Kayla’s POV

“Why would he do that?” I wondered, my voice barely above a whisper.

“You tell me Kayla, why would a man who ‘hates’ you willingly put his life on the line to save you?” Those were the last words from the lady before she walked away.

My heart pounded against my ribs, the anxiety eating at me. Now more than ever I had to save him.

Before I knew it I found myself in the pack's hospital. I approached the doctor’s office and knocked gently.

“Come in” I heard from inside before reaching for the door knob and stepping in. The doctor glanced up from her paperwork, leaning back in her chair. She didn’t look surprised to see me, though her expression was unreadable especially since she wore glasses.

“I’m really sorry for coming here on such short notice but I really need your help,” I began. “The nurse who conducted the DNA tests I need to find her.”

The doctor’s lips pressed into a thin line as she shook her head. “I’m sorry. That’s not something I can help with. The nurse in ques

    Kayla's POV "Go Kayla, go and be with Kain. He is the man you chose. Keep the baby safe" the King whispered, stepping away till the Shadows swallowed him. "I'll find another way I promise" I vowed, the King stayed silent and after a while it was clear he wouldn't respond. Weakly, I left the dungeons placing a second DNA test as my plan B. Klaus couldn't give up so easily, especially since he was behind bars to keep me safe, I would have enough faith for both of us if he wasn't ready to fight. I would no matter what. I followed the stairway back to the buzzing activity of the pack house thinking about other options when his scent caught my nostrils. "Kayla," Kain’s voice rang out. “Where have you been?" I turned, making sure to keep my hand casually at my side hiding the syringe. For a moment seeing him- his resemblance to the King made me mad. The King should be the one out here walking around freely not him. “Kayla?” Kain spoke again as I remained silent. I shook my head

    Kayla's POV“This… isn't funny… don't do this please” Not sure if anyone could hear me. I pressed my back against the door, my vision was tainted and I could barely see a thing.I couldn't tell where the fire started, but there was a strong smell of petrol that filled the air, and my throat began to tighten almost instantly. Whoever did this… it wasn’t an accident. Someone had set this room on fire purposefully.Did Kain do this? Was that why he mentioned the room knowing I would walk into his trap?Why go through all this trouble so he could burn me alongside his brother's first mate's memory?I couldn't think straight. Luckily, the room was large but it would only be a matter of time before the fire would reach me.Fear crawled through my veins forcing me toward the door, slamming my fists against the hard surface.“Help! Please, someone!” My voice cracked, coughing frantically, the stench clawing at my lungs swallowed by the roar of the growing flames. The air was thickening with s

    Kayla's POV“Kayla…”I turned quickly, breathless, my head snapped to the side, my eyes scanning the room simultaneously but all I could see was darkness.I couldn't feel my body, my legs, my arms, I couldn't even speak.“Help…”The voice came again. This time, it was so soft, almost fragile, like a breeze that touched the edges of my mind. I squinted, trying to see something, anything. But nothing moved except that sound, like it was coming from everywhere and nowhere all at once.Then, in the darkness, I saw her. A woman, her hair dark like shadows, wild and desperate. Her face was etched with sorrow, her lips trembling as she pleaded for something. "Please, my baby... save my child." Her voice shattered in the stillness, full of agony. I felt it ripple through me, her grief, her fear.I reached out toward her, but the darkness swallowed her whole, her cries fading into nothing.And then it was gone. All of it.I shot up, gasping, my skin damp with sweat. My body felt heavy, like I

    Kayla’s POVThe dagger slipped from my hands falling with a thud. I stepped away from it quickly, feeling the locket in my hand. I had to get rid of it.I dashed out of the room, heading to mine, my fingers trembling slightly as I slid the locket into a drawer. It felt like it burned against my skin. I pressed my palms against my temples, squeezing my eyes shut. I had to convince myself that maybe, just maybe, I wasn’t losing my mind.I took a deep breath. "It’s just the fire," I muttered under my breath. "It triggered something. I almost died, and now my mind is playing tricks on me."But the memory of that woman, her haunting voice, lingered like smoke in the corners of my mind. No matter how hard I tried to push it away, she was there, waiting. Pleading.A sudden knock startled me, breaking my thoughts. My heart lurched, but I forced myself to act natural. I opened the door to see a maid standing there, her head bowed slightly."The King sent me," she spoke softly, keeping her gaze

