KAYAThis situation reminded me of the time that Adrian had gone missing and no one agreed to answer my question concerning his whereabouts no matter how much I asked.At that point in time, Nora and Allister were always talking in hushed voices and as soon as they saw me, they'd act like nothing was going on and they'd split up and change the topic.Right now, as I was standing at the top of the stairs, I could see them talking in hushed voices but I couldn't hear what they were saying.I was still mad at Adrian so I couldn't speak to him yet so right now, I could only ask Nora and Allister what was going on.So I decided to risk it and go downstairs.As expected, they stopped talking when they saw me and put in that fake smile that always creeps me out.“Hey guys, what's going on?”“Nothing!” She had that high pitched voice that let me know that she was lying. “Allister, why don't you go check on the guards? I'll finish up here.”As she said that, Allister gave her a look that meant
ADRIANI'd gone for a walk. I needed to clear my head before I lost it in that house.Kaya was very mad, she didn't bother to hide it from anyone and since she wasn't speaking to me for the way I acted towards Ava, this just made things worse.Before long, she packed up her things and came downstairs.“I’m leaving. I'm done with this, Adrian! I'm done with the lies and secrets.”There was nothing I could even say to her to convince her otherwise. Nora was trying to speak to her but I knew it was pointless. She already had plans to leave a while ago and with Ava's coming, she decided to postpone her plans.“Why’re you acting like this? Why're you acting like you don't care about her?”Of course, Nora had to bust my ass about doing nothing.“What do you want me to do? You want me to have begged her and told her not to leave? You knew that she would not have listened to me, you know she's crazy mad at me and speaking to her would make things worse.”I didn't even want her to raise her vo
KAYAIt took everything in me to gather up my things to leave. I thought I didn't have the guts to. But I did as a matter of fact.That day, I packed my things up and left, not wanting to have to deal with Adrian right now. I stopped for a bit when I walked past Milo's room but I slid a letter under his door, hoping that he would not hate me when he read it.Finding my way back to my pack was hard, as I didn't exactly walk here and I had barely been to my pack on foot but thankfully, Lia was there to help me.“You know, he was just trying to protect you. He didn't want you to have to deal with all that and that's why he didn't tell you about it.”I didn't answer her. Of course, she would support him.“Are we almost there? How much longer till we get there?”I'd been walking for two days, the last thing I needed was more stress. I just wanted to get back there and do what I had to do so I could leave.“Yeah, we should be there by nightfall. I should warn you about something though.”I
THIRD PERSON POVThey made it back to Alpha Adrian's pack that night. It was raining and so, it acted in their favor because the chaos would take attention away from them.Since Naya and Luke basically knew the lack like the back of their hands, they knew where to go that would take attention away from them, so they stayed in the little abandoned pack far away from other houses.Their agreement to work with the grandmaster meant that they now had powers of their own and they could hear him too.So when they fully settled in, he reached out to them.“Your first assignment would be to look for any female who had just found their wolf. This person is in that pack but we just don't know who. With the powers, you would be able to feel the strength when you're around them. It would be like they're more powerful than you.”They didn't understand this assignment.“Why are you looking for them? What did they do?”The grandmaster wasn't in the mood for questions.“Just do as you're told. And ma
KAYALia wasn't joking when she said that a lot of people wouldn't be happy with my return.What was I expecting though? A warm welcome?Even though I got I to the pack at night, there were still many people outside to see my return.When my father was still Alpha, the pack had a curfew. By nine pm, no one could be seen on the streets but it was almost midnight and it didn't seem like night at all.As I walked into the pack, I received stares. But no one moved a muscle and the fact that I could now hear what they were thinking wasn't exactly helpful.In general, they were all saying the same thing. How I had the guts to return and how I only came back because my father was dead. They felt betrayed.Betrayed? If anything, I should be the one who felt like I was betrayed because all these people stood back and watched as I was abused and beaten by the people I called family and they did nothing!And now, they have the guts to look at me like I did something wrong?Being back here brough
ADRIANShe was on the bed and I was standing over her.Over the last few weeks she had shrunk, becoming a shadow of herself. She couldn't keep anything down, she could barely stand or walk, she had blisters all over so she ended up on the bed.She was weak, very weak and she could barely talk.I knew her time was near and I didn't like it. Milo wasn't ready. She couldn't return after so long only to leave again without spending time with him.“I don't hate you, Ava. I really don't. I was just mad at you for what you did. Asher loved you a whole lot and automatically, it meant that I had to. You were an important part of his life and you always will be. I'll take care of Milo, you don't have to worry about him. He's my son now and he will get everything he deserves that he will forget that he didn't have his real parents. You don't have to worry about him, Ava. He's in good hands.”She nodded her head slowly, giving me a small smile and raising her hand to hold mine.“Thank you, for
