83Kaya’s POV.The sun rises with me locked inside this room, and now it has set. I am pacing from one end of the bed frame to the other, my brows arched downward as I remain lost within my thoughts.I really do hope that Chester hasn’t forgotten me here or his Lords. And most importantly, if he doesn’t, he comes to save them.I don’t want to use force until I know that I’ll be getting some help as well, as I’d need someone—someone who would always remind me not to go back into that trail of darkness. It’s why I didn’t try to use my magic against anyone yet, even when the maids came to bring me food.I can’t rest, so I have been standing ever since, my thoughts wider than the large space of this room. I’ve walked over the balcony many times with the thought that maybe if I could turn myself into a bird or maybe an insect, I could find my way to where the triplets are being kept.While I could have tried working on that spell since morning, because I have the book that Olivia gave me w
84Kaya’s POV.“No one is going to kill themselves here today.” I repeat my words as I step into the middle of the arrangement. The other packs’ men have surrounded us in a circle, so there is no way to run to them.And I don’t plan on doing that anyway. Now that I think of a different approach to finding a solution to this war, I realize that I can relate to everything that everyone here has faced.Olivia lost her mate, and hence, she became the vile woman that she became, yet she has a nice part of herself. I don’t care if it was all a facade or something of the sort, but when she was being nice to me, that was a different part of her that she could have chosen to live with.And the other alphas. Knowingly that they have all shared a pain through the triplets, they have also spread such hate to every other part of this world. They judge the triplets for their pain, but given the ruin they’ve caused, who would they blame that on?Everyone of us drifted into darkness because we though
85Kaya’s POV.What am I doing here?“What is this?” I ask my thoughts when I see Kade and Kyle come to stand with my frame being put in their middle, and Kade comes to stand right in front of me.“Our body is still too weak to communicate with you in the physical world, so we made use of the mate bond since it’s a powerful link.” While Kade explains, I wonder why they would do that.“And what’s the use?” I ask, my voice showing how much I am disinterested in any conversation with the triplets. I may be fixing my mind and working to be better on my own, but trust me, there’s a larger part of me that still doesn’t want to talk to these monsters, because that’s still what I see them as.“This is the only good memory we have with you so far.” When Kyle says, I shift my face towards him. He’s being serious, but I still roll my eyes. “I know, it’s very bad of us.”“Thank you for what you did today. You didn’t need to.”“Yes, but tell that to Chester. He’s very good at convincing a person o
86Kaya’s POV.I’ve always loved that moment after winter. The sun is high up in the sky again. The dark clouds leave for the return of a clear sky, which gives the oceans a beautiful reflection of blue colours. It’s always fun to just go outside and see the elegance of everything, and that’s what Chester meant for me when he said we should ride out.At first, I thought we were going to take horses, but he’s got a better idea in mind.“Sorry!” I shrill, my voice at the top of my lungs, as I apologize to a woman’s potatoes, which Chester’s wolf just hit and crashed to the ground.He has changed into his wolf’s form and asked me to ride on his back. I’ve never been on a wolf before, but starting with his, I am more than happy, as I have been for the past month now.We are running through the lower town, causing chaos on our way and frightening everyone in the path.“Sorry!” Again, I apologize. I can’t count the many times I’ve said that.Chester’s wolf fault, to be honest.But this is f
87Kaya’s POV.I stand so close to the windows that I stare through them to the outside. The sky has darkened in response to the sadness in the aura, choking the whole kingdom.As I narrow my eyes, lost in deep thoughts, I watch the scene before me unfold.In the distance are the pack members. They each have a candle in their hands, surrounding the compound of the kingdom in a circular shape. In the very middle is the body of Emilie, the clone, thought to be the triplets’ mother. She’s dressed elegantly like the royal that she is, with a flag that bears the mark of the triplets’ kingdom’s crest on her chest. She’s placed on a pyre, ready to be burned.And not far from her are the triplets, who are standing with a torch in their hands. Even from this distance of mine, I can still feel the weakness in their muscles and nerves and the way they struggle to stand rooted to the ground. But that aside, I can also feel the sadness in their being.It could never have been easy. After all the p
883RD POV.As Kaya is surrounded by the triplets, she allows herself to sink into their presence. She closes her eyes, immersing herself in their essence, allowing it to make her moan and give her the pleasure she has always been craving.This time around, the sensation is much more intense than the other times because they’ve found common ground. Kieran kisses her hard as he places one of his hands at the back of her head.He’s hungry, and he doesn’t hide it in his actions. Unexpected by Kaya, Kieran’s hand slides down to her core, and she gasps. He quickly takes the chance and kisses her more and more. The moment she opens her lips wider, he dips in, sharing his saliva with her, and he moans softly on his own, his beast on the peak as the both of them enjoy the affection coming from Kaya.The brothers notice that there’s no part of her that’s rejecting them. She isn’t fighting her body this time around. Her mind is in alliance with her actions, and it turns them on more than they c
893RD POV.An orchestra plays in the background. The music reaches each person’s ears with such melody that it hypnotizes the brain into thinking that as it tunes softly and slowly, time is also moving in such accordance.On the head seat, did Kade adjust himself, staring ahead. His calm mind is relaxed to see how things will turn out tonight, and he’s ready to accept any truth, as he doesn’t want to be fooled anymore.Kieran, on the other hand, has his jaw resting on his palm as he stares down at the table. His mind is a battlefield, and he’s baffled at all that is happening. He still doesn’t want to believe that even a fragment of it could be right, but he’s got no choice, and he can only wonder how much he’d be heartbroken if things turned out the other way.Lastly, Kyle, who’s already had too much to drink, won’t think of anything, and he’s still craving more. He hasn’t got much going for him in his thoughts. He’s just looking at different possibilities.Then, a loud creak reache
90Kaya’s POV.“You bitch. What the fuck are you doing here?” Jared curses at me, his teeth gritting, and I raise one of my brows.Wow. I’m surprised. I know he’s got a big mouth naturally, but after what he has just done to his nephews, he has acquired a very big mouth at that.He doesn’t seem to have any remorse or something of the sort. He looks perfectly okay, and if I hadn’t appeared here, he might still be flashing his teeth as the triplets walk one step closer to their deaths.“You don’t seem bitter at the fact that your nephews are dying?” I say as I shift my eyes to them. Kade’s body has weakened like the other time when Chester and I saved him from the hands of Olivia and the other alphas. His eyes are reddened from being strained by the poison.It must have been a strong one, and I wonder why Jared would be keeping such poison all this time just to get rid of the last ones he could call family. I don’t expect less since he was even the one who killed their mother, and I sha
