KAYA “Do you want to keep staying here? With them?” I looked at Adrian who was now on his feet, just a few meters away from me. I'd have to be foolish to agree to that. These people had made my life a living hell and I had looked forward to the day I'd get away from them. For the years following my mother's death, I'd lived at their mercy like some slave looking up to her master just to see the next moment. My father was looking at me with wide eyes, like he hoped I'd say yes. He had always been delusional. Always refusing to see the big picture. That was why my mother died. When she was sick, he was the one who refused to take her to the hospital because according to him, werewolves never got sick. I had a bad feeling about her illness and I begged him to get the pack doctor but he refused. Now, he wanted me to stay back so that he and his golden daughter and her boyfriend would continue to mistreat me. No way. “No. Over my dead body.” That finally got a reaction from Jackson
ADRIAN “How do you know that when you haven't spoken to her yet?”Did I really have to speak to her? If she had something to say, she would have talked since. “Besides, I need to determine if she's worth it. If she's worth loving. I can't just jump right into it again.”I'd made a mistake before and I wanted to avoid making it again. “So, what are you going to do with her?" I looked at her and she was still in that position. What was going through her mind? “She’ll stay with us for now. Since her wolf is hidden, it gives us time to get to know her very well and I'll need to see how she is with Milo.”Milo didn’t like a lot of people. It took time before he got used to Nora and that was one of my greatest fears when thinking about a mother for him. What if he didn't like Kaya? What would I do then? “What the hell, Addy-”“Don’t call me Addy!" I hated it when he called me Addy. Both he and Nora did it to piss me off and it worked every time. “Just admit that she has been everythi
Kaya The lady who I'd come to know as Nora led me into the house, walking ahead of me, giving me time to take in the sight in front of me. Right from the moment I stepped into the house, my mouth had fallen open. This wasn’t a house, it was a palace. It was purely magical, like a place right out of a fairytale. The ceiling was far above us, giving the large chandelier enough space to shine. The ground floor was big, big enough to accommodate the large steps in the middle of it. There weren’t any couches but there were vases and ancient decorations. All these looked very expensive.I’ve never seen any place like this before in the Wolf Kingdom, it’s no wonder they were trying earnestly to take over their kingdom. ‘C’mon. Your room is upstairs.” I looked back at Nora and nodded slightly. “My name is Nora, I’m Adrian’s Beta. I also train the military. I hope we can be friends.” My mouth almost dropped. The Beta wanted to be friends with me…a slave?The fact that she was a Beta was
ADRIAN I went in after them, going straight for the office. During my unfortunate arrest, a couple of incidents had taken place and I needed to attend to them immediately. Allister who was my gamma was already in my office waiting. Actually, he was on the office chair, spinning around and he didn't even notice when I walked in.“I’m so glad I'm back.”He jumped up as soon as he heard my voice.“Alpha, welcome back. The pack was not left unattended while you were away."We both laughed. I need to find a better Gamma. Actually, Allister was the best there was. He was the only guy I was ever close to and he helped me a lot when I needed him to be there. He was also the only one who managed to make me laugh. “Report.”His smile fell.“The Nakashi Cult. We just got word that they have attacked Stormborn Clan and our informant says that before daybreak, Bloodhound would be gone too.”I was shocked to say the least. How was that possible?“How is that possible?" He pulled in the chair
KayaI sat on the floor in utter confusion at Adrian's actions. I rubbed my aching elbow that had broken my fall and prevented me from hitting my face on the floor when he pushed me. ‘What the hell do you think you’re doing to my son?” He was hiding the boy away from me like I had done something wrong. “What do you mean? I wasn’t doing anything, I-” ‘Save it! I knew it was a mistake bringing you here. How dare you touch him?” What was he talking about? I wasn't even doing anything. I was only trying to help. He probably thought I was trying to hurt him. I wanted to explain to him what actually happened but he turned away from me and faced his son who had placed his head on his father’s shoulder. ‘Are you okay? Did she hurt you? Milo?”Milo didn’t say anything but he looked at me with tears in his eyes then looked back at his father. Even though I knew I didn't do anything to him, I couldn’t help but feel scared at what he was going to say.I hadn’t been here for up to half a day
