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
AdrianI've been up since five am. There were things to be done and I felt like I was falling behind on my work so I started from that time to one in the afternoon when I finally felt a bit free to take a break.I'd wanted to make it for breakfast but then I just couldn't focus I had a meeting this morning with a very important man and I didn't want him to come while I was having ßqbreakfast.After getting some food, I rested for a while so that my eyes wouldn't feel stressed out. I was about to sleep off when Nora entered the office. I noticed that she had brought more work so I quickly ran out of the office, not wanting to do anything else today.What better place to spend the rest of my afternoon than with my two favorite people? I knew that they were having fun without me again and I didn't mind that. I knew that Milo was in the right hands.I stopped by her room on my way to make sure that she wasn't there then I proceeded to his room. The first thing I heard were his cries an
KAYA“Its nothing, My Queen. I couldn't sleep either ways so this just gives me something to do.” “Perfect..I just have a question to ask you. I've been doing some digging recently and I've found out a few things. Also, a few things have happened.” She seemed comfortable, straight like she had nothing to hide. Or maybe she was just good at doing so. “We finally found Lucy's phone and according to the records, it shows you called her the day she was killed. Did you forget to mention that or did you intentionally leave that out?” Her strong gaze faltered and for the first time since tonight, she looked at the walls. “It seems I forgot to mention it.” “Sandy, I'm sure you know that whether you tell me or not, I will find it out myself. With or without your help. I just called you here as a formality or would you rather I began to see you as a suspect?” “No! Don't do that..I have nothing to hide. I would never do anything to harm Mrs Lucy.”Then I guess we were on the same track.
KAYAI slowly got up from the bed because Lana was so unpredictable. Sometimes, she was a light sleeper and other times, even an atomic bomb wouldn't wake her up. This time around, she was the latter. I slowly backed away from her until I was out the door. “Why are you sneaking out of her room?” “Jesus Christ! Milo!” I had to hold my chest so that my heart won't fall out. He didn't seem fazed that he had just scared the crown off me. I opened the door again to check on Lana to make sure that she was still asleep. “Why’re you sneaking out of her room though?” This kid would be the end of me. “Maybe you wouldn't have seen me here if you were in your room sleeping. I'm the adult here. What are you doing here?”I pulled him along with me. “I always check on Lana every night before I go to bed. I just got back from the Twins’ rooms.”He does that? I never noticed. “Are you asleep yet?” He looked at me like I should know the answer to that. “Pretending to be. I told them to do t
KAYA“That's her secretary. Why would Sandy fail to mention that she called Lucy on the day she died?” Or did she have something to hide too? Nora chimed in. “I don't think she forgot. Sandy remembers details. I think she intentionally left that part out.”But if it didn't mean anything, why would she leave that part out? “Is there any record of the conversation?” He turned the laptop screen to me. “I couldn't find anything. It's like she called and ended the call immediately. It was barely a second.” Was that intentional or was it a mistake? “What time did her call come in?” He turned the screen back to himself. “Eleven thirty.” I was trying to create a timeline but the evidence wasn't enough. “I think I need to speak to her again. Nora, can you get her on the phone for me? Don't alert her about anything. Just tell her that we urgently need her for something and that we will send a guard to pick her up.” It was actually quite late and I didn't know if the commissioner w
KAYA“For now, we just need to focus on finding hard evidence that truly puts her there or else, our theory is out the window.” Nora stood at the board, spending a long time staring at it. I sat down behind her and thought too.Milo brought in Lana and I just put her on the floor to do her own thing. She didn't seem to care that I didn't have her time. “Oh yeah mum, there's a man here to see you. I don't know what his name is.” Must be Tobias. “Can you bring him here? Thanks baby.” How did the detective find the phone so quickly? I thought they claimed that they couldn't find it at the crime scene. How come it turned just a while after I had asked him.to look for it? That meant that if he wanted to look for it, he would have easily found it. The door opened and Milo came back with Tobias and some of the other men I'd seen earlier today at the fire scene. “Good evening, My Queen. Good day, Beta. This is my deputy and this is the Head of crimes. Just as you've asked, I've come
