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
KAYA “Miller, who did this to you?” He looked down at his chest. “I don't want to talk about it.” I'll ask Kyle about it. “Can I get that necklace you're wearing?”He touched it. “No, Kyle gave it to me. He said that I must never take it off.”“That’s okay, Kyle won't know. I won't tell him. I just find it very pretty and I need to take a picture of it. I'll take care of it, I promise.” He slowly took it off and handed it to me. “Are you really going to kill me?”“Oh no honey, I won't. I just said that to get Kyle to give me what I want.”“He’s a really good brother.”They were brothers?! “Miller, is Collins your brother too?” He nodded. It made sense now why there had to be a leader in the pack and why they were all so tight knit. “Thank you for your help, Miller. I'll return these to you as soon as possible.”I told the guards not to take him back to the cells because I didn't want Kyle to see him yet. “Soak these in blood and bring them back to me. We have a show to put
KAYA While Nora was gone, I had to do something for myself. She was out there trying to gather resources and I needed to gather mine too. The only resources at my disposal right now were the ones down there in the dungeons. I'd decided not to go ahead with the executions because as much as they annoyed me by not saying anything, I needed them. Those kids were the only ones who knew who had sent them and who was the person behind the red crown. Milo wanted to come down with me but he hadn't been down here before and this wasn't the place for kids to come. Eventually, he would get the chance to come down here but not yet. I didn't think I would be coming down here any time soon but here I was. The guards led me to their different cells. I'd separated them so they won't have the chance to corroborate their stories. I didn't need them ganging up against me. The first stop was at Kyle's cell. He seemed to be the stronger one between the three of them. He was going to be the hardes
KAYAThankfully, we finished setting up the decorations last night. Everything was in place by the morning and I went with Milo and Nora to wake the twins up with the happy birthday song. I knew they were already awake because as we entered,I saw Lorian moving and Adrian giggled. After the song, they hopped off the bed and ran over to blow the candles. “Happy birthday, my little princess. I can't express how much I love you and how much joy you bring to me.”Of course, Milo has to interrupt the moment. “You're finally ten, which means I get to chase you around the house with knives and mum can't say anything about it.”I didn't understand where that was coming from. “Even when they're old and wrinkly, no one will be chasing anyone with knives. There's no age limit for that.” Of course, they had to use my own words against me. “But you said that Milo can chase us when we become ten. We're ten today, mum.”When did I say that? I don't remember saying that but with these kids, I
KAYA “What is the meaning of this symbol, Collins? What are you not telling me?”He looked like he was trying to fight with himself. “I was supposed to burn that.”It was meant to be a whisper but since the court was quiet, it was audible. “Why should you have burned it, Collins? Were we not supposed to see this?”“It was none of your business. You're going to get us killed!” Well, that's what I wanted to hear. “Not before I kill you first. Listen to me, do you think that I can ask the guards to throw a dagger at you and kill you on the spot? Do you think anything is stopping me?” Who were they working for that made them so scared to even cough? He didn't say anything. “Very well then, schedule their execution to happen tonight. If they don't want to be useful, then I'll do away with them. Get him out of my sight.”As the guards dragged him out, an unsettling question rested in my mind. Who was behind all this? The person had gone through a whole lot just to set things in m
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
