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“Nora, please let me go. I should be the one apologizing and not the other way around. Adrian entrusted him in my care and I got him injured so I should be the one begging. Not you, not him.”It had been a week since they'd kept me in this hospital. My hand had healed since the day after I broke it but I didn't want to tell anyone or take off the cast because I knew that would raise suspicions.The only person who knew about me and my secret was mad at me so basically, I was stuck wearing a cast I didn't need.”Has he woken up? Milo, I mean. Is he okay?”She nodded and placed her hand on mine.“He’s fine, Eve. He's responding to treatment and he's going to be okay. It's you I'm worried about. It's you I'm scared for.”I laughed lightly to put her off her worries.“I’m fine, Nora. Really, I'm okay. Do I look like I'm sick?”She opened her mouth but didn't say anything at first.“Nora, what happened that day?”I should have known this question would come up.”I don't know. After yo
KAYAJust as I'd hoped, he wasn't in the room when I went there.My heart was already beating so fast, wondering what on earth I was going to say if I saw him there.Should I start with how sorry I was or maybe I should start with he fact that I didn't mean for any of this to happen.The fact that he had already been on the edge because of how far my father was going to make sure that his other packs were wiped out, I knew it was just a matter of time before he started hating me.I mean, seeing the damage that had been caused by my father and his cult, and the fact that now, his son had been injured because my greedy sister had come all the way here to kill me, even a saint would be mad.So right now, I didn't even blame him if he treated me differently. Everyone had the right to be mad and this was his time.I slowly entered and slid through the door, meeting with Milo 's eyes in an instant. I could see that he wanted to come down from the bed and rush over to me but I stopped him i
ADRIAN“You’re sure the wolves are from Hank's pack?”Nora nodded.“Yes, I know the scent anywhere . Besides, I saw her sister before she shifted."Her sister. Serena.So she followed her all the way here just to cause trouble for her and kill her.Nora was right, Milo was not the target, She was. What exactly did she want from her this time around?She had left the pack for her so why did she come after her?“But don't you think it's strange that she came here on that day?. Why hasn't she come here since?”I looked up from the work in front of me.“What do you mean?”“I mean, she knew that Kaya was here all along so why did she take so long to come here?"She asked the question like she wanted an answer but right now, I wasn't thinking in that direction. I just wanted to deal with the people who injured my son.“I don't know, Nora. I'm not in the mood to play detective.”She rolled her eyes.“Maybe it's because she has someone giving her information on the inside.”“What?" That was t
HANKHow dare they?!How could they do this to me? After so many years of being with them, I've been loyal and faithful to them. Even though I had so many chances of betraying then, I didn't.But they felt they could do this to me and get away with it?I recounted the conversation in my head.“How far have we gone with tracking down the wolf? I mean, no one is talking about it.”Everyone turned to look at me and I thought I said something.“What did I say wrong?"The grandmaster spoke up.“Did you attend the last meeting?”“I didn't. Was something said? Have we found them?”Excitement bubbles in my stomach.I heard someone scoff but I ignored it.“Well, since you have proven yourself to be unloyal to this brotherhood, we can not grant you the privilege of taking the powers of the wolf."I laughed.“That has to be a joke, right? Tell me it's a joke.”“It’s not a joke, Hank. You weren't present at the last meeting, you haven't raised a pack in decades, there's nothing to show for your p
HANK“Do you know how impossible that is? Killing Alpha Adrian? He's basically untouchable!”“I thought you wanted to prove yourself." One bastard sneered and everyone else laughed.I ignored them. When I finally got my powers, they were going to be on their knees begging for me.“But grandmaster, you know how he is. He is heavily protected and I can barely even enter his pack. How am I supposed to kill him?”“I don't know, Hank.. you were the one who wanted the special wolf's powers so and so why can't you work for it? You should know that nothing good comes easy. Everyone who has those powers paid a heavy price for it so why shouldn't you?”I looked at each of them.“A heavy price? What price?"He continued.“I gave up my family before I became grandmaster. I was the one who set fire to the house while they all slept and I still hear their screams till this day. Luke there had to give up his three day old child. Malcom will never have kids, Ezra can not show his face in front of wom
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
KAYANora helped me grab the first aid box and as soon as I put the soaked cotton wool to her skin, she turned around and looked at me like I had betrayed her. “I’m sorry, I'm sorry. I'll soon be done.” I threw that one out and went in another time with another soaked cotton wool. She didn't flinch for that one. “Well, that means I can't put on another diaper for her.”I just put a bandage over the wound and put on another diaper. “Who helped her get dressed today?”“I don't know, I'm guessing it's a maid. she was already dressed by the time. I went to pick her up.”Since I wasn't exactly having anything to do outside the house, I'm guessing I would be spending a lot of time inside. Sandy and Alisha were coming over. “I’ll be at home today so I'll take care of her. Are you going out?” She shrugged. “I don't know yet. Adrian might want me to do something for him today.” Adrian…“Okay then. Please call Sandy and Alisha to check again if they're still coming. I don't want to spen
KAYAI slept in my room alone again today.Right now, I wasn't fighting with Adrian but I didn't want to be in the same room as him. Because no matter how much I tried to avoid it, we would most definitely fight.And right now, I didn't have the strength or will power to get into a fight with him. He however, didn't understand what I was trying to do.He wanted to fight. And I didn't.So he came to my room that night to look for me.I didn't even know it was him. I thought it was Milo who had come to tell me that Lana had fallen asleep. I had to leave her with him because I was falling asleep and since she still had so much energy in her, he took her.“Come in!” I simply shouted without even turning aroud.When I heard the door opend and shut, I close
