Kayla's POV

Two weeks later….

I was now back in Callan's packhouse with the rest of his people and warriors, men and women alike.

After telling me part of his story at the hospital, he had been distant and I couldn't figure out why.

Maybe he didn't trust me and I wouldn't blame him after all his own brother tried to kill him for power and fame.

I was only a mere stranger, an outsider that married into his family so why would he trust me?

I sighed as I closed the book on my lap and flung it on the bed. I had been on the same page all day, my conflicted thoughts making it difficult to concentrate on much else.

What did I have to do to get Callan to trust me and realize that Jackson meant nothing to me anymore?

What did I need to say to prove that I was loyal to him now and wanted Jackson's head on a steak as much as he did?

Those were the thoughts that were plaguing me and I had still not made headway or come up with any solutions.

I noticed the looks of doubts his Beta, Drevan and that warrior woman, Nyx gave me every time I dared to show my face in front of them but I didn't hold it against them, in fact I understood.

I guess I would be hesitant to accept a total stranger, especially one related to their Alpha's dark past.

I was the wife of the monster who had tried to kill his brother and to them that's all I would ever be until I could prove myself to them.

“But how?” I wondered out loud and let out a frustrated sigh.

Someone knocked on the door just as I slid off the bed and I froze, staring at it in confusion.

I was expecting anyone and it wasn't even time for dinner yet. I looked towards the window and frowned when I realized that night had come.

How could I have missed that? I loved watching the sunset, it was one the most beautiful things in the world.

Another knock on the door snapped me out of my thoughts and I walked to the door taking my time to put my clothes in order and ensure I looked presentable.

“I'm coming,” I opened the door and stared at the unfamiliar face of a young girl. “And you are?”

“Good evening my lady. The Alpha has requested for you to join him and the rest of his men outside for a bonfire.”

Bonfire? My face lit up at the mention of a bonfire and I quickly ran out, bumping into the girl.

Halfway down the hall, I realized what I had done and flushed in embarrassment turning around to apologise but she was gone.

Smacking my forehead with my hand, I continued to make my way outside making a mental note to apologise to her later.

“Kayla,” Callan's deep yet soothing voice reached me as I stepped outside and I flushed as I felt at least a dozen eyes on me. “Please join us,”

I gulped as I walked towards them, cautious of my steps. I tripped over a stick and almost fell until someone caught my hand.

“Be careful, pretty lady,” he whispered as he let go of my hand. “A beautiful woman like you shouldn't have scars on her body.”

My cheeks flushed a deep red and I muttered a quick thank you as I continued walking towards Callan.

“Stop harassing my guest Leon, she's offlimits,”

My cheeks were hotter than the fire burning in the middle of the lot of them as I walked up to Callan and bowed slightly.

“Alpha, how are you doing?”

He raised an eyebrow. “Just call me Callan, there's no need for formalities, between friends, Kayla.”

I flushed and avoided his gaze, my eyes landing on Nyx's. She had an unreadable expression on her face but Drevan’s face was hard as a rock and he was glaring at me.

I gulped, goosebumps filling my body as I looked away. The hostility in his eyes was scarier than anything I had ever seen before.

“Kayla, as a new member of this pack, you'd have to pledge your allegiance to me and denounce your old pack and its Alpha.”

I nodded, hearing whispers around me. I realized they were expecting me not to be able to carry out such a simple task because Jackson was after all my husband.

If only they knew.

I took a deep breath and held my hand out. “I, Kayla Nikolai denounce Alpha Jackson of the Sun Pack as my Alpha and the Sun pack as my pack,”

I looked up after saying this to find all eyes on me, identical looks of shock spread across their faces.

“What else do I need to do?” I asked, ignoring how uncomfortable their stares were making me feel.

Callan coughed and looked away trying hard but failing to hide his shock at my actions.

“You'd have to accept Alpha Callan as your Alpha to prove your loyalty to him,” Drevan replied when Callan still didn't answer.

I nodded and held out my hand again, close to the fire. “I, Kayla Nikolai accept Alpha Callan, the Rogue Wolf King as my Alpha and leader. I promise to do whatever I can to protect his honour and dignity among other Alphas.”

Audible gasps of shock reached my ears and I grinned.

Shortly after, applauses rang around me, shocking me and causing my cheeks to grow hot.

“Well done Kayla, you're officially a member of the Rogue Pack.” Callan announced, his eyes beaming with pride.

“I want to get revenue from Jackson too.” I wshoepred softly and he froze.

“What did you say?”

“I hate Jackson just as much as you do and I wan him to pay for betraying me the way he did.” I held out my hand. “Can we work together? With your influence and my knowledge of him and the pack, I could be instrumental in bringing him down because I want nothing more than to see him in as much pain as he put me through.”

He finally recovered from his shock and shook his head in agreement. “We have a deal, partner.”

