Kyas POV After knowing Caleb was still out there sleep did not come that night. I sat the entire night with Vivi in Alpha Max's office thinking deeply about Caleb and his motives. After thinking for a long while I came to the realization...Who cares what he wants? I deserve anyone better than a man like him. He left me to die. He laughed at my pain. It’s been a couple of days since the attack but his scent still feels so fresh in my head. I cannot help but keep asking myself ‘Why did he come here… why did he come for me?’ As if rejecting me wasn't enough he comes here with rouges? Maybe he's looking for revenge for his father and pack? Thats it! How could I think he would come for me? Sometimes I ponder my sanity. Alpha Max hasn’t been back to the pack house since the attack. Vivi said he’s caught Caleb’s trail and refuses to return until he finds out his hiding location. Becoming close with Vivi these last couple of days has been very nice, I've never been treated like a real p
Kya's POV After returning to my room in the pack house from my first hair appointment, I decided to relax for a bit. Digging around the armoire full of clothing I pull out some black sweats and a nice tank top. While changing I glanced into the mirror on the wall and still could not believe the reflection before me. My cheeks look plump and rosey while my shiny blonde locks bounce around. I looked at my own eyes for a while and noticed they had changed shades. They used to be a sad and dull green. Now they are a vibrant emerald color even brighter than Calebs or his father's! ‘What magic has this pack performed?’ I thought to myself smiling. It’s been so long since I felt any type of joy. I decided to take a rest in my new bed. Walking over to it I sit down on the corner feeling the soft blankets before me. Laying my head down on the pillow I inhaled deeply. ‘Mmmmmm lavender…’ I snuggled deeper into the pillow falling into a peaceful rest. After an hour or so passed I heard kn
Max’s POVI left the packhouse that night with one task in mind. Finding the man who attacked my home. Finding the pathetic wanna-be alpha who tried to murder Kya. Finding peace for us all.After picking up Caleb’s scent I could not stop Artemis from following him. A small team of elite guards joined me in finding the trader who sent rogues to attack our beloved pack. After traveling for a full day we located the traitor's hideout.The scent led us to a small clearing deep in the forest far away from my territory. Traveling this deep into the forest is not normal for most wolves as all you will find out here are crazed rogues with an unimaginable blood thirst. Ahead a small cabin could be barely seen peeking out of the wood at the edge of the clearing. I stopped my men for a moment to plan our angle of attack. In every battle no matter how big or small you must have a plan for the worst.Splitting my men into two formations we surrounded the hideout easily from the north and south en
Caleb's POV"Caleb we are under attack! The dark moon has infiltrated our pack and is moving in past our borders" My father shouted at me as we both stormed out of the packhouse. 'The dark moon pack devours packs...were doomed.' I could not help thinking about it on our way to the exit. The night was dark and cold leaving an eerie feeling in the air. Our land is one of poverty so attacking us will gain them nothing. It was bound to happen with the pathetic excuse of an Alpha we have. Beta Charlie stood outside the pack house waiting for us to go approach the battle."There are too many of them Alpha if we run now we might survive!" Charlie spoke. "No! No other pack will take us. Not this way!" My father shouted furiously before shifting and heading toward the battle.I followed for a moment then I mind-linked Charlie, "Charlie he made me reject her, your daughter is dead, this pack is not worth our lives." I spoke clearly and sternly."When we reach the battle if you are the smart m
Caleb’s POV I turned to leave the cabin as Charlie stumbled over the stool and fell face-first onto the ground. “I will return soon” I murmured to him even though he was already snoring. Shutting the door behind me I stood outside the cabin breathing heavily as my head spun from the last few hour's occurrences. Beside the small cabin was a down pine tree I had come here weeks ago and carved a little bench into. This cabin has been a haven for me since childhood, my father being the unpleasant man he was made living with him an absolute nightmare. Even though I was to be next in line for alpha he always treated me as a weak little tag along. Never introduced me to the elders or business partners even though I would plant each evil seed in his head to help him keep our pack afloat. Always pushed me to the side, especially after what he did to my mother… Anger boiled in my veins ‘of course I remember Kya’s mother… She destroyed my family!’ I thought while glancing at the cabin think
Caleb's POV Leaving the dungeun in a blind rage I ran as fast as I could out of the pack house. Looking ahead I saw some movement coming from a small wooden shack at the end of the road. ‘I was so focused on confirming Kya’s death how did I miss that!’ I thought to myself staring at the shack as shadows passed by the windows. Hiding behind a nearby tree I warned Charlie through the mind link about the shack and he slowly approached from the rear and hid behind the large tree with me. We observed the area for a few moments noticing no movement outside or around the shack. "Do you think there are any survivors?" I asked Charlie through the link, He responded by walking past me toward the shack. I followed slowly and cautiously. 'Would the dark moon place guards here? Are they coming to claim my pack's land?' I thought as we approached the shack slowly. Charlie nodded at me and went the opposite way around the cabin. Following his lead I went around the other way to check for guards
