Lily's POV

I stormed into my room, slamming the door behind me. How dare she? How dare that little nobody steal MY king? I had worked so hard, planned so carefully, and now it was all ruined because of Kayla.

"That stupid, clumsy girl," I muttered, pacing back and forth. "She must have tricked him somehow. There's no way the king would willingly choose her over me."

I caught sight of myself in the mirror and stopped. My face was flushed with anger, my hair a mess from running my hands through it in frustration. This wouldn't do. I couldn't let that servant girl see how much she'd affected me.

Taking a deep breath, I smoothed my hair and fixed my makeup. I needed to think, to plan. This wasn't over, not by a long shot.

There was a knock at my door. "What?" I snapped.

Josh walked in, looking as angry as I felt. "Can you believe this?" he fumed. "After everything we've done for him, the king chooses that... that murderer to carry his heir? He didn’t even consider how we would feel about

    Kayla's POVThe Lycan King’s words echoed in my head even as the hall fell into a stunned silence. I didn't expect him to own up to my child, especially knowing I was weak and a servant in my own home.My stepfamily stood there, slack-jawed and incredulous. Lily’s eyes were wide with a mix of anger and shock.Her mouth opened and closed as if she wanted to say something, but no words came out. Josh’s face was a mask of disbelief. He looked at me as if I had betrayed him in some unforgivable way.“Your Majesty,” Lily finally managed, her voice trembling slightly, “are you seriously saying you’re the father of Kayla’s child?”“Yes,” the King said coldly, his gaze icy. “And I will take responsibility for the child. Any attempts to remove Kayla from this pack or to treat her poorly will not be tolerated.”Lily’s face turned a deeper shade of red. “But this is outrageous! How can you claim—”The King cut her off with a wave of his hand, his expression hardening. “I am not interested in yo

    Kayla's POVI stood there, stunned, as the Lycan King’s words hit me. “Gather your things. You’re leaving this house,” he said, his tone unyielding.My heart pounded. “Are you sure?” I asked, my voice shaking. “I mean, are you really certain about this?”“Yes, Kayla. I am sure, you look terrible if you continue this way you'll suffer a miscarriage I can't let you suffer this way anymore. You have one day to prepare. If you’re not ready, I will ensure you are.”The finality in his tone left no room for negotiation. A mix of relief and anxiety churned inside me. Relief, because I was finally being rescued from this torment, and anxiety, because I had no idea what awaited me.Josh, on the other hand, was furious. His face was twisted in anger as he stormed out, cursing under his breath. The King watched him leave with an indifferent expression before turning his attention back to me.“Don’t worry about your step family,” the King said, his voice still commanding but a bit softer. “You sh

    Kayla POVI held onto the wall for support as I felt my legs turn to jelly. They weren't even considering what I wanted, they didn't even talk about me like I was a human being, more like a dog or a toy he could use and toss aside anytime he wantedI felt tears welling up, but I fought them back. I turned slowly, retreating from the balcony, forcing one foot in front of the other.The way he spoke made my heart ache more than I expected, it was meant to be a distraction, an escape from the pain I should've been feeling the way I did but I couldn't help it.Unable to walk further I sat on a nearby bench, my hands resting on my swollen belly, trying to calm the turbulent emotions inside me. Was I really willing to go through the pain of childbirth, only for him to take my baby away? The mere thought of it was unbearable.“What are you doing out here!” a familiar voice called out, startling me.I looked up to see Lily standing nearby, her face twisted into a sneer. She peered at me curio