    Kayla’s povAfter trying to prove my loyalty to Callen I still don’t feel comfortable that he trusts me enough and with the way Drevan stares at him I can tell immediately that he doesn’t trust me at all. I know very well that I have tried my best to prove my innocence but it might take time before they trust me. I looked around the room that was given to me and I was happy to see that Callen was doing great. In fact I was proud of him for coming that far all by himself. I couldn’t tell exactly what happened between both of them in the past but I knew very well that both brothers never liked each other. Then Jackson would always complain about Callen and how Callen wished to take his position from him until one day there was an announcement that Callen had passed away. I didn’t feel good about the announcement. I was a little relieved that my husband would no longer have any troubles with his position as the Alpha little did I know the kind of horrible person he was. I was so stupid

  • Return Of The Betrayed Luna   Chapter 7

    Kayla’s povSitting with Callen made me realize that everything Jackson told me about Callen was the total opposite of the kind of person Callen is. He’s nothing like what Jackson described him to be and I kind of regretted that I am just finding out. Seeing the way he treated me well even though I wasn’t exactly good to him in the past made me know that he’s really a good person and he didn’t deserve to be treated the way he was treated in the pack. “Why did you allow yourself to be trampled on back then?” I asked him curiously. “I didn’t allow myself to be trampled on, I just let everyone believe what they chose to believe. I know very well that even though I try to explain, no one would listen to me no matter how hard I tried.” I nodded my head when I heard what he said because he was really telling the truth. Hearing this side of his story made me feel guilty because I was one of those that didn’t believe him. I always thought that he was making things hard for my husband with

    Callen povAfter my conversation with Kayla I realized she might have not been as bad as I thought she was back then, she just didn’t know the kind of person I was and she judged me based on what her husband told her about me. Seeing the way she was trying not to feel too guilty made me see a different side of her. But one thing I know for sure is that she’s not as weak as I think she is. While I was thinking about my conversation with Kayla Drevan walked in. “What’s going on? You look like you’re in a good mood.” He said to me with a bright smile on his face. I know that Drevan was not too sure about Kayla’s loyalty which is why I thought it’ll be better I tell him that I met with Kayla and we talked for a while. “I was just thinking about my conversation with Kayla.” The smile on his face slowly turned sour the moment he heard what I said about meeting with Kayla. “Why did you meet with her? Callen you know that you’re taking a big risk because this is the same person that celeb

    Kayla's POV. The meeting at the neighboring pack had run quite longer than I expected and when the front door closed behind me, I was relieved. It had been an impromptu gathering and even though I loved being Luna, I loved being home with my husband more. With a tired sigh, I made my way past the guards and servants littered around the house to my room, shaking my head in response to their greetings. All I wanted now was a long soak in the bathtub, maybe a massage and then some much needed rest. Strange noises reached my ears as I took the stairs leading up to my room and I frowned wondering where they were coming from. My husband, Alpha Jackson wouldn't be home by this time being the busy alpha that he was so there was no way those noises were coming from the room. At least that's what I tried to tell myself but the noises grew louder and became more audible as I got closer. I placed my shaky hand on the doorknob and turned it, dreading what I might find.

    Kayla's POV Two weeks later…..“How is my child?” I asked the doctor as she walked into my room two weeks later. I had been in the hospital for two weeks now and neither Jackson nor Lyra had been here to see me. They had both betrayed me more than anyone could ever have and yet they still lacked the decency to check on me. Didn't I deserve that much?Lyra was the only family I had left besides Jackson who had become my husband. How could they do this to me and not show any form of remorse? The doctor had explained that because of the fall, the life of my child and mine was at risk and prescribed that I get enough rest. If I had lost my child then it would have been their fault. How could they show such little concern after what they had done? Even if I was terribly upset about everything, the most important thing for me was that my child was alright and I could actually save it from any further harm. I had been hooked on drugs since I got admitted and was usually sleeping an

    “What do you want Kayla? I'd you're not going to sign the papers then don't make things difficult, alright? Just move on and let me do the same!” He yelled as he recovered from the slap I had given him. Laughter bubbled up inside me and I gave in, holding my sides as pain shot through my body. Like the doctor said I needed lots of rest but I was done taking Jackson's bullshit as well. “How can you be so shameless, Jackson? How can you do this to me? After everything we've been through together, the best you could do was cheat on me with my sister?!” Gasps erupted around us indicating that we now had an audience but I couldn't be bothered because I was livid. “You're making a scene,” he hissed as his cheeks turned pink. I chuckled, acknowledging how embarrassed he probably felt to be called out in front of his pack members. “Don't be like that Jack, surely you can handle a little scolding in front of your people or wouldn't you like for them to know the kind of person their rule

    Alpha Callan's POV When Drevan informed me of a trespasser at the border, I wasn't interested. I had ordered him to kill whoever it was on the spot not interested in entertaining such people. However, he came back and did the opposite of what I ordered. He even brought her here to our base. Damn it, I cursed as I walked with him towards the pack clinic where the woman was currently being examined. “Did you check her for bombs and another sample substances?” I asked randomly as we drew closer to the clinic. “She was unconscious when we found her so we were careful not to disturb her,” A sigh of frustration left my lips as I realized he had been playing safe. If she had been injured and they moved her too much, it could have resulted in more injuries even internally. As much as I detested spies and liars, the idea of causing harm to someone else didn't sit well with me either. “That's fine,” I muttered as I walked into the clinic. Drevan held the door open for me and the minute
