EthanThe next morning, I went over to the kitchen, hoping to catch sight of Kayla in the midst of the omegas. Ever since her mother died, she started working with the other omegas, even if we knew that this was not right. My father declared that she starts working with them, even if she was his step daughter. He had a sort of hate for Kayla and her mother, one that was hard to decipher.Thinking of it now, I guess that I would be suggesting something to my father the next time we meet. He needs to consider allowing Kayla live as the daughter of the alpha king and not a servant…“Kayla is not here?” I asked Bella who was washing some clothes at the back of the kitchen. She was shocked to see me and this was evident in her eyes. “You are looking for Kayla?” She asked, staring at me from my head down to my foot. I squinted my eyes and scrunched my brows. I could tell that she was surprised and I needed no one to tell me why. This was the very first time I went all the way to the ki
KaylaThis morning was different from the others. I woke up feeling so dull and without the willingness to live. Memories of last night flushed into my head and mere thoughts of how Jason treated me made my heart twist in pure hurt. It was clear that he hated me but was only trying to be nice, just because I was his mate. The attitude he showed yesterday was a major indication of that.A deep sigh escaped my lips as I opened my windows and listened to the chirping noises of the morning birds. I watched show they happily flew around and I couldn’t help but imagine what life would look like if I was free like a bird. Birds didn’t have mates, not to talk of having four mates just like me. This was harder than I thought and deep down, I doubted that I would be able to tread on that path for a long time. “Hi”, I said to the little bird that perched on my window. It could clearly see me, but rather than running away, it came closer.I love talking to things that weren’t necessarily huma
KaylaI finally left my room towards evening. I had been absent since morning, and I knew that it would be a call for trouble if the head servant learned of that.At this, I went over to help out in the preparation of dinner.I thought of Ethan and how he brought me a tray of food and I couldn’t help but smile softly. Bella was throwing questioning glares at me, but we were so busy and unable to get in touch. We finally succeeded in setting the table, after which we went over to the servant’s quarters to have our meal. Usually, I had my meal in the servant quarters, except in cases where the alpha king invites me to the dining. That only happened when he had something significant to say…“Kayla…”, I heard a voice call my name just as I was about to head over to the servant’s quarters. “You should join us for dinner today”, Jake suggested, with a small smile on his face. He was quite shy as he said that to me, but I could see the sincerity in his eyes.“Yes…you should join us today
JasonNo…. I didn’t feel an iota of remorse for how I spoke to Kayla. She was beginning to feel like a special person, and I didn’t like that. She was making every one of us to behave like fools, and they all played along, without asking questions. Each of them liked her now and that was enough to irritate me to the core. I didn’t like that, and nothing was going to make me change my idea about that. She glared at me, and I almost choked on my meal. Despite how fierce I was willing to hold on to my ideology, I couldn’t deny the fact that her stares were piercing through to the deepest part of my heart. My brothers argued with me for a while, but Kayla remained silent. I caught a glimpse of tears in her eyes and my heart broke for a second. However, I recovered almost immediately when I realized that this was the little charm she had. She had a way of making herself the center of attention and making people's feelings flutter. Our father walked in at that point. He had earlier requ
Jake“But all of these happened!” I declared defiantly and immediately, everywhere turned silent. I had been quiet all these while, watching the banter between Jason, Ethan, and our father. My heart was heavy, and I knew that Ethan needed some backing. I like Kayla with all of my heart and Ethan’s suggestion came out to be the best. She shouldn’t be working as a servant when she is our step-sister. “Jake…what do you mean by that?” My father asked as his eyes turned red in rage. I gulped down hard and wiped sweats away from my forehead. The truth was that I was quite nervous, but I braced up the moment I caught sight of Kayla’s face. “Father…she is our sister and the earlier we take note of that, the better for us”, I stuttered, hoping that the words I just uttered made sense. Jason scoffed and glared at me, and I returned the dead glares as well. His sudden change towards Kayla was very surprising, and I couldn’t help but think or imagine why that happened. “I support them too
Kayla No, no, no…this wasn’t meant to be happening. I hated being in this sort of situation where some people supported me and others glared at me like I was a devil.The stares that came from the Alpha king almost made me faint on the spot. Jason was not helping out either, even if he was my mate. Which mate speaks against his other half? “What exactly is your plan, Kayla?” Jason had asked me, glaring at me and sending me cold stares that made me shiver.“My plan? Even the goddess knows that I never had a plan in all of this ”, I thought silently as I watched the brothers pouring out their different thoughts on the situation. “I’m truly sorry, father. I had no idea that the dinner would turn out this way. I shouldn’t have come”, I apologized and lowered my head to the ground.Mason didn’t stop pouring out his perspective, with the backing that came from Ethan and Jake. The dinner was a mess and I knew it. It was totally ruined just because they wanted name to be treated like the