    The Lycan King's POVAn abortion?AN ABORTION!!?I had expected many things, but this was beyond what I had anticipated. The shock of her request hit me like a cold wave, leaving me momentarily speechless.“An abortion?” I repeated out loud, trying to process the gravity of what she was asking. “You want to end my child’s life?”Kayla nodded, she was practically shivering under my gaze. “Yes. I can’t do this. I don’t want to be tied to you or this situation.”My blood boiled at her words. How dare she ask for something so drastic? It felt like an insult, a direct challenge to my position.Did she know how many would kill to be her position? Before I vent my frustration, Lily stepped forward, her face contorted with anger.“How dare you?” she yelled, her voice dripping with disdain.Slap!The sound echoed through the room as she slapped Kayla hard across the face. “You ungrateful wretch! How dare you insult the King like this?”Kayla stumbled back, her hand flying to her cheek, her eye

    Kayla's POVMy heart plummeted as The King’s cold, hard gaze burned through me… he looked at me like I was some kind of monster before storming away with Lily attached at his side.What did I just say? I wasn't thinking I… I only wanted to protect myself. It was the only way I could protect my heart, the only way I could keep from falling apart.He didn't understand, he couldn’t understand. I didn’t want to carry this child only to have it taken away from me the moment it was born. I didn’t want to suffer through the pain of bringing life into the world just to be left with nothing but emptiness. It wasn’t that I hated the baby; I just couldn’t bear the thought of losing it after it was born.I held a chair for support, feeling my legs turn to jelly, the tears I had kept at bay suddenly broke through its walls.“Kayla.”I jumped at the sound of my name, my breath catching in my throat. I turned to see Josh standing a few feet away, a smirk playing on his lips. He looked amused, his ey

    The Lycan King's POVI couldn't stand another minute in that bar so I left then made my way back to the castle ignoring Lily's attempts to make me stay.As soon as I entered the grand hall, Raymond, my second in command, was there to greet me, his sharp hazel eyes scanning me, taking in my disheveled appearance.“You look wasted,” he said, a hint of concern in his voice.I rolled my eyes, waving off his concern. “I barely drank,” I replied, my voice harsher than intended. “I just needed to get out of there.”Raymond didn’t press further, knowing better than to push me when I was in a foul mood. Instead, he reached into his jacket and pulled out a letter. “Your brother dropped this off earlier,” he said, handing it to me. “I thought you’d want to see it right away.”I snatched the letter from his hand, a knot forming in my stomach as I recognized the seal. I broke the seal and unfolded the letter, my eyes scanning the mocking words scrawled across the page.“Brother, by the time you re

    Kayla's POV“UGH” I groaned as I woke up with a pounding headache, the kind that made it hard to open my eyes.The light was too bright, my head too heavy, and everything around me felt off. Blinking a few times, I tried to clear the fog from my mind. The sterile smell hit me first, and then the unfamiliar white walls and beeping machines around me made it clear I was in a hospital.Panic gripped me as I pushed myself up, but the world spun, forcing me to lay back down. My heart raced. What had happened? How did I end up here?“Welcome” a voice called out, I looked in the direction of Lily, sitting by the window, her arms crossed and a cruel smile playing on her lips. Her presence sent a chill down my spine. Something about the way she looked at me like she was savoring some twisted victory made my skin crawl.“Relax, Kayla,” Lily said, her voice dripping with fake sweetness that barely masked the malice underneath. “You don’t want to make yourself worse.”“What happened?” I managed

    The Lycan king’s POVLast time I had felt this rush of adrenaline was during the war.I didn't normally drive but today, with everything clawing at my insides, I couldn’t trust anyone else to get me there fast enough. I grabbed a random key fob, taking the stairs two at a time till I made it out to the twelve car parking garage. I didn't choose a car, I just pressed the key fob, the black BMW beeped and I got in. With the keys, I brought the engine to life.My hands tightened around the steering wheel, my knuckles white as I sped through the streets. I was driving past the speed limit and thankfully traffic wasn't heavy.I didn’t bother to park properly when I got to the parking lot of the hospital, barely registering the screech of tires as I came to a stop. I was out of the car before the engine had fully died, my heart pounding, each beat echoing with a single word: Kayla.The hospital smelled like antiseptic and anxiety. I ran down the corridor. My breath was ragged.“Your majest

