KAYAPractice ended earlier today. Nora looked so tired so she let us go an hour before the usual time.As we walked out, I just hoped that Adrian won't come in and tell them to practice.I went back to my room to take a shower and get breakfast. I was so hungry because I had skipped dinner last night.Adrian and I had gone for a walk and it lasted till one in the morning. By the time we got back, the maids had gone to sleep and we were the only ones walking around the house like thieves.I just decided to go to bed while Adrian said he had some work to catch up on.The doctor for Milo's speech classes was coming by today and he was nervous. He didn't want a repeat of what happened the last time.He didn't want Milo to become scared of the doctor because he could see that the doctor could actually help him.I really looked forward to hearing his voice one day so I assured him that I'll be there with Milo when the doctor comes.I felt good that Milo felt more at ease when I was around.
KAYA“Hi Mrs Norton.” Nora knocked on the front door.When there was no answer she turned to me.“She has OCD so things are done a bit differently."“Isn't that like being obsessed with cleaning or things like that?"She shook her head.“No, it means this.”She raised her hand to knock again.“Hi Mrs Norton."And again.“Hi Mrs Norton.”The door suddenly opened and an elderly woman stood in the doorway. Her bright orange hair caught my eyes first, contrastes by her beautiful green eyes.“Beta, I've been expecting you. Do come in."As she walked away, Nora gave me the explanation I'd been waiting for.“Things have to be done in threes or else, she feels bad things would happen.”Wow, that was… something.We entered the house and I was blown away. The first thing I noticed was how everything was grouped in threes.Three chairs. Three flower pots. Three pictures on the wall.She came from the kitchen, holding a tray that held coffee and biscuits for us. They smelled freshly baked.“Who’s
KAYANora left us behind, walking ahead while Luke and I walked behind.“Your friend calls you Kay, though. Why won't you let me call you that?”I didn't want to tell him that it was because we weren't friends yet but after thinking about it and coming up with no other tangible reason, I had to tell him that.“I just met you today and we're not friends yet. I can't exactly give you such liberty yet.”That fully, he didn't push it and we walked like that in silence until we got home.“This is the Alpha's house. Do you work here?"I laughed lightly and shook my head.“No, I live here.”“Really? Are you his sister?"Far from it. What exactly am I?“I’m his friend.”That seemed to work. I hadn't exactly thought about it before.“What about her? Is she his friend too?”To answer his question, a few guards walked past us and greeted us.“Good day Beta. Good day Luna."My mouth dropped. What the hell was going on? Since when did they address me as Luna?“T-that's not me. I'm not the Luna.”H
ADRIANI was in my office when the guard knocked and walked in without waiting for a response.I was steady to give him a stern reprimanding.“Alpha, the doctor is here.”I dropped what I was doing immediately and rushed upstairs. Milo was very terrified of the doctor that as soon as he saw him, he would start crying.Thankfully, I met him at the stairs and stopped him just in time.“Hey doc. How about I go see him first before you see him?”He nodded and I entered Milo's room. He ran to me and I picked him up.“Hey, big boy. Uh, you know I told you the doctor was coming over right? He's here now.”I said his mood dropped but he quickly nodded and signed okay.That was my son, such a strong boy.I went back to the door to tell the doctor to come in.He stood at the door first.“Hello Milo."Milo gave him a small wave.“Can I see that?" He pointed to Milo's favorite toy train.To this day, I don't know why he likes that train the most but I remember the day it got lost under his bed. I
KAYAI couldn't blame him for the way he'd reacted. I'd messed up.I should have known better than to leave the house when I knew Milo would need me.It had been five days since Adrian said those words to me and I couldn't get them out of my mind.It was like he was right in front of me, repeating them over and over again when I wanted to forget them.I felt so bad about what happened that I kept apologizing to Milo when he came to look for him. I couldn't go to his room for fear that Adrian would catch me there and he wouldn't be happy about it.Nora said she'd speak to him but I didn't want her to. It would seem like I'd sent her to him and I didn't want any more trouble than I had already gotten.All I did was go for practice and come back into my room and stay locked up all day.To make matters worse, I'd been in my room when I'd heard a knock.I knew Milo didn't knock, he just entered like he owned the room which I was fine with so I'd hoped that it was Adrian.My mood dropped wh
THIRD PERSON POVThey needed to find the special wolf before the next full moon which would be in three weeks.If they didn't at least know where she was, then they would be doomed. The window of opportunity was open for them, they just had to use it properly.The Grandmaster had called a meeting that night to inform them that they all had to sacrifice something for them to successfully locate where the wolf was.They didn't actually have to sacrifice anything. Since they joined the brotherhood, they had been giving up something they loved or having to do something they didn't want to do.It was all in his bid to live long. He hadn't been told beforehand that the Grandmaster had to make sacrifices over and over to keep his position.If he could make them, then he would be killed but he couldn't do that. He knew his father had killed his mother to keep his position.How could he not know?He had been there that night. He had been the one to bring the knife.He didn't want to kill his m
