KAYA By the time my eyes jolted awake, the sun was already very high in the sky and I jumped up from the bed, putting on my clothes in a hurry. I was surely done for this time. Serena was asking to have my head on a platter since her plan to kill me last time didn't work. And my father was going to be there for the whole show. I tripped over my own feet and fell face first into the rug. My room didn't have a rug… so where was this coming from? I raised my head and looked around me, realizing where I was. “I’m so stupid.”Serena and all of her bullshit were miles away, rotting away in that damned pack. I didn't have to be scared of them anymore because they couldn't hurt me here even if they tried. Sighing in relief, I got up from the floor and walked into the shower. I was still deciding whether the bathroom, the closet or the bed was my favorite part of this room. My bathroom had everything a girl could ever wish for. All the toiletries, it was decorated so beautifully and it
Kaya I watched others spar before us and I had to say. Most of these girls didn't look as strong as they were. The way they easily threw each other on the ground made me wonder if the women were like this, how would the men be? It finally got to my turn with Naya. Her eyes were on me like a hunter waiting to kill a prey. She looked confident that she would crush me just like that girl said. “You would regret embarrassing me this morning.”I wasn't even the one who had said anything to her. I had simply wanted to introduce myself and she took the opportunity to introduce me as a wet dog to everyone. Why didn't she take her anger out on Allister? Nora was right. I was no longer in Red Moon where I had to ensure every treatment. Now, I had to fight for myself or else, I would be treated like trash. Whether she was the former Beta's sister or the Beta himself, I had to stand up for myself. I know I had made an enemy and there was only one way to fight an enemy. “I did nothing to
Kaya I guess there were perks to being Alpha. Like being able to stop your wolf from gravely injuring another at the nick of time. As Naya lunged at me, I fell back, not having anywhere to run to so I ended up folding up and using my hands to cover my face. My hands and legs could take the hit but if my face got scratched, the scar may remain forever. I waited for it to come, praying that the scratch wouldn't be too deep so that I'd just walk it off. I was even lost in my thoughts that I didn't realize that I was waiting for Naya to scratch me. By the time I opened my eyes, I was looking in between two long legs. I wondered what was going on. “What do you think you're doing?!” Adrian shouted through the gym.The gym had fallen quiet and the stupid murmur and laughing had died down, leaving an awkward silence. “Alpha, we're fighting. She pushed me too hard and I lost control.” I pushed her too hard? More like she lost it because she's a coward and a psycho. “You should have k
ADRIAN “Hey, little man. What do you need?” I picked him from the floor, bringing him up to eye level. He looked around for a moment, obviously looking for what to use to tell me what he wanted. He hadn't fully learnt sign language so it was still hard for him to communicate with it. He kicked the air, indicating a ball. “You want a ball?”He shook his head then touched my chest, touched his then kicked the air again. “You want us to play ball?"He nodded, happy that I finally understood him. Damn, I'd forgotten it was the weekend already. That was the time I got to spend with Milo. ”I’m so sorry I forgot about you. I had so much work.”He frowned a bit and rubbed my nose, something he always did when he wasn't happy with me. “I apologized.” I tickled him, making him laugh. I'd forgotten that there was someone in the room until I saw movement out of the corner of my eye. Kaya had a wide smile on her face but it wasn't directed at me. Her eyes were focused on Milo. I felt ve
KAYA Milo was such a delight to have around and I couldn't help the way I smiled when I was around him. We decided to play in the living room since it looked like it was going to rain. I didn't even know that the day had gotten away from us until Adrian spoke up. “Okay guys, it's bedtime.”Had he been standing there all along? I watched Milo’s face fall at his father's command and I picked him up.“Let’s go tuck you into bed.”We went upstairs and he ran to the bathroom, quickly brushing his teeth. He looked so much like Adrian. When he came out, he shined his teeth at me. “They’re so white, I'm about to go blind. Let's get to bed."He jumped into bed and I sat beside him, patting him gently and before long, his eyes closed and his chest rose and fell in a rhythm. “Goodnight love." I kissed him on the head and was about to stand up when I felt something scratch my hand under his pillow.He had probably forgotten a toy under there. I poked my hand around to feel for the sharp ed
KAYAWhy did I have to open my big mouth and talk about her? I wanted to confirm that she was just as forbidden as Belle said she was. Well, with the very deep scowl on Adrian's face, I was sure of it. ”I’m sorry-”“He’s not my son."“Sorry?”He relaxed his shoulders. “Milo is Asher’s son. When Asher died, Milo couldn't bear it so he fell ill and his mother left because she didn't want to have to take care of him. So I had to take him in. I couldn't send him away. Asher was my brother.”I could hear the pain in his voice and it broke me. He really wasn't the man I thought he was. He took me in, then he took Naya in because she was Asher’s sister and now, Milo. Adrian had basically claimed responsibility for him for the rest of his life. I was sure he and Asher were the best of friends because for Adrian to do this for him, there had to be a deep bond. “You must have really loved Asher.”He laughed, but it was painful. “A part of me died the day he died. No one can ever replace
