famished through the way she was eating.

She was just observing her, she placed her two hands on the dining.

"You can't tell me to join you in eating?" She interrogated her jokingly.

Kaira dropped her head down. She was feeling shy, and then she kept laughing so hard she didn't know when one of the strands of spaghetti pulled out from the fork, and the fork fell on the table.

River discovered she was the one that caused her laughter so she decided to keep quiet.

"So you can't maintain table manners, you this girl, you are now a grown-up wolf; I know that you are going to be a strong beta in this tackle pack; get ready to undergo a lot of training," she exposed those words to her.

Kaira stopped eating, and she kept mute; her mouth was wide open, expressing shock because of what she was hearing from her mother.

"Mum, I don't want to go to war between our enemies pack like Dad; I don't want to undergo any training," she responded, shaking her head in disbelief.

River hmmm and she was quiet for a short while pondering on those words she just said.

"I am the Luna of this pack, which means I am the second in command, so I can make enough decisions for you, so you can't tell me not what to do," she spoke, her brow furrowed, and her face was full with rage.

Kaira expressed a gloomy sigh; she had heard a lot about warriors who were killed during the strong war, and she was afraid of getting killed.

"Mum, I just don't want to go to the war just like Dad. You know he hates me, and he doesn't like me at all; if there is a war and I follow him, he will get rid of me immediately," she responded, eating her food.

She poured the soft drinks inside the glass cup; the color was so creamy and nice.

Kaira was wowed because the juice color was so nice.

She sips the juice and warms spread through her soothing comfort. The juice aroma fills the air, and she is so happy because it tastes sweet and velvety.

"Mum, thank you for the juice; it tastes nice," she responded with a controlled smile.

"Thank the moon goddess, my love; I was blessed the day I gave birth to you; concerning the discussion we heard a few minutes ago, I want to remind you to start preparing for training," she announced, staring intensely with a pierced gaze.

"Yes, she is going for the training, even though we don't know where she evolved from," a strong and sharp voice echoes towards us.

She stood up where I was sitting, scrutinizing the place where the sound was coming from.

Kaira was shocked and surprised to learn that Alpha Gareth's bodyguard was around at that time. As she turned to face him, she saw his face contorted with rage. She had no idea what offense she had committed this time.

Beta Harold hated Kaira with a passion. He often punished her, subjecting her to endless maltreatment. Despite this, Kaira accepted her fate, believing that things would eventually turn around, even if she couldn't see it yet.

He moved closer to her and smacked her back, which was covered by a long silk gown. Kaira let out a sharp cry. River, who had been observing the situation, rushed to Harold and grabbed his hand.

Harold, clever and quick to respond, moved away from her and mocked them instead. He clasped his hands defensively and laughed hysterically, staring at Kaira from head to toe.

"What kind of child do you think you gave birth to? Do you really believe she can stay here forever? I know you love her dearly," Beta Harold said furiously as he approached Kaira.

He reached out, intending to strangle her. But River, shaking in pain, rushed to her daughter's aid. "Please don't kill her because of me! I know you hate her, but let her be!" she yelled, gripping her black polo shirt.

Harold's face twisted with rage, and he released Kaira from his grip but twisted her arm painfully. "Just thank the moon goddess that I didn't strangle her to death. I decided to let her go out of pity," he spat, his words dripping with contempt.

Kaira's face wrinkled with fear as she cried and trembled. Harold was one of Alpha Gareth's strongest men.

Luna River moved closer to her daughter, placing a hand on Kaira's shoulder and rubbing her forehead. "Please don't be upset about what Harold did. I'm so sorry. I want you to feel calm because the hatred will eventually stop," she spoke softly to Kaira.

"No problem, Mom. I know Beta Harold hates me with passion, but that won't stop me from knowing that I belong to this pack, and no one can take that away from me," Kaira replied, resting her head on her mother's shoulder.

"I love you, Kaira. You are a special child of the moon goddess," River responded warmly. The two embraced tightly, unwilling to let go.

Beta Harold, watching them in silence, broke the quietness. "Mother and daughter, I can see you both don't want to listen to me. Fine, I'll leave you alone," he mocked, letting out a sinister laugh.

"Please go away, Harold. I don't want to see you again," River protested, her brow furrowed in anger.

Harold quietly slipped away, tiptoeing out of the living room as he closed the door behind him. Once the door was shut, River released her hold on Kaira, gently running her fingers through her daughter's blonde hair.

"I want you to know that you are not cursed. Just believe that. I am here for you; please ignore your father's behavior," River said confidently, and Kaira took a deep breath.

