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
KAYA“Go on, Damien. You have my full attention.”The court was quiet as he rubbed his wrists, obviously happy to be free from the chains.“I can not believe the accusations waged against me. Never for once in my life has it crossed my mind to rebel against Alpha Damon or the King. Even when he took what belonged to me, I took it as fate.”I wanted to ask him about that but I didn't want to interrupt him.“I do not know how those items ended up at my house. I've never even heard of aconite before. All I know is that they came to raid my house and arrest me, saying that I was planning against the Alpha. I got to his house and was still trying to plead my case when they walked in with those items.”So there was no proof that any of those things actually came from his house?
KAYAJust like yesterday, the trial started as soon as the sun came up. I was the last one to enter the court since I'd woken up rather late.Milo and I spent more hours delving into the dynamics of my relationship with his father.Adrian wasn't only my husband, he was my best friend. Which means that we trusted each other with everything.That included administration.I'd only gotten there hours but I had to forget about sleep for now and make it to the throne room.In Alpha Damon's best interest, he was already in the room when I entered.“Things are moving rather speedily and I hope that I could round this up as quickly as possible. Now, I'll be hearing from Alpha Damon about the events that happened in his pack. I think a first hand account won't hurt. Just as it happened.”
KAYA I was going for the letters like a hungry lion trying to gnaw at their prey. I could see that the pile of letters was reducing. “Have you found anything yet?” “Not at all. Do you think it's here?” From the look of things, I didn't think it was here. “How could this happen? We sent the letters out to everyone. And this is everything right? You're sure none of them went missing?”“Yeah, I'm sure. I asked the guards to put them all in a bag and deliver them together so everything will be accounted for. They didn't lose any.”How then was this possible? I sighed and sat on the chair. I had really high hopes for this plan. This was the only way we'd know who had the symbol. “Or maybe we're not dealing with an Alpha. Maybe we're dealing with a noble man. We didn't send letters to them because we thought it was an Alpha.”No matter how much I thought about it, my mind didn't just lean towards it being a noble man..“I don't know about that but we can try it. I'm not in the mood
KAYA“When he approached us at the bar, he told us that the job he had for us would make us rich and we immediately agreed to do it. He said he needed us to keep secrets and that we have to never tell anyone what we’re doing. Then he said that we had to kill the King.”Nora returned to the room and stood beside me. “What happened after that?”“We didn’t want anything to do with it but he said he’d kill our families if we didn’t do it. So he asked us to meet somewhere and he’ll take care of everything else but we just had to be there. But it neve happened and we were caught.”I was still waiting for him to fill me in but he kept quiet. I was surprised. “Is that all? That’s all the details you have?” He nodded. That’s odd. For a plan as big as killing the King, there should be specifics. I asked that the next person be brought and Miller said the same things. I even had to look through my notes to make sure that I was hearing right and there was nothing new to write down. When Coll
KAYAThe next day, the court opened as soon as the sun was up. There was no sleep for Nora and I last night since we were trying so hard to put forward an argument. Since she was now representing him, I couldn't help her directly because I needed to remain unbiased and uninvolved in all the dealings of both sides. But that didn't mean I was free to sleep. I needed Damien to be free which meant that I had to raise my own questions too. The letters hadn't returned and I was thinking of telling the Court what happened with the prisoner and the letter and all the ways the coincidence just matched up. However, I didn’t know who was the real culprit which meant I couldn’t trust anyone yet until I found answers for myself. Nancy, who was restless , bumped into me when I went to drink water in the kitchen. ‘My Queen, you’re still awake.”“Nancy, I've asked you to call me Kaya and stop bowing to me. Come, let’s go to my waiting room.”I shouldn’t be speaking to her either since she was
KAYANora was representing Damien since no one agreed to represent him knowing that if they lost the trial, then they’d suffer too. I would have done it but it had never been heard of so I asked Nora to do it. We had to plead our case to the Elders. If they saw reasons with us, they would approve his release and then I would too but if they didn’t they would have to bring in the Alphas, which was something i didn’t want them to do. “ My Queen, may I present the initial report regarding his arrest which clearly states that upon his arrest, his apartment was searched and certain things were found. All of which included aconite, the deadliest poisons known to mankind and witches. Imagine what it will do to a wolf. So at that point, it wasn’t an issue of unlawful arrest. There was evidence.”Nora brought the paper to me and I went through it and read all that he had said. “Go on.” “When brought to trial, Damien could not explain why he had the acenite with him in his house. He maintai
KAYAWhen Nora came back with a piece of paper in her hand, I froze. “I think you should see this.”The anxiety in my head didn’t let me move an inch from where I stood.“Where did you find it? Where did he keep it?”“Once, I saw him open a picture and when I asked, he said it was nothing. I think I know why he protected the letter with everything.”When she finally brought the letter over to me, I looked at it. The first thing my eyes noticed was the red crown symbol on the paper. It was even on the seal.The letter read,“Your Majesty,I write to you out of concern for your life. I fear there is a plan against you. They plan to kill you and your entire family just to take over the throne. I’ve managed to track them down after so much effort.”I looked at the description on the paper.“Where is this located? Because I know this is not in our pack.”“You’re right. It’s not.”Something else concerns me. “Nora , whoever sent this letter is the one who asked for me to be killed.That me
KAYAKnowing that it was just a small amount of time before what I'd done spread throughout the whole kingdom, I got to work immediately. After the party, I took Nancy back home and showed her to her room, telling the maids to look after her and make sure she's well rested. That woman had been through a lot. Then Nora and I got to work. “Kaya, do you realize what you're doing? This isn't just any other natural case. This is a case of treason and conspiracy to murder against the King. It's the most sacrilegious offense in the kingdom. Practically releasing an offender involved in this will not go down well.”I knew that it would not go down well and I was ready for the fire that they wanted to bring. “Nora, I have a strong feeling that he's innocent. I don't know why but let's look into it.”“Don’t you think Adrian would have done that when the case was brought to him? I don't really know much about it. All I came to see was him already in jail and I didn't ask questions because th
KAYA“Your Majesty, it's an honor to have you here. I didn't think you'd make it. I was afraid that you might be too busy to have time for a mere Alpha like me. We all know how hard you've been trying to keep this kingdom together.”This was another reason I didn't want to be here. The sucking up was next to none and it sickened me. I didn't even know who this man was.“Then why did you invite me if you knew I wouldn't want to come?”He seemed taken aback by that question.“I just thought it would be lovely to have you here. It's been a while since we've all gathered in a less tense environment.”They were the ones who were making things tense. I just sat back and watched them make fools of themselves.“I’m sure. My Beta would give you what we have brought.”