KAYA By the time my eyes jolted awake, the sun was already very high in the sky and I jumped up from the bed, putting on my clothes in a hurry. I was surely done for this time. Serena was asking to have my head on a platter since her plan to kill me last time didn't work. And my father was going to be there for the whole show. I tripped over my own feet and fell face first into the rug. My room didn't have a rug… so where was this coming from? I raised my head and looked around me, realizing where I was. “I’m so stupid.”Serena and all of her bullshit were miles away, rotting away in that damned pack. I didn't have to be scared of them anymore because they couldn't hurt me here even if they tried. Sighing in relief, I got up from the floor and walked into the shower. I was still deciding whether the bathroom, the closet or the bed was my favorite part of this room. My bathroom had everything a girl could ever wish for. All the toiletries, it was decorated so beautifully and it
Kaya I watched others spar before us and I had to say. Most of these girls didn't look as strong as they were. The way they easily threw each other on the ground made me wonder if the women were like this, how would the men be? It finally got to my turn with Naya. Her eyes were on me like a hunter waiting to kill a prey. She looked confident that she would crush me just like that girl said. “You would regret embarrassing me this morning.”I wasn't even the one who had said anything to her. I had simply wanted to introduce myself and she took the opportunity to introduce me as a wet dog to everyone. Why didn't she take her anger out on Allister? Nora was right. I was no longer in Red Moon where I had to ensure every treatment. Now, I had to fight for myself or else, I would be treated like trash. Whether she was the former Beta's sister or the Beta himself, I had to stand up for myself. I know I had made an enemy and there was only one way to fight an enemy. “I did nothing to
Kaya I guess there were perks to being Alpha. Like being able to stop your wolf from gravely injuring another at the nick of time. As Naya lunged at me, I fell back, not having anywhere to run to so I ended up folding up and using my hands to cover my face. My hands and legs could take the hit but if my face got scratched, the scar may remain forever. I waited for it to come, praying that the scratch wouldn't be too deep so that I'd just walk it off. I was even lost in my thoughts that I didn't realize that I was waiting for Naya to scratch me. By the time I opened my eyes, I was looking in between two long legs. I wondered what was going on. “What do you think you're doing?!” Adrian shouted through the gym.The gym had fallen quiet and the stupid murmur and laughing had died down, leaving an awkward silence. “Alpha, we're fighting. She pushed me too hard and I lost control.” I pushed her too hard? More like she lost it because she's a coward and a psycho. “You should have k
KAYA That meant that Tim didn't know that Lucy was trying for a kid again. “I’ll come see you later, Tim. Just hang in there. You'll be out in a bit okay?”“That’s not what matters to me, Luna. I just want you to find who killed my wife. That's the only time I'll truly be at peace. If I get out without knowing what happened to Lucy, my life would never be the same.”I could understand his point. “And I'll do everything in my power to make sure that I find who did this. And I'll make them pay. I'll see you later.”I left him and went back upstairs. “I was about to come down to meet you. I've put people out to look for her. We should get news before the end of tomorrow.” I didn't see Lana in her arms so I figured that someone else had her or she had fallen asleep. I had been focusing on the wrong person so much that she had time to run away and we had no idea. But then, there was no way that I could have caught onto her trickery. If I hadn't gone to the house and decided to cal
KAYAHe nodded. “When she eventually told Lucy and Lucy told me, it happened to fall on a date when I was in the hospital for the injury on my leg. There was no way I would have been out because I was in surgery and I didn't wake up until three weeks later. When Lucy realised, she apologized to me and came back home. I forgave her. I didn't blame her one bit.“Alisha is manipulative. When she noticed that things were good again, she came for me. Lucy had to travel for some work. One night, I came back and found her in my home in nothing but lingerie. She climbed in through the window. I didn't even want to hear what she had to say before I asked her to get out. She cried and begged, saying that I wasn't being fair with her and that it wasn't fair that Lucy had to get everything she'd ever wanted. She said that Lucy didn't have to know what was going on between us and that we could keep it a secret.“The fact that she had lied against me before just made me even more angry and since s
KAYA She stayed on the phone for quite a while, while I asked the maid to get me something to eat. Maybe because I had rushed my food, I didn't feel like I'd eaten anything. She got off the phone before I could get my food. ”What’s going on? What did he say?”I could see the disappointed look on her face.“He says the house is empty. It's like no one ever lived there. She packed up everything and left.” What? Packed up and left? “Why would she do that? How the hell didn't he see that she was leaving?” ”He said she must have done it in the dead of night. I don't know. I'll only run when I have something to hide.” Did Alisha run? Or was she forced into leaving? With Alisha not in the picture, that just left a lot of loose ends untied. There were a lot of questions to ask her and now that she was MIA, there was no one to ask them. “I need to see Tim. I'll be right back.” Since I couldn't get to Alisha, I might as well speak to someone who might have known her. I need to know
