Adrian They say you learn new things everyday but I never thought I'd get to see a wolf treat their own child like this. As I watched the way these people treated her, it drove me crazy because they were the ones who were supposed to be protecting her. Lycans valued their children, they loved and died for them but it obviously wasn't applying to these people. They treated her like a slave not worthy to stand before them. Her father just stood there in silence, not saying anything to defend her while the girl, Serena, just kept feeding him with lies. What good father would stand still and watch as his daughter is hit by another man in his presence but he didn't even move an inch. I would have ripped his hand off first for calling me a rogue, then for having the guts to raise his hand on her. But I couldn't blame him, he didn't know I was an Alpha. But I was a King only in my Kingdom and by Red Moon rules, Kaya and I should be sentenced to death. This was one of the rules that was
Adrian If the members of my pack saw me right now, a war would break down. Their King, shackled and bound like a prisoner. I'd reached out to Nora through the mind link and she was furious. The first thing she asked me was how the hell I got there in the first place and frankly, I didn't even know. I just have been so out of it while running that I didn't know when I crossed our lands into theirs. Anyways, I told her that I'd explain later and she should just make my identity known before they hung my neck from a guillotine and Serena would have her long term wish if seeing Kaya die. No, I couldn't allow her to die. “Hey Asher!” There was no response. “Wake up, you lazy shit.” I called to my wolf, whom I named after Asher when he died. “First off, I wasn't asleep. Secondly, that's a very offensive thing to say to your best friend.” “Whatever. Where were you when I needed you? We should have fought off those guards and maybe then, we won't be in this mess! We're locked up, Asher.”
Adrian I pushed open the wooden door, the bright light being the first thing hitting my eyes, in contrast to the darkness in the dungeons. Nora stood up immediately, bowing her head to me and there seated on the couch like little rats were the rest. Alpha Hank was the first to kneel, then his daughter followed reluctantly. That toad that slapped Kaya was next. I wanted to deal with him myself and I hoped that I got the chance. He actually dared to lay a hand on what was mine. Not only did I find it disrespectful, I saw it as a threat. He wanted to see what I could do. Ignoring them, I walked past them and went to sit on the couch, taking off the clothes I was wearing. Due to the scuffle out in the woods, I was wrapped in mud and dirt. ”I brought you these.” Nora handed me my royal attire asn I almost smiled. She knew all the right things to do. When I was fully dressed, I addressed the unfortunate situation before me. “Jeez, how the hell do I handle this trash?”Hank was an A
KAYA “Do you want to keep staying here? With them?” I looked at Adrian who was now on his feet, just a few meters away from me. I'd have to be foolish to agree to that. These people had made my life a living hell and I had looked forward to the day I'd get away from them. For the years following my mother's death, I'd lived at their mercy like some slave looking up to her master just to see the next moment. My father was looking at me with wide eyes, like he hoped I'd say yes. He had always been delusional. Always refusing to see the big picture. That was why my mother died. When she was sick, he was the one who refused to take her to the hospital because according to him, werewolves never got sick. I had a bad feeling about her illness and I begged him to get the pack doctor but he refused. Now, he wanted me to stay back so that he and his golden daughter and her boyfriend would continue to mistreat me. No way. “No. Over my dead body.” That finally got a reaction from Jackson
ADRIAN “How do you know that when you haven't spoken to her yet?”Did I really have to speak to her? If she had something to say, she would have talked since. “Besides, I need to determine if she's worth it. If she's worth loving. I can't just jump right into it again.”I'd made a mistake before and I wanted to avoid making it again. “So, what are you going to do with her?" I looked at her and she was still in that position. What was going through her mind? “She’ll stay with us for now. Since her wolf is hidden, it gives us time to get to know her very well and I'll need to see how she is with Milo.”Milo didn’t like a lot of people. It took time before he got used to Nora and that was one of my greatest fears when thinking about a mother for him. What if he didn't like Kaya? What would I do then? “What the hell, Addy-”“Don’t call me Addy!" I hated it when he called me Addy. Both he and Nora did it to piss me off and it worked every time. “Just admit that she has been everythi
