Scarred Luna

Trigger



Kieran’s POV

I sucked in a mouthful of air as I paced around my room. I was furious, no, infuriated and no matter how hard I tried to calm myself down, it just didn’t work. The mere thought of it was more than enough to make me run mad with fury, but I just couldn’t stop myself from thinking about it.

How dare she? Who the hell does she think she is? Just because she was dressed in some snazzy uniform didn’t give her the right to talk to me like she owned me. If we were to really compare it, I had every right over her than she had over me. It hadn’t been up to twenty four hours and she was already showing her true colors? I just knew she was a green snake under the green grass. From her stupid uniform to everything else, I knew she couldn’t be trusted. I just don’t know how Alpha Xander could make such a big mistake and…

Ughhhh

“Relax, Kieran.” I shook my head slowly. There was no use venting to myself about Alice. All it was doing was making me mad all over again and I didn’t like it. I wasn’t exactly great at reeling in my anger, so I tried my level best not to explode all the time. I’d been doing a great job honestly, but now that Alice has arrived, I wasn’t so sure I could keep up with it anymore. “Take a deep and slow breath. She really isn’t worth a second of your time and you know this.” I said as I calmed myself.

I inhaled and exhaled a couple of times, willing myself to stay calm. It worked for a couple of minutes, until a thought popped up in my head.

Alice had eyes for Xander. She had eyes for the Alpha.

Shit.

I muttered a string of curses under my breath. If I cursed out loud, I wasn’t sure I’d be able to stop.

‘But I assure you, I have bigger plans and I have my eyes on bigger things’ her voice rang in my head again.

She wasn’t even trying to be subtle about it. She’d made me know from the start that she was ready for war, and by the goddess I would return the same energy she was giving out.

I huffed out loud, as my eyes scanned my room. My gaze darted from one point to the other until I finally found what I was looking for; my flip flops. I skipped into the comfy bunny footwear and headed down the stairs. I didn’t have a particular destination, but I knew I was searching for someone; Sabrina.

I was sure she was aware a new maid would be joining us today, but I doubted she knew she had already arrived. And if that was the case, I had taken it upon myself to warn her of the menace alpha Xander had decided to hire.

I continued my tour around the mansion as I searched for Sabrina. I had popped into her room first, but she was nowhere to be found. Next, I checked out the kitchen, but she wasn’t there either. I was this close to giving up, but for the sake of this Mansion, I wasn’t going to stop.

My next destination was the garden and I had almost gotten to the backdoor, when a sound from the right caught my attention.

“Sabrina?” I whispered underneath my breath. I wasn’t totally sure, but it sounded just like her.

Carefully, I tiptoed towards the source of the sound. It came off as little whispers, but eventually, I was able to trace the source of the commotion to the dinning room. My grin widened when I realized Sabrina was in there, but it fell again the moment I realized she wasn’t alone. She was with Alice.

Anger and rage nipped at my skin at this revelation. How had she gotten to Sabrina so quickly? The plan was to get to Sabrina first and not the other way around. How was I supposed to…

“Wait.” I paused. By now, both Alice and I knew we didn’t like each other and a literal battle line had been drawn. I knew little to nothing about the little devil, but I knew for a fact that she wouldn’t stop until she had done something bad to me or my image.

Was she starting off with Sabrina? Oh hell, no.

Panic swirled in the pit of my stomach immediately. Yes, Sabrina and I had had a bit of a rough patch in the past, but that didn’t mean I wanted it to repeat itself. If Alice were to successfully turn Sabrina against me then it would break me. Sabrina was literally my only friend in the whole mansion and the thought of us no longer being friends hurt as hell.

No, I shook my head. There was no way I would sit back and allow Alice and her evil machinations to succeed. It just wasn’t possible. I was just about to barge in there when someone’s voice reached my ears.

“Hold it right there, young woman!” It was Sabrina, and if her high octave meant anything, I could easily deduce that she wasn’t pleased. At all. “What the hell do you think you’re doing?”

“What does it look like?” I could already tell from the bitchy undertone that it was none other than Alice. ” I know you’re old, but you’re certainly not blind, are you?”

“How dare you?” I couldn’t exactly see Sabrina’s full form because I was peeking, but I could tell her cheeks were red from anger. “How dare you talk to me like that?!”

“I will talk to you however I please.” Alice scoffed. “In case you missed the memo, I’m now the one in charge of the mansion and how it’s being run, so I can make changes whenever I like.”

“Not under my watch, you can’t” Sabrina wasn’t having it at all. “You wouldn’t dare change anything without my permission! You’ve only been here for…”

“Yes.” I did a mini dance in my head. ” Scold her so much that…”

“So much that what?” I froze at the voice behind me. I felt the hairs at the back of my neck stand on end as I figured what had just happened. Someone was behind me and it wasn’t Alice or Sabrina.NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

“Alpha!” I chorused as I turned around immediately. The moment I did, I was pressed flush against his chest, with nothing but an inch keeping us apart. “Xander, I mean, I didn’t see you there.”

“Of course.” Xander smirked. For a moment, I totally forgot I just might have gotten in trouble because he was looking as handsome as ever. ” You were busy eavesdropping.”

“No!” I replied abruptly, too abruptly if you asked me. I felt heat rush to my cheeks as I realized my mistake. “I mean, I wasn’t. I was just waiting for them to finish up.”

“And?” I sucked in a deep breath as he pressed his hand against the wall, just next to the side of my head. My breath hitched in my throat as he did the same with his second hand, trapping me in between his body and the wall.

“And.” I suddenly lost the ability to speak. For some strange reason, I could no longer get my mouth to make words. “And…”

The rest of my words died in my throat as I found myself gazing into his eyes.

I was so caught up in how mesmerizing they were that I didn’t realize Xander’s hand on my waist. Shock waves jolted me out of my trance and I flinched. I pressed my eyes shut as unpleasant memories flooded my mind

I tried to push them back, but no matter how hard I tried, they came back in ten folds. I honestly thought I’d forgotten them, but apparently they were just suppressed. Memories of me being sexual assaulted by Alpha Lucas flooded my mind.

“Kieran?” Xander’s voice reached my ears. “Are you okay?”

“Yes, yes.” I huffed almost out of breath. I felt the air around me dry up immediately and I wanted nothing more than to get out of here. “But don’t touch me.”

“What? I don’t understand…” he started to say, confusion clear in his tone.

“Don’t touch me!” I yelled, causing him to jump back immediately. Using that as an opportunity to escape, I ran as fast as my legs could carry me, away from Alpha Xander and farther away from the memories of Alpha Lucas that refused to let me be.
