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
ADRIANWhen she reached out to me, I was surprised because I didn't think she would want to speak to me after what happened.But she did and I was happy because right now, this house was suffocating. With the death of Ava, it has become glum and since basically everyone at the pack knew her, the pack was thrown into mourning.I buried her right next to Asher just as she has asked for. She wanted to stay with him even till death.After her death, I didn't think that Milo would ever receive but funny enough, it was like he got better. I not saying that he hated her but I think it was because he had been longing to see her after she left and that thing turned him into a shadow of himself.Now even though she is dead, he has seen her and he has spoken to her. He'd cried the day she died and the day after that I told he asked for food.My son hadnt eaten anything in days. He took small portions or he just didn't eat at all.He'd asked about Kaya and I had to tell him that she wasn't at the
THIRD PERSON POVNaya didn't like this man. She had a feeling that he could be using her new found freedom for something else other than being a lap dog for an old man who didn't even know what he was doing.It annoyed her so much to be working under someone. She was never the mind to take orders. The only people she took orders from were her brother and Adrian.And since this man wasn't either of them, she didn't want it.“Do you have something to say, young lady?”The Grandmaster turned his attention to her because he could hear the things she was thinking.“No, I have nothing to say. I just wanted to question what exactly we are doing here concerning what it is we are planning to achieve. I mean, you brought us here saying that you will help us achieve our plan. I wanted to get Adrian, she wanted to kill her sister and he wanted our sister but we're here being lap dogs for you. So I ask you, how exactly should I be happy with all this?”The Grandmaster didn't like rebellious disc
KAYAI ended up sleeping in Milo's room that night because I really didn't want to sleep alone. So I decided to sleep with him. In the morning, I had just opened my eyes when the door opened. Nora stood in the doorway, already prepped for the day and she signalled me to come out since Milo was still fast asleep. I slowly removed my arm from under his head, trying not to wake him up. “Tobias is here, in the waiting room.”Already? What time was it? “Nora, I need you to do something. Go to his office and get the files of Lucy's murder. I want to go through them. After that, I'll meet you up at the house. We need to go through her house to know what her life was like.”I'll just ask one of the guards to take me to Lucy's. “You’ll question him alone?” “Yeah, I just need to shower first.”I genuinely felt like I could use a few more minutes in bed but that phase of my life
KAYA“Kay-”“Adrian, please. I'm trying to get some sleep. Sleep that I couldn't get because you left me in that cell for days! Please, leave me alone.”I walked over to my side of the bed and pulled the covers over me. I didn't have time to banter words with him. “Why’re you acting like this? I thought I already apologized. Why are you making it to be something it's not?”I knew what he was doing. Riling me up so I would talk. But I won't give in to him. I had to get up early tomorrow. Tobias was coming and I was almost definitely going to be spending the first part of the day alone since I wanted Nora to go and get me the case files. After I saw Tobias, I would meet up with her so that we would go to Lucy's house together. From what I gather, the house had been closed down since the murder. I just hoped that no one had gone into the house after the murder to mess things up. “Kaya, going to bed while angry isn't going to make things better. Besides, I had no idea you were going
KAYAThat's exactly what I did when I got home.I headed for Lana's took where I saw the maid feeding her.“My Queen.”“Is she crying? Let me see her?”I dropped my bags and headed straight to take her. She seemed heavier as I carried her and her face lit up as I called her name.“Hello, my princess. Did you miss me? You seem to be going well.”I didn't know whether I should be happy that she was doing fine or I should be sad that she probably didn't notice that I was gone.“Maaamma!”I just froze, not being able to say another thing.I looked at the maid who had a big smile on her face.“Is that her first word?”Th
KAYA“Milo, where the hell is your father? Isn't he getting my texts? Why isn't he coming? Why didn't he come with you?”The door opened and Nora walked into the room. “I don't know. He hasn't been home. I haven't seen him yet.”What on earth was going on? Where was my husband? “What about your brothers? Are they okay?” He nodded. “They’ve been asking a lot of questions about you and dad though and I'm running out of things to tell them.”I needed to go back to my home. “Nora, get us out of here. I need to go back to my kids since my husband has forgotten who he is.”My head was still spinning when I tried to stand up. “Kaya, you need to rest. You hit your head pretty bad.”I touched my head and thankfully, there was no bandage. Only a bandaid. “Don’t worry about me. I'll rest when I go back home and check on my kids.”I could tell that we were still in the station, they probably just took us to the lounge area.By the time I get back home, Adrian better be dead or dying becaus
