. Kayah’s point of View“What?” I couldn’t help but ask.“My lady the King is upset,” Yesha started with a pleading expression.“Why should he be?” Genuine confusion appeared on my face. “I was the one that was just ordered not to do any cooking.”“But Queen-” Kelsey whined.“Kelsey, I didn’t do anything wrong. Why would he be upset?” Both Cassandra and Kelsey now truly understood how clueless I was. “Where do you think Brian would be? I would like to relieve some stress by baking.”I was trying to think of ways to either avoid meeting Sabrina’s parents or pass off perfectly as their daughter. It was nerve wracking. I found thinking easier when I was baking at the same time and it was something I wanted to do right away with hopes that it yielded positive results..“His highness just forbade you from doing any form of cooking, your Majesty.”“Can you not tell him?” I tried to be convincing.“I’m sorry Queen, but we can’t hide it from the King. It would make him enraged.”“Fine! I’l
Seven’s Point of viewI was in a ring, watching two warriors locked in hand-to-hand combat.In a fight, there is meant to be a winner and a loser but none of the men wanted to be the loser as the consequences would be frightening.All of a sudden, I felt uncomfortable and a searing pain overwhelmed me. In my head was a chant from my wolf. “I can’t feel mate! Mate is gone! Find our mate!’ The words were incomprehensible at first but once I was able to make out the words, I felt my aura became colder, forcing everyone present to submit. I was trying to think rationally and knew that flying into blind rage would not help.I can’t lose her.“YOUR QUEEN IS NO LONGER IN OUR GROUNDS. FIND HER!” I ordered and speedily rushed away, I didn’t give any explanation to my warriors as there was no time to waste.Lucas' eyes widened in panic, he was probably worried about what would happen next. “Who dares to take the Queen before I could spar with her!?” Lucas arranged the warriors into differe
Kayah’s Point of View“No one is coming to save you, I already injected you with something that would dull your mate bond. Without his mark, King Seven would not be able to sense your absence for a very long time.” My abductor still had a quirky smirk on his face, he was very sure of his well-laid-out plans. “I will give you a minute to think of a good response to my question before I shed all pretense.”He did not wait for my response and left the room. My eyes darted around, looking for something, a sort of weapon for protection. I knew that Seven would come for me once he discovered my disappearance but I had to stay alive before he showed up. I discovered that it wasn’t easy to be the healer, the shoe was too big for me and the tiara was many times as heavy.I didn’t care to think of how my abductor got to know that I wasn’t the deal as my eyes fell on a used syringe. A scenario appeared in my mind, leaving faster than it came but left a deep impression on me. For the first t
Kayah’s point of ViewThe look on Seven’s face was solemn, he took a few more glances at the figure in the center of his bed and that was me. The silence was stiffening and I couldn’t tell what was on his mind. Unlike others, whom I could easily read, Seven was different. I replayed the encounter with my abductor in my head, wondering if Seven had overheard their conversation. Just the thought of it made me swallow hard, followed by a hiss of pain“Are you okay?” Seven inquired before rising up from where he was sitting. He slowly approached the bed with a glass of water.“Yes.” I muttered as she tried to sit up. Her neck was bruised from when her attacker had clutched her.I noticed Seven sniffing the air. I saw a little bit of confusion but he found himself leaning closer to my neck where my scent gland was.I froze, I didn't even flinch. Even though I found it uncomfortable to be around people I wasn’t familiar with. Seven was my mate and him being around me was comforting. He
Kayah's Point of ViewEven though I tried, I could not prevent the blush that crept on my face. When he spoke, the look in his eyes was so deep and intense, it threatened to overwhelm me but it wasn’t scary as I could also feel warmth from them. In an attempt to divert his attention. “Tell me about your Kingdom?”“It’s ours,” Sevenl took my hands and began tracing it with his fingers. Everywhere he touched was tingling. “We have a large territory, equal to the royal pack. There are about five thousand people in the kingdom about seventy percent are able to protect themselves in case of danger. The other thirty percent are made up of mostly women and children, they train but not as much as the others but they would be led to the underground bunker in case of any unforeseen events.”“Don’t you have to deal with spies?”“There are certain ways to deal with them. About what happened today, I promise to get to the root of the matter and give you an explanation.”“It is alright, it wasn’t
