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“Where are you going?” I turned around in bed and looked at Adrian whose heavy feet had been moving around the room like a monster and had woken me up.He turned around with a smile as I sat up on the bed and approached me. This man got handsome every day. He leaned down on the bed and kissed me for a couple of lp seconds before moving away.“Hello beautiful. How did you sleep?”“Well besides your snoring, it would have gone well. “I pulled the covers back and approached him as he laughed.“I don't snore. I must just have been very tired.”I stood in front of him and helped him dress up.“Of course, you turned in late last night. What was that all about?”He sighed.“The Elders want me to make diplomatic relations with the wolves. For some reason, they think it’s the best way to help the kingdom grow.”I’m sure they will have their reason why they want him to do so.“So, is that where you’re going? To make peace?” I made a little dance at the end because I could see that he was
KAYA“It slipped my mind.”I turned around to face him, letting go of Lorain first before I said anything.“What did you say?”He sighed and looked out of the window.“Kaya, I had a lot to do and-”“The name is Kaya and it's Luna to you. Keep talking.”“I was saying that I had a whole lot to do. I'm saddled with a lot of responsibilities and this one just has skipped my mind. I would have told the Alpha about it a long time ago.”“But you didn't. Girls are dying, Shawn. They're just kids! It's been going on for months. When was the first time they came to you?”He looked away, his eyes wandering around the ceiling.“I don't know. A couple of months ago or maybe the beginning of the year.”Why was he acting like he couldn't care less about what was going on?“What did they tell you?”He shrugged carelessly.“Just that a few kids were missing from the village and that they were teenagers. I told them that they probably went off to party with their friends or with their boyfriend. I mean
KAYA Just as she had said, she returned the next day with a group of women and men. I called her away from them. “Who are these people?” I asked.“These are the people who have been assaulted by him. There are more but some of them are too traumatized to talk and others are dead.”So he was a serial rapist. “How did no one do anything about it all this time? Everyone just turned a blind eye to what he was doing?” I guess they would argue that they were scared but the fear was supposed to motivate them to do something about it. Why couldn't they write a letter to the King or feel with it themselves? “Did he abuse the men too?”“No, these guards were the ones in charge of guarding Nancy and the room he put her in. Since she can't talk for herself, I figured someone else could do it for her.”All this was perfect. This time around, I didn't bother waiting for the sun to come up before I called for council. Hell, the moon was high in the sky and I was sure that it was just past mi
KAYA The case wasn't entirely over and soon enough, I was back in court. I still had to deal with the boys and then Damon. For Damon's case, he was an Alpha and I knew that it was going to take a whole lot more than the cries of an acquitted criminal's wife to get them to see that he did anything wrong..While that didn't matter to me because even without a statement, I could keep him in jail for as long as I wanted. But I wanted him to have the label of a rapist and sexual offender. People like him shouldn't be given second chances because they didn't think twice before ruining other people's lives. I couldn't believe someone like him had been given power..I didn't even want to begin to imagine how many women he had assaulted just because of his position. By the time I'm done with this case, he'll wish he was dead. The night before, I'd had a talk with Damien and Nancy. I wanted to give them some time to cook off before speaking to them about everything. ”I hope you know Adr
KAYA I could finally sleep well. Since the beginning of the trial, I hadn't been able to close my eyes for one minute without thinking about it. Even though I eventually fell asleep, it has to be in my mind. . That might, I spent time soaking myself in the tub and just letting the water work its magic on my knotted muscles. I was going to have to ask for a massage later because I needed to unwind. Peace of mind was so underrated. Dinner was peaceful without Nora and I talking between meals and trying to get past the amount of papers scattered on the dinner table. Most of the time, we didn't even finish eating because a brainstorm always came in the middle. If Adrian were here, he'd have been mortified and would have probably banned us from talking about it for the meantime. The next morning, the only reason why I woke up as soon as the sun was up was because I could hear Lana's crying from down the corridor as she was being carried to my room. I met the maid at the door and t