    Kayla’s POVThe tears started falling before I even realized it. My chest tightened, each sob coming out as a painful gasp for air.“She left me there, she abandoned me” I croaked out, my heart feeling heavy.“She did it to protect you,” Silver whispered in my mind, her voice gentle, like a comforting breeze against my skin.I wanted to believe that. I had to. But the ache in my chest was unbearable. For so long, I’d believed my parents were dead, that I’d been spared from some type of accident but that wasn't the case.She had left me at their doorstep, she took my wolf and left me vulnerable,But at what cost?A sob escaped me, the kind that leaves your throat sore. I could taste the salt of my tears on my lips, and feel them slip down my cheeks and onto my skin. My hands shook as I wiped at my face, but the tears wouldn’t stop. My chest heaved, desperate to catch a breath, but each inhale only brought more memories.“Why didn’t she tell me?” I whispered, my voice barely audible ove

    Kayla's POV“Kayla you're acting like a child.” Klaus calIed out behind me stopping me in my tracks.I never thought I could feel so much anger that I couldn’t breathe, I looked around, hoping this was a dream seeing Raymond changing out of his clothes. He looked like he didn't want any smoke and letting us deal with the issue ourselves.“You're unbelievable, Klaus” I snarled, crossing my arms.“I'm just saying you're acting a bit irrational here”Irrational?Irrational??It took a lot not to cross the room and punch him so hard he swallowed his words.“I'm sorry I find it a bit hurtful the only reason you're alive is because I risked my fucking life for you and you don't give a damn, rather you're accusing me!”“We're talking about a baby Kayla, the kid is innocent in all of this” Klaus retorted like I was bothering him.“Yes but I'm not, right? I'm the one who forged DNA reports. You are beyond reasoning with and I have better things to do” I turned around to leave but I stopped tur

I thought a bath would help but I still felt as shitty as before.A knock on the bathroom door pulled me out of my thoughts. Azel stepped inside with a tray of food, her eyes twinkling with something and I could immediately tell she had some new gossip to spill.“Anything interesting today?” I asked, though I already knew where this conversation would lead.“Oh, just the usual palace chatter,” Azel said, setting the tray down on the side table. “You have been through so much, we need you well and rested.” Azel tried to shift the conversation.“No Azel it's fine. whatever you have to say I can take it” I said, sinking deeper into the tub so only my head was on the surface, my hair spreading through the water like tentacles.Azel walked up to the bath, splashing water, unable to meet my gaze before speaking.“It's Lily”I stiffened, my fingers gripping the edge of the tub, guess

Being reappointed as Alpha after Kain made his division and managed to get people on his side wasn't an easy journey and now there was another baby on the way.It was one I didn't expect but one I couldn't turn my back on. I knew Kayla was right and sooner or later I would find a reason why trusting Lily was a bad idea but I was hurting Kayla in the process.Hopefully, this was all a game Lily was trying to play but funny enough if it came to that, I won't get mad but rather I’d be relieved.“Your majesty, good morning” Lily wore a long velvet red gown that stopped below her ankles, she looked beautiful truly, Lily was a sight to behold.“You called for me Alpha” she continued since I remained quiet I blinked back to the present, my eyes narrowing as I wondered what just happened.“Yes… I ehm we're going to the hospital” I voiced trying to keep my voice steady.The corners of her lips curved into a smile like I asked h

    Kayla's POV“What nonsense is this Lily?” Klaus blurted out in astonishment while I stood frozen like a statue.I was at a loss of words or maybe I was unable to speak because my breath caught in my throat, it felt like my ribs had caged in, squeezing every bit of air out.“I have proof” she continued the torment and brought out a piece of paper from her bag waving it like a flag. Instinctively my hand reached out trembling as I took it from her."This can't be possible," Klaus muttered, his voice low, almost pleading, but it sounded weak. It didn’t even hold the edge I was expecting. He sounded like he didn’t believe it himself.I glanced down, my eyes skimming the bold letters that confirmed it. My heart clenched. I knew they had been together, I had seen it with my own eyes, felt the deep, cutting pain of the mate bond. I could endure all that again. But this? A baby?The floor seemed to tilt beneath me, and I had to steady myself, gripping the paper so tightly that it crinkled und

