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
KAYAWhen I woke up that morning, I felt the shift in the atmosphere. Something was wrong and I could feel it.The people had successfully been transported to Adrians pack and now, it remained just the soldiers and I.It had been hard to get Milo to leave Adrian and I at a time like this when he needed the both of us by his side. But it was too dangerous for him to be here. We couldn't risk the cult using him to get to us.So it was best we just let him stay here.Adrian had been trying to act like everything was fine since what happened and I could see that he was hurting. I did it for both our sakes. If anything happened to either one of us, we would be able to move on.But promising each other marriage when we didn't even know what was going to happen wouldn't be easy. From the look of things, I might have to sacrifice myself just to make sure that the cult was gone forever.That was something I didn't want to bring up with him. I knew he wouldn't understand any part of it so there
KAYAI'd never felt this alive in all my life.It was like all my senses were activated at once. I could smell everything, see every little movement, there was so much adrenaline pumping through my body and most of all, I could hear better.That's why when there was movement in the bushes at the border, I heard it.“They’re here. Everybody, take your positions. And the moment you see or feel anything, call for help immediately.”Everyone fanned out while Adrian and I stood in front of the house like we were at the helm of a ship.Nora was out with the guards that were at the border. She was supposed to send a signal. Why hadn't she said anything?“Are you sure she didn't say anything?” I asked Adrian.He nodded and stared at one spot.“She said she hasn't heard anything yet. Are you sure you heard something?”I kept quiet again so I could listen and channel my hearing well towards the woods.“Yes, I heard them. They must have gotten past Nora with their powers. I'm sure of it. Nobod
KAYAI stood in front of them, nobody moving as we stared at each other, waiting for some to make the first move.“You know you can't kill me right? It's just a little reminder. I mean, not even if you tried. it's just a little reminder.”I knew I shouldn't boast to them but at this point, I needed to destabilize them and make them think that I was stronger than them so that they would exhaust all their resources in a haste.“I’ll also need to remind you that this is not our first time dealing with someone like you. We've dealt with people of your mind before and I need to let you know that we succeeded.”I needed to stall them for now. Lia was telling me that it wasn't yet time to let them attack.“I have a question for you though. All of you. What was the point of this brotherhood?”It was obvious the Grandmaster took pride in talking about his cult because he smiled and looked back at the others.”This cult was created centuries ago by the Goddess herself. She created the first set
KAYA“Its nothing, My Queen. I couldn't sleep either ways so this just gives me something to do.” “Perfect..I just have a question to ask you. I've been doing some digging recently and I've found out a few things. Also, a few things have happened.” She seemed comfortable, straight like she had nothing to hide. Or maybe she was just good at doing so. “We finally found Lucy's phone and according to the records, it shows you called her the day she was killed. Did you forget to mention that or did you intentionally leave that out?” Her strong gaze faltered and for the first time since tonight, she looked at the walls. “It seems I forgot to mention it.” “Sandy, I'm sure you know that whether you tell me or not, I will find it out myself. With or without your help. I just called you here as a formality or would you rather I began to see you as a suspect?” “No! Don't do that..I have nothing to hide. I would never do anything to harm Mrs Lucy.”Then I guess we were on the same track.
KAYAI slowly got up from the bed because Lana was so unpredictable. Sometimes, she was a light sleeper and other times, even an atomic bomb wouldn't wake her up. This time around, she was the latter. I slowly backed away from her until I was out the door. “Why are you sneaking out of her room?” “Jesus Christ! Milo!” I had to hold my chest so that my heart won't fall out. He didn't seem fazed that he had just scared the crown off me. I opened the door again to check on Lana to make sure that she was still asleep. “Why’re you sneaking out of her room though?” This kid would be the end of me. “Maybe you wouldn't have seen me here if you were in your room sleeping. I'm the adult here. What are you doing here?”I pulled him along with me. “I always check on Lana every night before I go to bed. I just got back from the Twins’ rooms.”He does that? I never noticed. “Are you asleep yet?” He looked at me like I should know the answer to that. “Pretending to be. I told them to do t
KAYA“That's her secretary. Why would Sandy fail to mention that she called Lucy on the day she died?” Or did she have something to hide too? Nora chimed in. “I don't think she forgot. Sandy remembers details. I think she intentionally left that part out.”But if it didn't mean anything, why would she leave that part out? “Is there any record of the conversation?” He turned the laptop screen to me. “I couldn't find anything. It's like she called and ended the call immediately. It was barely a second.” Was that intentional or was it a mistake? “What time did her call come in?” He turned the screen back to himself. “Eleven thirty.” I was trying to create a timeline but the evidence wasn't enough. “I think I need to speak to her again. Nora, can you get her on the phone for me? Don't alert her about anything. Just tell her that we urgently need her for something and that we will send a guard to pick her up.” It was actually quite late and I didn't know if the commissioner w
