Kai's P.O.V"You are in love with Axella?" My mother asked and I flinched. FUck, was it too late to take back my confession. this was so fucking awkward and it felt like I was back in highschool discussing my first crush with her.But seeing the warm, nonjudgmental look on her face gave me the push I needed so I slowly nodded. I'd actually come to accept my feelings for Axella so I pretty much had to fucking man up and own up to it.I blurted it out to myself, admitting the truth that I loved Axella, so why not just tell it to my mother and confirm the damn thing.Biting my tongue, I gritted. "Yes Mother, I do,"Her eyes narrowed at me and she continued staring for a long minute before her lips pressed into a tight line. She said stiffly. "Did you have sex with Axel before she left our pack?"My fingers tightened into fists next to me as a war waged in my chest. It was the biggest debate i'd ever went through as I tried to weigh the pros and cons of telling my mother the whole truth o
**Kael's P.O.V**"Do you know who you were about to mark?" my voice cut through the tension, and I glared harder at his stupid face. But his eyes shifted to the woman standing nearby, and a smile tugged at his lips as he looked at her."You mean, her?" Jerome's gaze lingered on Axl, who stood there despite my earlier command for her to leave. She hadn't approached us, but her presence was a blatant act of defiance. My frustration surged, and I tightened my grip on Jerome's arm.Her eyes held worry, and it infuriated me. How dare she care so deeply for him and not me? The anger coursed through me, making my entire body tremble."You're sorely mistaken, Axellal is my betrothed. My love," he declared, the word a love song in the tense silence. My heart hammered against my ribs. Love? If Axella was his love, then what was I?"Silence!" I roared, my nails digging into Jerome's arm."You're hurting him, Kael! Please stop!" A choked gasp tore from behind me. I whipped my head around, disbeli
Axella's P.O.V"Because I love you," he whispered, his voice thick with emotion as he brushed a gentle kiss across my cheek, wiping away a stray tear. Love? Was Kael sick? Had something addled his mind during the fight? Maybe he'd taken a nasty blow to the head and this was some delirious fantasy. What in the world was he going on about?"What was that?" I echoed, my voice barely a rasp. "Did you just say you love me?" The very idea struck me as absurd, a cruel joke the universe was playing on me. The Kael I knew wouldn't dream of uttering such words. He despised me, couldn't stand the sight of me. He was the one who'd rejected me without a second thought, who recoiled from my touch as if I was fire and he was ice. And now, here he was, confessing his love while simultaneously claiming I belonged to him? This was a whole new side of Kael, a confusing and unsettling one."You heard me right, Axella," he said, his voice firm despite the tremor in his jaw. "I am in love with you."A scof
KAEL’S P.O.V"I, Axella, accept your…" Her words hung in the air, unfinished as I let out an embarrassing shriek. What the hell was she doing? She'd just forgiven me, hadn't she? She'd said she'd let go of the past. So why, then, was she going through with this rejection ritual? Panic clawed at my throat, constricting my airways. My mind raced, searching for a solution, but coming up blank. The last time I'd tried physical contact, she'd nearly slapped me. What would happen if I tried it again?Before I could overthink it further, my instincts took over. In one swift movement, I scooped her into my arms, pressing my hand firmly over her mouth. She muffled a startled cry against my palm, her body tensing in protest."Hmmph! Kuueelle…" she mumbled, the sound distorted by my hand. There was a strange, almost endearing quality to it."Axel, I thought we were good?" I blurted out, desperation lacing my voice. "Didn't you say you forgave me?"She struggled against me, her head shaking back
Axl's P.O.V"Kael!" I screamed, my voice raw with terror as his teeth sunk into the vulnerable flesh of my neck. The searing pain that erupted in my system was unlike anything I'd ever felt. He tasted the wound, his tongue sweeping across the bite, and a strange, tingling sensation flowed through my body. It was as if I were weightless, floating on an invisible current."Now, you belong to me," he murmured in my ear, his voice laced with a possessive satisfaction that sent chills down my spine. My eyes flew open, a surge of panic washing over me. No. It couldn't be. This wasn't happening."What have you done?" I shrieked, the primal fear overriding all reason. The words ripped from my throat, laced with a fury that burned hotter than the mark on my skin. My hand lashed out, connecting with a stinging slap against his cheek. The world tilted on its axis, a sense of unreality clouding my thoughts. I flinched as I felt a dull sting on my own cheeks! The mighty Alpha King, the man who'd t
Axella's P.O.V.The words tumbled out before I could stop them, "Let's get married tomorrow!" My voice echoed in the stunned silence of the room. Anything to escape Kael's suffocating grip. Bound to Jerome, surely Kael would finally back off. No self-respecting King would be caught cavorting with another man's wife. I'd explain everything to Jerome later, of course. The sooner Kael understood I was done, the better for everyone.Jerome. My knight in shining armor. He'd been my rock when I felt the world crumbling beneath me. My haven when I was drowning in misery. Without him, I wouldn't be standing here. The depth of my feelings for him remained a mystery, but compared to Kael, my so-called mate who couldn't care less about my heart, Jerome was a beacon of warmth."Are you...sure?" His voice, laced with disbelief and a hesitant joy, cupped my face as his thumbs gently brushed away stray tears. "You won't change your mind?" A flicker of hope danced in his eyes.Yes. He deserved happin
