Kayla’s POV“What do you want Kayla?” Klaus was the first to speak.I blinked up at him, my heart cold devoid of the warmth the bond left.Couldn't he feel it too?Or did he not care?Maybe replacing me with Lily was enough for him to care about what we shared.For a long, breathless second I couldn’t move, couldn’t think, only feel the hollow emptiness gnawing inside me.“You need to leave.” Klaus' voice snapped me out of my stupor.My lips parted, my throat dry, but I forced the words out. “I need to speak to you. Alone.” My eyes flicked to Lily, who smiled smugly.She had been on Kain’s side once, who's to tell if she wasn't still his puppet.“My belly…” Lily moaned, pressing a hand to her flat stomach, her face contorting as though she were in unbearable pain. “Klaus, it's hurting again. I need to rest.”Klaus immediately turned to her, his expression softening in a way that twisted my gut. “Hold on,” he murmured to Lily, concern flickering across his face. Then his head snapped b

Kayla's POV In my wolf form, I padded closer, the bridge of my nose twitching for a scent. Whoever had done this may still be lurking around.Angling my head I sniffed the air and listened for a sound but there was no other. Expect the slowing heart beat of the victim.I crept a little closer, watching his chest rise and fall in shallow breaths. My heart tightened, torn between fear and compassion. I circled him slowly, scanning again, desperate for any hint of danger. But still, the air carried no one else’s scent. Just him.I lowered my head, inhaling closer. His wounds were fresh, deep gashes that I suspected were inflicted by a wolf.I hesitated for one last second, then made my choice.Carefully, I lowered my body, shifting my weight so I could nudge him up onto my back. My wolf grunted under his weight, my legs trembling as I lifted him. He groaned faintly, but he didn’t wake. Which was a good sign, he was alive and I could still save him.I did my best to run through the wood

Kayla's POV “Good, we should head back, it's getting late,” Raymond noted and I nodded in approval.We were about to leave when a feminine voice stopped us.“Kayla.”My brows knitted it sounded somewhat familiar before I could turn around my brain recognized who it was.Dr. Clara, my obstetrician.“You have been avoiding me,” she said, plainly folding her arms.That wasn't the case but from her perspective it must have looked that way. Azel kept reminding me but for one mental breakdown to another I never acknowledged her letters.Her eyes narrowed slightly as she watched me scramble for words.“You knew I had been asking for an appointment. Yet you never came.”I shifted my weight feeling a tad guilty, it wasn't my intention genuinely.Before I could defend myself, her eyes looked past me, her expression changed immediately.“Beta Raymond,” she greeted politely, her tone changing instantly, almost flirtatious.Couldn't blame her, the man was worth crushing hard on, too bad he was mor

Kayla's POV Azel’s jaw dropped to the floor. “Me?” She looked thunderstruck.I nodded, grinning from ear to ear. “I can't think of anyone better for the position”“But my lady, why me? Your kids deserve the best, a wealthy lady who can cater to their needs, not a maid”“Shh, I stopped her. “You're not just a maid to me. You're a friend Azel and it is not a proposition it's an order. You will be my twins’ godmother”Her hands flew up and found mine, “I’m honored my lady” she squealed, elated.I cupped her cheeks, wiping a tear that slipped down her jowls. “I’m sure they can't wait to meet you”“Me too,” she changed her stance, placing her hands in front of her, returning back to her maiden character. “Let's get you ready for the night”***Kayla, please…No.Kayla you have to help me before it's too late, help me Kayla!My eyes snapped open as I jolted awake, my breath ragged and my heart plummeting in my rib cage. I held my hands in my head as I recalled the nightmare vividly.There

Kayla's POV Surprisingly, the more I shoved food down my throat, the more my appetite returned and I ate more than I thought I would be able to.But the moment the euphoria of the food stopped, the cold silence returned to the table, mocking me.I decided to wave it off and go for a walk.My legs moved of their own accord, taking me outside. The front yard was empty except for the guards stationed outside.I couldn’t help but imagine how lovely it would be, watching my kids play tag, running through the lawn while Klaus…The image shattered as my current reality slapped me harshly across the face. I returned inside with a frown etched into my face. I needed to stop fantasizing about things that would never come true.I didn’t relish returning to my room, but it looked like the only option. As I pushed the door open, an idea struck me.I could go train in the gym, there would be too much adrenaline rushing through me- I wouldn't have time to think of anything.It sounded logical so I

Kayla’s POVAzel shrank back, visibly shaking. I walked up to her to snap her out of her daze, failing miserably to hide my smile.My heart swelled for her, but she was at a loss of words, Andrew also looked shaken.I understood how she felt, I went through something similar with Klaus. No, I wasn't going to jinx her moment by thinking about my failed bond.“Azel this is good news” I said elated, breaking the uncomfortable silence. “You should be happy”But she only shook her head, backing up like she’d been accused of something. Her lips quivered, her knuckles still white around that poor folder she held.“How convenient,” Raymond muttered, his eyes fixated on Andrew.“Raymond.” I warned, throwing him a look. I knew he was suspicious of him but this was Azel's moment.She didn't feel worthy to get a mate and now this would be a chance to prove her wrong, she deserved all the happiness in the world regardless of her social stance.“Andrew, we'd like to invite you to the palace until y
