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
KAYAI thought for a long time about what to write before it finally hit me. “It’s about time you reached out. I mean, it's only so long for a coward like you to hide. As for the boys you took, you can do what you want with them. I already got what I needed from them, either way so I have no use for them. Next time, send professionals. However, I don't think you have a history of doing things right. The assassination attempt and now, a failed executive? Maybe you need to learn a thing or two. If you have something you need to say to me or something you feel I should hear, why don't you show up and say it to me? I'll be willing to hear it over a cup of tea. Your lack of bravery won't let you show your face though. I bet you're ugly and disgusting to look at. That's why you can't show your face.Show up and maybe then, I'll believe that you're a real man. Until then, you're nothing but a dirty little rat.”I gave Nora the letter to read and she didn't get far before she looked at m
KAYAMy next stop was Damon’s. He had some answers I needed. I had a feeling Damon wasn't working alone. The things he did, I feel like there was more behind it. If Damien had told Adrian about Nancy's illness, I'm sure he would have done everything in his power to make sure that she got the help that she needed. How hard was it to find rare blood? There were several wolves with blood diseases and- Wait, where have I heard this thing about rare blood before? Adrian! The doctor said that he had rare blood. Adrian would have been able to help out. I wonder where he got the blood to give Adrian. I headed straight for the dungeons when I got home. Damon was still there and I hadn't begun with his punishment yet. It was as I got there that I realized that the same cell had housed the guy arrested for the assassination attempt. Seemed like this was the cell for the crazy guys. “Bring him out. I need him to look me in the eye while he tells me his lies.”They dragged him out and p
KAYAThe pieces are slowly coming together. They were still all over the place but at least, we had information. We cleared the board that we had used for Damien's case. “So Kyle said that he had a tattoo on his wrist and that he smelled like rubbing alcohol. Both of which Damon confirms although Damon does not know the smell.”We pinned those two facts to the wall. “We know he needs blood. I heard from Damien that he threw the throne because Nancy needed blood and Damon asked for the throne in exchange. Damon is one of the few people who have rare blood. But what would he need that much blood for? A pint every three days is a lot.”“Not if he has a blood disease of his own. He may need it for himself or for someone close to him.”Hmmm, maybe. We pinned that to the board too. “He also said that he smelled like the King. Does that mean he's close to Adrian? He goes into Adrian's room?” I could see in her face that she didn't agree with me. “We don't know how long ago he smelled
KAYAI now believed when Nora said that the house had been bugged.We figured that they might be somewhere in the woods. Besides, that's the only place that Kyle would be able to grab a flower.So we decided to search the woods for them..it was actually quite hard to move around because the forest was very thick and it was almost impossible to cut down the vines that were hanging around.We walked around for a while until we finally saw a house in the woods. That's very strange and there was smoke coming out of the chimney so I knew that someone was at home.We approached the house quietly, surrounding it and bursting in immediately to meet an empty house.The men went in to search the inner rooms and they came back with nothing. How could this happen? Or did we come to the wrong place?“M
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
