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
KAYAWho knew living with witches could be this fun?I woke up in the morning and there was already food on my table. Everything I needed was at my neck and calm and at first, I felt weird about it but now that I've been here for a week, I'm totally enjoying it.Something happened these past few days though. During the night of the full Moon, I hadn't been let out at all throughout the day.Then at night, the witches came to me.“It is time..”My eyes widened as I heard them say that. What did they mean? Were they going to kill me now that they had finally fed me and I was almost as far as a cow?I didn't even want to ask but I had to know..“What do you mean?”“Tonight is the night they plan to take you. So we will be here with you. No matter what they do, they won't get to you.”I didn't understand what they were trying to say.“Wait, who's that? Who are the people coming after me?"“The Cult. It's the night of the Full Moon and you are the prime target so we will stay with you and
ADRIANWhen they called for another meeting, I didn't want to attend because after the last time that they seemed to lose their mind over the whole issue, I didn't want anything to do with them. Kaya had asked that I dissolve them, seeing as they had nothing to offer me. I would have done that but I didn't have the strength to go through the stress of picking out new councilmen. There were many processes involved and I didn't have the time nor willpower to do all that. After thinking about it for a while, I decided to just show up since I didn't exactly have anything to do. I'd caught up with the sleep I'd missed for the past few days now, I was bored. So me showing up to the meeting had nothing to do with formality. It just gave me something to do. As soon as I sat down on that throne, I began feeling sleepy again. Their presence was draining.“My King, we the elders have sat down and disc
KAYARoy came the next day with another brown envelope. I may have my daughter back but I still had to find the person responsible for taking her. So basically, all my problems weren't solved. “No need to show me. I'm sure you've given through it. What does it say?”“The same thing. Latex gloves.”Great. So we were back to square one with nothing. How exactly was I going to find out who was doing this if I didn't even know who to look for? The door opened and Adrian walked in. “Don’t worry. You don't need to hide. I already know what this is all about.” How did he know? Or did Nora tell him? He read my mind. “No one told me. You dropped the envelope in Lana's room and I saw it.”Shit. Oh well, since he now knew what was going on, I guess it meant we now had more help. “I’m judging based on the look on your faces that you didn't find a
KAYAThat was enough to cause a disturbance and I let it happen. I could see the guilty ones getting offended by what I had said but that was fine. We all knew what had happened.I turned to Adrian. ”What was the last one I said?”“Misogynistic!” He shouted like a child in class who had been waiting for him to be called upon.“Yes, misogynists. Does the King holding a baby make you mad? Not just any baby, a female. She's not supposed to be anywhere near the throne right? I'm not supposed to even be here. All according to your damn laws that hold no place for women. I don't blame you. The last king was just like you..small minded.”“My Queen, don't speak like that! Mind your tongue. You are in the presence of the King.”They clearly didn't know who they were dealing with. The presence of the King. “Adrian, tell me. How do you see your father?”“Small minded, My Queen. My father, alt
KAYA I was quiet because I wanted them to say everything that they had to say. I knew it was bullshit when Selena said she didn't want anything from Adrian. Left to her, that was what she wanted. Everything. I could see that she was greedy and if we dared to give her even a little, she would ask and ask and ask for more and in the end, I would be the one to regret it because I had asked Adrian to give in to her demands. Since they were down talking, Adrian began. “Since the beginning of it all, there has been one thing that has been on my lips. The boy is not my heir. Of course, it's no fault of his that he was born but then it doesn't change the fact that I already have an heir.” “But My King, the Prince hasn't been crowned as the Crown Prince yet so technically, you don't have an heir. You can still make changes to things now that things aren't official yet.”
KAYAThe next morning, I'd forgotten about the court session so I had to be reminded by Nora later that afternoon. As soon as I woke up, I went straight to Lana's room because I needed to feed her. She had woken up three times through the night to cry. One of the times, it had been because of food and the next, it was because she wanted to be held so Adrian held her for about two hours, rocking her back to sleep while I tried to fight the sleep from my eyes. “You should sleep. You've been dozing for too long.”I opened my eyes again. “No, it's fine. I'm awake, I don't need to sleep. Is she asleep yet?”He looked down at her and smiled. “Not even a little.”Gosh, it's like a new born baby all over again. “Just sleep, I'll put her down to sleep.”I'd never been more grateful for having a partner as I was in this moment because I really needed the sleep. By the time I woke up,
KAYAMy baby had woken up. I'd been sleeping already and Adrian was in the room doing something.I'd woken up to check on him when I saw something move out of the corner of my eyes. At first, I thought I had seen wrong. “What are you doing?”Adrian looked up from his phone. “Nothing. I just can't sleep.”I pat the space behind me. “Come here.”He got up from the chair and walked over to the bed..Since Lana was still a baby, she had to stay in her cot and not on the bed so Adrian and I took the bed. He was staring at her for too long so I stood up and walked over to him. “What is it? Why're you looking at her like that?” He didn't answer and I just joined him in looking at her..then I saw it properly. Her hand moved. Adrian moved immediately. “I’ll get the doctor”.As soon as Adrian left, her eyes slowly opened
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
