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 ended up sleeping in Milo's room that night because I really didn't want to sleep alone. So I decided to sleep with him. In the morning, I had just opened my eyes when the door opened. Nora stood in the doorway, already prepped for the day and she signalled me to come out since Milo was still fast asleep. I slowly removed my arm from under his head, trying not to wake him up. “Tobias is here, in the waiting room.”Already? What time was it? “Nora, I need you to do something. Go to his office and get the files of Lucy's murder. I want to go through them. After that, I'll meet you up at the house. We need to go through her house to know what her life was like.”I'll just ask one of the guards to take me to Lucy's. “You’ll question him alone?” “Yeah, I just need to shower first.”I genuinely felt like I could use a few more minutes in bed but that phase of my life
KAYA“Kay-”“Adrian, please. I'm trying to get some sleep. Sleep that I couldn't get because you left me in that cell for days! Please, leave me alone.”I walked over to my side of the bed and pulled the covers over me. I didn't have time to banter words with him. “Why’re you acting like this? I thought I already apologized. Why are you making it to be something it's not?”I knew what he was doing. Riling me up so I would talk. But I won't give in to him. I had to get up early tomorrow. Tobias was coming and I was almost definitely going to be spending the first part of the day alone since I wanted Nora to go and get me the case files. After I saw Tobias, I would meet up with her so that we would go to Lucy's house together. From what I gather, the house had been closed down since the murder. I just hoped that no one had gone into the house after the murder to mess things up. “Kaya, going to bed while angry isn't going to make things better. Besides, I had no idea you were going
KAYAThat's exactly what I did when I got home.I headed for Lana's took where I saw the maid feeding her.“My Queen.”“Is she crying? Let me see her?”I dropped my bags and headed straight to take her. She seemed heavier as I carried her and her face lit up as I called her name.“Hello, my princess. Did you miss me? You seem to be going well.”I didn't know whether I should be happy that she was doing fine or I should be sad that she probably didn't notice that I was gone.“Maaamma!”I just froze, not being able to say another thing.I looked at the maid who had a big smile on her face.“Is that her first word?”Th
KAYA“Milo, where the hell is your father? Isn't he getting my texts? Why isn't he coming? Why didn't he come with you?”The door opened and Nora walked into the room. “I don't know. He hasn't been home. I haven't seen him yet.”What on earth was going on? Where was my husband? “What about your brothers? Are they okay?” He nodded. “They’ve been asking a lot of questions about you and dad though and I'm running out of things to tell them.”I needed to go back to my home. “Nora, get us out of here. I need to go back to my kids since my husband has forgotten who he is.”My head was still spinning when I tried to stand up. “Kaya, you need to rest. You hit your head pretty bad.”I touched my head and thankfully, there was no bandage. Only a bandaid. “Don’t worry about me. I'll rest when I go back home and check on my kids.”I could tell that we were still in the station, they probably just took us to the lounge area.By the time I get back home, Adrian better be dead or dying becaus
KAYA“I don't think he did it.” Was the first thing I told Nora as we entered the back of the car. “I know..I was trying to rile him up to see how bad his anger was. Perhaps that was what led to her death. But he remained calm.”I knew that was what she was trying to do..So what do we do now?Oh well, I'm sure this whole misunderstanding would be cleared up today because I couldn't spend another night in that cell. And why the hell had Adrian not come looking for me? Hadn't he checked his phone to see my texts or calls? And didn't Milo see the text?What the hell was going on?Didn't they realize that I wasn't around or were they finally relieved that I was out of the house?“Either way, we still need to find out what he and Lucy had that made him call her that much. It's not normal for a business relationship.”I'll try my best to speak to him today so he can clear things up..There were just too many inconsistencies. “I mean, if there was nothing going on between him and Lucy,
KAYAI don't know if Nora forgot that we were being arrested and we were going to have records and could possibly go to jail if not for the fact that we were who we were. But if this was a normal situation and we had really planned to kidnap that kid, there was no way we would not spend the rest of our lives in jail. She didn't even care about the fact that he was the district commissioner. I think that fact even irritated her more because she just kept speaking to him no matter what he said. It was like they knew each other before and she hated him already. “You kidnapped my son! There's nothing else you want to say! People in the bar agree with the story!”People in the bar? The motorcycle guy…he was the only one who could tell the truth. “The people in the bar are drunk fools! They wouldn't know what's happening even if the sun came down and fell on their heads. You want to believe them?”Nora was surely going to wear him out eventually. All I had to do was stand there and wa
KAYA“Get down and get out.”Weren't they supposed to bring us out? “We’re in cuffs, you flipping twit!”They turned around to look at us. Well, me and Nora's angry face. “Oh.”What did I do to deserve this?.They finally had mercy on us and brought us down from the car. “Walk straight and don't look at anyone. You're the bottom of the food chain.”He's not going to be on the food chain by the time I get out of here. The place was big. I'm guessing it's because it's the district. We got in the elevator and the only thing that could be heard at first was the changing of floors..Well, that was until the officers decided that they wanted to tell us about how wild their last night was. Nora couldn't hide the disgust on her face and she made sure that they saw it. “Do you have something to say, girl? Or you want me to hit it out of you?”“I’d like to see you try.”“What did you say?”As he walked over to Nora, I just closed my eyes because I was beginning to get sleepy and anything
KAYAI just sat there on the floor, thinking about my life..I felt quite weak and I was really hungry. My stomach made a noise and Nora heard it. “Was that you?”I nodded. It was funny how the two ladies in the cell passed out and till now, they haven't moved an inch. “Dont worry about it. I'll look for something to eat for you.”We were both in the cell. How would she find me something to eat? Besides, we both needed to eat. Not just me.An officer came back with fresh breath mints and opened our cells. “Look sharp. The father of the boy you took wants to see the two women who caused such a ruckus yesterday. You should have planned your escape better.” If we had truly kidnapped the kid, there is no way they would have never found us because as soon as we left the bar, that's the last time anyone will see us. But I just left them to believe what they wanted to. It was obvious everyone here was a knuckle head and I didn't have the time to engage them. If they were going to take
KAYABy the time I woke up, it wasn't morning yet and Nora was standing by the gate, staring out. “Nora, you know you're not on guard right? You can sit down. You can't stand through the night. You need to rest too.”She came back to sit beside me. “I’ll get us out of this. Don't worry, I'll think of something.”I didn't want her to put pressure on herself. Anything that wants to happen should happen. I didn't have the strength for anything that was happening right here. “Don’t bother yourself, Nora. We’ll be fine. As long as we don't get thrown in jail, nothing will happen. We'll figure a way to get through this.”It was past midnight and the activities in the station had died down. It just remained a few officers who hadn't fallen asleep asides the ones who had. I looked at the female officer who was busy working. She looked so focused. An idea suddenly struck me. I calle
