*Kayla’s point of view*
Recently, life has been fucking me over in so many ways than one. It was as if I had a personal beef with life and it just wouldn't give me a fucking break. I am a she-wolf and you'd think I had the good stuff but you'd be sorely mistaken. I lived under the oppressive rule of step siblings who despised everything about me. They hated everything, even the very air I breathe because of fabricated reasons and lowered my status down to their slave. My blood sister and their parents died in a ghastly accident and they blamed me for it. Apparently, to them I was bad luck and an unfortunate person that brought gloom and doom everywhere I went despite the numerous times that I cried about my innocence. The most pathetic thing was that there was nothing I could do about it. I was just an adopted child raised by their parents who treated me fairly well considering the fact my late mother had an affair with their father. Now, this is where it gets really bad and also really interesting. On my step sister's birthday. I had found my destined mate and I thought life would be a bit easier, but my step sister claimed him for herself and here's the kicker, he was the alpha of our pack. I was pressured to accept the rejection because according to the pack, I wasn’t fit to rule and my step sister was a far better choice. I could still remember that day as if it was yesterday, how broken and helpless I had felt, how my heart had been shattered into a gazillion pieces and the pain of the rejection nearly drove me to madness. In the end, I had settled to drinking heavily at a local bar, determined to use the alcohol to drown my sorrows. Leaning against the stained walls, I clutched my glass of tequila, my sixth in the last hour which was a new all time record for me. The numbness I sought after eluded me however, no matter how hard I hunted it. I wanted to drown away my sorrows, trying to forget about the Alpha choosing my sister over me and tears, hot stinging tears dripped down my cheeks as I drank more tequila to numb the pain. As my vision began to blur a little, I spotted a man sitting a few seats away. A very, extremely handsome man. He had long dark hair and a pair of heavenly blue eyes that made you feel like you were sinking into them. Our eyes met and I didn't know how he did or if he even did anything but some effects of the tequila vanished and I gulped nervously. “Mind if I join you?” He had closed the distance between us and technically joined me even before I could accept his request. I shrugged and continued my drinking spree, doing my best to ignore this hot stranger who looked like he had stepped out of a magazine. “To be honest, I'm here looking for a good time.” He leaned in and whispered into my ears, his hot breath making the hairs on my neck stand, either in shock or arousal… I wasn’t sure yet. “Well, you found the right place then.” I didn't even realize what I was saying before the words stumbled out of my mouth but… why not? We exchanged a few more words, him complimenting me and I was flirting back. I was usually a shy person but under the strong effect of alcohol, that shyness took a back seat and I was in my element, not really in my element but yeah you get the point. One thing lead to the other and the dude's mouth was on mine, ravaging them like it was his property. Like he had been in the desert, starved of water for months and my mouth was the only oasis that could quench his thirst. The funny thing was that I barely resisted, I gave myself up just like that. Then he tore my dress and I swear, I thought we teleported but I found myself in a hotel in record time and the rest of the night was suddenly a blur. ****** “Good morning beautiful. You were incredible last night.” His deep husky voice was the first thing I heard when I woke up this morning. . I opened my eyes and turned, staring at his magnificent form, he was seated and wearing only shorts and his bare chest was on display. My eyes dipped lower and I gasped when I saw his… mighty sword still proudly standing. “Wait.” I checked myself and I realized to my absolute horror, I was completely naked and the bedstains on the bed confirmed my worst fears, I was no longer a virgin. Tears welled up in my eyes. I had just fucking lost my virginity to… to… to a man that I didn't even know. I didn’t even know his name! Today and yesterday was officially crowned the worst day of my lentire life. I tried to formulate words but it was no use, I broke down instead, crying my eyes out but then, I felt his strong hands pull me in for a warm hug, his heartbeat felt nice and the way the heat from his body flowed into mine calmed me down. *I didn't know you were a virgin, I wouldn't have touched you at all if that was the case.” He said sweetly, raising my head to stare into his eyes. “regardless, I was gentle with you.’ Again, I couldn't form words. It was like my brain turned to mush anytime I stared at him and I didn't know what to say or do. This was a crazy situation to be in. And then, he leaned and claimed my lips once more in a soft kiss.Kayla POV“I can’t believe you would such a thing, do you have no humanity left in you?” I blurted out stepping into the room, my blood boiling. “Forgive me for being surprised about this but you are really a disgusting person”Lily turned around with a smug smile not the least surprised I caught her or remorseful, tch!She raised a brow, crossing her arms in mock offense. “Excuse me? I was just checking on you. Is that a crime now?”My lips curled into a bitter smile. “Checking on me? By pouring God-knows-what into my tea?”Lily scoffed, brushing past the tray like it wasn’t the focal point of the room. “You’re imagining things. That’s just sugar. Do you even hear yourself? You’re being ridiculous.”I stepped closer, the pounding in my chest growing louder. “I rather believe they will be a zombie apocalypse tomorrow than anything that falls from your lips”“Genuinely when I heard about your condition I took it upon myself to make sure you’ll be well taken care of when you got back”
Author's POVIt felt like his head was under water and he could barely breathe. It was a bit ironic that he could solve a lot of problems in the pack but was clueless on how to help her. The look of disappointment when he stepped in alone would forever haunt him."Do you want anything?" he offered, instead of giving in to her request. He crouched slightly, trying to catch her gaze.Kayla didn’t move, her eyes fixed on the ceiling. Her expression was distant, as if the weight of the world rested on her shoulders alone."Kayla." His tone softened, almost pleading. "Talk to me. Anything. Yell if you need to, but don’t sit there like this. It’s... unsettling."Her lips twitched, but not into a smile. "I’m tired, Raymond," she murmured, her voice barely audible. "I just want to go home."His jaw clenched as he straightened, frustration bubbling beneath his calm exterior. “I get that, but you’re still here for a reason. The doctor hasn’t cleared you yet.”But that wasn’t the reason he didn’
Kayla's POVI had no more tears left to cry.“You are nothing special”His words kept echoing in my ears like a haunting melody I couldn’t shake off. What really hurt was that a part of me knew—fuck, I knew he wasn’t wrong.I was nothing special. I was just a girl who happened to be lucky enough to fall into the arms of the King and fall pregnant. it was as simple as that.“No Kayla, it’s not” Silver interjected sharply. I jumped a little, still not used to a second voice in my head.“You have done so much for him, he doesn’t get to treat you this way” she continued and a small part of me agreed to it yet that was just our side of the story.If only I hadn’t be stupid enough to believe I was more… if only I stopped myself from falling so hard for him.An unrequited love was just a lover’s hell and I was burning here with the devil herself.When I reached my room, the door felt heavier than usual as I pushed it open, my body trembling. The moment it clicked shut behind me, the sobs I’d
Klaus' POVIt felt like I was losing my mind.What was wrong with me?I tried to recall the way her eyes used to light up, the warmth that would surge through me whenever she entered a room. Now staring at her, all I felt was... nothing. No spark, no pull. Just a cold emptiness where there should have been fire. I clenched my fists, feeling my nails dig into my palms. Why had things turned so sour between us?The memory of her and Ethan crawled back just before she stepped in, uninvited. My teeth ground together, jaw aching from the pressure.We’ve been through this. Logically,I knew I shouldn't even be thinking about it but despite how hard I tried to push the thoughts away they kept coming back!I was questioning who she really was, if the babies she carried were mine and it was driving me insane.I squeezed my eyes shut, running a hand through my hair. These thoughts were dumb, I tried to convince myself. But that nagging voice wouldn’t quit. It taunted me, reminding me of the fake
KAYLA’s POVBeep. Beep.My phone buzzed with a notification.A frustrated sigh escaped my lips as my eyes shifted from the ceiling I’d been staring at, trying to shake off the remnants of the conversation with Klaus. The training grounds were basically empty and without Raymond I couldn’t concentrate, speaking of the devil his name popped up as I stared at my screen.Opening it, a laugh slipped past my lips before I could stop it—a ridiculous gif of him stared back at me with one eyebrow raised, lips twisted into something resembling a wink.Raymond joking was the last thing I expected but I welcomed the distraction.I typed back, what’s with that face? You should smile more.Barely a minute passed before I heard a knock.It was definitely not Klaus because he wouldn’t knock.“Come in!” I yelled out hoping it was Azel, who was basically the only person I could think of that would help my miserable state.But it wasn’t her instead a surprise stepped in grinning like the emoji he sent.
