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
THIRD PERSON POVHank was in a tight situation.Staying up all night to think about how in earth he was going to kill Adrian was taking a toll on him and he couldn't take it any more..He had thought about every way that he could but it wasn't working out. Everything he thought about always ended with him being dead and he couldn't let that happen.He had been thinking about how he would get to Stacy that had been captured by Alpha Adrian. Right now, she was the only one that could help him in this time.But there was no way.There was going to be a meeting tonight because the full moon was tomorrow and for the first time since he joined the Cult, he didn't want to attend a meeting..He knew that they were going to talk about it and it scared him. He has been the one to say that he would be able to kill Adrian but now, he was having issues with it.He didn't have the appetite for food and he couldn't sleep either. With his eyes wide opened, he wondered if he should really give up the
KAYAI'd gotten across to Adrian, eventually.After deciding that I truly missed him and I actually wanted to speak to him, I couldn't hold back anymore. I just let the anger go and I got across to him through the mindlink.Even though he hasn't marked me, we could still talk through the mindlink because of my powers.He wanted to bury Ava before he came over here. If I was really going to do this, then I would need Adrian by my side to help me. I had never gone to war with anyone before and I needed someone with experience to put me through.Lia said I had to address the pack soon and tell them what was going on and I knew that it would cause a lot of chaos and I was already dreading it because I knew that they would have questions. Questions that I can't answer because I'm trying to protect them from the truth.I wish I could be there for Ava's burial, I know it's going to affect Adrian and Milo badly being that she was his mother and all.But for now, I had something to face. Nora
KAYAI'd taken over as Alpha. No one could stop me, not even those damn elders.I'd had them arrested, each and everyone of them. They'd known if my father's involvement with the cult and yet they did nothing.“The time is drawing close, Kaya. It's time for the Cult to find you so we can put an end to them once and for all.”At the mention of the cult, I didn't seem so upset or afraid anymore. I was already for them. They had tormented me for long enough and it was time to face them.“What do I need to do to prepare myself?” I asked Lia.“First off, keep your home in check. Your guards need to start training as much as Adrian’s guards were training back then. And then, you need to get everyone in this pack to safety. Don't get them involved in this, Kaya. As much as you hate them for what they did, they're innocent.”Innocent? They stood back and watched while that man made me a pack slave. His daughter!“Kaya, listen to me. Don't let anger rule you. You will regret it. Just let them
ADRIANShe was on the bed and I was standing over her.Over the last few weeks she had shrunk, becoming a shadow of herself. She couldn't keep anything down, she could barely stand or walk, she had blisters all over so she ended up on the bed.She was weak, very weak and she could barely talk.I knew her time was near and I didn't like it. Milo wasn't ready. She couldn't return after so long only to leave again without spending time with him.“I don't hate you, Ava. I really don't. I was just mad at you for what you did. Asher loved you a whole lot and automatically, it meant that I had to. You were an important part of his life and you always will be. I'll take care of Milo, you don't have to worry about him. He's my son now and he will get everything he deserves that he will forget that he didn't have his real parents. You don't have to worry about him, Ava. He's in good hands.”She nodded her head slowly, giving me a small smile and raising her hand to hold mine.“Thank you, for
KAYALia wasn't joking when she said that a lot of people wouldn't be happy with my return.What was I expecting though? A warm welcome?Even though I got I to the pack at night, there were still many people outside to see my return.When my father was still Alpha, the pack had a curfew. By nine pm, no one could be seen on the streets but it was almost midnight and it didn't seem like night at all.As I walked into the pack, I received stares. But no one moved a muscle and the fact that I could now hear what they were thinking wasn't exactly helpful.In general, they were all saying the same thing. How I had the guts to return and how I only came back because my father was dead. They felt betrayed.Betrayed? If anything, I should be the one who felt like I was betrayed because all these people stood back and watched as I was abused and beaten by the people I called family and they did nothing!And now, they have the guts to look at me like I did something wrong?Being back here brough
