In a few moments, I was at the mercy of an Immortal.
We were always warned never to make a deal with an Immortal. But in this case, I had no other choice. It would either be Kael finds out about what happened, or I forever become in debt to Sinful. Either way, both may end in death, so I chose the latter, which might have me around longer than the former.
A few days have passed since then, and I haven’t heard anything. I haven’t even heard from Jake, who promised he would reconvene with me about the information he found by the end of the week.

~JadaI’m terrified of where this is going to lead.Kael doesn’t turn back to look at me, simply leading me away and out of the gym. I stare at his back, wishing I could turn and run away from the situation I’m being lead into. I’m afraid he’s going to drag me into a dark room and force me to admit to sneaking into his room a few nights ago.Each muscle under his shirt seems to shift and move under his reasonably tight shirt, like some kind of taunt.I don’t know what we are doing, all I know, is I have to get through it.

~JadaI’m mortified.There’s a smile on Kael’s face, but it’s subtle. I’m ashamed the answer came out like that, as a lie. Within the depths of me, I knew the answer would come out as a lie, however, I was hoping it wouldn’t come through. This is quite the technology. I bet Alpha Alden of the Wisdom Pack is proud of this one.“Ask another question,” I say quickly, staring down at my knuckles rather than Kael’s face. I can feel his eyes looking down at me, waiting for the reaction that he is looking for. Little does he know he won’t get it. “Actually, ask that question again.”

~JadaCruel.Cruel was the first word that came to mind once those words left his mouth. Initially, there was no way I was about to believe him. As far as I was aware, we aren’t even halfway through competition, so with him saying that, I assumed immediately this is some kind of test to gauge my reaction.As serious as Kael is, I wouldn’t put it past him to use this as a test against us all. Swallowing uncomfortably, I lean back in my chair, refusing to look affected by this. I can’t believe him, and I won’t believe him.When I

~JadaI don’t like the idea of being alone with Blue.With Kael gone, quiet has fallen over the group. The look in Blue’s eyes is so intense, I have to look anywhere but him. Out of all these Silent’s, it’s surprisingly the one I know who frightens me the most. Now that Kael has left, most of them turn to each other to mutter under their breath, whereas Blue concentrates on only me.“Come outside with me,” Blue says in a way that is less of an offering and more of a demand. I bristle, however, I don’t react with anything other than a nod. “I want to test your skills to see what we have to work with.”

~JadaI took me a moment to process that.Here for me? That doesn’t make any sense. I mean, Blue looks familiar, but I know for a fact I don’t have any surviving family. No one has reached out to me since, and no one has expressed any care for my position. So staring at Blue, hearing him say that to me fills me with a strange sense of anger.He seems to notice my expression morphing to personify my emotions, jumping to explain himself further. “It might not make sense now, but there’s little I can say. If anyone hears, we might both get in trouble.”

~JadaThe night came by quickly.Kael went back to his own manor, leaving us in temporary housing for the night before we would be shipped off elsewhere in the morning. Ace and I returned to our rooms after we were fed dinner in the Silent’s building which had once been where the trainers resided. It was beyond awkward sitting with them all.They talked between themselves about things I wasn’t clued in on. Ace kept to himself on the other end of the table and I did the same. I kept my head down, eating my dinner quickly before running back to my room.

~JadaI didn’t have time to question my dreams the next day.A Silent whose name I don’t know knocked on my door and demanded I get up and met everyone on the front field. I barely had time to get myself together, throw my hair into a ponytail before I grabbed my things and left. Once I closed the door to my room, I realise this is the last time I’ll be here. The last time I’ll know what is coming next.I didn’t see Ace on my way there, which is a small mercy. Now I’m assuming he’s going to try stay far away from me after I tried to find out more about his past. I’m going to take a step back now.

~JadaI didn’t get much sleep last night.Jess’s words clung to me, even during the trek to the next camping spot. At least by the end of it, my aching feet and sore back distract my mind enough. I’m not going to listen to what the rest of the Silent’s have to say. I’m sure they are just messing around with us, telling fake stories and luring us to believe something that isn’t true.If it’s some kind of initiation, I don’t like it. I’m not sure why they are out to get me in particular, since Ace isn’t getting any of their attention. He just lingers on the outside, head down. He passes by everyone’s radar.

Alpha Kael Epilogue
~JadaTwo months later.I love our new home.It took some time to be built exactly how Kael and I wanted it, but I’m glad we waited. It’s traditional, yet fits in with what Kael and I both love the most. What I believe makes it so special is it is right in the outdoors, rather than in a stuffy city. Being underneath the shade of trees, a garden right outside to grow things in is like medicine.Kael and I decided it would be best to leave the Discipline Pack after he gave his title to a friend of his who he has always trusted, Carson. Kael wanted to put distance between him and his old life, and as someone who has always wanted to travel, I couldn’t be happier.

