KAYLA'S POV.As I gently stroked her hair, a warm smile spread across my face. Watching her sleep, snuggled up and sniffling softly, she seemed so young, so innocent, and utterly adorable. She was like a precious gem, as stunning as the stars above and as serene as a calm, peaceful sea. At that moment, overwhelmed with love, I couldn't help but marvel at how effortlessly she grasped the world around her.She was my world, my daughter, the very heartbeat of my existence. Nothing mattered more to me than her well-being, yet despite my deepest intentions, I had faltered. Life had been unkind, and I had stumbled along the way, making mistakes and feeling like a fool.Oh, how I wished I could turn back the hands of time. If only I could rewrite the past, perhaps things would be different. But alas, I had let my guard down for too long, allowing myself to be swept away by fear and uncertainty. I should have confided in Reynold, should have shared the truth with him from the moment I di
Ava's POV.Whenever I find myself in her presence, it feels like I'm wading through a never-ending swamp of nonsense. By the time I reach her, I'm already exhausted and fed up. I simply can't deal with it anymore.After enduring her company for what felt like an eternity, I finally decided to leave. Starting up the car's engine, I drove back home. Arriving at my house, I found the door unlocked, which irritated me even further."Mother?!" I called out, the sound of my voice reverberating through the empty halls."Who's there?" her voice responded. I could hear her footsteps drawing nearer as she approached me. When she finally saw me, her face creased with lines of worry."Oh, Ava," she exclaimed, taking me by the arm and guiding me to a seat.As she gazed at me with a mixture of concern and frustration, her words hung in the air like heavy clouds, laden with unspoken questions and misunderstandings."Could you please shed some light on what's been going on?" she implored, her voice t
AVA'S POV."What do you feel like you need to do or say that you can't do right here?" she inquired, her words hanging in the air as I listened intently. Despite her prideful demeanour, I couldn't shake the doubt creeping in about whether my plan would succeed.As her presence grated on my nerves, I struggled to suppress the overwhelming urge to lash out at her. The mere sight of her filled me with an irrational anger, and I found myself fantasising about inflicting physical harm upon her."Please, Kayla," I pleaded, my voice tinged with remorse. "I know I've wronged you, and I'm truly sorry. You're a good person, and I'm here to make things right. Please, just let me in again…" Despite my plea, I could sense her resistance, her reluctance to fully let her guard down."I would not dare trust you, but I can't stand here, I might get into trouble if Adora or Alpha Reynolds see me with you and get the wrong meaning again." Our gazes met as her eyes drilled into mine; she pushed open t
Ava's POV.I watched as Kayla made her way back to the table, and I kept the same fake, odd smile plastered on my face.“Your drink.” I pointed it out and gestured to it as she raised her glass toward her lips.“Sorry, who is paying? '' a waitress called out of the blue as she stood closer to me. A frown settled on my face as I turned towards her. I was pissed. I was so close to seeing Kayla sipping the drink, but there was an unnecessary interruption at the wrong time that made her move it away from her lips.“I am. What is it that you want? Do we look like people who can't afford a fucking drink to you?” I asked with my words and voice laced with anger. I was not pleased; it irked me out."Ava, calm down.” Kayla chirped in, but I waved her off.“Seriously? She interrupts our nice time, and I get to be the devil?” I asked Kayla, who took a long puff of breath.“I'm paying, so what?” I asked with disgust written all over my face.“Please, it's our policy here that you pay after order
KAYLA'S POV.The odd silence remained thick in the air. I glanced towards Alpha Reynolds, who was busy cutting his beef into smaller pieces, and then I glanced back up at Ava.She seemed furious; she had been away for the past few days. I didn't mind; in fact, I loved how I riled her up, although it had not sat right with me, the little part of her still in the house. But I understood his reasons; he could not let go of Adora, and neither could I, but I didn't like it.She sat like an owl with her huge eyes prying directly into our lives. I made it a conclusion, one at which there were no remedies; she was just herself; not a single thing was going to change her; she was fucked up for all I cared.“Why aren't you eating? Anything bothering you?” He asked out of the blue, and I smiled before taking a drink from the glass.“Nothing, I'm fine.” I finally added in as I placed my gaze back on my plate.“Yeah, which reminds me, I have a guest coming over... a brother of mine, he should b
Kayla's POV.I shuddered from fright; my eyes wandered around as I searched in vain for what to say. I could not have anything fucked up at the moment, not when I had gotten so far and close to this.“I'm sorry, didn't you hear me? Won't you answer my fucking question?" he yelled this time.“Please… Your voice, keep it down.” I must admit that I clenched my teeth and swallowed hard; things were not looking good on my end."What if I don't do so?" He snarled with a deep, daunting voice."Jackson, wait, we can talk this through; I'll explain, but I need your word first; you would not tell Alpha Reynolds, please.” I pleaded, but he floated freely and stared down at me with an equally terrible look."It depends, you know... I've always known there was something off about you, but I never said anything, and now... You coming back here for a happily ever after with my brother? Does he know the truth about you?” Jackson threatened openly.I was not sure what my next line of speech needed to
Kayla's POV.I was perplexed as I waited up all night in strong anticipation, but I also braced myself, ready for the worst. I felt the need to inform him that maybe it was time for me to move on from this cut-and-chase hide-and-seek game; I just could not vanish into the blue without my family.Maybe the honesty that got down with it was what I needed but nothing changed; nothing emerged.Alpha Reynolds had not returned to the room during the entire night. Panic struck as I kept staring at the door, terrified that he would suddenly burst through it and eject me from the house. I knew he was up with Jackson, likely bonding over memories of their past, but I could not have given a damn about any of that. If anything, I suspected Jackson might have slipped.I trembled slightly from fear when the door quickly pushed open. I was so afraid since it was Alpha Reynolds."What happened while I was away?" He asked, pushed the door shut, and curled up in my bed as I stared at him, wide-eyed,
Reynolds' POV."Come on, shake off that laziness; you've got things to do," she instructed, gently nudging me as she began to step away. But I couldn't resist the urge to pull her back into my arms, wrapping her in a tender embrace and planting soft kisses behind her ear and along her temples."Can't we just stay like this a little longer?" I pleaded, unwilling to let go of the comfort and warmth of her presence. I longed for a moment of respite from life's burdens and conflicts, craving nothing more than the simple joy of being together."Sorry, but I need to pick up Adora today; we've made plans, remember?" she reminded me, a playful smile dancing across her lips as she gently extricated herself from my grasp."Fine, go ahead and tell me that Adora's your new favourite," I teased, feigning a pout as she leaned in for another kiss, her laughter mingling with mine."She'll always hold a special place in my heart, you know that," she reassured me, her words filled with affection as s
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
