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
THIRD PERSON POVIt was the day of the Full Moon.The Grandmaster woke up early.Actually, he hadn't been able to sleep at all because he knew that he was one step closer to the grave. In fact, he was already inside it and it was just to cover him up that was left.It was already the day that was his deadline and he hadn't found her yet. He thought he was going to but her wolf hasn't showed up in his radar again and it bothered him.Other special wolves didn't give him headaches like this. Most of the time, before the full moon, they always showed up because their wolf was too eager to come out..But not this one. This one has been very careful right from the start and if not for that chance that they had gotten, they would never have found her at all.He didn't want to say it out loud but he might as well accept defeat. He didn't want to tell his brothers yet but it was the truth.In just a couple of hours, the sun would go down and the moon would come up.That was the time they wer
KAYAI now believed when Nora said that the house had been bugged.We figured that they might be somewhere in the woods. Besides, that's the only place that Kyle would be able to grab a flower.So we decided to search the woods for them..it was actually quite hard to move around because the forest was very thick and it was almost impossible to cut down the vines that were hanging around.We walked around for a while until we finally saw a house in the woods. That's very strange and there was smoke coming out of the chimney so I knew that someone was at home.We approached the house quietly, surrounding it and bursting in immediately to meet an empty house.The men went in to search the inner rooms and they came back with nothing. How could this happen? Or did we come to the wrong place?“M
KAYAThe pieces are slowly coming together. They were still all over the place but at least, we had information. We cleared the board that we had used for Damien's case. “So Kyle said that he had a tattoo on his wrist and that he smelled like rubbing alcohol. Both of which Damon confirms although Damon does not know the smell.”We pinned those two facts to the wall. “We know he needs blood. I heard from Damien that he threw the throne because Nancy needed blood and Damon asked for the throne in exchange. Damon is one of the few people who have rare blood. But what would he need that much blood for? A pint every three days is a lot.”“Not if he has a blood disease of his own. He may need it for himself or for someone close to him.”Hmmm, maybe. We pinned that to the board too. “He also said that he smelled like the King. Does that mean he's close to Adrian? He goes into Adrian's room?” I could see in her face that she didn't agree with me. “We don't know how long ago he smelled
KAYAMy next stop was Damon’s. He had some answers I needed. I had a feeling Damon wasn't working alone. The things he did, I feel like there was more behind it. If Damien had told Adrian about Nancy's illness, I'm sure he would have done everything in his power to make sure that she got the help that she needed. How hard was it to find rare blood? There were several wolves with blood diseases and- Wait, where have I heard this thing about rare blood before? Adrian! The doctor said that he had rare blood. Adrian would have been able to help out. I wonder where he got the blood to give Adrian. I headed straight for the dungeons when I got home. Damon was still there and I hadn't begun with his punishment yet. It was as I got there that I realized that the same cell had housed the guy arrested for the assassination attempt. Seemed like this was the cell for the crazy guys. “Bring him out. I need him to look me in the eye while he tells me his lies.”They dragged him out and p
KAYAI thought for a long time about what to write before it finally hit me. “It’s about time you reached out. I mean, it's only so long for a coward like you to hide. As for the boys you took, you can do what you want with them. I already got what I needed from them, either way so I have no use for them. Next time, send professionals. However, I don't think you have a history of doing things right. The assassination attempt and now, a failed executive? Maybe you need to learn a thing or two. If you have something you need to say to me or something you feel I should hear, why don't you show up and say it to me? I'll be willing to hear it over a cup of tea. Your lack of bravery won't let you show your face though. I bet you're ugly and disgusting to look at. That's why you can't show your face.Show up and maybe then, I'll believe that you're a real man. Until then, you're nothing but a dirty little rat.”I gave Nora the letter to read and she didn't get far before she looked at m