Ethan’s Pov“Kayla…”, I muttered under my breath as I rushed over to her. She seemed to have passed out after gulping down the entire juice jar. “Is she okay?” Jake asked as he came over to take a careful look at her. Mason was not left out. He wore a panicked look as he rushed over to her, tapping her slightly and calling out her name. Jason sat still on the seat, stealing glances at us but looking sort of unperturbed. He was focused on his meal, barely caring about whatever might have happened to Kayla. “Kayla…can you hear me? Please say something”, I said as I tapped her softly. My heart was beating out of my chest at this point and the only thing that came to my mind was the drink.“Was it poisoned?” I asked Jake who exchanged glances with Mason.“I suspected something though. The speed she used in drinking this juice was quite strange”, Jake said and held Kayla who was barely conscious.“She is now being dramatic as always and that’s because she wants attention. All she wan
KaylaThe moment I took down the entire content of the juice jar, I knew that it was a wrong decision. It knocked me out almost immediately, but that didn’t last for long. My body system was suddenly numb and quiet, and then I felt a spark in the deepest part of my heart. There was a sudden rush of excitement and immediately, I felt the need to put out everything I had in the hidden part of my soul. I had no idea of what I was spewing, but I could feel my lips moving while the quad stared at me. I would rather not stop… I didn’t feel like. After a while, I felt my body in someone arms and that felt so good. I realized that they were taking me away from the dining, and this got me uncomfortable. Likewise, I wanted to pour out my thoughts, especially to Jason who was a thorn in my flesh. Whosoever it was that carried me in his arms was fierce because he was able to subdue and stop me from leaving his grip. I knew when we got to my room, even if my brain was in chaos. I landed on my
Third person. A month after the death of the Alpha King and the rift between Kayla and the quad, she decided that it was time to let them in on everything that happened when she was at the forest. She wanted them to know that she had to choose just one of the quad as her mate for life and that was the instruction from the moon goddess. She broke the news to them one morning and the shock on their faces showed that they weren’t expecting to hear something like that. “But she chose you as our mates!” Ethan cried out. He was quite pained to hear such, even if he hadn’t really said so much words to Kayla. “You will find another mate once I make my choice”, Kayla explained as they both exchanged glances with each other.They gulped down hard and nodded, gesturing for her to go ahead with making her choice. “And so, who are you picking?” Jake said as he stared at her, as though he wished that she would choose him. Kayla stared at each of the quad, with tears dripping out of her eyes.
KaylaIsn’t it funny, the way live goes? How things start up on a bad note, only to transit to being good and then, return back to being bad. The quad had been a thorn in my flesh right from the very beginning but when they turned out to be good, I had a change of thought about them.It was crazy to witness a time when they returned back to being mean and nonchalant about things that concerned me, their mate. This was exclusive of Jason, who despite all, took me in and told me that he still needed me around. That gave me a sort of hope…if Jason wanted me, then I’m just fine. The strange woman whom I had met during my journey in the forest had told me that I could only choose one of the quad and I just knew that Jason was going to be that one. None of them knew about that, at least not yet. I had no idea of what such information would bring but I was getting ready to bring them in on it the moment I felt was right. “What are you thinking of?” Jason asked as he walked over to me,
Third person. Kayla swirled around to meet Jason, who had his hands inside his pocket and his gaze lowered to the ground. He had a small smirk on his face, and a questioning look that sort of asked the question of why Kayla would ever think of leaving the pack. “Jason?” Kayla called out, quite surprised to see him there even though she wasn’t so convinced that he would want her to stay back. As long as she was concerned, she was unwanted at the pack and has always been unwanted at the pack. “Where are you going to?” Jason asked again as he took another step closer. He has this fierce look on his face that suggested how he was both pained and confused by her decision. “I’m leaving”, she replied with a voice that sounded like a whisper, trying so hard to avoid gazing into his eyes. Jason gulped down hard and darted his eyes away again. “And why are you leaving?” He asked as he rolled his eyes at her. “No one wants me around. You all think that I’m a danger to your pack b
