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
KAYAI was sitting in my room when I heard a knock and the door opened before I could even respond.I knew Milo dn Adrian didn't know I thought it was Nora.But it wasn't.“Belle.”She was the last person I was expecting.In the past few weeks, I've wondered what was wrong with her because every time I tried to speak to her, she was always not responding.She always looked at me like we were enemies and I genuinely thought that there was an issue.She stood in front of me with her hands together in front of her.”Hey, can I speak to you?”I dropped the book I was holding and sat up.“Sure, you can sit."She gave me a small smile and took a deep breath.“I wanted to apologize, say I'm sorry for the way I've been acting. I haven't exactly been myself lately. My dad died and I've been out of it, trying to make sense of my feelings and everything is just so messed up.”My heart suddenly broke.“Belle, I'm so sorry. I had no idea.”She started crying and I felt so bad so I went over to wh
KAYA It had been six months since the incident. Six months since I'd last seen and held my husband in my arms. I remembered that day like it was yesterday. Having to watch my husband's blood decorate the floor like paint while I could only cry and scream.I'd never felt so many emotions all at once.“Adrian, stay with me. You cant leave me, not now. Please. The doctor will soon be here.”I knew that wasn't true but at that point, I couldn't bring myself to believe anything else. “I didn't mean to do that. That was a mistake. He moved too quickly.”Adrian held my hand, seeing that I was going to go after him. Don't.”. His voice was a whisper “I don't have time. Take care of the kids. Tell them I'm sorry for not coming back and tell Lana- tell my daughter that I loved her and I always will.”His hand that was grasping mine went limp and his eyes that were once trained on me lost focus. The tears suddenly dried from my eyes and the pain in my heart disappeared. I brought his head
KAYA I saw him. Mark. I saw him standing over her with a knife in his hand and I screamed but he wouldn't stop plunging the knife into her. I ran to stop him and that's when I realized that I had been chained to the wall. He cackled loudly, disturbing my ears and tears blinded my vision. “You will suffer. I will kill all your children, Luna. And you will stand by and watch.” To the side, I saw Milo and the twins also being held by men and I couldn't do anything. All I could do was beg. Cry and beg. “You can't do anything to save them, Luna. You can't. So give it up and give me what I want.”My body was getting weak from trying to get out of these chains. But my daughter was with him and I needed to see her. “I don't know what you want. Tell me and I'll give you.”I noticed that the chains were falling off the wall.With one strong pull, I should be able to get them off. And that's what I did. I used yeh chains to hit him across the face, causing him to fall to the ground
ADRIAN It was taking too long for them to bring him to me so I went out myself. “What the hell is the hold up? Why can't you find him?”“I have no idea, Adrian. I don't know. He was just here right now.”This was insane. Did that mean I couldn't trust any of my men anymore? Why were they dead if he had put them in the cells himself? “The men said they last saw him a few minutes ago walking out of the cells. Of course, they didn't suspect a thing.”This was bullshit. Cold blooded murder right under my nose. The audacity! “Get men out there! None of them are to come back until they come with a solution. They should bring him back here!”She began walking away. “And Nora ! Tell Allister to bring himself back here. I need him now.”I couldn't even remember where he was because of the amount of things clouding my mind. “I'll let him know, Alpha. I'll be out in the field if you need me.”All I could do was wait until they returned. In the meantime, I remembered that he had dropped
ADRIAN“You didn't know he wanted to harm the princess?! What did you think a random stranger asking you for such a thing wanted to do? Give her a surprise party?!”If I was employing such stupid guards, I wonder what else has gone wrong in this house because of them. “What else did you do?” “I found them and told them about the plan. He said he was going to pay us as soon as the job was done.”If they were there, that means they saw them when the baby was taken. I asked the two others who were on the second floor. “No, as soon as they passed, they asked us to leave. Their faces were covered with a hood. It was only later we learnt of the princess's abduction.”So these men stood by while my daughter was being taken. “And just like that, they left. They took the child and left.”Well at least, I'm getting somewhere. That meant that Mark wasn't working alone. That meant he had someone else working for him, most definitely on the inside as usual. “Take them away. I don't want to
