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

    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 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

    KAYAThe next witness was another maid.“State your name and plead your case.”She looked more mature than Laura but it didn't make things any better.“My name is Eve and I've worked as a maid for four years. When the guards came to our house to tell my mother that the Alpha had seen me and he wanted me to come work at his house, we were over the moon. We were going through a rough patch and thought this was a silver lining.”He was a predator, on a frantic search to look for young girls that will fall for his trap.“I started working there and just a month later, that's when it started. At first, I didn't even know what to do because it all seemed like a dream but then I finally realized what was happening when I got pregnant. I didn't know what to do. I couldn't tell my mother because I kne

    KAYAThere was not much to say to Damon.“I think you know what your fate is. I don't know how you will even think about doing such things to a human being. Look at the faces of the people you hurt and think about the way they begged you. I hope you never forgive yourself because they will never forgive you.”I was thinking about the best punishment for him because death was too easy. Death will be quick and fast and that was not the way he made his victims suffer.“Do the Elders have anything to say to him or do you still want to support him in his evil?”“N-no, My Queen. We disassociate ourselves from him. We find these acts appalling and a crime against humans. We sincerely apologize to the victims and we hope that you can find peace in life.”I'd finally finished thinking about the

    KAYAWe'd been in the house all day and I wanted the kids to go out and get some fresh air. It had been a while they did something fun asides their birthdays and I wanted them to leave the house so they don't feel so cramped up and bored even though I knew the kids favorite thing was to run up and down the hallway screaming and laughing.I remember when I first moved to this pack and Adriantook me out on my first tour. Even though things weren't so good, I remember having fun that day. There were a lot of things to do here and I was sure the kids would like the idea.I told them at breakfast when I noticed that they were at their coolest.“But it's hot outside.”“Well yeah but staying inside won't make it any better. We're taking the car and we'll use umbrellas. We can get water and ice cream too. You won't even feel t

    KAYAI basically sprinted down the hallway with Nora and went to Adrian's room.Two doctors stood beside the bed and Milo was standing by the window.“My Queen, it's an honor to be here. We heard you're in need of our services.”Doesn't feel like such a pleasant meeting when it's your husband that's on the bed.”Yes, doctors. Welcome. I called you here today because my husband was involved in an accident months ago, as you know. His neck was split open but thankfully, the blade didn't get very far.”The image of seeing him bleed out in front of me flashed through my mind again and I squirmed.“The doctor that was treating him said that he was recovering very well and then he got sick. He got an infection and then the doctor said he needed more blood. He also said th

    KAYAI'd completely forgotten that in my bid to find the person behind the red crown symbol, I had sent out invitations for a dinner party. A dinner party that was never meant to hold. It was only after Nora returned from an assignment that she dashed into my office. “We have a problem.”I dropped what I was doing and turned to face her. “What is wrong?”“We have one day to plan a ball. Not just any ball, a big ball. How on earth could we forget this?!”So much had happened in the last few weeks and it was only expected that we would forget. “We’ll look for a way to make it work. It would be suspicious if we don't hold it anymore. Let's just get started on it.”The first thing was to go down to the kitchen and ask the Chef to prepare the menu as quickly as possible. Then, the decorations had to start as well as the cake. One day was a very short time. Most times, even a week wasn't enough to do everything and I was going to work magic in a day. I told the maid to get started w

    KAYA One of the of being Queen that I was definitely enjoying right now was the fact that I didn't have to be the one to go around to say hi to anyone. As soon as I came down the stairs, I headed at taught for my table and almost immediately, I was flocked to the left and river by people who wanted to say hi. They were suck ups, commenting on the littlest things and making them seem more than they were. With the way they were all acting so composed, j was now very sure that they had surely heard of what happened to Damon. Maybe it wasn't such a bad thing. I mean, he had to act like a lesson to them and they should learn. “Nora, those cupcakes look delicious. Can I have a couple?” She looked at me like I had said something sacrilegious. “The Queen of the Lycan Kingdom wants to eat cupcakes at a ball? Personally, I would have given you the tray so you can have fun but there are people here watching you. You'll look funny so I'll get you just one cupcake and then you can eat actu

    KAYAJust as I'd thought, Tim wasn't asleep when I got there. I'd gotten a report that he barely slept anymore. As a matter of fact, all he did was sit in the corner of his cell and sulk. His wife had been dead for over a year but still, he had the reaction of a man whose wife was dead for just a few days. This was the man they really arrested for her murder? How could they do that? “Tim. Hey. I'm so sorry for disturbing you.”He stood up immediately and walked over. “My Queen! How can you be here so late? What is the matter?”“There is nothing wrong,Tim. I just had something to ask you. Can I come in?”He looked at me, obviously shocked to see me by this time. He also looked at the guards behind me. “By all means, My Queen.”The guards opened the door and he brought the chair for me. “Now Tim, I'm going to need you to think really hard to that day. I know that your mind was divided because of what you saw and you weren't really concentrating but do you remember seeing a pregna

    KAYA“Nora, get me the detective on the phone.”I didn't know how much of what I was seeing here was reliable. At this point, I didn't even care what time.it was. Everybody was going to be awake. She put the phone on speaker when he picked up. “Detective, sorry for calling so late. It says here that you found a pregnancy test packet on the kitchen island. Did you ever see the pregnancy test itself?” His voice was groggy. “No, my Queen. We searched everywhere, even the bin but we never found it. We figured that she must have disposed of it. Since we were going with the theory that she was cheating on her husband, we figured that she disposed of it so he wouldn't find out. We thought that he had seen the pregnancy test and that's what made him kill her.”Well, that was far from the truth. I needed to see Tim. “Let me know if you find anything new.” If Lucy had taken a pregnancy test that day, why was it missing?.“Sandy, you said you called her but you ended the call.” “I did, so

    KAYA“Its nothing, My Queen. I couldn't sleep either ways so this just gives me something to do.” “Perfect..I just have a question to ask you. I've been doing some digging recently and I've found out a few things. Also, a few things have happened.” She seemed comfortable, straight like she had nothing to hide. Or maybe she was just good at doing so. “We finally found Lucy's phone and according to the records, it shows you called her the day she was killed. Did you forget to mention that or did you intentionally leave that out?” Her strong gaze faltered and for the first time since tonight, she looked at the walls. “It seems I forgot to mention it.” “Sandy, I'm sure you know that whether you tell me or not, I will find it out myself. With or without your help. I just called you here as a formality or would you rather I began to see you as a suspect?” “No! Don't do that..I have nothing to hide. I would never do anything to harm Mrs Lucy.”Then I guess we were on the same track.

    KAYAI slowly got up from the bed because Lana was so unpredictable. Sometimes, she was a light sleeper and other times, even an atomic bomb wouldn't wake her up. This time around, she was the latter. I slowly backed away from her until I was out the door. “Why are you sneaking out of her room?” “Jesus Christ! Milo!” I had to hold my chest so that my heart won't fall out. He didn't seem fazed that he had just scared the crown off me. I opened the door again to check on Lana to make sure that she was still asleep. “Why’re you sneaking out of her room though?” This kid would be the end of me. “Maybe you wouldn't have seen me here if you were in your room sleeping. I'm the adult here. What are you doing here?”I pulled him along with me. “I always check on Lana every night before I go to bed. I just got back from the Twins’ rooms.”He does that? I never noticed. “Are you asleep yet?” He looked at me like I should know the answer to that. “Pretending to be. I told them to do t

    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