River scrutinized Kaira's forehead and noticed the bruises marking her skin. "Who did this to you? Why is there so much happening on your face? Your forehead is bruised, my baby," River asked in concern.

Kaira's face reflected shock, her eyes wide and unfocused. She remained silent, pulling away from her mother and choosing to sit down on the couch. She hung her head in shame.

River moved closer and placed her hands on Kaira's head. "You're frightening me, Kaira. What do you want me to do for you right now? Why can't you just tell me?" River asked, her voice turning harsh.

Kaira lifted her head and forced a smile. "I'm so sorry, Mom. Lisa and I went to the playground, but the football court was closed. One of the boys kicked a ball, and it hit my forehead. I got hurt," Kaira explained, her expression shifting back to guilt.

"Why can't you be more careful? You know I don't want anyone to hurt you, my beloved daughter," River said seriously.

Kaira lowered her head, feeling shy and avoiding eye contact with her mother. "Mom, I don't want you to worry too much about what happened. Can you get me some food?" Kaira requested.

"Okay, let me get it for you. But first, I need to get some pain relief balm to make you feel better. I don't want your forehead to get disfigured," River replied, placing a comforting hand on Kaira's.

River stood up and went through the door. Kaira took a deep breath and put her finger to her lips, thinking about something.

I need to call Lisa to check on her. I don't want her to feel upset.

She walked over to a brown shelf where a big phone lay idly. She picked it up and dialed Lisa's number, but it went unanswered.

Frustrated and angry, Kaira sat down. She loved Lisa and wanted to ensure she was okay.

Kaira dialed the number again, and Lisa picked up.

"Hello, Lisa. How are you feeling now? I hope you're feeling strong," she inquired about her well-being.

"Yes, thank you very much. I've been trying to reach you because I was feeling uneasy. When I got home, I went straight to the bedroom and took a nap," Lisa replied calmly.

"I hope you applied some balm to your forehead. Is your mom with you?" Kaira asked.

"She went to the nearest pharmacy inside our pack to get some medicine," Lisa relayed.

"Okay, she's getting you some medication. I want you to take care of yourself. Have you started reading?" Lisa asked, trying to be inquisitive.

"Not yet." Kaira touched her neck and felt pain starting to return.

She smiled, and then the pain in her neck disappeared.

"Okay, I'll start reading today," Lisa said before they ended their call.

Kaira stood up in amazement; she had felt intense pain when Harold had strangled her. She was unable to twist her neck before, but now the pain had vanished.

"Wow, the pain is gone! I really thank the Moon Goddess," she exclaimed, her mouth curling into a smile.

She went to her room to check herself in the mirror.

"I look so beautiful, but why am I rejected by men? I don't have boyfriends like my peers. I face rejection all the time," she said to herself, and tears began to roll down her cheeks.

She walked majestically around the room, then suddenly thought of James.

"I haven't heard from James. He's the only friend I have. Why is he behaving this way? I'm 18 now, and in just a couple of years, I'll be 19. Maybe James won't reject me like the others."

"You are loved and special, Kaira; just have confidence in yourself," Ziva, her beautiful wolf, encouraged her.

Then she noticed footsteps approaching, and her heart began to pound, beating faster in her chest.

"Kaira, I have searched for you everywhere. Why did you make me a suspect? I bought the drugs and balm for you," River spoke calmly to Kaira.

She placed the white packet filled with drugs and some syrup on her bed.

River moved closer to Kaira and began checking her forehead carefully.

"The scars are gone already! How were you able to do it? Did you apply anything on it?" she checked her forehead again.

"Mum, I don't know how it happened. I just discovered that the pain I was having in my neck disappeared instantly. It was just like magic!" Kaira responded excitedly, narrowing her eyes.

"That means you have supernatural powers beyond recognition," River said, placing her hands on her lips.

"Please don't tell anyone that you have supernatural powers. I don't want people to hurt you," she told Kaira, gently fondling her hands on her frail forehead.

She helped Kaira onto the bed, knelt down, and started massaging every part of her body. After a few minutes, she finished.

"Okay, so the drug I bought for you is going to be a waste," she said softly, filled with affection.

"Mum, don't worry about it. I am feeling fine and better," Kaira responded softly, standing up to look at her mom.

Just then, her phone rang. She left River and walked over to answer it.

It was Beta James. She wasn't expecting his call at that moment, but maybe he wanted to tell her something important.

Kaira picked up the call.

"Hello, James! I've been expecting your call. Why did it take you so long?" she interrogated him sharply, her tone playful.

"Don't worry, Kaira. I am so sorry! I've been busy doing something for my father. You know he is strict," he replied.

