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 POVSapphire came out of her room fuming with anger. Just then Max’s mother started to climb up the stairs whilst asking excitedly for the next Luna. I quickly went up to Sapphire and tried to help her calm down which she did quite easily and just in time, she smiled at Max’s mother and lowered her head in greeting. “ Aren’t you one of her sisters? Come on let’s go. The ceremony is about to start.” She said to me and I smiled and nodded at her. This woman’s husband died yesterday and she’s being all smiles today, that was very suspicious. Too suspicious in fact. But since they said he died a peaceful death, I decided not to read meaning into anything. We stayed in a tent outside just a stone's throw from the open field where Max’s father’s funeral was to be held as well as Max’s new reign as Alpha. Considering how much Hector has told me about Max being so ambitious about being Alpha, Max looked very upset and unenthusiastic about everything. He was dressed in loose white
Kayla’s POVPandemonium broke out amongst those of us present as the light shined over Hector. But the confusing thing was that the light was still over Max but it wasn’t as intense as it was over Hector. “ I believe this ceremony has been shifted. We should go.” Someone said from behind us. We turned around and it was Theresa. I didn’t think that she would come since she was never in support of Max and Sapphire’s mate bond.Sapphire was relieved, she quickly left with us as the crowd dispersed while Dane talked with the former members of Alpha Jax’s council. I didn’t know what all this meant but I hoped to hear an explanation. “ Guys, what is going on?” I asked when we got home. Since it was Theresa’s home we were being free with each other, knowing that no one can spy on us. “ It seems that Jax had a son with another woman before he even met me or Max’s mother,” Theresa said, sitting on the couch and looking completely lost in thought. “ And Hector is that son?” Aubrey asked an
Kayla’s POV“ Where the hell have you been? How could you even take supplies!” Theresa yelled at Sapphire as she finally joined us in the bush path where we were waiting for her. “ It doesn’t help that you’re yelling mom,” Sapphire said dryly before she joined us in the car. She sat beside me and her hands lightly brushed mine, making me shocked at how cold her body was. Even her breathing was uneven. She was afraid and tense but she didn’t look it. “ So where are we going?” Azalea asked for the thousandth time. Hector sighed and said, “ Why don’t you tell us, Sapphire?” Sapphire froze and looked at me before she looked out the window, saying nothing. “ Sapphire. I know you saw him. Your heart is beating like crazy and your breathing is so uneven it sounds like your lungs aren’t working.” “ What does breathing have to do with lungs?” she muttered and he chuckled at her ignorance. Wow, she really doesn’t know any biology, does she? I said to myself. “ He said I should give you th
Kayla’s POV“ Hector…” I said, when I saw him sitting at what seemed like a high table of some sort. He was seated with a very beautiful woman, her hair was black, long, thick and curly like his. The first thought that came to my mind was she must be his sister but when I looked closely, her eyes were silver like Hector’s. “ Drew, who is this girl?” the woman asked, looking at me from head to toe while he pulled me with him as he walked towards her table. The aroma of meat and bread made me so hungry as I walked past all the occupied tables. “ She is...Drew started to say as he looked at me and probably wondered in his mind, “ Who is she really?”“ She’s Kayla Baynes” Hector said, getting up from his sit and moving so quickly to meet me. “ Kayla, are you alright? Drew, why does she look so pale? You didn’t place her in that terrible room did you?” he asked, staring daggers at the man while he wrapped his hands around my shoulder, pulling me closer to him. He too was covered in a sw
Kayla's POV " Kayla, wake up. Kayla!" I heard different voices calling while they shook my shoulders vigorously as if that would help me wake up. But I was having it yet again - sleep paralysis. My mind is aware that I am awake, I can hear what they are saying clearly but my eyes wouldn't open even though I was trying to get up. " Oh god! She's awake."" Sapphire?" I said, taking a closer look at her as she hovered over me on the bed I was currently lying on. " Yeah? It's me. Are you okay?" She asked, sitting beside me and trying to help me as I attempted to sit up. " Yeah, just hate this whole fainting thing," I said, looking around and seeing that everyone I came here with was present. Aubrey was standing beside her mother and Azalea while Hector...well he wasn't here. " Hector is training outside. He's been by your side for about two hours until we came." Aubrey said when she saw me searching for him frantically with my eyes." Oh" I said then I kept quiet. Thinking back at what
Kayla's POV" Whenever I heard of Rogue town, I always thought it was some kind of empire. I mean I can see that it was a great place but...it's so desolate right now. I don't understand." I said to Nova. After she told me that she could do more than induce a dew in someone, I became curious and I wanted to know what she meant. Then she aroused my curiosity even more by saying that everything she can do now is because of my father. It was as if she could tell that I wanted answers immediately but still, she asked that I have a bath and eat properly before I join her in a garden at the back of the tall building where she lives. That was exactly what I did immediately after she left the room. I put on the clothing I saw on the bed and sprinted to the garden to meet her.It was on my way that I saw that the room I came out of was one of the rooms in the Apex quarters and I believe it was called that because it was the tallest and largest building in the territory and that's where Nova l
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
