Adrian 

They say you learn new things everyday but I never thought I'd get to see a wolf treat their own child like this. 

As I watched the way these people treated her, it drove me crazy because they were the ones who were supposed to be protecting her. 

Lycans valued their children, they loved and died for them but it obviously wasn't applying to these people. They treated her like a slave not worthy to stand before them. 

Her father just stood there in silence, not saying anything to defend her while the girl, Serena, just kept feeding him with lies. What good father would stand still and watch as his daughter is hit by another man in his presence but he didn't even move an inch. 

I would have ripped his hand off first for calling me a rogue, then for having the guts to raise his hand on her. But I couldn't blame him, he didn't know I was an Alpha. 

But I was a King only in my Kingdom and by Red Moon rules, Kaya and I should be sentenced to death. This was one of the rules that was set to be abolished by the time we sign the treaty. 

Both our sides have seen countless people get sentenced to death for falling in love and due to it being a rule that my father had passed with the Alpha of Red Moon at that time, I had no other choice but to honor it.

There was no way I was going to allow her to get killed based on a lie. I would protect her with my own life if I have to, because she's innocent. 

Before I can open my mouth to speak, Serena beats me to it. 

“Dad, say something. She's just going to lie her way out of this situation. Sentence her to death right away!” If her father had a brain, he would see that Serena was so desperate to get her killed and he won't fall for her tricks. 

“Just stop it, Serena! I can't do it!” I saw Kaya visibly relaxing. I felt so bad for her because all this was happening because I showed up “But you're not going to be free. Take them to the dungeons and lock them up! I’ll deal with this in the morning with a clear head." 

The dungeons? No way in hell. 

“Wait, listen to me, you don't know who I am.” The guards didn't listen to me, they just began dragging us away. 

“Dad? Dad, please! You have to believe me! Please!" Her father turned his back on her as his daughter was being dragged away. 

“Hey," I called for her “It’s okay. This will soon be cleared up and we'll be out of here."

“This is my fault. I'm sorry, if you hadn't stepped in to save me, you would have been safe. I'm sorry for this.” 

My heart broke, hearing those words. I wanted to tell her that if given the opportunity, I would save her over and over again without thinking about it twice but I didn't. She shouldn't have to take on the pain alone. 

Frantically, I searched my waist for my Kingship band but tonight in all the years I've been King is the first time I'm leaving the house without it. Just perfect. 

“Hey wait, listen to me “ I tried to reason with the guards but they didn't listen. “I'm the Lycan King. My name is Adrian Xanders, you have to believe me!” 

They dragged us into a building with no light. I still couldn't believe I was getting arrested. 

“It’s okay. You don't have to lie.” Kaya gently whispered to me. 

I'm not lying! Why wouldn't anyone believe me?!

I needed to figure  a way out of here. It wouldn't make sense for me to fight all these wolves on my own. There were too many and I would put Kaya at risk. I wasn't even hearing Kyle so it meant this wasn't a situation that I would need to fight in. 

Mind linking was my only hope. 

“Nora, I need help. I've been arrested by Red Moon.”

    Adrian If the members of my pack saw me right now, a war would break down. Their King, shackled and bound like a prisoner. I'd reached out to Nora through the mind link and she was furious. The first thing she asked me was how the hell I got there in the first place and frankly, I didn't even know. I just have been so out of it while running that I didn't know when I crossed our lands into theirs. Anyways, I told her that I'd explain later and she should just make my identity known before they hung my neck from a guillotine and Serena would have her long term wish if seeing Kaya die. No, I couldn't allow her to die. “Hey Asher!” There was no response. “Wake up, you lazy shit.” I called to my wolf, whom I named after Asher when he died. “First off, I wasn't asleep. Secondly, that's a very offensive thing to say to your best friend.” “Whatever. Where were you when I needed you? We should have fought off those guards and maybe then, we won't be in this mess! We're locked up, Asher.

