Kayla's POVSince Sapphire said that school will be in session again, I've been feeling very anxious. Although, I saw Theresa and my heart became free as she gave me advice and tried to help me see that everything will be okay as long as I handle things wisely.But, I'm not exactly the wise type. I mean, I know how to stay out of trouble but...do I really even know how to do that? No matter what I try I always get in trouble and it's so sad that this ALWAYS happens to me. Every pack is in danger of an Alpha that o do not even know that much but all of it remains my fault.Now, I am trying my very best not to think about the most troubling and upsetting part of everything. Three packs are joining Mystik pack and the way I see it, we will have to fight the Rogues first and bring them under Hector's submission again before we can even start thinking about protecting ourselves against Alpha Drey. These two things cannot go together. That's what Nova has been working on. She wants to buy
Kayla's POVAfter getting ready for today. I called Sapphire asking her where she is and she said that she is at Max's quarters. I didn't want to go there because of Hector so I asked if we could meet somewhere else and just hang out. We went to Coby's diner where we sat and ate some food, talking about a lot of things...maybe not a lot because her discussion was centered on Max. She said she went home to think about what I told her and she realized that she might have developed a " soft spot" for Max but " that was it", yeah right! I knew she just couldn't believe or accept the truth. I was sitting at the diner watching as a lot of people walked by. Some were from Bloom pack, others from Valley pack but I had not yet seen red Wolves. Most of them were going around Mystik pack like they were tourists. Perhaps like me, they had never seen a pack look so developed and organized yet so little in number. As I sat and listened to Sapphire lamenting about what would become of her and Max
Kayla's POVEveryone had already gotten settled when I saw Aidan coming our way with those two girls. I felt Sapphire's hand on my thigh and when I looked at her she seemed to be reassuring me and trying to even get me to calm down but my wolf Sapphire was doing something different within me. She wanted me to do something drastic because it was beyond clear that Aidan was bringing them over to our side." Hey what's up" I heard him greeting as he reached where we were and sat behind us. He didn't dare say hi to me or those sitting with me because he knew damn well that I would not even respond to him.I didn't look their way while they were coming over here because I didn't want to see April's face. Aidan seemed to have sat in between the two girls and then something occurred to me. It seems the whole of Redwolf is against Tia's plot because not a single soul was missing. I mean, I don't know all the people from Redwolf pack but it seemed like a lot of them were here in fact." Do you
Kayla's POVImmediately after Hector's speech, everyone was leaving the arena one by one. Some left quickly, others left reluctantly because the mood in the courtroom was destroyed by Max's speech. Hector could barely even say anything, not that I listened anyway. I was just worried about Sapphire who broke down when Max left. I've been consoling her but she refused to be consoled. If anyone told me that Sapphire would ever love Max I wouldn't believe it. I always thought she hated him, but hearing the things Max said, I knew two things, the people were wrong and so was Max. Honestly, how could he expect to be loved after killing a kid like yourself? Although I almost did the same thing to April, I could've killed her that day but I got lucky. Maybe I shouldn't judge Max, I have no idea how it felt to be blamed for something that he had no idea in. The boy in question is dead and so is his mother. The moment Max apologized to the mother who was dead, I felt so down. I wondered if Ma

Kayla's POVSapphire's POVThe second I realized what I would lose if Max leaves me, I decided to heed Kayla's advice and went to find Max. If not that I had a fantastic sense of smell I would've lost him! " Max!" I yelled when I saw him heading off on his own into the outskirts of the pack. He heard me but he kept going. " Max, please wait!" I yelled again but this time it sounded like a cry. I could feel him get hurt by my voice and I knew he wanted to stop but he still kept on walking and I wasn't even that far away from him!" Max, I love you" I blurted out without any regrets and that's when he stopped walking. He turned around to face me but he still had his eyes on the ground rather than on me. Still, I could tell that he was in disbelief. He even looked... angry." What did you say?" He asked, his voice low and gruff as she spoke. I swallowed nervously and moved closer to him, " I said I love you." " You love me. How could you do that?" He asked, looking at me this time. Hi
Kayla's POV" Kayla! Kayla!" I heard Sapphire say but I was laying in my bed back in Theresa's house, pretending to be asleep." Kayla get up!" She yelled and I groaned feigning exhaustion as I sat up on my bed." What?"" Did I ruin your sleep? I'm so sorry" she said but as I looked at her, I couldn't get out the image of Max banging her. She's my friend but I didn't need to see that! I bet she's here to tell me about how special it felt." What, Sapphire?"" Oh come on! Don't be like that. You asked me to go talk to Max and I did."" Yeah I said talk to him not sleep with him," I said in my head while I faked a smile and nodded my head as though I couldn't wait to hear what she had to say." Well, things got a little out of hand -"" Oh my gosh, you fought with him? " I asked trying to sound even more ignorant." No...I mean yes but it lead to something else. We had sex, Kayla!" She said excitedly and I gasped. Honestly, if I wasn't me, I would've thought that I was genuinely shocke
Kayla's POV " Kayla stop! Kayla!" I heard Theresa yell then it seemed like a scale fell from my eyes and I saw that I was standing in front of the door and Sapphire was standing in front of me but I was strangling her! " I'm sorry!" I gasped and let go of Sapphire while she gasped for air and fell into Aubrey's arms. " What the hell is wrong with you?" Azalea barked at me and for a moment I got so angry that I imagined ripping her head off but the thought was so detailed and graphic that I got scared and shook my head, as though that would take the thought away. " I'm sorry Lea," I said, " did you see her eyes just now? She's losing herself" Azalea said pointing at me but I shook my head." Kayla, what's happening to you? You know you can talk to me right?" Theresa still managed to say to me with a kind smile." How the hell can you be nice to her after she almost killed your daughter?! " Azalea lashed out. This must've been a big deal because she barely ever explodes like that. 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