KaylaI sat on my bed as every memory I ever had at the pack started pouring back into my brain. I blinked off the tears that welled up in my eyes as I stood up and strolled over to the window. A huge part of my life was in this pack, and although most of it turned out to be terrific, I still didn’t want to leave. However, I needed to because despite how hard I wanted to make amends with the quad, they weren’t willing to do so. I finally packed up my bad and started making my way out of the pack. I could have easily made use of my powers to vanish and never be seen, but for some reasons, I wanted every single person at the pack to see that I was leaving indeed. Just as I approached the gate, I felt someone watching me. I swirled around and tried to place my hands on who it might be but I couldn’t. At this, I ignored the weird feeling and trudged further away. And then, I heard what sounded like footsteps. It was clear that someone was following me but whosoever it was didn’t want
Kayla It was high time the entire fight came to an end. I was exhausted and needed someone to cling on but that seemed to be impossible because every single person deserted me. “Please, let’s make peace”, I said to Jason who was looking at me as though he had just seen a ghost. Despite how hard he tried to avoid having an eye contact with me, I could tell that he missed me as much as I did.“Kayla, everyone needs space at this point and it’s only cool that we leave things the way they are”, he explained just as I searched through his eyes as though I could really tell what he felt. “That’s not true. Deep down your heart, I know that you want all of these to end. I know that you desire me. I know that you want me. I can feel it in my bones”, I said in a whisper as I used my hand to caress his cheeks softly. He froze the minute my hands touched his skin and that was yet another confirmation of what I had just said. There was no need extending the situation when we could have peace a
Third person. Everything remained silent for a couple of days. However, the silence that reigned over the entire pack was one filled with so much tension. The quad were lost and unable to think of how to proceed with carrying their responsibilities as alphas. Kayla on the other end couldn’t tell if she wanted to leave the pack or remain there, especially because the entire quad was mad at her. Jason was not left out too. He was usually the one standing so firm behind her. It was quite heartbreaking to see him look away from her. She took slow steps out of her room, not failing to observe how the members of the pack shivered immediately they set their eyes on her. She was truly exhausted and all she wanted at the moment was peace. She hated being a reason to be talked about by the entire pack. Just as she walked, she bumped into someone and that prompted her to travel all the way to the ground. She let out a deep sigh after which she rubbed her hands that was terrible hurtin
Third person. Kayla ran out of the scene as fast as her legs could carry her, not sparing anyone of them a glance. She never intended to make use of her powers but it seemed as though her powers reacted in time it sensed danger “I don’t like this! This is becoming one crazy rollercoaster and I’m certainly not ready for this”, she cried out the minute she got into her room. “But you miss them…”, her wolf whispered and for some seconds, her cries turned to silent tears. “I do…but I doubt that things would go back to how it’s been”, she said, her heart broken to a thousand pieces. The quad were still hiding inside their various rooms, in their mourning state. On my part, I was cold and numb as I sat in the garden. I had a lot of thoughts in my head and even if I direly wanted him to apologize to me, I didn’t wish his death. He brought his death upon himself though because he had thought that Denver’s pack was at peace with him. That was the major mistake that allowed his de
Third person. Kayla and Jason were just in the middle of sharing a warm hug when a voice interrupted from behind, causing them to swirl abruptly. “Yes! She is a threat to this pack and if anything, she should be eliminated”, the voice added and slowly, Kayla lifted her head to meet that of the owner. It was Mason. Her heart dropped as she took down a very big gulp of her own saliva. She jerked up to her feet, lowered her eyes to the ground and drew in a very deep breath. “Mason, I understand how you feel. I felt that same way when I learnt of my mother’s death. Trust me, I was hurt to the core”, Kayla tried to explain but that seemed to further infuriate Mason. Mason eyes were on fire as he glared at her in rage. It felt as though she was responsible for their entire predicament. “Your mother’s death? Was that why you did this?” He asked with a broken voice and again, Kayla’s heart missed a beat. She couldn’t tell if she was sharing their pain because she was also their mate,
KaylaThe quad were still hiding inside their various rooms, in their mourning state. On my part, I was cold and numb as I sat in the garden. I had a lot of thoughts in my head and even if I direly wanted him to apologize to me, I didn’t wish his death. He brought his death upon himself though because he had thought that Denver’s pack was at peace with him. That was the major mistake that allowed his death. Just then, a loud wail came booming directly into my ears and abruptly, I felt a cold shiver running down my spine. It was Jason. My heart broke into a thousand pieces as I held myself from jerking up and running towards his room. They hated me and I knew it. I had refused to help them with my powers even though they screamed and asked me for help. What was I meant to do? Save the man responsible for my mother’s death? That was something I would never do. A tear dropped out of my eyes as I clutched on to my chest and broke into a very silent sob. This might just be the re
