Chapter 6

"What is it with you?" I asked Saf because I could feel her getting more and more jumpy in my head.

"Nothing, I just wonder how is this conversation gonna go down."Uhh I so do not need this right now.

"I mean you did drugged your future Alpha, not to mention our soulmate."I don't know how I feel about the fact that Saf already accepted Atlas's wolf as her soulmate, it can't be. Not while I don't feel the same for Atlas. She maybe hasn't said it out loud but I can feel it, the closer we are to him the more excited she gets.

"I would appreciate it if you could calm down so that I at least have my thoughts in order." I say as the car pulls over. When I got out of the car Jeffery was waiting for me once again.

"Miss Knight, we were awaiting you. Please follow me."Jeffrey said as he proceeded to walk in front of me. He led me into their office once again where I saw our Luna Victoria standing by the window. As I stepped in Jeffrey closed the door behind me.

"Miss Knight, I have to say I didn't think I would see you again so soon." She said as she turned from the window and walked closer to the desk.

"Neither did I, Luna Victoria. I assume it was you who told him where to find me." I say as I too walk closer, to the middle of the room.

"You must think me giving my word as a Luna should have some weight, after all, I am the main she-wolf of this pack." She says as she takes a sit behind her desk.

"But I am also a mother, and for my children, I would do far more than simply reveal their soulmate's address."She focused her eyes on me.

"With all due respect, he is not my soulmate," I say while Saf growls in my head. Luna simply smiled.

"Atlas mentioned you don't feel the bond, but I don't think my son is mistaken. He has the blood of an Alpha, they imprint only with their soulmate."

"Well maybe he is mistaken, maybe the mistletoe got to his head." I say as I stand still.

"He informed me of that as well, I hope you keep that information to yourself. Besides the only reason you were able to distract him was because he was overwhelmed by your bond."She was obviously worried about her son's reputation.

"I'd say I'm just good at my job."I say as the door behind me opens. Saf was jumping inside my head so hard my whole body jerked back. As I turned around I met Atlas's eyes, he looked at me as if to make sure I was real.

"Mother would you please excuse us for a moment, I'd like to speak to my soulmate alone." He said as he walked in. He looked good definitely received from the mistletoe, he was dressed in all black. His shirt opened in a v-neck exposing his necklace.

"Like I said, you are not my soulmate." I said frustrated while moving my hands through my hair.

"Until we get that situation sorted we will keep this information a secret, you Kaya will stay here in the pack house and you Atlas will prepare for your ceremony in peace." 

She didn't just say it, she commanded it.

"I'm not staying here." I say quickly.

"And where do you plan on going, from what I heard you left your home."How much could she possibly know?

"Mother let me handle this." Atlas spoke up.

"I don't have enough time to leave this in your hands, you need her here to be able to focus so she will stay here, we will deal with the rest later."

Atlas walked behind the desk next to his mother.

"You managed to bring me home so I don't doubt your capabilities mother, but the rest is on me. Please leave us."

She turned to me once again.

"You will stay here, you will not leave the grounds. If you disobey me I'll make sure no one buys anything your parents have to sell. They'll go back to being the lowest of Omegas, do I make myself clear."

"Mother!" Atlas raised his voice, but the Luna didn't care.

"Your father set the date, in one month exactly you will become Alpha. Until then you will keep your troubled bond a secret. The last thing we need is the council breathing down our necks."

Sometimes I wonder why we even have an Alpha is he has to run everything by the council.

Luna left the room leaving Atlas and me alone. He just stared at me for a few minutes, I imagined he was talking with his wolf. I noticed Saf wasn't by my side instead she tried to get closer to Atlas.

"Come here." I accidentally said out loud which made Atlas think I was talking to him. He can't know Saf can leave my side.

"I thought you wanted to keep your distance." Atlas said as he began to walk closer. "Unless our kiss left you wanting more."

"Can we please have a normal conversation? Sit down." I say as I take a sit myself.

"Of course. I am willing to let go of the fact you lured me, drugged me, took me back here unconscious. But the fact you left after I told you we were soulmates, that I can't forgive.” He genuinely looked hurt, something Saf didn't like, I imagine his wolf didn't either.

