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'd made the journey alone. I didn't want to bring anyone into this, especially due to my history with them and also because I knew the journey wasn't going to be an easy one.I wouldn't forgive myself if anyone I brought along got hurt because of me. Nora had wanted to come along and I told her no from the onset and Allister tried his luck.“Guys, it's not an issue of being a lady or not, I just can't take you with me.”“Why?" They'd asked at the same time..“I just can't. I mean, what if something happens to either of you? What will I tell the pack? That I went to see the same witches that were responsible for the death of their former Alpha?”They were hated by the entire pack, not just me.“And what if something happens to you out there? Don't you think they will ask why we didn't go with you?”That sounded like a good thought but it still didn't change my mind.“I'm sorry guys but no, you're not coming with me. Nothing will happen to me, I'm sure of it. And don't even th
ADRIANI didn't bother to cover my eyes as I entered. I'd learnt that the witches weren't meant to be seen by humans and that anyone who looked them in the eye would die.But I had seen them that day, all five of them and I had lived for so many years after that. I didn't speak about it either. There was nothing to say.Why would I boast about seeing those murderers? As I got back home and met with the news of my father's death, I was weak in the knees and unable to cry.I'd just spent a week in the forest, trying to save his life only to come back and see that he'd already died before I got home.The elders had blamed me, telling me that they didn't trust me and they I'd let my father die because I wanted to be Alpha.They wanted to turn the people against me, telling them that I'd been the one to poison my father because I wanted to be Alpha. I had no one on my side and they would have succeeded in their evil plans. If not for that maid.She suddenly went around the entire pack, c
KAYAI didn't even know when I slept off in my chair.By the time I woke up, it was already dark out and I jumped up almost immediately to see that there was no one at my side.At the end of the hallway, Nora and Adrian stood speaking to each other.The looks on thier faces..“No, please tell me she's not dead.”My knees gave in and I fell to the floor. Adrian rushed over.“Kay, Kaya. Take it easy. Just relax, it's going to be fine.”Who did this? How could they do this to her?“She’s not dead. She's in a coma. The doctor said that she's been exposed to the cold so much and after warming her up, she slipped into a coma.”I got up from the floor immediately.&l
KAYA“So tell that woman or whatever she is to wake up from her dreams because there is no way her child will be the King while I'm alive. Get her to do the test and then send her out of my house. I don't care what happens after that.”“Nobody will take Milo's throne. I'm not going to let him become the heir.”I didn't know where this came from but I knew it was from a place of rage and hurt.“Even if you try to think of giving the throne to him, I will kill you and everyone else who stands in my way until my son sits on that throne. That is not a threat. I'm sure you know I can do it.”Since they wanted me to go this far, I would. I wouldn't let anyone treat Milo like he wasn't a part of this family. I knew what he had gone through when this issue initially started.When those low lives decided to come af
KAYAI didn't have the time to waste dragging anything with anyone.All I knew was that at this point, anyone who crossed me would pay for it.All this rubbish that was going on wasn't even on my mind. All I was thinking about was what would happen tomorrow since I didn't leave Adrian.If the person in question even knew what was going on over here, they would not believe it. I'm sure that they would be even interested in hearing the full gist.AIl I wanted was my baby back. If I had her back, she would give me the strength to get through this rubbish that was going on.I knew that Adrian didn't even remember that his child was missing so I would look for my baby myself.Since he seemed to be more preoccupied with the appearance of his so called heir, then I would focus on finding my
ADRIANThey brought her in and I was even scared to look at Kaya.“State your name and your claim. Note that you are befoe the official court so lying or fabricated stories would be duly punished once found out. You may continue.”The fact that she was always so unserious was what repelled me from her. She could never read the room.“Well, Adrian and I-”“I would advise you to refrain from calling the King by his name. No matter what history you have, he is still the King. Continue.”She rolled her eyes as she continued.“Well, the king and I had sex. I got pregnant. This is his son. How hard can that be for anyone to understand?”“Um, young lady. How sure as you that this child belongs to the King? I mean, how do we know that he's not for someone
ADRIANNever in my life did I think that Selena would come back here.I had even forgotten that she existed because she was in my life so long ago and she didn't leave any significant impact.She was just someone who I happened to know in passing.“Nora, I don't know what the hell is going on.”She had a son for me? What happened between us was so long ago that I don't even remember the exact details and I'm still trying to grasp what exactly happened.“Adrian, another woman and another child? I don't even know what to say. I mean, I know you once told me about her but that was so long ago.”“Exactly! That is why I didn't think that she'd come back and say things like this. After that night, I never saw her for once again. I left and I never went back.”
KAYA“This is the last time I'll tell you not to speak to my wife like that. I don't care what it is you have to tell me but I won't take any insults directed at her..do I make myself clear?”She rolled her eyes.“Whatever. I-”“No, that is not what I asked. Do I make myself clear, Selena? I expect an answer like a normal human being.”“Yes. Yes my King. Now can I go on with my explanation on why this kid is yours?”I saw Adrian look at me but I ignored him. He was trying to read my mood, to see if I was still mad at him.I was. And I always will be.“You can continue.”“Thank you. As I was saying, you got me pregnant and this is your son. I mean, look at him. Isn't he a fine young man?”
KAYA“What madness is this? Don't you know where you are? Who are you and what right do you have to touch my husband like that?”The fact that Adrian was just standing there like it was a normal thing pissed me off.She looked at me like I was interrupting something.“And who are you? Did you say your husband? Girl, you must be dreaming. This is Adrian, the King. Adrian, tell me this bitch is lying.”Bitch?“Don’t call her that and yes, she's my wife. Selena, you haven't asnwered my question. What are you doing here? What do you want?”She dropped her little purse on the table.“How could you be married, Adrian? You told me that you wouldn't ever marry and that's why we couldn’t be together. How come you married…this?”&n
KAYAI hadn't checked the back because there was still a lot of space on the front page to write anything.“If you don't leave tonight, get ready to bury your daughter.”My heart sank as I heard that and all of a sudden, my palms become sweaty.“Kaya, it's just a threat. Forget about it. It's nothing. Don't be scared. Nothing will happen to her. I'll put a rush on the fingerprint and I'll get back to you tomorrow okay?”I just nodded as Roy left..I wasn't thinking right anymore. I hoped nothing happened to my daughter.Adrian didn't see that part of the letter.My legs felt weak and I felt nauseous so I just fell to the ground and put my head in my hands.“Kaya, c'mon, you can't do this here. What if someone passes and sees you like this? You're the Q
KAYAHe read the letter.Even though it was short, he took a good couple of minutes reading it and I just stood there looking at him.“You want to leave me?”What??“What? Is that what you got from that? No, I don't want to leave you.””Then why didn't you want to show me the letter? Were you considering it?”I can't believe he was asking me that.“What on earth is wrong with you? Why would you think that? The letter just came for me and I don't know what to make of it. Why're you acting like I'm the only one hiding something?”There was a very deep frown etched on his face.“What are you talking about?”“I'm talking about the sec