THIRD PERSON POVThey made it back to Alpha Adrian's pack that night. It was raining and so, it acted in their favor because the chaos would take attention away from them.Since Naya and Luke basically knew the lack like the back of their hands, they knew where to go that would take attention away from them, so they stayed in the little abandoned pack far away from other houses.Their agreement to work with the grandmaster meant that they now had powers of their own and they could hear him too.So when they fully settled in, he reached out to them.“Your first assignment would be to look for any female who had just found their wolf. This person is in that pack but we just don't know who. With the powers, you would be able to feel the strength when you're around them. It would be like they're more powerful than you.”They didn't understand this assignment.“Why are you looking for them? What did they do?”The grandmaster wasn't in the mood for questions.“Just do as you're told. And ma
KAYAIt took everything in me to gather up my things to leave. I thought I didn't have the guts to. But I did as a matter of fact.That day, I packed my things up and left, not wanting to have to deal with Adrian right now. I stopped for a bit when I walked past Milo's room but I slid a letter under his door, hoping that he would not hate me when he read it.Finding my way back to my pack was hard, as I didn't exactly walk here and I had barely been to my pack on foot but thankfully, Lia was there to help me.“You know, he was just trying to protect you. He didn't want you to have to deal with all that and that's why he didn't tell you about it.”I didn't answer her. Of course, she would support him.“Are we almost there? How much longer till we get there?”I'd been walking for two days, the last thing I needed was more stress. I just wanted to get back there and do what I had to do so I could leave.“Yeah, we should be there by nightfall. I should warn you about something though.”I
ADRIANI'd gone for a walk. I needed to clear my head before I lost it in that house.Kaya was very mad, she didn't bother to hide it from anyone and since she wasn't speaking to me for the way I acted towards Ava, this just made things worse.Before long, she packed up her things and came downstairs.“I’m leaving. I'm done with this, Adrian! I'm done with the lies and secrets.”There was nothing I could even say to her to convince her otherwise. Nora was trying to speak to her but I knew it was pointless. She already had plans to leave a while ago and with Ava's coming, she decided to postpone her plans.“Why’re you acting like this? Why're you acting like you don't care about her?”Of course, Nora had to bust my ass about doing nothing.“What do you want me to do? You want me to have begged her and told her not to leave? You knew that she would not have listened to me, you know she's crazy mad at me and speaking to her would make things worse.”I didn't even want her to raise her vo
KAYAThis situation reminded me of the time that Adrian had gone missing and no one agreed to answer my question concerning his whereabouts no matter how much I asked.At that point in time, Nora and Allister were always talking in hushed voices and as soon as they saw me, they'd act like nothing was going on and they'd split up and change the topic.Right now, as I was standing at the top of the stairs, I could see them talking in hushed voices but I couldn't hear what they were saying.I was still mad at Adrian so I couldn't speak to him yet so right now, I could only ask Nora and Allister what was going on.So I decided to risk it and go downstairs.As expected, they stopped talking when they saw me and put in that fake smile that always creeps me out.“Hey guys, what's going on?”“Nothing!” She had that high pitched voice that let me know that she was lying. “Allister, why don't you go check on the guards? I'll finish up here.”As she said that, Allister gave her a look that meant
ADRIAN“What? What did you just say?”They both looked at me like they had no idea what I was talking about.“I’m asking you a question! What did you just say?! How could this have happened and you're just letting me know now?!"Nora stepped forward.“Alpha, we were going to tell you about it but that was the day she returned.”I forbade her name from being called in this house. My mind suddenly flashed back to that day when she came when Nora and Allister were standing together with Kaya and they said they had something to tell me but her presence distracted us.“Did Kaya know about this?”“No! She didn't. She asked but we didn't tell her because it involved the both of them."How on earth did Serena and Naya break out of their cells?“What were the guards doing? Were they sleeping while they walked past them? How could they be there while all that was happening?!”I knew I was raising my voice but right now, I was very mad. In fact, I'd been mad since she stepped her feet into this