KAYAThe three day interval between the trial came very quickly and before long, I was getting up before the sun came up and entering the court just as soon as the sun was up in the sky.After today, I was going to be dealing with a lot of very angry people because despite being presented with evidence, a lot of people still won't see the true side of things.They'll always see what they want to, which is fine. If they had any issues with Damien's release, then they could take it up against me.The first thing that we'll do today is to bring the boys to give a testimony of the same thing that they had told me last week.I'd told them not to be scared because they were doing the right thing and I'll do everything I can to protect them from that man.“Chief, I recently got information that the boys want to recant thei
KAYAWhen Nora finally came back, I told her everything that happened and she just sat like that for ten minutes straight listening to me narrate everything to her and then ask questions and then answer them myself.“Nora, say something. What do you think?”“Maybe if you had let me say something during your soliloquy, I would have been able to do that.”I rolled my eyes.“But then again, this is all appalling. You mean, those kids are brothers? I would never have guessed. But with the information I've given you, we can't exactly do anything about it.”I could hear the twins running down the corridor and it interrupted anything I wanted to say.“What do you mean?”“Well, we can't exactly go over there and start
KAYA “Miller, who did this to you?” He looked down at his chest. “I don't want to talk about it.” I'll ask Kyle about it. “Can I get that necklace you're wearing?”He touched it. “No, Kyle gave it to me. He said that I must never take it off.”“That’s okay, Kyle won't know. I won't tell him. I just find it very pretty and I need to take a picture of it. I'll take care of it, I promise.” He slowly took it off and handed it to me. “Are you really going to kill me?”“Oh no honey, I won't. I just said that to get Kyle to give me what I want.”“He’s a really good brother.”They were brothers?! “Miller, is Collins your brother too?” He nodded. It made sense now why there had to be a leader in the pack and why they were all so tight knit. “Thank you for your help, Miller. I'll return these to you as soon as possible.”I told the guards not to take him back to the cells because I didn't want Kyle to see him yet. “Soak these in blood and bring them back to me. We have a show to put
KAYA While Nora was gone, I had to do something for myself. She was out there trying to gather resources and I needed to gather mine too. The only resources at my disposal right now were the ones down there in the dungeons. I'd decided not to go ahead with the executions because as much as they annoyed me by not saying anything, I needed them. Those kids were the only ones who knew who had sent them and who was the person behind the red crown. Milo wanted to come down with me but he hadn't been down here before and this wasn't the place for kids to come. Eventually, he would get the chance to come down here but not yet. I didn't think I would be coming down here any time soon but here I was. The guards led me to their different cells. I'd separated them so they won't have the chance to corroborate their stories. I didn't need them ganging up against me. The first stop was at Kyle's cell. He seemed to be the stronger one between the three of them. He was going to be the hardes
KAYAThankfully, we finished setting up the decorations last night. Everything was in place by the morning and I went with Milo and Nora to wake the twins up with the happy birthday song. I knew they were already awake because as we entered,I saw Lorian moving and Adrian giggled. After the song, they hopped off the bed and ran over to blow the candles. “Happy birthday, my little princess. I can't express how much I love you and how much joy you bring to me.”Of course, Milo has to interrupt the moment. “You're finally ten, which means I get to chase you around the house with knives and mum can't say anything about it.”I didn't understand where that was coming from. “Even when they're old and wrinkly, no one will be chasing anyone with knives. There's no age limit for that.” Of course, they had to use my own words against me. “But you said that Milo can chase us when we become ten. We're ten today, mum.”When did I say that? I don't remember saying that but with these kids, I
KAYA “What is the meaning of this symbol, Collins? What are you not telling me?”He looked like he was trying to fight with himself. “I was supposed to burn that.”It was meant to be a whisper but since the court was quiet, it was audible. “Why should you have burned it, Collins? Were we not supposed to see this?”“It was none of your business. You're going to get us killed!” Well, that's what I wanted to hear. “Not before I kill you first. Listen to me, do you think that I can ask the guards to throw a dagger at you and kill you on the spot? Do you think anything is stopping me?” Who were they working for that made them so scared to even cough? He didn't say anything. “Very well then, schedule their execution to happen tonight. If they don't want to be useful, then I'll do away with them. Get him out of my sight.”As the guards dragged him out, an unsettling question rested in my mind. Who was behind all this? The person had gone through a whole lot just to set things in m