Kaya The lady who I'd come to know as Nora led me into the house, walking ahead of me, giving me time to take in the sight in front of me. Right from the moment I stepped into the house, my mouth had fallen open. This wasn’t a house, it was a palace. It was purely magical, like a place right out of a fairytale. The ceiling was far above us, giving the large chandelier enough space to shine. The ground floor was big, big enough to accommodate the large steps in the middle of it. There weren’t any couches but there were vases and ancient decorations. All these looked very expensive.I’ve never seen any place like this before in the Wolf Kingdom, it’s no wonder they were trying earnestly to take over their kingdom. ‘C’mon. Your room is upstairs.” I looked back at Nora and nodded slightly. “My name is Nora, I’m Adrian’s Beta. I also train the military. I hope we can be friends.” My mouth almost dropped. The Beta wanted to be friends with me…a slave?The fact that she was a Beta was
ADRIAN I went in after them, going straight for the office. During my unfortunate arrest, a couple of incidents had taken place and I needed to attend to them immediately. Allister who was my gamma was already in my office waiting. Actually, he was on the office chair, spinning around and he didn't even notice when I walked in.“I’m so glad I'm back.”He jumped up as soon as he heard my voice.“Alpha, welcome back. The pack was not left unattended while you were away."We both laughed. I need to find a better Gamma. Actually, Allister was the best there was. He was the only guy I was ever close to and he helped me a lot when I needed him to be there. He was also the only one who managed to make me laugh. “Report.”His smile fell.“The Nakashi Cult. We just got word that they have attacked Stormborn Clan and our informant says that before daybreak, Bloodhound would be gone too.”I was shocked to say the least. How was that possible?“How is that possible?" He pulled in the chair
KayaI sat on the floor in utter confusion at Adrian's actions. I rubbed my aching elbow that had broken my fall and prevented me from hitting my face on the floor when he pushed me. ‘What the hell do you think you’re doing to my son?” He was hiding the boy away from me like I had done something wrong. “What do you mean? I wasn’t doing anything, I-” ‘Save it! I knew it was a mistake bringing you here. How dare you touch him?” What was he talking about? I wasn't even doing anything. I was only trying to help. He probably thought I was trying to hurt him. I wanted to explain to him what actually happened but he turned away from me and faced his son who had placed his head on his father’s shoulder. ‘Are you okay? Did she hurt you? Milo?”Milo didn’t say anything but he looked at me with tears in his eyes then looked back at his father. Even though I knew I didn't do anything to him, I couldn’t help but feel scared at what he was going to say.I hadn’t been here for up to half a day
ADRIANIt was like she had developed some kind of power because with the way she was walking, I found it so hard to catch up with her. Even when I tried to hold her hand, she wouldn't let me. “Kay, please wait. Let me speak to you.”If I couldn't hold her hand, I would have to hold her legs because I could let her use anger to ruin this. “What’s the whole point of talking? Do you know how long we've been talking for? There's no use. There's only action now.”Thankfully, Nora appeared since we had passed her room and she had heard the noise. “What is going on?”I had to tell her through a mind link since I couldn't risk anyone else hearing what I had said. The walls had ears. “I knew something was up with the way they just appeared out of nowhere. Where did you get a gun?”I wondered when she had seen a gun in my hand and then I realized that she was speaking to Kaya. I slowly grabbed
ADRIAN I knew that I was the last person that she wanted to see but I still had to go see her. Now that things were finally over, it was the right time to see her. Normally, I should have waited until she got enough sleep so that she won't feel irritated when i woke her up. Her being irritated would just make things harder for us to talk out. But I was already at her door and I couldn't go back. Wait, why couldn't I go back? She doesn't know I'm here yet. Yes, I should let her sleep and then come back in the morning when she's well rested. As I turned my back to leave, I heard footsteps and then the door opened. We ended up looking at each other for a while before I came closer to the door. “Hey, I thought you'd be asleep and I didn't want to wake you up.”She looked at me with her eye half open. “No, you knew I was awake. You were scared. Come in.” Of course, she knew. I stepped int
KAYA “You were the one who packed up and left our three day old child in the hospital! You left me for over sixteen years and you think that I won't move on? I shouldn't even be looking for you to begin with but I didn't so that out son will have closure and you blame me for loving a woman who had a very good heart and cared for me?” The whole thing was conflicting because to an extent, I could understand what Alisha has gone through and how that shaped her life but what I couldn't understand was how Lucy got caught in her crazy web. “It doesn't matter if I left. You can't fall in love with my best friend or the woman I've loved for years! Its not fair. On top of all that, you only used me for sex. I hated all of you. I hated you and I hated Tim. But I couldn't hate Lucy. She was just the victim in all of this. I was sure that if she could understand that I truly loved her, then we would be together. She was the only one who only ever understood me. She knew my story, she knew abou

