Zack’s POVWe sat on the ground drinking beers and looking at the paintings on the walls as we tried to bring up a solution for my problem.I was an alpha but it wasn’t a hindrance to me having friends. Mateo was one of those very good friends I had and would love to keep staying in touch with. I didn’t want to have any bad relationship with him. I doubted there was anything that would make me have a bad relationship with him.I looked at my empty bottle which I dropped down with a burp.“This sucks,” I sighed. “As an alpha I have to do this and do that. I can’t have a relationship with who I want. It’s almost like I’m a robot.”“You said she was pregnant with another man’s child. That’s what they have a problem with and not the fact that she is the daughter of a traitor.”“She didn’t even grow up with her mother. At least they should all cut her some slack.”We stayed silent for a while before he stood up and stretched his arm to me.“You want to spar again?” He asked as I shrugged.
Kayla’s POVI wondered what was going on as I walked into the gate to see multiple guards standing at different points like they were protecting an important person.I walked to the door to see my father shivering at the door.“Dad?!” I called out, running to hold him steady as Willow touched his head to see if he was okay.“Are you Kayla?” a voice asked as I turned to see a man in black robes standing before me.He had very dark eyes which told me he had seen things which could break the pack if he so wished for it to.“Yes.” I said with a nod. “I am Kayla. Is there anything you want?”“A word in private.”“Kayla don’t go with him,” I heard my father say as I saw some of the guards move towards him which prompted me to zip before my father with my arms outstretched. I would protect him with my life.“If you so much as touch him I will call the alpha and have your heads hanging on the walls,” I threatened as the man in robes raised a brow.“Making threats are we?” he chuckled like thi
Kayla’s POVThe next day, I awoke to the sound of someone rapping on my door which had me jumping to sit up.“What?!” I yelled while rubbing my eyes. I looked at my table clock to see the time was still around seven o’clock. “Go away! It’s too early for this.”I laid back in bed, putting the pillow over my ears to avoid listening to the banging noise.When the noise didn’t go away, I got to the door, opening it to see a panicking willow, standing outside with her pajamas on.“Willow, it’s still morning. What do you want?”“The former alpha is here,” she said with a panic in her voice.“What do you mean?” I asked, confused on why the old man would be at the door.I suddenly got scared. I had already had a recent fallout with Fiona’s father, the elder. Had he reported me to the alpha already?I geared up, ready to attack him and tell him what had happened.Running out of the room while Willow screamed that I wasn’t dressed appropriately, I ran to the front door where I paused, took a de
Kayla’s POV“But sir,” I said to him. “I haven’t done anything wrong to him. I’ve been very…”“I don’t care about what you’ve done or haven’t done, when I say you aren’t good for my boy I know you aren’t good and that’s that.”“But you don’t know me!” I retorted. He was judging me without even meeting me even when he was the terrible one who had cut my mothers life short.“I don’t want to know you!” He yelled back. “You think I give a shit about every girl I meet in this pack? I have seen people come and go and you are not even worth a grain of salt to them. You are not fit to be a Luna. You have been sullied.”I was taken aback by those words. They were the same words being used by the market people in the pack. Was he the one who had spread the rumor or he was talking based on what he had heard.“Just because I am pregnant does not mean that I have been sullied,” I said through gritted teeth. Now I was getting on the defensive. He dared not call me that in this place. Not in my hous
Kayla’s POV“Excuse me?!” I yelled in shock. “Are you being serious?”“I’m as serious as they come,” he smiled. “Very simple right? And you get all these benefits just for rejecting him. Oh and you have to leave for another pack.”“No!” I yelled.“No what?” He said with raised brows.“No, I refuse to be swayed by your words. I will not do it.”He scoffed at my confidence and looked me in the eyes.“My son arranged a date for your mating ceremony with him, did you know that?”I did. I had seen the mail and ignored it for the bad eyes I was getting from the people were too much.“Now if you don’t reject him, he will go ahead to get mated with you which I do not want to happen. Now be a good girl and reject him for me or your family gets it.”“They won’t,” I said with a smile. I had confidence in myself and Zack. This man was not going to do anything to someone who was willing to risk everything to be a Luna. If I was a Luna I would have my revenge against him. He would regret what he ha
Kayla’s POV“Who I choose to be with should not be up for a debate.” I said with a stern tone. “You all should be on my side and should help me fight the threats I’m facing. It’s not that hard.”I could not believe my own family would not be of help to me.“K, sweetie, you know I’d love to be your friend and confidant in this but you have to understand that the former alpha used to be an alpha for a reason. You are going up against a powerful wolf. You will lose.”I could not believe Willow at this point.“You’re supposed to have my back on this one!” I yelled to the table.“For the moon's sake will you stop yelling and just listen to us!” The old man on the table yelled, using a hand to rub around his temple like he was frustrated. “Listen, as much as I would really like to be on your side, I want you to know that your mother died at the order of that man. He killed your mother. My wife. “He didn’t even blink when she was being killed. Now why would you think you can go up against h
Kayla’s POVEven when I had been approached by the old Alpha to leave his son, I had not been disrespected like this. Everything I had done had not been to piss anyone off. I just wanted to be with the man I loved and suddenly I was stepping on toes.“With all due respect sir,” I said with my breathing increasing gradually as I tried to hold myself back from doing anything harsh. “But I won’t leave the alpha for anyone. It’s very clear the alpha likes me.”“He doesn’t know what he likes because you have brainwashed him!” The man yelled in anger.“If brainwashing people with love gets you loved then I think that is how it should be,” my answer had him reeling backwards in shock. He was mad at me. “Fiona should be having him all to herself if she was loved the way I am loved by the alpha. Instead I’m having all of you come one after the other to tell me to back off. “How do you think the alpha would react when he knows respectable men like you are bribing me with things that are petty.
Zach’s POVI looked at the man before me and the elders who were behind him as I had the urge to reject his request.He was my father. I had to be careful. With a nod, I accepted as we walked away from the elders and took a stroll to the edge of the garden when we looked at the large mountains in the distance.“What are you doing?” He asked. “This isn’t you. This is madness I tell you. You can’t keep acting out in this manner. Those are elders.”“Didn’t you see them coming after me like a pack of wolves after prey?” I called the old man’s attention to it. “Dad, I tried my best to be calm but they are getting on my nerves.”“How about you listen to what they want you to do?” The man asked. “They just want what is best for the pack. You don’t need to be aggressive.”Now I knew he was not going to be on my side.“I’m done with this conversation,” I said with a sigh as I started for the castle. It was time to cool off.I was going to spar with a guard.When I got to the castle, I pointed
