Two weeks later. Kaitlyn could not believe what was happening. She could swear some magic was involved here. Since she came back, Kylan has acted like a stranger. The girl could not recognize the man she had known for eighteen years. It looked like someone had killed him and used his body for their own purposes. Kaitlyn could not find any other logical explanation for this miracle since people could not change this way. The girl was ready to doubt her senses. Kaitlyn met her ex-mate for the first time two days after her return. She was making herself a beverage when Kylan entered the kitchen. Only two were there, and the girl shivered, remembering how such meetings usually ended. Kaitlyn tried to remain calm, but Kylan just gave her a nod, grabbing a water bottle, before leaving. She stood there in utter shock, staring at the spot where Kylan stood just a while ago. Her heart was still beating like crazy. In the past, he would never miss a chance to upset her in any possible way, k
Two months later. The last few months were like a dream for Kaitlyn. Her life took a 180-degree turn. She felt like a genuine part of the family for the first time since she finally had a brother. Kylan showed a side Kaitlyn would never expect him to have. They were close like never before. When he was not occupied with bullying her, she could see his true personality, which was terrific. This young man was dedicated to the pack, deeply engaged in everything happening on their lands. When they were not with her, Kylan spent his time in Alpha's office, discussing the new ideas with their father. That was another thing that made Kaitlyn happy. Shioban and Felix got their son back. He finally became what they expected him to be. The girl could see them watching him with pride in their eyes. Kaitlyn regretted all those wasted years when they could have been siblings as they were now. Even Elena was slowly changing her opinion about Kylan. There were still some thorns about who he was
Kylan ran through the pack house like someone chased by the demons. He held a letter in his game, squeezing it tightly occasionally. He stopped running before his father's office, knocking loudly at the door. - Come in. - Felix shouted after a few seconds. He was agitated since his son mind-linked him a few minutes ago about some urgent matter. Alpha looked at his mate, who was also present. Both of them were nervous, yet she could manage it better. Kylan came in almost immediately after the invitation. - Son, what is going on? You are acting weird. - Shioban looked at the young man, waiting for an explanation. Kylan remained silent, pulling his hand out. His parents gave him a questioning look before Alpha grabbed the paper and read it.After a few lines, he sat back on his chair, and his face became pale.Shioban came closer since her mate looked worried about whatever was written on the paper. His hands were shaking; what was unusual. Before she could peek at the letter, Feli
Kaitlyn woke up in the dark room, shaking from the cold. She looked around, letting her sight adjust to the poor light coming through the small window. Cold sweat rolled down her back when she noticed it was equipped with bars. A few more seconds confirmed she was indeed in the cell. The walls were made of stone, and there was nothing more than her bed and a small iron table with a bawl on top, probably used to wash—a glimpse of luxury in this unfriendly place. The girl sat on the bed, stretching her stiff muscles. Her bed was made from a few wooden planks, clearly created by someone lacking skills. There was no sign of a pillow or blanket Kaitlyn could use to keep her warm. It was a cell at its finest. She tried to focus on her last memories, which were like puzzles thrown off the table.The girl remembered the wolves in the woods chasing her. Then someone called her name before everything went dark. Now, she had to be at the house of whoever saved or captured her. Judging from t
Kaitlyn could not believe her bad luck. From all people, she had to be found by his father's brother. The fate was cruel and showed no mercy. Kaitlyn wondered if there was any happy ending waiting for her. - When are you going to take me to him? - She asked simply; there was no need to pretend anymore. It was clear why her uncle brought her here. Cassius raised his brow, crossing his arms over his chest. - I think you got the wrong impression of me. - He said slowly. - Do I? It sounds like too much of a coincidence that you found me not long after the incident with my wolf brother. - Kaitlyn gave him a skeptical look. - It is straightforward, but if you prefer to look after a more complex explanation, so be it. - Her uncle replied, shrugging his arms. - Please enlighten me then. What are you doing here out of nowhere? - She asked dryly. - Out of nowhere? I lived here before you. - Cassius chuckled. - Maybe it will shock you, but I wish to avoid my brother as much as you. - Som
- I think we should be going back. - Kylan looked at the rest of his team. All of his men were exhausted. He made them look for the last two days without a break. Now, every member of his search party could only dream about going back home. Again, his plan was flawless. There was no way his parents would have any doubts about his willingness to find Kaitlyn. There were too many witnesses that could confirm he was restless during this mission. Unfortunately, his sister was better at hiding her tracks. It was not a complete lie. Kaitlyn, in fact, did a good job. His help was needed on a few occasions when she left some tracks, but he was able to get rid of them without issues. Now, when they did all they could, Kylan was not worried about any questions his parents may have. - We can still search. - One of the warriors said quietly, almost making him grit his teeth. - Don't fool yourself. I admire your stubbornness, but the rest is barely standing on their feet. We need some rest. Not
King Lucius looked at Kylan after he dared to speak up. - Finally, someone with some sense here. Stand up and come closer. It felt like a huge weight was lifted off his shoulders. He stood up and looked the dragon straight in his eyes. Lucius chuckled at this audacity. No one in its right mind would dare to look at him so openly. - It looks like you know what I am talking about. - The dragon shot a glance at Alpha. Felix did not even flinch since Lucius still held his mate. He could only think about her safety. Kylan smirked gently, coming closer to the dragon. - The girl you are asking about lived with us for over eighteen years. We found her on the porch; my parents decided to care for her. We were raised as siblings. Lucius listened to him in silence. - How thoughtful. I should thank you, I guess. - He finally released his grip on Luna's throat. She fell to her knees, coughing. Alpha was next to her in a blink of an eye. - She is not here anymore.- Kylan continued. For some
Demetria woke up to the sound of knocking. It was mixed with the scent of delicious food, which helped her go back to her senses quickly. The girl stretched her muscles. For the first time in a long time, she felt refreshed. - Wake up, girl, we have a lot to do.- Cassius spoke from behind the door.- I will be ready in a minute. - She replied, jumping off her bed. Demetria ran to the bathroom and took a quick shower before heading to the kitchen. - That smells delicious. - The girl mumbled while her stomach grumbled. - Then sit and eat. You will need your strength today. - Cassius gave her a soft smile. This man was straightforward to like. Demetria wondered how her father could be so different from her uncle. After all, they shared the same blood. - What is the plan then? - She asked between bites of the fluffiest pancakes she had ever eaten. - Training. We need to take care of your stamina and your bond with your dragon. - The man replied. - Elena. - Demetria mumbled again.-