Kaira felt relaxed and relieved, smiling.

"I am expecting you at my house. My dad has gone to visit one of his friends. Can you come right now?" he commanded.

Kaira nodded, her face lighting up. She touched her temple and laughed.

"Okay, I will be on my way right now!" she responded, her teeth showing in a wide grin.

She hung up the phone and began swaying her waist, unaware that her mother was watching her.

"I can see that you're happy. Who was that on the phone just now?" River asked, placing her hands on her hips, her eyes wide with surprise.

Kaira stopped dancing and shook slightly, as her mom's voice was deep and authoritative.

"Oh, Mom, I didn't know you were watching me! James called me. We made plans. I'll be on my way in a few minutes," she said, a smile plastered on her face.

"Okay, my dear. I can tell James must be a nice guy because he's making you happy," River responded confidently, relaxing her arms.

Kaira walked excitedly to her bedroom, moving with a graceful confidence.

She smiled to herself, heading to the wardrobe where her bags were kept.

She slipped on her shoes, applied some makeup, and smoothed down her green bodycon gown, which had a V-shape.

"Mum, I'm going to visit James! Please take care of yourself," Kaira called, waving her hands as she left.

****************************************

"Kaira, thanks for the visit!" he said, hugging her passionately and kissing her.

Kaira felt a warm sensation and noted a pleasant fragrance.

"James is your destined mate," Ziva whispered to Kaira.

"Please be quiet, Ziva. I want you to know that James is just a friend, even though I'm feeling this way," Kaira replied.

James walked over to the bar where he kept some beer and wine.

Kaira watched him intently as he poured drinks.

James approached her with two glasses and a bottle of red wine.

"I want you to relax, my dear. My mum and dad are gone for a while; we're going to enjoy ourselves," James announced loudly.

"I can see," Kaira said, taking in her surroundings before locking eyes with James, where a spark ignited.

"I can feel it inside me that you are my mate, Kaira. I hope you're not feeling shy," James murmured.

He moved closer, placing his hands on her waist and began kissing her forehead and cheeks.

"You look so beautiful and cute, my darling," he whispered softly.

As he started flirting, Kaira found herself responding enthusiastically due to her excitement.

Before long, the two of them kissed passionately, pouring their feelings into the connection as they devoured each other's lips.

James pressed against Kaira, his desire evident as he didn't realize that his arousal had caused him to become exposed.

Noticing it, Kaira placed her hands on his trousers and began teasing him playfully.

"I can't wait to lick your cock" Kaira spoke like an hungry woman.

James pressed his body on her and he started unbuttoning her shirt, she was only with brazier that was showing her pointed big breasts.

He put his hands on the Brazier and started massaging her breast.

He removed one of it and started licking the nipples of the breasts,he started devouring it, Kaira was moaning underneath, she was enjoying the pleasure.

" Can we have a sweet sex" he spoke and carry her to his bedroom.

James bedroom was so spacious, large,huge, beautiful, there were musicians designed and footballers designed on the wall.

There was a picture of naked man and woman having sex with each other on the wall.

James place her on the bedroom.

He removed her gown, panties and brazier and then James removed his shirt, trousers and panties, they were ready to explore each other.

James was on top of her and started thrusting her cock inside Kaira hole releasing some fluid and then the pleasure began.

Kaira moaned in pleasure and smile at him.

"Ride me baby " she encouraged him.

The sensation of his hard and thick rod hitting her core was mind blowing. He began to move beneath her thrusted his cock and kaira moaned as her body ignited in pleasure.

"Fuck you are tight baby", her pussy clenched around him and she felt his release coming closer. He kept stroking in and out inside her.

"I want your dick inside me please fuck me harder " Kaira cried out in enjoyment.

James thrusted inside her, her eyes were shut head fell back with a gasp.

She wrapped her legs around his ass,her heels dug further into it as he pushed her to the edge once more.

He took one of her nipples in his mouth licking and sucking it again which intensify the pleasure. He began to move faster,his heavy balls slapped against her ass.

James took legs and placed them on top of his shoulder,her breath hitched when his fingers traced down her cunt,his eyes were full of arousal as his fingers entered her and she arched her back and he started stroking.

"Let me fuck you with my mouth" he spoke to her.

He lowered his hot mouth onto her and started sucking her pussy till she cum.

Then the two of them collapsed on the bed.

James felt tired and he quickly put on his clothes, but Kaira still wrapped the duvet around her body.

The heat came again and then he felt it, within a twinkle of an eye.

He decided to talk

"Kaira I am so happy I enjoy you, because you are sweet on the bed,sex with you is superb, but............"James stuttered.