ADRIANI didn't think that she'd actually let me kiss her and I was scared that I was making a move that would ruin things. But she didn't say anything. Her body responded to my touch the way I wanted it to. I could feel Asher’s happiness as I touched her, her soft skin. She smelt so good, I couldn't pin the smell. I had to touch her to get a better feel of what she was like. Asher needed an idea of what she was like since he didn't know what her wolf looked like so I decided to explore with my hands. I had barely gotten anywhere when Nora ruined things. Why did she have to come at this point? Couldn't she have just waited? I could see that stupid smile on her face, happy that she had caught me in a very compromising situation but oh well, I wasn't ashamed of it. She was my mate after all. I could see that Kaya was flustered, obviously from the fact that Nora had caught us or was it from the kiss? ”Well, I guess waiting isn't in the list anymore.” She mocked me. “You should b
LUCIAN“What do you mean you're feeling her? You- you can feel her wolf?” Since I couldn't sleep, I was having a conversation with Asher while trying to distract myself from that growing pain between my legs. It was a damn kiss so why was this happening to me? This was all my fault. It had been a very long time since I got close to any woman and Asher was already on the edge about meeting our mate so it made a lot of things very tense. I was thinking about a while to distract myself from her, to make myself not think about the million different ways that I wanted to lay her across this bed because I said I wanted to get to know her. Yes, I want to get to know her first before doing anything with her. Well, I'd kissed her which had defeated that purpose but I wanted to know her first. ”How else do you want me to mean it? I mean, I can feel her. She's finally active.”That was a good thing right? It meant that she wasn't weird and it would make this whole thing faster.“That’s goo
KAYAAs I hit the floor, the pain shit through my entire body like electricity and I was paralyzed for a moment before I felt someone rush to my side and pull me close. “Stay close, Kaya. We're going to get you help.”It hurt a lot and I just lay there while she put pressure on the wound. I could hear the shouts of people as they scurried to safety. “Leave me alone and take the kids inside. Get the people home safe and find who did this.” Milo appeared by himself as well. “Get your brothers and your sisters inside and lock yourself in my room. Go now!”I was getting weaker and weaker and I could barely move my body anymore. “Kaya, I won't leave you. Let's get you inside.”She lifted me on her shoulder and took me in and her voice started fading out but I could still hear that she was speaking to some people. “The doctor is on his way, Kaya. You'll be fine. Just stay with me. No, don't close your eyes. Stay with me, Kaya.”I fought so hard to keep my eyes open but the more I tri
KAYA It was the beating of the drums that woke me up that morning. Normally, the first day of the celebration often entailed the pack gathering at the house so Adrian delivered his speech. Normally, I just stood there, looking pretty by his side while he spoke..he often asked me if I had anything to say but I always declined. This time around, I was being fitted for a dress I had now become too big for. I hadn't lost all the weight I'd gained during my pregnancy so this dress that I'd had fitted last months ago was now so small for me. “My Queen, I don't think it'll fit. The corset…it's too tight.”I was barely breathing and this was going to be so uncomfortable because I was going to be out for the entire day in this. “What can I do? It's not like I can have the dressmaker make another dress in five minutes. Most of my clothes don't even fit anymore.”Gosh, how could I not have thought about this all this while? What was I going to do? It was tradition to get new clothes ever
KAYAI should have known that my decision to keep Storm pack was going to come back and bite me in the ass. As the Elders had said, Alphas who were not happy with my decision came to me and laid their complaints. Just as I'd been told, they were five. Including Alpha Damon. No wonder he was being a bitch when I asked that the matter be postponed that day. “My Queen, you can't do this. The Alpha would never do something like this. This matter was being debated before his unfortunate accident. And I'm very sure he would have given it to me.”The other Alphas almost had his neck for saying that. I, however, was unfazed. “What Alpha Rave was trying to say, I believe, is that the Alpha would have given the place to one of us. He would keep it for himself.”Saying nothing, I let them rant and rant until I was tired of hearing their whining. “Are you done or you still have more to say?”They looked at each other like they couldn't believe my response. “Take a look around. You might as