AXLI realized that I had heard The voice in my mind and that Jerome did not speak to me. What was going on with me?Soon I started to feel the pain that made me feel like I was going to die and get better.But then, my body felt bigger than usual. I felt like I was no longer in my own body. It was like I was in someone else's body and I finally got used to it."You don't need to worry too much Axl. This is the process that everyone needs to go through for their transformation. It is almost over" Jerome assured me.I realized that he was too much using this word and that he was speaking to me through his mind. It was as if whenever he wanted to say something to me I could hear it in my head.I wondered what he meant by transformation. I knew that I was a wolf that could not shift and I had accepted it a long time ago. That was the reason I was it for most of my life right?"What are you talking about? What do you mean by transformation?" I badly wanted to know just what was going on.
## Kael's P.O.V."Why should I be happy when I know this wedding isn't going to happen?" My words hung heavy in the air, a challenge aimed not at my sister, but at the absurdity of the entire situation.Jennifer's eyes widened and then she blinked, momentarily stunned by both the venom in my voice and the meaning behind my words. "There won't be a wedding?" she echoed, disbelief coloring her tone."Not a chance," I affirmed, my jaw clenched tight."Brother Kael, what do you mean there won't be a wedding? What are you planning to do?" Her questions were laced with a growing sense of alarm.I offered a noncommittal shrug, the weight of the situation pressing down on me. I needed to act fast, formulate a plan. Turning on my heel, I strode away, ignoring her frantic calls of "Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"I was heading back to my chambers but on the way, I almost stumbled into a small figure. A wave of relief washed over me as I saw Daniel."Hey Dan," I greeted him with a forced smile, hop
AXELLA"And how did you come to this conclusion that it was all a lie? One thing I can see is that your mate really loves you Axl. He took care of you and your kids all these years. He never let you suffer. Because he was guilty, he wanted to keep the truth away from you as much as possible. Are you really just going to throw all of these things away because of a simple mistake? I need you to think about this carefully if it is worth it!" Jenson said."You don't know anything. You are just a wolf. You have no idea how hurt I am!" I yelled at her."Of course, I am your wolf. But you seem to forget that I am a part of you Axl, I am not some separate person. I am you. I see what you see and I feel what you feel. You are just trying to run away because you are scared now. But if you really stop and look into yourself, you know that his love for you is simply not something that you can deny. You have every right to be mad that he kept it away from you for so long. But don't throw away all
KAII sighed as I walked around the palace. Although I had always been rude and mean to Jerome, he was not cruel to me when I arrived in his pack. In fact, he really treated me well.I had to give him points for that. I didn't think that I would have been able to do it. If a man who was in love with my mate arrived in my pack, trying to take her away with me, I would have lost my mind that was for sure. I'd make sure that he never came close to her even if that was the last thing I did.But he placed Elliot and I in a suite and he really treated us well. I was starting to see why Axl had picked him over me. No matter what, she was always his top priority.I wasn't stupid. I knew that if Jerome had his way, he would throw me in the sea and feed me to the sharks. But because Axl's brother was here, he was being polite to me. He considered Axl's feelings above everything else.I was really scared now. Would I be able to win her back at all?The more I thought about it, the more scared I
AXL"After he kicked her out of the pack, my parents came back to their own pack. But this was just the begining of another set of troubles for them. My uncle who had been in the pack with my grandfather thought that he was the one who would become the King after my grandfather. He was already prepared for this. Of course, this was not going to happen as Mt father was the first son. As soon as he came back, my father took back the throne from him""My uncle did not want to accept this. He started a war to take the pack away from my father but he was defeated horribly. He never stood a chance against my father. Despite the fact that he was given a lot of chances to change, he refused to take any of them and he was constantly thinking about how he was going to take the throne for himself. My father had to banish him and his family. I guess, my uncle did not want to feel like he had lost. He wanted to think that he had won and so he became the leader of the rouges" Jerome explained to me
