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
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