ADRIANI grabbed the note pad and ran out of the room, going to our room to look for her. How did she- That's why she was with Nora during the interview. “Alpha, we found something.”I stopped to look at Peter. “Can it wait? I have something to do right now.”“No, it can't. It needs your urgent attention..I think you should see this.” What the hell could it be? “Fine then, what is it?”I went downstairs with him. Two guards were standing in the centre ground, with clothes in their hands. “Is that what I think it is?”They were Lana's clothes. And it had their blood on them. “Alpha, that's not the only thing we found.” I didn't like his tone. I didn't want to believe it. No, it couldn't be..“Whatever it is, can wait. Not a word of this to anyone..not a single soul. Not even Nora , do I make myself clear? Take them and keep them in my office along with whatever you found. Not a soul!”I walked away, leaving them there. If Mark harmed my daughter…I wouldn't be able to stand i
ADRIANThat bastard had the guts to come into my house and take my child.After everything that he had done, this was more than he could chew. No one knew what had happened aside from Nora and Kaya . I wanted to keep it that way. We would find him one way or another with my baby safe and sound. Kaya wasn't saying anything. Not just to me, to anyone. I'd asked Nora if she'd spoken to her and she said no. When I tried to approach her, she walked away.It was driving me nuts and I needed to know what she was doing. “Adrian , I need your help. Can you recognize Lana's smell?”Nora handed me the blanket still stained with blood and it got my stomach in a knot but I didn't let it show. “Yes, I can.”“I need to make sure that it's her blood. At least, we'll know that she's safe and sound.”The entire blanket smelt like her so it won't be hard to figure out if someone else's scent was mixed up somewhere. But when I smelt it, it was just her. “I will kill him, Nora . I will give
KAYA I screamed. With everything in me, I screamed. It only took Adrian two seconds to come flying into the room. “What’s going on?”It only took him another two seconds to access the room and see the blood. “Where’s the baby? What happened to her? Why's there blood? Whose blood is that? Where is she?”I couldn't move. I just stood there looking at the empty blanket as if I could see her.Nora joined us in the room. “What happened?”I don't know what Adrian said to her because I had already disconnected by that time. My legs went away and I fell to the floor. My chest was heavy and my breathing heavier as my brain tried to remember where the hell my baby was. Adrian came to crouch beside me and he shook my shoulders. “Kaya, now's not the time to cry. Where is the baby?”I opened my mouth to talk but nothing came out. I just stayed staring at him.“Kaya ! Say something! Where is my child?!”Him shouting at me got me scared and it pushed back the words I wanted to say. “Adria
KAYA I followed them downstairs, not being able to sit there anymore. I was not going to sit there when a psychopathic murderer was on the loose with no one knowing his whereabouts. Nora and Adrian were talking in hushed voices and I walked up to them to hear what they were saying. But they stopped talking as soon as they noticed my presence. “What’s going on? What's the update?” They looked at each other and I didn't like it. “Can someone tell me what's going on?”Nora walked away while Adrian turned to me and grabbed my shoulders. “Kaya, you don't have to worry, okay? I assure you that I'll take care of everything. You won't have to worry. I'm working to make sure that he's caught. It won't be long now.”I knew that he could catch him quickly but it didn't give me a sense of relief, especially the fact that he was not in chains. “Why didn't you just get rid of him when you had the chance? Killing him would not have affected her birth, you know?*I wasn't blaming him for t
KAYA Nora was right. I was pregnant..I also didn't believe it when the doctor told me..I gave birth to my daughter, Lana last week. She was the most beautiful thing to ever exist and I felt like I'd fallen in love all over again. She came out looking like Adrian which pissed me off so much. “According to my father, a girl has not been born into this family in ten centuries. But you, my Queen, gave me a daughter. You made me a special father and I love you for that.”“So you weren't a special father when you had us?” Milo asked. Adrian barely turned around to look at him. “Shoo, everyone has seen you. I'm speaking to my wife and my daughter.”I laughed..”She’s going to be so spoiled.”Adrian was very good at spoiling kids and that's why Adrian was going to be just as his father was. Spoilt. “You can say that again. She's going to be daddy's girl. My little princess.”She made me happy and she made all of us happy. She was a blessing. Adrian had to leave because a guard called
