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
KAYAI woke up to a handsome stranger, not so stranger, in my bed this morning. I didn't know how Milo managed to crawl into my bed without waking me up but he was here and he wasn't leaving until he had my attention.I quickly did my bit before following him down for breakfast. I could see that he was in the mood to play today and that was okay, considering how I hadn't exactly spent time with him in the past few days.Now that I was out of my room, I wanted to make it up to him and what better way to do that than spending the entire day with him? It'll be like our personal day out, just the two of us.I didn't see Adrian at the table which meant that he was working. He always made it to breakfast and he only missed it when he had too much work.But that was fine, we could have fun without him. As soon as breakfast was over, we went back to his room to begin our funday.First, we played hide and seek and of course, I won. Then, it was wrestling. It was really hard to wrestle with so
KAYAI didn't even know when I slept off in my chair.By the time I woke up, it was already dark out and I jumped up almost immediately to see that there was no one at my side.At the end of the hallway, Nora and Adrian stood speaking to each other.The looks on thier faces..“No, please tell me she's not dead.”My knees gave in and I fell to the floor. Adrian rushed over.“Kay, Kaya. Take it easy. Just relax, it's going to be fine.”Who did this? How could they do this to her?“She’s not dead. She's in a coma. The doctor said that she's been exposed to the cold so much and after warming her up, she slipped into a coma.”I got up from the floor immediately.&l
KAYA“So tell that woman or whatever she is to wake up from her dreams because there is no way her child will be the King while I'm alive. Get her to do the test and then send her out of my house. I don't care what happens after that.”“Nobody will take Milo's throne. I'm not going to let him become the heir.”I didn't know where this came from but I knew it was from a place of rage and hurt.“Even if you try to think of giving the throne to him, I will kill you and everyone else who stands in my way until my son sits on that throne. That is not a threat. I'm sure you know I can do it.”Since they wanted me to go this far, I would. I wouldn't let anyone treat Milo like he wasn't a part of this family. I knew what he had gone through when this issue initially started.When those low lives decided to come af
KAYAI didn't have the time to waste dragging anything with anyone.All I knew was that at this point, anyone who crossed me would pay for it.All this rubbish that was going on wasn't even on my mind. All I was thinking about was what would happen tomorrow since I didn't leave Adrian.If the person in question even knew what was going on over here, they would not believe it. I'm sure that they would be even interested in hearing the full gist.AIl I wanted was my baby back. If I had her back, she would give me the strength to get through this rubbish that was going on.I knew that Adrian didn't even remember that his child was missing so I would look for my baby myself.Since he seemed to be more preoccupied with the appearance of his so called heir, then I would focus on finding my
ADRIANThey brought her in and I was even scared to look at Kaya.“State your name and your claim. Note that you are befoe the official court so lying or fabricated stories would be duly punished once found out. You may continue.”The fact that she was always so unserious was what repelled me from her. She could never read the room.“Well, Adrian and I-”“I would advise you to refrain from calling the King by his name. No matter what history you have, he is still the King. Continue.”She rolled her eyes as she continued.“Well, the king and I had sex. I got pregnant. This is his son. How hard can that be for anyone to understand?”“Um, young lady. How sure as you that this child belongs to the King? I mean, how do we know that he's not for someone
ADRIANNever in my life did I think that Selena would come back here.I had even forgotten that she existed because she was in my life so long ago and she didn't leave any significant impact.She was just someone who I happened to know in passing.“Nora, I don't know what the hell is going on.”She had a son for me? What happened between us was so long ago that I don't even remember the exact details and I'm still trying to grasp what exactly happened.“Adrian, another woman and another child? I don't even know what to say. I mean, I know you once told me about her but that was so long ago.”“Exactly! That is why I didn't think that she'd come back and say things like this. After that night, I never saw her for once again. I left and I never went back.”
KAYA“This is the last time I'll tell you not to speak to my wife like that. I don't care what it is you have to tell me but I won't take any insults directed at her..do I make myself clear?”She rolled her eyes.“Whatever. I-”“No, that is not what I asked. Do I make myself clear, Selena? I expect an answer like a normal human being.”“Yes. Yes my King. Now can I go on with my explanation on why this kid is yours?”I saw Adrian look at me but I ignored him. He was trying to read my mood, to see if I was still mad at him.I was. And I always will be.“You can continue.”“Thank you. As I was saying, you got me pregnant and this is your son. I mean, look at him. Isn't he a fine young man?”
KAYA“What madness is this? Don't you know where you are? Who are you and what right do you have to touch my husband like that?”The fact that Adrian was just standing there like it was a normal thing pissed me off.She looked at me like I was interrupting something.“And who are you? Did you say your husband? Girl, you must be dreaming. This is Adrian, the King. Adrian, tell me this bitch is lying.”Bitch?“Don’t call her that and yes, she's my wife. Selena, you haven't asnwered my question. What are you doing here? What do you want?”She dropped her little purse on the table.“How could you be married, Adrian? You told me that you wouldn't ever marry and that's why we couldn’t be together. How come you married…this?”&n
KAYAI hadn't checked the back because there was still a lot of space on the front page to write anything.“If you don't leave tonight, get ready to bury your daughter.”My heart sank as I heard that and all of a sudden, my palms become sweaty.“Kaya, it's just a threat. Forget about it. It's nothing. Don't be scared. Nothing will happen to her. I'll put a rush on the fingerprint and I'll get back to you tomorrow okay?”I just nodded as Roy left..I wasn't thinking right anymore. I hoped nothing happened to my daughter.Adrian didn't see that part of the letter.My legs felt weak and I felt nauseous so I just fell to the ground and put my head in my hands.“Kaya, c'mon, you can't do this here. What if someone passes and sees you like this? You're the Q
KAYAHe read the letter.Even though it was short, he took a good couple of minutes reading it and I just stood there looking at him.“You want to leave me?”What??“What? Is that what you got from that? No, I don't want to leave you.””Then why didn't you want to show me the letter? Were you considering it?”I can't believe he was asking me that.“What on earth is wrong with you? Why would you think that? The letter just came for me and I don't know what to make of it. Why're you acting like I'm the only one hiding something?”There was a very deep frown etched on his face.“What are you talking about?”“I'm talking about the sec
