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
Kayla's POV.The persistent throbbing in my head weighed heavily on me, compelling me to shut my eyes tightly. My hand instinctively reached for my aching head, silently begging or pleading for relief from the tormenting pain that seemed impossible to stop.In the midst of grappling with the pain, a gentle and chilly sensation graced my hand, instantly jolting me into heightened alertness. Startled, I snapped my eyes open, ready to question the strange presence."Who are..." I began to utter but my intention to sit up was prevented by the heartwarming appearance of Alpha Netayam. His reassuring presence cut through my words, wrapping me in a comforting embrace of safety and relaxation."Stay calm, I'm here," he asserted, his words acting as a soothing balm to my frazzled nerves. The comfort of his presence allowed me to release the tension, letting a sense of calm wash over me in the face of the lingering pain.As I scanned my surroundings, the realisation dawned upon me that I ha
Kayla's POV."How long will you let Kara make a fool of you? Listen, Kayla… I want a Smart Mate and not a Naive little Omega!"His words struck like a jolting and frightening shock to my heart, my hands instinctively reaching for my chest in an attempt to suppress the pain, the ache.It felt as though a sharp-edged dagger had mercilessly pierced through my thumping heart. The effect of his words was deep, creating an incredible hurt that haunted me relentlessly. No matter how hard I tried to ignore or shake off the effect, the pain persisted, an unpleasant feeling that refused to be tossed aside."What?" I cried out softly, tears streaming down my ashen cheeks. The emotional unrest within me spilled over, and I could no longer contain the hurt and sorrow that welled up inside me."You heard me right, Kayla!" He nonchalantly slipped his hands into his pockets, his narrowed glare fixed on my position."We both know how naive you could be. It's high time you stop being that and act ma
Netayam's POV.My fists involuntarily clenched, caught in the whirlwind of thoughts and memories from the recent conflict in my room with Kayla.The echoes of the argument with Kayla, my mate, reverberated in my mind, creating an internal storm of troubling emotions.In an attempt to break free from the worry that gripped me, my hand instinctively sought the tip of my nose, a subtle pinch signalling my desire to halt these relentless thoughts about her.A question lingered in the air, laden with fear: "She won't leave the pack mansion, right? It was just a threat, nothing more?" My heart raced at the mere possibility of her leaving the pack for only Goddess knows where.Despite the tension, my knowledge of Kayla's character prompted a decision. It was sensible to remain seated in my study room, allowing time and space for her to calm down; a pretence of control in the midst of emotional uproar, just as I desired.Rising from the chair I sat on, I turned to glance behind me, taking in
Kayla's POV."The moment you step beyond these gates, Kayla, you lose the title of being the Luna in Ravenwood pack, and I mean every single word!" Netayam's stern declaration echoed in the air, causing me to come to an abrupt stop.With a heavy heart, I slowly turned around, meeting his unyielding gaze fixed upon me. Clenching my tender fingers around the strap of my bag, I braced myself for more. I had hoped for a more compassionate reaction, the caring demeanour he usually displayed, but it seemed I was only deceiving myself and imagining too.Blinking back tears that threatened to cascade down my ashen cheeks, I forced a smile onto my lips, attempting to conceal the pain that pierced through me. I stood there, poised for what would come next, my response ready as I navigated the unexpected turn in our interaction."I'd rather be with the Draco's than stay with you, Alpha Netayam!" With those words hanging in the air, I swiftly turned on my heels, dismissing any anticipation of a
