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
Kaya For the first time in a very long time, I didn't wake up alone in bed. My head rested on a hard surface, not too hard that it hurt but hard and warm and it rose and fell in sync with someone's breathing pattern. What exactly had happened last night? And why was the Alpha in my bed? In this position with me? I raised the sheets to see that we were still fully clothed, thankfully. Then I remembered the kiss. “Oh you have got to be kidding me!” I whispered to myself, glancing up for a moment to see if he was still sleeping. As I tried to wiggle my way out of his arms that checked my neck, I felt something poke my back. I thought it was a mistake so I pressed up against him again and felt it. Oh dear, that wasn't good. How come his arm was so heavy and it was so hard for me to carry while I wanted to run away? I was also trying so hard not to wake him up because I didn't want to disturb him. I really needed to get to practice. The more I moved, the more I brushed up against
THIRD PERSON POVMilo looked around him and wondered what was going on.They hadn't been told anything but the guards had come around the day before to round them up and take them outside.That was the first time some of them were seeing sunlight in months and he felt bad for them. He had been seeing it since he basically dined with the king every night.Even though he kept asking where they were being taken to, there was no answer given and batch by batch, they were taken out of the room.Unlike last time, he was blindfolded and transported away from the pack. They drove a while in the carriage and then they stopped at a small pack at the edge of the Bouncy Jackson.Milo had learnt that it was named that because if you dropped anything mistakenly into it, the Jackson would throw it back up. Fools who threw themselves into it were never seen again.They took them to a house and put them there, guarding the door just like back in the palace.Thankfully, Daphne was by his side.“What do
KAYAGetting in didn't prove like much of a hassle to me and before long, I was in and walking around the palace.The next step was to find out where the bastard was so I could kill him once and for all. Golden Blade didn't seem so bad now that I thought about it. I mean, the kingdom looked pretty up to date and it looks to be in very good shape.I don't know what I was expecting but it is not a standard place.A few guards walked last and I brushed to the side and hid.“Where do you think the king ran away to?”“I don't know. We got information that he was in danger and that we had to evacuate him.”You have got to be kidding me. Jackson ran away?! How on earth did he even know that I was coming? The sun was rising in the sky already and Adrian might be on his way with the other soldiers already.This didn't seem right. I mean, I only just got here so who could have been able to deliver a message that fast and who was working for Jackson? Who in my kingdom was giving him information?
KAYALet's just say being the Queen has spoiled me.I wasn't used to walking in the thick bushes and I can't count the amount of times I tripped over a branch or my own two feet. My own shadow scared me.I should have taken guards with me, Adrian told me to but my mind was too fixed on just leaving.Now, I wanted to pee badly and there was no way I was going to do it in these bushes..“How’s it going out there? Don't you wish you had waited for me now?”I had to turn around and make sure that he was not behind me.“No, I do not. It's going very well. It's almost like I was born with the trees. You can call me Mother Nature.”He burst out laughing, knowing I was bullshitting him.“I trust you'll be fine. I fired Shawn.”I had to stop walking and process what he said.“Did you just say you fired Shawn? Why? I mean, I like that but why? I thought you couldn't see anything wrong in him.”He sighed.“I lied. I knew what he was doing, I knew why you didn't like him. I just wanted you to de
ADRIAN“Alpha, what's so urgent that you couldn't wait till morning? What has happened by this time of the night?”“Gentlemen, we are going to war.”That word alone had its weight and as I said that, no one said anything else.“You do not know this but a few weeks ago, on my way to Golden Blade, my son was kidnapped.”Gasps filled the room and I let it sink in.“We were attacked and my son was taken away. The Queen then brought it to my attention that every month since the beginning of the year, kids were taken away from this pack with no trace. No one knows how they were taken and there were no witnesses to tell the story.”Now that I said it out loud, it didn't make sense to me. Kids from my kingdom were being carried away and I had no idea about it. What kind of king did that make me?“We’ve been trying to look for sources to tell us anything and tonight, a letter arrived for the Queen. It was from her former lover and he has confessed to taking the kids. I know him personally and
