Adeena's P.O.V
"Are you sure this is okay?" I ask Lauren and Valerie.
Kalan's other sister was already inside my room waiting with tons of shopping bags filled with clothes and shoes. Valerie, she and I are the same age, she's a splitting image of Kalan, the black hair and the blue eyes, they have that part checked.
Lauren was brunette, she said it was from her mother, the other two got their looks from their father, I think I've met him once when I was younger, never got a good vibe and my parents asked me to stay away from him when he came around.
"Oh my goodness, you look so cute!" Lauren beams clapping her hands together.
"Really?" I ask nervously, trying to smooth out my dress.
"Yeah, have you never worn any other kind of clothing?" Valerie asks curiously.
"Nope, strictly royal gowns and dresses, nothing else" I pouted.
She moved me to a full length mirror to look at myself.
The white sundress hung mid thigh, with little lilies on it, my favorite flowers, she gave me a blue ripped jacket to wear and some boots, I looked different but in a good way.
I've been living inside a palace for almost 20 years, I had no idea what it was like to look like this.
"Well, you live here now and your boyfriend is filthy rich, so you can wear whatever you want" Valerie winks.
"My what?" I choked, my eyes going wide.
"Dee, can I call you Dee?" she asks politely.
"Sure" I nod and she nods proceeding.
"Kalan is practically your boyfriend, you're the Moon Goddess's daughter, you should know these things" she says.
"I know some things" I mumbled trying to sound convincing.
In all honesty, I know a few things, I wasn't prepared okay.
"I'm sure" she chuckles, "but I'm here to help you with whatever you need" she offers.
"Me too" Lauren smiles.
Aww, I miss my sisters.
Erika was away but it was always me, Noah and Athena, I miss them.
I'm going to miss them even more when I can't visit often, Mother said it won't be as easy as when I was living there, I have more responsibilities now.
Kalan sensed that I was staying away from him but didn't say anything, he just stayed away too. After what he did and said, I'm staying as far away as I possibly can.
I've heard about the things he's done to other people,I just never thought he would be so calm ad collected like he is now. From what I've heard, he's done some pretty horrible things.
He's killed two Alphas already but has only taken over one of their packs, I'm pretty sure that makes him a little darker than many other wolves and a tad bit more insane.
Killing an Alpha here can land you into a different place, I don't like to talk about it because Father despised those tales and we only heard bits and pieces, up until now my sisters and I don't speak of it.
"What's that smell?" I ask from where I sat at the kitchen island.
"It's bacon" Isaac answers flipping whatever it was inside the pan.
"Bacon?" I ask with raised eyebrows. "As in pig?" I inquire.
"Yes?" he answers unsure, looking over at Kalan.
Who doesn't seem to care what we're talking about, busy in his own world looking through papers.
"I've never had it" I shrugged.
"Oh, I thought you were going to say you're vegetarian" Kalan mutters flipping his papers.
I flick my finger and a light wind blew them away, not far enough because he caught them before they could land on the floor.
He turned to look at me but I look toward the delightful plate being placed before me.
"Bacon, eggs and pancakes" Isaac smiles handing me a fork.
"Be careful what you feed her Isaac, wouldn't want the puppies to try and eat her up again" Kalan comments.
Isaac looked between us and laughs nervously, again, I am about to flick my finger again but Kalan gave me a daring look, casting his eyes at me and then looking away.
"Wow, you two are getting along just fine" Valerie remarks from the table where she and Lauren sat.
I've never acted like this before, it's like when I left my home everything I knew went out the window, I was suddenly talking back and getting irritated easily, I was so calm before I came here, absolutely no one could get me to talk back to them, matter the misunderstandings.
"Wow, you guys eat like this everyday!?" I blurt out, removing the fork from my mouth after tasting the bacon.
I've never had bacon, Mother hates it because it's full of fat, but she eats roasted pig, that lady is something else. I was missing out on all these wonderful flavors of goodness.
"Uh, yeah" Isaac answers again, still not sure how to respond.
"May I please have another plate?" I ask him almost eagerly.
"Kalan and I actually have some work to do-..." Isaac starts but he's cut off by Kalan.
"Just make her whatever she wants and meet me at the Valley in half hour" Kalan says getting up with his papers.
"Okay" Isaac chuckles.
Kalan leaves and I finish my food, another plate coming up.
Lauren left for school, leaving just me and Valerie alone here. Isaac also left to meet up with Kalan, so it's just us here all alone in this big house.
