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
KAYAI stared at Adrian as he dropped Milo on the bed.The words he had said to Naya replayed in my head. He said I changed his life.He kissed Milo's forehead and stood up to face me. With no words, he walked towards me and took my hand in his, bringing it to his lips and kissing it.My eyes fell to his lips, wanting them against mine so bad. He seemed to have gotten the memo but I was disappointed when he didn't kiss me.But he pulled me out of the room, closing the door gently behind him.Where was he taking me? Did I do something wrong?We stopped in front of my door and he gave me that look again. What was going on?As he pulled me inside, I was going to ask what the problem was but he slammed me against the door and kissed me. Hard.It took a moment to understand what was going on but he didn't give me much time to think about it because he put my arms around his neck and pulled my head closer to him.Closing my eyes, I decided to enjoy what I had been craving since that day on
KayaI’d just finished tucking Milo into bed when the door opened and Adrian walked in.“Hey, he just fell asleep. Apparently three rounds of chasing the criminal around can do that to you.”We both laughed and he walked over to kiss Milo on the head.“Would you like to go with me somewhere?”My eyebrows raised.“And where would that be?”It was quite sunny out and I didn't know if I wanted to be in the sun.“I want to go for a walk and I would like you to come with me. I realized you’ve been here almost four months and you still haven’t seen the pack so I would like to do the honors of taking you around and showing you around.”By the time he was done talking, I was smiling and the thought of not wanting to go out in the sun had flown out of my head. I hurried away into my room to change. I’d been wearing just a shirt and shirts since I was in the house.After changing, I came back out to see him standing by the door, waiting for me.“Are you set?”I nodded in excitement. It wasn’t l
AdrianI was in my office, having the worst day possible, when Nora stepped in. I had been looking for something my father gave me a while ago but i couldn’t find it for some reason. It was always in the top drawer of my dresser and now that I actually need it, I couldn't find it.It had been his most prized possession and he gave it to me when he was dying. I may not have had a very good relationship with him because of how stern and strict he was but that didn’t mean that he wasn’t still my father. He had taught me everything I know today and he hadn’t neglected his duties. Without him, I wouldn't have ever been able to rule over this pack.I heard her footsteps approaching me but my mind was far off, so I didn’t look at her.“Adrian.” I did hear but my head didn't move for some reason.“Adrian!” That was not enough to wake my brain up.“What is it? You don’t have to shout.”She sighed and shook her head, dropping a file on my table.“What is this? If it's bad news, please take it
ADRIANThe anger with which I had walked into that house could be felt for miles. I had no time to play around.“Hank! Come out here, you bastard!'' I marched deeper into the house, the guards trying to stop me.“You can’t just barge in here. The Alpha isn’t around. yYou have to come back.” I didn’t want to but I just had to punch that guy out of the way.“Hank! I know you’re here. I can smell you. Come out here you bastard.”I walked around the house, following his scent. The maids huddled in one corner and I looked at them. One of them slowly pointed towards the closet and I followed her hand.The bastard was there. I reached in and grabbed him by the hair, throwing him on the floor.“Were you hiding from me, Hank?”He was shaking but he had been the one to report me to his cult of little wizards and they attacked my pack. He was a coward on his own but when there were people around him, he seemed to forget that he was nothing.“No, I wasn't hiding. I forgot something in the closet
THIRD PERSON POVThat bastard thought he could beat me up and get away with it. He didn't know who I was and what I was capable of.It seemed it was time to show him what I could do.He thought that I didn't have the power to bring down strong people like him but I did.As soon as I knew that he was out of my house and my lack, I got up and ran to my car, with one place in mind.He will pay for embarrassing me and taking away Kaya From me. She didn't complain that she hated being here but he still took her away and I was sure that he was abusing her just as much. Even worse than I was treating her.By the time I got there, it was night fall and I knew that they would all be there. It was a full moon tomorrow and they needed to go over the materials for the sacrifice and ritual..He was naturally supposed to be here tonight and then Adrian came along. He was going to make sure that he went down for what he did to me today.I entered the room and they were all already seated. They were
KayaI woke up late that day. I had no idea why because I knew that I slept early. Which meant I had missed practice again.I couldn't remember how many times I'd missed practice this week alone. And I didn't like it because it just made me look very unserious.The fact that Nora hadn't spoken about it made it somehow because I wondered what she was thinking. I needed to attend practice more.I got up from bed and dashed into the bathroom. Practice would be over by now but if I went quickly, I would be able to catch her there and explain things to her.I didn't want her treating me differently because of Adrian or whatever I had with him. If I actually wanted to earn respect and earn a place in the army, I had to do things myself.As soon as I came out of the room, I saw her coming out of Adrians office and I quickly ran down to meet her.“Nora! Wait up!”She looked up at me and smiled.“Hey, what's good? I missed you today at practice, is everything okay?"“Yes, it is. I'm so sorr
LUCIANI had a raging headache that was about to burst through my head.I'd been in this seat for almost ten hours, from one meeting to another and I'd been talking and talking and it felt like it would never end.With the recent actions of the Argan Cult, I had no other choice but to start thinking of ways to protect my wolves.“So what are we going to do if we can't fight them with weapons?”“We have to ask for help from the witches, Alpha. We can't do this on our own."That was something I didn't want to hear.“Don’t even bring that up. Why can't we do it on our own? They're just men, aren't they?”I knew that they weren't just men but then I didn't want to ask for help from those people.“Alpha, I know you have reservations when it comes to the witches but then you have to think about how they could help us. I mean, we can't fight them on our own. What better way to fight people who have powers with their kind?”I knew that they were making sense but I didn't want to hear it.“Wha
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
