Kayla's POV

My 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

    Kayla's POVFirst mate?“Yes my brother had a first mate” I didn't realize I had said that first part out loud till Kain responded.“I know everything that transpired, plus one secret that might change your views on what type of person he is, a secret that might save your life all for a deal” he whispered fanning the flames of my curiosity.“What kind of deal?” I asked, my voice quieter than I intended. 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 POV “Here's the plan. I'll get you out of your room and you make your way into the King's room, get the file, and step out, easy peasy” Kain explained like he was talking about the weather and not some bizarre escape mission to steal from THE LYCAN KING! “Why will the guards let me in the room?” I questioned nervously. He smirked, like the answer was obvious. “Because you’re the Luna. Or, at least, everyone thinks you are. Nobody’s going to question you going into his room. They’ll assume you’re there on his command” “What if something goes wrong?” I urged, twisting my fingers on my laps, my anxiety growing. “You don't worry about that Kayla” Kain said, stepping closer, lowering his voice as if someone might be listening. “It’s very simple, you'll be fine. It’s either you do this or remain locked here” No… I was sick of sitting here waiting for the King despite the nerves I felt, it would be better to take this chance than sit here regretting it. “I'll do it” I muttered

    Kayla's POV“Listen to me… the reports are fake, they are not true, Lily did something, I'm sure of it” I pleaded desperately, watching as the King's eyes darkened, his jaw tightened then a sharp snap echoed through the room, a sound that sent a chill down my spine.I stepped back watching the King winced in pain, his eyes flared with anger, a wild glint taking over.“Leave here now, Kayla!” he growled, I understood his reaction. It was one I had experienced once myself, he was losing control, he was about to turn.“I would do as he says if I were you” Lily spoke up, the fear in her eyes matched mine. At least his anger wasn't directed towards her, I was terrified! His aura filled the room as he began growling, his tone inhumane, falling on all fours.I had to leave… no I had to run before he tore me apart in shreds without thinking, I rushed around him bolting from the room. My feet moved faster than my thoughts, carrying me through the hallways as the tears stung at my eyes. I didn’

    Kayla's POVQuietly the King turned around, walking out as abruptly as he came, my eyes trailing after him watching in disbelief.I turned to Azel flabbergasted, without thinking, I threw my arms around her in a hug, the joy bursting out of me before I could stop it. “I’m staying, Azel! I’m not leaving!” the words tumbled out in a rush, almost breathless.Azel froze for a moment, and I could feel her hesitation. Slowly, she hugged me back, but it was brief, almost hesitant. She stepped away quickly, her hands smoothing her apron. “I’m glad you’re staying, Lady Kayla,” she said.I grabbed her arm before she could slip away fully. “Azel, don’t do that. You don’t have to act like I'm your boss, not anymore.” I pulled her back into a hug, tighter this time, holding her close. “You’ve been more than just a maid to me. You’re my friend.”Her body softened against mine, and I felt her shoulders shake slightly, as if she had been holding her breath for days. She finally let herself relax, hug

    KLAUS' POV “Alpha, we await your orders” one of the guards voiced as they closed in on Kayla, about to arrest her. “You have to believe me, you know I would not do something like this” Kayla begged, her eyes yearning for me to believe her. I couldn’t answer her, not yet. Not when I didn’t know the truth. I clenched my fists, my jaw tightening. Nothing made sense anymore. The emerald— how did it end up in her room? She couldn’t have done it… or could she? I raised my hand, stopping the guards from dragging her away for just a moment. My eyes locked on hers, searching for something, an answer, a sign, anything. But all I saw was fear and hurt, and it twisted something inside of me. “Keep her room in the room,” I finally ordered, my voice harsher than I intended. “She’s pregnant. For the sake of her baby, lock her in here.” The moment the words left my mouth, I regretted them, but I couldn’t take them back. I turned on my heel then walked away despite her protests. My heart pounded

    KLAUS' POVI didn’t think I could move that fast.Cradling Kayla in my arms, I pushed through the doors of the hospital, barking orders. The nurses jumped into action, but all I could hear was the pounding in my ears. Kayla’s face, pale and cold, was all I could see.“Get the doctor!” I growled, laying her gently on the bed. Her chest rose and fell, but just barely.As they swarmed around her, I stood frozen at the foot of the bed, helpless. Even in battle I had never felt this type of fear.The doctor finally walked in, she went straight to work, checking her vitals, muttering instructions to the nurses. I paced the room, my fists clenched. Each second that passed made the knot in my chest tighten.“She’s been poisoned.”The words cut through me like a blade. I turned, my eyes locking on the doctor. “Poisoned?”She nodded, her expression grim. “It’s in her system. We caught it in time, but it’s not going to be easy we'll have to flush it out of her system”I stared at her, trying to

