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 couldn't hear anything behind the door and it was like she wasn't in there.“Kay baby, please open up the door. I need to see you.”I could hear some movement and I thought she was going to come open the door but she didn't.“Please, talk to me. I need to see you.”I knew she wasn't going to come to the door but I had to try. How long had she been in there? Had she eaten at all?Gosh why didn't Nora tell me this as soon as it happened?I was about to walk away when I heard footsteps coming towards the door and she opened it up..There was nobody at the door so I just entered.Milo was in bed with her and she climbed in beside him, bringing him closer to lay him on her chest.He was sleeping and I could see that she had been sleeping too.She didn't look too good. It looked like she had been crying for a long time and it broke my heart.“Hey” I didn't want to be too loud so that I won't wake Milo up. “How are you?”I genuinely wanted to know.She didn't answer but she just no
KAYAI felt better when Adrian came to me. He was the last person that was expecting to see.Nora had been knocking on the door but I just couldn't open it up. I had been seeing those pictures when I closed my eyes and I felt like I was losing it.I couldn't sleep, I couldn't eat and I couldn't leave my room. It was like they were right outside, waiting to drag me to the grave with them. Why did they have to do?Why hadn't it been my father that died? That bastard.When he came and hugged me, I felt like my problems had been taken away. He hugged me and told me that he didn't hate me, that it was going to be okay and that it wasn't my fault.My main fear was that he would hate me for everything that happened. I knew how much he valued his pack and he didn't play with any of them so what my father and his people were doing was ruining things.I finally left my room the next day so I could meet with practice. If my father really wanted to fight this war, then I was going to be the one t
KAYA It had been six months since the incident. Six months since I'd last seen and held my husband in my arms. I remembered that day like it was yesterday. Having to watch my husband's blood decorate the floor like paint while I could only cry and scream.I'd never felt so many emotions all at once.“Adrian, stay with me. You cant leave me, not now. Please. The doctor will soon be here.”I knew that wasn't true but at that point, I couldn't bring myself to believe anything else. “I didn't mean to do that. That was a mistake. He moved too quickly.”Adrian held my hand, seeing that I was going to go after him. Don't.”. His voice was a whisper “I don't have time. Take care of the kids. Tell them I'm sorry for not coming back and tell Lana- tell my daughter that I loved her and I always will.”His hand that was grasping mine went limp and his eyes that were once trained on me lost focus. The tears suddenly dried from my eyes and the pain in my heart disappeared. I brought his head
KAYA I saw him. Mark. I saw him standing over her with a knife in his hand and I screamed but he wouldn't stop plunging the knife into her. I ran to stop him and that's when I realized that I had been chained to the wall. He cackled loudly, disturbing my ears and tears blinded my vision. “You will suffer. I will kill all your children, Luna. And you will stand by and watch.” To the side, I saw Milo and the twins also being held by men and I couldn't do anything. All I could do was beg. Cry and beg. “You can't do anything to save them, Luna. You can't. So give it up and give me what I want.”My body was getting weak from trying to get out of these chains. But my daughter was with him and I needed to see her. “I don't know what you want. Tell me and I'll give you.”I noticed that the chains were falling off the wall.With one strong pull, I should be able to get them off. And that's what I did. I used yeh chains to hit him across the face, causing him to fall to the ground
ADRIAN It was taking too long for them to bring him to me so I went out myself. “What the hell is the hold up? Why can't you find him?”“I have no idea, Adrian. I don't know. He was just here right now.”This was insane. Did that mean I couldn't trust any of my men anymore? Why were they dead if he had put them in the cells himself? “The men said they last saw him a few minutes ago walking out of the cells. Of course, they didn't suspect a thing.”This was bullshit. Cold blooded murder right under my nose. The audacity! “Get men out there! None of them are to come back until they come with a solution. They should bring him back here!”She began walking away. “And Nora ! Tell Allister to bring himself back here. I need him now.”I couldn't even remember where he was because of the amount of things clouding my mind. “I'll let him know, Alpha. I'll be out in the field if you need me.”All I could do was wait until they returned. In the meantime, I remembered that he had dropped
