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
KAYAWith a single slash of the knife across my palm, it was like the walls of the house were blown away and the ground opened up.It got so windy that the cult brothers had to their faces with their robes but I could see everything clearly. Out of the darkness, emerged the sisters and I'd never felt so at ease in my life.Everything finally settled down and I could see them. The sisters and I versus the cult.“Don’t you old women ever get tired? I mean how long has it been ? You should be old and withered by now.”One of the sisters laughed.“Says the person who has been renewing his youth with the blood of innocent women and children.”What? Was that what they did to make themselves seem younger?“You should mind your words, Bianca. They might get you into trouble.”She laughed.“What trouble? You seem to have forgotten, Lucas. You were just a silly little boy when I killed your father. I would have killed you too that day, but for some reason, I thought you would be better than him
KAYAThey put me in ropes, bound my leg and feet together and just pushed me as we walked in the forest.I was trying so hard not to trip over my own feet and not to also lose balance and fall to the floor. There was something wrong with me. I couldn't see very clearly and my legs were so weak.My mouth felt so dry and I felt like giving in. I couldn't even hear Lia 's anymore. I tried calling out for her but her voice was very faint. Even Adrian 's voice was very low.“What did you do to me? I know you did something so tell me. What did you do to me?”Someone spoke up from the front.“Those ropes are laced with wolfsbane and Night, the witch's poison. Everyone with powers is weak when it comes to it. You can't escape it.”I know I couldn't but right now, my body can't take it anymore. My knees buckled and I fell to the ground, darkness covering me.By the time I woke up, my head was banging. I could feel my blood rushing to my head and I was cold. There was a distant sound that sound
ADRIANThey really did not expect me to sit still and do nothing.“Nora, that's the woman I plan to marry out there with those men. They could kill her!”“And the sisters said nothing like that would happen to her so why don't you just believe that?”Well, the sisters weren't exactly there to see what was going on and neither were any one of us which is exactly why we should be out there and looking for her.“Nora, if I was the one who got kidnapped by men you knew would kill me, would you sit back and wait for me to come home?”She didn't answer at first.“I would look for you but that would be because I didn't have assurance that you'll be fine. You already have the word of the sisters that nothing would happen to her so why are you worrying? Even if we go after them, we have no idea where they are, we have no idea how to fight them because they're not humans so how exactly do we get to her?”She was right? The cult didn't exactly have a particular spot where they were known to sta
KAYASomeone came into the room to untie me. Although I couldn't see the person's face, I felt like they were familiar. The room was dark and that candle wasn't lit.As the person moved across the room, I tried to picture how many people I knew who had that build but tte possibilities seemed endless. It was like the more I thought about it, the more the bridge opened.He helped me get down from the platform and guided me across the hallway, the weakness in my legs enveloping my upper body. They hadn't used other ropes, it was still the ropes laced with poison that they had used to tie me and it had weighed me down. I mean, my body felt like it wasn't existent anymore.I tried to even lift my head up to look at who was holding me but I couldn't. Besides, his face was shielded by a cloak and a cape. He led me into a room and the cult sat there at a round table, looking at me.As I sat in front of them, my heart was fast wondering why they hell they had to say because I knew they brought
KAYAI don't know if being pregnant at this point was a good thing or a bad thing. First off, never in my life did I think that I would be finding out about my pregnancy from the people who wanted to kill me.Now that I knew, it made things more complicated because it meant I had to look out for the both of us. The baby and I.I'm guessing Adrian would never even think that something like this would happen. Gosh, why didn't it happen now?I mean, I was grateful. I was going to be sharing something this beautiful with Adrian and I couldn't think of any better person to share it with besides him but then again, I wish I could have been with him.Lately, I could feel my strength coming back. I don't know if it's because of the pregnancy or if it's because of what but I could feel my strength coming back.Lia was coming out once in a while to speak to me but she wasn't fully back yet.“Get up!” Someone loosened the ropes on me and pulled me off the slab that I was being held on. I wonde
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
