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
KAYAHe was back on his feet so we played around all day. He was the one who had woken me up this morning and I was so surprised that I didn't think about it again before jumping out of bed to play with him.I had breakfast with him and went to freshen up before I went to look for him in his room so that we could start our day together.My mind was filled with whether Adrian would come back into the room and see me with him. I wasn't doing anything wrong but I still couldn't help but feel like I was.I decided not to think about it and just enjoy my time with Milo .It felt good to see him running around again. He had to be in bed rest according to the doctor's orders so that his surgery scars could heal.He was a very strong boy so in no time, he was fully healed and ready to run around again. Whenever I looked at him, there was this warm feeling that spread across my stomach and I was filled with so much happiness.The door opened and my heart sank, thinking it was Adrian who had
ADRIANMaybe it was the anger that was already bubbling in me from having to deal with Hank and that daughter of his but I had taken it out on Kaya.I didn't mean to say that to her but I had already said it and I couldn't take it back.As soon as I slammed the fork in her face, I suddenly came back to my senses and I just stood there, wondering what I had just done .I mean, I was mad at her but I knew I had gone too far. I didn't mean to tell her to stay away from him, I knew that they couldn't do without each otherMaybe I should tell her that I didn't mean it.. but then, she would think that I wasn't mad at her. And I didn't want her to think that.When I saw her, I actually wanted to wrap my arms around her and pull her in for a hug since I hadn't held her after what happened.Nora told me how shaken up she was and I could see it . After what she did that day at the hospital, I knew she needed to review from certain trauma and I felt very bad that I wasn't able to help her go thr
KAYAI stayed away just like he'd asked me to.I barely came out of the room for fear of seeing him. The embarrassment that would wash over me would be too much to handle and I didn't want it.Milo found his way to me though and it broke me to have to send him away, saying that I was sick and I didn't want him to catch it.It was the worst thing lying to a child who most definitely knew that I was lying to him.He didn't even wait for me to come to him anymore, he made his way to my room every morning and he was always the one to wake me up.The smile on his face always fell as soon as I told him that he should be in bed and not here. If Adrian came and found him here, I would be in trouble.This time around, he didn't leave peacefully as usual. He took a few steps back and looked at me closely.”Don’t you want to be my friend anymore?” He sighed.“That’s not it. It's just too early for be out of bed and your father might not like it if he sees you here by this time."He ran out of th
KAYAI watched her as she walked away, not knowing what exactly to say.My head cleared and I just stood there, replaying her words in my head. Had I heard right?She was behind the attack. Tears gathered in my eyes and I wondered if I should go after her and ask her to explain herself.Why did she have to go that far just to get back at me?Why did she have to do that?If she wanted to kill me, she could have just come up to me and done it without having to put Milo's life at risk. What if something had happened to him?What if Adrian hadn't come there in time and I had no place to go?Tears fell from my eyes and I slowly made my way upstairs to my room. I wanted to be alone for now, training could wait.If anyone should ask me why I was crying, I wouldn't know what to tell them so it was best that I just went to my room.As I climbed the stairs, I bumped into someone again. What the hell was with me and bumping into people today?Since my head was bent down as I didn't want them to
KAYAHaving Adrian back into the house seemed surreal. Seeing him walking along the hallways or hearing his voice with the kids when I walked into the room still seemed new. Damien had been able to track Thomas down and he dragged him in by the hair and dropped him on the floor. “Did anyone order one scumbag? Found him trying to cross the border.”I had nothing to say to him. I called for the guards to take him out. “Put him in the same cell as Damon. I'm sure they'll keep each other company. Damon has a lot he needs to say to him.”I could see the fear in his eyes as he heard his name. I knew it. He was a coward who hid behind his mind games. “As for the boys, they're okay. All three of them are downstairs.”That's good. I was beginning to fear that he would go too far because he was desperate. “Wait, all three of them? Kyle isn't dead?” I brushed past him and almost ran downstairs, trying to make sure that he wasn't playing with me. True to his word, Kyle was standing there
KAYAAdrian and I walked behind him, making sure that he didn't do anything stupid.The reason why I believed his bomb threat was because if he could bug the house without me knowing just so that he could find out info about what was going on, then he'll surely do all he can so that he'll get what he wants. And I wasn't going to gamble with anyone's life.“When are you going to drop the remote? You don't want to leave with it, do you?”Thomas turned around.“What do you want to do with it?”“That has nothing to do with you. You get to leave so I get the remote. I can't trust you.”“You know I can change my mind and press the button. Then, you'll lose everything.”That was a threat.“As long as you go down with me.
