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
AdrianHer words stung. But I tried to move past it.It was probably my fault. I was being too forward and it made her uncomfortable. She had expressed how she didn't want people to know that there was anything going on between us and I was doing too much.I should have stuck with my resolution of waiting and getting to know her. The fact that she didn't know that we were mates made things worse.But I thought that with the new discovery of her wolf, things would be easier because she would come to understand that we were mates.But she hadn't spoken anything about it since that day.Was it that she didn't know or was she trying to pretend? Was she waiting for me to say something?I heard the altercation between her and Naya. What she said about Milo… that was what made me want to hear more.But maybe I'd heard too much.We were in the gardens, the same gardens she had shifted for the first time.I'd eventually stopped people from coming here because even though they didn't frequent h
KAYAI went down for training late that morning.My body hurt, maybe it was the fact that I'd spent my energy running around with Milo yesterday and the boy hadn't gotten tired at all so I had to keep up with his energy so he wouldn't get bored.I hadn't spent enough time with him in the past week and I knew how much he required attention especially that of Adrian and Adrian had been very busy with some things so I had to keep Milo away from him so he could work.As I got to the bottom of the stairs, I made eye contact with an elderly woman who's eyes didn't hold any warm emotion.She was holding her bags and walking towards the front door and just as I wondered who she could be, I saw the maids at one corner trying to hold back their laughter.I figured she was the head matron.Wow, Adrian hadn't wasted time in doing something about her.As she got to the door, she turned back to look at the maids that were standing around and laughing at her.“I hate you all. I hate you all so much.
ADRIANI woke up very early the next day and got ready. I needed to see Milo today at the hospital.Without even thinking about breakfast, I ran out of the house and got into my car, driving straight for the hospital.He had never had a surgery before and I wanted to ask the doctor how soon his throat could heal because I didn't want to believe that my son would never speak again.They'd told me that some years ago and he had proved them wrong by speaking to me that nightmare so this time around, I knew he was going to prove them wrong again and he was going to speak.I just didn't know when.I didn't know his room number so I stopped at the reception to ask.“Good morning, Alpha. What may I help you with?”“My son's room number. Tell me where he is.”She looked through a computer and raised her head up.“He’s in the children's section. Two floors up, room 32B.”I made my way upstairs, holding his toy train in my hand and also a picture of his mother. As much as I wanted to hate her,
KAYAFive of them stood tall in the darkness, their full length gowns blowing in the wind.I couldn't see their faces but their silhouettes were very outlined by the moon high in the sky.“W-who are you? Are you them? My father's cult?”I heard a laugh.“No, we are not that useless band of vipers. You said you didn't mind staying with witches as long as they were not “weird”, whatever that means. I don't think we are “weird” but we are witches.”What? I didn't mean that. I didn't mean I wanted to stay with witches. I was only joking. Why was my life always like this?So this was what Lia meant when she said I shouldn't be scared.If she could send these people to me, why couldn't she lead me back to Adrian's pack.Gosh, I hated myself.“So are we going to go or we're going to stand here all night.. it's going to rain very soon..”“Shall we?"That question was thrown at me. At this point,. I didn't have a choice. If I stayed out here, that meant i was fine with getting wet and not eati
KAYASo maybe I'd made a mistake.Quinn was right. These woods were scary. Very scary and I couldn't even walk without looking over my shoulder to check for what was behind me.I should have just waited for a new day before leaving but I decided to leave when the day was almost over and that was the worst.Naturally, I was afraid of the dark and now to make matters worse, I had to walk in these woods by myself.“Do you wish you had listened to her now?”I sighed in relief when I heard Lia's voice.“Took you long enough to come. I was beginning to lose it out here.”She laughed.“You’re supposed to be the special wolf. How can you be scared of darkness?"I shrugged.“I don't know. I'm just glad you're here. The least I need right now is company. Just be here and help me.”“Do you even know where you're going? You have no one other than him."I knew that but I didn't want to think about it. I hated the fact that I had nowhere to go.“You should have just let Quinn help you.”I wanted to