    Kayla's POVAt the Lycan King’s words, I watched as Lily's face twisted from disbelief to resentment.I couldn't tell if I was dreaming or if I was in an alternate universe when the King turned his back on her.Lily did as he said, walking away without a word I could only imagine the havoc the King's command could have caused as the doctor also followed behind, I'm guessing she wanted to give us some privacy.I did feel better as Lily left the room. My memories returned in fragments.“Azel…” I muttered.“Is she the one that poisoned you? Don't worry she's been locked up.” the King assured.That jolted me. “What?” My voice came out sharper than I intended, my heart kicking against my chest. “Locked up for what reason?”“She confessed to the theft,” he replied coolly, not even a flinch in his tone. “And attempted murder. She tried to kill you.”“No,” I shot back, sitting up despite the pull of pain in my muscles. “She told me she would help me, she was lying. Azel is my friend, she woul

    Author's POVIt felt like his head was under water and he could barely breathe. It was a bit ironic that he could solve a lot of problems in the pack but was clueless on how to help her. The look of disappointment when he stepped in alone would forever haunt him."Do you want anything?" he offered, instead of giving in to her request. He crouched slightly, trying to catch her gaze.Kayla didn’t move, her eyes fixed on the ceiling. Her expression was distant, as if the weight of the world rested on her shoulders alone."Kayla." His tone softened, almost pleading. "Talk to me. Anything. Yell if you need to, but don’t sit there like this. It’s... unsettling."Her lips twitched, but not into a smile. "I’m tired, Raymond," she murmured, her voice barely audible. "I just want to go home."His jaw clenched as he straightened, frustration bubbling beneath his calm exterior. “I get that, but you’re still here for a reason. The doctor hasn’t cleared you yet.”But that wasn’t the reason he didn’

    Kayla's POVI had no more tears left to cry.“You are nothing special”His words kept echoing in my ears like a haunting melody I couldn’t shake off. What really hurt was that a part of me knew—fuck, I knew he wasn’t wrong.I was nothing special. I was just a girl who happened to be lucky enough to fall into the arms of the King and fall pregnant. it was as simple as that.“No Kayla, it’s not” Silver interjected sharply. I jumped a little, still not used to a second voice in my head.“You have done so much for him, he doesn’t get to treat you this way” she continued and a small part of me agreed to it yet that was just our side of the story.If only I hadn’t be stupid enough to believe I was more… if only I stopped myself from falling so hard for him.An unrequited love was just a lover’s hell and I was burning here with the devil herself.When I reached my room, the door felt heavier than usual as I pushed it open, my body trembling. The moment it clicked shut behind me, the sobs I’d

    Klaus' POVIt felt like I was losing my mind.What was wrong with me?I tried to recall the way her eyes used to light up, the warmth that would surge through me whenever she entered a room. Now staring at her, all I felt was... nothing. No spark, no pull. Just a cold emptiness where there should have been fire. I clenched my fists, feeling my nails dig into my palms. Why had things turned so sour between us?The memory of her and Ethan crawled back just before she stepped in, uninvited. My teeth ground together, jaw aching from the pressure.We’ve been through this. Logically,I knew I shouldn't even be thinking about it but despite how hard I tried to push the thoughts away they kept coming back!I was questioning who she really was, if the babies she carried were mine and it was driving me insane.I squeezed my eyes shut, running a hand through my hair. These thoughts were dumb, I tried to convince myself. But that nagging voice wouldn’t quit. It taunted me, reminding me of the fake

    KAYLA’s POVBeep. Beep.My phone buzzed with a notification.A frustrated sigh escaped my lips as my eyes shifted from the ceiling I’d been staring at, trying to shake off the remnants of the conversation with Klaus. The training grounds were basically empty and without Raymond I couldn’t concentrate, speaking of the devil his name popped up as I stared at my screen.Opening it, a laugh slipped past my lips before I could stop it—a ridiculous gif of him stared back at me with one eyebrow raised, lips twisted into something resembling a wink.Raymond joking was the last thing I expected but I welcomed the distraction.I typed back, what’s with that face? You should smile more.Barely a minute passed before I heard a knock.It was definitely not Klaus because he wouldn’t knock.“Come in!” I yelled out hoping it was Azel, who was basically the only person I could think of that would help my miserable state.But it wasn’t her instead a surprise stepped in grinning like the emoji he sent.

    Kayla's POV“I've never liked that bitch” Silver muttered within me and I couldn't help but smile.“I see why you're my wolf” I replied when suddenly I paused- my hand instinctively moved to my belly as a sharp pang hit me.I stopped in the hallway, the world spinning for a second. A salty taste crept into my mouth, like I had bitten into something bitter. My throat tightened, and I swallowed hard, trying to calm the rapid thud of my heart. Something wasn’t right.I felt nauseous.Breathe, Kayla. Just breathe.But the discomfort only worsened as I forced myself forward. I barely reached my room when a stabbing pain shot through me, enough to make me gasp. Panic surged. I leaned against the doorframe, trying to steady myself, sweat dampening my palms.“Help!” My voice came out strained, barely more than a whisper. “Someone please help!”“Luna Kayla” someone yelled rushing to my side, I could barely register the face of who came to my heed but I was grateful.“I... I need help,” I manag

    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

    Kayla’s POVSteam rose from the tub as I sank deeper into the water, letting it wrap around me like a cocoon. 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

    Klaus' POVThose few days in the jail cell didn't seem so bad now. 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