ADRIAN“You didn't know he wanted to harm the princess?! What did you think a random stranger asking you for such a thing wanted to do? Give her a surprise party?!”If I was employing such stupid guards, I wonder what else has gone wrong in this house because of them. “What else did you do?” “I found them and told them about the plan. He said he was going to pay us as soon as the job was done.”If they were there, that means they saw them when the baby was taken. I asked the two others who were on the second floor. “No, as soon as they passed, they asked us to leave. Their faces were covered with a hood. It was only later we learnt of the princess's abduction.”So these men stood by while my daughter was being taken. “And just like that, they left. They took the child and left.”Well at least, I'm getting somewhere. That meant that Mark wasn't working alone. That meant he had someone else working for him, most definitely on the inside as usual. “Take them away. I don't want to
ADRIANI grabbed the note pad and ran out of the room, going to our room to look for her. How did she- That's why she was with Nora during the interview. “Alpha, we found something.”I stopped to look at Peter. “Can it wait? I have something to do right now.”“No, it can't. It needs your urgent attention..I think you should see this.” What the hell could it be? “Fine then, what is it?”I went downstairs with him. Two guards were standing in the centre ground, with clothes in their hands. “Is that what I think it is?”They were Lana's clothes. And it had their blood on them. “Alpha, that's not the only thing we found.” I didn't like his tone. I didn't want to believe it. No, it couldn't be..“Whatever it is, can wait. Not a word of this to anyone..not a single soul. Not even Nora , do I make myself clear? Take them and keep them in my office along with whatever you found. Not a soul!”I walked away, leaving them there. If Mark harmed my daughter…I wouldn't be able to stand i
ADRIANThat bastard had the guts to come into my house and take my child.After everything that he had done, this was more than he could chew. No one knew what had happened aside from Nora and Kaya . I wanted to keep it that way. We would find him one way or another with my baby safe and sound. Kaya wasn't saying anything. Not just to me, to anyone. I'd asked Nora if she'd spoken to her and she said no. When I tried to approach her, she walked away.It was driving me nuts and I needed to know what she was doing. “Adrian , I need your help. Can you recognize Lana's smell?”Nora handed me the blanket still stained with blood and it got my stomach in a knot but I didn't let it show. “Yes, I can.”“I need to make sure that it's her blood. At least, we'll know that she's safe and sound.”The entire blanket smelt like her so it won't be hard to figure out if someone else's scent was mixed up somewhere. But when I smelt it, it was just her. “I will kill him, Nora . I will give
KAYA I screamed. With everything in me, I screamed. It only took Adrian two seconds to come flying into the room. “What’s going on?”It only took him another two seconds to access the room and see the blood. “Where’s the baby? What happened to her? Why's there blood? Whose blood is that? Where is she?”I couldn't move. I just stood there looking at the empty blanket as if I could see her.Nora joined us in the room. “What happened?”I don't know what Adrian said to her because I had already disconnected by that time. My legs went away and I fell to the floor. My chest was heavy and my breathing heavier as my brain tried to remember where the hell my baby was. Adrian came to crouch beside me and he shook my shoulders. “Kaya, now's not the time to cry. Where is the baby?”I opened my mouth to talk but nothing came out. I just stayed staring at him.“Kaya ! Say something! Where is my child?!”Him shouting at me got me scared and it pushed back the words I wanted to say. “Adria
KAYA I followed them downstairs, not being able to sit there anymore. I was not going to sit there when a psychopathic murderer was on the loose with no one knowing his whereabouts. Nora and Adrian were talking in hushed voices and I walked up to them to hear what they were saying. But they stopped talking as soon as they noticed my presence. “What’s going on? What's the update?” They looked at each other and I didn't like it. “Can someone tell me what's going on?”Nora walked away while Adrian turned to me and grabbed my shoulders. “Kaya, you don't have to worry, okay? I assure you that I'll take care of everything. You won't have to worry. I'm working to make sure that he's caught. It won't be long now.”I knew that he could catch him quickly but it didn't give me a sense of relief, especially the fact that he was not in chains. “Why didn't you just get rid of him when you had the chance? Killing him would not have affected her birth, you know?*I wasn't blaming him for t
KAYA Nora was right. I was pregnant..I also didn't believe it when the doctor told me..I gave birth to my daughter, Lana last week. She was the most beautiful thing to ever exist and I felt like I'd fallen in love all over again. She came out looking like Adrian which pissed me off so much. “According to my father, a girl has not been born into this family in ten centuries. But you, my Queen, gave me a daughter. You made me a special father and I love you for that.”“So you weren't a special father when you had us?” Milo asked. Adrian barely turned around to look at him. “Shoo, everyone has seen you. I'm speaking to my wife and my daughter.”I laughed..”She’s going to be so spoiled.”Adrian was very good at spoiling kids and that's why Adrian was going to be just as his father was. Spoilt. “You can say that again. She's going to be daddy's girl. My little princess.”She made me happy and she made all of us happy. She was a blessing. Adrian had to leave because a guard called