KAYANora helped me grab the first aid box and as soon as I put the soaked cotton wool to her skin, she turned around and looked at me like I had betrayed her. “I’m sorry, I'm sorry. I'll soon be done.” I threw that one out and went in another time with another soaked cotton wool. She didn't flinch for that one. “Well, that means I can't put on another diaper for her.”I just put a bandage over the wound and put on another diaper. “Who helped her get dressed today?”“I don't know, I'm guessing it's a maid. she was already dressed by the time. I went to pick her up.”Since I wasn't exactly having anything to do outside the house, I'm guessing I would be spending a lot of time inside. Sandy and Alisha were coming over. “I’ll be at home today so I'll take care of her. Are you going out?” She shrugged. “I don't know yet. Adrian might want me to do something for him today.” Adrian…“Okay then. Please call Sandy and Alisha to check again if they're still coming. I don't want to spen
KAYAI slept in my room alone again today.Right now, I wasn't fighting with Adrian but I didn't want to be in the same room as him. Because no matter how much I tried to avoid it, we would most definitely fight.And right now, I didn't have the strength or will power to get into a fight with him. He however, didn't understand what I was trying to do.He wanted to fight. And I didn't.So he came to my room that night to look for me.I didn't even know it was him. I thought it was Milo who had come to tell me that Lana had fallen asleep. I had to leave her with him because I was falling asleep and since she still had so much energy in her, he took her.“Come in!” I simply shouted without even turning aroud.When I heard the door opend and shut, I close
KAYA“Detective, I'm sure it goes without saying that a man who killed his wife won't jeopardize himself. Tim didn't do this.”I'm pretty sure he had gottne that memo so I dismissed him after reminding him to find Lucy's phone quickly.I didn't think that whoever took it would be stupid enough to leave it on but I had to count on that little possibility that they were and hope that they could find the phone.When the detective left, Tobias remained.“Nora, can you check on the kids for me? Lana should be having her second bottle by now.”She nodded and left, realising that I didn't want to speak to Tobias in front of her.“Tobias…”“You realise that what your officers have done is unforgivable. What if we are never able to find who
KAYA“When Tim told you that he had seen a keychain and a bag on the counter, why didn't you believe him?” “Because we didn't see it for ourselves. We thought he was trying to throw us off. He had just been caught with his wife's body. He'd do angbting to get out.” While that was right, it was also stupid. Would he kill and stay here to mourn her? “He was crying. Tim was crying when he was found right? Would a murderer cry after his killing? Or would he run as fast as he can so he won't be found?”Seemed like there was a whole lot more to police work than passing the military exam. “My Queen, psychopathic serial killers have done worse from cutting up the victim's bodies to -” “Is Tim a psychopathic serial killer?” That question threw him off guard but he had to answer it. I needed answers. “My Queen-”“It’s a simple question, detective. Is he or is he not?” “He’s not.”I was tired of speaking to him. It was annoying. “So why would you classify him with them? Do you have proo
KAYA“Twenty minutes isnt a lot of time to do all that.”I brought out my phone and called Nathan. “Nathan, I need your help okay? You don't have to be scared. I want you to help me go down to the dungeons and give Tim the phone. I need to speak to him.” I thought he reject to do it. I didn't want to have to call Adrian. That was if he was even at home and not going around with his new son. “Okay.” I stayed on the line while he went down to the dungeons.I needed to hear what he had to say about that day and not what he told the police. He had been under a lot of stress at that point and it was only reasonable that he would tell them what they wanted to hear just so that they would leave him alone. Nathan gave the phone to the guard at the gate so I could tell him to let him pass through and take him down to Tim's cell. “Um mum, he's here.” “Tim, can you hear me?” Someone cleared their throat in the background. “My Queen, yes I can hear you. Is there any problem?”“Tim, I'm i
KAYA I looked over the calendar. It was obvious that she had used this yo time her missed periods, fertility window and the time she'd get pregnant. “That is not enough proof that she was cheating. We can only speculate. There are still a lot of loose ends.” She was right. “Why don't you look through their personal effects and I'll check through the house?”I nodded and she left me in the room. I was here to find out about Lucy's life so I would check her things first. There were some papers on the nightstand. All they were were cards and random notes. I looked through her clothing, hoping to find a safe or something that the police hadn't looked through yet. I searched her entire closet but nothing came up. Did Lucy have any secrets? As a woman, if I had something to hide, where would I hide it? The police had already been through this place and they didn't find anything. Hmmm, maybe I should read the case files. Maybe then, I'll have a better picture of what happened.
