KAYLA'S POVThrough the time we were on the way, Alpha Zeus said nothing to me. He didn't even look in my direction up to three times. He simply maintained a very cold atmosphere. When I saw him back there, I, for once, felt alive. It was as if I had someone who would come for me at any point in time. Little did I know that he had come because of whatever agreement he might have reached with my stepmom. It was clear. She had mentioned that she captured me, just like he wanted them to. Isn't that funny? Of course, it is. He went as far as telling my stepmom to find me. But I wasn't missing, actually. I wasn't even trying to run. It was his damn bracelet, that he would not let me be for, that I went to look for. But it somehow turned out badly. But in all, I loved the fact he showed a little display of his power and what he could do to anyone who dared to harm me. It simply hurt a whole lot to know he told those who mocked me that I meant nothing to him. Oh yes, he did say I meant a
ALPHA ZEUS’ POVI sat in shock moments after she had left. I was bruised. Not literally, though. But I could tell my ego had been stained. What did she think of herself? Not even a single person has been able to stand up to me in such a manner. Even Maxwell knew very well when to restrain himself from pushing my nerves. I was never a friendly type. Everyone knew that. I didn't just attain the fame of a very revered alpha by luck. It was based solely on what I have done. What I found most shocking was the fact that she was scared. I listened to her heartbeat the whole time she was here. It beat fast, really fast. But for what reason she had to push so hard, I just could not wrap my head around it. "Kayla," I said begrudgingly. I hated to be stood up to. Power had to be protected. If anyone could stand up to me with ease, then it would be equally easier to try to snatch power from me. I grabbed a remote from the glass table in the center and turned the CCTV footage of my premises on.
KAYLA'S POV"Elena, tell me," I said to my wolf, “what should I wear?” I asked, staring at the options lying on my bed, a silvery skin-tight gown and a half top, with a pair of trousers."If you are trying to impress Alpha Zeus, maybe you should go with the silvery gown." Impress Alpha Zeus? That came out of the blue. Why would she even say that? It was a simple question that I asked. And it demanded a simple answer. Just this or that would solve the problem. But no! Elena would always find a way to make things tough. "What has Alpha Zeus got to do with this?" I asked.“It's a simple question. A very simple one." "If you need my opinion, then I suggest you simply go with the silvery gown." That was the choice I considered most. I was not raised in the manner of a stripper. In fact, before the stripper-related incidents, I had not taken off my clothes before for someone or at the very least, revealed essential parts of my body through clothing. For what exactly would I even think o
KAYLA'S POVEverywhere got thrown into absolute tranquility. Never before have I witnessed a bar in such a state. It was totally quiet. No one was saying any damn word. Just a few seconds ago, I could hear people laughing and chattering about the careless play of the guy who was lying on the floor at the moment. It seemed time came to a pause. But when did he get here? I could not tell. Or was he sitting around the whole time? I just could not bring myself to think of something that made real sense. In fact, why was he trying to give people the wrong impression about us? "Urgh!" The guy on the floor groaned in pain. I could see it all over him. He was in serious pain. But the Alpha didn't seem to care for a split second about the painful groans of the one on the floor. His eyes looked like he had come from the fiery pit just to drag a soul with him back there. I was in awe. Such power is carried by a single person. He didn't even look at me, not even for a second since he came. His
ALPHA ZEUS' POVI had no way of expressing the anger that I had in me. I was burning. But the reason for which I felt so much anger was what I could not say. When I walked into the bar and saw that good-for-nothing idiot grabbing Kayla's ass, I got completely riled up. The first instinct I felt in me was to strangle him to death. I just wanted to rip his heart out of his chest and feed it to his corpse. But I ended up getting more furious the very moment the person I saved turned me into the bad guy. What did she want? Someone harassed her sexually and she ended up taking the pervert's side over that of the person that saved her ass! What was she thinking? Perhaps, she thinks herself to be some sort of saint. Or could it be that she loved to be handled that way? But she was a virgin before I took it from her. Every sensible woman out there would have been happier if I dealt with the bastard more. "When I said you feel something for her, you objected to it," I heard Arca whisper int
ALPHA ZEUS' POVThe thought of my brother, Maicon, was a scary one. But as scary as it could be, I didn't really fear Maicon as a person. I grew up not knowing what fear was. However, the thought of him returning was something I didn't want. I remember clearly the account of him having to fly into exile. I was the one who passed the decree for him to get exiled. Although, it was strictly under our father's command. It was exactly five years since Maicon left the pack. And yeah, his time in exile already came to an end. I was not certain. But I could tell it was close. "Maxwell," I said and stopped in my tracks, “what exact date was my brother sent into exile? Do you recall at all?""You mean the exact day you passed the decree to have him exiled?" He asked as he came to a stop in front of me. “Yes,” I replied. "Do you remember the date it happened?""No, but I can confirm for you. Do you really have the feeling it could be him? Are you confident?" Was I really confident about an
ALPHA ZEUS' POVWhen I said that, a look of surprise and curiosity crossed her face. She looked at me for a while. That too was weird coming from her. No one ever looked me in the eyes. At least, not in that manner. She was making it obvious every damn time that she was not scared. "Why… why would ..you want to do that?" The question escaped from the confusion splashed all over the face. I sighed. "I just want to do it. You should not be out here by now. You have to be in your room." She stroked her and heaved out a deep breath. She gazed at the ground for a little while before raising her head again. "By any means, are you doing this because you feel I might want to run away from you? Is this your reason?" I gave no response. I was just looking at her. Why would she even think that far? "If this is your reason, then you do not have any reason to worry. I never tried to escape from you. Besides, if I do that, you will still find me. I have no other place to go." I still said no
KAYLA'S POVWhen a new day came, I could not muster up the energy to climb out of bed. Even after sleep had gone away, I remained there, shutting my eyes as much as I could. All I just wanted was to make my whole reality fade away. Just like people would have a terrible dream and the very moment they woke from it, it was all gone, that was what I yearned for myself. It was all I hoped would happen. But then, I was in my reality. No matter how much I shut my eyes, I would eventually flip them open to the embrace of this dreadful life I have been living all my life. "Mmmh!" I muttered as I stretched myself on the bed, pulling the entire bedspread to myself. My hand groped till it lay hold of a pillow and pushed it to my face. Then, it started groping around for my phone. Instead of my phone, it touched something else. That was a paper, a file. Without being told, I could tell what it was already. The contract that has kept me in this situation. I opened my eyes and glanced at it. At
