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 don't know if she was already awake before or if she was woken up by the kiss but right now, she was awake and she was staring at me.It was obvious that she had heard everything that I'd said and it made me happy because then I wouldn't have to repeat it. Even if I hadn't to, I wouldn't mind because at least, I'd be letting her know how I felt.I gave her a small smile and I was about to pull her up from the bed when she shook her head. She motioned for her other arm that was under Milo's neck and she slowly removed it from him.As soon as she was on her feet, I pulled her in for a tight hug.“I missed you so much.” She confessed.“Me too. Me too."Looking at her, I wanted to kiss her so badly but Milo moved and I didn't want us to wake him up so I dragged her hand out and took her back to her room.As soon as I closed the door, I put her back against the door and made a move to kiss her but she stopped me.“Morning breath.”I was about to ask her if she thought I brushed my
THIRD PERSON POVThere was less than seven days to the time limit they had to find that wolf.The Grandmaster was panicking but he didn't want to show it. He didn't have enough information on where they were or who they were and if they weren't able to kill her in time, that was going to mean that they would all die.The blood of the special wolf was what was keeping them from dying and they needed to renew their sacrifice as quickly as possible.He'd been thinking about sending people into packs undercover to search for anyone who had just recently found their wolf and they were over the needed age.Most of the time, they were female and he had a feeling that this one was going to be a female too. Right now, that was the only option he had.That was until he was at home one day and he felt it. The wolf had awoken.He instantly rushed to the civen, joking that the wolf would still be active by the time he got there so that he would be able to track her down.Unfortunately, it wasn't
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
KAYA“My Queen,It's been so many years since I saw you or heard your sweet voice. 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
