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
ADRIANI woke up very early the next day and got ready. I needed to see Milo today at the hospital.Without even thinking about breakfast, I ran out of the house and got into my car, driving straight for the hospital.He had never had a surgery before and I wanted to ask the doctor how soon his throat could heal because I didn't want to believe that my son would never speak again.They'd told me that some years ago and he had proved them wrong by speaking to me that nightmare so this time around, I knew he was going to prove them wrong again and he was going to speak.I just didn't know when.I didn't know his room number so I stopped at the reception to ask.“Good morning, Alpha. What may I help you with?”“My son's room number. Tell me where he is.”She looked through a computer and raised her head up.“He’s in the children's section. Two floors up, room 32B.”I made my way upstairs, holding his toy train in my hand and also a picture of his mother. As much as I wanted to hate her,
KAYAFive of them stood tall in the darkness, their full length gowns blowing in the wind.I couldn't see their faces but their silhouettes were very outlined by the moon high in the sky.“W-who are you? Are you them? My father's cult?”I heard a laugh.“No, we are not that useless band of vipers. You said you didn't mind staying with witches as long as they were not “weird”, whatever that means. I don't think we are “weird” but we are witches.”What? I didn't mean that. I didn't mean I wanted to stay with witches. I was only joking. Why was my life always like this?So this was what Lia meant when she said I shouldn't be scared.If she could send these people to me, why couldn't she lead me back to Adrian's pack.Gosh, I hated myself.“So are we going to go or we're going to stand here all night.. it's going to rain very soon..”“Shall we?"That question was thrown at me. At this point,. I didn't have a choice. If I stayed out here, that meant i was fine with getting wet and not eati
KAYASo maybe I'd made a mistake.Quinn was right. These woods were scary. Very scary and I couldn't even walk without looking over my shoulder to check for what was behind me.I should have just waited for a new day before leaving but I decided to leave when the day was almost over and that was the worst.Naturally, I was afraid of the dark and now to make matters worse, I had to walk in these woods by myself.“Do you wish you had listened to her now?”I sighed in relief when I heard Lia's voice.“Took you long enough to come. I was beginning to lose it out here.”She laughed.“You’re supposed to be the special wolf. How can you be scared of darkness?"I shrugged.“I don't know. I'm just glad you're here. The least I need right now is company. Just be here and help me.”“Do you even know where you're going? You have no one other than him."I knew that but I didn't want to think about it. I hated the fact that I had nowhere to go.“You should have just let Quinn help you.”I wanted to
KAYA“Why would this happen, Nora? I mean, I didn't mean for it to happen. I would never put him in danger on purpose.”“It’s okay. I know. I know."“Then why?” I swiped the tear away from entering my mouth ”Why would this happen? I told the maids not to make it a chocolate cake but she didn't listen. I swear I told her."She used her sleeve to clean the tears away from my face.“I know, Kay. I've told him that myself. Trust me, I know you will never do that on purpose. And I tried to tell him that but right now, I don't think he would listen to what I have to say.”“Is what he said true? Will Milo never truly speak again?”She looked at me without answering and I knew the answer already.There was nothing I was going to say at this time that would make Adrian listen to me. It was obvious that he was very angry and he wasn't going to heed to anything that any one said.He said I had an hour so I stood up and cleaned my face, putting the last of the decorations into the bag.“Where are
KAYAI wanted to go after them but I couldn't.I just knew that I couldn't. Nora went after him though and I just stayed there so going what the hell I was going to do.Why would I make chocolate cake when I knew he was allergic to it?I kept thinking back to that day and wondering if I truly told Belle about it and I was sure I did. I would never try to put his life at risk.Tears rolled down my eyes and I wondered if he was going to be okay. I left the room and went to the kitchen, to look for Belle so she would tell me why in the world she would make a mistake like this when I'd told her not to.I didn't find her so I asked one of the maids.“Belle? She resigned this morning.”“Resigned? What do you mean by " resigned?"Of course, I knew what resigned meant but right now, my brain wasn't comprehending anything.“I mean, she quit.”“Wait, but why? I mean, I just saw her this morning."She shrugged.“I don't know. But I knew she was in a hurry. She didn't even finish clearing out her
ADRIANI ran all the way to the hospital, stopping on the road to make sure that he was still breathing.His face that was once red was now pale and his lips were blue.As soon as the doctor sighted us, a stretcher was brought and they took him in.I was going to go after them but a nurse stopped me.“Alpha, you need to stay here. When the doctor is done, he'll let you know.”How could I stay calm?Nora placed her arm on my shoulder.“Adrian, you need to calm down. He's going to be okay. The doctors are doing the best they can.”My son was in there and he could not breathe and they were telling me to be calm. After pacing the corridor for half an hour, I finally sat down and placed my head in my hands.What if something happened to him?What if he didn't make it?When I found out about his allergy was the day that I'd offered him a bar of chocolate and he'd almost died.That day, the doctor told me that if I hadn't brought him in earlier, he would have been dead in a couple of minutes
KAYAI'd almost forgotten about Milo's birthday. Belle was the one who had come to remind me that his birthday was the next day and I quickly started putting things together.Since I needed to get him out of the room and I couldn't find Adrian around for the life of me, I ended up sending him to Nora's room.I didn't know where Adrian had gone to and when I asked Nora about it, she just said that he had business to take care of. When I asked when she would be back, there was no reply. I hadn't laid my eyes on him since that day out at the garden when he said he wanted to speak to me.I'd gone out to look for him later that evening so we could finally talk but I didn't find him because they'd told me that he stepped out.So I sent Milo to Nora's room. He asked why he was going there and I told him that there was a big bug in his room.Surely enough that seemed to work but he said Nora had to stay with him.. so that night, Nora couldn't help me with the decorations but I got a maid to d
KAYAI couldn't believe what I'd just heard.Adrian was my mate. All this time, the man I'd been looking to fall in love with ew she man I'd actually fallen in love with.What were the odds? I just stood there and stared at him with tears in my eyes. From the way he looked at me, I was sure that he knew too.I shifted back and quickly put on my second shirt that had been worn under the first one and ran to him.“Adrian, we're mates.”I was so happy so I pulled him in for a hug, thanking the goddess for not letting me meet some psycho who probably didn't know how to treat women.I'd met Adrian who had saved me from my father and who was the reason for my joy.The man I'd been looking for all this time was right before me and I had no idea.One of my main reservations about what Adrian and I had was that I wondered what would happen when he finally found his mate.I'd wanted to speak to him about it at some point but he brushed it off, saying that it didn't matter because nothing was go
KAYA“Hey, wake up!”I didn't move at first because I was so tired, I'd spent the entire day moving around town trying to get items to decorate Milo 's room.I'd thought that his favorite color was blue so I bought everything in that color only for Nora to suddenly remember that it's not blue, it's green. So we had to go back to all of the stores and swap everything from blue to green.Then after that, I had to think of a good birthday present for him. I hadn't seen Adrian for a couple of days now and I couldn't ask him what Milo liked.And I didn't want to ask Milo either because I wanted it to be a surprise. So I just moved around, trying to pick one exact thing that would make him happy.“You look even more confused than I am and I'm the one thinking.”She looked up from the kids' items in the store.“So, you'll have to do this everyday if you want to shop for your kid? I don't think I want kids.”I looked at her.“What? They're amazing, they're like mini versions of you."She