Jade’s Point of ViewI was gently sipping wine while glancing through a photo album, a smile etched on my face as my mind wandered from one thought to another. The photo album consists of the images of just one person, someone who I had fallen for and was prepared to give my heart to no matter the cost.That person was her King.Mia suddenly entered my room and shook her head at the sight of my daydreaming expression. “Jade! Snap out of it!” She snapped her fingers a few times before my face, bringing me back to reality.“Mia, what was that for?” I asked as a frown. I didn’t appreciate her friend’s intrusion.“I won’t interrupt you if it wasn’t important.” Mia immediately sat down beside me with a worried expression on her face.“What is wrong?” I carefully set the album aside.“I heard some rumors,” Mia looked around a few times, after confirming that we were all alone in the house, she continued. “The King is planning a Queen introduction ceremony, it will happen soon.”Unexpecte
Kayah’s Point of ViewThe buzzing sound, the chirping of birds and the soft whoosh as wind blows on the trees were all in my head. I suddenly opened my eyes abruptly and sat up on the bed. I glanced at the windows and at the door which was unlocked. I noticed that the space beside me was empty. I let out a sigh. Ever since Seven brought me back, he had not shared a room with me. He would only wait till I fell asleep before he left.I slowly walked out of my room, moved as quietly as I could, an art I had perfected over years of staying in my previous pack. I was finally able to get out of the house without alerting anyone. The sun was not out yet, it was a few hours past midnight and the moon was bright in the sky. Its warm glow fell on my figure, giving me comfort like a mother hugging her child.I started walking through a path. I needed to think about the events of the past few hours. One thing was sure, I was weak. This would be my biggest flaw in my attempt to win Seven’s he
Seven’s Point of ViewIf Sabrina was looking for my opinion , she wasn’t getting it. Judging her negatively would hurt her. I knew that. She let out a deep breath.“I could easily deal with him. He wasn’t a threat,” A teasing spark lit in her eye’s as if she’s thinking something. “With my wolf.”I noticed the glint in her eyes. I followed her and was watching from the shadows. I was looking forward to the showdown between her and the vampire. I heard a lot about how good Sabrina was when it comes to fighting. That’s why I had asked her hand to be my mate but I was worried that she would get hurt instead. Vampires are one hell of a fighter too. I never had the chance to meet her nor spar with her because it was forbidden. “Your wolf?” I couldn’t get the picture of her weak and delicate form out of my head.“She is back but still isn’t talking to me yet, I’m afraid she’s still upset over what happened the last time,” she said. “The last time?”“Yes,” she said. “My wolf is kind of s
“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
I groaned. My arm reached out, fumbling across the floor until my fingers found the buzzing phone.The screen glowed in the dark.Maryan.I sat up straight. My heart was already racing.No one called at this hour unless it was bad.I answered. “Hello?”Her voice cracked. “Kayah… he’s gone.”“What?” My voice came out sharp, shaking. “Who?”“Kellan. They—they took him. I’m sorry. I couldn’t stop them. Red tried, he’s..he’s bleeding, bad.”My chest went tight. My hands started shaking.“Where are you?”“At my house. Hurry.”I didn’t waste a second.“Six! Get up!” I shouted, already pulling on pants and boots.He groaned. “Wh—what?”“They took our son.”That woke him up.He didn’t ask anything else. He was up, dressed, and running after me into the night.We drove to Maryan’s house. We needed to stay calm. Think. But I could feel the wolf under my skin. Angry. Pacing. Ready to rip the world apart.The night air was cold. Stars blinked above. The moon hid behind clouds.My feet hit the
With a moan I moved my long hair to the side, exposing my neck to my mate and pressed my bottom firmly against him. He didn’t keep me waiting. There was a loud roar of approval before his teeth sank deep into the spot where shoulder meets neck, and his cock penetrated my tight entrance.I cried out from the sharp pain and my arms gave out in front of me. Six didn’t loosen his bit on my neck as he followed me down to the bed. My legs would have given out too if it hadn’t been for his claws latching onto my hips and keeping me in place. I let out another scream of pain as he dug his teeth deeper into my skin, making sure that the Mark was deep enough to scar.I could feel the blood dripping down my neck and it was just as warm as my tears on my cheeks. The pain in that moment was great, so great that it drowned out any pleasure I had been feeling until I was shaking from pain. It felt like an eternity had passed until Six finally peeled his sharp fangs out of my skin.His rough warm ton