KAYA Being Alpha was hard. I was supposed to have a meeting at 7am this morning. When Nora presented it to me the night before, that was the first thing my eyes landed on. “What outrageousness is this? Why do I have a meeting this early? What do they want to say that can't stay till later in the day?”She shrugged. “I have no idea. They just said they needed to see you.”“And who fixed the time?”“They did. I fixed it for later but they asked for it earlier.”This was outrageous. What do they want to say that they couldn't wait until later? Anyways, if I didn't show up at that time, they would wait. And I didn't actually show up at that time. I slept in. It wasn't until later that day when Milo walked in and shouted my name. “What?! What's going on?!”“The elders have been waiting for you all day!”My brain was still processing what the hell I was hearing. I had to look outside the window to fully understand what was going on. Shit! “Why didn't anyone wake me up?! What time
KAYA I was in Adrian 's office, trying to gather my thoughts. Today was meant to be a holiday for me because I wanted to spend time with my kids and also, I needed to make sure that Martine's kids were doing okay. I'd already asked Nora to help move all my meetings to tomorrow. The twins were especially happy with this because it was their birthday soon. I'd felt disconnected from the kids in the past few months. They'd been asking questions about their father repeatedly and I was running out of things to tell them. I wouldn't tell them lies per say but it was just the twisted truth. Lana was already down for her afternoon nap after the doctor left. Thankfully, her fever was coming down and she was showing signs of recovery. Her health had given me reasons for concern in the past months. But luckily, the doctor said it was just a new born thing. I was seeing him out of the house when he turned to me..“My Queen, remember how I told you that we had a hard time finding the Kin
KAYABy the time the day was over, I was fagged out. I was sleepy, hungry and overwhelmed. I'd had to ask one of the maids to put Lana to sleep. She had a fever and while I was trying to breastfeed her, Nora called and said that we had a meeting to attend. I almost cursed her out before I remembered that it wasn't her fault. Maybe if Adrian was awake, I won't have to be doing this. My feet were hurting and I'm very sure they were swollen. “What do we have to do tomorrow? I'm thinking of not showing up.”Nora laughed..“If Adrian felt this way about things, we wouldn't have had a king for a very long time.” “Adrian has patience to deal with those old men. I don't.”The werewolf kingdom was dominated by men in high ranking positions. Which meant that they were often uncomfortable when they had to deal with a woman in a position that matched theirs. I'd had to smoothen it out with a particular Alpha yesterday who felt my words weren't valid because he didn't know who I was. “All
KAYA It had been six months since the incident. Six months since I'd last seen and held my husband in my arms. I remembered that day like it was yesterday. Having to watch my husband's blood decorate the floor like paint while I could only cry and scream.I'd never felt so many emotions all at once.“Adrian, stay with me. You cant leave me, not now. Please. The doctor will soon be here.”I knew that wasn't true but at that point, I couldn't bring myself to believe anything else. “I didn't mean to do that. That was a mistake. He moved too quickly.”Adrian held my hand, seeing that I was going to go after him. Don't.”. His voice was a whisper “I don't have time. Take care of the kids. Tell them I'm sorry for not coming back and tell Lana- tell my daughter that I loved her and I always will.”His hand that was grasping mine went limp and his eyes that were once trained on me lost focus. The tears suddenly dried from my eyes and the pain in my heart disappeared. I brought his head
KAYA I saw him. Mark. I saw him standing over her with a knife in his hand and I screamed but he wouldn't stop plunging the knife into her. I ran to stop him and that's when I realized that I had been chained to the wall. He cackled loudly, disturbing my ears and tears blinded my vision. “You will suffer. I will kill all your children, Luna. And you will stand by and watch.” To the side, I saw Milo and the twins also being held by men and I couldn't do anything. All I could do was beg. Cry and beg. “You can't do anything to save them, Luna. You can't. So give it up and give me what I want.”My body was getting weak from trying to get out of these chains. But my daughter was with him and I needed to see her. “I don't know what you want. Tell me and I'll give you.”I noticed that the chains were falling off the wall.With one strong pull, I should be able to get them off. And that's what I did. I used yeh chains to hit him across the face, causing him to fall to the ground
ADRIAN It was taking too long for them to bring him to me so I went out myself. “What the hell is the hold up? Why can't you find him?”“I have no idea, Adrian. I don't know. He was just here right now.”This was insane. Did that mean I couldn't trust any of my men anymore? Why were they dead if he had put them in the cells himself? “The men said they last saw him a few minutes ago walking out of the cells. Of course, they didn't suspect a thing.”This was bullshit. Cold blooded murder right under my nose. The audacity! “Get men out there! None of them are to come back until they come with a solution. They should bring him back here!”She began walking away. “And Nora ! Tell Allister to bring himself back here. I need him now.”I couldn't even remember where he was because of the amount of things clouding my mind. “I'll let him know, Alpha. I'll be out in the field if you need me.”All I could do was wait until they returned. In the meantime, I remembered that he had dropped
