Aidan's POV" She saw what?" Nova asked immediately I told her why I brought Becka to her room. Hector didn't even look my way or Becka's at all. I knew he was still drowning in self-guilt because of all that's been going on lately but I was starting to feel like he was going too far. I'm sure Kayla must've told him how much Becka means to her so he couldn't look at her because he feared she may blame him for Kayla's absence or... maybe I am wrong. " Hi," she said to Nova who just looked at her from head to toe. " Hi," Nova said, and then she exchanged looks with Hector. " You said you saw Kayla and she's living with a man called Alpha Drey?"" Yes, and they're calling her a different name now, Freya" The minute Becka said Freya both Nova and Hector seemed to be afraid. " What did she sound like? Did she still sound like herself or did she sound like this Freya?"" That's...well, she sounded like herself but her mannerisms were different. "" They've trapped her soul somewhere a
Hector's POVI hurled immediately after we reached where Nova had us magically transported. That was one of the worst feelings of my life! I felt like my soul left my body and then it came back into my body only to leave again the moment we landed. " This is not cool Nova. Didn't even give us a heads up" I heard Aidan say as he too wiped his mouth clean after hurling as well. " You'll get used to it eventually," she said as she placed Becka's body carefully on the sand. " You're joking, right? You expect us to really do that again? After this experience? No way. I'm never doing that again, even if I have to trek several miles into the..." I stopped paying attention to Aidan's rambling and looked around us. We were on an island with so many palm trees and coconut trees clustered together to form an amazing shade, immediately you come out of the sea. " It's an island," I said and turned around to find that I'd already wandered a little too far for them to hear what I just said.Nova
Aidan's POV" Hi," Kayla said to me and Hector as she stood in front of us with a big smile on her face but nothing seemed right. It seemed like she was someone else. I knew I was right when she looked over at Becka's body lying on the floor but didn't seem surprised. " Hi, Kayla," Hector said but he too seemed to notice that something was off. " Ah...was I being too obvious? I shouldn't have been so obvious I guess" she said, smiling mischievously at both Hector and me." It's Freya. So, Hi!" She said, grinning from ear to ear as if she expected that we would be happy to know that she is hosting someone else's body - the body of a girl who's very important to us." What do you want?" Hector asked. " Oh...you know. Just wondering what you and Nova are doing here... I thought I made it clear to her that she can't be here!" She said, looking at the ground and then slowly looking at me and Hector. I was wondering what she meant by she's made it clear to them that Nova can't be there.
Aidan's POVAs I awaited my fate, I noticed that despite all that Freya had done, Becka's body laying on the floor was unharmed! I don't know why I did I thought of it or how I managed to pass across the message to Hector who looked at me at the exact moment that I looked at him but the second our eyes met, he knew exactly what I planned to do. He shut his eyes and the next thing I knew, he was on his feet. He slid his feet over Freya's and she fell to the ground while her ball of energy crashed on her but Hector was able to grab Becka's body. He beckoned on me to join him immediately, which I did without knowing why. But when I saw him closing his eyes and whispering some words, I quickly clung unto him and shut my eyes too as if that would help. I could already feel my entire body going faint as we were about to disappear and appear somewhere only Hector knows when we heard Nova yell, " don't! Wait, I've got her" Hector got so distracted that he stopped, making us fall to the grou
Hector's POVAfter Nova, Aidan, and I returned from Drey's island, we met chaos in Rogue town. The last thing I expected happened right before our eyes, the Rogues betrayed us. While Nova and I quickly placed Kayla's body on the bed beside Becka who was also not waking up, Aidan suddenly came back saying that his mother is plotting a coup. It sounded ridiculous that the Rogues would allow a wolf from Redwolf to rule them but Aidan argued that she was the best option they had because they still believe that Baynes and Kent, Aidan's father were best friends. Nova told me the real story and it's safe to say that Kent and Tia were backstabbers, gold diggers, and betrayers. That was their reality but not a lot of people know this. To them, Kent and Tia would be their Savior. Unfortunately for me and Nova, too many people believed this and the fact that we brought Kayla back was so unacceptable to them that they launched their attack against us immediately. With Nova's help, we were able
Kayla's POVI sat up, drawing in a breath of fresh air sharply as though I have been dead for a while. This was so strange. The last thing I remember was waking up in a room filled with men that I thought were doctors but they ended up sticking knives inside me. They kept saying things about... Rogues taking everything from them and them wanting my blood but asides from that I don't remember anything else. Nothing makes any sense. Not even this very beautiful platinum blonde girl who seems like she's seen a ghost. " Kayla!" She said and I knew instantly that she must've been speaking to me but I felt bad for her and myself as well because I don't remember so many things. My memory is scrambled and I don't even know if I'll remember what's happening right now by tomorrow." Hi?" I said and another girl from across the bed got up, gasping as if she'd just been submerged under water. " Kayla?" She said to me but I just stared at her wondering why they called me in that tone. Whoever I
Hector's POVThis has got to be the worst thing to happen to me. No, it really has got to be. How could I have fallen in love with a woman and then I didn't everything within my power to make sure she lives, then she wakes up and says she doesn't remember me? I was walking absent-mindedly to my room as I started to think long and hard about what I might've done wrong. Did I say the spell wrong? Of course, I must've! I'm not cut out for this life of sorcery. Wolves and sorcery don't connect! I'm a loophole that shouldn't exist! As I started to reach my room, I was already anticipating how much satisfaction I would get from thrashing everything in there. Suddenly, I stopped because someone was following me. When I turned around it was Becka. " What?" I asked feeling very irritated because I was clearly not in the mood for any of her talks. Honestly, I had no idea what kind of person Becka was because we've never talked other than moments I scolded her for her poor performance during
Hector's POVI went in search of Nova and found her about to go to Max's office. She saw me and stopped walking until I got to her. " What's going on? You look worried." She asked. I ran my hands through my hair and took in a deep breath because just thinking about what I was about to say was painful enough. " Kayla is awake," I said first of all and her face lit up. She hugged me and said, " I know you must be so happy that she's awake now. What about her friend?"" She's awake too but there's a problem," I said and she started to slowly release me from her grip." What? What's the problem? She asked as her silver eyes searched mine. " Kayla doesn't remember a lot of things. Like, she doesn't even know that she's a wolf. She is attracted to only Aidan for some reason and hates me instead. I'm literally dying inside because I can't just understand why she would -"" Calm done Hector," she said, placing her hands on my shoulder to calm me down. That usually always worked but today i
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