KAYA“I don't think he did it.” Was the first thing I told Nora as we entered the back of the car. “I know..I was trying to rile him up to see how bad his anger was. Perhaps that was what led to her death. But he remained calm.”I knew that was what she was trying to do..So what do we do now?Oh well, I'm sure this whole misunderstanding would be cleared up today because I couldn't spend another night in that cell. And why the hell had Adrian not come looking for me? Hadn't he checked his phone to see my texts or calls? And didn't Milo see the text?What the hell was going on?Didn't they realize that I wasn't around or were they finally relieved that I was out of the house?“Either way, we still need to find out what he and Lucy had that made him call her that much. It's not normal for a business relationship.”I'll try my best to speak to him today so he can clear things up..There were just too many inconsistencies. “I mean, if there was nothing going on between him and Lucy,
KAYAI don't know if Nora forgot that we were being arrested and we were going to have records and could possibly go to jail if not for the fact that we were who we were. But if this was a normal situation and we had really planned to kidnap that kid, there was no way we would not spend the rest of our lives in jail. She didn't even care about the fact that he was the district commissioner. I think that fact even irritated her more because she just kept speaking to him no matter what he said. It was like they knew each other before and she hated him already. “You kidnapped my son! There's nothing else you want to say! People in the bar agree with the story!”People in the bar? The motorcycle guy…he was the only one who could tell the truth. “The people in the bar are drunk fools! They wouldn't know what's happening even if the sun came down and fell on their heads. You want to believe them?”Nora was surely going to wear him out eventually. All I had to do was stand there and wa
KAYA“Get down and get out.”Weren't they supposed to bring us out? “We’re in cuffs, you flipping twit!”They turned around to look at us. Well, me and Nora's angry face. “Oh.”What did I do to deserve this?.They finally had mercy on us and brought us down from the car. “Walk straight and don't look at anyone. You're the bottom of the food chain.”He's not going to be on the food chain by the time I get out of here. The place was big. I'm guessing it's because it's the district. We got in the elevator and the only thing that could be heard at first was the changing of floors..Well, that was until the officers decided that they wanted to tell us about how wild their last night was. Nora couldn't hide the disgust on her face and she made sure that they saw it. “Do you have something to say, girl? Or you want me to hit it out of you?”“I’d like to see you try.”“What did you say?”As he walked over to Nora, I just closed my eyes because I was beginning to get sleepy and anything
KAYAI just sat there on the floor, thinking about my life..I felt quite weak and I was really hungry. My stomach made a noise and Nora heard it. “Was that you?”I nodded. It was funny how the two ladies in the cell passed out and till now, they haven't moved an inch. “Dont worry about it. I'll look for something to eat for you.”We were both in the cell. How would she find me something to eat? Besides, we both needed to eat. Not just me.An officer came back with fresh breath mints and opened our cells. “Look sharp. The father of the boy you took wants to see the two women who caused such a ruckus yesterday. You should have planned your escape better.” If we had truly kidnapped the kid, there is no way they would have never found us because as soon as we left the bar, that's the last time anyone will see us. But I just left them to believe what they wanted to. It was obvious everyone here was a knuckle head and I didn't have the time to engage them. If they were going to take
KAYABy the time I woke up, it wasn't morning yet and Nora was standing by the gate, staring out. “Nora, you know you're not on guard right? You can sit down. You can't stand through the night. You need to rest too.”She came back to sit beside me. “I’ll get us out of this. Don't worry, I'll think of something.”I didn't want her to put pressure on herself. Anything that wants to happen should happen. I didn't have the strength for anything that was happening right here. “Don’t bother yourself, Nora. We’ll be fine. As long as we don't get thrown in jail, nothing will happen. We'll figure a way to get through this.”It was past midnight and the activities in the station had died down. It just remained a few officers who hadn't fallen asleep asides the ones who had. I looked at the female officer who was busy working. She looked so focused. An idea suddenly struck me. I calle
