Kayla’s POVBecause it took until the next day before we were allowed to leave, Sapphire and I had to sleep at her frenemy’s house. Not that she told me anything about the boy and his mother, I just felt that they were once friendly with her but now…not so much. The second we got the secret message that only the Mystiks could understand, Sapphire and I left that morning, and throughout she was so moody and it made me uncomfortable because she’s normally bubbly and energetic so why is she acting this way? “ What should I do?” she asked me all of sudden as we kept walking back to Mystik capital where their house was located. I looked at her and she was crying. Other people were walking back to the capital as well and I didn’t want to make a scene so I just pulled her aside and placed my hand on her shoulder. This was so weird for me to do because I’ve never had any reason to console anyone, I’ve always been the consoled one. What would Becka do? I sighed and said to Sapphire,” what
Kayla’s POV“ This makes no sense Sapphire. How can Max be your mate? Isn’t Aubrey having some kind of “thing” with him?”“ She’s not. She is in love with Hector, I send her to meet Max and to beg him to…allow me to reject him.” I couldn’t believe this, none of it makes sense. If she knows Max is her mate, why would she want her sister to convince Max into them breaking their mate bond? On second thought, I don’t know Max very much but from what I’ve seen so far, he is not worth Sapphire at all. How could he experiment his powers of submission on her? Maybe this is the best thing she can do because if she lets Max have her then he will keep on abusing his powers on her and eventually everyone else when he becomes Alpha. “ But…what about his girlfriend, Barbara?” I asked, remembering that Barbara is Max’s girlfriend. “ She’s the one his parents want for him.” “ Then since he’s already dating the girl his parents approve he should leave you alone and stop using you as a tool.” “ Bu
Kayla’s pov Hector did not sit while listening to what Sapphire had to say, he stood by the door, folding his hands and every time Sapphire would say something that provoked him, his eyes would turn gold and revert to their original color. I realized how much Sapphire meant to him, she was like a little sister to him, one he would kill for but…why didn’t he show the same attitude to Aidan? I took a deep breath, calming myself so that I do not ruin his mood any further. Whatever answer I need from him about Aidan he would not give it to me in the current state of mind he is in. By the time Sapphire finished talking, there was complete and total silence in the sitting room where we all sat. The only sound that I could hear was the sound of the clock ticking and the heartbeat of each one of us. Theresa’s heart was thumping quite fast because she was just told that Aubrey is in love with Hector and has absolutely no feelings for Max the way she’s been pretending to and then her younges
Hector’s POVThe minute I told Kayla the message that had just been passed across, I could see her panicking inwardly. She was worried but I didn’t know if it was because of me or because she already knew Aidan was around.“ This is obviously Aidan’s handwork. I knew the moment he came here that he was here as a diversion.” She said, throwing the others into confusion because they do not know Aidan. “ Wait, who is Aidan?” Sapphire asked. It wasn’t long after she asked this that she gasped, realizing who Aidan is. “ He is your mate, right? The one from Redwolf?” Sapphire was asking to confirm but the door flung open and Lea entered with a worried look on her face. “ What the literal Hector! Why the heck are they framing you for this?” she asked angrily shutting the door from inside so that no one else can enter from outside the house. This is my favorite thing about Lea, she and I may be mostly goofy around each other but she knows when shit is real and she knows what I’m capable a
Hector’s POVIt was not easy slithering past men who were on the lookout to capture me and take me to Max no doubt but I knew it would be better for me to go on my own to confront Max. He would act a bit less foolishly than if he had a crowd, then he would want to make an example of me and I know that my wolf will lose control and I will beat the crap out of him. If that happens that would only make people truly believe that I killed Alpha Jax and is now coming for his son. As far as I was concerned, Alpha Jax cannot be dead. Max is playing games again and I know this is just one of the most stupid games he’s played so far. When I got to the cellar, no one was there, not even Aidan. I was thinking about where Max could be when a young man spotted me, he was going to raise an alarm but I sped off to where he stood and snapped his neck. I didn’t really go hard with the neck-snapping so he wi wake up eventually. The way he kept looking Eastward where Alpha Jax’s house was, I believed
Kayla’s POVFrom the moment Hector left the house and locked us inside, we stayed inside quietly inside each of our rooms. No one was talking to the other and no one left even though they have their keys. I couldn’t sleep and I didn’t have a phone to take my mind off of what was happening so I kept thinking back about how these past few weeks since I left Redwolf has been for me. Could my life be worse than it is here? I mean, I’ve only been in school for a day and it was cut short because of that damn thing called a dew. But the first few moments were okay. If I were in Redwolf they’d all be ridiculing me because Aidan rejected me and chose to be with April. As I lay on the bed thinking, the most unexpected thought came through my mind. “ What if Aidan rejected you because of the Mate Slayer? What if he never wanted to leave you?” I instantly became irritated by the thought and decided to clear that thought out of my mind. Aidan rejected me because he wanted to reject me, there wa
