Kayah's Point of ViewA sigh escaped my mouth. Here we go again. Another torment of my life in the second level of hell for me. This place should be one of the safest for me but no. Just like home, this is also hell for me."Hey, did you hear the news?" I heard the murmurs of students while I was on my way to my class. "The palace announced our mating ball," one member of my pack replied, obviously excited."Yeah, I heard that too. And this time, the Alpha Rogue decided to join. And you know, this will be the first time for them to join the coming-of-age ceremony after a long feud between us. Oh my gosh, I’m so excited. I heard most of the rogue males are freaking hot!” I heard a series of squealing after that. “I wish one of them would be my mate. They are freaking hot!”I didn't hear the rest of the conversation as I walked away from them, avoiding any female members of my pack. Rogue wolves are said to be ancient. They were stronger and bigger than the Pack wolves. Years ago, ro
Kayah’s Point of ViewI was a wolfless. I do admit it. A year after I turned eighteen, I didn’t shift, instead, a painful tattoo showed on my left wrist and a voice that probably belonged to my wolf. It was like a glow-in-the-dark tattoo because it was invisible during the day and glowed green at night.Yeah, I know. Instead of a wolf, I freaking have a tattoo which I don’t even know what it means. I tried searching about the tattoo but I never found any explanation about it. And also my wolf’s voice shut her mouth about it. Today, my tattoo was partially painful. It felt like hundreds of needles piercing my skin one by one making it irritating. “Where’s my food, bitch?” I heard my mom’s shrieking voice echoing the whole house. Honestly, I couldn’t leave her if I wanted to but I didn’t at least not yet since I’m broke as hell. She’s my only family and it was not her fault that she became like that. Alcohol dependent. It was my father who ruined her. “Coming Mom!” I yelled at her to
The mating ball came to my mind again when I saw the gown. It was too beautiful for my eyes. I never saw such a gown in Eliza’s closet. I shook the thoughts away and tried to distract myself by scrubbing the Luna's house.I wanted to attend the ball, I wanted to know what it was like. Eliza had always said a lot of things about it whenever she returned and it fascinated me the most. I wanted a different life for myself and it wasn’t going to come if I stayed here being a punching bag and a salaryless maid.What if I had a mate? What if the Luna was wrong all along? What if I had someone waiting for me? Someone who is going to accept me just the way I am, with all of my flaws. What if that person won’t care about how broken or worthless I am and he would accept me all the same? A lot of what-ifs came to my mind, there was a chance that I had a mate out there who was just waiting for me. I heard that some wolves would rather grow old alone than choose someone else to mate with. What if
That night when I was about to fall asleep, a searing pain shot from the tattoo on my wrist, I bit into my arm to prevent myself from crying out. Mom would be furious if she heard me. The pain spread from my wrist to the rest of my body. Exaggerating pain shot my whole body when I heard something crack, the pain intensified to almost make me pass out.The cracking sound continued inside me as my body distorted into various weird angles, it was a hundred times more painful than I already experienced.Dots appeared in my vision as I closed my eyes but the pain kept me awake. I wanted it to stop but it only intensified and I dared not scream out or my mom would hit me till I was half dead. After a while of intense agony, it stopped. The fast the pain appeared was also the fast before it disappeared. My wolf was smiling at me in my head before darkness completely swallowed me.When I woke up the next morning, I recalled what had happened to me the previous night so I checked myself in a m
Kayah’s Point of View“What? Did the cat get your tongue, my lady?” Seven said as he was staring at me. “Uhm, I think you got the wrong, girl, Sir,” I said. Trying to step back from him. I knew this man.“Did I? If I did, you wouldn’t be wearing that dress which I custom-made only for you,” he said. Oh…This gown isn’t mine! I just found it in the middle of the forest…I wanted to tell him but just by looking at the Rogue King, my knees felt like Jelly and I was scared of him. What should I do? I need to get out of here!“Don’t you feel me?” He growls lowly, enough for me to hear. “Because I’m damn sure you are my mate.”Sweat started to form on my forehead. “I…uhm c-can I go to the bathroom?”He furrowed. “Let me escort you-”“No. No I can go alone,” I said and didn’t wait for his next words as I turned around and ran away from him. I intend to leave the mating ball. I rather go back to my abusive pack rather than to be mated with a Rogue King. After making sure he didn’t follow
him. “And who’s idea was it?” I asked him, still irritated.He chuckled. “I was trying to help to find your little mate, Seven,” he said. “Maybe this little mate of yours is probably in that school,” he added. “She’s a healer for fuck sake-”“But you're one big bad bad king, Seven. She’s probably afraid of you that’s why she ran away and left the dress you custom made,” he added.“Ugh…”“Now go and report. Maybe if you’re lucky enough, you’ll find your run away little mate there.”Against my will, I arrived.As I entered the piece of junk school, I saw jocks and cheer leaders ganging on a girl. She was badly beaten. Her back was at me and I couldn’t see who she was. Bullying was common in Pack wolves. I don’t blame them, their leaders could’t care. In my kingdom, bullying is punishable by death. Rogues do not tolerate power gaps nor abuse the leader’s power. "Red had persuaded me to go to this piece of junk university, and this is the scene that greeted me?" Pissed.The woman in