KAYA“My Queen,It's been so many years since I saw you or heard your sweet voice. You walking out of my life all those years ago, left a big hole in my heart that couldn't be filled with any other woman's love.You were my first love and you'll always remain my first love. I can't deny the fact that I let the years go by without reaching out to you but I was too busy becoming a man, making myself worry of seeing you.And now, I'm proud to say that I have made something of myself. I've turned myself into someone you would be proud of, someone you can call a husband. Everything you possibly want, I have it.All you have to do is just say yes. Let's leave the past behind us, the past never does anyone any good. The mistake I made with Serena was stupid and I agree but you shouldn't have given up on us just like that. You should have continued to show me how much you love me and maybe I would have come back to you.Notwithstanding, I'm ready now. I'm ready to love you and love all of you
KAYA“So you're telling me Golden Blade took him and other kids?”We were all having dinner and Nora sat across from me.“Yeah, I've been doing what I can to find out who Golden Blade's Alpha is but for some reason, it's seeming like some top secret. Almost no one knows.”And that's why I'll keep saying that it seems fishy. Because there's no kingdom that would hide their king.“I’ll do what I can as well.”I couldn't stop looking at Nora . When she left all those years ago, after Aaron left, I didn't think things would be the same.“Do you have to go?” I asked her as I watched her pack.looked at me.“Yes, I do. I've been by Adrian's side for years and he's giving me my freedom. I'd like to move around for a while, see places and things, maybe even live with humans, find love but I'll be back.”I knew I couldn't stop her but I wish I could. But now she is back. The years had done her, she looked more mature, like she had seen a lot in life.“Adrian , how have things been?”Since s
KAYA“Adrian, wait. You have to listen to me. You can't just do things without thinking far ahead.”He turned to me so sharply that I almost bumped into him.“What else is there to think about, Kaya? That bastard took my son and other kids and you think I'm just going to sit back and do nothing?!”“That is exactly the reason why you should not be rash. He has the upper hand here and I fear he would not hesitate to use it if he's pushed. I'm very sure he knows who Milo is and do you think if you attack him, he won't use him as leverage? You're putting Milo at risk so please, be careful and think about it.”He finally let out a breath and sat on the bed.“I don't even know who the Alpha is. Golden Blade has never shown their Alpha. Their Beta is always the one who attends meetings and all that.”That didn't make sense.“And you didn't find it weird after all this time? It didn't occur to you that there might be something more to it?”He shrugged.“I have a kingdom to rule. I don't spend
THIRD PERSON POVMilo knew the gravity of what he had done and luckily for him, none of the other kids had been stupid enough to bend to the pressure.Ever since the guards realized that the girl was missing, they were questioning everyone one after the other and Milo feared that sooner or later, somebody would fold but so far,no one said anything.He just had to do what he did. He needed to send a message to his father to let him know that he was fine and also to his mother, who he knew would be very worried. He knew the situation at home would be very otense with his father looking for him.Even though the situation here was harsh for him to adapt to, he tried his best in doing so and with the help of the friend that he made, Daphne, he navigated being in this place.“Do you think the girl made it home?” Daphne asked.“I hope she did. Right now, she's the only hope we have in other people finding out where we are. “He knew it wouldn't take them for his father to realize what he wa
KAYAFrom the way she was talking, I was afraid to ask for the number of kids that were there but I had to.“How many kids were there? Do you know?”She nodded.“At the time I got there, there were thirty kids. By the time I left, there were seventy five.”How in the world did that amount of kids go missing and Adrian and I heard nothing about it?“Seventy five.”That was a large number. Too large.“And all the kids are from this pack. We talk to each other so we asked around when the guards left the room at night. Every month, they bring a new batch of kids but a week ago, they brought in only one boy.”My ears perked up at that.“What did he look like?”I could see that she waa trying hard to remember.“Dark hair, dark eyes. Around my age. He doesn't really speak but he often speaks to the guards on our behalf. He's the only one who has ever spoken to the master.”“The master? Who's that?”She looked at her mother before she answered.“He doesn't really come in. I've only heard his