    Kayla's POVThe room seemed frozen in time, every face was locked in a state of disbelief as Kain’s announcement hung in the air.“I will be a better leader than the one who betrayed you all. I promise to grow our pack stronger than ever before.”“And now,” Kain continued, a small smile tugging at the corners of his lips, “enjoy the party. Celebrate the future.”His tone was casual, like he didn't just declare the death of his twin brother. I watched as he turned, his cloak swirling behind him as he made his way out of the hall. Without thinking, I followed him, my heart pounding in my chest. My footsteps were quick, but quiet, slipping through the crowd unnoticed until I was right behind him in the corridor.“Kain,” I called, my voice sharper than I intended. He stopped, not turning immediately, but I saw the tension in his shoulders.“I need to speak with you,” I insisted, moving to face him. His eyes met mine, unreadable, and I swallowed hard, forcing myself to stay calm.“Killing

    Kayla's POVI had never seen a corpse before, especially one that reeked badly and was rotting with age, I couldn't bear staying in the room. My legs moved on their own accord before they buckled in the middle of the living room.I gasped, my knees colliding with the tile and a sickening crack rippled through the room, my body shaking uncontrollably. “No... no...” My voice cracked, barely audible between sobs.Raymond didn't follow and I was grateful. I let myself break down alone for a lady I didn't know.Eventually, his boots echoed down the hall. He stepped out, cradling a small, worn box in his hands. His expression was dark, almost unreadable, but his jaw clenched as he stopped in front of me."She didn’t die peacefully," Raymond murmured, eyes flicking down to the box. “Whoever did this made sure it wasn’t quick. Suffocation. Likely with a pillow."I wiped at my face, though my hands trembled, smearing tears across my cheeks. My body felt heavy, weighed down by guilt and sorrow.

    Kayla's POV“You didn't pose the same claim when Kain handed in the first DNA reports”“Watch your tone Kayla!” The elder snapped back. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. It was infuriating how he could easily dismiss my claim, but they could let the same papers determine if the King would live or die.“There was a mix-up in the blood samples,” I insisted, my voice steady despite the tightness in my chest. “I swear, the first DNA reports aren’t accurate.”The council members exchanged glances, their whispers like the hiss of leaves in the wind. It felt like the entire room was holding its breath, waiting for someone to make the first move.“And you can prove that how?” The same elder spoke first.“The nurse Clara who had conducted the test. she is dead. She was killed to cover the tracks of the person who had deceived the entire pack”“That is a bold claim you're making Kayla. Especially one without any evidence. Your DNA reports prove nothing. If that will be all, we bid you fare

    KLAUS' POV“Argh!” I screamed in pain and my body throbbed with the impact. The guard didn't stop using me as a dummy. My hands were chained while he attacked me like an animal.This had been my life since Kain locked me up. His way of trying to teach me a lesson, to show me what he endured when he was taken.I understood the message, but I wouldn’t break. I wouldn't let myself turn into the mad person he was.The man in front of me didn’t hold back. His knuckles cracked against my ribs, his breath labored from exertion. The room smelled of sweat and blood, my blood. It dripped from my busted lip, metallic and bitter as I swallowed down the taste of it.Footsteps echoed down the hall. They were slow, deliberate, sending the man back a step, worry flashing in his eyes. He didn’t hit me again. Instead, he lowered his fist, glancing toward the entrance with a nervous twitch in his jaw.A council member appeared, his robe sweeping the floor as he entered. His gaze swept the room, settling

    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

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
