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
KAYAHe was trying. He really was and I was so proud of him.Unlike when the doctor came around, he was actually very eager to learn new sounds. Maybe it was because I'd told him that his father would be very happy if he learnt about it when he came back.He wasn't talking yet but at least, he was making an effort.We were still on it when there was a knock on the door.“Come in.”A guard came in and stood in the middle of the room .“There’s someone here to see you." The way he said it sounded off to me.“Who is it?”“Luke."Gosh, I'd really been feeling bad about the way I treated him last time and I'd been wanting to apologize. A lot was going on back then and with Adrian in the house, I really didn't feel comfortable with him around.“Okay, tell him-”“Don’t you dare!"I thought I was losing it so I screamed. Everyone looked at me confused.“Oh, I'm sorry I thought I saw a spider.”“Relax. It's me, Lia. Just tell him that you're busy and you won't be able to go.”I didn't even mov
POVHow dare she?Who the hell did she think she was to speak to me like that? That little wench who had been rescued from her lack of untrained wolves had the guts to look her in the face and say such things to her.Anger boiled within her and she couldn't sit still so she paced around the room, thinking about how to get back at her. She had to pay for the constant embarrassment that she brought on her.She wouldn't accept it . She just couldn't.How would that stupid man that she had paid to kidnap her fail to? She should have known better, she should have just done it herself.I mean, how hard was it to tell her that someone she knew was right outside, asking for her? And how did Kaya even know that he hadn't been saying the truth?Also, how did she know that she had been the one behind the plan? Everything just wasn't making sense.She had thought that she finally found a way to get her out of the way, to make her not exist anymore since her plan with Serena had failed woefully.
KAYAI woke up very early that day. Not by Nora for training but by Lia who wanted to do personal training.“The more understanding you have of your body and your powers, the better it is for you to control me. ““Aren't you the one who controls me?"She laughed.“No, it doesn't work that way. Well, it kind of doesn't. Let's just say it's vice versa. I mean, you have to tell me what to do, I'm just here to guide you through something.”I nodded and she continued.“I'm going to be showing you how to move quickly, wielding a weapon in your hand. And your body movements also have to come from your core, so I'll be teaching you that as well. Then, eventually you're going to have to shift for the second time in order to make things easier and less awkward if the need arises."So basically, I was going to be doing a lot of work on myself. Interesting stuff. I felt very jacked and ready to work because I knew what was coming and I wanted to show my father and his cult that I wasn't going to
ADRIANI woke up that morning with a jolt, my heart thudding loudly in my chest.As I looked around me, I realized that I was in my room.I could have sworn that I was still with those women. How did I end up back here? Or did I die?I had a very bad headache and right now wasn't the time for me to be stressing but I just had to remember how I ended up back hereEventually, it hit me and I remembered them saying that they will help me get back home. It must be so cool to have powers like that. Imagine being able to teleport anywhere.Anyways, now that I was at home, I needed to start working on what they'd told me because it was serious. If those men managed to come here by next week, it would be bloody because even wasn't ready yet.But yes, I'd been jealous when I saw her with that boy. Who was he anyways, he didn't smell like a wolf from my pack but he seemed to know who I was.Whoever he was, he had some guts because for him to come back again with flowers and hug her in my house
KAYA It was the middle of May. Milo had come back home to spend some time with us. After his coronation, he had left the pack to spend time living as a normal person so that he would understand what it means to live among the people. Adrian didn't like it because he felt like Milo could be learning about the kingdom rather than doing all that but the boy's mind had been set. I could understand where they were both coming from but since it was what he wanted, I couldn't stop him and neither could his father. The only condition Adrian gave him was that he would stay with Roy. If he stayed with Roy, then his heart would be more at peace knowing that he was with someone he trusted. Roy loved the idea of Milo being over and so since the beginning of the year, he had been there. When I told him it was his father's birthday, he knew he had to come back. This time around, we didn't want a big celebration. Although since it was an official holiday, the entire kingdom knew and the
KAYA There was finally time for Milo's coronation. We had been putting it off for so long but now, we were going to make it happen. It had taken me a week to make all preparations because I wanted this to be perfect. I'd sent out the invitations earlier to everyone and made sure everything down to the last detail was ready. Milo was very excited about this and I could see how much this meant to him. He and Adrian had been spending the week together because Adrian said it was part of his hazing ceremony to welcome him into the circle of Kings. Unlike the forest his father had left him in for a week to find for himself, he wanted to do things that he hadn't done with Milo before like fishing and hunting. The party was tonight and I just got a call from the tailor that there had been some issues with the clothes. Milo's clothes to be exact. I didn't want to lose it because I knew I had to find a solution one way or another and I had to find it fast. I hurried over to the
KAYATWO MONTHS LATERMaybe I was the one who was mad. Maybe I was losing it. As soon as the maid told me I ran out of my room and went downstairs. The madness in this house had to stop. I had endured tol much from that bitch and maybe she thought that since I was quiet, I was stupid but not again. The kitchen door was locked just as I thought it would be. “Selena! You stupid bitch! Open the door!” I could hear her moving around inside and she laughed. “Oh, I see they came to report to you again. As I told them, I'll be cooking Adrian's food today. I mean, after all. I'm basically just a second wife.”Second wife?! In what universe?! The maids said that before they woke up, she had locked herself in the kitchen and they couldn't even make breakfast for the twins to take to school. “Are you nuts? This is my house and my kitchen! Open the damn door!” “Why don't you kick it o
KAYA When we got to the grave site, we were amazed because it wasn't your normal six feet. “She was claustrophobic. I don't think it'd be fair to give her a tight grave.” We could understand that and we stayed there with him when he said things to her and told her how much he loved her and missed her. It rained earlier that day so maybe that just made the whole thing gloomier. We went back to the house with the guests. The food has been ready since last night and we just stood in a corner while Roy attended to his guests. The kids had to stay upstairs because we didn't want thtme to be down here. It was only Roy's son that was down here. “Thank you so much for coming, everyone. I really appreciate you for being here. My wife would have been so happy to know that there were many people who actes about her. Its just said that it's only at her death that we had this crowd. I don't really have much to say but I l
KAYAWe couldn't stay with Roy even though we wanted to. Adrian was the King, there was no way that he would not sleep in the house. Well, at least that's what Roy had been trying to tell him for the past hour but it was like everything he said went over his ears. He didn't want to hear any of it. “Roy, this is not just a condolence visit. It's a friendly visit. You've been my friend for years and you don't expect me to go home when you need me. I need to stay here with you.” Roy looked drained. I didn't like that Adrian was arguing with him but then again, Adrian wasn't going to stop until he got what he wanted. He turned to me for help and all I could do was just stare at him. “Kay, please say something.”I didn't want to tell him not to worry because there was nothing that he was going to say that would make Adrian change his mind but I didn't say that. I also know that it was a technique to take Roy's mind
KAYAThe morning came with bad news. I was still in bed when Lorian came to wake me up that Adrian and Nora were going out. At first, I didn't understand what he was talking about because I was so sleepy. Adrian had kept me up late last night talking and talking and making sure that I had forgiven him. I picked up my robe and ran out of the room because he was dragging me out. Luckily, I got outside before the car drove off. “Adrian, what's going on? Is everything okay?”He turned around to look at me. “Roys wife is dead. We just got a call now. We're going there to see him. I didn't want to wake you up.”The words couldn't form in my mouth. I just stayed there and stared at him. Roy's wife is dead. “Go, I'll meet up with you later.”As the car drove off, I just watched it go. In the end, the cancer had won. Gosh, I couldn't imagine what he would be going through right now.
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