Gray’s Point of ViewSabrina…Who the hell was Sabrina?“I’m not Sabrina. That’s not my name,” I told him, trying to tell him the truth. “Will you quit it?” Seven asked me as he manoeuvred our way to his car off which I know will leave off to somewhere I don’t know. “Try to tell lies and you’ll see what will happen,” he added, warning me. I gulped. Why was this man so adamant about me as Sabrina and not someone who he mistakenly took as his mate? I get it, I wore the gown that was supposed to be his mate’s but I doubt it if he actually has seen her. Nevertheless, the whole me felt something about him. Something about him that draws me to him. My body trembles as I look at Seven. He’s too tall, too broad, too dangerous. His dangerous aura clouded my senses, making it hard for me to think straight. He’s nothing like the boys in my college or even in my pack. He asserted too much confidence and power, and I knew he demanded respect with his presence. His dark dominance was doing some
Kayah’s point of view“I’m better than Ron when it comes to thinking ahead. I might not be a fighter but I’m smarter.” Blaze ran a hand through his hair and winked. From his words, I understood that he was Sabrina’s main servant while Ron was probably a warrior. While I was deep in my thoughts, he took that chance to place the tiara on my hair. “Gorgeous! Perfect!”As I snapped back to reality, I noticed the gaze of some people on me, they whispered amongst themselves but it didn’t seem like they were saying anything bad. Some were bold enough to try and approach me but the glare from the two men with me was enough to stop them. “Can we go in?” I wasn’t comfortable with the attention I was receiving.“Sure!” As we walked to the main entrance, people bowed their heads and made way for us. I smiled as I walked past them, not wanting to act rude since I wasn’t supposed to bow to them.I allowed the guards to lead me to a room where a woman was waiting, she immediately got to her feet
Axel peeked at my neck where Seven’s maek sitting out. “Hmmm,” he hummed. “That mark looked good on you, Kayah,” he said and looked at me. I couldn’t see any emotions in his eyes, it was like I was staring straight into an endless void, emotionless. And then it happened. Axel back slapped me out of nowhere. I felt like my brain was shaken and an extreme pain came later. My eyes watered as I looked at him. “Does it hurt?” he smiled in a sickening voice. “Of course it was,” he added and grabbed my hair, pulling my hair closer to him. “That damn pain wasn’t even closer to what I had felt from your betrayal and letting him mark you.”My life flashed before me over the next few days. Axel wasn’t just angr, he was so furious, unable to accept my betrayal. He told me I deserved to rot under his castle until the last day of my life. After he slapped me hard, that could kill a human immediately, his fake queen, a wolf who was scared of him as well, took me to the underground.“This will b
“Hmm,” I heard a voice. “She’s in a state that my client wouldn’t like it, Luis,” I heard a voice. It was a male. I couldn’t see him because I was blindfolded. I sniffed him but he didn’t smell like a wolf. The scent was-“Stop sniffing, girl,” I heard the voice said, annoyed. “We were all wearing some perfume to mask our scent so stop doing it. It’s annoying.”And then I heard a laugh. “Oh, don’t mind her, Jim. Let’s just get down to business,” I heard Luis. “Alright. Three million dollars for her as we agreed upon.”“Yep,” Luis said.”“My client has deposited the exact amount now and I’m taking the merchandise to him. Kindly fill up this agreement to avoid unseen problem in the future,” “Alright.”I heard some scratching of pens. “There you go,” Luis said and probably looked at Brian who was holding me. “Take her to our client’s car.”Brian started to guide me. I tried to fight but he was too strong for me given he was an Alpha bloodline. “Don’t make this hard enough, Kayah. Ju
“Oh, you’ve been a bad bad girl, Kayah,” Luis smirked and then he signaled the three men to show me what would happen if I disobeyed him again. My bruised body now slumped, shackled to a chair. After they caught me trying to escape, the trio of men beat me senseless and tossed me into this room to waste away. I could still feel the sting of Brian’s fist smashing into my cheek and the blow of Luis’ boot driving into my gut. Clumps of brown hair had been ripped from my aching scalp, Bob was responsible for that. These men, these tormentors, did far worse than just hurt me. They claimed it was to teach me obedience. To crush my spirit. And they nearly did.“What happened to fresh, not scratched and in a good condition, Boss?” Nate asked when he entered the room again. “She’s a wolf. She can heal,” Luis rolled his eyes. “You really hate this woman a lot?” Nate asked. “Not her but her damn mate,” Luis replied. “Is it also tied to her?” “Whatever their problems were, I’m out of it. I’
