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
KAYA“Again!”I refocused my stance, ready to shift.“No, if you do that, you'll end up with an injury. Your form is all wrong.”I was so tired. Lia and I had been rehearsing for the entire day and it has drained me.When she told me that it was time for me to change, I didn't hesitate. I had been looking forward to it in fact and now that it was here, I wouldn't let it go past me.We'd started our day with practice, warming up and all that and then, we moved to shifting.“Why is it so hard the second time? I mean, it wasn't this hard when I was doing it the first time. I mean, it was so painful I thought I'd die but not this hard.”Thinking back to the pain I suffered that night made me cringe and if I had to endure it again, then I might never end up shifting..“Maybe it's because you're not marked?”No, that shouldn't be an issue.“Being marked should even be the reason why I should be more powerful. Can we take a few minutes break? I need to catch my breath.”I laid down on the g
KAYASaying yes to Adrian had been my dream since I found out that I was his mate. It was like my dream thing to do and I looked forward to the day when i would finally be able to call myself his wife and Luna.And now that that day had presented itself to me, I just didn't know what to do with it.“Kaya?”He was kneeling in front of me, asking me to marry him and yet, that three letter word was stuck in my throat.But I had a reason.“Kaya, is there something wrong? I mean, you want to marry me right?”I could see that he was panicking but he was still trying to cool down.“Yes, I do.”“So what's the hold up?”The hold up was something that was out of my reach.“We’re about to fight a battle, Adrian. We're going to be the first people to stand up to the cult. You, the first wolf and me, the first special wolf. I have no idea if I will succeed. That's my fear, failing. What if one of us doesn't come back from the battle? What if we have to continue each other without our love? What's
THIRD PERSON POVHe called his brothers together that night.It was going to be a very important night for them because they had finally located the Special Wolf.Out of all the times that it had been recorded that this had been done, this time around had been the hardest and they all had to admit it.The Grandmaster didn't like the fact that just that little girl had given him sleepless nights. He didn't like the fact that she has been his reason to ask for help from mortals and go as far as killing someone who wasn't worth it because of her.Now, they had found her and she was the mate of his greatest enemy. That couldn't be a coincidence. It was very obvious that they were both destined to die from the onset and he would be very glad to do the honors of killing them.If he didn't, then someone else would have the honors of doing so and he didn't want to give anyone that chance.Alpha Adrian had been a thorn in his flesh for very long and he wanted to pull that thorn out and crush i
KAYA It was the middle of May. Milo had come back home to spend some time with us. After his coronation, he had left the pack to spend time living as a normal person so that he would understand what it means to live among the people. Adrian didn't like it because he felt like Milo could be learning about the kingdom rather than doing all that but the boy's mind had been set. I could understand where they were both coming from but since it was what he wanted, I couldn't stop him and neither could his father. The only condition Adrian gave him was that he would stay with Roy. If he stayed with Roy, then his heart would be more at peace knowing that he was with someone he trusted. Roy loved the idea of Milo being over and so since the beginning of the year, he had been there. When I told him it was his father's birthday, he knew he had to come back. This time around, we didn't want a big celebration. Although since it was an official holiday, the entire kingdom knew and the
KAYA There was finally time for Milo's coronation. We had been putting it off for so long but now, we were going to make it happen. It had taken me a week to make all preparations because I wanted this to be perfect. I'd sent out the invitations earlier to everyone and made sure everything down to the last detail was ready. Milo was very excited about this and I could see how much this meant to him. He and Adrian had been spending the week together because Adrian said it was part of his hazing ceremony to welcome him into the circle of Kings. Unlike the forest his father had left him in for a week to find for himself, he wanted to do things that he hadn't done with Milo before like fishing and hunting. The party was tonight and I just got a call from the tailor that there had been some issues with the clothes. Milo's clothes to be exact. I didn't want to lose it because I knew I had to find a solution one way or another and I had to find it fast. I hurried over to the
KAYATWO MONTHS LATERMaybe I was the one who was mad. Maybe I was losing it. As soon as the maid told me I ran out of my room and went downstairs. The madness in this house had to stop. I had endured tol much from that bitch and maybe she thought that since I was quiet, I was stupid but not again. The kitchen door was locked just as I thought it would be. “Selena! You stupid bitch! Open the door!” I could hear her moving around inside and she laughed. “Oh, I see they came to report to you again. As I told them, I'll be cooking Adrian's food today. I mean, after all. I'm basically just a second wife.”Second wife?! In what universe?! The maids said that before they woke up, she had locked herself in the kitchen and they couldn't even make breakfast for the twins to take to school. “Are you nuts? This is my house and my kitchen! Open the damn door!” “Why don't you kick it o