"Atlas first of all, I only did what I was hired to do." Which was true. "Second, I can't speak for you but as far as I'm concerned we are not soulmates. I don't feel the bond you claim we have." Great, not only did he look at me all hurt but Saf growled at me as she went to sit as close to him as she could.

"I am confident in what I feel, and so is Sky." He said as his eyes glowed.

"Sky is your wolf?" I asked as Saf lifted her head.

"Yes, and yours is?" Atlas returned the question.

"Safire, but I call her Saf." He kept looking at me as if he was trying to memorize every feature of my face.

"Safire." He said out loud and she jumped at his feet making my body jump up as well. Atlas called out her name and she came to him.

"I can reach him, Kaya, he is telling the truth. He is our soulmate." It can't be, but the further she moves away my body inches closer to Atlas.

"What is happening?" Atlas asked as he got up.

"You called for my wolf and she came to you." I say unsure of how was that even possible.

"Saf come back!" I ordered her but she didn't listen. She was sniffing for Sky, as Atlas looked like he was stumbling around.

"Sky." I say and Atlas falls to the floor as his wolf materializes from nothing in front of my eyes and comes to my feet.

"What just happened?" Atlas asked as he got up and walked in front of me, Saf by his feet.

"Why is Sky by your feet? How is he by your feet?" He asked and then looked down.

"Kaya, why is your wolf by my side?" Now we were both in shock.

"You can see her?" I asked, but if I could see Sky he could see Saf.

"Yes, you can see Sky?" We switched wolves.

"Yes, I can see him, now tell Saf to come back." I tell Atlas who is still confused.

"Saf, go back." He orderd and she obeyed. Now I had two wolves by my side, rubbing their heads in each other. Soulmate, our wolves were soulmates. But what about us?

"Sky come back." Atlas called for him but he didn't listen. If Atlas can command Saf, maybe I can do the same with Sky.

"Sky go back to Atlas." I ordered and he obeyed.

"What does this mean?" I was still in shock.

"It means you have to stay here, so we can figure it out." Atlas said as he came closer to me.

Stay here, in the pack house. When I have so much to investigate, I need to find out where I came from and I can't do that if I am stuck here. But then again, it's not like I have a place to stay.

"I do not want to be trapped here, and I don't want people to think of me as their future Luna." Why do I feel bad all of a sudden?

"Would it really be so terrible to become my Luna?" He said as he closed the distance between us.

I don't have words to answer that question, especially not with Atlas so close to me. 

"Kaya." He said my name as he lifted my chin to meet my eyes.

His hands crossed my cheeks while his nose played with mine until our lips finally met. At first the kiss was gentle, and tender but it grew more passionate by the second as his hand came around my waist while I dragged my through his hair.

Our moment was suddenly interrupted when Jeffrey opened the door.

"My apologies young master, our Luna sent me to escort Miss Kaya to her room." Jeffrey said as I stepped back from Atlas trying to cache my breath.

"Way to ruin a moment Jeff." Saf bickered.

"It's all right Jeffrey, I hope you assigned her a room close to mine." Atlas told Jeffrey as he touched my lower back. I have to put some distance between us and clear my thoughts about everything that just happened.

    "Jeffrey, lead the way." The room they gave me was similar to the one I saw Atlas had. Big, spaces, but the decor was more oriented towards a woman. I put in the closet the little clothes I had in my backpack and after that, I had nothing but time on my hands."Let's go explore the mansion, we have nothing better to do." I tell Saf as I see her waiting by the door."Don't tell me you are waiting for him." I say as I walk over to her."No, I'm trying to figure out who are those two outside the door." Saf said as she allowed me to open the door.Sure enough, as I opened the door I was greeted by two men who seemed to be guarding my room."Can I help you?" I ask."Miss Kaya, our Luna instructed us to be at your service" What they meant was she instructed them to follow me around in case I try to leave."Fine, then one of you go and fetch me something to eat. I'm starving." I say as I close the door in annoyance."Saf, we need to find a way to get out of here.""Good luck with that, this