KAYAI'd taken over as Alpha. No one could stop me, not even those damn elders.I'd had them arrested, each and everyone of them. They'd known if my father's involvement with the cult and yet they did nothing.“The time is drawing close, Kaya. It's time for the Cult to find you so we can put an end to them once and for all.”At the mention of the cult, I didn't seem so upset or afraid anymore. I was already for them. They had tormented me for long enough and it was time to face them.“What do I need to do to prepare myself?” I asked Lia.“First off, keep your home in check. Your guards need to start training as much as Adrian’s guards were training back then. And then, you need to get everyone in this pack to safety. Don't get them involved in this, Kaya. As much as you hate them for what they did, they're innocent.”Innocent? They stood back and watched while that man made me a pack slave. His daughter!“Kaya, listen to me. Don't let anger rule you. You will regret it. Just let them
KAYAI'd gotten across to Adrian, eventually.After deciding that I truly missed him and I actually wanted to speak to him, I couldn't hold back anymore. I just let the anger go and I got across to him through the mindlink.Even though he hasn't marked me, we could still talk through the mindlink because of my powers.He wanted to bury Ava before he came over here. If I was really going to do this, then I would need Adrian by my side to help me. I had never gone to war with anyone before and I needed someone with experience to put me through.Lia said I had to address the pack soon and tell them what was going on and I knew that it would cause a lot of chaos and I was already dreading it because I knew that they would have questions. Questions that I can't answer because I'm trying to protect them from the truth.I wish I could be there for Ava's burial, I know it's going to affect Adrian and Milo badly being that she was his mother and all.But for now, I had something to face. Nora
KAYAThe driver has mistakenly hit a woman. Thankfully, she wasn't injured but I still took her to the hospital to get a full checkup to rule out any internal injuries and generally to make sure that she's fine.“I'm so sorry. It's all my fault .I told my driver to hurry up so we could get home.”Poor boy was shaking in his boots in fear because Adrian would find out. I told him not to worry because I would take all the blame.“It’s fine. I should have been looking where I was going but I wasn't and I apologize for that.”I looked at her as she spoke. Something tugged my heart and I couldn't help but feel like I'd seen her somewhere before.“Have we met before?” She looked up and smiled.”No, I don't think so. I would have remembered a sweet soul like you if I had met you.”I gave her a small smile and glanced back at Milo who was doing something on my phone.“Is that your son?”I nodded. Milo was my son.“Yes, yes he is. Are you a member of this pack?”She hesitated before she answe
KAYAAdrian thought it was a good idea for Milo to start school now that he was verbal.He'd been scared of bringing it up to the boy for weeks because he felt that Milo might not like the idea of it. Since he hadn't exactly spent a lot of time around kids his age, Adrian feared that he might get picked on and in all honesty, I wondered the same thing but we wouldn't know if we didn't try. So that weekend, we went out to the park and spent the day together and then Adrian brought it up.Long story short, he seemed very happy about it. Infact, he got up to hug Adrian and he could see he was finally breaking out of his shell. I had been worried about him..I didn't want my baby boy to grow up as a weird kid. Today was his first day of school and I went to pick him up so that it would be a memorable day for him. I wanted to ask him how his first day was and then take him for ice cream for being so brave.Lucain and I hadn't been able to go for a honeymoon because of all the respon
KAYAWe'd woken up earlier that morning to start the preparations. The night before, we'd had a little bachelorette party.Nora and I alone since I didn't exactly have many other friends and neither did she. At the end, Milocame in to join us because he couldn't sleep.He was too excited. Adrian had chosen him as his best man and even though I knew he didn't know what that meant, it was so nice to see him be excited for our wedding.Since I was still breastfeeding, I couldn't drink alcohol so we just ate and caught up on old times and then when Milorefused to go stay with Adrian and Aaron and a few other Alphas who had come over for dinner earlier because they were talking about weird stuff, we decide to do some karaoke.Thankfully, we slept earlier so that we could wake up in time for the wedding.Everything went smoothly and since I had no one to walk me down the aisle, I walked myself down, with my eyes on Adrian as he smiled widely at me. I was shocked when I saw the tears in his
