Kayla’s POVI shrugged. “I’ll talk about it later. The thought of what I did still eeks me out.”She nodded as we stood up and had a little sparring moment before I started out of the field heading home.Willow was willing to stay back at the field because some random guy approached her and was talking to her.I got home and saw my phone ringing. It was from the alpha but I ignored it.I was too scared to face him. I didn’t want to have anything to do with him anymore.I had already had a terrible time before thinking about him and while sparring I had temporarily forgotten about him.Now he was calling and making me remember the past I was trying to forget. That was not going to happen.“I’m not going to pick up. I’m not going to pick up,” I repeated over and over again while pacing around the room, getting rid of my exercise clothes.When it stopped ringing, I turned off the phone and headed for the shower.I was having my bath when I heard the doorbell ring.Running to open it, I s
Kayla’s POVI shook my head. I refused to believe that my mother would do something so stupid to the pack. How could that be possible?This was madness. It wasn’t possible to. Mother would never.“You’re lying,” was all I could muster up.“But it’s true. Father and I saw it…”“You saw wrong!” I yelled refusing to believe her. “Mother would never do that. I know her.”“I lived with her while you lived away. I grew up with her so I had it harder than you. You on the other hand recently found out your parents were not your real parents. I have lived with her so imagine when I found out about the news and how I must have taken it. “It wasn’t funny being able to see that my own mother would do such a thing. She wasn’t supposed to. But she did. She knew how dangerous it would be if she got caught but she didn’t rate me or dad enough to even care. She did it anyway. “Why do you think dad hasn’t said anything to you about this? That’s because none of us want to paint her out to be the villa
Kayla’s POVI zipped through the forest before heading for the desert. I was hellbent on reaching there before noon so we could hang out and talk about our differences. There had to be a way to tackle the problem between us. He was not the villain anymore. I was.When I reached the desert, I dug my feet into the ground, moving with everything in me as the wind battered my body at high speeds.Everything blurred around me with my speed increasing with each second. I would not give up or give in. I would keep moving like I was not going to stop anytime soon.The building loomed up in the distance as I streaked through the rocks and headed for it. Using my werewolf senses, I could hear only one heartbeat in the entire building and I traced it to him sitting atop the building with his feet dangling from the top.I boosted myself forward, moving like a blur until I entered the building, zipping to the top of the building, opening the door which led to the roof.He didn’t turn to look at m
Zack’s POVI was elated to hear the news from her as she accepted me and went ahead to take away the whiskey from my hand.“Don’t drink it,” I said, consciously pointing to her stomach as she chuckled. “I wouldn’t dream of it.”“It’s funny, you came.”“I had to. I wanted to give you closure and tell you that I was sorry.”I looked into the horizon.“You know werewolves can’t get drunk,” she chuckled to me as I shrugged. “You can if you add a bit of wolfsbane in it.”“Wouldn’t wolfsbane kill you?”“The right amount can weaken you, not kill you,” I corrected. “Bartenders at the bar back in the pack use it all the time. It would weaken the wolf and make you weak for some time but not enough to kill you or anything so you can relax.”She laughed, looking at the drink.“So… what now?”“I’ve got to be at the edge of the pack by midnight and I have meetings with most of the guards there for multiple days. I won’t be handling the affairs of the main pack for a long time as that would be the
Zack’s POVI looked to the window to see the pack booming in the distance, the afternoon sun hitting the prosperous pack with its harsh rays.“You know, I heard rumors that you are the best thing to have ever entered the pack,” he went on.“What makes you say so? The rumors might be just that… rumors.”“But that is true. You are the best alpha this pack has ever had and I am proud of that. Me, my son, being the best thing to happen to the pack is a blessing and I cannot deny that you have brought this pack more good than harm.”It was an honor to hear all of this from the man even when I didn’t have any confidence in myself for being an alpha.“You don’t seem happy.”“I have been having a strained relationship with a woman. So forgive me for not caring about the good rumors the pack has to make for me.”He came to stand by my side as I looked ahead with earnestness.“I know it’s not Fiona,” he said.“And what makes you say so?”“Because you haven’t spoken to her in days and she’s been
Zack’s POVThis was a dangerous mission. One which required her to be safe. With her coming on this mission it could cost her her life. While I would be busy handling the rogues she could be a target for an unsuspecting attack.“Hello,” her voice came again on the phone as I cleared my throat and replied to her.“Hello, I’m so sorry for not replying to you on time. I was… busy.”That was clearly a lie seeing as I had been in my thoughts for what seemed like a long time while she called out for me on the phone.“So, have you packed yet?” I asked.“Yes. I’ve got everything I need. Wait, what time are you picking me up again? Because I have a lot to do and I haven’t even gotten my…”Her voice trailed off while she talked. From what I had known of the woman, she talked fast whenever she was nervous. That was something I didn’t find strange at all. I actually found it cute.“Are you there?” She noticed that I wasn’t invested in the conversation.“Yes. I will pick you up by seven so be read
Kayla’s POV“Dad is kind of right, even when he’s actually killing the vibe right now,” Willow said with an eye roll. “But if none of the security guards could do anything against the rogues already in the pack, how would he suggest for you to go with him to the edge of the pack? “And he didn’t even suggest this journey in the daytime, he did that for nighttime. I find this suspicious and you should too.”If I said I wasn’t rethinking my whole travel plans with the alpha, I would be a liar, but I believed the two of them were blowing this out of proportion. The alpha might have been a terrible man but this was not one of those times when he was terrible or found wanting. He was still a good person after the conversation I had with him today.“Dad, I’m sure we’ll be fine. I can handle myself and so can he. He’s not a bad person. He’s got this whole thing planned out. He wouldn’t harm me. I know that. He’s had so many times to do that but instead he gives me gifts. That’s not a sign of
Kayla’s POVI walked into the room with my bag as he left to answer a call. I was impressed with the designs of the room. Everything screamed of money and so much more.I could only imagine what would make this part of the pack unsafe.How had it gotten to be this bad? Wasn’t the alpha supposed to make sure everything was okay? Now I was mad at how he had abandoned his duty and had been busy going around without an aim at making sure the pack was safe.He entered the room with a smile as I frowned at him.“What is it?” He asked in concern. “Are you hungry?”“How did it get to this?” I asked, flailing my arms. “How is it that your pack isn’t protected enough?”“I can explain but you have to know that it wasn’t my fault. Things got out of hand but at the end of the day it still isn’t my fault that it happened like that.”“Then whose fault was it? Because from where I’m standing this is your fault. You are the alpha. You should protect your people.”“Which I am trying to do Kayla. That i
