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
KayaI ran with Nora down to the dungeons.What was I hearing?“How the hell did this happen?”Her feet were very fast and she didn't even turn around to look at me. She was right, the dungeons had changed since the last time I was here.They were bigger and more spaced out. I didn't know that Adrian had done this expansion. When did he do this?We stopped in front of the cell and I didn't expect what I saw.There was not a single drop of blood. Just the man on the ground with his eyes wide open.As I entered and crouched in front of him, I noticed that his body was swollen.And there was a smell. Almonds..How can that be?“Get me a flashlight quickly.”&nbs
KAYA It didn't take a lot of time for what I said to happen but the sad thing was that I didn't realise it. I was in Adrian's room looking after him when I got a message that I had a visitor. I didn't know who it was because today was supposed to be a day off and I'd asked Nora to cancel every potential meeting, no matter what it was. “I think you should come out. You'd want to see this person.” It was a trap. “The only person I want to see is right in front of me so no, I don't care. Tell the person to go back and come back when I'm in the mood.” She didn't say anything after that and she left. There was no one that important for me to drop everything that I was doing and go out. Nora and Milo had taken the baby to the hospital later that day and I was on edge. I was checking in every minute to make sure nothing had gone wrong. I would have gone by myself if not for the fact that I had to be here. I had a meeting with all the Alphas in the Kingdom. It was a monthly meeting an
KAYAIt wasn't easy living with one arm. I was basically useless in doing everything. I had to wait for the maid to do everything for me. All I did was just sit in my room, sleep, eat and think. The maids were now live-in . But at least, I got to spend more time with my children who had now moved into my room. Nora threw a fit every time she saw me out of bed. She needed to remember that I was injured and not dying. It would eventually roll over. When the doctor finally removed the sling, I couldn't have been happier. My arm felt like new but it still hurt. “You’ll have to give your body more time to heal, which means that you can't stress too much. My Queen, you need to take it easy. Your blood pressure is very high, coupled with the fact that you're breastfeeding. You also need rest for that.” If someone else could take over those responsibilities for me, I would have happily given them out. “No problem doc, thanks for being here. Have you taken a look at Lana?” “Yes, she se
KAYAAs I hit the floor, the pain shit through my entire body like electricity and I was paralyzed for a moment before I felt someone rush to my side and pull me close. “Stay close, Kaya. We're going to get you help.”It hurt a lot and I just lay there while she put pressure on the wound. I could hear the shouts of people as they scurried to safety. “Leave me alone and take the kids inside. Get the people home safe and find who did this.” Milo appeared by himself as well. “Get your brothers and your sisters inside and lock yourself in my room. Go now!”I was getting weaker and weaker and I could barely move my body anymore. “Kaya, I won't leave you. Let's get you inside.”She lifted me on her shoulder and took me in and her voice started fading out but I could still hear that she was speaking to some people. “The doctor is on his way, Kaya. You'll be fine. Just stay with me. No, don't close your eyes. Stay with me, Kaya.”I fought so hard to keep my eyes open but the more I tri
KAYA It was the beating of the drums that woke me up that morning. Normally, the first day of the celebration often entailed the pack gathering at the house so Adrian delivered his speech. Normally, I just stood there, looking pretty by his side while he spoke..he often asked me if I had anything to say but I always declined. This time around, I was being fitted for a dress I had now become too big for. I hadn't lost all the weight I'd gained during my pregnancy so this dress that I'd had fitted last months ago was now so small for me. “My Queen, I don't think it'll fit. The corset…it's too tight.”I was barely breathing and this was going to be so uncomfortable because I was going to be out for the entire day in this. “What can I do? It's not like I can have the dressmaker make another dress in five minutes. Most of my clothes don't even fit anymore.”Gosh, how could I not have thought about this all this while? What was I going to do? It was tradition to get new clothes ever
KAYAI should have known that my decision to keep Storm pack was going to come back and bite me in the ass. As the Elders had said, Alphas who were not happy with my decision came to me and laid their complaints. Just as I'd been told, they were five. Including Alpha Damon. No wonder he was being a bitch when I asked that the matter be postponed that day. “My Queen, you can't do this. The Alpha would never do something like this. This matter was being debated before his unfortunate accident. And I'm very sure he would have given it to me.”The other Alphas almost had his neck for saying that. I, however, was unfazed. “What Alpha Rave was trying to say, I believe, is that the Alpha would have given the place to one of us. He would keep it for himself.”Saying nothing, I let them rant and rant until I was tired of hearing their whining. “Are you done or you still have more to say?”They looked at each other like they couldn't believe my response. “Take a look around. You might as
KAYA Being Alpha was hard. I was supposed to have a meeting at 7am this morning. When Nora presented it to me the night before, that was the first thing my eyes landed on. “What outrageousness is this? Why do I have a meeting this early? What do they want to say that can't stay till later in the day?”She shrugged. “I have no idea. They just said they needed to see you.”“And who fixed the time?”“They did. I fixed it for later but they asked for it earlier.”This was outrageous. What do they want to say that they couldn't wait until later? Anyways, if I didn't show up at that time, they would wait. And I didn't actually show up at that time. I slept in. It wasn't until later that day when Milo walked in and shouted my name. “What?! What's going on?!”“The elders have been waiting for you all day!”My brain was still processing what the hell I was hearing. I had to look outside the window to fully understand what was going on. Shit! “Why didn't anyone wake me up?! What time
KAYA I was in Adrian 's office, trying to gather my thoughts. Today was meant to be a holiday for me because I wanted to spend time with my kids and also, I needed to make sure that Martine's kids were doing okay. I'd already asked Nora to help move all my meetings to tomorrow. The twins were especially happy with this because it was their birthday soon. I'd felt disconnected from the kids in the past few months. They'd been asking questions about their father repeatedly and I was running out of things to tell them. I wouldn't tell them lies per say but it was just the twisted truth. Lana was already down for her afternoon nap after the doctor left. Thankfully, her fever was coming down and she was showing signs of recovery. Her health had given me reasons for concern in the past months. But luckily, the doctor said it was just a new born thing. I was seeing him out of the house when he turned to me..“My Queen, remember how I told you that we had a hard time finding the Kin
KAYABy the time the day was over, I was fagged out. I was sleepy, hungry and overwhelmed. I'd had to ask one of the maids to put Lana to sleep. She had a fever and while I was trying to breastfeed her, Nora called and said that we had a meeting to attend. I almost cursed her out before I remembered that it wasn't her fault. Maybe if Adrian was awake, I won't have to be doing this. My feet were hurting and I'm very sure they were swollen. “What do we have to do tomorrow? I'm thinking of not showing up.”Nora laughed..“If Adrian felt this way about things, we wouldn't have had a king for a very long time.” “Adrian has patience to deal with those old men. I don't.”The werewolf kingdom was dominated by men in high ranking positions. Which meant that they were often uncomfortable when they had to deal with a woman in a position that matched theirs. I'd had to smoothen it out with a particular Alpha yesterday who felt my words weren't valid because he didn't know who I was. “All