Kya's POVMy mind spun circles as the stress of hearing Caleb being brought here has brought me many unwanted emotions. Thoughts from my childhood started bubbling to the surface as tears silently fell down my pale plump cheeks. As I drifted into slumber my dreams took me away... Scenes started flashing before my eyes. Walking through the forest around age nine I recall Caleb and I coming across each other. After I finished my morning chores I would walk the pack trails to find peace away from my drunken father and avoid the other girls my age who had nothing better to do but harass and attack me any chance they had. "What are you doing out here instead of attending to your chores?" Caleb asked me as he approached a little hidden trail I was walking along. His short chocolate hair was perfectly on his forehead and his mouth made a large grin at me, "My chores are complete, I am just taking a small stroll for some air" I responded quietly bowing to him trying to hide my blushing chee
Kya's POVThe prisoner bellowed with laughter "YOU!" He roared crazily as he started to pace around his cell pointing his finger at me while scratching his head. "Kya who is this man? Was he your old alpha's theta?" Max asked looking back and forth between myself and the prisoner. "He was one of the alpha officials when I was a small child he...." before I could finish the prisoner spoke over me. "KYA? THIS IS THE GIRL? CALEB YOU FOOL!" Zeke screamed from his cell.A response came from a cell at the furthest end of the dungeon "Yessir" followed by maniacal laughing. "Caleb..." I spoke under my breath turning toward his voice. As I went to step in Caleb's direction a large strong hand shot out before me "No” Max's eyes flashed his wolf as he looked deep into my own.'The smell of death was so strong in here how could I have not sensed Caleb's presence?' I asked Athena, to be met with silence. My heart shook with fear and pain as all the previous excitement from this morning disappea
Kya's POVWe arrived at what looked like a burial ground on the far end of the pack after a long quiet car ride. Something about being around alpha Max has my heart feeling fluttery and uncontrollable. Even Athena is acting weird. Max parked the car and walked around to my door opening it for me to exit. "Follow me, little wolf," Max spoke as he took my hand in his and we walked side by side over to a large opening in the earth. "He died in his wolf form so this is the best we have, if you cannot identify him it is ok Kya I just need to know," Max spoke calmly and cooly in my ear as we approached the grave.Inside the grave lay a partially decayed black and silver spotted wolf. I scanned it closely with my eyes realizing its size alone should have told me right away. "This is the missing gamma..." I whispered covering my mouth with my hand trying to hold back vomit that started bubbling in my stomach. "Thank you," Max spoke quietly as he placed his hands on either side of me and dir
Max's POVThe trip was excruciating as my men carried me home. Being ambushed twice in one night took almost every bit of energy I had, I realized while traveling this was a setup as most of my men agreed all of the wolves had one target.Me.Eager to see Kya I refused to rest traveling home, like a boy with a gift to present I felt gleeful. Capturing Caleb has brought Artemis and me great joy as we traveled home in victory. We proudly returned to the pack and I rushed directly to the pack house.After returning to my pack with our prisoner in tow my leg started healing pretty quickly, entering my quarters I instantly noticed Kya's scent was very faint and almost gone from my room. Looking around my room slowly I notice any sign of Kya has been removed, her clothing is gone, and her bath products too. Artemis started to grow more frustrated as he realized Kya's absence."Vivi!!!!" I boomed through the mind link at Vivi knowing this was probably her doing. "Yes, alpha?" She responded.
Kya's POVVivi charged straight at me without warning, side-stepping I dodged her first attack. Spinning around to face Vivi with my hands raised in front of me I caught Vivi's flying foot that almost connected with my face. Releasing her foot I stepped back but her advances did not come to an end as she lunged forward with a closed fist.This was much more fun than I could have imagined! With no time to focus on anything but Vivi's next attack, I could feel my brain fog clearing. My heart started to feel light again and dare I say it, I was not half bad at this.Drenched in sweat after a couple of hours with Vivi training we stopped to take a break. "Kya you are very very fast, faster than myself I could say with a little more training! I did not know this would be so easy, you are such a fast learner too!" Vivi spoke proudly to me smiling widely as she sat next to me a drank a large quantity of water."I have always wanted to train Vivi I cannot tell you how thankful I am you are do