Kayla’s POV “ I love you, Kayla,” Hector said, his eyes filled with so much emotion as the words came out of his mouth. This meant so much to me because I have never in my life had someone say that to me. I didn’t know that I was crying until he wiped the tear off my cheeks and brushed his lips against mine softly. I unconsciously parted my lips and his tongue slid in, entwining with mine and sending shivers down my body as we both kissed each other desperately. Every touch left me wanting more, the way he pulled me so close that my breasts pressed against his firm body, the way his fingers tickled my scalp as he fisted them into my hair, the way his lips took mine delicately and then roughly just the way I wanted it to. I knew that Hector is the one for me – the one I choose, but it wouldn’t be cool for us to have sex the day he loses a father figure. So instead, we shared one last kiss before I did something I’d never done before, I sang Hector to sleep and watched him sleep like
Kayla’s POVI was indeed surprised by how Max allowed Sapphire and Carl to speak to each other while he stood outside talking with Hector. When they were done talking, Carl left and since I had very good hearing I could hear him telling Max that he is grateful to which Max said nothing. He immediately entered the room and Sapphire’s smile disappeared. “ Please…can I talk to Sapphire.” He said with painstaking slowness. I bet it hurt like a bitch for him to say the word, please. “ Sure you can, she’s right here,” Aubrey said but he shook his head and said,” alone” “ Sapphire…are you okay with this?” Azalea asked. Sapphire took in a deep breath and nodded. We all gave Max a warning look before exiting the room. “ Hey,” Hector said the minute I came out with Aubrey and Azalea, the next thing I know he was kissing me senseless and I lost myself in his arms, kissing him and forgetting that I wanted to listen in on Sapphire and Max’s discussion, just in case he does anything stupid. *
Kayla's POVAfter a perfectly calm night with Hector. Alpha Drey struck, just like I predicted. We woke up to whispers rather than screams and being that my hearing was stronger than Hector's, I could hear a lot more than he could but I guess the little he heard was enough to get him worried. " What do they mean by Aidan is leading a war to us? We're the one bringing the war to him." Hector said. His eyes glowed as he looked at the clock in my room and shook his head. " it's literally 2 am. I can't even get one last sleep."" Oh, so you slept?" I asked and he turned to look at me. " Of course, I slept my love," he said softly while I looked away just in case I blushed. This wasn't the time for me to be romantic or receiving romantic gestures. It was a time for me to be alert and ready to fight anyone who is in the way of the way the world should be." I wanted to dream of a future where you and I are nothing but happy together. That's what I wanted and I swear I was just having that d
THE DAY HAS COMEKayla's POVEverything is set. We have gotten every single Alpha from all packs briefed on the battle we are currently fighting against Alpha Drey. We need to win so that we can have the Alpha Trinity like the way it used to be. That way there will be more balance within all packs and Nova will perform a ceremony officially naming Aidan, Max, and Hector as the Alpha Trinity.She also found a way to kill Alpha Drey without harming Aidan and everything seemed to be going smoothly. At first, we thought we failed to convince the people to trust us but eventually, they started coming out to the woods where Hector had taught us to shift for the first time. That was where he chose to host the feast. All those children who were sick were also brought to Hector and he made them feel better by reversing whatever spell that was on them before and that just earned him an extra point from the people. Everyone was seated around the huge bonfire that was set up at the center. Tha
Kayla's POV" You're what?" I gasped when I found the person who screamed like that. Hector was behind me the whole time and he wasn't saying anything. " I'm pregnant" she squealed. I didn't understand, she is nineteen but excited about a pregnancy. Is she ready for this? I guessed that she must be seeing the way she was so happy about the news. Max on the other hand was terrified. He didn't say it but his face told the story." Wow, congratulations Sapphire," I said, hugging her but she didn't hug me back." I know you don't think I'm ready for a baby" " I just think maybe you should discuss this with Max. I mean, how did you find out anyway?" " The child's heartbeat and yes, I have already talked about it with Max. He's so terrified!" She said laughing a little too loudly before she noticed Hector standing behind me." Hector...are you okay?" She asked and Hector nodded before he playfully poked her stomach and said, " guess I'm going to be an uncle soon" " Yeah, and maybe one d
