Netayam's POV.Returning from the fields, I spotted Kyle sneaking towards his assigned room. Curiosity piqued and I quickened my steps, approaching him as he struggled with the stubborn door."Where are you coming from?" I inquired, my gaze fixed on his face as he turned to meet my eyes. There was an evident unease about him; his hands trembled on the doorknob, signalling that he was involved in something suspicious.He hesitated, a pause pregnant with the weight of an undisclosed secret, one that seemed to have a direct connection to me."I... I didn't see you there, Alpha!" Kyle's tone shifted, accompanied by a forced laugh, an attempt to divert my attention from the fact that he had left and returned without notice."I saw you coming in unusually early, Kyle, and it made me curious. So, what's the story? Where are you coming from?" I inquired once again, closing the distance between us.He took a step back, an instinctive move to put some space between us, but I paid no heed. Clos
Netayam's POV.Standing by the window in my room, I found myself with folded hands, gazing into the night. A sense of uneasy discomfort flowed through my nerves, an undeniable sensation as darkness enveloped the pack beyond the glass pane."You forced my hand, Kyle! Your actions led me here, you made me want to do this." I directed my words toward Kyle, In a soft murmur.I reached up to touch the bridge of my nose, pinching it gently, a sigh escaping my lips.The trigger for all this madness was Kyle. Despite being my brother, I never intended to pursue or confront him. It seemed, however, that he was determined to take the difficult path.His actions, especially involving my mate, had effects. The time had come for him to be held responsible for the crimes he had committed over an extended period.His passion to control my mate blinded him to the fact that, as her mate, I possessed complete control over Kayla's powers. What he held was merely a bit of her abilities.Fists clenched,
Netwyam's POV."Kill him, Kayla! And now!" Kyle's command echoed through the space, and in that moment, I witnessed a chilling shift in Kayla's eyes. The spark of her will to kill, to tear, the determination to end it all, glowed ominously her eyes. Guilt clawed at me; she had endured so much, and my actions were at the root of her suffering. Yet, I couldn't allow Kyle to seize control of her, to control her powers.The full moon loomed above, its glow casting an eerie atmosphere. I couldn't risk attempting to shape shift into a werewolf yet under these circumstances, realising that Kyle had strategically chosen this spot to manipulate and distract me with the full moon."Listen to me, Kayla, you are…" As I attempted to intervene, my eyes locked with Kayla's. I started, but my words were abruptly cut off. In a swift and forceful motion, her fist connected with my face, the impact lifting and hurling me into the woods.The moment my back collided with the unyielding surface of the
Netayam's POV.As my eyes slowly opened, I found myself once again within the comforting walls of the Pack, greeted by the sight of Kayla lying close beside me. A radiant smile instantly adorned my lips, an indication of the joy I felt at her closeness.Gazing at her serene face, I couldn't help but recall the events of the previous night. I vividly recalled the moments when she effortlessly threw me to the ground, and, to my embarrassment, proceeded to pin me down. With a playful grin, I teasingly remarked, "You nearly killed me last night, cupcake!" My words were accompanied by a continued smile, appreciating the peaceful and calm expression she directed my way.At this moment, I found myself irresistibly drawn to her, prompting me to instinctively wrap my arms around her peacefully slumbering body. A content smile lingered on my lips as I pulled her even closer to me, showering a gentle kiss on her forehead while tenderly caressing it. In that silent embrace, I couldn't help b
Kayla's POV."It's nothing, trust me!" His voice and words echoed in my mind as I sat on the bed, staring blankly at the door before me.The room felt empty, and a sense of unease and discomfort gnawed at my veins. Being alone in such a large room was far from comforting. The absence of Alpha Netayam was keenly felt, and I longed to see him instantly. However, the reality was that he was in the conference hall with the elders, and it wasn't appropriate for me to disrupt their meeting by seeking him out.The inner struggle between my desire to be with him and the need to respect the rules of pack dynamics left me in a state of restless anticipation.Standing up, my body aching, I felt an urge to leave the room. Stepping out, aware that I was in a safe space, I decided to stroll around the mansion.Every corner I explored served as a reminder of the scars I had seen on Alpha Netayam's body. It instilled a sense of fear in me. It was evident that something dangerous had occurred the p
Kayla's POV.As I watched Ray firmly grasp her hand, leading her along, I found myself grappling with the unknown reason for her presence. The guards, in their vigilant pursuit, only heightened my curiosity. A series of thoughts flooded my mind: Why was she here? What sent the guards to tackle this search for her? It was a puzzle that begged to be solved. Ray's protective behaviour and the guard's cautious escort suggested there was more to her story.I couldn't resist the urge to piece together the pieces of information available to me. Initially, she seemed determined on jumping over the fence, and now, a squad of guards was dedicated to protecting her. My assumption led me to the realisation that Netayam, my Mate, hadn't informed me about this unexpected visitor. It became obvious that the elders must have staged her arrival, a disclosure that deepened the intrigue surrounding her presence in the mansion."What?" A startled gasp escaped my lips, and my eyes widened with disbe
Netayam's POV."Let Adora stay tonight, Muffin! Trust me on this!" Kayla insisted persistently, her unexpected plan sounding more and more implausible."What?" I exclaimed in confusion, staring at her with disbelief. The notion of allowing Adora to stay in my room seemed unbelievable."Come on, Muffin, it isn't a big deal, you know!" She tried to reassure me, but her words only fueled my frustration. Was she serious, or was this some kind of twisted joke? She was supposed to be protective, not urging me to share a room with a Breeder."I... I can't do it, Kayla! There's no way I'm letting myself go that low! I can't let her stay in my room, and I can't sleep with her!" I declared firmly, turning away, my will unwavering as I made my way to the couch in my room.Sitting on the couch, I couldn't resist massaging my temples, trying to make sense of Kayla's unexpected and seemingly tormenting plan. It felt like she had tossed me into a whirlwind of confusion knowingly."You need to trust
Netayam's POV. ********* Two Days Later…Mating Ceremony. "Here you go, Alpha Netayam!" Beta Ray announced with a hint of respect in his voice, assisting me in slipping into my crisp white suit jacket. He positioned himself in front of me, his hands fidgeting with nervous energy as he gently and calmly tried his best to adjust my tie. Despite his evident tension, I reached for his trembling hand, which was fastening my tie. In that moment, his eyes locked onto mine. "What are you scared of this time, Beta Ray?" I inquired, a friendly smile playing on my lips as I regarded him closely. Observing him at such close distance, it seemed as if he might be on the verge of tears. However, I didn't want that; after all, he was a Beta and expected to carry himself as such. "It's nothing, Alpha Netayam… I am just…" he began, but I swiftly interrupted his sentence. "Don't bother anymore; let me knot my tie myself!" I asserted, ready to take charge of the situation. However, he insisted and
