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 When I first approached the office, there was silence and I was about to open the door when I heard his voice. “What the hell is that supposed to mean?!” “Alpha, I have no idea. We just received word that-"“I know what you received, Allisher! I heard you loud and clear the first Hanke. What I'm saying is how the hell can he say something like that?! All because of what? His pride was hurt?!”As I said, since I'd been here, I've never seen Adrian raise his voice at anyone except Naya so I could see that he was extremely stressed. Should I just leave and come back later? I didn't want his anger to be transferred to him.. I just wanted to ask him if I could take Milo on a walk and right now that he wasn't in a good mood, he would probably repeat what happened the first time I met Milo. “Hank is really getting on my last nerves and he's going to get what's coming for him.”What were the chances that Hank was my father? “Just be calm, Alpha. It's just a rumor, we're not even s
KAYA Shifting? Like hell. He didn't know about my wolf, I couldn't possibly be shifting. Lia was still in hiding, which meant something else was the cause of this madness. My whole body began to shake and I was beginning to get scared. What was happening to me? Was I going to die?“I don't think that's what is going on. I probably ate something bad.”Hopefully, he wouldn't ask me any questions. Also, how did he know I didn't have my wolf yet? Could he sense that too? If he could, then what else did he know? “No, I'm sure of it. You're shifting, we need to get you outside.”I wanted to tell him that if I could stand up and walk outside on my own two feet, then it meant the pain went that bad. But right now, i couldn't even say a word because it was like the air was being knocked out from me. “Come in, I'll take you somewhere.”I managed to give him my hand and he pulled me up slowly, not wanting to awaken the monster that was inside me. As I was about to stand up straight, the
KAYAI'd stopped shaking by the time I woke up. I was lying naked in the field, and the sun was just coming up so it wasn't very hot but that meant I could feel every sun rays on my body directly. There was no longer fur coming out of my body which I was grateful for because that would have been the wrongest thing to experience now that I was in the right frame of mind. I needed a recap of everything that had happened last night because I didn't fully remember it. The pain and the uncomfortableness that i'd felt was something I couldn't forget hit after I spoke to Lia, I didn't know what happened after that. Lia… would she finally answer me when I called for her now? ”Lia?”Just as I'd expected, there was no response. But I felt alive in some way, everything about my senses seemed much more sharper. I could see clearer, I could smell things more and I could hear thing around me that I couldn't what normally before like the way I could smell Adrian and the way I knew that he was
ADRIANI woke up very early the next day and got ready. I needed to see Milo today at the hospital.Without even thinking about breakfast, I ran out of the house and got into my car, driving straight for the hospital.He had never had a surgery before and I wanted to ask the doctor how soon his throat could heal because I didn't want to believe that my son would never speak again.They'd told me that some years ago and he had proved them wrong by speaking to me that nightmare so this time around, I knew he was going to prove them wrong again and he was going to speak.I just didn't know when.I didn't know his room number so I stopped at the reception to ask.“Good morning, Alpha. What may I help you with?”“My son's room number. Tell me where he is.”She looked through a computer and raised her head up.“He’s in the children's section. Two floors up, room 32B.”I made my way upstairs, holding his toy train in my hand and also a picture of his mother. As much as I wanted to hate her,
KAYAFive of them stood tall in the darkness, their full length gowns blowing in the wind.I couldn't see their faces but their silhouettes were very outlined by the moon high in the sky.“W-who are you? Are you them? My father's cult?”I heard a laugh.“No, we are not that useless band of vipers. You said you didn't mind staying with witches as long as they were not “weird”, whatever that means. I don't think we are “weird” but we are witches.”What? I didn't mean that. I didn't mean I wanted to stay with witches. I was only joking. Why was my life always like this?So this was what Lia meant when she said I shouldn't be scared.If she could send these people to me, why couldn't she lead me back to Adrian's pack.Gosh, I hated myself.“So are we going to go or we're going to stand here all night.. it's going to rain very soon..”“Shall we?"That question was thrown at me. At this point,. I didn't have a choice. If I stayed out here, that meant i was fine with getting wet and not eati
KAYASo maybe I'd made a mistake.Quinn was right. These woods were scary. Very scary and I couldn't even walk without looking over my shoulder to check for what was behind me.I should have just waited for a new day before leaving but I decided to leave when the day was almost over and that was the worst.Naturally, I was afraid of the dark and now to make matters worse, I had to walk in these woods by myself.“Do you wish you had listened to her now?”I sighed in relief when I heard Lia's voice.“Took you long enough to come. I was beginning to lose it out here.”She laughed.“You’re supposed to be the special wolf. How can you be scared of darkness?"I shrugged.“I don't know. I'm just glad you're here. The least I need right now is company. Just be here and help me.”“Do you even know where you're going? You have no one other than him."I knew that but I didn't want to think about it. I hated the fact that I had nowhere to go.“You should have just let Quinn help you.”I wanted to
