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

    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

    Writer's povDrevan took it upon himself to find out if Kayla was really telling the truth by taking a trip back to the park, he went as a guest from a neighboring pack even though Callen was not informed. While he was leaving he told Callen he would be spending a few days with his mother and wouldn't return until after one week. “Why am I doing this?” Draven asked himself as he was driving to the other pack. After a very long drive he finally arrived. Drevan was surprised to see how much the pack had changed from the last time he sneaked into the pack. “He must have made a lot of money.” Drevan muttered to himself and got out of the car. He looked around and couldn't help but admire it. Seeing that Kayla left such luxury made him even more suspicious. “My suspicions are never wrong.” Drevan muttered to himself. “Who are you?” One of the guards asked him and immediately Drevan turned to look at the young man standing in front of him. “I'm here to see Alpha Jackson.” “Is he exp

    Callen povI can’t believe he’s away when I need him the most, the investors are going to be here in less than two days and Drevan took a three day break. I couldn’t object because it’s his mother’s health and she’s like a mother to me too. It’s been more than five years now and it’s been both of us running the company together even though I am the CEO of the company. “Alpha Callen, I just got a call from Drevan he said he’ll be returning tomorrow.” I raised my head to look at Giovanni when I heard what he said, then I checked my phone again to see if it’s turned off because why would he call Giovanni instead of calling me. “Did you just say Drevan called you?” I asked to confirm if I heard correctly. “Yes, he called a few minutes ago.” Giovanni replied to me immediately. I decided not to create a scene, the good thing is he’ll be returning before the investors get here. I checked my phone again after excusing Giovanni from my presence. “Why didn’t he call me?” I asked myself whi

    Writer’s povAfter hesitating for a while Kayla finally decided to join Callen just as he had requested. Meanwhile Callen was already seated at the dining table waiting for Kayla to join him, to his greatest surprise the person that joined him was Ella. He has told her several times to join him but she’s been rejecting so he was wondering why she suddenly took the initiative of joining all of a sudden. “Are you joining me for dinner?” Callen asked curiously. “Yes, aren’t you happy about it?” Ella asked with a bright smile on her face. She could tell that Callen didn’t look as pleased as she thought he would be to hear that she would finally be joining him on the dinning, but she pretended not to notice that he was not exactly pleased with her sudden move. “You’re free to join, I don’t know what’s keeping Kayla in her room.” Ella’s mood turned sour the moment she heard what Callen said even though she tried not to make it obvious. “Maybe she doesn't wish to join.” Ella replied to

    Kayla’s pov“I want you to make sure that you stay far from my brother, he doesn’t need someone like you in his life.” I got confused for a moment when I heard what she said to me, what does she mean by that?“What are you talking about? What makes you say such a horrible word to me?” I asked her curiously. She turned back to look at me pointing a finger at me. “You think I don’t know what you are? I’m warning you because you would hate to see the worst I can do.” Ella said, sounding very upset, at first I thought she was being immature with her hatred for me, but seeing the way she was talking made me realize it was more serious than I could have ever imagined. She spoke with so much vim of hatred towards me, what on earth have I done to her?I couldn’t say anything. I watched her until she was finally out of sight. I stood in the same spot trying to think about what I might have done wrong to her, that makes her hate me so much.After standing there for a while I headed back to th

    Writer’s povCallen went after Ella this time because he needed to understand her sudden change of character, she wasn’t always like this until Kayla got here, she picks offense practically over everything that he does and says. “What is wrong with you Ella, stop walking while I’m talking!” He scolded angrily and immediately she stopped walking and folded her hands across her chest angrily. Ella was fuming and she didn’t want to say the wrong word to Callen which is why she didn’t want to talk to him at the moment. “This is not you Ella, what happened to my little peaceful Ella?” Ella wasn’t pleased with what he said because he clearly still sees her like a little sister and that’s what pisses her off the most, the fact that he calls her his little sister, which means he might never see her beyond that. “Can you stop, please stop! Why do you always refer to me as your little sister? Can’t you see that I don’t want to be like that to you? I’m not your sister, I’m Ella.” She said to

    Kayla povI was still in the process of getting myself what to wear after my conversation with Sheila. We went back to find something that I could wear for the day but we still couldn't find anything. Just then we heard a knock on the door and Sheila immediately went to get the door.Callan walked into the room with some shopping bags. I thought he said he didn't like going shopping, surprisingly he's here with shopping bags which obviously means he went shopping today. “Hey.” I said to him with a faint smile on my face. Sometimes I see this very striking resemblance between him and Jackson but I just tried to overlook it, they are brothers after all so definitely they must alike one way or the other.Right now as he was standing in front of me I could tell I saw Jackson's face. That's how much they look alike.“Kayla.” He tapped my shoulder gently and I immediately snapped out of my mindless thoughts and raised my head to look at him properly and stopped thinking about Jackson.“Wha

    Kayla's povFew days had passed and Callan and I were ready to move on with our plan of buying the shares from his father's company and also ruining the contract but the day hadn't come yet. Drevan had his boys tailing Jackson and making sure that we know about every contact he has with his business partners so that we won't miss the opportunity of ruining the contract. Based on their last meeting and the last information that we were given it states that today is today he is going meet with his foreign investors from China. They are not aware of who he is, they think he is a complete human, they don't know he is a werewolf so this is the golden opportunity that we found.No one in a normal world would want to have a relationship with someone that is not completely human so the Golden chance we were talking about is exposing his identity to the investors, that way they will not be able to invest in his new company and the contract will also be canceled.I woke up this morning feeling

