THREE MONTHS LATERHector's POVIt has been three months since I last saw her, Kayla. I wanted to stop her that day but it wasn't my decision to make. If she felt like she should leave then who was I to stop her? Yet, in that three months, a lot has happened. On a slightly positive side, I was able to help train the packs who came to me for training, they were about...four in number with Hill pack joining. I tried so hard to forget about what happened with Kayla and even though it was tough, even though there were days I transferred my anger to innocent people who wanted nothing but to learn from me, I was able to stop thinking about her. Especially after I heard that she went to the headquarters of the Lycan convent in France. I don't know how she knew about that place's existence but a part of me suspected Nova. Since I heard Kayla went there, I lost hope of her return because of how brutal the place is to those with great, raw, unrefined, and dangerous power. Most of them return w
Hector's POV" Okay, if Aidan is Armani and we have not yet heard anything about Kayla so far, does that mean that Alpha Drey has succeeded?" I asked, trying not to let the bitter truth sting more than it already does." Well, we may be wrong about who Armani is but I think that's the reason Aidan was captured, but as for April and Ava, I don't see the point in taking them." " Except he wants to make more of Freya," I said and Nova's eyes widened with realization." Freya was evil but deep down there was some good in her. I know no one would believe me because they do not know her the way I do but still, she wasn't all bad. She was just hurt, but April...if she gets a taste of what Freya's power is then we'll be doomed for sure." " All of it is just so confusing even for me," Nova said and then we remained in silence. " But you know what? I still figured out why Tia is so desperate to find Aidan. Because Aidan is Armani." " yeah, thanks," I said unenthusiastically as I rose and g
Hector's POV" Don't cry" I said, wiping the tears off Kayla's face as she pulled up the sheets to cover our bodies. " I hate you," she said, cuddling up to me and I chuckled knowing she meant the opposite. " I'm sorry about everything." " Why is everyone after me? I just want to have a normal life. A normal boyfriend, a normal everything, you know?" " Am I not normal?" I asked, twirling her hair in my fingers but she scoffed. " You're not my boyfriend. I broke up with you a long time ago, or was it you who did that because of Aidan? I don't know but that's that." " How about we forget about all of that and go through all of it together?" I asked but she sighed." I can't believe all I wanted to do was beat the shit out of you for sending those freaks after me but instead you seduced me." " I can't believe I was just thinking about you and here you are in my bed. I never want you to leave me again." I said but she just shook her head." I can't stay." " Why not? You're done wi
Kayla's POVEverything matters to me now. I know what I went through learning at the hand of those cruel teachers but they only did it to help me grow. Knowing what I am capable of, I can't let this nonsense drag on for this long. I am capable of ending this right now and that's exactly what I am going to do. Aidan looked so drained. He was pale and lanky it made me feel like crying but I was taught to hold in the tears and turn them into something else - rage to kill my enemies. " He is going after Max and I think that he is already there " I heard Ava say. " But he ALSO says that he will take things easy on your little brother and his mate if Kayla is given to him but if not, he'll come for her and kill us all afterward. This time he will take revenge for his daughter's death." April said but something was off with her." You're saying that with a smile on your face. Like you'd love to see that happen." I said and her smirk slowly started to fade." I was wondering when you will
Kayla's POVI ran as fast as I could to Theresa's house but when I got there she wasn't home, neither was anyone else. So I just sat on the steps and ran my hands through my hair as I tried to process what just happened. I almost killed Tia! What would've happened if Hector didn't stop me? Aidan would hate me forever and I would hate myself forever because even though I hold a grudge against her, I would rather not kill her for it. I want her to live to see me accomplish everything she probably never thought I would. I don't know how long I sat there, I just heard some footsteps and wiped my eyes dry. " Kayla?", " Mom, it's... Kayla." " Hi," I said, still wiping tears off of my face so I look less pathetic. Azalea looked surprised to see me, Aubrey just stood silently beside her mother who still smiled at me as always. When I saw how consistent Theresa's smile always is, I started feeling teary-eyed again. " my child," she said, dropping her bag on the ground as she crouched and h
Kayla's POVAfter explaining to Sapphire the reason why she can't just walk around freely, she was shocked and Theresa was losing her mind about it. " Sapphire please do as they say. I just got you back, I can't let anything happen to you," she said and Sapphire just covered her face in disappointment. " What about Max?" Aubrey asked." Max is on his way with some more kids" Sapphire responded sounding so devastated about everything. "How long do you think it will take for him to get here?"" I think, maybe in a couple of hours. What do we do now? I can't just sit here and do nothing."" No, you aren't, and neither am I. We have to end this whole thing with him here and now "" What?! You're not even prepared, please don't risk my daughter's life for this momentary feeling of determination you're having." Theresa warned me." Okay...but the more we remain quiet about this, the more everything will get worse. Don't you know that he's planning something right now even as we speak?""
Hector's POVWhen I left Kayla and left her locked in my basement. Every inch of me felt so wrong about it. That woman is strong, I know it. She can take good care of herself no doubt but I couldn't let her go on kill mode. What if I'm not there to control or stop it, I don't even know how I did it the last time. Immediately I came out of my house, the first person I saw was Tia, of course, she couldn't see me because I was still playing invisible. " There's no way that boy in there is Aidan" I heard her say as she walked past me with another woman. I was surprised she even had company. Since she came to Mystik pack seeking a truce, she's been left on her own. No one speaks to her and no one speaks of her. I had always wondered why she was so abandoned by even her own pack and I got my answer three weeks ago from Becka who has been in Redwolf for a while. She said that Tia broke their trust as a pack by ratting out her husband's location when those masked men came looking for him.
Kayla's POV" Okay, so there's an Alpha Trinity, and Aidan is one of them, Max is also one of them. I get that part" I said after digesting the heavy info Hector failed to tell me yesterday after our night together. I chose not to be mad at him for it because, well...that would get me distracted from the issue at hand." What I don't get however is how that explains why there are people mauled to no recognition in the bathtub while Aidan is gone," I said and Max nodded." Sorry, I digressed a little," he said before he continued speaking, " You see I believe that the last member of the Trinity is Alpha Drey" " That makes no sense. He should be around the same age as you and Aidan."" Yeah he should, my mom has umm...known him before," Hector said and Sapphire seemed to know more about this " knowledge" Hector's mother had of Alpha Drey. Also, why does she know him? " I know but what if one of the Alpha trios betrayed them and asked to be brought earlier? He came back earlier and star