The man with tousled brown hair and piercing forest-green eyes spoke from across the room. Though he didn’t raise his voice, his imposing presence made it feel like he was right beside me, shouting.“What did I say about talking back?” he growled, beginning to close the distance between us. Before he could get far, the second man extended an arm, halting him with a sharp, warning glance. He muttered something too quiet to catch, then slowly started toward me instead. His long black hair framed a pale, severe face, and his deep blue eyes locked onto mine with unsettling calm.“I suggest you listen to him, Kayah.” I winced hearing my name leave his lips. “You should understand something, we’ve planned this carefully. Your little help is gone, and no one will help you, let alone save you from your impending doom. No one’s coming for you. Which makes this very convenient for us. She told us that no one will care enough to look at you.”Now kneeling in front of me, he leaned in, grabbed m
As soon as the scream escaped my lips I knew that all hope was lost. “I heard her! This way!” With no other choice I stood up and ran out of the horrible room and I didn’t stop to look where I was going. I only looked up long enough to see the front door I had come through a foot away when strong and rough arms snatched my waist. I screamed once again as the arms took me away from my escape and hauled me to the room at the end of the hall. I fought and kicked with all my strength, grabbing and clawing whatever I could get my hands on. With each futile attempt the arms only grew tighter around me. A door was opened and I was shoved into the room I once heard the voices arguing from.With a gasp I took in the gruesome and horrifying scene in front of me.I landed head first after being thrown into the room. I gawked at the scene of terrors that lay in front of me. In front of me was a still and lifeless body. The last of the body's blood puddled around the girl as it leaked from the m
I woke up and felt everything was odd. The room was unusually quiet, so eerie.“Rache?” I called her name but no one was answering. Where the hell is she? I asked myself. I got up, made myself a coffee when I stopped my mug mid-air. Amidst the scent of coffee hitting my nose, I smell something but a scent. It was so strong that it actually overpowered the coffee’s scent. It was them. Damn it. “Rachel!” I screamed but no one answered. I didn't wait for her to answer. I grabbed my phone and ran through the door, looking for a fire exit. Even if the scent was still a mile away, I knew they would eventually catch up with me. So I better run and call Rachel when I think I’m safe. My lungs ached with the force I was putting on them. I never really ran. I wasn't out of shape, but I definitely wasn't athletic. Okay, I’m used to running, but not as urgent as this. I ran when I needed to chase a prey but not the other way around. The closer I drew to my destination the more I couldn't hel
Defeated, I started the journey back to our apartment. I knew she would show up eventually, just like every other time she left.Letting my mind wander, I turned the corners while walking back to our rented house. I passed street sign after street sign, worn down building after worn down building. The town was old and dusty to say the least. As I walked, I planned out what I would do for the rest of the day. The only thing that kept me going now was that I had to find my son and take him back with me. Time seemed to fly while I thought about the reason why I was away from my pack and to Seven, and after about twenty minutes of breathing in smoke and dirt-filled air, I arrived at the door to the apartment building.The apartment buildings we lived in strongly represented a motel and were the cheapest housing options around. I didn't particularly like it, but it was all we needed so no one would suspect me.Sighing, I walked up the concrete steps and opened the wooden door, only to rev
My pack has decided to end everything and take back what they used to own, their dignity, they castle. Seven his real reclaimed the name and that the Moon Goddess has crossed the line. “I know it’ll be dangerous, but this is for our son. I want him and neither would I give you to her,” I said when I’m done telling him Hailey was actually Lunar and that she tricked him. Seven was speechless when he heard it but it didn’t change the fact that she has our child. Seven took the alpha position and talked to the pack mate, the rogues who had been in the human settlement howl, ready to reclaim the throne and their home. “Are you sure about this Red?” I asked her to utter a spell, a spell that would prevent Lunar from tricking Seven again. Now that Red has become apparent, he told us he was actually ex-deity and used to side with Lunar back then. He admitted Lunar was delusional and told us about her tale, about her falling in love with Fenrir only to break her heart in the process. He
“Babe listen we-”“Kellan!’ I screamed.I searched the area. Nothing. No more scent trail. No sounds. Just that burning circle and silence.“Kellan!” I shouted again into the night. My voice echoed, bouncing back empty.I fell to my knees.My baby was gone. And not even the wind could tell me where.I pressed my hand to the grass where he’d been taken. It was still warm.My fingers tingle..Then, I heard something.A whisper. Soft. Like a breeze.“Kayah…”I looked up. The trees shifted slightly.Then it stopped.Six didn’t hear it. Only me.“Bitch,” I said and she just laughed. “You couldn’t have that’s you took me son?”No answer.I heard a chuckle like the bitch was amused. “You so Hailey,” Lunar said. “I don’t care about whatever image you took,” I said. “Seven and I had a history.”I swallowed hard. “Maybe it’s time for you to tell him about her.”“Shut up!” I screamed. “Ayah,” Six whispered. “Let's go back.”We returned to Maryan’s.Red was still breathing. Barely. His chest