KAYAIt didn't take long for the doctors to come back with their results. I bumped into them on their way up that day and we all went to Adrian's room together. “So doctor, what do you have to tell me?” They brought out some papers from a file and one of them began reading from it. “Well, the other doctor was right. He is fine. He doesn't seem to be sick or have any infections. The King is in perfect health. His organs are also in good condition as well.”I'd heard all this before but I needed something new. Something that indicates life. I could see the sour look on their faces as they held something back. “There’s bad news, isn't there?” “We think the King is being poisoned.”I had to sit down. I was not expecting to hear that. “What did you say?” He handed the papers over to me. “We detected a toxin in the King's body that's not supposed to be there but it's there in large quantities. Which means that he has been given this over a long period of time.” Someone didn't wan
KAYAWhen the guards came to report to me that they had seen Natan sitting on the balcony with his legs dangling over it, I didn't know what to expect. I rushed out of the office and practically sprinted to his room, trying to find him. “Milo! Milo, where are you?”He wasn't on the balcony and there didn't seem to be anyone in the room. I was about to turn around and leave when the bathroom door opened. “Mum, what's going on?”I didn't even think about it, I just pulled him close for a very tight hug. “Mum, is everything okay? You're scaring me.” When I finally let him go, I could see that he looked really confused. “I thought -”I couldn't tell him what I had been thinking. I wasn't going to be the one to put ideas into his head. “The guards told me they saw you sitting on the balcony and when they told you to come off it, you refused.” He went to sit on the bed. “Oh, I was listening to music. I didn't hear them. Is that why you came running? You don't need to worry about
KAYAI should have known that they would turn it into something that it's not. Yesterday after the party, only a few Alphas showed up and said that they wanted to see me but when Nora came the next day and told me that almost all the Alphas were here for a meeting, I rolled my eyes..“ I knew they'd do this. They're where to bed on Damon's behalf. Like that's going to do anything.”I needed to see the argument they wanted to bring up when I told them that there were witnesses and testimonies, more than five infact, from men and women about his abuse. Normally, I wasn't even supposed to hear them out because I had already passed the decree but I wanted to hear what they had to say. I'm sure it will be entertaining. They had called for the Council as well? Wow, these people were really up to it. “Alphas, I received news that you have some grievances about a decision of mine. It was out of my respect for you that brought me out here and also out of boredom. I have nothing better to d
KAYA One of the of being Queen that I was definitely enjoying right now was the fact that I didn't have to be the one to go around to say hi to anyone. As soon as I came down the stairs, I headed at taught for my table and almost immediately, I was flocked to the left and river by people who wanted to say hi. They were suck ups, commenting on the littlest things and making them seem more than they were. With the way they were all acting so composed, j was now very sure that they had surely heard of what happened to Damon. Maybe it wasn't such a bad thing. I mean, he had to act like a lesson to them and they should learn. “Nora, those cupcakes look delicious. Can I have a couple?” She looked at me like I had said something sacrilegious. “The Queen of the Lycan Kingdom wants to eat cupcakes at a ball? Personally, I would have given you the tray so you can have fun but there are people here watching you. You'll look funny so I'll get you just one cupcake and then you can eat actu
KAYAI'd completely forgotten that in my bid to find the person behind the red crown symbol, I had sent out invitations for a dinner party. A dinner party that was never meant to hold. It was only after Nora returned from an assignment that she dashed into my office. “We have a problem.”I dropped what I was doing and turned to face her. “What is wrong?”“We have one day to plan a ball. Not just any ball, a big ball. How on earth could we forget this?!”So much had happened in the last few weeks and it was only expected that we would forget. “We’ll look for a way to make it work. It would be suspicious if we don't hold it anymore. Let's just get started on it.”The first thing was to go down to the kitchen and ask the Chef to prepare the menu as quickly as possible. Then, the decorations had to start as well as the cake. One day was a very short time. Most times, even a week wasn't enough to do everything and I was going to work magic in a day. I told the maid to get started w