"Those boys I saw earlier, who are they?" I ask Valerie.
She looked up from her device at me then put it down to give me her full attention.
"Those were Kalan's closest friends, he used to play football in high school, so they're all pretty much ass kissers for his Majesty" she answers with an eye roll.
"Oh, he's athletic?" I ask her. "Didn't know that".
"Yep, there's a lot you don't know about my brother, but you will in due time" she smiles warmly.
"Okay" I nod deciding to drop the topic.
So he's athletic, he's a complete womanizer from what I've gathered and he doesn't play nicely with others.
"I can tell you're bored, Kalan gave me the keys to his car and his card, let's go shopping" Valerie suggests.
"Really?" I ask, don't blame me, the only places I've over gone to shop was the our dressing hall, where our dresses and gowns were hand stitched by the best, I've rarely explored the outside world.
From what I can tell, it's different here from the Moon Kingdom.
"Yes, I can buy you a phone and you can get a milkshake" she says happily.
"A what shake, do they shake the cow before milking it or something?", I was confused alright!.
"I love your sense of humor" Valerie laughed helping me up from the couch.
She can't be serious, that was genuine question.
Okay, shopping?.
Was fun.
I'll just say that, it was relieving to finally be able to shop for myself and pick out the clothes that I wanted, it was a hard pick but it was worth it, it was totally worth it.
And the milkshake thingy, not a cow that was shook.
It was an actual drink, kind of like a dessert, I got like three of them, I can't wait to tell my sisters about that, although they probably have had it before because they get to leave often but I don't.
"Kalan is going to skyrocket when he sees this bill" Valerie laughs looking at the never ending paper.
"I didn't mean to buy this much stuff" I answer but she only laughs.
"He doesn't care Adi, I told you that he's your boyfriend now, he'll buy you anything even if he doesn't want to, he'll spoile you, trust me" she assures opening the car door.
I've been inside a car dozens of times, my parents can transport from place to place without a vehicle but whenever we're all going out they don't teleport, they hire a driver from somewhere to take us.
Erika has to ride a horse wherever she goes, her and the other warriors, now that, I couldn't do that.
"Oh, we gotta get home, Kalan's almost there" Valerie gushes hastily.
Like he'd kill her if he showed up and didn't see us.
He wouldn't dare.
Adeena's P.O.VA lot of voices were heard coming from downstairs as I exit my room, I haven't slept one bit since I came back from shopping with Valerie two days ago.I don't know why body won't allow me to sleep, maybe because I wasn't sleeping in that big comfortable bed down the hall, I kind of knew it was Kalan's room but he had the most amazing bed, and the pillows were so huge and soft.He hasn't said anything about me sleeping there the other night.I wonder where he slept that night.I slept peacefully, it was the best sleep I had in years, literally in years. It was as if I was missing something and I finally found it.Just pure blissful sleeping all night long, wrapped under warm covers and hugging pillows, yeah, I could sleep there again.I walk into the living room not expecting an entire pack meeting going on. Everyone was talking all at once, Isaac was trying to calm them down and Kalan was nowhere in si
Adeena's P.O.VI didn't think I'd be tiptoeing into a guy's room. But here I am, tiptoeing down the hallway and to Kalan's room.I didn't hear him come home, I'm guessing he's still out and about. Isaac and the girls were still downstairs watching movies on that thingy they call a television, I've honestly never seen one up close, I've heard about them but never seen one.My parents are very strict and high classed people, we don't have those in the Moon Kingdom, I'd be surprised if we finally moved into life of modern technology. Not that we don't have a few modern items, but we don't have gadgets such as the phone, laptop, television, none of those.Just books, a never ending library of books, and if that wasn't eno
Adeena's P.O.V"I have been calling you all day!" Valerie panics, walking into the room.I was seated on the floor, with a candle lit and my journal in hand. She paused and looked around curiously before closing the door and walking closer to me."I haven't really mastered the art of using your kind of technology" I answer putting my journal down and closing it."Whole point of me buying it for you, so you can learn" she exasperated throwing herself down onto my bed. "What're you doing anyway, what kind of spell are you working on?" she mumbles.She kind of saw me levitating a piece of bread over to me once, I had to explain my abilities and she suprisingly took it w
Adeena's P.O.V"What are you doing here?" Noah asks upon seeing me inside the palace library.I might have sneeked in using the vines from my garden, I didn't want to risk my parents seeing me come in. I'm not supposed to be back here, especially without consent. But I needed to know what was going on with Kalan, I needed to know what was going in inside his head.At some times, he can be quiet and just give me eyes and other times he's mean, he keeps threatening to reject me, not that I would necessarily care, there's a lot that I could do without the burden of taking care of him or his pack."Looking for something" I answer closing another book and putting it back onto the shelf.
