Yara's POV.I had baked Maggie a cake for her birthday, even if Oma had said it so wasn't necessary, I did it because it's the only thing I could give to her. I asked around with the maid and I got the information that Maggie loves chocolate so I settled on a chocolate cake. I spent the whole day in the kitchen with the maids, baking, but I ended up loving the whole experience, they weren't so bad to talk to and I got a lot of information for them.It turns out that Maggie and Kyle's parents were the late Alpha and the Luna of the pack and they had both died in an accident on their way to create diplomatic ties with another pack. Alpha Theon stepped up immediately after their death, claiming that Kyle was still too young to rule so he managed to get himself crowned as a temporary Alpha until Kyle became of age.I wanted to know more about the family so I asked them about everyone in the house and I learnt a lot from them. Oma is an adopted daughter of a beta, she came into the house a
Oma's POVIt had been one of the maids idea that I wear the strapless white dress that showed too much cleavage that I wasn't even aware that I had. We had found the dress in a store while on our last minute shopping for the surprise party we had planned for Maggie. The whole house except for Alpha Theon and Kyle knew about the party, I knew Kyle would forget about it, not because he didn't care but he didn't remember stuffs like that, the man doesn't even remember his own birthday so that's why I slipped a note under his door at night.The girls kept pestering me to try on the dress and wouldn't move on until I did. At the end of the day, we went home with the dress wrapped up in a bag for me. When we got home, I tried on the dress a thousand times and still felt uncomfortable about wearing something like this in front of such a crowd but the girls wouldn't hear of it.Rumours were already flying around that Yara was down in the kitchen, baking a cake for Oma, I didn't believe it, it
Kyle's POV.Anytime I went through a crowded club, my senses heightened by the pulsing beat of the music and the scent of sweat and alcohol. As a werewolf, I was used to navigating the raucous atmosphere of these human and werewolves gatherings, but tonight was different, I needed to get away from the house, hence the reason why I came here in the first place.I stepped out of my room after the women had left and I had finished the bottle of vodka I had ordered. I turned around to find someone standing at the far end of the hall, I couldn't make out the face since the person was covered in a cloak but something about the outfit looked very familiar. My attention was drawn to the figure in the shadows, standing motionless and shrouded in a long cloak.I squinted my eyes and was taken aback to recognize the cloak, it's my mother's purple cloak, the one that had gone missing after their death and Alpha Theon had said someone was spotted in it, could this be the person? I stood there for
Mauris POV.The whole thing with Kyle is beginning to get irritating, I couldn't stand the unspoken hatred between me and Kyle. He avoided me as much as I avoided him, we did everything to avoid running into each other and now I felt tired of it all. I want to talk with my friends again, discuss things with them around the house and enjoy their company like we usually did.After the birthday celebration, I helped Maggie clear move her presents to her room, even if I knew it was a task the maids were expected to do, I was more than comfortable doing it, at least it took my mind off the thoughts that have been keeping me awake and.red eyed.Everyone complimented Yara after they had a slice of her chocolate cake, a few people had suggested she opens up a bakery some offered to give her contracts to bake cakes required for events if she wants to take this a step further but Yara simply smiled, thanked them and promised to get back to them.One of my father's appointed doctors had been at
Oma's POV.The news about my father's death came as a total shock. I had seen him the other day at his apartment and even planned on dropping by to talk to him about the whole Summerstones situation but now, I received a report on his death and the pack had tagged it as suicide along with a letter that commands my presence at the next council meeting to discuss matters regarding my loyalty and the kind of relationship I had with my father.I am not sure that I would like to hear a conversation like that at the moment but I couldn't turn down a direct order from the Alpha. As I stood in the elevator, tapping on the envelope that I had received earlier today informing me of my father's death and the meeting, I felt empty. I had expected myself to burst into tears the moment I finished reading the message but since then and up until now, I felt nothing. It felt numb, I loved my father and even though we didn't have the best relationships, at least he had adopted me and took care of me ag
Maggie's POV.Yara and I were busy playing one out of the hundreds of games in Mauris room when Mauris returned from the council meeting that he had left for a while, I wasn't expecting him to be back so soon since those things usually took longer than expected and the surprised look on Yara's face simply meant that she wasn't either. I paused the game as Yara is ran up to him, wrapping him up in her tight embrace. It's so obvious not that Yara belongs to Mauris, it would have been a grave mistake if she had married Kyle, she would have never been this free and happy with him and I knew that Kyle has noticed it too, just like everyone in the house."You're back." Yara wrapped her arms around Mauris and kissed his cheek softly. She turned around to look at me, I could see her flushed cheeks, "Oops! Sorry about that." She apologized and put a comfortable between their tightly enclosed bodies."Don't have to apologise, I would just have to get used to it." I waved off her apology with a
Kyle's POV.After I dropped Oma off at the house, she said she just wanted to rest and walked to her room without a word to me. I went to my room since I had some papers to review before tomorrow's meeting but for some reason, I wasn't comfortable. I just didn't feel right to know that she was all alone in her room, going through this tough time alone.I wanted to talk to her, to see how she was holding up, and probably bring her some chocolates, she loves sinking her teeth into a chocolate bar anytime she was upset, I want to do all this and more but at the same time I didn't want to impose on her private space.After much deliberation, I agreed to just check in on her and if she is sleeping then I would leave the chocolates by her bed side and return to my room. I kept a pack of some chocolates bar because of her, most times I would drop some in her room without her knowledge and loved how her face lit up when she found them, she would eat them without bothering about who had left i
Oma's POV.I wasn't expecting the wave of tears that hit me the moment I was alone in my room. There was suddenly this large hole in my chest and the room felt like it was spinning around. The back of my throat burned with the unshed tears that I was yet to release. I knew I needed some air, I needed to talk to someone and I know just who. I grabbed the purple Cloak from where I hid it deep inside my wardrobe and snuck out of the house, I waited until I was in the darkness outside before I slipped it on and headed for Lucian's den, I just hoped that I would find him there since I had not informed him that I was coming and I knew that it's not safe to go to the club just yet, not after those pictures that Alpha Theon had shown us during the council meeting.I drove to the tunnel that led to his underground base and went in. The tunnel was dark and cold but that didn't stop me, I switched to my wolf vision and kept walking straight ahead. I arrived in front of the large metal door, this
