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
KAYAMy head was raging by the time I woke up.My body hurts. It was so sore from the training session that I'd attended a day ago. And even though I missed yesterday's session because Nora thought that I would die if I came around, I still felt like a truck had driven over me.My stomach rumbled, causing me to stand up from the bed.I looked like a mess and my hair was everywhere.There was a knock on the door and a chill flashed through my spine as I looked at myself in the mirror.“I’m coming! Just a moment!”There was no way I was going to let him see me like this. After I lashed out on him that day, I'd felt so bad but I hadn't had the time to go see him.It was all that witch's fault. If she hadn't been there, then I wouldn't have spoken to him that way.Seeing that there was no remedy for the first world war that was happening in my head, I took a shirt and wrapped it over my head.My breath smells horrible but I couldn't keep him at the door so I was going to minimize my talki
KAYAI should have just walked away and ignored her.I knew she was looking for trouble and she wanted me to give it to her but I wasn't in the mood.Clearly she was bored and had nothing better to do and that was why she settled for riling me up this morning.”If it isn't the new pack slut.”I didn't answer her, I kept walking towards Adrian’s office.”Where do you think you're going? Do you really think that flaunting your smelly little self in front of him is going to get his attention? It's really sad that you think that.”In whatever war that Adrian was preparing for, he should make her stand in front of the battle line and wear raw meat on her neck.It'll be a quick and easy finish.“What do you want this time around? Don't you ever get tired of being you?”She scoffed.”Don’t even think that just because Adrian rescued you, then you can talk back to me. I will smack some sense into you and I would have done that if he hadn't rescued you.”I really needed to thank Adrian for sav
KAYAAdrian and I walked behind him, making sure that he didn't do anything stupid.The reason why I believed his bomb threat was because if he could bug the house without me knowing just so that he could find out info about what was going on, then he'll surely do all he can so that he'll get what he wants. And I wasn't going to gamble with anyone's life.“When are you going to drop the remote? You don't want to leave with it, do you?”Thomas turned around.“What do you want to do with it?”“That has nothing to do with you. You get to leave so I get the remote. I can't trust you.”“You know I can change my mind and press the button. Then, you'll lose everything.”That was a threat.“As long as you go down with me.
KAYAWhat were the odds, what were the odds of Adrian waking up today?If he wasn't standing behind me, I would have said there were a million to one. But those odds didn't seem so anymore.My husband who had been out for seven months had suddenly woken up.My heart was racing fast and the arm pointing the gun at Thomas was shaking because I wanted to put it down and hug my husband.But that's what got us in this mess in the first place, one moment of weakness.Just then, I felt his voice in his ear and it sent shivers down my spine.“Kaya, listen you can put it down. I'm here and I'm not going anywhere. The guards are going to arrest him now.”I saw him speaking to Magda, telling her to drop the gun if she didn't want it used on her. My brain was sti
ADRIANThere was something heavy on my hand. I could hear voices around me but this time around, it was hard for me to make them out. Even though I wasn't awake, I could hear everything that was going on around me and I could feel everything too. I just couldn't move or open my eyes. But not this time. This time, I opened my eyes and stared at the ceiling, breathing heavily and finally feeling less trapped in my own body. I looked around the room and my kids were there. I heard the cooing of a baby and I knew that it was Lana that was by my arm. I wanted to move so that they'd know I was awake but for a moment, I could. Milo was speaking to the twins about something but I could make out what he was saying. My body was sore, which was expected. I didn't even want to know how long I'd been out. It was hard for me to move but I had to. All my joints cracked like I was a mummy just rising up from the dead. And Milo sure as hell looked at me like that. “Dad!” The way he crashed
KAYAI gave Magda back her phone..“Please, excuse me. The maids will get you some tea and we'll find you a room so you can stay for the night. I don't want you going back home tonight.”Nora was standing outside when I left the room. “Nora, send guards to stand in front of Adrian’s room. No one goes in or out. Take all the kids and put them there.”I ran to my room. A few years ago, Milo had given me some weapons to protect myself and I took them out and put them in my belt. “Kaya, what's going on? Do you know who he is?”“I’ve been so stupid. I've been ignoring what has been right in front of me and I didnt-”Tears didn't even let me finish what I was going to say. They choked my throat and did my let me breathe. “Kaya, please calm down. Tell me what is going on?”“That bastard is the doctor! The doctor that I gave the permission to treat Adrian is the one behind everything.”The picture that Magda had shown me was not very clear but it was just clear enough for me to see who h
KAYAI told Milo about the plan and we entered the room. “I can't believe he made a mistake like that. How stupid was that? If he had taken another route at this, then maybe it would appear smarter. But this, is just stupid.”I didn't know where exactly In the room the camera or bug was so we just stood in the middle. “Stella really helped us out. She didn't leave any detail out in her confession. So who do you think her boyfriend is? Of course, Elias is not his real name. I'm not stupid enough to believe that.”Nora opened the door and walked in. “What are you guys doing here? Kaya I finally trac-”“Nora, don't you think that it's weird though? Going for a girl like Stella? Just shows how much he had no class. A maid like Stella? Tch.” If he knew that we had Stella in our custody, maybe he'll see that he had been cornered. “Have the guards lock her up and beat her until she tells us where he is. If that bloody bastard doesn't show up, kill her. He'll show up one way or another.”
KAYA “The maid that takes care of Lana. I bumped into her and it fell to the floor. It seemed like she had been reading it and I saw it when I bent to pick it up.”Lana's maid? There were three maids that took care of Lana. “I saw some content of the letter. Something about a tux. I didn't see it well because she snatched it from me and walked away immediately like she was on fire. I just figured it was something personal.”A tux? Why would he want anything to do with a tux? Maybe Milo didn't see it properly. “Wait Milo, did you say a tux?” He nodded. “Kaya, the toxins. The ones the doctors spoke about. Milo didn't see “tux.” He saw “toxin”. She's the one who's been-”I shook my head to stop her from talking. I hadn't told the kids about Adrian's poisoning yet. She's the one who had been poisoning him. “Get all the maids that take care of Lana and bring them here. I don't care if you have to wake everyone in the kingdom up.” Nora left and I decided to tell Milo what was go
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
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
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