    Writer's pov Kayla had no other choice but to accept what Callan wants even though it wasn't her choice she just had to accept the maid and maybe it's really what she wants because she is still heavily pregnant.“You can come in.” Kayla said to her with a faint smile on her face and it will be ungrateful if she doesn't thank Callan for being thoughtful about her.“Thank you for the effort.” Kayla said to him and closed the door immediately. Callan was pleased she thanked him because he thought that maybe she finally understood how important it was to have help, especially with her present condition.“So what is your name?” Kayla asked the Young curiously.“My name is Sheila.” “Nice name.” Kayla said as she was nodding her head with a faint smile on her face. “It's an honor to work here in the Pack house especially for someone that is special to the Alpha.“I promise it's nothing like that, he is just a nice person.” Sheila smiled when she heard what Kayla said to her. The idea of ha

    Kayla's povI didn't want memories from my marriage with Jackson to ruin my day. All I want to talk about today is how to take my revenge on him and the perfect plan that would make him go through worse pain than he made me go through.“Kayla right now what is important is getting back at him, stop thinking about the things that he did to you, think about what you can do to him to make him pay.” Callan's word was exactly what she needed at this moment; she needed someone that could help her boost her morale and make her understand that hurting Jackson is the best plan to go with.They were about to start with the plots when Drevan walked up to them. Callan looked at him and smiled because he knew that Drevan would be back.“I am not here because I trust you, I'm only here to help my friend with his revenge plan so do not even think anything has changed.” I was satisfied with what he just said as long as he is with us because he's the only one that can help with everything Callan is su

    Writer's povDrevan looked at Kayla from head to toe and then he realized her pregnancy was progressing very well because the last time he was here belly wasn't this big.“I just asked you what are you doing here?” He repeated the question and Kayla immediately snapped out of her thought. She was wondering why Drevan suddenly came back to the pack house because it seems like both of them had a misunderstanding and he hasn't visited in a while.“I-i.. am here to see Callan.” Kayla stuttered. “Callan? You call him that? Don't you realize that he is the Alpha here so what makes you think you have the right to call him by his name without any honorifics?” “I am sorry if that upset you. I shouldn't have called him by his name like that.” Kayla apologized immediately. She was so upset because of the way Drevan was talking to her. But she had to keep in the anger so that he would allow her to speak to Callan who she is here to speak to.“Guess what, I visited your pack and I got to know a

    Kayla’s povI still didn't feel like the plan was good enough because I do not want us to make any mistake and I feel like buying shares from the company might be a big mistake. “So when you buy the shares, what next? Because you need to take the next step.” I said to him because I don’t want him to make any mistakes. This plan of buying shares from his father's company could literally make him go bankrupt if things don't go well.“Yh, I know I have to get myself a back up plan but I need to make sure that I buy the shares first before any other person would.” I heaved a sigh when I heard what he said because it's a very risky step to take. I don't know how he's going to do it but we're definitely not going to be able to start this plan without a backup plan if anything goes wrong. Callan concluded by insisting that he would buy the company shares and start his revenge plan. No, I was more concerned about the contract and how we will be able to stop it because once it is stopped th

Anything that will bring Jackson’s downfall is what I want the most right now. The moment I got back to the room I couldn't stop pacing around and waiting for the right time for us to have the conversation so that we can start working on whatever it is that he just found out. I still don't know why he stopped talking because he was already saying everything but he suddenly stopped talking and asked that we have the conversation later because of her presence there. I had to say later would be better but at that momen

    Writer's povWhen Callan got out of the room he headed downstairs and sat on the couch angrily, while he was sitting there Nyx came to join him. “I'm sorry if my actions might have affected your relationship with her, you know how I am and how I don't easily trust people.”“All I want from you is your trust. I just told you to trust that both of us have nothing going on, that way you wouldn't have to bother suspecting that there is something going on.” Callan said to Nyx calmly.Both of them were slowly squashing their beef. And Nyx hopes that by the time they are done having this conversation their relationship will go back to the way it used to be and she will make sure she doesn't give him a reason to get upset with her again. At least until they are finally married.“I'm sorry.” Nyx apologized giving him a childish remorseful look, Callan had no other choice but to forgive her and try to fix his friendship with Kayla.“Okay, we're good.” He said to Nyx with a bright smile on her

    Writer's povThe next morning. Kayla woke up very early because she had a little stomach upset, she didn't know if it had to do with the pregnancy or it's because she didn't eat enough last night.She stood up from the bed with her heavy belly and walked out of the room gently. The pregnancy symptoms were beginning to hurt even more because her belly was already very big.While she was heading downstairs Callan stepped out of his room and sighted her struggling to walk down the stairs because of her pregnancy.“Oh my goodness Kayla.” He rushed up to her and held her hand so that he could help her walk downstairs. Kayla was not totally happy about his kind gestures because she doesn't want it to give Nyx a different signal and make her think that both of them have a different relationship apart from just friendship. “I can help myself.” Kayla said to him, sounding very tired. “Obviously you can, I can tell from your voice.” Kayla rolled her eyes when she heard what he said because h