    Kayla's POVI glared at Raymond, who just rolled his eyes for a moment. I didn't know what to say and I didn't have to as Klaus spoke up.“It's late Kayla, go to bed”“Please,” I whispered, my voice trembling. “I just need to—”“No.” he didn't even let me finish taking my arm and leading me out of the gym. “I'll sleep in your room tonight. I had a long day and my bed is cold”The corners of my lips twitched but I forced down the smile, I was happy he would sleep in tonight but I just wished he would let me learn.Once we got to the room, he helped me change into my nightgown and slid next to me wearing only shorts, his arm wrapped around me, his fingers tracing slow circles on my skin.You’ve been through enough.”“I just—” My throat tightened. “My mother... She told me things. About my wolf, about the people after me.” I turned my head, eyes searching his face in the dim light.His hand stilled for a moment before continuing its path over my arm. “If they come for you, they’ll regre

    Kayla's POV“Please send me back! I still have a lot to ask please”The seer shook her head. “I'm sorry Kayla but I can't, defying the laws of nature always comes with a price. We are not meant to communicate with the dead. You managed to twice, a third time is way too risky.” She stood up, stepping away from my hold and I sighed in defeat as I rubbed at the faint glow still lingering from the rune on my hand.“You can still use whatever she said to help you, what can you recall?”I took a deep breath, the memory of my mother’s voice still echoing in my ears. “She spoke to me about my wolf... about how it's powerful. She said people would come for me because of it.”The Seer’s brows furrowed slightly, her fingers tracing the edges of her table as if deep in thought. “There are a few wolves, very few, whose auras can be stolen. If you carry that power, then it’s no wonder the rogues are after you. They would want it for themselves.”“So, that’s what this is about? They want to take my

    Kayla's POV“Yes, my gift from the pack guards to you so I won’t turn the pack upside down searching for the number of my kid, when she’s just cooking or doing whatever it is you do” he teased and I couldn’t help but smile.“Kids” I corrected, taking the phone out of the box. I looked up and noticed he was nervous. “Kids?” He echoed.“We’re not just having one child” I whispered, pausing for dramatic effect. “We’re having twins.” For a brief second, Klaus was completely still. His breath caught as the realization dawned on him. His eyes widened, shock flickering across his face before a smile slowly spread on his lips.“Twins?” His voice held an unfamiliar excitement, like he couldn’t quite believe it. “Yes, twins! Two lives growing inside me” I replied, trying to sound happy despite my heavy heart. He stepped closer, cupped my face in his hands, his thumb gently brushing my cheek. “You’re carrying two?” He let out a surprised laugh. “We’re having twins!” “There’s more.” His ha

    Kayla's POV “Don't say that Kayla, I should have recognized one of them, I am the reason they came for you," he muttered, almost to himself, his hand curling into a fist by his side. "If I hadn’t—" "You can’t keep doing this," I interrupted, stepping forward. "This isn’t all on you." “It is. I wronged them, and now they want revenge. You’re in the middle because of me." “It wasn’t just about you, they knew things about when I left the pack... about my mother." His brow furrowed, confusion briefly replacing the guilt. I raised my sleeve, revealing the mark on my arm showing him the rune. "One of them recognized this. They mentioned her like they knew she marked me Klaus. This goes deeper than just revenge against you." He stopped pacing, his eyes dropping to the mark on my skin. “Your mother did this?" His voice was low, almost a growl, but I nodded. "She did. It’s complicated, the men didn't hurt me, not physically. They made this chant… I can't explain it but it's not you, Kl
