Kayla's POV

For the first time since I took that drink I felt sober, the earlier rush now occupied by butterflies, my only regret was how short the kiss was.

My heart hadn’t stopped racing since that kiss. It was all I could think about, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t help being restless, glancing at the door every few minutes or jumping at every sound hoping the King would come back, but he never did.

Instead, it was Azel who appeared the next morning, carrying a tray of breakfast. Her usual smile seemed a bit too cheerful, and I couldn’t help but feel a pang of disappointment as she set the tray down on the small table by the window.

“Good morning, Lady Kayla,” she said, her tone light and pleasant. “Did you sleep well?”

I didn’t bother answering the question. The answer was obvious. “Where is he?” I asked instead.

Azel paused, her hands stilling over the tray as she carefully arranged the plates. “The King, I'm certain? He had some matters to attend to, I'm guessing th

    Kayla's POV“Kayla, are you okay?” The King asked, I nodded, turning around quickly trying to hide how I really felt. He reached out to me, but I stepped away retreating to my room. I knew I shouldn't let the words get to me, but it was hard to push away, I was the laughing stock in other packs- a whore who lured the King. Wow!Reaching my room, I paused for a moment before pushing the door open, I shut the door behind me and leaned against it, taking a deep breath to steady myself.That'll be the last time I had tea with anyone. I couldn't even understand the concept from the little Azel had told me when she was styling my hair. it was mostly drinking from a small cup, eating small snacks and gossiping.There was nothing thrilling about it so I would prefer to stay in my room, I kicked the shoes off my feet realizing I didn't stumble once, I was getting used to the heels.Taking off my dress, I changed into a shirt and sweat pants then folded myself like a sandwich between my bed

    Kayla's POVWith a heavy heart, I stood up, my hands trembling as I pushed the chair back. I didn’t understand what had happened. Why would he invite me and then not show up?I knew it was too good to be true. Yet, as I walked back to my room, anger bubbled up inside me. I didn’t ask for any of this. I didn’t ask for the gifts or the invitation to a dinner that never happened. Why would he, out of the “blue” invite me for dinner? I rubbed my temples, feeling a migraine coming on.He had set a date and then not showed up? He didn’t even have the decency to send a guard with a message. It felt like a cruel joke.I stormed out of the dinner room, the more I thought about it, the angrier I became. I had been perfectly fine sitting in my room, keeping to myself, but now, thanks to him, I was a mess of emotions.As I turned a corner, I saw him and I froze… There he was my knight in shining armor walking down the hall like nothing had happened.He looked at me, his posture relaxed, hands cla

    Kayla's POVI stared at him, unable to wrap my head around it, someone was playing a sick game and it wasn't funny. “You’re lying,” I accused, the words slipping out before I could stop them. “You have to be.”The King’s eyes narrowed, his face scrunching up in annoyance. “Kayla, I have no reason to lie to you. Why will I send a teddy bear?The man beside him laughed abruptly but then pretended he was coughing, failing miserably to hide his amusement.“Maybe you're the one lying” The King returned, making me blink back in astonishment.“Yes, I can barely walk around these walls, yet somehow, I found the time and money to buy a giant teddy bear and have your staff prepare a dinner so I can accuse you because I have nothing else to do” I uttered sarcastically my hands gesticulating wildly before dropping by my sides.“Show me this teddy bear and letter you’re talking about.” the king said, a ghost of a smile on his lips,I couldn't tell if he was toying with me or he seriously had no cl

    Kayla's POVThe night did go terrible after all. Nice going Kayla, you could have just kept quiet. But I couldn't help but wonder, why was the topic so sensitive? Who was she, and why did just the mention of her make him so furious?I pushed the plate away, my appetite gone. I left the dining room and made my way to my bedroom. As I entered my room, I let out a sigh, then I changed out of the dress I’d worn for the dinner.Slipping into bed, I hoped sleep would bring some peace. Sleep didn’t come easily, but eventually, I drifted off, the questions still swirling in my mind.The next morning, sunlight filtered through the curtains, waking me gently. I sat up, rubbing my eyes as I tried to shake off the remnants of the night’s uneasy thoughts. There was a knock at the door, and Azel stepped in, carrying a tray with breakfast.“Good morning,” she said, placing the tray on the small table by the window.“Morning,” I replied, my voice still groggy from sleep.Azel began arranging the dish

I huffed frustrated tossing some papers off my desks, I could swear my head would have exploded if I thought about her any longer, which wasn't doing me any good as I stared at the workload piling at my desk. No one had such a hold on me, I had kept my feelings at bay since… hmph! I sighed, running a frustrated hand through my ruffled hair. How did she manage to break through my defenses? Right from when I set my eyes on her, she had made my dead heart beat again. Was it good or bad? I had no idea. It had been one rollercoaster ride to another since she came by which goes to show how boring my life had become. I felt guilty leaving her alone last night, storming out in a fit of anger that now seemed foolish. I knew I shouldn’t have done it. It wasn’t her fault, after all. My hand hovered over the pen, but I couldn’t bring myself to focus. She must think I was a monster, leaving her like that without so much as a word. With an

    Kayla's POVMy heart plummeted in my chest so hard it felt like it would rip out my chest. I had never seen him so mad, his eyes… the heat of his aura literally caused goosebumps to flare on my skin.Knock knock!“Ah!” I screamed jerking up from my bed I was sitting on, the sound came again, I gulped hard thinking it was the King but then a feminine voice came through, it was Azel.I sighed out in relief, palming my temples to clean the sweat that had formed there.“Come in” I called out.Azel stepped in carrying a tray with lunch.The door creaked open, and Azel stepped in, balancing a tray with my meal. I returned to the edge of my bed, my fingers tapping against the sheets.“Lunch is ready, my lady. You should eat something.” she added, noticing I was distant.I glanced at the tray but shook my head. “I can’t, Azel. I’m not hungry.”Azel frowned. “You need your strength,your baby.”I stood up, pacing the room. “Azel, do you know where Kain is?” I blurted before I could stop the wor

There was no backing out now. I needed to hear what he had to say, no matter how much I hated it.Kain leaned against the wall, crossing his arms, eyes dancing with amusement. “I know all about your little situation back at home. Your stepfamily, how they treated you like dirt. How you were practically a slave in your own house.”My throat tightened, my eyes widened in shock, how did he know?“No need to act surprised, I did a background check on you, Kayla,” he continued casually, like we were discussing the weather. “Found out some interesting things. Not a life you would want to ret

    Kayla's POV“Where did you go Kayla? And what the hell are you wearing?!” The King yelled in frustration.I blinked, my heart racing. The maid’s outfit I had borrowed from Azel suddenly felt too tight. “I— I just wanted to help. You know, do something useful…” My voice wavered, but I forced myself to keep talking, trying to sound casual, like this wasn’t a big deal.He narrowed his eyes, stepping closer, towering over me. “Help?” His tone was laced with disbelief. “Is this your idea of helping, Kayla? Dressing up as a maid and sneaking around the palace after I’ve told you, I warned you, time and time again, to stay out of trouble?”“I wasn’t sneaking around!” I shot back, but it sounded weak, even to me. I clenched my fists at my sides, trying to stay calm. “I just… I was curious to know how it was to be a maid.”“Curious?” His voice rose, the frustration clear now. “Ignoring me? Going against my rules, you think this is a game?”I opened my mouth to argue, to say something —anythin

    Kayla’s POVThe tears started falling before I even realized it.

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.

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 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

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

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
