KAYAI wanted to go after them but I couldn't.I just knew that I couldn't. Nora went after him though and I just stayed there so going what the hell I was going to do.Why would I make chocolate cake when I knew he was allergic to it?I kept thinking back to that day and wondering if I truly told Belle about it and I was sure I did. I would never try to put his life at risk.Tears rolled down my eyes and I wondered if he was going to be okay. I left the room and went to the kitchen, to look for Belle so she would tell me why in the world she would make a mistake like this when I'd told her not to.I didn't find her so I asked one of the maids.“Belle? She resigned this morning.”“Resigned? What do you mean by " resigned?"Of course, I knew what resigned meant but right now, my brain wasn't comprehending anything.“I mean, she quit.”“Wait, but why? I mean, I just saw her this morning."She shrugged.“I don't know. But I knew she was in a hurry. She didn't even finish clearing out her
KAYA“Why would this happen, Nora? I mean, I didn't mean for it to happen. I would never put him in danger on purpose.”“It’s okay. I know. I know."“Then why?” I swiped the tear away from entering my mouth ”Why would this happen? I told the maids not to make it a chocolate cake but she didn't listen. I swear I told her."She used her sleeve to clean the tears away from my face.“I know, Kay. I've told him that myself. Trust me, I know you will never do that on purpose. And I tried to tell him that but right now, I don't think he would listen to what I have to say.”“Is what he said true? Will Milo never truly speak again?”She looked at me without answering and I knew the answer already.There was nothing I was going to say at this time that would make Adrian listen to me. It was obvious that he was very angry and he wasn't going to heed to anything that any one said.He said I had an hour so I stood up and cleaned my face, putting the last of the decorations into the bag.“Where are
KAYASo maybe I'd made a mistake.Quinn was right. These woods were scary. Very scary and I couldn't even walk without looking over my shoulder to check for what was behind me.I should have just waited for a new day before leaving but I decided to leave when the day was almost over and that was the worst.Naturally, I was afraid of the dark and now to make matters worse, I had to walk in these woods by myself.“Do you wish you had listened to her now?”I sighed in relief when I heard Lia's voice.“Took you long enough to come. I was beginning to lose it out here.”She laughed.“You’re supposed to be the special wolf. How can you be scared of darkness?"I shrugged.“I don't know. I'm just glad you're here. The least I need right now is company. Just be here and help me.”“Do you even know where you're going? You have no one other than him."I knew that but I didn't want to think about it. I hated the fact that I had nowhere to go.“You should have just let Quinn help you.”I wanted to
KAYAFive of them stood tall in the darkness, their full length gowns blowing in the wind.I couldn't see their faces but their silhouettes were very outlined by the moon high in the sky.“W-who are you? Are you them? My father's cult?”I heard a laugh.“No, we are not that useless band of vipers. You said you didn't mind staying with witches as long as they were not “weird”, whatever that means. I don't think we are “weird” but we are witches.”What? I didn't mean that. I didn't mean I wanted to stay with witches. I was only joking. Why was my life always like this?So this was what Lia meant when she said I shouldn't be scared.If she could send these people to me, why couldn't she lead me back to Adrian's pack.Gosh, I hated myself.“So are we going to go or we're going to stand here all night.. it's going to rain very soon..”“Shall we?"That question was thrown at me. At this point,. I didn't have a choice. If I stayed out here, that meant i was fine with getting wet and not eati
ADRIANI woke up very early the next day and got ready. I needed to see Milo today at the hospital.Without even thinking about breakfast, I ran out of the house and got into my car, driving straight for the hospital.He had never had a surgery before and I wanted to ask the doctor how soon his throat could heal because I didn't want to believe that my son would never speak again.They'd told me that some years ago and he had proved them wrong by speaking to me that nightmare so this time around, I knew he was going to prove them wrong again and he was going to speak.I just didn't know when.I didn't know his room number so I stopped at the reception to ask.“Good morning, Alpha. What may I help you with?”“My son's room number. Tell me where he is.”She looked through a computer and raised her head up.“He’s in the children's section. Two floors up, room 32B.”I made my way upstairs, holding his toy train in my hand and also a picture of his mother. As much as I wanted to hate her,
