Kylie“No offense, Kylie.”I could feel my jaw tightening so hard because of the anger I was trying to hold back. Forcing my lips to stretch into a fake smile, I nodded.“I’m not offended,” I could even hear the sarcasm audible in my own voice, but I continued, “Because it’s not my problem whether you don’t like me at all. And for your own sanity, rest assured that I’m not here to bring any trouble to your Pack.”“You should be certain about that because if Jacob might hesitate to kill you, I won’t,” Larry added, as if saying those words; threatening someone’s life was so casual to him.He left, leaving me in question of my own intentions.I knew I had ended up here simply because I was in the middle of a life-and-death situation. If only those rogues didn’t find me as their new prey, I wouldn’t be here in any possible way.What’s wrong with me that Larry couldn’t even stand me near his son? It was like he perceived me as some parasite hosting Jacob.“Uhm, hey.” Bianca, who was standi
KylieIt was almost dusk when we got back to the packhouse from the supermarket. Since I had nothing to do to keep myself busy, I offered to help along with the other Pack members with cooking dinner. It would also be a good start to be friends with them. And after finding out my plans, Bianca didn't hesitate to join me as well.Most of them warmly welcomed me, and I was having a good time chatting with them when our topic somewhat drifted to Jacob’s girlfriend, Dianna.“Oh, that woman was a bitch. Believe me, Kylie, you won’t ever find someone here that loves that woman,” Lydia, one of the Omegas, chuckled as she diced onions and garlic.“If you do, that person was for sure bluffing.” another laughs. “Or maybe out of respect to Alpha Jacob.”“I think Dianna only has a week or two before Alpha Jacob replaces her,” Bianca added, grinning from ear to ear, making everyone in the kitchen end up in laughter aside from me. “What’s that supposed to mean?” I asked out of curiosity about bei
Kylie“W-why? What is it?” I couldn’t hide my concern and fear about how Jacob was acting after Bianca left.The nothingness in his usual curious and soft eyes was driving me nuts. Jacob is not like this. It feels like I did something terrible.“I thought you said you were feeling alright.”“I-I am okay. I just fainted, maybe because I am tired, but I am okay, Jacob, really.”“Well,” he cleared his throat once again before turning his back on me. “I had the Pack doctor checked up on you,” I overheard him blowing out a deep sigh, walking back and forth.“And?”“Turns out you're pregnant, Kylie.”My jaw dropped processing the information.No, no. There was no other thing I was having at the very moment aside from fear. I can’t be pregnant…I was certain I heard what Jacob said, but my mind was trying to believe otherwise. Beads of sweat began to form on my forehead and in my hands with the uneasiness I was feeling.“Is that what you’ve been dying to tell me? You wanted to tell me you k
Kylie“Jacob had mentioned that you came here bleeding and being chased by rogues with the intention of sexually harassing you.” Larry continued, the concern audible in his stiff voice catching me off guard.“Y-yes. T-that’s right,” I stuttered, moving my eyes away from his.“That’s the reason why you’re pregnant,” he announced without any hint of hesitation.The same guilt and frustration I'd felt having this conversation with Jacob was once again present. Having everyone believing me when I was lying was the worst feeling I could have.Hiding my shaking hand below the table, I took a deep breath and tried to force myself to calm down. It looks like I would never get used to talking about this. Knowing damn well, I was lying to them.My eyes were pinned onto my trembling hands until I heard Larry’s utensils creating a loud sharp noise as he placed them down.“It’s alright, Kylie—”The heaviness of my pounding chest was getting too much and, without letting Larry finish his words, I h
KylieIt was already late at night when Jacob and I made it to the packhouse. And even though I was fully aware that Larry wanted to see me to apologize, I still couldn’t help but to feel the doubt along with nervousness.Perhaps because I do not have the capacity to easily believe Larry will even think of regretting his harsh attitude towards me.Opening the car door for me, Jacob offered his hand to help me hop out of his car.“I’m sure he’s on the training grounds, training a few warriors,” Jacob began, leading the way. “He’s a very strict mentor,” he continued, chuckling. I followed his every trace, playing with my fingers, hoping it would ease my pounding chest.We made it to the training grounds and as soon as we entered, the heavy atmosphere filled with painful screams and groans welcomed us.Jacob was right, his father was having hand-to-hand combat with two other men. While some of them were seated on the bench, looking extremely exhausted.“How come you are still a fucking w
KylieMoving my gaze away from the man's lifeless body, my heart began to pound loudly and fast. My mind was blank and all I could think of was how Larry did it so effortlessly, as if he was doing it on a daily basis.I had yet to move on from the first death when Larry grabbed a sword that was hanging at my side. He played with the blade with his fingers for a few moments, giving the other guy a scornful look. Thinking he would stab it into one of the two men left, I almost threw up when he used it to behead one of them instead.Blood splattered everywhere and it even reached across my face. I watched his head roll along the rough floor before Larry jeered, blocking it from moving further with his feet.With one wipe of my forehead, I was scared to death seeing hints of blood on my hands.Even how badly I wanted to just leave, my glued feet wouldn’t allow me to do so. My breathing instantly became rapid as I unconsciously placed both my hands on my abdomen with the thinking that it w