    "If only he knew you have nowhere to go." Saf mocked me as she sat by my side. "Oh shut up." I say out loud and Atlas looks at me surprised. "Not you, I was talking to Saf." Which made me question can he only see her or can he now also hear what we were talking about. "You can't hear what she is saying, can you?" I ask. "No, I can see her but I don't hear anything. I hope you can't hear Sky." I was able to see him but so far I haven't heard him speak to me. "It's because I speak to you in your head, I have a voice inside you." Saf explains. "Well, that is good, at least I don't have to worry about that." I mind link her back. "You didn't answer me, if I tell them to leave you alone will you stay or are you going to escape?" Atlas asks again. And truth be told where would I go right now, I can't go home. I want answers but first I need time to get all of my thoughts in order before facing the people I called family my whole life. The whole situation with Jake is weird, he is s

    "Dont you think you are forgetting something?" Saf asks as I frantically pack up my backpack. My friend is missing and I have to go find her because if I don't who will? Her mother is in another country and even if she makes a missing persons report how fast will the police jump onto a case of a missing Mexican girl who despite paying taxes is still not a rightful American citizen?"What could I be missing, there is not much to take," I tell Saf as I point to the now empty shelves. "You need to talk to Atlas. You promised you would tell him if you had intentions of leaving." I know she is right, but there is a big chance he will not let me go and I can't risk getting stopped. Thalia needs me."Saf, this is Thalia we are talking about. I need to find her. I can't risk him not letting me go." The real question now is how am I going to get out of this place when there is a guard on every possible corner of this house? If nothing else, they do take security seriously."You promised." Saf

    "What do you mean you are coming with me?" I ask Atlas, staring at him in surprise. He can't come with me, he just can't. "I think it's pretty self-explanatory. I am going to help you find your friend." Oh, he is not joking, he is actually thinking about going with me."Atlas you can't leave now. You just got back and you have a ceremony to prepare. Your mother wouldn't be happy...""I don't care about what my mother wants. Besides, with you gone I won't be able to concentrate on anything that isn't you." Uhh, I really don't want to have this discussion now. Time is of the essence when it comes to finding people and right now I'm wasting it."I appreciate that you want to help me, Atlas. I really do, but I need to get going now and you can't leave without notice again. This means you would have a discussion with the Luna and I don't have time for that." I say as I get up but Atlas grabs my hand and pulls me back."Either I come with you, or you are not going anywhere." He says dead se

    "You do realize this isn't a fun road trip? I need to find my friend." I say to Atlas as his friend settles comfortably in the back seat. "Dont look at me, I didn't invite him to come." Atlas defended himself as he turned to the backseat again. "But he can't exactly order me to stay, I'm still his friend, not his Beta, not yet at least." Shaun said as he looked at me and extended his hand towards me. "I'm Shaun, and you must be the future Luna." Has Atlas been talking about me? Wait, I don't care. I don't need to know that. "Kaya, my name is Kaya." I don't even touch the subject of "the future Luna" because I don't want to be stuck in a car for hours having that conversation with Atlas. "Can we get going now?" I ask as I look at them and then turn on the engine. "So, who are we looking for?" Shaun asks as I drive out of the parking lot and head towards the gate. "I am looking for a friend of mine who went missing in the city. Atlan and now you are simply tagging along." B

    "Oh my Goddess, I thought he would never stop talking." Saf said as Shaun stopped rambling in the back seat. First, he didn't want to stop asking about the soulmate bond, and when he finally stopped he went back to the topic of why are we after a mere human. "I know, if he didn't shut up I would have stopped and gagged him. " I tell Saf then look over at Atlas. He had his head resting against the car window, his eyes closed but I knew he wasn't asleep. I could hear his breathing, sense his heartbeat. I couldn't help myself and I hit the window button on my door to lower it on his side making him jump up and I laugh. "Sorry, wrong button." I say as I procide to lower mine. "You know if you stayed at the mansion you would be able to get some sleep in a more comfortable position." "No I wouldn't, with you gone I wouldn't be able to close my eyes for a second." Atlas says as his hand twitches and I notice him looking at my hand. He wants to touch me, but I dont know if I want to be tou

    "Why does your friend have three bats and why do all of them have a sock on?" Shaun asked as he roamed the apartment while Atlas stood behind me as I opened up her laptop. "Maybe because she is a young woman living alone in a big city." I say as I take out my trusty flash drive and connect it to her laptop. "What are you doing?" Atlas asked as he watched green windows appear over the screen. "I'm taking down her defenses and searching her history. I'm looking for anything that might give me a clue about where she might be." But so far nothing has popped out. Come on Thalia, where the hell are you? "Did you do the same to my computer when you were trying to find me? Did you see everything on there?" Atlas seemed just a bit worried about something I might off have found. Finding him was easy but now he has me wondering what could have I missed. "Everything." I say to mess with him before returning to the laptop. "Maybe there is something on her work computer, after all she spent