KAYAWhen I woke up, the sun's rays were pouring into the window and directly into my eyes.It was so hot and I was so damn sure that the rain that had made me come with these women didn't end up falling.I sat up on the bed and thought about my life for a moment before getting up to use the bathroomIt took me a moment to realize that I had been waiting for Milo to run into the room.As I took my shower, I wondered what they wanted to speak to me about. They said they weren't weird but that was what they always said before they stuffed you in a lot and cooked while singing the song about the cauldron.I'd read too many books as a child and it was messing with my head.Since I had let my imagination run wild last night and ended up ruining my own appetite, my stomach was already rumbling by the time I came out of the bathroom.I put on my clothes and made my way out, not exactly knowing where I was going. Since it was day, I could see things clearly now..It didn't seem as scary as i
THIRD PERSON POVThey had agreed to meet up outside the house.She couldn't let them be seen together after what had happened. Even worse, she couldn't let her come to the house after what had happened.To her, it was a mission that had been successful and she was so happy with the outcome..For the first time, she had won over Kaya and she couldn't be happier. She knew that that plan of hers was a genius one because it would sure get them what they wanted.She had made Belle tell the baker to add a lot of chocolate chip, chocolate essence, flavoring and a very thin layer of chocolate with bits in it. She wanted to make sure that Milo didn't survive it.Yes, her plan had been to kill him. She wanted to make sure that Adrian hated Kaya so much that he would want her dead.Emma was already there waiting for her when she got there. As soon as she gave Kaya the cake, she packed up her bags and dropped a resignation letter on the kitchen table and ran out through the back door.She knew th
ADRIANThe doctor finally let me take Milo home the week after. It was beginning to seem like he didn't want me to take him home at all.He kept telling me to come back and finally, I was able to take him home today.He said his throat would take a couple of months to heal which was fine. I knew the extent to which the injury had gone.I was just happy that he was finally coming home today.He however, wasn't happy. I tried to get him to speak to me but he had refused to.When I entered his room this morning, he didn't speak to me and he didn't smile either. So I knew something was wrong, I just didn't know what.I tried speaking to him in the car but he still didn't budge.So I gave it to you and decided to leave it till we got home. There, I would have a better chance of speaking to him.Eventually, we did get home and he got down from the car . I offered to help him get down but he didn't even look at me and he got down himself.Nora came out and he gave her a hug and let her carry
KAYAThe three day interval between the trial came very quickly and before long, I was getting up before the sun came up and entering the court just as soon as the sun was up in the sky.After today, I was going to be dealing with a lot of very angry people because despite being presented with evidence, a lot of people still won't see the true side of things.They'll always see what they want to, which is fine. If they had any issues with Damien's release, then they could take it up against me.The first thing that we'll do today is to bring the boys to give a testimony of the same thing that they had told me last week.I'd told them not to be scared because they were doing the right thing and I'll do everything I can to protect them from that man.“Chief, I recently got information that the boys want to recant thei
KAYAWhen Nora finally came back, I told her everything that happened and she just sat like that for ten minutes straight listening to me narrate everything to her and then ask questions and then answer them myself.“Nora, say something. What do you think?”“Maybe if you had let me say something during your soliloquy, I would have been able to do that.”I rolled my eyes.“But then again, this is all appalling. You mean, those kids are brothers? I would never have guessed. But with the information I've given you, we can't exactly do anything about it.”I could hear the twins running down the corridor and it interrupted anything I wanted to say.“What do you mean?”“Well, we can't exactly go over there and start
KAYA “Miller, who did this to you?” He looked down at his chest. “I don't want to talk about it.” I'll ask Kyle about it. “Can I get that necklace you're wearing?”He touched it. “No, Kyle gave it to me. He said that I must never take it off.”“That’s okay, Kyle won't know. I won't tell him. I just find it very pretty and I need to take a picture of it. I'll take care of it, I promise.” He slowly took it off and handed it to me. “Are you really going to kill me?”“Oh no honey, I won't. I just said that to get Kyle to give me what I want.”“He’s a really good brother.”They were brothers?! “Miller, is Collins your brother too?” He nodded. It made sense now why there had to be a leader in the pack and why they were all so tight knit. “Thank you for your help, Miller. I'll return these to you as soon as possible.”I told the guards not to take him back to the cells because I didn't want Kyle to see him yet. “Soak these in blood and bring them back to me. We have a show to put
