JASONFor the hundredth time, I fixed my gaze on the clock, listening to the sound it made as though each second drew me close to something vital. Despite how hard I tried to think less of the situation, I couldn’t deny the fact that it was something important. Kayla’s birthday was one we never marked or celebrated after her mother’s death and hearing Ethan mention it earlier today was a lot to handle. I flared up because I was enraged and confused about how we went from being her worst enemies to sweet individuals all because of the so-called “mate thing”.My brothers were already all over her, and that was enough to get me angry. I wasn’t willing to go down the same lane as them. But then, the more I thought about it, the more I saw reasons to actually do something for her birthday. Perhaps, it was the mate bond thing kicking in because I was disturbed with the idea of staying silent on her birthday.“Whatever!” I mumbled as I fell back to my bed to get some nap.***The sound of
KAYLAA party going on outside, an invitation and not only that, a dress on my bed? My heart raced as I stayed still, with my eyes focused on the beautiful flowery dress that was comfortably laying on my bed.“Who brought this here?” I asked myself again as I lifted the dress and smiled calmly.The last time I owned a brand-new dress was a week before my mother died. She had taken me to the mall, where we shopped for different clothes. That never happened after her death because no one cared about me…until now.“Who the hell did this?” I asked again as my excitement slowly faded and gave way to worry.A massive frown was plastered on my face and my body shivered in fear. I tried so hard to place my hands on whom it might be, since no one in the pack ever looked towards my direction.And then, it clicked! I had seen Ethan hanging around the hallway thatled to my room earlier. Furthermore, of the quad, he was the most friendly. At this, I resolved that he was the one responsible for
Ethan’s PovI stood beside Jake just as we stared at Kayla, who was being led into the party by Mason. I had sent Mason to bring her in since I had to take care of other things at the party ground.Jason was nowhere in sight, and that wasn’t astounding. He was the odd one from all of us, and even if I told him about it, I knew that he wouldn’t show up.“Happy birthday, Kayla!” Everyone screamed the minute her blindfold went out of her eyes. She was startled, and I could see this in how she quickly darted her eyes across to the pool arena. Just then, she caught sight of me and briskly walked over.“What the hell is going on? Is this my birthday party?” She asked, and I gestured for her to take a look at her picture banner that was majestically hanging on one side of the wall.“What?” She screamed and moved backwards.“We couldn’t celebrate you yesterday and so, we thought that it won’t be late today”, I went further to explain to her.“Happy birthday Kayla. I would go get some drinks
JASONI paced around my room as the blaring sound of the music infiltrated my peace. My heart was raging and at the same time, I felt disturbed.Again, I made to get some sleep, but the moment I thought of Kayla, I jerked to my feet and continued pacing around.Just then, the door opened and Ashley walked into the room, with a small frown on her face.“Aren’t you going to the party?” She asked and walked over to me.I looked away immediately and nodded negatively.“You boys decided to throw a party for yourselves, and you won’t even attend?” She asked unbelievably.I made to talk, but the words got stuck in my throat.How could I tell her that the party was organized for Kayla? “Let’s go to the party, please!” She begged as she went over to my wardrobe and picked out a pair of cloth.“It’s a pool party! And I would love to swim”, she added and again, my heart skipped.I had no idea of what was going on, but something told me that some sort of bad thing would happen.“I have a bad fee
KAYLAThe feeling was surreal. The birthday party was really for me, even if I found it hard to believe.“Happy birthday! It feels weird to come over for your birthday party, but it’s fine since we were invited by the quad”, a young girl said to me, with a bright smile on her face.It was hard to decipher if she was giving a compliment, or if she was trying to insult me.“Thank you”, I replied and smiled back at her.The day was coming out quite great, apart from the fact that I had an encounter with Bianca.Bianca is known to be very arrogant and disrespectful, but I was glad that I gave her a piece of my mind.More people came around to greet me and wish me a happy birthday, with some emphasizing on the fact that the dress I had on was stunning.“It’s time to cut your cake”, one of the party planners said to me with a smile as she led me to the table where the cakes were arranged on.There were three big cakes staring at me, with decorations and candles on top of it.“I hope you hav
Mason’s PovThis was honestly the best night I’ve had in a long time. Despite the fact that there were other females of the pack lurking around me, my attention was fixated on Kayla.Kayla looked entirely gorgeous and breath taking. It felt weird that I never actually appreciated her beauty right until I discovered that she was my mate.“I have something to say to her”, I said to the Mc who quickly announced it.I could see the shock in her eyes when she heard that a brother of hers had something to say.I was quite blank and unable to lay my hands on the force that pushed me to make such announcement, but I braced up and took in a deep breath.“You can do it!” My wolf said immediately I picked up the microphone and turned to look at Kayla.“Hi, birthday celebrant”, I started, causing the entire crowd to break into a round of laughter.I was quite humorous and I knew that. However, most times, that was just an escape from the tension and anxiety I currently felt.“I know that you may
ETHANFrom where I stood, I caught sight of the commotion that was currently happening. I was taken aback when I discovered that Kayla was in the middle of everything.“What is going on?” I asked as I pushed my way into the crowd, with Bianca sauntering behind me.She held me at that point and looked into my eyes.“Why are you suddenly worried about her? You should allow her deal with her problems just like she always does here at the pack”, Bianca said calmly and made to lead me away, but my mind was disturbed.My wolf growled again as I looked over at Kayla who was looking around, clearly lost and confused.“It seems like she is in trouble…I should go over to her and know what’s going on”, I said again as I pushed my way into the crowd.She kept mute at this point and followed me, with her hands folded to her chest and her eyes burning with rage.I decided to ask someone what the problem was since it was no noisy and rowdy. “She stole someone’s dress”, he explained, with a look of
JASONI bit my lower lips in agony just as I watched the event that was currently unfolding. This was totally my fault. If I had known that things would turn out like this, I wouldn’t have bothered getting the dress for her. But I wanted her to look good, even if I didn’t know why…I sighed deeply as I stood at the distance and watched a helpless looking Kayla, who obviously had no idea of what to do.She asked Ethan, Mason, and Jake and none of them attested to the fact that they knew about the dress.There was no way they were going to know because I didn’t inform any of them about my plans to get her a new dress.“I’m not a thief! I can swear that I didn’t steal this dress. It was laying on my bed”, Kayla screamed as tears poured out of her eyes.My heart shattered to tiny bits as I stared at her continuously, without an idea of what to do. There was no way I was going to help her out because she was someone I detested with all my might, and the last thing I wanted was to become c
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