KAYA“For now, we just need to focus on finding hard evidence that truly puts her there or else, our theory is out the window.” Nora stood at the board, spending a long time staring at it. I sat down behind her and thought too.Milo brought in Lana and I just put her on the floor to do her own thing. She didn't seem to care that I didn't have her time. “Oh yeah mum, there's a man here to see you. I don't know what his name is.” Must be Tobias. “Can you bring him here? Thanks baby.” How did the detective find the phone so quickly? I thought they claimed that they couldn't find it at the crime scene. How come it turned just a while after I had asked him.to look for it? That meant that if he wanted to look for it, he would have easily found it. The door opened and Milo came back with Tobias and some of the other men I'd seen earlier today at the fire scene. “Good evening, My Queen. Good day, Beta. This is my deputy and this is the Head of crimes. Just as you've asked, I've come
KAYA“Why were you calling me? What happened?” This was the first time in almost two weeks that I was this close to him. This was also the first time in two weeks that I was smelling my husband's cologne again. “I thought you were dead. I got called today and I thought the accident was you. Turns out you were too busy having fun to even pick my calls.” He looked like he was done with my bullshit and technically, I didn't care. “Why do you keep saying this? I just told you that I misplaced my phone. What more do you want from me? I apologized for not coming to the station quickly. But how was I supposed to know? I didn't have my phone.”Was that the excuse he was going for? When I turned around to face him, he knew he had said something stupid. “You don't need a damn phone call to know when your wife is not in the house. Usually, you can feel her absence and when she's not in bed next to you, you get your ass up and go look for her. I guess I can only count on Nora to save me.”I
KAYAWhen I got tired of hearing Nora give the man hell, I got up. “Nora, it's okay. He has already apologized. Detective, if it's not my husband in the car, please who is it?”We looked down the hill at the car. The firefighters had just successfully put out the fire and they were trying to raise the car unto the pavement. “It's Alisha's car.” That was another shock and I couldn't help the way I reacted. “What did you say?”That's when I looked back at the car and it finally looked familiar. I had seen it in the driveway when I went to her house. “W-what happened?”“As for now, we have no idea. We can't exactly say what happened to her but we will know more when we investigate.”We had to give them space as they dropped the car on the pavement. Before long, a car pulled up and Tobias and some other men joined us. “My Queen, good day. I just got word that you came here.” Being here meant that it was truly important. I wanted them to treat it as such because now, we didn't have
KAYA That meant that Tim didn't know that Lucy was trying for a kid again. “I’ll come see you later, Tim. Just hang in there. You'll be out in a bit okay?”“That’s not what matters to me, Luna. I just want you to find who killed my wife. That's the only time I'll truly be at peace. If I get out without knowing what happened to Lucy, my life would never be the same.”I could understand his point. “And I'll do everything in my power to make sure that I find who did this. And I'll make them pay. I'll see you later.”I left him and went back upstairs. “I was about to come down to meet you. I've put people out to look for her. We should get news before the end of tomorrow.” I didn't see Lana in her arms so I figured that someone else had her or she had fallen asleep. I had been focusing on the wrong person so much that she had time to run away and we had no idea. But then, there was no way that I could have caught onto her trickery. If I hadn't gone to the house and decided to cal
KAYAHe nodded. “When she eventually told Lucy and Lucy told me, it happened to fall on a date when I was in the hospital for the injury on my leg. There was no way I would have been out because I was in surgery and I didn't wake up until three weeks later. When Lucy realised, she apologized to me and came back home. I forgave her. I didn't blame her one bit.“Alisha is manipulative. When she noticed that things were good again, she came for me. Lucy had to travel for some work. One night, I came back and found her in my home in nothing but lingerie. She climbed in through the window. I didn't even want to hear what she had to say before I asked her to get out. She cried and begged, saying that I wasn't being fair with her and that it wasn't fair that Lucy had to get everything she'd ever wanted. She said that Lucy didn't have to know what was going on between us and that we could keep it a secret.“The fact that she had lied against me before just made me even more angry and since s
KAYA She stayed on the phone for quite a while, while I asked the maid to get me something to eat. Maybe because I had rushed my food, I didn't feel like I'd eaten anything. She got off the phone before I could get my food. ”What’s going on? What did he say?”I could see the disappointed look on her face.“He says the house is empty. It's like no one ever lived there. She packed up everything and left.” What? Packed up and left? “Why would she do that? How the hell didn't he see that she was leaving?” ”He said she must have done it in the dead of night. I don't know. I'll only run when I have something to hide.” Did Alisha run? Or was she forced into leaving? With Alisha not in the picture, that just left a lot of loose ends untied. There were a lot of questions to ask her and now that she was MIA, there was no one to ask them. “I need to see Tim. I'll be right back.” Since I couldn't get to Alisha, I might as well speak to someone who might have known her. I need to know