KAYA“Why were you calling me? What happened?” This was the first time in almost two weeks that I was this close to him. This was also the first time in two weeks that I was smelling my husband's cologne again. “I thought you were dead. I got called today and I thought the accident was you. Turns out you were too busy having fun to even pick my calls.” He looked like he was done with my bullshit and technically, I didn't care. “Why do you keep saying this? I just told you that I misplaced my phone. What more do you want from me? I apologized for not coming to the station quickly. But how was I supposed to know? I didn't have my phone.”Was that the excuse he was going for? When I turned around to face him, he knew he had said something stupid. “You don't need a damn phone call to know when your wife is not in the house. Usually, you can feel her absence and when she's not in bed next to you, you get your ass up and go look for her. I guess I can only count on Nora to save me.”I
KAYAWhen I got tired of hearing Nora give the man hell, I got up. “Nora, it's okay. He has already apologized. Detective, if it's not my husband in the car, please who is it?”We looked down the hill at the car. The firefighters had just successfully put out the fire and they were trying to raise the car unto the pavement. “It's Alisha's car.” That was another shock and I couldn't help the way I reacted. “What did you say?”That's when I looked back at the car and it finally looked familiar. I had seen it in the driveway when I went to her house. “W-what happened?”“As for now, we have no idea. We can't exactly say what happened to her but we will know more when we investigate.”We had to give them space as they dropped the car on the pavement. Before long, a car pulled up and Tobias and some other men joined us. “My Queen, good day. I just got word that you came here.” Being here meant that it was truly important. I wanted them to treat it as such because now, we didn't have
KAYA That meant that Tim didn't know that Lucy was trying for a kid again. “I’ll come see you later, Tim. Just hang in there. You'll be out in a bit okay?”“That’s not what matters to me, Luna. I just want you to find who killed my wife. That's the only time I'll truly be at peace. If I get out without knowing what happened to Lucy, my life would never be the same.”I could understand his point. “And I'll do everything in my power to make sure that I find who did this. And I'll make them pay. I'll see you later.”I left him and went back upstairs. “I was about to come down to meet you. I've put people out to look for her. We should get news before the end of tomorrow.” I didn't see Lana in her arms so I figured that someone else had her or she had fallen asleep. I had been focusing on the wrong person so much that she had time to run away and we had no idea. But then, there was no way that I could have caught onto her trickery. If I hadn't gone to the house and decided to cal
KAYAHe nodded. “When she eventually told Lucy and Lucy told me, it happened to fall on a date when I was in the hospital for the injury on my leg. There was no way I would have been out because I was in surgery and I didn't wake up until three weeks later. When Lucy realised, she apologized to me and came back home. I forgave her. I didn't blame her one bit.“Alisha is manipulative. When she noticed that things were good again, she came for me. Lucy had to travel for some work. One night, I came back and found her in my home in nothing but lingerie. She climbed in through the window. I didn't even want to hear what she had to say before I asked her to get out. She cried and begged, saying that I wasn't being fair with her and that it wasn't fair that Lucy had to get everything she'd ever wanted. She said that Lucy didn't have to know what was going on between us and that we could keep it a secret.“The fact that she had lied against me before just made me even more angry and since s
KAYA She stayed on the phone for quite a while, while I asked the maid to get me something to eat. Maybe because I had rushed my food, I didn't feel like I'd eaten anything. She got off the phone before I could get my food. ”What’s going on? What did he say?”I could see the disappointed look on her face.“He says the house is empty. It's like no one ever lived there. She packed up everything and left.” What? Packed up and left? “Why would she do that? How the hell didn't he see that she was leaving?” ”He said she must have done it in the dead of night. I don't know. I'll only run when I have something to hide.” Did Alisha run? Or was she forced into leaving? With Alisha not in the picture, that just left a lot of loose ends untied. There were a lot of questions to ask her and now that she was MIA, there was no one to ask them. “I need to see Tim. I'll be right back.” Since I couldn't get to Alisha, I might as well speak to someone who might have known her. I need to know
