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
Netayam's POV.********Two days earlier…(Alpha Netayam's room)Beta Ray seemed convinced that I intended to harm him, perhaps even banish him, all because he had dared to kiss Adora, who, by rights, should be my Luna. However, the situation wasn't that straightforward.In difference, Kayla had a straightforward plan; instil fear in Ray. Yet, I was inclined to take a more complicated method. I entertained the idea of allowing him to accept a more important role. Letting him get closer to Adora.Leaning in, I pressed him firmly against the chilly wall, a sneer forming on my lips. "What if I proposed a request, and you had no choice but to comply, Ray? Would you be able to do that?" I inquired, relishing the tension in the air.He stammered, fear evident in his eyes, as I held him in place. "I... I'll comply with any request you make, Alpha Netayam! Please, spare my life!" he pleaded, his body quivering under my grip.Releasing my grip on his neck, I took a step back, observing as h
Netayam's POV. "It is done!" I mumbled beneath my breath, my words barely above a whisper, sneaking a glance at Beta Ray and his new mate standing at the altar with happy smiles adorning their faces. He turned to me, expressing gratitude with a bow. In response, I couldn't help but bow back, showing my excitement for him at that moment. Then, I shifted my focus to my mate, Kayla. "I bet she misses me so much!" I assumed, as I began to take deliberate steps closer to her. Despite her looking so unwell, I was determined to find out the reason once I got closer to her. However, just as I took about three steps toward where she was standing, something unexpected happened right before my eyes. Kayla, who had been looking weak, suddenly collapsed right before my eyes, and the eyes of everyone present. "Kayla!!!" My eyes widened in shock, and my heart raced incessantly at the unfolding scene. Panic gripped everyone around her, but my fear surpassed theirs in that critical moment.
Kayla's POV."Where am I?" I questioned the moment my eyes blinked open. A surge of confusion gripped me, and I found myself in a weird place.Despite the strain in my voice and the difficulty in forming words, a resolute determination pushed me to seek answers about my surroundings.Attempting to sit up, a sudden, sharp pang shot through my head, causing me to wince. Instinctively, I reached for my head, clutching it in the hope of relieving the pain. Briefly, my eyes closed, and as they gradually reopened, a stark realisation dawned upon me; I wasn't in the familiar confines of the Pack's mansion; instead, I found myself situated within the sterile walls of a hospital. The revelation stirred a myriad of questions within me, fueling a growing sense of curiosity and concern about the events that led to my current location."Oh no!" I gasped, the memory rushing back of being in the hall before everything went black."Ugh, I've made a big mistake!" I mumbled, biting my lower lip in
