KAEL.

“Who gave Adessa to you as a gift?” I asked.

I didn’t want to believe that anyone around me could have done this. But at this point, I knew everything was possible—even friends could be enemies in the shadow.

Was she abducted by someone from my pack and handed to Draco’s brother? Or was she taken by them the moment she stepped out of my border?

“Answer me!” My patience was running thin.

Instead of answering, Draco let out a sarcastic chuckle and shook his head. “Are we friends?”

I already knew what would come after this, and I was right. He would never tell me more.

“Why would I tell you? I’m not going to help you weed out the snakes in your prairie, Kael. Go figure it out yourself.”

I was so close to throwing another curse on his face, but I stopped myself. I didn’t want to add more to the arrogance in him. I would not let him laugh at me any more.

“Then, I guess my time is up here.” I patted my Delta’s back and turned around, heading toward the car.

He was confused. He couldn't remember her so natural instinct was to push her away

These are questions you should have asked before chasing her away! Little too late!

Adessa is the true loving Luna not the ex cheating girlfriend that banished and broke the engagement off, cause you caught her cheating on you in your bed, then you found Adessa by the lake trying to feed herself.

    KAEL.“Was she sad when I was in a coma?”“She was miserable.” Landon glanced at me and gave me a weak smile before turning his attention back to the road. “Her eyes were always puffy by morning, so I knew she was crying herself to sleep. But she would still do her duties, running the household and making decisions for the pack. She lost weight. The colors in her eyes were gone. She would smile, but not the same smile she carried before. She kept her agony to herself, but she made sure the surroundings looked happy. She added more flowers around the house and your room so when you wake up, the house wouldn’t look dull.”The flowers that Miranda said were Desiree’s doing. This was, of course, a lie, as since Adessa left, the house had never had any fresh flowers around. “And you know what’s funny? She would dress up every day in blue because that’s your favorite color. She wanted to look pleasant in your eyes once you wake up.”“And I told her to fuck off when I did,” I mumbled under m

    MIRANDA. I was supposed to be at my friend’s housewarming party, but I had to cut short my presence because my incompetent mate failed his task again. Dexter had only one job—to eliminate Kael before he realized who was running the show in his life—but he couldn’t do it perfectly. I was getting frustrated.He was supposed to eliminate Kael and Landon in the accident that took Kael's memory. For some reason, Landon didn’t drive Kael that day, and poor Onald became the victim. But Kael survived. Again.This was not the first time Dexter staged an accident for him. Dexter also attempted to set fire to one of the warehouses he and Kael visited. Kael was in the middle of the warehouse and was far from the exits when the fire broke out, but someone noticed it right away before it reached an explosion. No one was harmed, and Kael didn’t get even a scratch.Today, again, he failed.Dexter made sure he had an excuse to stay behind and let Landon drive them to their deaths, but like a cat wit

    DELTA LANDON.“Adessa is in danger.” Alpha Kael said, and I wanted to jump out of my seat. What the fuck happened to his statement: “I can’t trust anyone at the moment?” I wanted to laugh, but the seriousness on the Alpha’s face made me swallow my chuckle. I had no idea what he planned to do, as he didn’t tell me anything, but I guess I just had to wait and see. “What do you mean Adessa is in danger?” Dexter asked. “Where is she?”“I thought she left.” Desiree butted in, her arms crossed against her chest. “Did she accidentally trip on her own feet and land face down on the ground full of shattered glass so she looks so awful that she became a danger to herself?”“Enough, Desire…” Miranda cut her off, and Desiree just rolled her eyes before letting out a huff.Miranda then turned her attention to the Alpha. “Where is she? And why is she in danger?” She sounded so concerned that I wanted to laugh again.If anyone here didn’t like Luna Adessa, Miranda would be the first on the line.