KylieGuilt and regret might consume me, hence it won’t change the fact that those three men were already dead. For me, it’s not about accepting what has happened, but accepting that it was my mistake.Both Larry and Jacob had no idea that I was lying about that the whole time. But they were ready to kill and have blood on their hands for me.Isn’t that enough to at least let them know whom they are defending?“So you don’t trust me this whole time?” Jacob chuckled.Moreover, letting Jacob into my life won’t be a bad idea. After all, I knew almost everything about him, and he didn’t even know any piece of truth about me.“I joined your Pack without knowing anyone here. You have all the means to kill me; helpless and no one would even look for me. Don’t you think I trusted you enough to put my life at that risk?” I asked him back with a faint smile on my lips. “I would like to say that you joined my Pack because you were about to be dead that night.” The smile I had, formed wider be
KylieThe next day, I woke up with my stomach rumbling with hunger. I decided to go downstairs to cook myself breakfast. I shouldn’t skip any meals, given that I have another life to feed inside me.The first thing I did was brew myself a cup of coffee before toasting two pieces from one loaf of bread. I was just waiting for it to finish when a knock outside my door surprised me.I wasn’t expecting any visitors today, so if it was not Bianca, then it was probably Jacob, but I highly doubt that. So, to clear my thoughts out, while holding my cup of coffee, I opened the door, but I was more than surprised to see it was Jacob!“I thought you were going to be busy the whole day, right? Because your father will be leaving today?” I questioned, my eyes squinting in confusion.He even reasoned through his text messages that he was not going to be able to see me for the whole day today as he had a lot of tasks and responsibilities on his hands right now.“Yes, that’s right,” Jacob shortly sai
KylieHaving no idea how long it lasted, I knew I wouldn’t pull it off if only Jacob didn’t.“Woah,” he mumbled, our foreheads and noses still touching as we both took our breath. Jacob was about to add something else when I quickly pulled myself away from him.I pursed my lips together before stepping away to put Freya back in her crib. Holding the edge of it, I gripped it tightly for support.The fact that I knew I wouldn’t pull off from his lips, I am already screwed. This shouldn’t be happening at all! None of this was right.Rubbing my cold palms against my face, the need to shout all my unsaid words sank in. I failed to hold myself back.“What’s wrong?” Jacob sounded so hesitant, touching my shoulder. Moving away from his touch with the fear I might end up losing control again, I mumbled, “Th-this was a mistake. I’m sorry, Jacob.”I crossed my arms across my chest as I made sure not to face him. I don't have the courage to do so.“What’s the mistake? Our ki–”“Everything!” I sh
KylieJacob has been with me throughout my entire pregnancy. From my weekly check-ups, he always ensures to make time to be with me. And everything that I needed was provided.I knew I was in a big debt and had no idea how to repay him. Jacob was nothing but a help, and I will always be grateful.Hearing her cry again brought my thoughts back to reality. I hastily stood up as if on cue, peeking through her white crib.“Bianca! She’s crying again!” I yelp for Bianca’s help.Her wailing grew louder, making me even more alarmed. I crouched down to get her out of the crib.“What do I do?”Bianca showed up in the trance of the room, panting from probably rushing upstairs.“Uh, maybe she’s hungry?”“But we just fed her.” I shrugged.“Or maybe it’s the diaper!” she exclaimed, as if she was certain it was what caused Freya to wail.Bianca confidently walked to my place. We were both inexperienced at caring for infants like Freya, but she didn’t hesitate to lend me a hand.She gently tilts Fre
LoganLucas already had his eyes on me before I even looked at him.I couldn’t seem to feel proud that Kylie managed to make Finn look like that. Instead, I was concerned that what Mila suspected was happening.The Lycan Pack is no good for her.Hoping Finn was wrong, I decided to hire a professional investigator this time. I wouldn’t be complacent until I made sure.But staring into a photo he had given me, I almost crumpled it, betrayal filling me. However, I let no hint of remorse show up on my face. Keeping my keen eyes on the image, I gulped, feeling the wrenching crashing on my chest.She’s indeed in the Lycan Pack; hence, that's not what tore me.Her dazzling smile with every picture she had with this fucking Jacob Williams felt like a dagger stabbed into my throbbing heart. She looks genuinely happy, not even comparable to how she looked at me after knowing we were mates on her eighteenth birthday.It seemed that she had forgotten about me that fast.“Uh, Alpha. I don’t know i
LoganKylie, being the Lycan King’s daughter, isn’t something that I can easily believe just because it came from her adoptive mother, Mila. Without any tangible proof, all of her words would remain nothing but a lie to me.“How come? How sure are you about that? And what makes you think we will immediately believe you after saying these things just now?”“Shut up, Logan,” Lucas warned through our mind link. “Have some sympathy towards Mila. She’s longing for her daughter.” His eyes were fixed, glaring at me.Ignoring those, as if I heard nothing, I kept my attention on Mila, who was still crying.“How can we be sure you’re not saying this just so we can find Kylie and bring her back here for your own benefit?” I continued to interrogate her.Desperate people will require desperate decisions and actions just to have whatever they think they need. And I myself was one of them. I was so desperate to save our pack that I decided to banish my mate.“I have no other motive to lie about thi