KAYA“Why would this happen, Nora? I mean, I didn't mean for it to happen. I would never put him in danger on purpose.”“It’s okay. I know. I know."“Then why?” I swiped the tear away from entering my mouth ”Why would this happen? I told the maids not to make it a chocolate cake but she didn't listen. I swear I told her."She used her sleeve to clean the tears away from my face.“I know, Kay. I've told him that myself. Trust me, I know you will never do that on purpose. And I tried to tell him that but right now, I don't think he would listen to what I have to say.”“Is what he said true? Will Milo never truly speak again?”She looked at me without answering and I knew the answer already.There was nothing I was going to say at this time that would make Adrian listen to me. It was obvious that he was very angry and he wasn't going to heed to anything that any one said.He said I had an hour so I stood up and cleaned my face, putting the last of the decorations into the bag.“Where are
KAYAI wanted to go after them but I couldn't.I just knew that I couldn't. Nora went after him though and I just stayed there so going what the hell I was going to do.Why would I make chocolate cake when I knew he was allergic to it?I kept thinking back to that day and wondering if I truly told Belle about it and I was sure I did. I would never try to put his life at risk.Tears rolled down my eyes and I wondered if he was going to be okay. I left the room and went to the kitchen, to look for Belle so she would tell me why in the world she would make a mistake like this when I'd told her not to.I didn't find her so I asked one of the maids.“Belle? She resigned this morning.”“Resigned? What do you mean by " resigned?"Of course, I knew what resigned meant but right now, my brain wasn't comprehending anything.“I mean, she quit.”“Wait, but why? I mean, I just saw her this morning."She shrugged.“I don't know. But I knew she was in a hurry. She didn't even finish clearing out her
ADRIANI ran all the way to the hospital, stopping on the road to make sure that he was still breathing.His face that was once red was now pale and his lips were blue.As soon as the doctor sighted us, a stretcher was brought and they took him in.I was going to go after them but a nurse stopped me.“Alpha, you need to stay here. When the doctor is done, he'll let you know.”How could I stay calm?Nora placed her arm on my shoulder.“Adrian, you need to calm down. He's going to be okay. The doctors are doing the best they can.”My son was in there and he could not breathe and they were telling me to be calm. After pacing the corridor for half an hour, I finally sat down and placed my head in my hands.What if something happened to him?What if he didn't make it?When I found out about his allergy was the day that I'd offered him a bar of chocolate and he'd almost died.That day, the doctor told me that if I hadn't brought him in earlier, he would have been dead in a couple of minutes
KAYAI'd almost forgotten about Milo's birthday. Belle was the one who had come to remind me that his birthday was the next day and I quickly started putting things together.Since I needed to get him out of the room and I couldn't find Adrian around for the life of me, I ended up sending him to Nora's room.I didn't know where Adrian had gone to and when I asked Nora about it, she just said that he had business to take care of. When I asked when she would be back, there was no reply. I hadn't laid my eyes on him since that day out at the garden when he said he wanted to speak to me.I'd gone out to look for him later that evening so we could finally talk but I didn't find him because they'd told me that he stepped out.So I sent Milo to Nora's room. He asked why he was going there and I told him that there was a big bug in his room.Surely enough that seemed to work but he said Nora had to stay with him.. so that night, Nora couldn't help me with the decorations but I got a maid to d
KAYAI couldn't believe what I'd just heard.Adrian was my mate. All this time, the man I'd been looking to fall in love with ew she man I'd actually fallen in love with.What were the odds? I just stood there and stared at him with tears in my eyes. From the way he looked at me, I was sure that he knew too.I shifted back and quickly put on my second shirt that had been worn under the first one and ran to him.“Adrian, we're mates.”I was so happy so I pulled him in for a hug, thanking the goddess for not letting me meet some psycho who probably didn't know how to treat women.I'd met Adrian who had saved me from my father and who was the reason for my joy.The man I'd been looking for all this time was right before me and I had no idea.One of my main reservations about what Adrian and I had was that I wondered what would happen when he finally found his mate.I'd wanted to speak to him about it at some point but he brushed it off, saying that it didn't matter because nothing was go
KAYA“Hey, wake up!”I didn't move at first because I was so tired, I'd spent the entire day moving around town trying to get items to decorate Milo 's room.I'd thought that his favorite color was blue so I bought everything in that color only for Nora to suddenly remember that it's not blue, it's green. So we had to go back to all of the stores and swap everything from blue to green.Then after that, I had to think of a good birthday present for him. I hadn't seen Adrian for a couple of days now and I couldn't ask him what Milo liked.And I didn't want to ask Milo either because I wanted it to be a surprise. So I just moved around, trying to pick one exact thing that would make him happy.“You look even more confused than I am and I'm the one thinking.”She looked up from the kids' items in the store.“So, you'll have to do this everyday if you want to shop for your kid? I don't think I want kids.”I looked at her.“What? They're amazing, they're like mini versions of you."She
