CH41 - Kyla's POV
When Dereck mentions the potential to kill Cedric, I feel a sharp pain in my heart. For whatever reason, I don’t think I can ever bring myself to kill that fool of an alpha. I know I may not get the choice if it comes down to a fight, but that doesn’t mean I would kill him in cold blood.I just don’t understand why I feel this way. That man has been nothing but a pain in my side since we met. First, he kidnapped me and my pack, then he de-ranked me and now he sexually hounds me whenever he is in the mood.With a glance at my feet, I realise he also does so when I get in the mood. Is that because of how I smell to him? What if Dereck can smell me too?Peering up at him, Dereck doesn’t seem phased by me at all. Though is that because my body isn’t feeling rowdy right now? I can’t tell if that’s the case or if it is something else entirely. For now, I push those thoughts aside. As long as no other men are around me when I smell ‘good’, then I’ll be safe. Or as safe as this place can be f

I can’t believe they have dragged me into an early morning shift to help decorate the inner packhouse. Under any normal circumstances, it would have thrilled me to get inside. It would be a chance to sneak off and visit Kyla. However, I can’t sneak off with how busy they’ve had me working.We’re almost done now, but some hiccups have caused us to have some delays and now we might not get done before the guests arrive. That’s when I notice an omega run in looking for someone - anyone who might pay her attention.I don’t have time to pay her too much attention and it isn’t my place to help the pack anymore, as I am a mere prison guard rather than the beta. However, after a while, she is gone again and in her place, Kyla comes meandering in through the door.I don’t know what I’ve done to be so lucky, but I can’t help but get excited to see Kyla. Although I need to keep it on the down low, I know what I ne

I almost can’t believe what I just saw. Although the two don’t share a kiss when they depart, the looks that man gives my Kyla and the way they’re holding hands makes me insanely jealous. I didn’t think the two were in any romantic situation with what I’ve learned from the two until now, but is this why Kyla has been resisting me?I want to chase them both down, but for whatever reason, my legs don’t want to move. Besides, if I act too rashly, I might scare Kyla enough that she’ll reject me without a second thought. I close my eyes and tighten my hands into fists. I need to calm myself down.What if I’m wrong? Kyla mentioned nothing about having a lover. The two could just be close friends like me and my beta was. There’s no reason to believe they’ve done anything with each other. After all, before Kyla met me, she had never been with a man. I’m sure of it.With that in mind, I slowly pace back an

I do not know what got into Cedric the last few days, but he has not left me alone. Even when one of his scouts summoned him outside of the packhouse, he sent someone else just so he didn’t leave me alone. He said it wasn’t an urgent matter, and one of his gammas could handle the issue just as effectively as he could have.Did Joey really trouble him that much? It’s not like anything happened, and Joey hasn’t tried to do anything to me since then either. In fact, Joey hasn’t even snooped around for the ‘scent’ so I’m not sure what Cedric is so paranoid for.Even when he has had no other option but to leave the main packhouse and gardens, he has forced me to either stay in the packhouse or have guards following my every movement.I thought I was gaining more freedom, but now I have less again. At least these guards all have mates and are safer to be around than those like Joey. The downside is this has meant me and

It’s been a week now and I don’t know what I’m going to do about having Dereck so close to Kyla. Those two always somehow sneak off together, though they haven’t done anything more than hold hands. At least so far. I’ve managed to interrupt them more times than I can count.I’ve thought of kicking Dereck out of the inner pack, but I have a feeling he will sneak in regardless of what I do to keep him away from my mate. Even if I did somehow do that, Kyla would get irritable with me, and the little progress I’ve made with her will be for nought.I was going to use their friendship for my own ends, but realising these two are closer than I thought, has made me second guess myself. Why does my mate have to be such an idiot? Can’t she tell already that we’re destined to be together? Is this my fault for not outright telling her the truth?I wanted to just tease her a little, let her figure out the truth, and then