KAYAWhat were the odds, what were the odds of Adrian waking up today?If he wasn't standing behind me, I would have said there were a million to one. But those odds didn't seem so anymore.My husband who had been out for seven months had suddenly woken up.My heart was racing fast and the arm pointing the gun at Thomas was shaking because I wanted to put it down and hug my husband.But that's what got us in this mess in the first place, one moment of weakness.Just then, I felt his voice in his ear and it sent shivers down my spine.“Kaya, listen you can put it down. I'm here and I'm not going anywhere. The guards are going to arrest him now.”I saw him speaking to Magda, telling her to drop the gun if she didn't want it used on her. My brain was sti
ADRIANThere was something heavy on my hand. I could hear voices around me but this time around, it was hard for me to make them out. Even though I wasn't awake, I could hear everything that was going on around me and I could feel everything too. I just couldn't move or open my eyes. But not this time. This time, I opened my eyes and stared at the ceiling, breathing heavily and finally feeling less trapped in my own body. I looked around the room and my kids were there. I heard the cooing of a baby and I knew that it was Lana that was by my arm. I wanted to move so that they'd know I was awake but for a moment, I could. Milo was speaking to the twins about something but I could make out what he was saying. My body was sore, which was expected. I didn't even want to know how long I'd been out. It was hard for me to move but I had to. All my joints cracked like I was a mummy just rising up from the dead. And Milo sure as hell looked at me like that. “Dad!” The way he crashed
KAYAI gave Magda back her phone..“Please, excuse me. The maids will get you some tea and we'll find you a room so you can stay for the night. I don't want you going back home tonight.”Nora was standing outside when I left the room. “Nora, send guards to stand in front of Adrian’s room. No one goes in or out. Take all the kids and put them there.”I ran to my room. A few years ago, Milo had given me some weapons to protect myself and I took them out and put them in my belt. “Kaya, what's going on? Do you know who he is?”“I’ve been so stupid. I've been ignoring what has been right in front of me and I didnt-”Tears didn't even let me finish what I was going to say. They choked my throat and did my let me breathe. “Kaya, please calm down. Tell me what is going on?”“That bastard is the doctor! The doctor that I gave the permission to treat Adrian is the one behind everything.”The picture that Magda had shown me was not very clear but it was just clear enough for me to see who h
KAYAI told Milo about the plan and we entered the room. “I can't believe he made a mistake like that. How stupid was that? If he had taken another route at this, then maybe it would appear smarter. But this, is just stupid.”I didn't know where exactly In the room the camera or bug was so we just stood in the middle. “Stella really helped us out. She didn't leave any detail out in her confession. So who do you think her boyfriend is? Of course, Elias is not his real name. I'm not stupid enough to believe that.”Nora opened the door and walked in. “What are you guys doing here? Kaya I finally trac-”“Nora, don't you think that it's weird though? Going for a girl like Stella? Just shows how much he had no class. A maid like Stella? Tch.” If he knew that we had Stella in our custody, maybe he'll see that he had been cornered. “Have the guards lock her up and beat her until she tells us where he is. If that bloody bastard doesn't show up, kill her. He'll show up one way or another.”
KAYA “The maid that takes care of Lana. I bumped into her and it fell to the floor. It seemed like she had been reading it and I saw it when I bent to pick it up.”Lana's maid? There were three maids that took care of Lana. “I saw some content of the letter. Something about a tux. I didn't see it well because she snatched it from me and walked away immediately like she was on fire. I just figured it was something personal.”A tux? Why would he want anything to do with a tux? Maybe Milo didn't see it properly. “Wait Milo, did you say a tux?” He nodded. “Kaya, the toxins. The ones the doctors spoke about. Milo didn't see “tux.” He saw “toxin”. She's the one who's been-”I shook my head to stop her from talking. I hadn't told the kids about Adrian's poisoning yet. She's the one who had been poisoning him. “Get all the maids that take care of Lana and bring them here. I don't care if you have to wake everyone in the kingdom up.” Nora left and I decided to tell Milo what was go
KAYAI now believed when Nora said that the house had been bugged.We figured that they might be somewhere in the woods. Besides, that's the only place that Kyle would be able to grab a flower.So we decided to search the woods for them..it was actually quite hard to move around because the forest was very thick and it was almost impossible to cut down the vines that were hanging around.We walked around for a while until we finally saw a house in the woods. That's very strange and there was smoke coming out of the chimney so I knew that someone was at home.We approached the house quietly, surrounding it and bursting in immediately to meet an empty house.The men went in to search the inner rooms and they came back with nothing. How could this happen? Or did we come to the wrong place?“M
KAYAThe pieces are slowly coming together. They were still all over the place but at least, we had information. We cleared the board that we had used for Damien's case. “So Kyle said that he had a tattoo on his wrist and that he smelled like rubbing alcohol. Both of which Damon confirms although Damon does not know the smell.”We pinned those two facts to the wall. “We know he needs blood. I heard from Damien that he threw the throne because Nancy needed blood and Damon asked for the throne in exchange. Damon is one of the few people who have rare blood. But what would he need that much blood for? A pint every three days is a lot.”“Not if he has a blood disease of his own. He may need it for himself or for someone close to him.”Hmmm, maybe. We pinned that to the board too. “He also said that he smelled like the King. Does that mean he's close to Adrian? He goes into Adrian's room?” I could see in her face that she didn't agree with me. “We don't know how long ago he smelled
