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
ADRIANKaya fell asleep after crying for almost an hour.I watched her as her chest rose and fell and her silent snores filled the room.I knew she was tired so as soon as she started crying, I brought her to the bed.I felt bad for her, having to deal with all this and wanting none of it. She was scared, that much was obvious and I couldn't do a thing to help her.The first shift was something that has to happen naturally and being what she is, it made it worse. I could see that she hadn't the slightest clue what was going on or what it was about.“Can’t we do something?” I asked Asher as soon as he told me what was going on.“What exactly do you want to do? Help her shift? You and I both know you can't do anything.”“How about we get the doctor? I mean, he can give her something for the pain.”“And risk messing up? She's no ordinary wolf, Adrian. She's a special wolf. I told you this before.” He said, sounding tired of me. “Yes, but you didn't tell me much. So forgive me for offeri
KAYAMy eyes slowly opened and thankfully, the damn sun wasn't blinding me this time around.My body has also stopped aching like I'd gone to fight a damn war and the hunger and thirst that I'd ignored earlier were now fighting to be noticed.I tried to stand up, to get to that tray that Adrian had dropped earlier on but no matter how much I tried to get up I just couldn't. His large muscled arm was wrapped around my waist and I was trying so hard not to wake him up.I seriously needed to hit the gym. I kept trying though, wriggling myself out of his grip but it just became tighter and he pulled me towards himself again.Tired and exhausted, I lay on the bed, wondering how I'm going to get out of this arm cage. He was sleeping deeply and it would be very cruel of me not to care about that. He had been up with me for the entire night yesterday and had basically held me to sleep.As I lay there, supposedly thinking about how to get up, I didn't feel like it anymore. I felt very comforta
KAYAAdrian must have felt very embarrassed because he immediately sat beside me.“Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to take things too far-"“No, it's not you. It's me. I- I have my done this before and don't want to embarrass myself.”I could see him relax after hearing that and he gave me a small smile.”That’s okay."I nodded and that awkward silence that I hated settled between us. The ceiling suddenly became interesting to me as I lay there, wondering what he was thinking about.“Um,” he cleared his throat and got up with one move. “I have a meeting to attend and I'll be busy for the rest of the day. But if you have anything you need, just call for me."I doubted that I would be within three feet from him today because of what had just happened but I nodded and gave him a smile as he left.My mind was revolving around everything that happened and I had flashbacks of his touch for the entire day. After he left and I was able to finally move my limbs, I got up and went to get the tra
ADRIANI hadn't been able to focus all day.And I had Asher to blame for it.First off, I couldn't get this morning out of my head.It was the closest I had been to Kaya and the farthest we'd ever gone and it was like I hadn't kissed a girl before.Everytime I tried to forget, I saw her face in my head and I just went back to thinking. She was a good kisser, her lips were soft and I couldn't place my hand on what lip gloss she was using but it tasted amazing.Her skin was soft and every part I touched just felt like a fresh loaf of bread right out of the oven.Weird comparison but that was the best I had.I know I said I wanted to get to know her more but with the way she was around me these days and the way I had been close to her, I don't think it will work. The moment she was around me, I stopped thinking and I just couldn't function.I tried. I tried so hard this morning to not touch her, to not give into Asher's devilish torture but I had to break.No, I didn't have feelings for
THIRD PERSON POVMilo looked around him and wondered what was going on.They hadn't been told anything but the guards had come around the day before to round them up and take them outside.That was the first time some of them were seeing sunlight in months and he felt bad for them. He had been seeing it since he basically dined with the king every night.Even though he kept asking where they were being taken to, there was no answer given and batch by batch, they were taken out of the room.Unlike last time, he was blindfolded and transported away from the pack. They drove a while in the carriage and then they stopped at a small pack at the edge of the Bouncy Jackson.Milo had learnt that it was named that because if you dropped anything mistakenly into it, the Jackson would throw it back up. Fools who threw themselves into it were never seen again.They took them to a house and put them there, guarding the door just like back in the palace.Thankfully, Daphne was by his side.“What do
KAYAGetting in didn't prove like much of a hassle to me and before long, I was in and walking around the palace.The next step was to find out where the bastard was so I could kill him once and for all. Golden Blade didn't seem so bad now that I thought about it. I mean, the kingdom looked pretty up to date and it looks to be in very good shape.I don't know what I was expecting but it is not a standard place.A few guards walked last and I brushed to the side and hid.“Where do you think the king ran away to?”“I don't know. We got information that he was in danger and that we had to evacuate him.”You have got to be kidding me. Jackson ran away?! How on earth did he even know that I was coming? The sun was rising in the sky already and Adrian might be on his way with the other soldiers already.This didn't seem right. I mean, I only just got here so who could have been able to deliver a message that fast and who was working for Jackson? Who in my kingdom was giving him information?
