Kayla's POV. "I just wished I had never met Alpha Reynolds. I wish I had never come across him for the second time in my life," I whispered to myself, sitting up on my bed, my eyes glancing at the door, consumed by a sense of regret.The events of that night flooded back into my mind, and I couldn't help but clench my fist in wrath, the visceral memories reigniting a surge of anger within me.Regret crept in as I reflected on sleeping with him, especially considering how he treated me right in front of Ava. The weight of the consequences gnawed at me, and remorse lingered in the air.He could have easily sent me away, but he didn't. He had the audacity to yell at me after claiming that I tempted him. "Men will always be men!" I scoffed, a bitter edge in my tone, as I climbed out of bed and marched directly into the bathroom, the regrets still evident in my sentiments.It was still early in the morning, but it was the weekend, so I wasn't going to work and wouldn't be meeting Alpha
Reynolds' POV. "Alpha, you know you shouldn't have done that!" Beta Luke spoke to me as he stood in my room, his head bowed to the ground. "And what do you mean by that?" I inquired, my brow wrinkled as I gazed at him. "I mean no offence, Alpha Reynolds, but Willson is Kayla's friend, and she might have misunderstood what had transpired between you two!""I bet he won't tell her the truth!" Beta Luke declared with his head still bowed down What he said was in no way a lie. I knew Willson a bit, and he was above all cunning. There was a good chance he would lie to Kayla about all that had happened. He would never tell her the truth about why I had beaten him up. I had attempted to contain my wrath when he mocked me, but the moment he criticised my precious little princess, I couldn't help but show him that he meant nothing to me. "It isn't my fault she has such cunning friends, Luke!" I remarked in a deep voice, regretting not going back home with Willson to see and inform Kayla
REYNOLDS' POV.Murmurs erupted amidst the crowd as I climbed up the stage with a smile on my face, sure Ava clung to me just as Adora had done. She nudged me slowly by my legs and poked at my arms when she wanted me to lift her up.“Not now, Princess.” I whispered to her with a smile but she was not having it.After a few seconds, I resulted in carrying her up into my arms, more cheers came from the crowd and then I cleared my throat slowly.“Thank you all for this warm welcome. I appreciate the help, the love shown towards me and how everyone in the pack had helped in ensuring our safety these past few days. The pack had turned blissful and became just as fruitful and as your Alpha wanted it.""It made me more than happy to see how well things had worked for us… and…” My words were cut short as more noises came from the crowd.Everyone was happy, Adora fiddled with the hem of my dress as my eyes darted around in the crowd.At this point, I couldn't help but find myself thinking abou
REYNOLDS' POV."Get away from her!" I shouted again, lifting Adora in my arms. My eyes remained locked on Ava, who still appeared shocked and hadn't snapped out of it.“What the hell is wrong with you? What's your problem?" I questioned, anger evident in my voice as I glared at Ava. She gathered herself, wearing a disappointed expression, but it seemed more like she was upset about getting caught than genuinely remorseful. The tension in the air thickened as I awaited an explanation.“Are you done with the speech? Weren't you up now?" she interjected hastily. Her words didn't align with what I needed to hear; her excuse didn't sit well with me, and I wasn't pleased.“Do not test me Ava, what the hell were you doing? She's your child and you hit her?! Do you have any idea how important she is?""What if people find you? She's a freaking kid for fuck sake and you had better start giving me a sensible explanation before I get mad at you!" I complained, my words eased up to her while sh
REYNOLDS' POV.Collapsing into the chair, a glass clutched in my hand, my gaze shot up to the ceiling. I downed more of the contents, feeling my belly churn and my entire body ache. Thoughts raced through my mind, and I remained glued to the seat, drowning in a whirlpool of emotions.Three agonising days had passed, three entire days, and Adora remained elusive. Hour after hour, news reached me, each time echoing the same heartbreaking message; she had not been found. The weight of helplessness and weakness bore down on me. As an alpha, strong and wealthy, I had provided help to countless others, yet I couldn't find my own child. My predicament mocked the very essence of my existence.I downed the remaining contents in the glass as the door slowly creaked open. It was Ava. At first, she peeked her head behind the door, then pushed it further open. I swallowed hard, locking eyes with her. She irked me and fueled my anger. I was done with her, had nothing more to say, and wanted
REYNOLDS' POV.“Adora?” I called out her name into the phone as relief instantly washed over me.“Where are you, who is with you?" I asked with a smile of relief on my face."Please tell me who's there?" I questioned again, my grip on the phone still tight."Hello? Alpha Reynolds..." a familiar voice called through the phone. I knew the voice so well and I was certain that I wasn't mistaken."Kayla?" I called back, my heart pounding. Luke stopped the car abruptly, confusion washing over both of us in the tense silence that followed."Please tell me, why the hell is my child with you?" I asked abruptly, biting down on my tongue, unsure of what to think as a wave of emotions surged within me."Stay calm, Alpha Reynolds. I'll text you an address, and you can come pick her up." The call ended before I could say anything else. I exchanged glances with Luke, who remained silent, his eyes still fixed on me.A message beeped into my phone, and I instantly turned the screen toward Luke, who no