    Adrian I pushed open the wooden door, the bright light being the first thing hitting my eyes, in contrast to the darkness in the dungeons. Nora stood up immediately, bowing her head to me and there seated on the couch like little rats were the rest. Alpha Hank was the first to kneel, then his daughter followed reluctantly. That toad that slapped Kaya was next. I wanted to deal with him myself and I hoped that I got the chance. He actually dared to lay a hand on what was mine. Not only did I find it disrespectful, I saw it as a threat. He wanted to see what I could do. Ignoring them, I walked past them and went to sit on the couch, taking off the clothes I was wearing. Due to the scuffle out in the woods, I was wrapped in mud and dirt. ”I brought you these.” Nora handed me my royal attire asn I almost smiled. She knew all the right things to do. When I was fully dressed, I addressed the unfortunate situation before me. “Jeez, how the hell do I handle this trash?”Hank was an

    KAYA “Do you want to keep staying here? With them?” I looked at Adrian who was now on his feet, just a few meters away from me. I'd have to be foolish to agree to that. These people had made my life a living hell and I had looked forward to the day I'd get away from them. For the years following my mother's death, I'd lived at their mercy like some slave looking up to her master just to see the next moment. My father was looking at me with wide eyes, like he hoped I'd say yes. He had always been delusional. Always refusing to see the big picture. That was why my mother died. When she was sick, he was the one who refused to take her to the hospital because according to him, werewolves never got sick. I had a bad feeling about her illness and I begged him to get the pack doctor but he refused. Now, he wanted me to stay back so that he and his golden daughter and her boyfriend would continue to mistreat me. No way. “No. Over my dead body.” That finally got a reaction from Jackso

    ADRIAN “How do you know that when you haven't spoken to her yet?”Did I really have to speak to her? If she had something to say, she would have talked since. “Besides, I need to determine if she's worth it. If she's worth loving. I can't just jump right into it again.”I'd made a mistake before and I wanted to avoid making it again. “So, what are you going to do with her?" I looked at her and she was still in that position. What was going through her mind? “She’ll stay with us for now. Since her wolf is hidden, it gives us time to get to know her very well and I'll need to see how she is with Milo.”Milo didn’t like a lot of people. It took time before he got used to Nora and that was one of my greatest fears when thinking about a mother for him. What if he didn't like Kaya? What would I do then? “What the hell, Addy-”“Don’t call me Addy!" I hated it when he called me Addy. Both he and Nora did it to piss me off and it worked every time. “Just admit that she has been everyth

    Kaya The lady who I'd come to know as Nora led me into the house, walking ahead of me, giving me time to take in the sight in front of me. Right from the moment I stepped into the house, my mouth had fallen open. This wasn’t a house, it was a palace. It was purely magical, like a place right out of a fairytale. The ceiling was far above us, giving the large chandelier enough space to shine. The ground floor was big, big enough to accommodate the large steps in the middle of it. There weren’t any couches but there were vases and ancient decorations. All these looked very expensive.I’ve never seen any place like this before in the Wolf Kingdom, it’s no wonder they were trying earnestly to take over their kingdom. ‘C’mon. Your room is upstairs.” I looked back at Nora and nodded slightly. “My name is Nora, I’m Adrian’s Beta. I also train the military. I hope we can be friends.” My mouth almost dropped. The Beta wanted to be friends with me…a slave?The fact that she was a Beta wa

    ADRIAN I went in after them, going straight for the office. During my unfortunate arrest, a couple of incidents had taken place and I needed to attend to them immediately. My Gamma, Allister, was already in my office waiting. Actually, he was on the office chair, spinning around and he didn't even notice when I walked in.“I’m so glad I'm back.”He jumped up as soon as he heard my voice.“Alpha, welcome back. The pack was not left unattended while you were away."We both laughed. I need to find a better Gamma. Actually, Allister was the best there was. He was the only guy I was ever close to and he helped me a lot when I needed him to be there. He was also the only one who managed to make me laugh. “Report.”His smile fell.“The Nakashi Cult. We just got word that they have attacked Stormborn Clan and our informant says that before daybreak, Bloodhound would be gone too.”I was shocked to say the least. How was that possible?“How is that possible?" He pulled in the chair and