Kalan's P.O.V"The full moon comes up tonight, and there's no sign of Adeena" Isaac announced, walking into my office."I know" I sighed leaning back into the chair. "I can't even get a sniff of her anywhere other than inside her room" I tell him.I feel bad about what I said to her, I shouldn't have said it but that's what happens when I've been perplexed, I take it out on anyone I can and Adeena just happens to upset me for no reason.I don't mean to lash out on the one's around me but it happens and then I have to face the consequences. When Adeena said I wasn't worth it, that was the first time I felt genuine hurt in a long time, I never want her to think I'm not worth it.
Adeena's P.O.VI really thought everything would be fine by the time I woke up in the morning, but it wasn't.Noah tried her best to help me sleep longer but it didn't work, so now I'm on the floor again, crying and groaning in pain.How could my own mother do this to me?.And Kalan was supposed to teach me everything but he's always busy doing something.He was supposed to tell me what I should expect, rather, what I should prepare for.I couldn't do this on my own, and my sisters don't know what to do either. They're both just inside my room looking at me, in hopes that everything will be over soon.
Adeena's P.O.VThe smell of bacon woke me from my sleep, my stomach instantly growled in hunger and I open my eyes slowly.I was met with a very high and dark ceiling, confused, I tried to sit up but a sharp pain in my head humbled my actions.Wincing, I held my head and tried again. This time, I was successful, I sat up and ran my fingers through my hair, it was tangled, felt like it was in its worst state.Fingers.Hair.I'm me again.To make sure my theory was correct, I looked down at my body, I was met with an oversized sweatshirt and some shorts covering me.
Adeena's P.O.V"I'm so happy you're okay!" Lauren gushed when Kalan finally put down.The soft couch welcomed me so comfortably, I almost sighed, this was the first place I sat when I first arrived here.Of course I would feel welcomed when I sit here."Where were you?" Lauren asks, taking a seat close to me.Silence.I just stared at her, I wasn't this quiet when I was with Fate. So why was I so quiet now?.I felt lost in this moment, it felt as though everything that had happened finally took its toll on me. The moment I saw Kalan,
Adeena's P.O.VThe feeling of a warm cloth being placed on my forehead woke me up. My eyes opened slowly and I heave a sigh, taking in my surroundings carefully.I felt sick to my stomach as I lay there still trying to process everything that had happened."Luna" Alison's voice sounds from next to me. "You're awake" she says in relief."What happened?" I questioned turning my head to look at her.Her face held pure relief as she removed the cloth from my forehead to answer my question. Alison and I aren't really friends but she's always here, I think I can consider her my friend."I'm not sure, you blacked out three hours ago in hallway" she replies."Where's Kalan?""He went to get Collin, said he'll be back soon"Collin, why would he-......Collin!.Oh no, I hope he's okay.I had no idea we were that deeply connected to the point I could see and feel what he was going through, I'm not sure exactly what it was but I know it was nothing good.Alison helped me out of bed and to the bat
Adeena's P.O.V"Isaac, have you seen Kalan?" I ask walking outside of the house.I haven't been outside in a few days due to my personal issues, I haven't seen Kalan in two days. I guess I should be used to him going missing once in a while but I'm not.I always want to know where he is.What if something happens to him?.I can die also."He's gone to Lauren's school, she had a small presentation today" Isaac replies after realizing I was the one who asked him the question.He was standing outside talking to some men, who looked as though they were warrior wolves, but also looked peaceful. You can tell the ones who are rebellious and the ones who aren't.The ones back at our other pack were obviously rebellious, but Kalan treated them as he treated Isaac."Why didn't he tell me?" I ask staring off into the distance."He'll be back in an hour, come here and I want you to meet someone" he replies beckoning for me to come down to him.I stand next to Isaac, watching the men as they bowed