    MIRANDA. I couldn’t believe Kael’s revelation!How on earth did he find Adessa? And why did Alpha Draco not call me to inform me that Adessa had escaped him?I was not sure if Adessa knew or met Alpha Draco when she was kidnapped or if she was able to run away before she realized where she would be taken. So I had to be careful, as she might have told Kael about him. Even if I wanted to confront Alpha Draco, I knew I shouldn’t do it, as Kael might be watching him closely if Adessa dropped his name. This was getting messier! Everything was spiraling out of my control. If Dexter had driven with him to Bayson City instead of planning the failed car accident, then he could have known where he had taken Adessa. But he was stupid to think the car accident timing should be today.Aah!I was fuming mad, and even if Dexter wanted a word with me after we left Kael’s office, I pushed him away as I thought Landon would come out of the office and might realize we were talking or had gone off som

    KAEL.After my conversation with Landon, I asked him to drive me to the center. I bought a new phone and called Rasmus. It took three transfers before I was finally able to catch him. "Holy shit! Is that you? Damn, Kael, I thought you're already dead." He began as soon as our lines connected. I chuckled. "What do you mean?""I haven't heard from you for a long time. The last time I called you, Dexter said you went out hunting. I called three times that day, and you were still out hunting. I called a week later and was given the same reason." He snickered.It must have been during the time I was in a coma. I wondered why they didn't tell my closest family about my condition. "I didn't know hunting has been your new favorite pastime." He continued. "I thought no one can beat fucking, especially when you have a Luna...""I need help." I cut him off. As much as I wanted to joke around with Rasmus, I had no more energy today. Not when I had many things in my head."Should I feel hurt?

    KAEL.“I don’t know. I can’t remember anything about her, but…” I paused.“But?” she asked.“But I crave her.” I didn’t know why I let those words slip out. I couldn’t even admit that to myself, but for some reason, it flew out of my tongue as if it were the general truth. Desiree’s chest heaved as her nose flared.In just two steps, she was in front of me. Her hand flew and landed on my cheek. She slapped me hard, and it sting. But it didn’t break anything within me. It didn’t rattle my senses, unlike when we were younger, whenever she was fuming mad at me. So I knew this was the end of us.I didn’t want to hurt her, but I also didn’t want to shower her with words she would rather hear. “Shame on you, Kael! Adessa tricked you into marrying her once, and she’s doing it all over again! And you’re just letting her! Who knows, maybe the danger she's in is just a game she's playing to get your attention!" She stopped to take a deep breath, but then she continued. “Oh, how I wish she was

    ADESSA.It had been a week since I got here, more than two weeks since I left Kael, but the sickening feeling of someone watching me all the time had never faded. Being grabbed in a place I considered home and safe was traumatizing, and ending up killing two people was a never-ending nightmare I was still trying to get away from.Most nights, I would wake up sweaty and shaking as they invaded my sleep. The men I killed would crawl up from the ground and reach for me with their bloody hands. I had no idea what I feared most lately: being found by Alpha Draco’s men or dying from my nightmares.Why did it all come to this? All because I let Kael into my life. I didn’t see anything wrong with loving him. And whatever I did as his Luna was all done with a good heart. I never took advantage of my position nor talked down to anyone like how Miranda had always made it seem. Miranda. I wished I could tell people how badly she treated me. But of course, no one would believe me. She was the s

    ADESSA.“Kael…” I had no idea how I was able to speak as my throat felt dry.I felt like I would collapse—tired from all the running and shocked upon seeing him before me. Was I imagining things? But the warmth of the hands that went up to my arms and began rubbing them was real. I could feel him. “Did you sell me to Draco?” I asked him in a hoarse voice. I could say many other things, but I wanted to know if I was right that I was feeling relieved to see him. That he wasn’t the person behind the mess I was in.“What? Why would you think that?” He asked back, but before I could respond, he was already cursing. “Fuck!”My body was abruptly turned around, and I ended with my back slammed against the cold, rough wall. Kael pressed his body against mine with his hand resting on the wall beside my face and our foreheads touching each other’s. My eyes grew wider when I realized the position we were in. He was hovering over me, covering almost my whole body, and if you were looking from