Kayla's POVI had been looking for Hector for thirty minutes before I found him. He was at his spot just like I thought and was just sitting alone on the ground." Hector, are you okay?" I asked and he nodded. I could tell that he nodded even though his back was facing me." So...did you get to do it?" I asked, moving carefully towards him because I still feared that he was a little bit on edge. " No" he finally said as I stood in front of him. " How did you stop the kill mode?"" Suthee," he said simply but he didn't look at me. His eyes were a little bit red. He cried before I got here." Suthee? That's what you said to me to stop me before." " Yeah," he said and sniffed." I really wanted to kill him though but I found out he - as in Aidan has left Mystik pack in search of Max and Sapphire. He didn't know they were here already."" Oh..." I said, not knowing what I should say to him. Aside from the fact that his eyes were red, there was no way of telling if he was angry, upset,
Kayla's POVI watched as Nova slept, Sapphire and I successfully removed the creature inside her and had it burnt, and because of the trauma, she experienced we had to inject her so she could sleep. I felt so bad for her because she's been through a lot and seemed like someone who has never had anyone to hold on to. I mean Hector is there but he's her son and there are things she may not want to share with him because she doesn't want him to feel burdened by anything. I am talking about a partner for her. Someone, she can lean on. She has no one like that. Sapphire and I were talking about it a while ago before she went to find people who will help us dispose of those bodies. We planned on holding a brief meeting, telling the people exactly what is going on and what they should be on the lookout for because as Max said, we have to go through this together and that means we all have a part to play in this matter. Now all I was thinking about was Hector. I felt so uneasy about him r
Kayla's POV" Okay, so there's an Alpha Trinity, and Aidan is one of them, Max is also one of them. I get that part" I said after digesting the heavy info Hector failed to tell me yesterday after our night together. I chose not to be mad at him for it because, well...that would get me distracted from the issue at hand." What I don't get however is how that explains why there are people mauled to no recognition in the bathtub while Aidan is gone," I said and Max nodded." Sorry, I digressed a little," he said before he continued speaking, " You see I believe that the last member of the Trinity is Alpha Drey" " That makes no sense. He should be around the same age as you and Aidan."" Yeah he should, my mom has umm...known him before," Hector said and Sapphire seemed to know more about this " knowledge" Hector's mother had of Alpha Drey. Also, why does she know him? " I know but what if one of the Alpha trios betrayed them and asked to be brought earlier? He came back earlier and star
Hector's POVWhen I left Kayla and left her locked in my basement. Every inch of me felt so wrong about it. That woman is strong, I know it. She can take good care of herself no doubt but I couldn't let her go on kill mode. What if I'm not there to control or stop it, I don't even know how I did it the last time. Immediately I came out of my house, the first person I saw was Tia, of course, she couldn't see me because I was still playing invisible. " There's no way that boy in there is Aidan" I heard her say as she walked past me with another woman. I was surprised she even had company. Since she came to Mystik pack seeking a truce, she's been left on her own. No one speaks to her and no one speaks of her. I had always wondered why she was so abandoned by even her own pack and I got my answer three weeks ago from Becka who has been in Redwolf for a while. She said that Tia broke their trust as a pack by ratting out her husband's location when those masked men came looking for him.
Kayla's POVAfter explaining to Sapphire the reason why she can't just walk around freely, she was shocked and Theresa was losing her mind about it. " Sapphire please do as they say. I just got you back, I can't let anything happen to you," she said and Sapphire just covered her face in disappointment. " What about Max?" Aubrey asked." Max is on his way with some more kids" Sapphire responded sounding so devastated about everything. "How long do you think it will take for him to get here?"" I think, maybe in a couple of hours. What do we do now? I can't just sit here and do nothing."" No, you aren't, and neither am I. We have to end this whole thing with him here and now "" What?! You're not even prepared, please don't risk my daughter's life for this momentary feeling of determination you're having." Theresa warned me." Okay...but the more we remain quiet about this, the more everything will get worse. Don't you know that he's planning something right now even as we speak?""
Kayla's POVI ran as fast as I could to Theresa's house but when I got there she wasn't home, neither was anyone else. So I just sat on the steps and ran my hands through my hair as I tried to process what just happened. I almost killed Tia! What would've happened if Hector didn't stop me? Aidan would hate me forever and I would hate myself forever because even though I hold a grudge against her, I would rather not kill her for it. I want her to live to see me accomplish everything she probably never thought I would. I don't know how long I sat there, I just heard some footsteps and wiped my eyes dry. " Kayla?", " Mom, it's... Kayla." " Hi," I said, still wiping tears off of my face so I look less pathetic. Azalea looked surprised to see me, Aubrey just stood silently beside her mother who still smiled at me as always. When I saw how consistent Theresa's smile always is, I started feeling teary-eyed again. " my child," she said, dropping her bag on the ground as she crouched and h
