Cian!!!
“Good morning, Kiara.”
“Good morning, alpha Lucas.” Kiara bowed upon entering his presence. Ava was in his inner chambers in his bedroom, while Lucas and Kiara where in the lounge, the outer chambers, but Ava could hear their conversation perfectly.
“You requested to see me?”
“Yes master.”
“For what?”
“I am terribly sorry for what I am about to say master, but I cannot continue going to the camps with Beta Cian master.”
Lucas appeared puzzled, it was an offence to refuse any duty assigned to you by the alpha, but for Kiara, Lucas could always make an exception.
“And why is that?” He asked softly.
“Well, it’s just that I’m going through a lot right now…”
Lucas let out a sigh. “Say no more Kiara, I understand. In fact, I apologize, I shouldn’t have tried to overwhelm you with so many requests after the rejection. Please accept my apologies.”
“No offence taken master.”
“Is that all you wanted to see me for?”
“Yes, alpha Lucas, that is all.”
“Very well then, I will inform Cian and put someone else in your place to keep assisting him. You should take some time to rest and relieve your mind off the stress.”
“Thank you master.”
She was about to leave before… “And one more thing Kiara.”
She turned back to face him.
“If there’s anything, anything at all, at any point in time bothering you, remember that you can always come to me. I’ve still got your back Kiara, no matter what you can always come to me for help.”
She smiled, nodded her head and bowed in response, before exiting his chambers.
Finally, she’d done it. After three whole days of avoiding Cian, she’d gotten off the assignment. She loved the trips she’d taken with him and everything, but every single passing moment she spends with him messes up her heart in ways she’s uncomfortable with. She’s been avoiding him since after that night they had intercourse. It was unexpected, and of course foolish of her to sleep with him, not even once, but she didn’t know what came over her that night, she thought as she sighed. Avoiding him was not doing any good as he always kept on looking for ways to approach her, to talk about what happened. She doesn’t want to talk about it, she doesn’t want to give into her feelings anymore. The best thing to would be just to bury the whole thing and never bring it up again, and the best way to make herself scarce was getting off this assignment so he would have less chances to approach her.
She went straight downstairs for breakfast after leaving alpha Lucas’s chambers. She’d promised to help Nani set the tables today. After helping out, the breakfast bell was rung and all the dawners came down to eat. Alpha Lucas and his mate also joined them for breakfast today. Ava even chose to sit beside her for some reason she didn’t know.
After breakfast, as Kiara was about to stand up, Ava held her hand.
“What is the matter?” Kiara asked.
“Forgive me Kiara, I couldn’t help but eavesdrop on the conversation between you and Lucas this morning.”
“Oh!”
“I’m sorry, but I couldn’t help but notice that something was bothering you.”