    ADESSA. “Open your eyes, butterfly. I want to see you. All of you, until you come.” Kael’s voice was heady, and it made me feel wanted. My eyes were rolling as the heat in my body continued. I badly wanted to shut my eyes, but like a good girl, I kept them open, staring at the man who was the only light in my badly beaten life.My mouth parted, and my lashes fluttered as my orgasm built up. Kael picked up his pace, his hand on my waist, gripping it tightly as he kept pounding into me. It didn’t take long before I shuddered as my orgasm rippled through my whole body. Kael didn’t stop fucking me. All the while, we kept staring at each other, both panting and inhaling each other’s air. A few more hard thrusts and a guttural growl ripped from his throat as he let out his release.Inside me. “Fuck! Fuck!” He groaned after a while when the realization hit him. He leaned his forehead against mine, and we both closed our eyes. “I’m sorry, baby. If I pull out, it can spill on your dress….”

    THREE DAYS LATER. ADESSA.The last few days have been calm. We arrived at the North without any more trouble. Since this place was cold, we could go around without any worries. I could wear a winter hat, scarf, and thicker coat. The same was true for Kael. So it was not easy to spot us. The last days were the best I ever had if I didn’t include the times we talked about what needed to be done in case our mission failed. It made me nervous, but all of this showed me how much Kael was putting everything in his life on the line for me. I kept falling in love with him more and more. And the sex. Oh, Goddess! They were explosive. With us not restraining ourselves on how we felt, Kael had been adventurous and would always leave me wanting more. But despite us being disappointed I was not pregnant, we were not trying to have a baby. We were actually using contraceptives. We decided to wait until we could fix this trouble I was in. And I was okay with that. Maybe not getting pregnant wa

    ALPHA RASMUS. “You lied to me!” Desiree shrieked. I didn’t stop myself from laughing loudly. The audacity of her to scream that to my face when she did the same thing, and she did way worse than I was. I immediately cut my laughter short, and a scowl formed on my face. “I lied about being an Alpha to avoid women clinging to me as if I were a jackpot prize, while you lied because you wanted to cheat on Kael!”In seconds, she was already standing in front of my desk. Her hands slammed on the oak table as her eyes dilated. “Do not judge me when you’ve never been in my shoes!”My nose flared. I abruptly pushed the chair back and stood up, resting my hands on the desk before leaning my face closer to her. “Trust me. I never want to be in a whore’s shoes.”Everything happened so fast after that, and before I could react or do something, her small hand had already landed on my jaw and made my head swing to the right. I wasn’t expecting that. And it stung. “I’m not a whore! Take back wh

    ALPHA RASMUS. Alpha of the Hallowed Crest Pack. The drive to Ironcrest Pack territory went smoothly but was boring as fuck. I drove my own car, and another car followed me, with two of my men in there for security purposes. I didn’t have any enemies like Kael, but Draco knew I was helping him, so I also had to watch my back. I honestly didn’t know if I should thank Kael or not because my boring life was suddenly flipped over.I felt I was also running against time, making sure Kael and Adessa got safely to the north. In the past few weeks, I had made more phone calls and bribed more people than I had in all my years as an Alpha, all to ensure they had what they needed. But I had no regrets. Why the fuck do I help them or Kael in particular?No, not because of Savannah or Desiree, whoever the fuck she is, especially since I could tell Kael was smitten by his own wife or ex-wife. The desire to help him was primarily motivated by guilt because he saved my stupid ass, and it cost hi