Kalan's P.O.VMy alarm finally starts going off, I've been laying here wide awake just waiting for it. I don't have anything important planned for the day, I can just stay with Adeena, we'll be home alone anyway.I turn the alarm off and sat up in bed, rubbing my eyes to rid the tiredness. Ever since yesterday I've felt drained, as before there was a pull on my emotions, Adeena was the only reason I felt this way, she hasn't even woken up since she fell asleep on me.Now she was sound asleep on my pillow, we shared one pillow, I couldn't move her away from me in fear she might wake up, I was actually more comfortable than tired when laying so close to her.'Kal, are you up?'Confused, I turn to look at Adeena, she was still sleeping. How is she mind linking me when she's asleep and how did she know how to do that?.'I'm up, what's wrong?''I'm hungry'"Really Adeena, you couldn't open your eyes to tell me that?" I ask in disbelief.'I'm still sleeping remember'"What should I make?",
Kalan's P.O.VThe rain continues to shower down, trapping us inside the house for just a few hours. I woke up to the light patters on the roof and didn't think much of it, then Adeena woken up and showers came down, literally just as she woke up it started raining harder.It made some sense, she woke up in a very irritated mood, she was meaner than usual. This morning I said she looked tired and she threw a pillow at me, with so much force I wasn't even able to dodge it, it's been two hours and I haven't spoken to her."Where's Adeena?" Isaac asks concerned, looking around the room.He came over earlier than expected for me to help with some papers, I didn't mind because I could use the distraction."Upstairs" I answer monotonously, leaving no room for anymore questions but he just had to ask me something else."Didn't you make her breakfast?" he asks seeing that the kitchen was cleaned."Oh, she's not hungry" I shrugged off. "She hasn't been feeling herself lately"."She's not pregn
Adeena's P.O.V"Why is this place so full of life?" I ask Isaac once we arrived to the pack house in the Crescent Moon pack."No idea, honestly the Alpha is way more preferred here" he answers with a shrug.I take his answer with a nod, we arrived at the pack in just four hours, I was not expecting the place to be so full of life and laughter. Everyone we had driven by was overjoyed to see Kalan, even if they couldn't see inside the car as I was informed earlier. They were very happy to see him.The pack house was different from the Nexus pack, it was just in the pack, it blended in perfectly, except it was a lot bigger than most of the other houses. I've never seen a place so lively before.
Kalan's P.O.VI have been listening to my mother insulting Adeena for almost an hour, I don't know how she found out what happened but she did. All she's been telling me is to get rid of her, I try not to disrespect my Mom, but sometimes she doesn't know when to quit."I bet if she knew just who she was insulting, she would shut up" Isaac snorts."That's why I don't bother saying anything, let her dig her own grave and later she will be the one to lay in it" I respond watching as my Mom and Valerie started to argue about her choice of words and her ridiculous statements."I might have some bad news" Isaac says so casually, making me look at him with a raised eyebrow. "Yeah, our little prisoner died"
Adeena's P.O.VAll I could hear was my heart, thudding against my chest as I tried to stay hidden behind a tree. Had I not followed my own mind and went out to see the pack, I wouldn't have gotten caught up in this mess.The man had shifted into a wolf right before my eyes and started to chase me, at first I stood there in shock before I really understood what was happening.Everyone seemed to mind their own business when he started to chase after me, how selfless of them. It's like they didn't even care that I could die if he catches up to me.I ran as far as I could then I went into the woods, not without getting caught by some thorns, ripping the sleeve of my hoodie, scratching my arm
Adeena's P.O.V"What're you doing?" I ask Lauren, seeing her with a couple of books open along with some papers.She was seated on floor, cross legged with her head propped up by her hands. I'm guessing it was past midnight, she was inside her room for the entire day, I haven't seen her at all yesterday."Oh" Lauren says in a bit of shock, "I have a test tomorrow, so I'm hitting the books" she fake cheers."Oh, may I ask what kind of test?" I ask confused, don't get me wrong, I still have little idea about what they do here."History and Geography" she replies passing me a piece of paper with a few others attached to it, I take it slowly to ins
Adeena's P.O.VWhy did I think Kalan's mother would be gone by morning?.She was in fact, inside the kitchen at this current moment, by the stove doing who knows what. I walked in thinking it would be Isaac making breakfast but it wasn't.My usual bacon and eggs was replaced with something else, something I wasn't used to and definitely something I wouldn't try.I will tolerate her for as long as I need to, while trying my best not to slice her head off with a snap of my fingers."Hey" Kalan chimes behind me, wrapping his arms around me and kissing my cheek. "How do you feel?" he asks resting his chin on my shoulder.