Cedric was already gone by the time I had woken up, but that had only given me a small window to breathe. As soon as I came down the stairs, one of his omegas was already waiting for me. I don’t know who this one is, but she seems to be annoyed with her task of babysitting me. None of the omegas seems to like being around me all that much, although I can't think of why. Or maybe I can. I have been unreasonable towards them since day one. Perhaps even a little rude and unbearing, but that’s only because I never wanted to be dragged into this place and held hostage. Surely they can understand that? I offer her a small nod of greeting and glance around before asking, “where’s Cedric?” “The alpha,” the omega corrects me as she huffs. “And he’s dealing with a matter right now… he’ll be back,” she tells me, shaking her head. “Just go eat, or whatever…” she then mumbles, watching my every move. I give her the side-eye before slowly making my way to the kitch

Oh. Fuck.I can’t believe I just did that! Of all the things to do, I accidentally said Cedric’s name instead of Dereck’s. He has stopped kissing me and is now staring at me in disbelief. I have to think of something quick!“W-what? W-why did you stop?” I ask, trying my best to pretend I didn’t just mix up the names at all. I mean Cedric and Dereck sound alike, right? He won’t misunderstand, right?“You just called me-”“Dereck!” I call out his name, perhaps a little too loudly. He blinks at me with a perplexed expression. “I think I hear someone coming!” I lied. There’s no way he is going to believe me, not when he looks at me like this.I push Dereck off of me and quickly make my way to the door. My face is so hot that I know my fluster will be easy for anyone to notice. I need to get away from Dereck before he starts asking me questions. There is no way on the dark side of the moon that I can talk about the things Cedric does to me! Especially not to my lover!“Kyla!”I hear Dereck

I’m too dumbfounded to even chase after Kyla. She just called me Cedric and then tried to pretend she didn’t and fled. Why did she call me the alpha’s name instead of my own? Is this why Kyla has been acting so strange ever since coming here? Has Cedric said or done something to her?The more I think about everything that I’ve noticed lately, the odd question about scents, the more I need to sort this out. I take a deep breath in and calm my frustrations as much as I can. If I accuse Cedric of forcing himself on Kyla and it turns out I am wrong, then he will not only know we have been sneaking around behind his back but who knows what else he will do?There has to be an explanation for this, and I need to get to the bottom of it. I can’t act jealous or rash right now. If this is all a misunderstanding, then Kyla needs me to stay safe and not risk the ire of the alpha. However, I can't just ignore this either. The fact that Kyla ran off means there is far more to this than her being fo

At first, I was surprised that Dereck had figured out the truth so quickly, but in a way, I’m glad. There are a few ways I can use his love for Kyla to my advantage, but this might mean I’ll have to accept a few things myself. For now, I don’t have time to worry about it.A new cake is brought to the packhouse. Though it isn’t the one I had wanted, the argument had gone on long enough and had been bad enough that the two idiots had caused a mess of the original. Next year I’ll get someone else to work on it.Thankfully, nothing else major has caused any setbacks to the preparations and our guests arrive with only a few minutes delay. Kyla has been strangely quiet and hasn’t come downstairs at all yet. I haven’t had time to check on her, as alpha Caleb has kept me busy with his chit-chat.He was my father’s friend when they were children, but moved his pack away from the fighting. Although they only visit once a yea
Read moreCH50 - Kyla's POV
The sound of people laughing and having a good time fills my ears. I must have worked myself up into an emotional wreck, as I don’t know when the party downstairs must have started. I had never noticed people arriving until now.How long had they been partying without me realising it? I still have figured nothing out, but no one has come to look for me either. I wonder if that is a sign that Dereck has said nothing to anyone about what happened. Or hasn’t spoken to Cedric at least?I bite my lower lip and force myself to my feet. I don’t want to go down there looking like a mess, but I’m getting hungry and I need to deal with this issue at some point. A party would be a suitable cover to sneak off, and it’s not like I can hide from Dereck forever.I take notice of my puffy face and red eyes. Sighing, I wash my face and do what I can to freshen up a bit. There’s not a lot I can do, but I doubt anyone will pay me any attention.
