APRIL.“We must find a way to kill the child” Veronica paced around the room and from where I was seated by the windows, I threw a look back at her. “And what are you thinking?” I asked.“Thanine” She pressed her lips together and I batted my lashes to make sure I heard correctly. “Isn’t that too drastic—I mean it could harm Kayla as well” I said and this wasn’t me sticking up for her. It was just that Thanine was a poison used against us during the first war.Not the war with the Lycans but an ancient pack called Marseilles. I was too young to remember anything but Rose had told us of the time we were fooled into a truce declaration. The night that followed was a great feast to celebrate the end of the war.But the Marseilles had other plans.They’d slipped Thanine into our drinks and many of our pack members lost their lives that night. It was centuries ago and now, Thanine was banned across the lands which was the reason I hadn’t heard of it in a very long time until now. “We can

RAFAEL.“Help!” The guard leaned closer, placing Gerald’s phone in his hands next to the floor while I ached to even move an inch. There was evil in his eyes and terror in the voices rang screamed over the phone.“Help, we’re being attacked!” I recognized Sebastien’s voice first but as loud as they shouted, there was nothing I could do. “What…” I tried to speak before falling unto my back and then I faced the ceilings through eyes that grew hazy by the second. “The…the air” Gerald gasped for breath through his choking lips and his hands clutched his chest. “There’s something in the air” Lucien added and when I looked over to him, he was the first to be knocked unconscious. I breathed both heavily and painfully as I succumbed to the blackout and when he reached for the phone to end the call, all I could echo was—“Attack”However, that wasn’t the last thing I heard, it was her voice. “Rafael!”“Rafael!” Kayla screamed. “What are you doing to him?!”When I opened my eyes, it seemed as

“It was my home, even when you left me for dead there. I stayed there, I healed there and I was accustomed to my second chance fate there, the very reason I opened my eyes again and that was to make you pay. To avenge my people and my husband and my children” Rose looked behind and it was only April’s eyes that she met.Christina turned back and was sobbing in her hands.“You took my world from me and I’m going to take yours” Rose said and then brought her eyes to rest on Kayla. “Don’t do it” My heart lumped in the back of my throat and the words were laced with unease. “Kayla is your people too. She’s one of you, not of me. I take full responsibility for everything that happened that day including burning the house down but every decision that I took was never for me, I knew what it meant but I will also do anything to protect my people, like you would”“But Rose, Kayla is a member of Blood Moon. If you kill her today, that goes against everything you stand for. Is it really worth i

RAFAEL. The car sped across Oakland highway and I impatiently looked to the clock for the nth time in the last few seconds and we were still an hour away from the pack house. “Come on, come on” I muttered beneath my breath as I looked down at Kayla in my hands.She didn’t have up to one hour—her heart was slowly threading meaning the poison from the syringe was hastily flowing through her veins and the moment it did sting her heart, it was over. It was a battle against time but now, we’d gotten rid of the guards and Lucien had filled her stomach.We were all in the vehicle, including Veronica who stole glances from across the front seat whenever she heard my voice, knowing it was Kayla I was talking to but for the first time, I didn’t care.I didn’t care that she knew about us, I was tired of hiding—of living a lie and most of all, I was tired of hurting Kayla, over and over again even if it was never what I wanted to do. I should’ve never locked her in that cage because all of this

KAYLA.I used to hate looking into the mirror, at the scars and bruises carved into my skin that made me, me. I used to hate looking at myself because it was a treacherous reminder of what I wanted most to forget. But in this moment, the mirror was all I wanted to look into.I wanted to look at myself because as awful as it sounded, it seemed like I had forgotten. Ever since I opened my eyes, I felt different. I didn’t feel like Kayla and there was this awful feeling that tied my stomach in a knot. My hands fell to enclasp my bump as I stared at my reflection. It wasn’t entirely a bad thing to forget who I was before, maybe only then will I be able to let go of my past. But each time I remembered the child I was carrying, I prayed amidst everything that had happened, he was unharmed. I remembered it all, Rose standing above me and even as far as when Lucien was shot and he fell to the ground.I remember the feeling of a bag over my face and my lungs closing in on air. I remember the

KAYLA.I should be searching for books about the necklace or many similar amulets, I know. But it was a lot harder than you thought especially amongst the thousand books around us. So most of the time, something else caught my attention—either the book of the history of Lycans or the one about their never ending rules and principles.I rolled my eyes, but the truth was I used to love reading books like these growing up and I even remember stealing ones that belonged to my step siblings and then sneaking off to the garden to digest the pages. It was a weird but comforting hobby—reading.My hands wrapped around one particular book lined with red and silver and across the top was a boldened calligraphy of the word, Lineage. But as I flipped through the pages to start reading, someone appeared behind me. “You know you shouldn’t be reading that” As you would have guessed, it was none other than Lucien.I closed the book immediately, a little startled and when I turned back at him, he chuck
The Lycan King’s Omega Slave Fifty-One: Grief.
KAYLA.ONE WEEK LATER.My heart has never known this kind of pain—the kind of heartbreak that tears you down and renders time meaningless. You feel numb, even after days watching everything pass while you’re barely holding on. The kind of heartbreak that aches your soul and fills you with a million unanswered questions and it’s all you ever think about.The what ifs, and the what could have been.The kind of heartbreak that stems from your worst fear and leaves you uncertain whether or not you want to carry on. I would never wish that kind of pain on my own enemy—the pain I was going through right now.The pain of losing an unborn child.As I sat across my bed with my arms folded, it didn’t hit me that I haven’t left this place in a while. All I did was lie down here with my fece turned to the ceilings, drowning in my own tears. People had come by but they could only do so much especially as that wasn’t what I wanted.I don’t even know what I wanted and what I didn’t.All I had were w
The Lycan King’s Omega Slave Fifty-Two: Deja-Vu.
KAYLA.The sun rose up early in the morning before I could even get a chance to rest. All through the sleepless night, I found myself sitting with my back against the headboard and my arms around my knees. I gazed out of the windows but at nothing in particular.Just the gazillion thoughts that roamed in the back of my head that made it so difficult for me to close my eyes. I couldn’t stop thinking about what Sebastien had said and how eager he was to help me get to the root of the matter. He’d prescribed some medicines to get rid of the thanine that might have still been in my bloodstream.But there wasn’t a greater harm it could cause after killing my child and Someone I knew was the one who did it. It was obvious why the first name that came to my mind was Veronica’s but I waved it off because there was no how she knew that I was carrying a child as well.It was just between Christina and Sebastian and myself, and like the fool I was, I really wanted to believe that there was some
