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
ADRIANWe were already deep in the forest when I felt it. A pang in my chest.There was something wrong. I suddenly stopped running and Nora walked up to me.“What’s going on? You're holding up the pack.”I looked behind me and saw that everyone had truly stopped.“Something is wrong. I don't know, I just feel like it is."She laughed.“Do you miss her that much?”“Who?” I asked and then it clicked. ”Don’t be ridiculous.”She looked at me somehow.“I mean I do but don't be ridiculous. That's not what this is about. What I'm saying is that there's something wrong. I don't know what it is but I can feel it in me."She turned around and mindlinked everyone.“Is everyone here accounted for?” Check on your partner.”We made sure that everyone had a partner to make accountability easier on days like this.“Yes, everyone is here.”Nora turned back to me.“You see, everything is fine. You didn't have anything to worry about."She was saying that but I knew what I was feeling.“I know you're
KAYA“No!”It was too late. The knife was already in him and I couldn't do anything about it.“Who’s kid is this? I know it's not yours so who has this kid?”I couldn't even answer her.“Milo, please stay with me baby. Open your eyes, I'm here. I'm here. Mummy's here. I won't let anything happen to you.”“Who’s kid is this? Did you have a kid here already?”Milo's eyes were closing and I didn't know what to do.“Somebody help me! Help me!"She just stood there watching me as I asked for help.I wanted to leave him and run inside for her but I didn't trust her not to do something for him so I just kept screaming.“Somebody help!” Tears gathered in my eyes as I watched his blood drain to the ground.He was barely breathing.“Shit! Let's go!” I suddenly heard her shout and I looked up.They were back. I screamed so that they would know that something was wrong.Serena needed to pay for what she had done and I wasn't going to let her get away with it.It was Adrian and he just stood the
KAYAI didn't even know I had fallen asleep until I fell down from the bench.“Ah!” I fell on my arm with so much force that it hurt so bad.When I noticed that the sun was coming up already, I ran back into the hospital.Last night after the doctor had left us, Adrian turned to me.“You don't deserve to be here.”“Adrian" Nora wanted to say but he raised his hand to stop her.“Leave, it's all your fault this happened. My son is in the hospital fighting for his life because of you. It's all your fault. Get out!”I covered my head with my hands and trembled and I didn't even realize I had fallen to the floor. It reminded me of my dad when he wanted to beat me all those times.He'd be so angry that he'd just keep shouting and shouting and I'd use my hands to cover my head so he wouldn't hit me.Sometimes he hit me and sometimes he didn’t.“Please don't hit me. Please.”I couldn't even look up at him because I was so scared about what he would do.Nora knelt in front of me and pulled me
KAYA“I fell.”He didn't hear me.“What did you say?"”I said I fell. I fell down from the chair.”He looked at me and just sighed.“We’ll need to get you a room and then we'll check you out.”Nora walked up to us.“What’s going on?" She looked at me ”Why is your face like this?”She moved past the doctor.“Let’s get you a room."I went with the doctor to the room and they immediately put an IV in my hand.Sleep suddenly took over me and I slowly closed my eyes and went to sleep.By the time I woke up, I kind of felt better and it was less cold.Nora was beside me and she was reading a book.“Hey.”She dropped the book and turned to me.“Hey. You're awake. You want something?"I pointed to the cup of water beside me and she brought it to me.“Thank you. What the hell happened? I don't remember a lot.”I noticed the cast on my arm.“Did he hit me?"“What? What did you say? Who hit you?”I suddenly felt drowsy and I couldn't even open my eyes anymore.“Adrian. Did he hit because of wha
KAYA“Go on, Damien. You have my full attention.”The court was quiet as he rubbed his wrists, obviously happy to be free from the chains.“I can not believe the accusations waged against me. Never for once in my life has it crossed my mind to rebel against Alpha Damon or the King. Even when he took what belonged to me, I took it as fate.”I wanted to ask him about that but I didn't want to interrupt him.“I do not know how those items ended up at my house. I've never even heard of aconite before. All I know is that they came to raid my house and arrest me, saying that I was planning against the Alpha. I got to his house and was still trying to plead my case when they walked in with those items.”So there was no proof that any of those things actually came from his house?
KAYAJust like yesterday, the trial started as soon as the sun came up. I was the last one to enter the court since I'd woken up rather late.Milo and I spent more hours delving into the dynamics of my relationship with his father.Adrian wasn't only my husband, he was my best friend. Which means that we trusted each other with everything.That included administration.I'd only gotten there hours but I had to forget about sleep for now and make it to the throne room.In Alpha Damon's best interest, he was already in the room when I entered.“Things are moving rather speedily and I hope that I could round this up as quickly as possible. Now, I'll be hearing from Alpha Damon about the events that happened in his pack. I think a first hand account won't hurt. Just as it happened.”