KAYA“Why would this happen, Nora? I mean, I didn't mean for it to happen. I would never put him in danger on purpose.”“It’s okay. I know. I know."“Then why?” I swiped the tear away from entering my mouth ”Why would this happen? I told the maids not to make it a chocolate cake but she didn't listen. I swear I told her."She used her sleeve to clean the tears away from my face.“I know, Kay. I've told him that myself. Trust me, I know you will never do that on purpose. And I tried to tell him that but right now, I don't think he would listen to what I have to say.”“Is what he said true? Will Milo never truly speak again?”She looked at me without answering and I knew the answer already.There was nothing I was going to say at this time that would make Adrian listen to me. It was obvious that he was very angry and he wasn't going to heed to anything that any one said.He said I had an hour so I stood up and cleaned my face, putting the last of the decorations into the bag.“Where are
KAYAI wanted to go after them but I couldn't.I just knew that I couldn't. Nora went after him though and I just stayed there so going what the hell I was going to do.Why would I make chocolate cake when I knew he was allergic to it?I kept thinking back to that day and wondering if I truly told Belle about it and I was sure I did. I would never try to put his life at risk.Tears rolled down my eyes and I wondered if he was going to be okay. I left the room and went to the kitchen, to look for Belle so she would tell me why in the world she would make a mistake like this when I'd told her not to.I didn't find her so I asked one of the maids.“Belle? She resigned this morning.”“Resigned? What do you mean by " resigned?"Of course, I knew what resigned meant but right now, my brain wasn't comprehending anything.“I mean, she quit.”“Wait, but why? I mean, I just saw her this morning."She shrugged.“I don't know. But I knew she was in a hurry. She didn't even finish clearing out her
ADRIANI ran all the way to the hospital, stopping on the road to make sure that he was still breathing.His face that was once red was now pale and his lips were blue.As soon as the doctor sighted us, a stretcher was brought and they took him in.I was going to go after them but a nurse stopped me.“Alpha, you need to stay here. When the doctor is done, he'll let you know.”How could I stay calm?Nora placed her arm on my shoulder.“Adrian, you need to calm down. He's going to be okay. The doctors are doing the best they can.”My son was in there and he could not breathe and they were telling me to be calm. After pacing the corridor for half an hour, I finally sat down and placed my head in my hands.What if something happened to him?What if he didn't make it?When I found out about his allergy was the day that I'd offered him a bar of chocolate and he'd almost died.That day, the doctor told me that if I hadn't brought him in earlier, he would have been dead in a couple of minutes
KAYAI'd almost forgotten about Milo's birthday. Belle was the one who had come to remind me that his birthday was the next day and I quickly started putting things together.Since I needed to get him out of the room and I couldn't find Adrian around for the life of me, I ended up sending him to Nora's room.I didn't know where Adrian had gone to and when I asked Nora about it, she just said that he had business to take care of. When I asked when she would be back, there was no reply. I hadn't laid my eyes on him since that day out at the garden when he said he wanted to speak to me.I'd gone out to look for him later that evening so we could finally talk but I didn't find him because they'd told me that he stepped out.So I sent Milo to Nora's room. He asked why he was going there and I told him that there was a big bug in his room.Surely enough that seemed to work but he said Nora had to stay with him.. so that night, Nora couldn't help me with the decorations but I got a maid to d
KAYAI couldn't believe what I'd just heard.Adrian was my mate. All this time, the man I'd been looking to fall in love with ew she man I'd actually fallen in love with.What were the odds? I just stood there and stared at him with tears in my eyes. From the way he looked at me, I was sure that he knew too.I shifted back and quickly put on my second shirt that had been worn under the first one and ran to him.“Adrian, we're mates.”I was so happy so I pulled him in for a hug, thanking the goddess for not letting me meet some psycho who probably didn't know how to treat women.I'd met Adrian who had saved me from my father and who was the reason for my joy.The man I'd been looking for all this time was right before me and I had no idea.One of my main reservations about what Adrian and I had was that I wondered what would happen when he finally found his mate.I'd wanted to speak to him about it at some point but he brushed it off, saying that it didn't matter because nothing was go
KAYA“Hey, wake up!”I didn't move at first because I was so tired, I'd spent the entire day moving around town trying to get items to decorate Milo 's room.I'd thought that his favorite color was blue so I bought everything in that color only for Nora to suddenly remember that it's not blue, it's green. So we had to go back to all of the stores and swap everything from blue to green.Then after that, I had to think of a good birthday present for him. I hadn't seen Adrian for a couple of days now and I couldn't ask him what Milo liked.And I didn't want to ask Milo either because I wanted it to be a surprise. So I just moved around, trying to pick one exact thing that would make him happy.“You look even more confused than I am and I'm the one thinking.”She looked up from the kids' items in the store.“So, you'll have to do this everyday if you want to shop for your kid? I don't think I want kids.”I looked at her.“What? They're amazing, they're like mini versions of you."She