    ADESSA. After I told Kael that I might be pregnant, I started to relax.In fact, I began to feel excited.I didn’t expect his reaction, which made everything perfect. Earlier, he told me he loved me, and his reaction to the pregnancy news supported that claim. Despite the fact that he couldn’t remember me, it was enough that he wanted me in his life, and he wanted to have a baby with me. We bought the pregnancy test kit and stopped by a fast-food restaurant. Kael ordered our food while I went to the restroom. He wanted to see the results with me, but he was taking too long to get here, and the results were ready. The line at the counter might be long, so I had to check this on my own. My hand trembled as I raised the test stick in my hand. One line. I was wrong. I wasn’t pregnant. I took a deep breath just in time for a knock to come. I lowered my hand and opened the door. Our gazes met, and I could still see the excitement in his eyes. I didn’t want to prolong the suspense

    ADESSA.We finally reached the regular road, and in no time, we were driving into the city. I kept looking back, checking if anyone was following us, but everything seemed normal so far.“You can sleep,” Kael told me.“I’m not that sleepy anymore. I will rest once we transfer to another car. I’m not comfortable here.”He simply nodded his head and continued driving. Kael called someone after his call with Rasmus, and we got confirmation for a new car we could use once we reached that place. And from there, it would just be a couple of hours before we reached the North.It was noon, and my stomach was churning from hunger, but I didn’t say anything. I wanted to have a new car first. So when we finally reached the car dealer building, Kael wasted no time and grabbed the keys, and we were already on our way out.He was holding my hand, and we were walking to the big parking lot where they pointed when my head suddenly felt light, and I almost stumbled if Kael was not able to hold me stead

    KAEL.“I love you, Kael.” Adessa’s voice came out soft, but I was sure I heard it. My foot stepped on the brakes, and the car came to a sudden halt, making our bodies jolt forward. “I’m sorry,” she gasped as her hands held onto the dashboard before her as if it could stop her from slamming there, but she had a seatbelt on, so I knew she was safely tucked in her seat.“Did you just say what I heard you say?” I asked, ignoring the apology that came out of her lips because I had no idea what she was apologizing for. “Well…” She stammered, then flashed me an embarrassed smile. “You said it first.” “I said. So you think…” A smile tugged at my mouth, but my eyes were watering. “...it was appropriate and polite to say it back?” I couldn’t contain the happiness in my chest.I had always been a storm, and Adessa was definitely sunshine. It was easy to love her, but I felt good and exhilarated knowing this little ball of sunshine and butterflies had fallen in love with me despite the bad w

    ADESSA.“I will make sure your perfect little wife will bow down to me and eat whatever fucking thing I serve her! And I will make you watch it…” Alpha Draco's words echoed in my head.Goosebumps rose from my skin as cold chills ran down my spine. I tried not to be frightened, but hearing him talk like that was like hearing a devil come to life. I coiled my hands into tight fists to stop my body from trembling. And Kael saw that. He kept looking at me as he spoke back to him. “Over my dead body, fucker. Stay on your line, or hide. Because this time, I’ll be the one hunting you!” He didn’t allow him to respond. After he was done talking, he dropped the call and threw the phone onto the dashboard before stepping on the brakes, halting the car. He turned to look at me and reached for my hand. “Adessa, look at me!”My eyes were watering, and I knew my tears would fall if I turned to him. I didn’t want to cry anymore. “Adessa, look at me.” He repeated, softer this time. But as much as

    ADESSA.My mind was flying the whole time I was on Kael’s back. If he were not with me, I would think I was hallucinating, that all of this danger around me has resulted in my head going crazy.But I knew everything was real. I felt it in my hands. I saw it with my eyes. And I heard Kael confirm it. I healed him, but I had no idea how it was possible. Kael opened the car’s passenger door and let me in before throwing his duffel bag at the back seat. We stopped to pick it up when we passed by the area where I left it, and he was able to change into his clothes after he shifted back into his human. “I don’t know what I did there,” I told him the moment he started driving.“Have you done it before? Am I aware that you could heal before I lose my memory?” He asked without looking at me, concentrating on navigating around bushes and trees. “No. I have never done it before. This is the first time.”“So I was the first one you healed.” He said, and a smile cracked on his face, which made
