KAEL

She had taken it as an insult, though even beneath her measured response, her body language was anything but calm.

My eyes drifted, following her fingers as they drummed against the table, restless against her own nails. Until finally, they stopped. That was when my gaze moved back up to her fierce eyes, and I blinked away whatever had been rising in me before it could show.

    KAELShe had taken it as an insult, though even beneath her measured response, her body language was anything but calm.My eyes drifted, following her fingers as they drummed against the table, restless against her own nails. Until finally, they stopped. That was when my gaze moved back up to her fierce eyes, and I blinked away whatever had been rising in me before it could show."No. I am not going to do that," I said firmly, and her eyes, which had been closed, opened in surprise before narrowing into something closer to annoyance."I do not understand you. I do not understand any of this anymore, and I am really, really getting tired. Just tell me what I need to know so I can do what I have to do," Ava said. But I knew giving in would only work against us, not right now, not when she was already carrying more than she could process."Tell me this, Ava, and your answer will decide what I say next," I said, a shared desperation surfacing in me again, knowing that if she answered hone

    AVA"Dear, what is wrong?" Mother asked from over my shoulder, but my eyes did not move to meet hers.I could not blame her for caring. It was not the caring that bothered me in the slightest, not when I had worked myself to the bone these past few days. I had every reason to. Vera had given me a hint I could not let pass, could not ignore, no matter how much I wanted to.Was this why Lucas had always been watching me?Was this why he had never once confronted me outright?Was this the real reason Vera had come back into my life at all?And the most important question I had yet to ask myself: what was Kael doing? I could not know, not when he still had not made contact, and with every hour that passed in silence, I was starting to feel as though I was losing my mind, or maybe it was only these headaches wearing me down, one after the other, until I could no longer tell the difference between the two.I placed a gentle hand against my head, as if to stop the throb from rising, and that

    AVA"What?" I managed, but Kael's eyes had already darted back toward where my parents stood, his understanding that our time was brief."I cannot explain everything to you in a minute, but I will call you. Understand?" Kael asked.He did not wait to hear my answer before turning back to face my parents. The moment shifted, clarity dissolving into deeper confusion, and I was left pondering a bigger mystery than the one I already had. Victor opened the car door for Kael, and he entered, his expression still fixed on me through the window. I had not even heard Victor greet me, too caught up wondering what Kael had meant. Kael only observed me, and I could not tell what he was trying to read in my expression, before his car finally pulled away from the building.I walked toward Mother and Father. Mother, ever observant, called out to me. "Ava, is something the matter?" she asked, noticing my blank expression.I was not dumbfounded, only overwhelmed. The unexpected weight of Kael's words

    AVA"Welcome, Mr. Kael," Mother greeted.Kael nodded, his demeanor cool and unyielding. "Luna Nova. Alpha Grayson," he greeted in return."Please," Father gestured, and Kael approached the table, though no one sat, even as his grip rested on the back of the chair.Then, in that moment, all the attention in the room shifted to me, and it was like a jolt that made me move. I reached my seat as well, and all of us finally sat down."I trust everything is proceeding as planned?" Father asked once we had settled."Yes, Alpha Grayson," Kael replied."I was also made aware of the vandalism that occurred at the archive," Father said, his eyes resting on neither Kael nor me, but on the glass in front of him, as though whatever judgment he carried belonged there instead."I was as well," Kael answered. "But of course, the intelligence as to which archive would be targeted turned out to be accurate, given that it seems whoever broke in tried to use the bait," Father said. And for some reason, it

    AVAThe heap of paper trails led me to the one person I had suspected all along.Vera.Ever since the realization hit me, I had not moved. I had done nothing but wait, my mind streaming with thoughts. What? Who? Why?I had the answer to the first two. I knew Father had made the transfers. I knew they had gone to Vera's family. But the question that hung thick in the air now was why.I was so consumed by the question that I almost felt myself choke on my own thoughts. I took a minute to breathe, my heart rate slowing even though my head still throbbed like I had taken a sledgehammer to the side of my skull.I did not move. I clutched the side of my face as though letting go would send my thoughts scattering apart. Gradually the throb faded until only a ghost of it remained. The pain was gone, but because I kept turning it over in my mind, it still felt present.Even then, the question was still there, hanging in the room with countless variations to follow. Yet it was a question that w

    AVAThe silence between us made it feel almost as if he wanted me to believe he had turned to stone where he stood. Aside from that, I could only assume his quiet meant he was overwhelmingly disappointed that I had ignored his warning and risked everything again."Kael," I started, but he did not answer. Instead, he drew in a deep breath and exhaled calmly, his eyes still watching me. Before I could get another word out, he walked up to me and took my hand in his. I barely had time to question what he meant to do, my body yielding because I felt no danger radiating from him. Kael pulled me closer, close enough that my gaze held steady with his, and then he said, "Come with me."My eyebrows shot up in surprise. This was the last thing I expected after that quiet standoff. But somehow it felt right. I did not argue or resist. I only switched off my phone light and did as he said."Where are we going?" I asked, when he led me further into the archive, into places I had not even planned t

    AVAThe light in my eyes got dim.So this was how it all ended? Again, like our fate was twisted.Smoke went down my throat thick and hard to breathe. My chest got tight with every breath. The flames came closer, eating up the walls, the ceiling, everything.I shut my eyes, maybe… This was for the

    AVA”I am really sorry. The insemination did not work again."The doctor's voice sounded far away like she was talking to me from a different room as I stared at the paper in her hand without being able to understand what it said.Failed? Again?I did not even remember how many times I had heard th

    AVAMy mother.The moment she heard my voice she turned to me. Her eyes got all teary, the anger she had just a minute ago disappearing.I forced a smile even though I was still feeling pretty tense inside."Mom, do not get so upset, " I said softly, trying to calm her down before things got worse.

    AVAFrom the corridor, I listened to every word, a faint bitter smile slowly curling at the corners of my lips.Sister. That is what Lucas called me.After seven years of marriage in our previous life after countless nights spent in the illusion of tenderness after everything I had endured and sacr
