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
ADRIANHe liked her. Milo, I mean. He was actually the one reaching out to her this time. Milo hadn't reached out to any woman since his mum left. I had actually been worried as to whether he would actually be able to heal or this would lead to him hating women. I really hoped that it wouldn't end with the arrival of Kaya, I could see that he wouldn't. He enjoyed being around her and he was always in her room. If I couldn't find him in his room, all I needed to do was go to hers and see him laughing and smiling with her. I felt more at peace now that I knew he was with someone responsible. It sort of turned into our routine now. At the end of the day, we'd all meet up in her room to talk about our day, laugh and play. I mean, I never knew that he could laugh this loud. It felt good to face someone to speak to, someone that wasn't Milo and Nora. She listened intently when I spoke and it made me feel like I was being heard. I enjoyed being around her. Milo, his wife and I.He fin
KAYA“That's her secretary. Why would Sandy fail to mention that she called Lucy on the day she died?” Or did she have something to hide too? Nora chimed in. “I don't think she forgot. Sandy remembers details. I think she intentionally left that part out.”But if it didn't mean anything, why would she leave that part out? “Is there any record of the conversation?” He turned the laptop screen to me. “I couldn't find anything. It's like she called and ended the call immediately. It was barely a second.” Was that intentional or was it a mistake? “What time did her call come in?” He turned the screen back to himself. “Eleven thirty.” I was trying to create a timeline but the evidence wasn't enough. “I think I need to speak to her again. Nora, can you get her on the phone for me? Don't alert her about anything. Just tell her that we urgently need her for something and that we will send a guard to pick her up.” It was actually quite late and I didn't know if the commissioner w
KAYA“For now, we just need to focus on finding hard evidence that truly puts her there or else, our theory is out the window.” Nora stood at the board, spending a long time staring at it. I sat down behind her and thought too.Milo brought in Lana and I just put her on the floor to do her own thing. She didn't seem to care that I didn't have her time. “Oh yeah mum, there's a man here to see you. I don't know what his name is.” Must be Tobias. “Can you bring him here? Thanks baby.” How did the detective find the phone so quickly? I thought they claimed that they couldn't find it at the crime scene. How come it turned just a while after I had asked him.to look for it? That meant that if he wanted to look for it, he would have easily found it. The door opened and Milo came back with Tobias and some of the other men I'd seen earlier today at the fire scene. “Good evening, My Queen. Good day, Beta. This is my deputy and this is the Head of crimes. Just as you've asked, I've come
KAYA“Why were you calling me? What happened?” This was the first time in almost two weeks that I was this close to him. This was also the first time in two weeks that I was smelling my husband's cologne again. “I thought you were dead. I got called today and I thought the accident was you. Turns out you were too busy having fun to even pick my calls.” He looked like he was done with my bullshit and technically, I didn't care. “Why do you keep saying this? I just told you that I misplaced my phone. What more do you want from me? I apologized for not coming to the station quickly. But how was I supposed to know? I didn't have my phone.”Was that the excuse he was going for? When I turned around to face him, he knew he had said something stupid. “You don't need a damn phone call to know when your wife is not in the house. Usually, you can feel her absence and when she's not in bed next to you, you get your ass up and go look for her. I guess I can only count on Nora to save me.”I
KAYAWhen I got tired of hearing Nora give the man hell, I got up. “Nora, it's okay. He has already apologized. Detective, if it's not my husband in the car, please who is it?”We looked down the hill at the car. The firefighters had just successfully put out the fire and they were trying to raise the car unto the pavement. “It's Alisha's car.” That was another shock and I couldn't help the way I reacted. “What did you say?”That's when I looked back at the car and it finally looked familiar. I had seen it in the driveway when I went to her house. “W-what happened?”“As for now, we have no idea. We can't exactly say what happened to her but we will know more when we investigate.”We had to give them space as they dropped the car on the pavement. Before long, a car pulled up and Tobias and some other men joined us. “My Queen, good day. I just got word that you came here.” Being here meant that it was truly important. I wanted them to treat it as such because now, we didn't have