KAYA “What did you just say about Lucy? How can you say that she didn't care about me? You don't know anything about her so you can't say that!” I could have sworn that she was almost shifting with the way she was shouting at me. “You’re right. I may not have known Lucy but I knew that she didn't care about you. Lucy had a husband that loved her dearly and she loved him too. She married him and they left you out of the picture so how can you say she cared about you? Maybe she might have, before you killed her baby but after that, you were nothing to her!”She became quiet, just staring at me like she was just processing that piece of information in her head. “I didn't want to kill that baby but I didn't have a choice. The baby was taking her away from me. She spent all her time singing and taking care of the baby. It was all she talked about! What about me?! I had to do something. I couldn't just let that thing come in and take us apart!”Alisha was sick. I couldn't believe that a
KAYAI hadn't been expecting to see Milo there but I'm guessing that he had enough just as I did. I was going there to tell Adrian how I felt and what would happen to him if he dated to do anything silly but Milo beat me to it. He didn't see me when he came out of the room crying because I hid behind the door but what shocked me was the fact that Adrian sat in that room and did nothing even after Milo told him that he was going to run away. I've already told Adrian what I wanted to say. I didn't want to look for my son. All hell would break loose if I looked for Milo and I didn't find him. Just as I'd planned, court was going to be in session this evening. The elders didn't seem pleased to be here but that had nothing to do with me. Their job description didn't come with a time so even if I called at the butt crack of dawn, they were meant to answer no matter what. As soon as Adrian entered the room and we stood up to bow, it had started. Alisha, Tobias and Tim stood in the mi
ADRIANI looked at the envelope sitting on my table. I hadn't touched it for once since Roy brought it to me last night. Its not like I was scared to open it and see its contents but there was a whole lot riding on what was in the envelope. Everything that has happened in the past few weeks between my wife and I has been because of what was in the envelope. There was a knock on the door and I didn't want to answer it at first because I didn't want to be disturbed but when it came two more times, I didn't have an option but to answer. “Come in!”.Milo walked through and I was so glad that I didn't tell him to get out because my back was turned to the door and I would have said it without turning around. “Good evening, Father.”I looked at his face and saw that there was something wrong so I asked him to sit. He couldn't even look at me. His face was turned to the ground and I wondered what was wrong. “Milo what is it? Why do you look so gloomy?” “How can't I look gloomy when my
KAYAI didn't think we'd catch her. I thought she was dead and that we were going to have to look for another way to get Tim out of jail. But here she was in custody. We took Tobias too because he had a hand in everything. He knew she was alive, he had helper plan her death, he had known that she killed Lucy yet, he didn't say anything. Infact, he even helped her to almost get away with it. So what's yo say that he didnt even help with the murder? We didn't arrest him at the scene though. We didn't want a commotion. People knew him as he commisioner. As we walked over to the car, I could see the relief on Nora's face. “You don't know how happy I am that we're finally done with this. I mean, we caught her. We actually caught her.”I think I'm the happiest. Be she of this case, a lot happened in my family with my husband and kids and I was going to spend a lot of time making it up to my kids for being very absent in a while. As for Adrian, I didn't even know where to start from w
KAYAHe was very much in love with her and felt responsible for what happened with his father and her family. Nora didn't have the patience that I did. She didn't share in his sympathy. The fact that he had hidden these things from us to begin with had made her very skeptical of him. At first, she was the one who thought that we should take him off the list and now, she couldn't even look him in the eye. “Listen, I don't know what it is you think you're doing but if you don't provide Alisha, we will take you down for both murders. Lucy's and hers. We don't care if she's still alive. No one else knows that aside from us. You will go down for both murders.”I needed to close this case fast. We had been on it for long enough and now that we had gotten all out facts, I wasn't about to allow emotions to come in the middle of the truth. Even if I wanted to feel sorry for one of them, Nora, whose heart was non-existent, would correct things. She won't let me use my heart to judge. “What
