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 wind that blew when the sisters arrived blew me off the slab and I fell to the floor with a thud, my body aching all over.There was commotion for a minute and it took me a while to gather my thoughts. When I finally did, I stood up from the floor and tried to scurry to safety.I felt something trickling down my face and knew it was blood. There was a sharp pain in my head and it blinded me and I couldn't even see what was happening in front of me.I felt someone's hand on my shoulder.“Kaya, what happened to you?”It was one of the sisters.“I can't see. There's something wrong.”What the hell was going on? I was fine just a few minutes ago.She touched my head and then whispered something I couldn't hear.“What’s going on? What are they doing?”There were loud shouts coming from the sisters and the fact they I couldn't see anything wasn't helping.“Kaya, there's something wrong with you and I don't know what it is..you need to get out of here as soon as possible. Listen to
THIRD PERSON POVAdrian and Kaya got out of the car, and looked up at the hotel, taking in it's beauty and magnificence.It was a very huge and beautiful hotel, and it was by the sea side. This was the kind of place Kaya had always wanted to visit, and Adrian made it come true.After they got married, because of the things that had been happening, they didn't have the time to take a break for their honeymoon, even though it was something that Kaya had always looked forward to.So many things had happened between the space of a few years, and it was almost overwhelming. It was a relief they were finally able to overcome it.Even Allister has also found his mate, Selena a while ago in the most unexpected of places, but everyone was happy for them. He had finally gotten his happy ending.Kaya had thought about the fact that they hadn't gone in their honeymoon, many times after their marriage. Adrian has promised her that even if it had to be when they got old, they would most definitely
THIRD PERSON POVYou are the best thing that has ever happened to me. I don't think there's anything I can do or give you to even be on par with you for the things you've sacrificed. I want to spend the rest of my life with you, living happily with our children,”Adrian dipped his hand into his pocket and brought out two necklaces.“I would like to renew my vows to you, to assure you that I would never abandon you, no matter what,”Tears streamed down Kaya's face. She wouldn't ever have thought that Adrian would do something like that.The both of them began to renew their vows to each other, and then they kissed.Adrian wiped the tears from her face and kissed her. It was like their wedding day all over again and she loved it.He then led her to get a table where they had their dinner and engaged in conversation.They spoke about a lot of things, reminiscing on how they met, and how their children were born and how their lives were a blessing.They're happy they made it this far toge
ADRIAN“I hated you. I hated you so much that I didn't wish to ever see you. I wished you dead. I hope that you will die, mum. You left us when we needed you the most. When we wanted you to be around.. what should we have done without you?”She had stood up and walked closer to me.“I’m sorry. I'm so sorry for everything that happened and I wish I could take it back but I can't. You don't know how much I wish things could go back to normal with your father and I here with you but I guess all we have to hold on to.”In all honesty, I missed my mother. I missed my mother so much that sometimes, I'd just take her picture and stare at it so hard wishing that she was here.Maybe that was why Milo and I connected. We could relate to the fact that we didn't have mothers or we had and they just decided to leave us.“You should have left a note. You should have left a note stating why you left. Stating when you'd be coming back. Why did it take you eighteenth years to come back?”“I had to mak
ADRIANI didn't want to listen to anything that she or anyone had to say. But somehow, Kaya found her way to my heart.“Adrian, please. Just listen to her and hear what she has to say.”“No Kaya! You don't know what she did! She almost ruined things for this family. Does she know what her actions did to my father? He almost lost his title because she left. He loved her so much that he almost lost his sanity and the only thing she could do was pack up and leave him.”She sighed and placed her hand on my shoulder..“Adrian, do you know what made her leave? I think you should hear her out first before ruling that she left because she wanted to.”I looked at her.“So are you trying to say that I'm over reacting?”“No, I'm not. All I'm saying is that you should hear her out please. For my sake and for the fact that she came all the way here.”I don't care where she came from, even if it was from the clouds. As long as she didn't speak to me..“Adrian please. Just hear her out.”I didn't wa
ADRIAN 18 YEARS AGOI woke up to my parents raising their voices at each other again. It was now a daily occurrence. Sometimes, I didn't even know what they were fighting about and other times, I didn't know who's side to pick.They enjoyed putting me in the middle, making me choose who was wrong and right and I hated it. I hated it so much so I tried to stay as far away from them as possible.I went about my usual day despite the noise. Everyone was used to it, them going at it everyday and I wouldn't let them ruin my day..I managed to ignore them, until I heard a loud crash. I ran upstairs to check on my parents door but it is locked so I started banging so hard on the door..“Dad? Mum?! Are you okay?! What's going on! I heard a loud noise!”No one said anything and it was like they weren't there any more. I had to press my ear against the door to even hear if they were still inside but the door opened then and I fell to the group.My father raised me up with one hand while the
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