KAYA“Where’s Adrian? Is he coming for practice?” I asked Nota as we walked together to get water.She shook her head while drinking.“He’s traveled. He had work in another pack and he had to leave.”My mood fell when I realized that he actually didn't say anything to her and just left.But she had another fear.“No, he didn't take Milo.” Nora read my mind and answered.I just nodded and acted like it didn't bother me but it did. When was he going to be back?We got back to practice and I didn't feel like doing anything anymore. It had been almost two weeks and he still hadn't spoken to me. I was very anxious about him saying something to me because I needed him to.After practice, I bumped into Allister on my way to the room.“Kaya, wait up. Adrian said I should give you this.”He stretched out a small gift bag and I wondered what it could be. Adrian gave me a gift?I thought he was mad at me.It was a phone.“To be used only for emergencies. He's really busy over there and he doesn'
KAYAShe didn't say anything to me. But the way she looked at me formed a knot in my stomach and it didn't just sit well with me.She's been acting off lately and she didn't bring my breakfast up anymore, she never responded when I said hi to her.Before I could walk up to her to ask her if there was a problem, she walked away like she didn't see me.Seeing that Milo was still shaking, I decided to deal with that later and take him upstairs.He was sobbing quietly when I dropped him on the bed.I pulled him closer to me, placing his head on my chest.“It’s okay. Nothing will happen, I'm here. Daddy's here.”I rubbed his back until I felt his tremors start to soften, and then he finally went quiet.I knew Naya wasn't exactly a nice person but why would she extend such a disgusting attitude to her nephew? Didn't she feel bad for him that both his biological parents were gone?Shouldn't she be the one taking care of Milo like he were hers? Or what exactly could he have done to her for h
KAYA “Miller, who did this to you?” He looked down at his chest. “I don't want to talk about it.” I'll ask Kyle about it. “Can I get that necklace you're wearing?”He touched it. “No, Kyle gave it to me. He said that I must never take it off.”“That’s okay, Kyle won't know. I won't tell him. I just find it very pretty and I need to take a picture of it. I'll take care of it, I promise.” He slowly took it off and handed it to me. “Are you really going to kill me?”“Oh no honey, I won't. I just said that to get Kyle to give me what I want.”“He’s a really good brother.”They were brothers?! “Miller, is Collins your brother too?” He nodded. It made sense now why there had to be a leader in the pack and why they were all so tight knit. “Thank you for your help, Miller. I'll return these to you as soon as possible.”I told the guards not to take him back to the cells because I didn't want Kyle to see him yet. “Soak these in blood and bring them back to me. We have a show to put
KAYA While Nora was gone, I had to do something for myself. She was out there trying to gather resources and I needed to gather mine too. The only resources at my disposal right now were the ones down there in the dungeons. I'd decided not to go ahead with the executions because as much as they annoyed me by not saying anything, I needed them. Those kids were the only ones who knew who had sent them and who was the person behind the red crown. Milo wanted to come down with me but he hadn't been down here before and this wasn't the place for kids to come. Eventually, he would get the chance to come down here but not yet. I didn't think I would be coming down here any time soon but here I was. The guards led me to their different cells. I'd separated them so they won't have the chance to corroborate their stories. I didn't need them ganging up against me. The first stop was at Kyle's cell. He seemed to be the stronger one between the three of them. He was going to be the hardes
KAYAThankfully, we finished setting up the decorations last night. Everything was in place by the morning and I went with Milo and Nora to wake the twins up with the happy birthday song. I knew they were already awake because as we entered,I saw Lorian moving and Adrian giggled. After the song, they hopped off the bed and ran over to blow the candles. “Happy birthday, my little princess. I can't express how much I love you and how much joy you bring to me.”Of course, Milo has to interrupt the moment. “You're finally ten, which means I get to chase you around the house with knives and mum can't say anything about it.”I didn't understand where that was coming from. “Even when they're old and wrinkly, no one will be chasing anyone with knives. There's no age limit for that.” Of course, they had to use my own words against me. “But you said that Milo can chase us when we become ten. We're ten today, mum.”When did I say that? I don't remember saying that but with these kids, I
KAYA “What is the meaning of this symbol, Collins? What are you not telling me?”He looked like he was trying to fight with himself. “I was supposed to burn that.”It was meant to be a whisper but since the court was quiet, it was audible. “Why should you have burned it, Collins? Were we not supposed to see this?”“It was none of your business. You're going to get us killed!” Well, that's what I wanted to hear. “Not before I kill you first. Listen to me, do you think that I can ask the guards to throw a dagger at you and kill you on the spot? Do you think anything is stopping me?” Who were they working for that made them so scared to even cough? He didn't say anything. “Very well then, schedule their execution to happen tonight. If they don't want to be useful, then I'll do away with them. Get him out of my sight.”As the guards dragged him out, an unsettling question rested in my mind. Who was behind all this? The person had gone through a whole lot just to set things in m
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