KAYA While Nora was gone, I had to do something for myself. She was out there trying to gather resources and I needed to gather mine too. The only resources at my disposal right now were the ones down there in the dungeons. I'd decided not to go ahead with the executions because as much as they annoyed me by not saying anything, I needed them. Those kids were the only ones who knew who had sent them and who was the person behind the red crown. Milo wanted to come down with me but he hadn't been down here before and this wasn't the place for kids to come. Eventually, he would get the chance to come down here but not yet. I didn't think I would be coming down here any time soon but here I was. The guards led me to their different cells. I'd separated them so they won't have the chance to corroborate their stories. I didn't need them ganging up against me. The first stop was at Kyle's cell. He seemed to be the stronger one between the three of them. He was going to be the hardes
KAYAThankfully, we finished setting up the decorations last night. Everything was in place by the morning and I went with Milo and Nora to wake the twins up with the happy birthday song. I knew they were already awake because as we entered,I saw Lorian moving and Adrian giggled. After the song, they hopped off the bed and ran over to blow the candles. “Happy birthday, my little princess. I can't express how much I love you and how much joy you bring to me.”Of course, Milo has to interrupt the moment. “You're finally ten, which means I get to chase you around the house with knives and mum can't say anything about it.”I didn't understand where that was coming from. “Even when they're old and wrinkly, no one will be chasing anyone with knives. There's no age limit for that.” Of course, they had to use my own words against me. “But you said that Milo can chase us when we become ten. We're ten today, mum.”When did I say that? I don't remember saying that but with these kids, I
KAYA “What is the meaning of this symbol, Collins? What are you not telling me?”He looked like he was trying to fight with himself. “I was supposed to burn that.”It was meant to be a whisper but since the court was quiet, it was audible. “Why should you have burned it, Collins? Were we not supposed to see this?”“It was none of your business. You're going to get us killed!” Well, that's what I wanted to hear. “Not before I kill you first. Listen to me, do you think that I can ask the guards to throw a dagger at you and kill you on the spot? Do you think anything is stopping me?” Who were they working for that made them so scared to even cough? He didn't say anything. “Very well then, schedule their execution to happen tonight. If they don't want to be useful, then I'll do away with them. Get him out of my sight.”As the guards dragged him out, an unsettling question rested in my mind. Who was behind all this? The person had gone through a whole lot just to set things in m
KAYA“Go on, Damien. You have my full attention.”The court was quiet as he rubbed his wrists, obviously happy to be free from the chains.“I can not believe the accusations waged against me. Never for once in my life has it crossed my mind to rebel against Alpha Damon or the King. Even when he took what belonged to me, I took it as fate.”I wanted to ask him about that but I didn't want to interrupt him.“I do not know how those items ended up at my house. I've never even heard of aconite before. All I know is that they came to raid my house and arrest me, saying that I was planning against the Alpha. I got to his house and was still trying to plead my case when they walked in with those items.”So there was no proof that any of those things actually came from his house?
KAYAJust like yesterday, the trial started as soon as the sun came up. I was the last one to enter the court since I'd woken up rather late.Milo and I spent more hours delving into the dynamics of my relationship with his father.Adrian wasn't only my husband, he was my best friend. Which means that we trusted each other with everything.That included administration.I'd only gotten there hours but I had to forget about sleep for now and make it to the throne room.In Alpha Damon's best interest, he was already in the room when I entered.“Things are moving rather speedily and I hope that I could round this up as quickly as possible. Now, I'll be hearing from Alpha Damon about the events that happened in his pack. I think a first hand account won't hurt. Just as it happened.”
KAYA I was going for the letters like a hungry lion trying to gnaw at their prey. I could see that the pile of letters was reducing. “Have you found anything yet?” “Not at all. Do you think it's here?” From the look of things, I didn't think it was here. “How could this happen? We sent the letters out to everyone. And this is everything right? You're sure none of them went missing?”“Yeah, I'm sure. I asked the guards to put them all in a bag and deliver them together so everything will be accounted for. They didn't lose any.”How then was this possible? I sighed and sat on the chair. I had really high hopes for this plan. This was the only way we'd know who had the symbol. “Or maybe we're not dealing with an Alpha. Maybe we're dealing with a noble man. We didn't send letters to them because we thought it was an Alpha.”No matter how much I thought about it, my mind didn't just lean towards it being a noble man..“I don't know about that but we can try it. I'm not in the mood