    "What do you need us to do." Atlas says without hesitation, maybe bringing him with me wasn't such a bad idea."I'm gonna jump onto the roof to get a better view of the inside, I need to find a way to muffle the sound. Distract them somehow." I take a few steps back in order to get a jump start as I make my way up to the top while Atlas and Shaun use their werewolf powers to knock a big branch that fell next to the van as I hit the rooftop."I told you he would come in handy." Saf says as I look over the age to see the two men inspecting the van. "You"l have time to say I told you so later, now we need to find Thalia." I walk over to a roof window and kneel down to get a better view. This was no ordinary warehouse, this was an illegal dog-fighting club. That is what they are doing with the dogs they take from the animal clinic and that is probably how Thalia got into this mess. She probably discovered what that man was doing, being the animal lover she is she probably tried to stop h

    "I dont know what to do. I lost control over everything in my life." I say to Thaila and she gives me a side look. "At least you are still you. I can't say the same." But am I still me? Lately, I think I dont even know myself. I feel lost, even more so now that Cole is back. This is not how I imagined our reunion at all. And then there is Atlas, even if I dont feel the same thing he feels for me that doesn't mean I want to hurt him. "I think we talked enough about me," I say as I push the plate away and rest my hand on the table. "There is something important I need to discuss with you." Thaila sets her plate aside and sits straight up in her chair. "You dragged it out enough, Kaya. Just go straight to the point." Actually, I was looking forward to dragging it out but I guess here it goes. "The full moon is about to happen and you are going to shift, quite painfully but dont worry you are going to make it. We are sure of it." I would have tried and put it out a bit more gently but

    "This will be interesting," Saf says as it seems she is amused with the situation while I stare at Cole's surprised eyes. "Your soulmate?" Cole asks as he takes a step back. I dont know how to interpret his shock, maybe... maybe he cares... about me. "Yes, and soon your future Luna." This can't be happening, not now. Not now that he is finally back. "Congratulations on finding your soulmate, I hoped that by coming back to the pack territory I would have found mine as well." Cole looked at me, it seemed like his eyes wanted to tell me so many things. "The pack's territory is big and now that you are back you'll have nothing but time to find her," Atlas says, his behavior toward Cole is cold and he insists on keeping my hand in his. "Yes, well... We'll see what happens. If you excuse me, Luna is waiting for me." Cole slightly bows his head but his eyes find mine as he raises his eyebrows before heading into the living room. I take my hand out of Atlas's hold and he looks at me long

    "Who is Cole?" Thalia asks. I must have said his name out loud. Cole is here, I can't believe he is actually here. It's been years since I last saw him but there was no doubt it was him. I would recognize that man anywhere. "Cole... Cole is an old friend of mine." This is technically not a lie, we were always just friends. His father worked at the hospital where Jake and I used to volunteer. That's where I met him, and there is where I fell in love with him. We would spend entire days together, and he would make me laugh all the time. Cole is now twenty-five and since he was twenty-one he got the order to go into the human world and take over the position of the CEO of one of the Alpha's most profitable companies. It was a high honor that he couldn't possibly turn down. The day he had to leave the pack was the day he gave me this necklace, he made me promise I would never take it off and I haven't. I promised it to him but I swore it to myself. I was nineteen then, it seemed reasonab

    After I recovered from the little moment between Atlas and me I was on my way back to the room when I saw Thaila in the hallway studying the paintings on the walls. "Hey, did you find anything interesting?" I ask. "Yeah, why do you guys have so many paintings of the little red riding hood?" Thaila asks as she points to the wall. "That is not Little Red Riding Hood. It's the Moon Goddess." Thalia shakes her head in disagreement. "My mother told me the story about a million times, that is exactly how she appeared in the pictures." The story isn't entirely how it was written down, but then again what story is? The best proof of that is the many different versions written by people with different perspectives. It heavily depends on the narrator."Not everything is what it appears to be. The little red as you call it was once a human and her cloak was white. The story that we know is that she was a woman who couldn't have children, and for that, she was unmarried and later outcasted

