KAYA
The 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
KAYAI should have known that they would turn it into something that it's not. Yesterday after the party, only a few Alphas showed up and said that they wanted to see me but when Nora came the next day and told me that almost all the Alphas were here for a meeting, I rolled my eyes..“ I knew they'd do this. They're where to bed on Damon's behalf. Like that's going to do anything.”I needed to see the argument they wanted to bring up when I told them that there were witnesses and testimonies, more than five infact, from men and women about his abuse. Normally, I wasn't even supposed to hear them out because I had already passed the decree but I wanted to hear what they had to say. I'm sure it will be entertaining. They had called for the Council as well? Wow, these people were really up to it. “Alphas, I received news that you have some grievances about a decision of mine. It was out of my respect for you that brought me out here and also out of boredom. I have nothing better to d
KAYAWhen the guards came to report to me that they had seen Natan sitting on the balcony with his legs dangling over it, I didn't know what to expect. I rushed out of the office and practically sprinted to his room, trying to find him. “Milo! Milo, where are you?”He wasn't on the balcony and there didn't seem to be anyone in the room. I was about to turn around and leave when the bathroom door opened. “Mum, what's going on?”I didn't even think about it, I just pulled him close for a very tight hug. “Mum, is everything okay? You're scaring me.” When I finally let him go, I could see that he looked really confused. “I thought -”I couldn't tell him what I had been thinking. I wasn't going to be the one to put ideas into his head. “The guards told me they saw you sitting on the balcony and when they told you to come off it, you refused.” He went to sit on the bed. “Oh, I was listening to music. I didn't hear them. Is that why you came running? You don't need to worry about
KAYAIt didn't take long for the doctors to come back with their results. I bumped into them on their way up that day and we all went to Adrian's room together. “So doctor, what do you have to tell me?” They brought out some papers from a file and one of them began reading from it. “Well, the other doctor was right. He is fine. He doesn't seem to be sick or have any infections. The King is in perfect health. His organs are also in good condition as well.”I'd heard all this before but I needed something new. Something that indicates life. I could see the sour look on their faces as they held something back. “There’s bad news, isn't there?” “We think the King is being poisoned.”I had to sit down. I was not expecting to hear that. “What did you say?” He handed the papers over to me. “We detected a toxin in the King's body that's not supposed to be there but it's there in large quantities. Which means that he has been given this over a long period of time.” Someone didn't wan
KAYA “Answer the question, Tobias.” He loosened the tie around his neck. “Yes, I heard you but I don't understand why the questions are taking this path. His favorite color is blue.”Just the answer I'd been hoping to hear. “So why do you have a purple key chain?”He looked down at the table and then at me. “My key chain? Is that what this is about? I have it because my son saw it and liked it and decided to get it for me.”I could see that he thought I was dumb and he was also getting aggravated by my line of questioning. He picked up the key chain and put it in his pocket but he didn't know that even the things that weren't obvious, I could tell that he was hiding something. He was acting all guilty. “You want me to believe that your son saw a purple key chain and decided to get it for his dad.”I knew that there was a probably that it might have happened. I'm not trying to restrict one color to a gender but just from the way his eyes were shifting to the floor, I knew that
KAYA Did they do this together? Tobias didn't seem like a killer. “I sent him to look for Alisha's hideout. Maybe that was the wrong thing. Nora, find out where he is and tell him to drop what he's doing and come here immediately. Also, where are you with those phone records?”“You’ll have them by the end of the day. I'll call Tobias now. Oh, and I was thinking. Maybe we should call Sandy.”What she said didn't register in my head so I just nodded. “Yeah sure.”Had Tobias killed Alisha? Maybe she wanted to expose their relationship and he had to kill her. But even if he had exposed their relationship, it wouldn't mean anything to me. Them being in a relationship would not implicate him in any way. Or would it? Nora was about to leave the room when I figured out what she had said. “Wait, did you say you wanted to call Sandy? Why? We already spoke to her yesterday.” “Yeah, well she said something about Lucy being poisoned to lose the baby. I want to speak to the doctor that tre
KAYAAfter I checked on Milo and seeing if he was doing okay, the maids brought Lana to me. “I see the little Princess is finally awake.”Nora curtsied in front of her. “My Princess, tell me to rise. My knees are weak.”Lana, who didn't know what was going on, just laughed and clapped. “Lana, my knees. I'm falling! I'm falling!” When she hit the ground, Lana looked over her high chair and Nora lay motionless on the floor. She wasn't smiling anymore and she looked at me, like she wanted me to do something. “Bob! Bob!”Nora looked up at her. “Lana, for the last time, my name is Nora. Not Bob!” As she stood up, Lana stretched her arms out for Nora to carry her. “Bob!”“Ooh, you're so lucky you're cute. You can call me anything you want to.”Breakfast finally arrived and I could see that Lana wanted nothing to do with it. She just wanted to be left alone to play with her toys so I put her in her toy pit. “She’s growing up so fast. I remember the day you pushed her out.”“Trust me
KAYAI woke up even before my alarm clock. I jumped out of bed and into the shower. It was particularly cold that morning and I didn't know why. I decide to wear jean shorts and a tank top. I didn't remember the last time I was free to dress like this. I was in my husband's house and I could wear whatever the hell I liked. The guards and the maids seeing me in this would not faze them. They had seen me in this before. I knew Adrian wouldn't say anything about it. Naturally, I wasn't supposed to be walking around wearing things like this because of my position. Even Nora couldn't dress like this but it was so damn hot and somehow, I happen to be a friend of the King. Besides, I'm sure everyone could see how hot it was. Or could they? I was the only one who was sweating. As I walked down the hallway, I received stares from the passing maids and guards. I could swear I saw some maids smiling. I went to check on Lana and her maid was already there. She turned around and just froze
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
