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
KAYANaya came to me after the first break when I was drinking water out of my leaking water bottle.Damn Naya.“Hey, it really broke. You'll have to get another one.”“Sure.. what's going on? Is everything okay?"She laughed.”Yes sure.. I actually just wanted to ask you if you wanted to join us for our midnight run. It's going to be a full moon tomorrow and we like running then because that's when adrenaline pumps the most.”I couldn't even say anything to her because there was nothing to say. I knew that she didn't know anything about my wolf situation and since she was asking me this, it was obvious that Adrian hadn't told her about it.It's not like I was hiding it. Nora was one of the people I trusted in this pack and I wouldn't mind if she knew even though I had trust issues but I just didn't feel like talking about it right now.“A run? Um, are we shifting or running with our feet?”She laughed again.“You’re so funny. You think a pack of wolves would run with their feet?"Yes
KAYASo maybe I didn't think about how boring this was going to get..After a while, maybe about thirty minutes, the only thing I could hear was the chirping of the birds in the trees and the crickets.The kids were playing a few feet away from me and that was the only sound that could be heard.Milo pulled on my hand and pointed to them and I immediately nodded my head. It was getting easier for me to understand him these days and I was so happy.I watched as he smiled and ran in their direction and they made space for him. If Adrian could see him right now, he would be so happy.He was becoming more and more open lately and it made me feel so relieved. Even though he wasn't speaking yet, I knew that it was a gradual process and it wouldn't be long before he said his first words.Well, not his first words exactly but…I liked how connected I felt to him. He now felt like my son and it was like in everything that I did, I had to consider him. When I was sleeping, the first thing I th
KAYA“Serena.”She smiled at me and under the moonlight, she looked more evil.”How the hell did you get in here?"She laughed.“Don’t you think you have bigger problems to face?”How the hell did she get in here? What was she doing here?“What are you doing here? And how did you get in here?”She went to sit on the chair that I had been sitting on and she crossed her legs. I could still see movement in the trees.“You didn't come alone. What exactly is your plan?"I could see them coming out of the trees and my heart started racing.“What exactly are you doing here? Haven't you done enough?! “Some men came running out of the trees and they began running towards the house. They couldn't go in there.”What are they doing? Wait stop, my kids are in there!”She raised her hand to stop them and they halted.“What is it?! Haven't you done enough? The pain, the torture, the torment! Are they not enough?!”She laughed maniacally and rose from the chair.“I came here to make you pay for what
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