Kayla's POV“I've never liked that bitch” Silver muttered within me and I couldn't help but smile.“I see why you're my wolf” I replied when suddenly I paused- my hand instinctively moved to my belly as a sharp pang hit me.I stopped in the hallway, the world spinning for a second. A salty taste crept into my mouth, like I had bitten into something bitter. My throat tightened, and I swallowed hard, trying to calm the rapid thud of my heart. Something wasn’t right.I felt nauseous.Breathe, Kayla. Just breathe.But the discomfort only worsened as I forced myself forward. I barely reached my room when a stabbing pain shot through me, enough to make me gasp. Panic surged. I leaned against the doorframe, trying to steady myself, sweat dampening my palms.“Help!” My voice came out strained, barely more than a whisper. “Someone please help!”“Luna Kayla” someone yelled rushing to my side, I could barely register the face of who came to my heed but I was grateful.“I... I need help,” I manag
Kayla’s POVThe tears started falling before I even realized it. My chest tightened, each sob coming out as a painful gasp for air.“She left me there, she abandoned me” I croaked out, my heart feeling heavy.“She did it to protect you,” Silver whispered in my mind, her voice gentle, like a comforting breeze against my skin.I wanted to believe that. I had to. But the ache in my chest was unbearable. For so long, I’d believed my parents were dead, that I’d been spared from some type of accident but that wasn't the case.She had left me at their doorstep, she took my wolf and left me vulnerable,But at what cost?A sob escaped me, the kind that leaves your throat sore. I could taste the salt of my tears on my lips, and feel them slip down my cheeks and onto my skin. My hands shook as I wiped at my face, but the tears wouldn’t stop. My chest heaved, desperate to catch a breath, but each inhale only brought more memories.“Why didn’t she tell me?” I whispered, my voice barely audible ove
Kayla's POV“Kayla you're acting like a child.” Klaus calIed out behind me stopping me in my tracks.I never thought I could feel so much anger that I couldn’t breathe, I looked around, hoping this was a dream seeing Raymond changing out of his clothes. He looked like he didn't want any smoke and letting us deal with the issue ourselves.“You're unbelievable, Klaus” I snarled, crossing my arms.“I'm just saying you're acting a bit irrational here”Irrational?Irrational??It took a lot not to cross the room and punch him so hard he swallowed his words.“I'm sorry I find it a bit hurtful the only reason you're alive is because I risked my fucking life for you and you don't give a damn, rather you're accusing me!”“We're talking about a baby Kayla, the kid is innocent in all of this” Klaus retorted like I was bothering him.“Yes but I'm not, right? I'm the one who forged DNA reports. You are beyond reasoning with and I have better things to do” I turned around to leave but I stopped tur
Kayla’s POVSteam rose from the tub as I sank deeper into the water, letting it wrap around me like a cocoon. I thought a bath would help but I still felt as shitty as before.A knock on the bathroom door pulled me out of my thoughts. Azel stepped inside with a tray of food, her eyes twinkling with something and I could immediately tell she had some new gossip to spill.“Anything interesting today?” I asked, though I already knew where this conversation would lead.“Oh, just the usual palace chatter,” Azel said, setting the tray down on the side table. “You have been through so much, we need you well and rested.” Azel tried to shift the conversation.“No Azel it's fine. whatever you have to say I can take it” I said, sinking deeper into the tub so only my head was on the surface, my hair spreading through the water like tentacles.Azel walked up to the bath, splashing water, unable to meet my gaze before speaking.“It's Lily”I stiffened, my fingers gripping the edge of the tub, guess