AXLI paced up and down in my bedroom. I was really worried about what was going on. We just dealt with one brother of his and now there was another sister.I wanted to know why Jerome did not tell me all of these things about him. I thought that I knew him well enough but it turned out that I didn't even know a single thing about him. He has really kept it away from me well.I was still pacing when my door was open and Jerome walked in.He had a tired look on his face and I immediately lost all of my will to question him. I didn't want to make things even harder on him."Jerome...." I called out.He sat on my bed and pulled me to sit down with him."I....what is going on? She's your sister? How come I didn't know about this?" I asked."I'm sorry I didn't tell you about her at first. It's just....I don't even have an excuse for keeping it away from you. I just didn't want you to know about the dark past of my family. I wanted to appear perfect in front of you. I didn't know it was all
AXL"What do you mean? Kai....he can't be here. That's just not possible!" I had already rejected him. I made it clear when I was leaving that I didn't want him following me. He had to be completely crazy to follow me here!Jerome looked at me. There was some questioning in his eyes and that made me feel bad all of a sudden. I didn't want him to think that I was going back to him or anything like that.I no longer loved him. I wanted to love Jerome and that was what I did. I chose the man who showed me more than enough kindness. I was going to stick with that."Well, he here's right now and we have no choice but to go see them!" Jerome said.I wanted to hold him back and ask why he was being like to but I thought to myself that he was probably going through a lot already and that I should not make it even more worse for him.I nodded my head and I went out with him.We arrived at the big hall where Kai and my brother were waiting for us.My eyes widened when I saw Elliot. I wanted to
KAI"You want to leave tommorow? I don't think that's such a good idea sir. You are not fully healed. You could get hurt on the Journey there..." The Doctor said.I turned to glare at him when he said this. I didn't think that he had the right to tell me what to do. I had already decided that I was going and nothing was going to stop me."It's fine, Master. Since he wants to leave, I am sure that he knows what he is doing and he knows his body best" Estrella was on my side once again.I looked at her suspiciously. It was already more than enough that she saved all of our lives but why was she going so far to help us?I didn't want to think too much into it but I didn't have a choice at all.I sighed. It was not as if I could say no to her help. I needed it more than anything else.I turned to Elliot. "So we are going to set out tommorow!"He nodded his head in agreement."You should come with me. I have some rooms prepared. It's not much but you can rest there till we need to leave to
KAIWas the moon goddess playing games with me now? How was this even possible? I was mated to Axl before but then I rejected her as my mate. She didn't reject me back so we still had the mate bond between each other.But then somehow she managed to get mated to someone else and then she came back six years later and broke he mate bond with me.Now, I was getting mated to someone else? I really could not understand what was going on. I desperately needed someone to explain to me."Are you listening to me?" She asked me.I looked up to see that she was looking at me with big blue eyes. I felt a big guilty for no reason at all. I also felt the mate bond between her once again. It was getting stronger and stronger. There had to be some mistake somewhere."Yes...." I said even though I knew that I was not listening to her."Good, because I was saying that you were really brave. My name is Estrella by the way. You had no idea how to swim and you could have died in that water. It's all part
"No. ..I am not getting up. I don't know what to do anymore. I am only doing this because it is my last resort. I really want you to know that I am sorry for all that I have done. I know that I was a real monster to your sister. I don't deserve her. Not after the way I treated her. But I love her. I hope you can see how much I love her. I don't care if I have to make up to her using the rest of my life. I am more than happy to do that. So please.... please just help me out here. Give me a chance will you?" I begged.I did not think I was above begging for any second. I wanted her back and I was more than willing to work for it."Your Highness please...""Kai. It's Kai. We are friends Elliot. We don't have to be so polite with each other. I don't want to lose your sister for good. And I don't want to lose you as my friend. I really don't know what I'd do if I didn't have both of you in my life. I am sure I am going to lose my mind if that happened. Please....please just listen to me an
KAI"No. I am begging you. She deserves to be happy. Please just let her be happy with Jerome"The words that Elliot said kept ringing over and over again in my head. What did he mean by that?! He really thought that I would not be able to make his sister happy?"What do you mean? I already apologized for the way I treated her. I knew that I was wrong. I am sorry. All that I want now is a chance to prove that I can really be good for her!" I argued. I really thought that I deserved a second chance at least. Everyone else go to have second chances. Why was that impossible for me?Elliot shook his head. "You still don't get it, Your Highness. Even now, all that you are thinking about is Yourself. You think that you are the only one who matters here. It doesn't matter if she's not in love with you. All that matters is that you're in love with her. Everyone else should suffer just so that you can be happy. That's what you think!" He said accusingly.I shook my head. I did not think that I
