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
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'
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
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
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
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
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
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
KAYAMaybe I should have called Adrian. I was still trying to assess the situation when a stone came out of nowhere and hit me on the head. I stumbled back a bit because it hurt so much. “Kaya!”Nora dragged me away and took me inside. I could already feel the liquor trickling down my hand but I didn't want to look at it. “Kaya, you're hurt. Let me see.”“No, it's nothing. I'm fine. It's just a scratch.” I knew it wasn't just a scratch. “Call Adrian. Tell him what is going on. Don't tell him I've been injured. That won't go down well with him.”I should have known that I can't trust Nora with Adrian. I would rather leave the twins with candy and tell them not to eat it. As soon as Adrian picked up the call, she gave him a short but detailed explanation of what happened. And of course, she told him that I had been injured. “I had to tell him that you're bleeding. I
KAYAAfter I told her to get out, I went to Milo's room. I knew that he was distraught right now and he probably didn't want to hear anything I had to say. It felt like we had kept the truth from him when actually, there was nothing to tell. There was a threat but it's not there anymore. I took Lana with me because I knew that it was the only way to help me get across to him. I knocked three times before he finally answered. “Mum, I know it's you. I don't want to speak to you.”Well, I didn't expect him to want to speak to me. But I needed to explain things. He wants my adopted son. Milo was my son. He had been Adrian's son first because Adrian dedicated his life to taking care of him. I can't count how many times Adrian and I fought because of Milo. Adrian valued Milo a lot and he would never let anything happen to him. “Dad, is that you?”I also knew that Milo feared Adr
KAYAI thought this was the calm. I didn't think that there would be any storm since we just came out of a few but boy, was I wrong?That morning, I'd woken up late because I'd fallen asleep late. Adrian and I had fallen asleep late because his little princess had sworn not to sleep..“You’re indulging her. Maybe if you stopped paying attention to her, she would sleep.”But did he listen? No. He kept paying attention to her and giving her the time she wanted while still complaining that she wasn't falling sleepy. Eventually, she was the one who fell asleep first and let him be. “Can we go to bed now since Her Highness is asleep?”He rolled his eyes and carried her over to her crib. “You’re just jealous because you want me to give you all that attention.”The things this man told himself..“Go to sleep and stop fooling yourself. Gosh, I'm so tired.”
ADRIANWhen they called for another meeting, I didn't want to attend because after the last time that they seemed to lose their mind over the whole issue, I didn't want anything to do with them. Kaya had asked that I dissolve them, seeing as they had nothing to offer me. I would have done that but I didn't have the strength to go through the stress of picking out new councilmen. There were many processes involved and I didn't have the time nor willpower to do all that. After thinking about it for a while, I decided to just show up since I didn't exactly have anything to do. I'd caught up with the sleep I'd missed for the past few days now, I was bored. So me showing up to the meeting had nothing to do with formality. It just gave me something to do. As soon as I sat down on that throne, I began feeling sleepy again. Their presence was draining.“My King, we the elders have sat down and disc
KAYARoy came the next day with another brown envelope. I may have my daughter back but I still had to find the person responsible for taking her. So basically, all my problems weren't solved. “No need to show me. I'm sure you've given through it. What does it say?”“The same thing. Latex gloves.”Great. So we were back to square one with nothing. How exactly was I going to find out who was doing this if I didn't even know who to look for? The door opened and Adrian walked in. “Don’t worry. You don't need to hide. I already know what this is all about.” How did he know? Or did Nora tell him? He read my mind. “No one told me. You dropped the envelope in Lana's room and I saw it.”Shit. Oh well, since he now knew what was going on, I guess it meant we now had more help. “I’m judging based on the look on your faces that you didn't find a
KAYAThat was enough to cause a disturbance and I let it happen. I could see the guilty ones getting offended by what I had said but that was fine. We all knew what had happened.I turned to Adrian. ”What was the last one I said?”“Misogynistic!” He shouted like a child in class who had been waiting for him to be called upon.“Yes, misogynists. Does the King holding a baby make you mad? Not just any baby, a female. She's not supposed to be anywhere near the throne right? I'm not supposed to even be here. All according to your damn laws that hold no place for women. I don't blame you. The last king was just like you..small minded.”“My Queen, don't speak like that! Mind your tongue. You are in the presence of the King.”They clearly didn't know who they were dealing with. The presence of the King. “Adrian, tell me. How do you see your father?”“Small minded, My Queen. My father, alt
KAYA I was quiet because I wanted them to say everything that they had to say. I knew it was bullshit when Selena said she didn't want anything from Adrian. Left to her, that was what she wanted. Everything. I could see that she was greedy and if we dared to give her even a little, she would ask and ask and ask for more and in the end, I would be the one to regret it because I had asked Adrian to give in to her demands. Since they were down talking, Adrian began. “Since the beginning of it all, there has been one thing that has been on my lips. The boy is not my heir. Of course, it's no fault of his that he was born but then it doesn't change the fact that I already have an heir.” “But My King, the Prince hasn't been crowned as the Crown Prince yet so technically, you don't have an heir. You can still make changes to things now that things aren't official yet.”
KAYAThe next morning, I'd forgotten about the court session so I had to be reminded by Nora later that afternoon. As soon as I woke up, I went straight to Lana's room because I needed to feed her. She had woken up three times through the night to cry. One of the times, it had been because of food and the next, it was because she wanted to be held so Adrian held her for about two hours, rocking her back to sleep while I tried to fight the sleep from my eyes. “You should sleep. You've been dozing for too long.”I opened my eyes again. “No, it's fine. I'm awake, I don't need to sleep. Is she asleep yet?”He looked down at her and smiled. “Not even a little.”Gosh, it's like a new born baby all over again. “Just sleep, I'll put her down to sleep.”I'd never been more grateful for having a partner as I was in this moment because I really needed the sleep. By the time I woke up,
KAYAMy baby had woken up. I'd been sleeping already and Adrian was in the room doing something.I'd woken up to check on him when I saw something move out of the corner of my eyes. At first, I thought I had seen wrong. “What are you doing?”Adrian looked up from his phone. “Nothing. I just can't sleep.”I pat the space behind me. “Come here.”He got up from the chair and walked over to the bed..Since Lana was still a baby, she had to stay in her cot and not on the bed so Adrian and I took the bed. He was staring at her for too long so I stood up and walked over to him. “What is it? Why're you looking at her like that?” He didn't answer and I just joined him in looking at her..then I saw it properly. Her hand moved. Adrian moved immediately. “I’ll get the doctor”.As soon as Adrian left, her eyes slowly opened
