The Lycan King’s Destiny 0057
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
The Lycan King’s Destiny 0058
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.
The Lycan King’s Destiny 0060
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
The Lycan King’s Destiny 0061
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
The Lycan King’s Destiny 0062
Kayla's POVI sighed satisfied as I stretched out my arms, turning in the bed before blinking awake, I hadn't slept so well in days. Every muscle in my body felt relaxed till the unfamiliar scent of lavender and herbs filled my nose.I sat up with a blanket sliding off my legs. I could tell I was no longer in the palace; the walls were different and it looked like a garden had erupted in the middle of the room.“Ohh you're awake” A lady stepped in holding a wooden tray and a bowl nesting in the middle. The smell made my belly rumble but I forced myself to focus on the important things.“Where am I? What happened?”“You’re in my place, I rarely get visitors but mi casa tu casa” she reassured me, her tone soft. “You collapsed after the council meeting. I felt guilty and brought you here so you could recover.”The memories rushed back to my mother, the vision, the burning sensation when the seer used the wand or whatever it was she did. I swallowed hard, trying to piece it all together.
The Lycan King’s Destiny 0063
Kayla's POVIt felt like I had no more tears left to cry. A part of me went numb and the only senses working were the ones pushing my left foot, then right foot forward repeatedly.It felt like a cruel joke as I wandered aimlessly, I had fought for him, defended him when no one else did. And this was how he repaid me?With Lily? That snake!My vision spun, the world around me blurring, as if it didn’t want me to see just how shattered everything had become. I pressed my palm to my chest, as if I could somehow stop the ache, stop the hollow feeling that had taken root deep inside me. But it didn’t stop. It only grew stronger, tightening like a vice around my heart.“I have no one,” I whispered into the air, my voice barely audible, my throat raw from crying. My words were swallowed by the night, unheard by anyone. It was just me now, me and this suffocating loneliness.“I have nowhere” My step family? That was out of the question. I couldn’t go back there, not with Lily’s threats still
The Lycan King’s Destiny 0064
KLAUS' POV“Fuck!” I screamed out, punching into the double doors.“Don't beat yourself up. She deserves everything she's getting” Lily sneered, walking in my direction. She reached out to touch me, but I stepped back quickly."Get dressed and leave," I muttered, the words cutting, like glass in my throat.Lily blinked, her expression changing to one of disbelief. "What? Your majesty, don't be ridiculous. I'm not going anywhere."My fists clenched at my sides. "I won’t ask again."Her smirk faltered, but she tried again, brushing her fingers over my arm. "I'm here for you."That was it. “Out!” The roar that left my throat surprised even me. The walls seemed to vibrate with the force of it.For a moment, she just stared at me, her confidence shaken, but finally, she grabbed her clothes and stormed out, slamming the door behind her.My hands shook as I rubbed my face. What had I done? Kayla’s tear-streaked face flashed in my mind. I’d screwed up badly. I felt myself sober up and I felt

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

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