KAYA When we got to the grave site, we were amazed because it wasn't your normal six feet. “She was claustrophobic. I don't think it'd be fair to give her a tight grave.” We could understand that and we stayed there with him when he said things to her and told her how much he loved her and missed her. It rained earlier that day so maybe that just made the whole thing gloomier. We went back to the house with the guests. The food has been ready since last night and we just stood in a corner while Roy attended to his guests. The kids had to stay upstairs because we didn't want thtme to be down here. It was only Roy's son that was down here. “Thank you so much for coming, everyone. I really appreciate you for being here. My wife would have been so happy to know that there were many people who actes about her. Its just said that it's only at her death that we had this crowd. I don't really have much to say but I l
KAYAWe couldn't stay with Roy even though we wanted to. Adrian was the King, there was no way that he would not sleep in the house. Well, at least that's what Roy had been trying to tell him for the past hour but it was like everything he said went over his ears. He didn't want to hear any of it. “Roy, this is not just a condolence visit. It's a friendly visit. You've been my friend for years and you don't expect me to go home when you need me. I need to stay here with you.” Roy looked drained. I didn't like that Adrian was arguing with him but then again, Adrian wasn't going to stop until he got what he wanted. He turned to me for help and all I could do was just stare at him. “Kay, please say something.”I didn't want to tell him not to worry because there was nothing that he was going to say that would make Adrian change his mind but I didn't say that. I also know that it was a technique to take Roy's mind
KAYAThe morning came with bad news. I was still in bed when Lorian came to wake me up that Adrian and Nora were going out. At first, I didn't understand what he was talking about because I was so sleepy. Adrian had kept me up late last night talking and talking and making sure that I had forgiven him. I picked up my robe and ran out of the room because he was dragging me out. Luckily, I got outside before the car drove off. “Adrian, what's going on? Is everything okay?”He turned around to look at me. “Roys wife is dead. We just got a call now. We're going there to see him. I didn't want to wake you up.”The words couldn't form in my mouth. I just stayed there and stared at him. Roy's wife is dead. “Go, I'll meet up with you later.”As the car drove off, I just watched it go. In the end, the cancer had won. Gosh, I couldn't imagine what he would be going through right now.
ADRIANIt was like she had developed some kind of power because with the way she was walking, I found it so hard to catch up with her. Even when I tried to hold her hand, she wouldn't let me. “Kay, please wait. Let me speak to you.”If I couldn't hold her hand, I would have to hold her legs because I could let her use anger to ruin this. “What’s the whole point of talking? Do you know how long we've been talking for? There's no use. There's only action now.”Thankfully, Nora appeared since we had passed her room and she had heard the noise. “What is going on?”I had to tell her through a mind link since I couldn't risk anyone else hearing what I had said. The walls had ears. “I knew something was up with the way they just appeared out of nowhere. Where did you get a gun?”I wondered when she had seen a gun in my hand and then I realized that she was speaking to Kaya. I slowly grabbed
ADRIAN I knew that I was the last person that she wanted to see but I still had to go see her. Now that things were finally over, it was the right time to see her. Normally, I should have waited until she got enough sleep so that she won't feel irritated when i woke her up. Her being irritated would just make things harder for us to talk out. But I was already at her door and I couldn't go back. Wait, why couldn't I go back? She doesn't know I'm here yet. Yes, I should let her sleep and then come back in the morning when she's well rested. As I turned my back to leave, I heard footsteps and then the door opened. We ended up looking at each other for a while before I came closer to the door. “Hey, I thought you'd be asleep and I didn't want to wake you up.”She looked at me with her eye half open. “No, you knew I was awake. You were scared. Come in.” Of course, she knew. I stepped int
KAYA “You were the one who packed up and left our three day old child in the hospital! You left me for over sixteen years and you think that I won't move on? I shouldn't even be looking for you to begin with but I didn't so that out son will have closure and you blame me for loving a woman who had a very good heart and cared for me?” The whole thing was conflicting because to an extent, I could understand what Alisha has gone through and how that shaped her life but what I couldn't understand was how Lucy got caught in her crazy web. “It doesn't matter if I left. You can't fall in love with my best friend or the woman I've loved for years! Its not fair. On top of all that, you only used me for sex. I hated all of you. I hated you and I hated Tim. But I couldn't hate Lucy. She was just the victim in all of this. I was sure that if she could understand that I truly loved her, then we would be together. She was the only one who only ever understood me. She knew my story, she knew abou
