Kayla's POV “You mean…” I shook my head, refusing to believe it. “To stop his magic from hurting the people I love, Someone else has to die?” Mia nodded slowly and I felt my heart drop in despair. Adrian’s jaw clenched and I felt the tension radiating off him. “That’s not happening.” He snapped and I agreed. "Hold on Luna." Logan’s voice suddenly cut in with a harsh tone. “This could all be a lie. This woman could be trying to trick one of us into doing something stupid like killing ourselves for no good reason.” Ingrid aslso stepped up beside him with her eyes narrowed. “I agree with him Luna. Mia herself said she's been working for Rogan for years. For all we know, she’s still on his side and feeding us exactly what he wants us to hear.” Mia’s eyes instantly flashed with barely contained fury. “Dont be foolish! This is not a trick!” Her voice rose, raw with emotion. “How can I still be working with him when he tried to kill me huh?! I lost all loyalty to that beast the
Kayla's POV"Rogan had decided that if he couldn't steal Kayla's powers or kill her off." Mia revealed, "Then he would turn Kayla so angry, so bitter and so full of hate, that she unconsciously destroys everything and everyone she loves. Until the only person she has left is him. Then he will have her. And from the look of things," Mia gestured at her bandages. "I think his plan is already working." I froze. “That means,” I added with my eyes locking on her's, “he could twist me enough to hurt my own child.” Mia looked away for a moment then murmured a quiet "Yes." That shook my world. The room seemed to tilt until My breath began to catch painfully in my throat. My heart was hammering, but my blood felt like it had stopped moving entirely. “No…” The word barely escaped my lips. “No, that—” “Luna Kayla?” Ingrid’s voice cut in with concern. She stepped toward me, but I instinctively backed away until Adrian held me. My legs felt like they didn’t belong to me anymore. “W
Kayla’s POV,Someone had to pay for my baby's death. Someone had to die.I don’t remember the exact moment it happened.One second, I was standing there, trembling with fury as Mia’s words sliced through me.And then something inside me just… snapped and my vision turned red.It was like my body wasn’t my own anymore. I felt heat, raw and alive, surge up from my chest, into my arms, into my fingertips. The air around me rippled like it was alive. Mia flinched and her chained hands rose to shield herself but it was too late.I couldn’t stop it. I didn’t even think about stopping it. My rage had a mind of its own.I could hear Mia screaming in the background, but I couldn't bring myself to care It wasn’t until I felt Adrian’s hands gripping my shoulders and shaking me hard until his voice broke through the roaring in my ears—“Kayla! Stop! Look at me!”—that's when I blinked and my mind snapped back into reality.And when I looked down, my stomach dropped.Mia was half on the floor, h
Kayla’s POVAdrian was already awake when I stirred awake. He was sitting on the edge of the bed with his shirt halfway buttoned. The early morning sunlight cut across his broad shoulders, and for a second, I just… stared. He noticed, of course, because the corners of his mouth twitched upward. “You’re awake,” he said softly, voice still gravelly from sleep. “Good. We need to get moving soon.” I rubbed my eyes and yawned. “Mhm… just give me a few minutes.” Apparently “a few minutes” meant nothing to him, because the next thing I knew, he was pulling me up by the hand and sitting me in front of the vanity. “I can do it myself,” I mumbled when he picked up my hairbrush. “I know you can,” he said, gathering my hair with a gentleness that didn’t match his intimidating size. “But I want to, I need to practice how I'll brush our baby's hair if it's a girl, but if it's a boy, you'll have to spend hours practicing on me.” I rolled my eyes with a smile. “You’re ridiculous.” “And you’r
Kayla's POV By the time we left the battlefield and headed back toward the palace, my mind felt like it had been put through a blender. Between the fight with Rogan and his twisted rogues, Mia getting plunged into my weapon, and finding out my grandfather—who wasn’t actually my grandfather but my sick, twisted uncle who stabbed my mate... you can agree that it had been one hell of a fucking day!Our convoy of black SUVs rolled down the winding road as we made our way back home.I sat beside Adrian, who kept glancing at me like I might shatter if he looked away too long. My father, King Konstantine sat in the vehicle ahead of us with two of my brothers, probably trying to figure out how to destroy any more family bombshells without giving me a heart attack. Behind us, Connor and Ingrid were in a separate SUV, carefully transporting Mia’s unconscious body to the hospital. The last glimpse I’d had of her was her pale, still face against the leather seats. Whatever else she’d done, I
Kayla's PovThe dagger in my hand trembled with the metal cold against my palm, but my fury burned hotter than ever. My breathing was ragged as I faced them—Mia and Rogan who was crouching behind her.All I could think now was that I had to kill my uncle. My mother's traitor, our family's enemy.But the foolish girl Mia had stepped in front of him without hesitation with her arms spread out protectively like a sacrificial shield.I blinked in disbelief. “Fucking Move Mia.” I gritted out with barely constrained anger.She didn’t flinch but Her eyes were red-rimmed with tears clinging stubbornly to her lashes. “I can’t... Please don't do this Kayla.”I was tempted to just stab her too but my fury was currently directed at the monster that had hurt my mate. She was just a measly distraction I didn't want to deal with now, her punishment would come later.“Im warning you Ma. Get the fuck out of the way,” I growled, my voice low, dangerous. “He needs to pay for what he's done.”“I know,”
