The Lycan King's POV

An 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 POVHere lies the body of Kayla, she lived a life of tragedy and was killed by the only good thing that had happened in her life since her parent's death… that would be the summary but no one even knew this so my case would be closed without any remarks, and that was if they could find my body…I gulped hard, visibly shaking. My hands trembled as I tried to push myself up in the bed, my heart pounding so hard it hurt. The room felt like it was closing in on me, the walls pressing in from all sides.If looks could kill I would be six feet under from staring at the cruel malevolence in his eyes. I wanted to explain, to tell him everything, but the words wouldn’t come. I was too scared, I couldn't find my tongue."You went ahead and disobeyed me," he growled, his tone so cold and hard that it made me flinch. "You terminated the child and lied to me this whole time. Do you have any idea what you've done?"My mouth opened, but no sound came out. My heart sank lower with every word

    Kayla's POVLike a predator to a prey, my eyes stayed glued on Lily as the nurse took samples for the DNA test.She looked unfazed her eyes fixed on her phone, typing away as if she had no care in the world. My heart raced with every tap of her fingers, wondering if she was up to something, planning something.The Lycan King stood across from me, his expression unreadable, but I could feel the weight of his gaze. It burned through me, making it impossible to relax. Almost impossible to breathe.“There we go,” the nurse said softly as she finished drawing my blood, placing a small bandage over the puncture. “All done.”I nodded, offering her a tight, forced smile. My eyes drifted back to Lily, who was still engrossed in her phone. What was she doing?The nurse moved over to the Lycan King next, prepping his arm for the same procedure. He didn’t flinch as the needle went in, his gaze steady on me the entire time. I felt a shiver run down my spine under his scrutiny, but I held his gaze,

    Kayla's POVI didn't even have a chance to object as the King led me to a car, then he took the seat beside me and I shifted uncomfortably throughout the ride.When the car finally pulled up to the mansion, my breath caught in my throat. It was enormous— no, more than that. It was like a palace, with towering walls and grand arches that loomed over me, making me feel even smaller than I already did.The King stepped out of the car first, and I followed, my legs feeling weak beneath me. I could hardly believe this was where he lived. I had heard stories, of course, but nothing could have prepared me for seeing it in person.He didn’t say a word as he led me up the grand steps to the entrance. The doors were already open, and we walked through them into a vast foyer that was even more breathtaking. Marble floors, chandeliers that sparkled like stars, and walls lined with artwork that must have been worth more than I could ever imagine. I felt dizzy, overwhelmed by the opulence that surr

    Kayla's POVFrom rainbows and cotton clouds to thunderstorms and tornadoes. For a moment I had believed I escaped her… that I could find some peace, even if it was only for a little while. But the devil still chased me, even here, in the Lycan king’s home.Lily took a few steps forward, the click of her heels echoing through the room like a countdown to something terrible. “Enjoying yourself, Kayla?” she sneered, her voice dripping with venom. “Don’t get too comfortable. Once the DNA results come back in two weeks, you’ll be out of here. And I’ll take my rightful place.”I clenched my fists, trying to steady my breath, but fear twisted in my gut. What if she found a way to sabotage the test results? What if she convinced the king that the baby wasn’t his? The thought of it made my stomach churn.“I’m not scared, Lily,” I said, my voice trembling slightly despite my best efforts to stay calm. “The baby is the king’s. Nothing you do can change that.”Her eyes flashed with anger, and fo

    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.

    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