REYNOLDS' POV.I stepped out of the car, and right on cue, I realised I was correct; something had indeed gone wrong with her."Get the heck away from her!" I yelled at them. They were thugs, with clothes wrapped above their noses, concealing their identity. Everything felt wrong, yet strangely off. The air hung heavy with an unsettling tension.They were frightened, clearly not anticipating anyone to be around or find them.The first one, with a blue cloth over his face, lunged at me, wielding a plank. I engaged, throwing punches into the air with a visceral determination. Some of my blows connected with him, but I didn't care about the hits. My sole focus was inflicting the same pain upon him that they intended for Kayla.The plank slammed against my knee, forcing me to bend as I crashed hard onto the floor, bruises forming instantly. Gritting my teeth, I pushed myself up, clutching the plank with my right arm. With a swift punch, I knocked him off his feet, and he winced in pain
KAYLA'S POV.I stirred in bed, a pounding ache resonating through my head. A loud noise reverberated, causing me to clutch the sides of my temples in agony. The pain was overwhelming, and I yearned for relief to come swiftly. Weakness enveloped me, and a sense of hopelessness settled in as the pain persisted.My eyes slowly popped open, and as I glanced around, the occurrences of the previous day crept back into my consciousness. Everything felt wrong, and a sense of self-disgust washed over me. I couldn't help but feel like I had made a fool of myself yet again.The room looked somewhat familiar, and after a bit of time, it finally registered to me. I was in the pack house, and the carvings in the room made me realise it was Reynolds' guest room. The awareness struck me that I shouldn't be there: it made no sense."Fuck!" I muttered in between breaths, my gaze shifting to my side. There was some sort of liquid slowly dripping through a tiny cord attached to my skin. As the reali
KAYLA'S POV."She's pregnant!" the physicians exclaimed as Reynold batted his eyelashes in my direction, a twisted expression on his face as he approached."She's what again? You had better be sure of your words." He issued a warning, and the doctors nodded and smiled."This is my job, and I really do assure you that not a single mistake would happen from my end, so yes, I know what I'm saying, and Miss Kayla here is pregnant." The motor replied once more, and I sat transfixed in my chair, unsure what to say."Are we having a baby?." Reynold inquired as he walked closer to him, his face devoid of expression, which disturbed me."Kayla! Did you hear that? We're having a baby!" He roared again, this time flooded all over me, and a sigh from my lips as he drew me into a warm hit, dropping on his feet, pulling closer to my tummy, and placing a peck there."I'll leave you two now to your privacy, but it is important that she needs treatments, and certain tests also need to be run." The doc
ALPHA REYNOLDS' POV."What do you mean by that?." I inquired, drawing closer to her as every conceivable wave of panic overtook me. Listening to her riles me up; as much as I doubted Ava's ability to be a mother, I also doubted her as someone and something else entirely."Why are you so surprised?! I would never have given a fuck about having children; you saw it with Jackson, and I was never pregnant either, and I guarantee you, there are things you can do, but you will never get the truth out of me." Ava explainedAs I approached her, I heard a high-pitched noise in my head."Oh, you had better start talking now; you think I'd give two fucks about you? After all of these sicknesses, did you pull a stunt? I asked, trying so hard to keep my rose buried, and it broke me down. "All I need is your word, and I will tell you everything, but first you have to promise I will not be harmed in any way."/I was desperate, but it still looked like a deception to me. Everything about her and the
ALPHA REYNOLDS' POV."Oh you poor thing, I am sorry. I should have been with you, stayed by your side. I'm sorry, Kayla. If you can hear me, then I want you to know that I am sorry for having the slightest doubt that you could have gone away on your own accord"" I'm sorry for making myself into a bloody, ungrateful person, a maniac at that. I'm sorry for not putting in more effort to find you. I am sorry for every fucked up thing that had happened."I wrapped my arms firmly around hers, not sure I could keep up anymore; I was insanely in love with her; I knew it the moment she left, the minute I held the letter in my hands, that I couldn't exist without her; I knew it the moment I cast my gaze over her, that nothing else mattered except her, and after hearing what Wilson had to say.I was determined to hold her in high regard; perhaps Wilson was spiteful and intended to get under my skin, but that didn't change the fact that what he said was nothing but the blatant truth, which left