    KayaI sat on the floor in utter confusion at Adrian's actions. I rubbed my aching elbow that had broken my fall and prevented me from hitting my face on the floor when he pushed me. ‘What the hell do you think you’re doing to my son?” He was hiding the boy away from me like I had done something wrong. “What do you mean? I wasn’t doing anything, I-” ‘Save it! I knew it was a mistake bringing you here. How dare you touch him?” What was he talking about? I wasn't even doing anything. I was only trying to help. He probably thought I was trying to hurt him. I wanted to explain to him what actually happened but he turned away from me and faced his son who had placed his head on his father’s shoulder. ‘Are you okay? Did she hurt you? Milo?”Milo didn’t say anything but he looked at me with tears in his eyes then looked back at his father. Even though I knew I didn't do anything to him, I couldn’t help but feel scared at what he was going to say.I hadn’t been here for up to half a day

    KAYA By the time my eyes jolted awake, the sun was already very high in the sky and I jumped up from the bed, putting on my clothes in a hurry. I was surely done for this time. Serena was asking to have my head on a platter since her plan to kill me last time didn't work. And my father was going to be there for the whole show. I tripped over my own feet and fell face first into the rug. My room didn't have a rug… so where was this coming from? I raised my head and looked around me, realizing where I was. “I’m so stupid.”Serena and all of her bullshit were miles away, rotting away in that damned pack. I didn't have to be scared of them anymore because they couldn't hurt me here even if they tried. Sighing in relief, I got up from the floor and walked into the shower. I was still deciding whether the bathroom, the closet or the bed was my favorite part of this room. My bathroom had everything a girl could ever wish for. All the toiletries, it was decorated so beautifully and it

    THIRD PERSON POVMilo looked around him and wondered what was going on.They hadn't been told anything but the guards had come around the day before to round them up and take them outside.That was the first time some of them were seeing sunlight in months and he felt bad for them. He had been seeing it since he basically dined with the king every night.Even though he kept asking where they were being taken to, there was no answer given and batch by batch, they were taken out of the room.Unlike last time, he was blindfolded and transported away from the pack. They drove a while in the carriage and then they stopped at a small pack at the edge of the Bouncy Jackson.Milo had learnt that it was named that because if you dropped anything mistakenly into it, the Jackson would throw it back up. Fools who threw themselves into it were never seen again.They took them to a house and put them there, guarding the door just like back in the palace.Thankfully, Daphne was by his side.“What do

    KAYAGetting in didn't prove like much of a hassle to me and before long, I was in and walking around the palace.The next step was to find out where the bastard was so I could kill him once and for all. Golden Blade didn't seem so bad now that I thought about it. I mean, the kingdom looked pretty up to date and it looks to be in very good shape.I don't know what I was expecting but it is not a standard place.A few guards walked last and I brushed to the side and hid.“Where do you think the king ran away to?”“I don't know. We got information that he was in danger and that we had to evacuate him.”You have got to be kidding me. Jackson ran away?! How on earth did he even know that I was coming? The sun was rising in the sky already and Adrian might be on his way with the other soldiers already.This didn't seem right. I mean, I only just got here so who could have been able to deliver a message that fast and who was working for Jackson? Who in my kingdom was giving him information?

    KAYALet's just say being the Queen has spoiled me.I wasn't used to walking in the thick bushes and I can't count the amount of times I tripped over a branch or my own two feet. My own shadow scared me.I should have taken guards with me, Adrian told me to but my mind was too fixed on just leaving.Now, I wanted to pee badly and there was no way I was going to do it in these bushes..“How’s it going out there? Don't you wish you had waited for me now?”I had to turn around and make sure that he was not behind me.“No, I do not. It's going very well. It's almost like I was born with the trees. You can call me Mother Nature.”He burst out laughing, knowing I was bullshitting him.“I trust you'll be fine. I fired Shawn.”I had to stop walking and process what he said.“Did you just say you fired Shawn? Why? I mean, I like that but why? I thought you couldn't see anything wrong in him.”He sighed.“I lied. I knew what he was doing, I knew why you didn't like him. I just wanted you to de

    ADRIAN“Alpha, what's so urgent that you couldn't wait till morning? What has happened by this time of the night?”“Gentlemen, we are going to war.”That word alone had its weight and as I said that, no one said anything else.“You do not know this but a few weeks ago, on my way to Golden Blade, my son was kidnapped.”Gasps filled the room and I let it sink in.“We were attacked and my son was taken away. The Queen then brought it to my attention that every month since the beginning of the year, kids were taken away from this pack with no trace. No one knows how they were taken and there were no witnesses to tell the story.”Now that I said it out loud, it didn't make sense to me. Kids from my kingdom were being carried away and I had no idea about it. What kind of king did that make me?“We’ve been trying to look for sources to tell us anything and tonight, a letter arrived for the Queen. It was from her former lover and he has confessed to taking the kids. I know him personally and