KAYA I was going for the letters like a hungry lion trying to gnaw at their prey. I could see that the pile of letters was reducing. “Have you found anything yet?” “Not at all. Do you think it's here?” From the look of things, I didn't think it was here. “How could this happen? We sent the letters out to everyone. And this is everything right? You're sure none of them went missing?”“Yeah, I'm sure. I asked the guards to put them all in a bag and deliver them together so everything will be accounted for. They didn't lose any.”How then was this possible? I sighed and sat on the chair. I had really high hopes for this plan. This was the only way we'd know who had the symbol. “Or maybe we're not dealing with an Alpha. Maybe we're dealing with a noble man. We didn't send letters to them because we thought it was an Alpha.”No matter how much I thought about it, my mind didn't just lean towards it being a noble man..“I don't know about that but we can try it. I'm not in the mood
KAYA“When he approached us at the bar, he told us that the job he had for us would make us rich and we immediately agreed to do it. He said he needed us to keep secrets and that we have to never tell anyone what we’re doing. Then he said that we had to kill the King.”Nora returned to the room and stood beside me. “What happened after that?”“We didn’t want anything to do with it but he said he’d kill our families if we didn’t do it. So he asked us to meet somewhere and he’ll take care of everything else but we just had to be there. But it neve happened and we were caught.”I was still waiting for him to fill me in but he kept quiet. I was surprised. “Is that all? That’s all the details you have?” He nodded. That’s odd. For a plan as big as killing the King, there should be specifics. I asked that the next person be brought and Miller said the same things. I even had to look through my notes to make sure that I was hearing right and there was nothing new to write down. When Coll
KAYAThe next day, the court opened as soon as the sun was up. There was no sleep for Nora and I last night since we were trying so hard to put forward an argument. Since she was now representing him, I couldn't help her directly because I needed to remain unbiased and uninvolved in all the dealings of both sides. But that didn't mean I was free to sleep. I needed Damien to be free which meant that I had to raise my own questions too. The letters hadn't returned and I was thinking of telling the Court what happened with the prisoner and the letter and all the ways the coincidence just matched up. However, I didn’t know who was the real culprit which meant I couldn’t trust anyone yet until I found answers for myself. Nancy, who was restless , bumped into me when I went to drink water in the kitchen. ‘My Queen, you’re still awake.”“Nancy, I've asked you to call me Kaya and stop bowing to me. Come, let’s go to my waiting room.”I shouldn’t be speaking to her either since she was
KAYANora was representing Damien since no one agreed to represent him knowing that if they lost the trial, then they’d suffer too. I would have done it but it had never been heard of so I asked Nora to do it. We had to plead our case to the Elders. If they saw reasons with us, they would approve his release and then I would too but if they didn’t they would have to bring in the Alphas, which was something i didn’t want them to do. “ My Queen, may I present the initial report regarding his arrest which clearly states that upon his arrest, his apartment was searched and certain things were found. All of which included aconite, the deadliest poisons known to mankind and witches. Imagine what it will do to a wolf. So at that point, it wasn’t an issue of unlawful arrest. There was evidence.”Nora brought the paper to me and I went through it and read all that he had said. “Go on.” “When brought to trial, Damien could not explain why he had the acenite with him in his house. He maintai
KAYAWhen Nora came back with a piece of paper in her hand, I froze. “I think you should see this.”The anxiety in my head didn’t let me move an inch from where I stood.“Where did you find it? Where did he keep it?”“Once, I saw him open a picture and when I asked, he said it was nothing. I think I know why he protected the letter with everything.”When she finally brought the letter over to me, I looked at it. The first thing my eyes noticed was the red crown symbol on the paper. It was even on the seal.The letter read,“Your Majesty,I write to you out of concern for your life. I fear there is a plan against you. They plan to kill you and your entire family just to take over the throne. I’ve managed to track them down after so much effort.”I looked at the description on the paper.“Where is this located? Because I know this is not in our pack.”“You’re right. It’s not.”Something else concerns me. “Nora , whoever sent this letter is the one who asked for me to be killed.That me
KAYAKnowing that it was just a small amount of time before what I'd done spread throughout the whole kingdom, I got to work immediately. After the party, I took Nancy back home and showed her to her room, telling the maids to look after her and make sure she's well rested. That woman had been through a lot. Then Nora and I got to work. “Kaya, do you realize what you're doing? This isn't just any other natural case. This is a case of treason and conspiracy to murder against the King. It's the most sacrilegious offense in the kingdom. Practically releasing an offender involved in this will not go down well.”I knew that it would not go down well and I was ready for the fire that they wanted to bring. “Nora, I have a strong feeling that he's innocent. I don't know why but let's look into it.”“Don’t you think Adrian would have done that when the case was brought to him? I don't really know much about it. All I came to see was him already in jail and I didn't ask questions because th
KAYA“Your Majesty, it's an honor to have you here. I didn't think you'd make it. I was afraid that you might be too busy to have time for a mere Alpha like me. We all know how hard you've been trying to keep this kingdom together.”This was another reason I didn't want to be here. The sucking up was next to none and it sickened me. I didn't even know who this man was.“Then why did you invite me if you knew I wouldn't want to come?”He seemed taken aback by that question.“I just thought it would be lovely to have you here. It's been a while since we've all gathered in a less tense environment.”They were the ones who were making things tense. I just sat back and watched them make fools of themselves.“I’m sure. My Beta would give you what we have brought.”