ALPHA REYNOLDS' POV.As I felt sick to my nerves, a disgusted expression spread across my face."We can explain; it's not what you think to calm down Reynolds," she said, her voice breaking as she said."Explain what!" You bloody ingrate, you bounce around, pretending like I've been the worst to you, and you've got the bloody nerve to come up here and let yourself get fucked. Are you fucking crazy?""What the fuck is wrong with you?" I inquired as she shook with terror; the more she maintained her fake attitudes, the more enraged I became. I despise liars, cheaters, and backstabbers."I know you've been up to no good all along, so how about we do this the bloody easy way? Now tell me, where the hell is Kayla?" I asked, enraged.I was indignant and suspicious because of the way she spoke and acted throughout, yet all I had in my thoughts were ideas. With her, I knew I had to play smartly."I don't know what you are talking about." She lied, exactly like I had expected her to. I glanced
REYNOLDS' POV.I was no longer sure, what it I needed to day or do, I lit on the end again, free in a longer puff, it had been two weeks since Kayla had gone missing, nothing had been found so far, no traces on the men or maybe either, it turned out the man had spotted the blind suits perfectly well, his face was hidden.The registered plate numbers were all fake, but then again were safe, to be honest, that was all I needed, but for Kayla, it ruined me each minute as it passed by, nothing was working, nothing was gelling out, and it made me feel utterly useless.Like I had not mattered at all, seeing hid she had left, without dashing goodbye, left a more, my search for her had also proved to be futile, as receiving the pain for the second time, I had been forced to go through it when was kidnapped, or even had left with Kayla and I searched for her,How was it that I could find anything and everything from everyone else but I could not search to find people who mattered to me? I was
REYNOLDS' POV.Anger brewed in me for the second time yet again, Possibly, what was the whole talk about, my kid getting into trouble from someone else and I had bloody done nothing about it, I had remained stuck up and watched how she got herself into trouble, how much of a fucking dumb ass was I really…“ I need you to tell me, how many times has this happened to you?” I asked and she lifted her palms again, her mouth seeming surprised that she had told me about it out of mistake.And that made me even more worried, that something as such had happened and I bore no knowledge about it.“I need answers now! I have to know the truth, how many times have you been taken against your will?” I asked, my voice laced with rage, but that had not stopped me from thinking of a single thing, I knew what I wanted to know and it kept getting on my ears.“I promised Kayla I would not say a thing.” there it was, the question that made me by the edge, what had bloody transpired that she had wanted t
REYNOLDS' POV.I ran as fast as I could down the stairs and headed straight up for the entrance. There she was waiting with a smile on her face.“my little princess,” I called out towards her fondly, tucked her by my side and lifted her into the air,“What is this really about?” I asked Luke with a frown, he seemed a bit bothered and gestured for us to walk up the stairs.“Let's head on to my room. we'll talk there.” Luke responded, although I knew I wanted an immediate explanation, a sensible one it still has not fared out as I wanted it to do, I never thought of bringing anything or anyone who was a problem. but it dealt me a huge blow when it got down to me, shattered all veins in me when I got a call from the school saying Adora was still up and no one came for her.“stay here okay?” I'll get a maid to attend to you “ I spoke to her.“Where is Kayla? She was to pick me and Kayla never forgets about me like mommy does.” I gave her a wide smile and it warmed my heart that Finally,
AVA'S POV.Anger brewed the more within me as I pushed open the door, I knew they were together, I found out the truth already, I knew about their affair, but when I found out she sounded all peaceful and innocent like she was never going to repeat it, she had begged for a chance at the life of her child, she had pleaded with me for two weeks, saying she wanted to be with her child…Rather than that, she had gotten herself winded back up with Reynolds, and just when I thought I was the bad person, it turned out she was even more sneaky of a bitch than I was…She was so fucked up, totally crazy and she had gotten the guts the mind, the fucking audacity to speak in such manners to me. Was she fucking kidding me?.The words made me bitter or blew me off the trail, I could not help it as I thought back to the spot.“get, the fuck! Away from her!.” I yelled at the top of my lungs as Reynold moved away from the end, fury building up continuously in me, oh they had outdone themselves, tested
REYNOLDS' POV.Fuck…. I was hard on her, all the way, it was insane. I had such immediate sexual attraction just after some talks and feasting my eyes over her.I ran my tongue over my lower lips as I pulled closer towards her.Her eyes trailed at my full length, I saw the glint in her eyes, she was crazy for it, she wanted it, I knew it, slowly she reached for me, my dick twitched the more from excitement,It was pleasant for me. The feeling.The warmth flowed through me, down to the cap as blood surged towards the point, causing me to be more erect than I was….. I wanted her.She climbed on her knees, propped her body up and laid her hands firmly on my butt, pulled me closer while she stared at me with an even brighter glint.“what?” I asked her slowly as a wicked smile formed against her lips.She tugged hard at my butt, pulled me closer and ran her tongue slowly over the cap of my cock leaving me somewhat shivery. I loved how intense the feeling I got was.Slowly, carefully she pu