KAYAWe took the kids home, Liam and Adrian . It wasn't easy having two babies at the same time but somehow, I did it. I had hell from Adrian who hadn't left my side in days and then there was Nora who was at my beck as call.It felt really good to be loved and I was so happy that they could be there to help me. It had taken me a lot to end up where I was today and in the end, I had ended up a Luna and a mother.My mother had been the one to let me know that I was ready for this journey. I would have been able to do it without her help. Even though she wasn't here anymore, I was sure that she was looking at me.That was how much she loved me, that was how much she cares about me.Now that I had given birth, I suddenly wanted to get married to Adrian . I don't know why I now felt like it was the right time. Somehow, I felt that getting married when pregnant would not be suitable for what I wanted.Adrian had spoken to me about legally adopting Milo ..“Have you run it by the boy?”He
KAYAWhen I woke up that morning, I knew something was different. The way my body felt so heavy like there was a boulder on me but I thought being nine months pregnant does that to you.I went with Nora to shop for a few baby things because the doctor said that I should try to leave the house and stretch my legs. So I went with her into the pack.By the time we got there, I felt dizzy and something about my body changed. I tried to calm Nora’s attention and tell her that there was something wrong with me but as I opened my mouth, it was something else that came out of another part of my body.My water broke.I just stood there, not being able to move or think or speak. Nora suddenly turned to me and ran to me“Kaya! Why didn't you say something? Shit! Let me get the car and get Adrian.”I shook my head.“The hospital is just up front. Get Adrian now.”She nodded and walked me down the road. The contractions were coming heavily now and I was trying to balance the pain in my body while
ADRIANI didn't expect my day to go like this.Milo ran up to me that morning to tell me that he has something to say to me.“What’s it, buddy?”He started signing and then paused. Sometimes, he forgot that he could now talk. He stretched out his hand and I wondered what he wanted so he made the money sound.“It's her birthday tomorrow.”I was confused as to what he was talking about.”Who buddy?”He rolled his eyes and looked at me.“Kay. It's her birthday tomorrow.”My eyes widened. How the hell did he know and I didn't? Maybe it was because he spent a lot of time with her and he seems to know her better than me.I patted his head and brought out some money to give to him.“Thanks buddy. You're the best.”I wondered what I was going to do for her. It would be her first birthday as a mother and as my fiance and I wanted to make it special for her.I wanted her to feel like the queen that she was. She mattered to me so much and I wanted to let her know it.That's why I'd been spending
KAYAJust because Adrian and I were waiting for the baby to come first before having the wedding, didn't mean that we still didn't have to shop and look around for things.I'd seen a wedding dress that I liked and I wanted to try it on to see if it would fit my body. Also because I wanted to look pretty.Where things started to go wrong was when the dress couldn't fit and the attendant said that it was the largest size that they had.I just nodded and left the shop with Nora in my arms. I would have really liked that dress but I don't think I can anymore. “Don’t worry. I'm sure you will find something even more beautiful.”I knew that she was just trying to be nice and I knew I was fat. Then we decided to stop at a store to get fruits and all that and as I filed my baskets with fruits and food, a child pointed at me.“Mummy, why's this lady so fat? Look at her tummy. She looks like the teddy bear in my room.”My very fragile self esteem dropped and crashed to the floor and I didn'
KAYAMilo spoke.Adrian had been speaking to me about the wedding and the baby, asking which I wanted to happen first.“Baby.” It had come as a whisper and I looked at him because I heard a sound from him but when he just smiled, I looked back at Adrian.“Baby.” His voice was clearer now and Adrian looked at him with wide eyes and then knelt in front of him.“What did you say buddy? Can you repeat it?”He nodded.“Baby.”I'd never seen Adrian cry before but this time around, tears gathered in his eyes like I had never seen before.“He talked. My son talked.”The joy was catchy and I didn't know when I started crying too. I knelt down in front of him and pulled him in for a hug.“That’s my boy. I'm so proud of you. Come here.”The doctors had said he wouldn't be able to talk but he had proved them wrong. He had shown them that he could do anything he wanted to as long as he put his mind to it.Adrian had taken him to the hospital for a check up to see if there were any risks of him sp
THIRD PERSON POVThey traveled back to the pack and were welcomed amidst great celebration. The pack was happy to have their Alpha back after fighting a battle..Adrian was not just happy to see this, but he was also happy that they welcomed Kaya as well too. She had a hard time being accepted and if she was going to be his Luna, he would like for the people to at least like her..Seeing that they had welcomed her back home, it filled his heart with joy. He went home to see his son who he was sure had missed him so greatly.As soon as the boy heard his voice, he ran downstairs and jumped into Adrians arms, letting tears skip down his face.“It’s okay. I'm back now. You don't have to worry. I'm never leaving you again.”He pulled Kaya in for a hug and kissed the both of them on the head. This was now his home and he would protect it as much as he can.He couldn't grow up with a family the way he wanted to but he would make sure that his kid receives better. He'll make sure that his ch
