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
KAYANora was in my room very early the next morning. “I thought you would be in the hospital with Kaya. Why did you come back?”“Because I need to be there for whatever wants to happen.”I didn't even know what wanted to happen today. All I knew was that I wanted it to be over. A lot was going wrong in my marriage and I needed to fix it. I didn't want to say that Kaya had caught me with Selena last night because I wasn't even doing anything wrong. Selena was the one who had thrown herself at me and she came just at the wrong time. Thankfully, she was smart enough to know the truth. I didn't even know how I was going to begin explaining things to her if she hadn't believed me. Selena was trying to ruin my marriage.I told Nora what happened last night and she just stood there looking at me. She didn't seem shocked. “That’s the kind of person you go and get pregnant with?”
KAYAI shouldn't have bothered coming home. I'd planned to stay in the hospital with Lana but I had to give Roy the envelope so that he would leave. He wanted to stay with me in the hospital since Adrian had to leave but he had a sick wife at home and I didn't like the fact that I was coming in between his time with her. I didn't know where Nora had wandered off too as well so I had to go give him.Now that I think about it, I could have easily asked him to go to my room and take it himself but I think fate wanted me to go home that night. The envelope was still on my bed when I went back there and I handed it to Roy. “You don't need to come all the way out here. You can just text me the results by sending a picture. You don't have to go through all that stress.”“Kaya, what are you saying? You are my Queen and I have to serve you. You don't worry, I'll be fine.”I thanked him as he left and h
ADRIANI knew when the doctor brought the results the next morning but I didn't bother to go downstairs to see him. I had come home that night when Kaya had fallen asleep. We still had other kids and I had something to attend to. Somehow, the kids had heard about their sister being found and they had questions for me when I tucked them into bed that night. “Dad, I thought mum said the baby was sick. Why's everyone saying that she was found?”The question had thrown me off guard because I didn't expect them to know anything about it. “Who told you she was found?”“The maids were talking about it during bath time. I thought mum said she was sick. Was she lost?”Those careless maids didn't know when to keep their mouths shut. “Don’t listen to them. Yes, your sister was sick but she's doing better now. Your mother is with her in the hospital.”“When can we go see her? We asked mum before
KAYA“The DNA test. I want to tell Selena to bring the kid over so-”“Don’t even think about it and if you've already thought about it, kill the thought. Don't you dare bring that woman and her child into the same hospital as my daughter. I don't care where you want to take her to. Don't bring her here.”Adrian sighed. “Okay. I'll be outside speaking to the doctor.”“Do what you want.”He placed a kiss on my forehead as he walked out of the room. Bringing her here would be asking for war and I was ready to fight..Nora came after a while with a bag. “Hey, you need to eat. You haven't eaten anything today.”Now that she said it, that was when I realized that I actually hadn't eaten anything. But it didn't mean that I was hungry. “I don't need food right now, Nora. I'm not hungry.”“I wasn't expecting you to say that you were.”She brought the food out and opened th
KAYAI didn't even know when I slept off in my chair.By the time I woke up, it was already dark out and I jumped up almost immediately to see that there was no one at my side.At the end of the hallway, Nora and Adrian stood speaking to each other.The looks on thier faces..“No, please tell me she's not dead.”My knees gave in and I fell to the floor. Adrian rushed over.“Kay, Kaya. Take it easy. Just relax, it's going to be fine.”Who did this? How could they do this to her?“She’s not dead. She's in a coma. The doctor said that she's been exposed to the cold so much and after warming her up, she slipped into a coma.”I got up from the floor immediately.&l
KAYA“So tell that woman or whatever she is to wake up from her dreams because there is no way her child will be the King while I'm alive. Get her to do the test and then send her out of my house. I don't care what happens after that.”“Nobody will take Milo's throne. I'm not going to let him become the heir.”I didn't know where this came from but I knew it was from a place of rage and hurt.“Even if you try to think of giving the throne to him, I will kill you and everyone else who stands in my way until my son sits on that throne. That is not a threat. I'm sure you know I can do it.”Since they wanted me to go this far, I would. I wouldn't let anyone treat Milo like he wasn't a part of this family. I knew what he had gone through when this issue initially started.When those low lives decided to come af
KAYAI didn't have the time to waste dragging anything with anyone.All I knew was that at this point, anyone who crossed me would pay for it.All this rubbish that was going on wasn't even on my mind. All I was thinking about was what would happen tomorrow since I didn't leave Adrian.If the person in question even knew what was going on over here, they would not believe it. I'm sure that they would be even interested in hearing the full gist.AIl I wanted was my baby back. If I had her back, she would give me the strength to get through this rubbish that was going on.I knew that Adrian didn't even remember that his child was missing so I would look for my baby myself.Since he seemed to be more preoccupied with the appearance of his so called heir, then I would focus on finding my
ADRIANThey brought her in and I was even scared to look at Kaya.“State your name and your claim. Note that you are befoe the official court so lying or fabricated stories would be duly punished once found out. You may continue.”The fact that she was always so unserious was what repelled me from her. She could never read the room.“Well, Adrian and I-”“I would advise you to refrain from calling the King by his name. No matter what history you have, he is still the King. Continue.”She rolled her eyes as she continued.“Well, the king and I had sex. I got pregnant. This is his son. How hard can that be for anyone to understand?”“Um, young lady. How sure as you that this child belongs to the King? I mean, how do we know that he's not for someone
ADRIANNever in my life did I think that Selena would come back here.I had even forgotten that she existed because she was in my life so long ago and she didn't leave any significant impact.She was just someone who I happened to know in passing.“Nora, I don't know what the hell is going on.”She had a son for me? What happened between us was so long ago that I don't even remember the exact details and I'm still trying to grasp what exactly happened.“Adrian, another woman and another child? I don't even know what to say. I mean, I know you once told me about her but that was so long ago.”“Exactly! That is why I didn't think that she'd come back and say things like this. After that night, I never saw her for once again. I left and I never went back.”
