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
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
Kylie“Are you sure you don’t want to return home before midnight?” Lucas exhaled before his fist was thrown at my face.I lifted my right arm and blocked his punch with my palm. As soon as I got a grasp of his bulge and hefty fist, I shoved it away and extended my other arm to hit him.“My birthday was nothing special. I’d rather stay here to train.”Beads of sweat rolled down my forehead, but I was too preoccupied to even wipe them. Fighting for me was a piece of cake but it was kind of harder with Lucas because he was our late Alpha’s son.The motivation to be good enough as their Beta was the only thing that kept me going.“I’d like to say you were looking forward to being the Pack’s Beta rather than meeting your mate,” Lucas laughed.That’s a truth I won’t deny.His balled-up fist landed on the left side of my jaw, which caused my face to wince with a slight hint of pain. I was ready to hit him back when both his hands were abruptly raised into the air as an indication of surrende
KylieThe slight ache in my chest grew bigger as I watched them walk past me as if I were just a ghost. No one had warned me that seeing my mate being intimate with another woman would hurt me this badly. The feeling was so new to me that I failed to snap back.Being left standing in shock, Victor, the Pack’s Gamma, brought me back to reality.“Let’s go, Kylie. You’ll be the Pack’s Beta anyway.” He pulled my wrist until reaching the dining room where all of the Pack officials were seated.Too many thoughts lingered in my mind that I couldn’t even pay attention to the meeting. My eyes were locked on Logan trying to find any answers. However, he was not even giving me a look.“I want the marriage to take place as soon as possible,” his stone-cold voice echoes through my mind, pushing me to listen attentively.My heart pounded so loudly that it vibrated against my quivering flesh.“Can’t wait to be my Alpha, huh?” one of the Luna twins playfully chuckled.I felt like a ton of arrows were
KylieI sobbed into his shoulders like a bullied child, which I never did when I was a kid. I let no one see me cry because I believe that’s a signal of weakness and surrender.“I’m sorry,” he whispered in between my sobs before I felt his face sniffing my hair.Within a second, he lifted me into thin air while I kept my face buried in his shoulder. The next thing I knew, he was gently putting me down on his bed.“What was happening? Why are you getting married to another woman? You didn’t tell me any of this, Logan. Why—” I was caught off guard as his lips made their way to mine, claiming every corner of it.“Hush.” He was smiling from ear to ear.“Stop that,” I murmured, averting my eyes from his.His laughs feel like a sweet melody through my ears. I wish we’d just stayed like this for tonight, but I knew I had to confront him about what was happening.“I hate the way you held her a while ago,” I began.Logan seemed to notice despair in my voice as he held my chin, forcing me to lo
KylieLogan was sitting on his bed with a woman, who I am certain is Hanna, on top of him as they kissed passionately.“N-no… No!” my whimpers turned into anger, yelling at both of them.Hanna was startled by my sudden outburst, but before she could say a thing, I leaped towards her, grabbing her hair as I pulled her out of Logan’s lap.She shrieked in pain and tried to fight back, making us both fall down. My back hit the floor, causing me pain, but I was too preoccupied with anger to even bother my pain.“Let me go! Damn it!”If it weren’t for Logan, I could have removed every strand of her hair from her scalp. Logan held her wrist, lifting her while I was left on the ground, hurt alongside my weeping wolf.Going to see him hopeful that he'd ease all of my worries only to catch him red-handed with the woman he promised me not to worry about.“Who the hell is this bitch, Logan?!”I forced myself to stand up and was ready to hit her again when Logan pulled her, hiding her behind him.
KylieBut I wish I could believe my Mom's eyes, because why would Logan say something like that while my mother was on her knees apologizing for my stupid actions? I just knew he wouldn't choose to lie in the middle of a chaotic situation, but I am as well as lost in my thoughts.I was kept in one of the cells inside the dungeon at the Packhouse underground for so long that I had no idea what time it was. Curled up in the corner, my heart jumped in excitement upon hearing footsteps approaching.Given all Logan has done towards me, I’m still here getting excited about the idea of him visiting me inside a cell he locked me in.I crawled towards the door that was locked and waited until the footsteps halted.It felt like my entire world had crashed into seeing Lucas in front of me. “Lucas?” I called, disappointment audible in my tone.He forced a smile before crouching down to level my face.“Why are you here? Where’s Logan?”His eyes squinted. “Are you being serious right now? After wha
KylieMy wobbly knees gave up and the tears I was holding back the whole time fell down like a waterfall. My heart sank deeper into the abyss watching Logan take steps away from me, knowing so well that this would be the last time I was going to get a glimpse of him. The bitterness of our goodbye lingered on until the next thing I knew, I was dragged inside a black van before it drove away to the Packhouse.Reaching the end of our Pack’s border, one of the men opened the door. I didn’t wait for them to push me out, and I got out by myself.The second I walked out of the van, I thought they would immediately fly away to abandon me in the middle of the dark nowhere. But one of them pulled out a black duffle bag, handing it over to me.“Alpha Lucas asked us to give you this.”As soon as I accepted it, the van quickly moved away. Being left in the dark alone, the cold breeze blew, and yet all I could do was shed a tear in resentment.I opened the bag from Lucas, I couldn’t thank him anym

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
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
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
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
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
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
