Kayla's POV."You might be my Mate but don't you dare mention my brother's name from those lips of yours, do you understand?!"Alpha Netayam's words reverberated in my mind, leaving an unforgettable mark in my heart.My hands rested firmly on my hips, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of panic as I tried to understand his intentions.Kara, she was no ordinary girl. If he gets on closer to her tonight, I knew it wouldn't result in anything good.I let out a deep sigh as I sank onto the edge of the bed, the very spot where Alpha Netayam had taken a seat earlier. His words still echoed in my ears, his anger flaring when I mentioned his brother Kyle's name and spoke about his death.Strangely, his fury resonated with me in a way that I secretly enjoyed. My gaze shifted to my hands, and I couldn't help but question whether my feelings were veering into the part of jealousy."Was I really jealous?" I pondered, biting my lower lip for a moment. "I mean, it was just to protect him from all
Kara's POV."How dare you try to…" I was about to voice my frustration when, much to my surprise, Kayla hit me right across the face so hard.The force of her slap was astonishingly painful, and it hit me like a sudden storm. I broke down to the ground, landing squarely on my butt, creating an unmistakable thud that resonated in my ears.My hands instinctively rushed to my stinging cheek, and with a quick motion, I turned to gaze at Kayla in utter disbelief. Her face was contorted with anger, and for the first time in a long while, I felt a hint of fear in her presence.Kayla had never struck me on the face before. In fact, she had never really fought for herself. She had always been the quiet, submissive Omega who was never expected to show such boldness. It almost felt like I was caught in a surreal moment."Never, ever…" Kayla took a deliberate step closer to where I sat on the sandy ground, my body already partially covered in beach sand."In your entire life, dare you lay those f
Kara's POV.Making my way over to the table bedeck with drinks, I couldn't resist picking up a glass and taking a gulp. The visible anger in my demeanour was apparent with every swallow, yet the anticipation of what was about to happen, the looming affairs unfolding before my eyes, fueled my determination.At that moment, I spotted the party attendant carrying a tray with two glasses of drinks. His course was directed towards Kayla, who was seated, seemingly lost in her thoughts. Despite being expected to be with Alpha Netayam, it appeared they had a disagreement, leading her to leave the room.As she received the drink from the attendant, a smile involuntarily curled up on my lips before I pivoted on my heels, ready to witness the events that would follow."This is going to be fun!" A sinister sneer twisted upon my lips as I made my way to the nearest bench behind me. Fully engrossed in sipping from my cup and surveying the surroundings, I suddenly noticed people hastily running i
Netayam's POV."Kayla…." I emitted a soft groan, the sound tinged with remorse, as my arms instinctively coiled tightly around Kayla's body. Deep down, I realised my wrongdoing. The memories of the heated argument from the previous night over the party lingered, and a sincere desire to apologise welled up within me.Drawing nearer to her, I pressed my face against her hair, attempting to catch that familiar morning aroma that had become a comforting routine. The essence of her presence had been sorely missed, and I was determined not to let it slip away again.A genuine intention to reconcile with my mate replaced the inclination to engage in unnecessary arguments at every turn. A hopeful smile played on my lips as I inhaled deeply, anticipating the sweet scent that usually greeted me. However, to my disappointment, what met my senses was an entirely different fragrance, sparking a heightened sense of curiosity and an unsettling realisation.Getting sober because I was certain I w
Netayam's POV. Standing before the door, my eyes fixated on the unpleasant and anger-intensifying sight of Kayla and Alpha Lex cuddling and sleeping together. My fists clenched, eyes widened, heart racing, and beads of sweat forming on my forehead. "Kayla…" I gasped, heavy breaths escaping my lips as I stared at them. "You see what I told you? She isn't a saint as you tagged her to be. She is…" Kara, standing right behind me, whispered, attempting to intensify the rage boiling within me. At this point, I didn't want to hear anybody's voice, not even hers. The weight of the scene before me settled heavily, reshaping the reality I thought I knew. "Shut that trap hole of yours, Kara! Before I shut it for you!" I warned, turning my face halfway to meet hers. She immediately obeyed, and with fury coursing through every nerve and part of my body, I walked closer to the bed. Without hesitation, I called out, "Kayla!" Instantly, Kayla's eyes snapped open, and upon seeing Alpha Lex
Kayla's POV."Please, Alpha Netayam… don't leave, please!" I pleaded desperately, rushing over to where Netayam stood. With a swift motion, I embraced him from behind, my arms wrapping around his waist in an attempt to stop him, to hinder him from leaving the room.In my hopeful moment, I believed this embrace would keep him in place. I thought he would instantly believe and understand me, but instead, all I got from him was a cold shoulder.His gaze lowered to my hand, and with a quick and forceful motion which was harsh, he pulled my hand off his body before pushing me away."Let go!" My hands swiftly left his body, and I found myself stumbling to the ground. The thudding of my butt against the ground echoed the regret and sorrow I felt, both for myself and for Netayam. The room resonated with the raw emotions, a painful ballet of rejection and heartache.He has always been there for me, but now, I found myself caught in bed with Alpha Lex not even sure how it happened.Yet, what
Kayla's POV. "Now I know why she did what she did last night and tried claiming the Alpha to herself!" She divulged, making me pause for a second before speaking up. "What?" My eyes widened in disbelief at every sound or word the lady said to me. "You were drugged last night by one of the party attendants. I saw it with my own eyes, Kayla…" She was going to hold my hand but then, I took a step backward. "You even know my name? How?" I asked, looking confused even more. "You belong to the Alpha. Not everyone knows about his hidden Luna, but I do…and I know you are she! The one who got rejected by the Silvermoon Alpha," she asserted, making me wonder who she really was, though. "If you know I belong to Alpha Netayam… then why did you let me drink it? Why didn't you tell anyone? Why didn't you tell Alpha Netayam?" I questioned, staring at her with mistrust for a split second. "No one would believe a mate-less old Omega, Kayla… but trust me when I say Kara is the one behind it all.
Kayla's POV. The haunting plea, "Kill me, Kayla! Kill me!" reverberated ceaselessly within the pits of my mind, an unrelenting echo I futilely attempted to stop, grappling with the impossibility of the task.The painful and bewildering image of my mother surfaced in the merciless embrace of raging flames left a memorable imprint of fear and simmering anger on my mind, a disturbing whirlpool of emotions swirling within.In the midst of this emotional uproar, a sudden searing pain lanced through my back, an unexpected attack delivered by Kara's unforgiving slash. Immediately, a harsh and violent reaction happened, my eyes ablaze with an intense crimson hue, and an unexpected surge of newfound powers coursed through my being.My gaze pivoted sharply towards Kara, my fist involuntarily clenching in response to the overwhelming surge of emotions. "Ka... Kayla?" she stammered, fear etched across her face, beads of sweat forming on her forehead as she attempted to flee, a palpable sense o