KAYALet's just say being the Queen has spoiled me.I wasn't used to walking in the thick bushes and I can't count the amount of times I tripped over a branch or my own two feet. My own shadow scared me.I should have taken guards with me, Adrian told me to but my mind was too fixed on just leaving.Now, I wanted to pee badly and there was no way I was going to do it in these bushes..“How’s it going out there? Don't you wish you had waited for me now?”I had to turn around and make sure that he was not behind me.“No, I do not. It's going very well. It's almost like I was born with the trees. You can call me Mother Nature.”He burst out laughing, knowing I was bullshitting him.“I trust you'll be fine. I fired Shawn.”I had to stop walking and process what he said.“Did you just say you fired Shawn? Why? I mean, I like that but why? I thought you couldn't see anything wrong in him.”He sighed.“I lied. I knew what he was doing, I knew why you didn't like him. I just wanted you to de
ADRIAN“Alpha, what's so urgent that you couldn't wait till morning? What has happened by this time of the night?”“Gentlemen, we are going to war.”That word alone had its weight and as I said that, no one said anything else.“You do not know this but a few weeks ago, on my way to Golden Blade, my son was kidnapped.”Gasps filled the room and I let it sink in.“We were attacked and my son was taken away. The Queen then brought it to my attention that every month since the beginning of the year, kids were taken away from this pack with no trace. No one knows how they were taken and there were no witnesses to tell the story.”Now that I said it out loud, it didn't make sense to me. Kids from my kingdom were being carried away and I had no idea about it. What kind of king did that make me?“We’ve been trying to look for sources to tell us anything and tonight, a letter arrived for the Queen. It was from her former lover and he has confessed to taking the kids. I know him personally and
KAYA“My Queen,It's been so many years since I saw you or heard your sweet voice. You walking out of my life all those years ago, left a big hole in my heart that couldn't be filled with any other woman's love.You were my first love and you'll always remain my first love. I can't deny the fact that I let the years go by without reaching out to you but I was too busy becoming a man, making myself worry of seeing you.And now, I'm proud to say that I have made something of myself. I've turned myself into someone you would be proud of, someone you can call a husband. Everything you possibly want, I have it.All you have to do is just say yes. Let's leave the past behind us, the past never does anyone any good. The mistake I made with Serena was stupid and I agree but you shouldn't have given up on us just like that. You should have continued to show me how much you love me and maybe I would have come back to you.Notwithstanding, I'm ready now. I'm ready to love you and love all of you
KAYA“So you're telling me Golden Blade took him and other kids?”We were all having dinner and Nora sat across from me.“Yeah, I've been doing what I can to find out who Golden Blade's Alpha is but for some reason, it's seeming like some top secret. Almost no one knows.”And that's why I'll keep saying that it seems fishy. Because there's no kingdom that would hide their king.“I’ll do what I can as well.”I couldn't stop looking at Nora . When she left all those years ago, after Aaron left, I didn't think things would be the same.“Do you have to go?” I asked her as I watched her pack.looked at me.“Yes, I do. I've been by Adrian's side for years and he's giving me my freedom. I'd like to move around for a while, see places and things, maybe even live with humans, find love but I'll be back.”I knew I couldn't stop her but I wish I could. But now she is back. The years had done her, she looked more mature, like she had seen a lot in life.“Adrian , how have things been?”Since s
KAYA“Adrian, wait. You have to listen to me. You can't just do things without thinking far ahead.”He turned to me so sharply that I almost bumped into him.“What else is there to think about, Kaya? That bastard took my son and other kids and you think I'm just going to sit back and do nothing?!”“That is exactly the reason why you should not be rash. He has the upper hand here and I fear he would not hesitate to use it if he's pushed. I'm very sure he knows who Milo is and do you think if you attack him, he won't use him as leverage? You're putting Milo at risk so please, be careful and think about it.”He finally let out a breath and sat on the bed.“I don't even know who the Alpha is. Golden Blade has never shown their Alpha. Their Beta is always the one who attends meetings and all that.”That didn't make sense.“And you didn't find it weird after all this time? It didn't occur to you that there might be something more to it?”He shrugged.“I have a kingdom to rule. I don't spend
THIRD PERSON POVMilo knew the gravity of what he had done and luckily for him, none of the other kids had been stupid enough to bend to the pressure.Ever since the guards realized that the girl was missing, they were questioning everyone one after the other and Milo feared that sooner or later, somebody would fold but so far,no one said anything.He just had to do what he did. He needed to send a message to his father to let him know that he was fine and also to his mother, who he knew would be very worried. He knew the situation at home would be very otense with his father looking for him.Even though the situation here was harsh for him to adapt to, he tried his best in doing so and with the help of the friend that he made, Daphne, he navigated being in this place.“Do you think the girl made it home?” Daphne asked.“I hope she did. Right now, she's the only hope we have in other people finding out where we are. “He knew it wouldn't take them for his father to realize what he wa
KAYAFrom the way she was talking, I was afraid to ask for the number of kids that were there but I had to.“How many kids were there? Do you know?”She nodded.“At the time I got there, there were thirty kids. By the time I left, there were seventy five.”How in the world did that amount of kids go missing and Adrian and I heard nothing about it?“Seventy five.”That was a large number. Too large.“And all the kids are from this pack. We talk to each other so we asked around when the guards left the room at night. Every month, they bring a new batch of kids but a week ago, they brought in only one boy.”My ears perked up at that.“What did he look like?”I could see that she waa trying hard to remember.“Dark hair, dark eyes. Around my age. He doesn't really speak but he often speaks to the guards on our behalf. He's the only one who has ever spoken to the master.”“The master? Who's that?”She looked at her mother before she answered.“He doesn't really come in. I've only heard his