KAYA That meant that Tim didn't know that Lucy was trying for a kid again. “I’ll come see you later, Tim. Just hang in there. You'll be out in a bit okay?”“That’s not what matters to me, Luna. I just want you to find who killed my wife. That's the only time I'll truly be at peace. If I get out without knowing what happened to Lucy, my life would never be the same.”I could understand his point. “And I'll do everything in my power to make sure that I find who did this. And I'll make them pay. I'll see you later.”I left him and went back upstairs. “I was about to come down to meet you. I've put people out to look for her. We should get news before the end of tomorrow.” I didn't see Lana in her arms so I figured that someone else had her or she had fallen asleep. I had been focusing on the wrong person so much that she had time to run away and we had no idea. But then, there was no way that I could have caught onto her trickery. If I hadn't gone to the house and decided to cal
KAYAHe nodded. “When she eventually told Lucy and Lucy told me, it happened to fall on a date when I was in the hospital for the injury on my leg. There was no way I would have been out because I was in surgery and I didn't wake up until three weeks later. When Lucy realised, she apologized to me and came back home. I forgave her. I didn't blame her one bit.“Alisha is manipulative. When she noticed that things were good again, she came for me. Lucy had to travel for some work. One night, I came back and found her in my home in nothing but lingerie. She climbed in through the window. I didn't even want to hear what she had to say before I asked her to get out. She cried and begged, saying that I wasn't being fair with her and that it wasn't fair that Lucy had to get everything she'd ever wanted. She said that Lucy didn't have to know what was going on between us and that we could keep it a secret.“The fact that she had lied against me before just made me even more angry and since s
KAYA She stayed on the phone for quite a while, while I asked the maid to get me something to eat. Maybe because I had rushed my food, I didn't feel like I'd eaten anything. She got off the phone before I could get my food. ”What’s going on? What did he say?”I could see the disappointed look on her face.“He says the house is empty. It's like no one ever lived there. She packed up everything and left.” What? Packed up and left? “Why would she do that? How the hell didn't he see that she was leaving?” ”He said she must have done it in the dead of night. I don't know. I'll only run when I have something to hide.” Did Alisha run? Or was she forced into leaving? With Alisha not in the picture, that just left a lot of loose ends untied. There were a lot of questions to ask her and now that she was MIA, there was no one to ask them. “I need to see Tim. I'll be right back.” Since I couldn't get to Alisha, I might as well speak to someone who might have known her. I need to know
KAYANora helped me grab the first aid box and as soon as I put the soaked cotton wool to her skin, she turned around and looked at me like I had betrayed her. “I’m sorry, I'm sorry. I'll soon be done.” I threw that one out and went in another time with another soaked cotton wool. She didn't flinch for that one. “Well, that means I can't put on another diaper for her.”I just put a bandage over the wound and put on another diaper. “Who helped her get dressed today?”“I don't know, I'm guessing it's a maid. she was already dressed by the time. I went to pick her up.”Since I wasn't exactly having anything to do outside the house, I'm guessing I would be spending a lot of time inside. Sandy and Alisha were coming over. “I’ll be at home today so I'll take care of her. Are you going out?” She shrugged. “I don't know yet. Adrian might want me to do something for him today.” Adrian…“Okay then. Please call Sandy and Alisha to check again if they're still coming. I don't want to spen
KAYAI slept in my room alone again today.Right now, I wasn't fighting with Adrian but I didn't want to be in the same room as him. Because no matter how much I tried to avoid it, we would most definitely fight.And right now, I didn't have the strength or will power to get into a fight with him. He however, didn't understand what I was trying to do.He wanted to fight. And I didn't.So he came to my room that night to look for me.I didn't even know it was him. I thought it was Milo who had come to tell me that Lana had fallen asleep. I had to leave her with him because I was falling asleep and since she still had so much energy in her, he took her.“Come in!” I simply shouted without even turning aroud.When I heard the door opend and shut, I close
