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
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
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“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
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
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
KAYA It was the middle of May. Milo had come back home to spend some time with us. After his coronation, he had left the pack to spend time living as a normal person so that he would understand what it means to live among the people. Adrian didn't like it because he felt like Milo could be learning about the kingdom rather than doing all that but the boy's mind had been set. I could understand where they were both coming from but since it was what he wanted, I couldn't stop him and neither could his father. The only condition Adrian gave him was that he would stay with Roy. If he stayed with Roy, then his heart would be more at peace knowing that he was with someone he trusted. Roy loved the idea of Milo being over and so since the beginning of the year, he had been there. When I told him it was his father's birthday, he knew he had to come back. This time around, we didn't want a big celebration. Although since it was an official holiday, the entire kingdom knew and the
KAYA There was finally time for Milo's coronation. We had been putting it off for so long but now, we were going to make it happen. It had taken me a week to make all preparations because I wanted this to be perfect. I'd sent out the invitations earlier to everyone and made sure everything down to the last detail was ready. Milo was very excited about this and I could see how much this meant to him. He and Adrian had been spending the week together because Adrian said it was part of his hazing ceremony to welcome him into the circle of Kings. Unlike the forest his father had left him in for a week to find for himself, he wanted to do things that he hadn't done with Milo before like fishing and hunting. The party was tonight and I just got a call from the tailor that there had been some issues with the clothes. Milo's clothes to be exact. I didn't want to lose it because I knew I had to find a solution one way or another and I had to find it fast. I hurried over to the
KAYATWO MONTHS LATERMaybe I was the one who was mad. Maybe I was losing it. As soon as the maid told me I ran out of my room and went downstairs. The madness in this house had to stop. I had endured tol much from that bitch and maybe she thought that since I was quiet, I was stupid but not again. The kitchen door was locked just as I thought it would be. “Selena! You stupid bitch! Open the door!” I could hear her moving around inside and she laughed. “Oh, I see they came to report to you again. As I told them, I'll be cooking Adrian's food today. I mean, after all. I'm basically just a second wife.”Second wife?! In what universe?! The maids said that before they woke up, she had locked herself in the kitchen and they couldn't even make breakfast for the twins to take to school. “Are you nuts? This is my house and my kitchen! Open the damn door!” “Why don't you kick it o
KAYA When we got to the grave site, we were amazed because it wasn't your normal six feet. “She was claustrophobic. I don't think it'd be fair to give her a tight grave.” We could understand that and we stayed there with him when he said things to her and told her how much he loved her and missed her. It rained earlier that day so maybe that just made the whole thing gloomier. We went back to the house with the guests. The food has been ready since last night and we just stood in a corner while Roy attended to his guests. The kids had to stay upstairs because we didn't want thtme to be down here. It was only Roy's son that was down here. “Thank you so much for coming, everyone. I really appreciate you for being here. My wife would have been so happy to know that there were many people who actes about her. Its just said that it's only at her death that we had this crowd. I don't really have much to say but I l
KAYAWe couldn't stay with Roy even though we wanted to. Adrian was the King, there was no way that he would not sleep in the house. Well, at least that's what Roy had been trying to tell him for the past hour but it was like everything he said went over his ears. He didn't want to hear any of it. “Roy, this is not just a condolence visit. It's a friendly visit. You've been my friend for years and you don't expect me to go home when you need me. I need to stay here with you.” Roy looked drained. I didn't like that Adrian was arguing with him but then again, Adrian wasn't going to stop until he got what he wanted. He turned to me for help and all I could do was just stare at him. “Kay, please say something.”I didn't want to tell him not to worry because there was nothing that he was going to say that would make Adrian change his mind but I didn't say that. I also know that it was a technique to take Roy's mind
KAYAThe morning came with bad news. I was still in bed when Lorian came to wake me up that Adrian and Nora were going out. At first, I didn't understand what he was talking about because I was so sleepy. Adrian had kept me up late last night talking and talking and making sure that I had forgiven him. I picked up my robe and ran out of the room because he was dragging me out. Luckily, I got outside before the car drove off. “Adrian, what's going on? Is everything okay?”He turned around to look at me. “Roys wife is dead. We just got a call now. We're going there to see him. I didn't want to wake you up.”The words couldn't form in my mouth. I just stayed there and stared at him. Roy's wife is dead. “Go, I'll meet up with you later.”As the car drove off, I just watched it go. In the end, the cancer had won. Gosh, I couldn't imagine what he would be going through right now.
ADRIANIt was like she had developed some kind of power because with the way she was walking, I found it so hard to catch up with her. Even when I tried to hold her hand, she wouldn't let me. “Kay, please wait. Let me speak to you.”If I couldn't hold her hand, I would have to hold her legs because I could let her use anger to ruin this. “What’s the whole point of talking? Do you know how long we've been talking for? There's no use. There's only action now.”Thankfully, Nora appeared since we had passed her room and she had heard the noise. “What is going on?”I had to tell her through a mind link since I couldn't risk anyone else hearing what I had said. The walls had ears. “I knew something was up with the way they just appeared out of nowhere. Where did you get a gun?”I wondered when she had seen a gun in my hand and then I realized that she was speaking to Kaya. I slowly grabbed
ADRIAN I knew that I was the last person that she wanted to see but I still had to go see her. Now that things were finally over, it was the right time to see her. Normally, I should have waited until she got enough sleep so that she won't feel irritated when i woke her up. Her being irritated would just make things harder for us to talk out. But I was already at her door and I couldn't go back. Wait, why couldn't I go back? She doesn't know I'm here yet. Yes, I should let her sleep and then come back in the morning when she's well rested. As I turned my back to leave, I heard footsteps and then the door opened. We ended up looking at each other for a while before I came closer to the door. “Hey, I thought you'd be asleep and I didn't want to wake you up.”She looked at me with her eye half open. “No, you knew I was awake. You were scared. Come in.” Of course, she knew. I stepped int
KAYA “You were the one who packed up and left our three day old child in the hospital! You left me for over sixteen years and you think that I won't move on? I shouldn't even be looking for you to begin with but I didn't so that out son will have closure and you blame me for loving a woman who had a very good heart and cared for me?” The whole thing was conflicting because to an extent, I could understand what Alisha has gone through and how that shaped her life but what I couldn't understand was how Lucy got caught in her crazy web. “It doesn't matter if I left. You can't fall in love with my best friend or the woman I've loved for years! Its not fair. On top of all that, you only used me for sex. I hated all of you. I hated you and I hated Tim. But I couldn't hate Lucy. She was just the victim in all of this. I was sure that if she could understand that I truly loved her, then we would be together. She was the only one who only ever understood me. She knew my story, she knew abou
