Chapter Seventeen
Maddox's POV
"Shadow, dude" I snapped my head throbbing as he clawed at my skull, screaming and howling, "give it a break. I can't think straight."
"That explains why you're trying to kill us," he growled still fighting me for control.
"Shadow," I sighed, "as a fighter you're amazing, you can take wolves twice your size and I'll forever bow down to expertise in battle but this stuff, this intricate human stuff. This is my domain and you need to trust me."
"Why should I," he challenged, "when you don't trust yourself? You hate this stuff. You constantly question yourself."
"I'm not questioning this," I snapped.
"Fine," Shadow huffed, "But if we get killed I'm never speaking to you again."
"One can dream," I sighed.
For the rest of the short, moonlit walk to the cave Shadow sulked in silence, occasionally sighing at the pounding of my racing heart. The closer we got, the faster my heartbeat. C

Maddox's POVCasper tore through the trees. I struggled to keep stride as I fought for Blake."If you hurt him..." I warned."If he's who you say he is I won't need to," Casper said with an annoying air of calm. For once, Shadow was quiet, simply watching from the depths of my mind."Shadow," I begged, "you know Blake, help me."He didn't reply.We reached Mountain Ridge in half the time it took for me to reach the cave. Casper threw open the heavy double door."Kayla," he bellowed.My pack came running, some already unleashing their wolves. Growling and gasping echoed off the walls. Lena stood in the front. Blake stayed in the back his arms stretched protectively in front of Kayla."Kayla," Casper held out his hand."King Casper," Lena whispered. The entrance hall fell into a deathly silence. My pack dropped to their knees, bowing their heads, all except Blake who still stood

Kayla's POVLena walked by my side-firing awkward, polite questions at me."So, you've been living with Royalty, huh?" she smiled."Yeah," I shrugged."And you're a white wolf?""Yeah.""I bet you'd love to go back to Cedar Wood and show them what you've become?""No.""Oh."After that, we walked in stifling silence under the moonlight. Lena side-eyed me every few minutes as if checking I hadn't vanished into a puff of smoke. A million questions raced through my mind. Lena grew up with Maddox. There wasn't a thing she didn't know about him. He was my soul mate and I knew is that he smelled of coffee and cigarettes, was sexy as sin and made me feel safe. Questions lingered on my lips but my brain refused to let me ask them. What if Lena thought I was stupid or laughed at me? What if she told Maddox I was a freak?"Through there," I whispered, my heart pounding, as I pointed to t

Kayla's POVThe room felt smaller by the second. My heart pounded so hard in my chest it was hard to breathe. Maddox gripped my leg tighter.I'm not a warrior. I'm not a leader. I can't win your war.My throat was so dry the words refused to leave my mouth. Maddox grabbed my clammy hands in his and pressed his forehead to mine."Breathe," he whispered. I obeyed as much as the lump in my throat allowed gulping in shallow breaths.Serena and Casper yelled at each other. Their words blurred into a loud cacophony of terrifying nonsense in my head."She will learn to lead Serena because it's in her blood. You think they were just born like Alaya? No, they were trained.""We don't have time. She can fight. She can win Alaya alone. I'm the one connected to her, not you.""And I am the rightful ruler of this Kingdom not you! She will lead an army.""They're insane, actually insane," Blake

Kayla's POV I didn't realise how hungry I was until I started eating. The soup was an explosion of flavour. Casper did what he could with the tools he had but we mostly ate roasted rabbit and deer with whatever veg he could forage or steal, all cooked over a roaring fire and served on a hand-carved wooden plate to be eaten with our fingers. And before Casper, I lived off whatever cold scraps Alpha Patrick and his family left me. "What's in this?" I asked pouring the final spoon into my mouth trying to guess what the unfamiliar flavors could be. "Beef and vegetables," Maddox shrugged, scraping his crispy bread roll off the side of his bowl and mopping up the final dregs of soup. "But what veg?" I tried again. "Carrots, onions, celery, potato, garlic and um, whatever I found in the fridge really." "It's amazing." "It's soup," he frowned. "I've been distracted lately so when it was my tu

Maddox's POVKayla's breathing slowed as she drifted off in my arms, her face full of peace, possibly the first peace she'd ever felt in her life. I wanted to promise her more but I knew I couldn't. Whether she liked it or not a war was coming and Princess Serena and King Casper were determined she would pay an integral part of it. I knew my history. I knew about the Guardian, about their powers and strengths."Why aren't you content?" Shadow mused. "Our mate is where she belongs. She's accepted you. She gave you her innocence and yet you're still in turmoil.""Her entire life has been a war," I sighed. "And now we're bringing her into a real war, one she's not ready for and one she doesn't want.""Izelle is capable," Shadow promised me. "I sensed it when we met in the woods. She's strong, stronger than a normal White Wolf, stronger than Casper even.""I hope so," I sighed, "because she needs to be."Dawn

Kayla's POVMaddox wrapped me a thick, fluffy white towel and lifted me into his arms. I wrapped my arms around his shoulders resting my head on his smooth, tanned chest as he carried me into his bedroom. A pile of lotions and potions littered his bedroom floor. I raised my brows, questioning."Oh, shower things," he grinned, "from Lena, but I guess it's too late for some of them. I think some of them are for after the shower."He dropped me onto his bed and gathered the pile of tools and bottles, dropping them to rumpled bedsheets at my side. My heart sank.All my possessions until now were hand-me-downs and the only hand-me-downs I got were necessities. Of course, I knew what cosmetics were. I wasn't stupid. I cleaned Luna Lucy's bathroom every day and wiped down all her bottles of lotions and potions but I'd never dared use them. I once plucked up the courage to open one and take a deep sniff. Whatever it was it smelled o

Kayla's POVCasper sat behind the desk when we entered with Blake and Lena at either side. Serena sulked in the corner."I just want to go through your current security," he told Maddox, "and meet your warriors. We'll deal with plans going forward once we've checked what we already have and know what we need.""Yes, sir," Maddox nodded, taking the seat opposite Casper's. "If Kayla isn't needed I'd like to send her shopping with Lena. She arrived here with nothing. Serena is welcome to join them."Serena perked up at this suggestion, swinging her swivelling office chair to face Casper with wide, pleading eyes."Of course. We don't need Kayla until later. I would like to see her spar with Lena at some point, just to see what we're working with.""Lena, do you mind?" Maddox asked her."Do I mind shopping?" Lena grinned grabbing her coat from the stand beside her. "Is the sky blue?" She rushed around t

"Let's start with basics," Lena squealed rushing to a floor to ceiling window lined with shoes, boots and sandels. "Oh my Goddess," Serena squeaked holding her hands to her chest. "Casper only ever brought me sneakers and big army style boots. What arethose?" She pointed to a pair of shiny black shoes with red soles and a spike protruding from the heel. "Those, darling, are Laboutin." "They're beautiful." "Luna Lucy used to have some," I said frowning at the shoes. They never looked comfortable when Luna wore them and they didn't look comfortable now. "Those are basics, right? Like they're things I need?" Serena pleaded. Lena shook her head pouting. "Sorry but basic are those," she pointed at a pair of flat black boots similar to the ones Maddox wore. "Dr Martins." "I like those," I said. Lena and Serena pouted at me and dragged me into the shop. I was thrown to a stool and ordered to remove my shoes so Len