You walking out of my life all those years ago, left a big hole in my heart that couldn't be filled with any other woman's love.You were my first love and you'll always remain my first love. I can't deny the fact that I let the years go by without reaching out to you but I was too busy becoming a man, making myself worry of seeing you.And now, I'm proud to say that I have made something of myself. I've turned myself into someone you would be proud of, someone you can call a husband. Everything you possibly want, I have it.All you have to do is just say yes. Let's leave the past behind us, the past never does anyone any good. The mistake I made with Serena was stupid and I agree but you shouldn't have given up on us just like that. You should have continued to show me how much you love me and maybe I would have come back to you.Notwithstanding, I'm ready now. I'm ready to love you and love all of you

    KAYA“So you're telling me Golden Blade took him and other kids?”We were all having dinner and Nora sat across from me.“Yeah, I've been doing what I can to find out who Golden Blade's Alpha is but for some reason, it's seeming like some top secret. Almost no one knows.”And that's why I'll keep saying that it seems fishy. Because there's no kingdom that would hide their king.“I’ll do what I can as well.”I couldn't stop looking at Nora . When she left all those years ago, after Aaron left, I didn't think things would be the same.“Do you have to go?” I asked her as I watched her pack.looked at me.“Yes, I do. I've been by Adrian's side for years and he's giving me my freedom. I'd like to move around for a while, see places and things, maybe even live with humans, find love but I'll be back.”I knew I couldn't stop her but I wish I could. But now she is back. The years had done her, she looked more mature, like she had seen a lot in life.“Adrian , how have things been?”Since s

    KAYA“Adrian, wait. You have to listen to me. You can't just do things without thinking far ahead.”He turned to me so sharply that I almost bumped into him.“What else is there to think about, Kaya? That bastard took my son and other kids and you think I'm just going to sit back and do nothing?!”“That is exactly the reason why you should not be rash. He has the upper hand here and I fear he would not hesitate to use it if he's pushed. I'm very sure he knows who Milo is and do you think if you attack him, he won't use him as leverage? You're putting Milo at risk so please, be careful and think about it.”He finally let out a breath and sat on the bed.“I don't even know who the Alpha is. Golden Blade has never shown their Alpha. Their Beta is always the one who attends meetings and all that.”That didn't make sense.“And you didn't find it weird after all this time? It didn't occur to you that there might be something more to it?”He shrugged.“I have a kingdom to rule. I don't spend

    THIRD PERSON POVMilo knew the gravity of what he had done and luckily for him, none of the other kids had been stupid enough to bend to the pressure.Ever since the guards realized that the girl was missing, they were questioning everyone one after the other and Milo feared that sooner or later, somebody would fold but so far,no one said anything.He just had to do what he did. He needed to send a message to his father to let him know that he was fine and also to his mother, who he knew would be very worried. He knew the situation at home would be very otense with his father looking for him.Even though the situation here was harsh for him to adapt to, he tried his best in doing so and with the help of the friend that he made, Daphne, he navigated being in this place.“Do you think the girl made it home?” Daphne asked.“I hope she did. Right now, she's the only hope we have in other people finding out where we are. “He knew it wouldn't take them for his father to realize what he wa

    KAYAFrom the way she was talking, I was afraid to ask for the number of kids that were there but I had to.“How many kids were there? Do you know?”She nodded.“At the time I got there, there were thirty kids. By the time I left, there were seventy five.”How in the world did that amount of kids go missing and Adrian and I heard nothing about it?“Seventy five.”That was a large number. Too large.“And all the kids are from this pack. We talk to each other so we asked around when the guards left the room at night. Every month, they bring a new batch of kids but a week ago, they brought in only one boy.”My ears perked up at that.“What did he look like?”I could see that she waa trying hard to remember.“Dark hair, dark eyes. Around my age. He doesn't really speak but he often speaks to the guards on our behalf. He's the only one who has ever spoken to the master.”“The master? Who's that?”She looked at her mother before she answered.“He doesn't really come in. I've only heard his
