Kayla’s POVShe squealed excitedly as we zipped around the room while someone stood at the door looking at us. It was the old man.“You know you could join us,” I said before looking up to see him smiling. “Standing there is creepy if you're not gonna join us.”“I do want to join you. I’m only concerned with how you’re doing now.”“I’m okay.” All Willow said to me haunted my insides. I wanted to make up for it. “Are you doing anything today?”“Well, I’ve got to get to work and get into the…” he stopped talking and shook his head. “Actually, I’m not doing anything today. We can go ahead to do whatever you want.”I smiled, standing to my feet to meet him as we hugged.“Let’s go out and spend some time outside. Just the three of us.”“Where do you want us to go?” “I was thinking you guys would show me around.”Willow jumped to her feet.“I’ve got a few places I know we can visit.”She was really excited as she ran out of the room.“Don’t you say the arcade house!” The man yelled out as
Zack’s POVNow I was here in front of her, alone in the gaming space, I didn’t know what to say to her.Everything I had rehearsed to say went out of my head while she sat there frowning at me.“It’s gotta be important,” she said in anger as I sighed before looking around.“Like I said earlier, it is,” but it wasn’t. It was the same old thing I was doing. I was trying to get with her so that we would have a conversation about the past and she would get that it wasn’t fault but she was proving to be too difficult.Her family had taken the news harshly but they had still come out without causing a scene about the incident.Yes I understood that it was her mother, but this was something that happened years ago. This was not to be a problem. “I’ve apologized multiple times but you seem to still hate me,” I finally found the words to show how I felt.“I’m sorry for not bowing to the person who killed my mother,” she said before looking at the door where the guards stood. “I’m sorry,” she
Kayla’s POVI was skeptical about shaking him but he didn’t look like a threat. Besides, he had saved me. There was no need for me to be scared of anything.We were in a public place. If anything went wrong, I would kick him in the nuts and rip out his heart. I had to be careful these days because anyone could be an attacker.“You don’t look like you’re from around here,” he retracted his hand as I smiled awkwardly.“Apologies for not being friendly,” I muttered. “I don’t talk to strangers.”“A stranger saved you from getting hit by a truck. I believe I’m not a threat anymore.”I sighed, falling into his tricks.“I'm sorry.” I stretched out my hand to shake him as he did so. “Amanda.”I gave off a fake name. I already had a crazy alpha after me, I didn’t want to add another maniac to the list.“Care to explain why you wanted to cross without being sure you were safe first?”His question was right. I should have checked for my safety before deciding to cross, instead I had ignored the
Kayla’s POV“Goodness,” I sighed. “This was going to be a very long day.“I’m sorry I’m dropping all of this on you but I’m so mad right now I can’t even breathe properly.”I got up to embrace her, taking her to the bench with me.“Relax. You’ll be fine,” I said to her. “Now tell me all you did.”“I didn’t do anything. I mean, apart from turning on the tap and using the hose to spray him and the girl with the hot water there.”“Oh,” I shrugged. “I understand that part. I mean, you’re mad at him so it’s understandable.”“I also got him fired by telling his boss what he had been doing in the bathroom so there’s that.”“That was crazy but I admire that. No one should treat you that way.”“Thank you so much,” she laid on my shoulder while I stroked her hair. She had gone through a lot of pain to come to this point. I felt for her. “What do you think I should have done? Should I have done something worse to show I was angry? Do you think I did great?”“You were awesome,” I smiled at her. “
Kayla’s POVI looked at the number to see it was an ordinary one and not a palace number. At first I had fears that it would be him, but now I was convinced it wasn’t.“Hello,” I answered, trying to be polite to the caller.“Kayla?” his voice came on the line catching me by surprise. This was not why I had expected to hear.“How did you get my number?”“I’ve had it for a long time.”“And you haven’t called?” I couldn’t believe my ears. “There was no need to. You were always close by.”This would be when I worked at the palace. “Did you get the gifts I sent you?”My eyes fell upon the letter on the bed. “Yes. Thank you. But you didn’t have to.”“It’s a little gesture of my…”“No, seriously, alpha, you didn’t need to do this.”He was silent for a while before responding.“My driver will drive around to pick you up. I want us to go to the mountains.”“I just got home.”“Just get ready,” were his last words before he switched off the call.I zipped around looking for what to wear, howe
Kayla’s POV“How about we just enjoy the moment?” I noted, clinking my water glass with his before drinking it. It was serene and peaceful here. It was a far cry from the gaming center I had been in. There was nothing I wanted more than to be here in this place with no attachment to the world below.I didn’t like him but this place was a beautiful choice by him.He knew good taste.“I’m guessing you have hobbies?”I laughed at his question. “Of course everyone has hobbies.”We stayed silent before I looked at him with a smile.“What are your hobbies?”“Reading.”I scoffed. “Reading? Not killing people’s mothers, but actual reading?”That got him mad as he punched the ground.“That’s enough, Kayla,” he sighed. “Okay. I’ve apologized like a thousand times. I’ve done what many alphas out there would never do. I’ve been able to apologize and ask for your forgiveness and give you gifts and do so much but you still hold it against me.“What did you want me to do? Strangle my father when he
Kayla’s POVWhat had I got to lose? I was already here so I might as well listen to everything she had to say to me.“Fine,” I plopped back on the couch with my legs crossed as she did the same, folding her arms.Her face was deep in thoughts while she thought of a way to start her narration.“It’s about the alpha,” she started.“I already told you…”“I’m not advocating for him Kayla, I just want you to listen to me, that’s all.”I relaxed. “Ever since Zack got into the alpha seat and I came of age to know who he was, been the best alpha this pack has ever provided for the people. No one has complained about his leadership because unlike his predecessors he’s kind and generous. Very calm to the pack and leads with the people in his heart.”She got to her feet to pace around the room while looking at her hand. “Now, I have seen how he works in the pack and he’s also the best at his job. The most hardworking alpha and the calmest too.”“You said calm multiple times,” I pointed out as s
Kayla’s POVThe drive through the empty road was simple yet satisfying.He floored his sports vehicle through the streets at maximum speed but I wasn’t scared. As a wolf, I could go as fast as a sports car or even faster depending on the situation which called for it. But I expended so much energy doing it that it wasn’t practical when one had a car like this to go that distance while energy was saved.We were approaching a corner when he hit the brakes, steered the wheel to his left and moved the gear shift like in the movies before flooring it again, rounding the corner in a stylish way.My heart pounded out of my chest in an exhilarating manner, but I was excited as to what was going to happen next.When he got to the edge of the pack, the gate was opened with the guards bowing before us as he sped across with maximum speed.“Where are we going?” I asked, looking back to see them pack gate getting farther and farther away from us.We were leaving the pack. Wherever we were going h