    "A blessed wolf?" I have never heard of that, but then again the latest events have proven to me that I need to brush up on my history. "You know how when a werewolf is born it doesn't have a wolf, it takes years after to gain it. It's because it becomes attached to the person's soul and becomes an extension of one's being. In the case of your friend, her soul is now the extended part of the wolf within." Samuel tries to clarify but all of this is so new that it takes me a minute to wrap my head around it. "So she will be okay? She will be able to turn and live her life like the rest of the werewolves?" I ask and the conflicted look on Samuels's face tells me that the story doesn't quite end there. "If... If she manages to get her gift under control, maybe." Gift? Why do I feel like it's gonna be one of those gifts that dont come with the receipt and you can't even exchange it for something better? "What kind of a gift are we talking about?" Atlas asks as he leans over the table t

    "But she seems ok. You should have seen her today, there is not a scratch on her." I thought the worst had passed, I was confident that everything would be alright. That is what I promised her. "Her body healed, yes. But once the full moon starts and the shift begins her bones are going to break... without a wolf..." Atlas had a hard time saying the words but I knew what he was implying."Without a wolf, all that is going to be left of her is a sack of crushed bones." And everything we did up until now would be worthless, none of us can give her a wolf. To make matters worse, the full moon is tomorrow. "Wolfy, I really wish I could do something about it, but right now the only thing we can do is hope and pray that the Moon Goddess finds her worthy." The Moon Goddess, she already saved her once. Why would she do that if she would want to let her die by the full moon? No, Thaila will be alright, I refuse to believe otherwise."How did you come to that information?" I ask Atlas. Maybe h

    When I left the bathroom the breakfast was already delivered but Thaila was out on the balcony talking to her mother. I could hear her mother's joy all the way to where I was standing, after all, her daughter was safe. I wasn't about to interrupt her, the breakfast can wait and I can use this time to go and find Atlas. When I got out of the room I noticed something strange happening outside the windows, all the royal guards were assembled in front of the mansion. Were they here to make sure I could leave, it wouldn't surprise me that Luna put stronger measures to retain me this time. Or... they were waiting for someone."Are you looking for someone, Wolfy?" Atlas asks as he appears from behind. I dont know how he manages to sneak up on me so many times. I turn around and give him a full look at the outfit, it seems he approves."I see I managed to get the right size." So he did pick it out."And the right cup size," I add just to be funny and it seems he gets it. Atlas is wearing his

    I heard a knock on the door and my initial thought was what do people have against sleep in this house but when I saw it was almost eleven a.m. I figured that my exhaustion got the better of me. The last time I slept in so late I was still in school. Thalia was already sitting in bed as I rubbed my eyes while the sun came through the window. "Who is it?" I ask as I cover my legs with the blanket. "It's Jeffrey. May I come in?" What is it now? Does the Luna need me again? She can't very well yell at me in front of Atlas so maybe she wants to do it in private now. "Yes, Jeffrey. Come in." The door swiftly opens and Jeffrey strolls in with maids carrying shopping bags and boxes and placing them on the couch and the little table on the side. "What is all of this?" I ask. "Master Atlas ordered we get both you and Miss Thaila some new clothes and anything else you might need. If there is anything you might not like just say the word and our staff will exchange it." Atlas told them to g

    "That is not what they looked like before," Thaila says as I turn my gaze to her. I'm not saying she has a reason to lie, and given everything that has happened, she could simply be confused. "What is happening in here?" We all turn to the door where we see our Luna with Jeffrey standing close by. This is the first time she sets her eyes on Thaila, and she doesn't look pleased. "Nothing mother, go back to sleep," Atlas says as he stands in front of me as Thalia comes to stand by my side. "I was trying to do that when my sleep got interrupted by your friend here. And is that a cat in my house?" She asks as she turns to look at Jeffrey who simply looks at the floor. "I allowed it," Atlas spoke while making sure to make it clear that no matter what came my way he was ready to block it. "I see." Luna said as she looked at her son and then at me. Maybe she was regretting her decision to force me to stay here, especially with an unexpected guest. Yet no matter the price, she would do