~JadaI don’t think I want to be apart of their family.Kara sweeps back to her seat, motioning for me to sit on a vacant one also. With my eye on Kael, I sit next to him, wishing I hadn’t walked in on their conversation. Now they are distracted by me, and aren’t going to finish their conversation. I wanted to know more about the Sinful manipulation thing.“I’m so happy Kael has a mate. Especially one as beautiful as you. I’m sure you two will treat each other well,” she says softly. There’s a flicker of sadness in her eyes as she says that, which Kael seems to notice also, as he shifts uncomfortably in his seat.Kara is so sweet and so stunn

~JadaIt was almost like looking in a mirror.When have the same green eyes, the same hair. It’s so jarring, for a moment I’m stunned, stumbling back a few steps as I eye her skeptically. There is no denying I’m related to her, and that she is the woman in my nightmares who raised me, who hid me from Kael’s father’s power, and was supposedly sent to the prisons where she was executed privately, along with my father.Yet, here she is, standing in front of me as if all the grief I spent dealing with in my childhood was all for nothing. Did Axel know my mother was alive all this time, and didn’t tell me? I’m not sure why I’m questioning his morals now…

~JadaIt’s clear how bothered Kael is that he can’t detain Axel.We all sit in one room, Axel on one side of the table, myself and Kael on the other. He looks at us, cocky and entitled, knowing there is nothing we can do but listen and negotiate with him until he gives us the information we need. Kael is fuming beside me, quietly calculating his next move. At least no one else knows with this exchange.“Well, aren’t you going to ask me where she is?” He questions, leaning comfortably back in his seat. It bothers me how calm he is about this, knowing he has a chance of getting out of here alive. I want to wrap my hands around his neck for what he tried doing to me.

~JadaAt first, I didn’t know if he was serious.A half smile slipped onto my face as I readied myself to turn him down. To let him know this isn’t me admitting to him that I love him, and want to be with him over Kael. However, it doesn’t seem that that idea was flirting with his mind, as an almost sinister expression moves across his face. I freeze, realising this might not be as innocent as I first assumed.“I just thought we could talk is all. I would like to fix things,” I murmur, leaning he palms of my hands against the office desk. Axel takes a few steps forward, folding his arms over his chest. In that moment, I looked into his eyes and felt genuine fear.

~JadaI’m not tired, even as we return back to our room.Kael peels his jacket off while I sit on the edge of the bed, pulling my shoes off my feet. My eyes linger on Kael’s body as he tugs his shirt off, tossing it away. I’m not sure what intrigued me so much about the way he looks with the light reflecting through the window, the smooth, buttery light casting shadows over his already perfect abdomen.Something within me flutters, heat moving down from my stomach to between my legs. It’s a feeling that makes a blush reach my cheeks, which I turn away to conceal. Why am I suddenly feeling this way just by him taking his shirt off.“I’m hoping we ca

~JadaIt feels good to have no worries.Kael and I had a swim in the sea and a walk down the beach as the sun began to set. As dusk falls me, we moved to a restaurant on the beach. It’s surprisingly busy here, people laughing and talking amongst each other as they drink and eat. Everything here feels so calm, the people enjoying themselves with no worries on their shoulders.Naturally, everyone stares blatantly at Kael, whispering between each other as they try to decipher whether Kael is actually the Alpha of the Discipline Pack or not. Luckily, no one comes up to him to ruin our meal.“This place is so nice,” I comment once Kael and I got our drinks. He sits oppos

~JadaKael never left my room that night.We sat up all night, talking to each other about almost everything that we could. By the time dawn flooded through the windows, it was too late for us to get any sleep. I don’t even want to get up. I just want to lie next to my mate, still naked, my head resting on his chest while he plays with my hair.“Can we just stay in bed all day?” I ask. I don’t think I want to face the reality of our lives yet. I don’t want to see Blue, I don’t want to deal with the fact Kael might still pursue his mother against both her and Sinful’s wishes. It’s all so much.Kael loosens a breath, rolling over to look over m

~JadaI feel guilty seeming so relieved.Sinful lets me go, and I fall into Kael’s arms. When I look up at him, he smiles down at me, as if he isn’t regretful, however, I know It can’t have been easy to completely disregard ever being able to commit to finding his mother again. I’m going to have to make it up to him, however, I doubt anything will come close to that.“Noble of you, Kael,” Sinful says, and for a moment, when I turn back around to glance at him, I see a hint of sadness. Maybe it’s because he knows his mate would never do the same for him. As much as I despise him, that even makes me feel somewhat sad.
