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.
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 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
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 point of view* Recently, life has been fucking me over in so many ways than one. It was as if I had a personal beef with life and it just wouldn't give me a fucking break. I am a she-wolf and you'd think I had the good stuff but you'd be sorely mistaken. I lived under the oppressive rule of step siblings who despised everything about me. They hated everything, even the very air I breathe because of fabricated reasons and lowered my status down to their slave. My blood sister and their parents died in a ghastly accident and they blamed me for it. Apparently, to them I was bad luck and an unfortunate person that brought gloom and doom everywhere I went despite the numerous times that I cried about my innocence. The most pathetic thing was that there was nothing I could do about it. I was just an adopted child raised by their parents who treated me fairly well considering the fact my late mother had an affair with their father. Now, this is where it gets really b
I moved my head away from his lips, stopping him from going further. “What’s going on? Why….” The man said as he noticed my withdrawal from him. I gave him no response.Realizing the reality of what I have gotten into, I shook my head in regret and stood up.I put on my discarded clothes with shaky hands from the floor. The man was still speaking to me but I didn’t hear him at all, a thousand thoughts were buzzing in my head.I walked to the door and opened it.“Wait…” he said from behind me as he fumbled with his underwear but I didn’t look back.I rushed back home, sneaking into my room as tears poured down my cheeks. It was not enough that my sister had taken my fated mate, now i just had a one night stand with a stranger under the Influence of alcohol. I had kept myself for a long time so I could give my pride to the one I love, my mate.I felt shattered as ran straight to my room with nothing but regret and shame as I sat down alone in the room.The room was simple, with a smal
I woke up abruptly due to a loud bang coming from somewhere in my vicinity. My whole body felt heavy and tired. I laid on my bed, trying to gather myself together so I could stand up and begin my chores. Immediately the door burst open and my step brother strode in. “Look who we have here. If it’s not the devil herself.” he said in a mocking tone. I was used to my stepsisters maltreating me but never will I ever get used to it coming from my step brother, Josh. I was an abused and frail she-wolf, living under the oppressive rule of my step siblings. They despised me deeply, especially the eldest sister and have turned me into the pack's slave, blaming me for the death of our parents. My parents died in a tragic accident on the way back from my high school graduation, together with my sister. Both my sister and our parents died aside me who survived the car accident unharmed. After the death of my sister and step parents, my step siblings and the rest of the pack saw me as bad
After the herbalist informed about my pregnant status, I decided to go to the nearby clinic to be sure I was truly pregnant.The big stone walls of the castle felt like they were closing in on me as I got back with different thoughts clouding my head. I could feel the eyes of my three step-siblings as they stared at me from across the huge hall as I walked in. I knew one of them would ask where I had been.Sure enough, as I reached the top of the stairs, my step brother’s voice called out to me at the same time, their voices sharp and accusing.“where have you been?"I took a deep breath and turned to face the three of them, getting ready for the argument that would no doubt ensue.But before I could say anything, my step brother eyes saw the crumpled piece of paper I was holding in my hand. I tried to hide it behind my back, but he was too quick.With a swift move, he walked up to me, snatched the paper from my hand and unfolded it.My insides twisted with dread as I witnessed their

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
