KAYAI watched him walk away and I knew I should go after him. So why weren't my damn feet moving?I had just shared a moment with him after thinking that he was mad at me so why did I react like that?I was shocked by the way my heart was skipping beats as I stared into his eyes, not being able to move and frozen in time. I remember wishing that this had happened in my room so that we'd kiss again.It had been so long and I wanted to kiss him again. Why didn't he just chase everybody out of the gym and let it be just us?As I took a step to run after him, I heard my name and I turned to see an older woman walking up to me.“Hello dear, I've been meaning to speak to you for a while.”She paused and I prayed that she would just go on.“Is everything okay?" I hadn't seen her around before.“Yes, it is. I wanted to thank you for what you did for us."Us?She continued.“I heard you had helped in getting rid of the old matron. She had been a horror. And she's gone now thanks to you.”I kn
KAYA“I don't think the train can hold that many passengers.” I pointed at Milo’s toy train that was overfilled with passengers.He laughed, taking off some of the people. I remember that I hadn't spent time with him in a few days so when he came to wake me up from sleep that had been filled with cries and puffy eyes, I didn't hesitate to follow my favorite person back to his room.I'd been trying hard not to think about it. There was no way he wanted to tell me that I had seen wrong. No, I'd seen just what it was.What else was she doing on his laps?Checking his blood pressure?Why did he then act like he cared about me all this while? And why did he bother to save me the day she almost scratched my face off?I was so stupid. Stupid for thinking that he will be any different.My dad, Jackson and now Adrian. What was the point of ever trusting men?The door opened and he stood there, obviously shocked to see me and I matched his expression. I hadn't been expecting him here tonight.A
KAYAI'd just come back from training. Today was extra extra stressful because it was like Nora wasn't in a good mood.Whatever it was that Adrian was preparing for, it was getting closer. As soon as I got back to my room, I took a shower and went straight to bed, the muscles in my legs feeling the heat the most.I'd just fallen asleep when I'd started to dream.I was in the cloud and for a moment, I wondered if I was dead. Was I? I was sure that Naya was responsible.“You’re not dead.”I screamed and looked behind me. It was a young girl. She had silver hair that flowed past her feet and her eyes were very fierce.She looked familiar but I couldn't exactly put my finger on where I'd seen her.Well, for one, I was grateful I wasn't dead. That wouldn't have been very nice. Sorry Naya.That's when it clicked.”You’re-””Lia. Your wolf."I scoffed, feeling the anger start to bubble in my chest.“What the hell do you want, this time around?”“I'm here to apologize."I burst out laughing.
KAYAIt sounded like a story and I needed to understand certain things.My thoughts were cut short because I could see that Lia was about to walk away.“Well, don't just walk away. You've barely given anything to work with and now you want to leave. I have a lot of questions for you and they need to be answered.”“Okay, I'm listening."I wish I had fallen asleep with a paper and pen in my hand. Maybe it would have appeared here and I would have something to jot my questions down on.“First off, this evil that's coming for me. Why? Why are they coming for me? Is it just because of my powers? And who are they so I'll know how to handle them?””They’re called the Nakashi Cult. As you know, your father is a member."I stood there staring at her, hoping that she was slaying. She wasn't. My father… .wanting to kill me. That wasn't a new thing though.It was something I'd joked about but never really meant. Now I'm hearing that they're actually after me.“The Nakashi Cult?. Why? What do they
AdrianI watched as the doctor tried to get Milo to do the exercises. He'd been here two hours ago and I'd sent him upstairs to get started because I had something to do at the office.Every time I decided to get up because I was free, someone walked in and then there was more work. That was why I was stuck in the office until a maid came to call me saying that the doctor needed my attention upstairs.I dropped everything, taking two stairs at a time.“Hey doc, what is it?”Milo came down from his bed and ran to me, wrapping his hands around my leg. From the doctor's face, I knew that something was wrong so I picked him up.“Hey buddy, what's wrong?”He looked at the doctor and pointed at him.“He’s not cooperating and I don't know what else to do. That's why I called for you, maybe he'll want to do the exercises if he sees you."I turned to Milo who was looking at his fingernails, something I'd noticed he did when he was uncomfortable.“Is everything okay?”He shook his head.“I don'
KayaAs I watched Milo fall asleep, I felt a glimpse of the love mothers felt when they looked at their kids. He wasn't mine but I loved this little boy like he was mine. Maybe it was because I needed someone to pour my love into.When I finally had my own kids, parenting wasn't going to be a new course to me because of him. After he had fallen asleep, I stayed with him, holding his hand and just thinking of what he had to go through.What kind of mother would leave her son alone, knowing full well that he didn't have a father either? If Adrian hadn't been there to take care of him, what would have happened to him?Adrian was the best thing to happen to him after Asher’s death and I was grateful they had each other.I still wondered why he hadn't found his mate yet after all these years and I didn't know if I should ask him. I knew that I wasn't his mate and whatever it was that we were was just for the meantime and once he found his mate, I'd be cast aside.That was another reason I
ADRIANI stared out my window for the thirtieth time today. I could barely focus on any work. My mind was bugged with so many issues and I didn't know which to face first.I had absolutely no idea what Hank was planning next. If he was going to make any move, it was showing to be with those Nakashi Cult brothers of his and with their recent attacks on my pack, I didn't want them to attack another before I made a counter move.Only problem now was I had no way to communicate or know what their plans were. The only person I knew who knew them was Hank and he was the beginner of this entire issue.But I couldn't go to him. I'd been asked to stay away from him after he accused me of kidnapping his daughter. I'd even been asked to return her to him but I told them that I'd rather die.I would only return her on one condition, Hank and I battled to death.If he wins, then he can come take her home. After what he had done to her, I would be foolish to just give her up like that. The council
KayaBeing in this room for almost a week straight for consecutive days proved harder than I thought. I thought I would just sleep and while away the time but I'd gotten tired of sleeping.It has gotten to the time when I wasn't even sleeping again. I just spent the entire night staring up at the ceiling thinking. Thankfully, food had been brought to me and I occasionally stepped out to spend time with Milo since I couldn't avoid that.He was the only one who made things better for me these days and seeing him was like seeing my happiness.I stepped into the shower to make myself presentable. It's not like I hadn't showered but I didn't exactly look like a Disney princess since all my time was spent on the bed.My hair had grown out and I needed a haircut which I knew I couldn't have now so I just packed it up in a bun and moved on with the routine.Next were my legs. Any more hair and I'd be competing with Bigfoot. I took my time to get clear because I didn't want to cut myself then
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
