After taking a nap, I heard Ruby knocking at my door along with shouting to open the door. Hm... Kay knows that she is up to something to make her mood worse.
When Kay opened the door, she saw a furious Ruby."What's the matter, Ruby? Were you trying to break my door??""Kaylynn, Are you out of your mind??" She was annoyed."Ruby, tell me what have I done now to irk you??" Kay asked as she knew Ruby would have found something to fight."Whom do you think you are to say that the girls under the age of eighteen also should participate in night patrolling. Not only that, girls from the age of ten are also needed to attend the compulsory training from tomorrow onwards..."So that's her problem. Unlike Kay, Ruby hated training and hard-working jobs. She was all into beauty-related things as she wanted to become a model in future. Since childhood, Kay was a hardworking child whereas Ruby didn't need to do anything. Their mother treated these two daughters differently. Now, as it came out, as a rule, no one is an exception."So that's your problem..." Kay said."Yes, it is. I heard from Dad, who was proudly saying that these stupid ideas of yours were accepted by the alpha. What's your problem, Kay?? If you like you can go and do training and night patrolling. But why are you forcing others, those who aren't interested in it? It's not like we are living in the stone age that there is going to be a war or something.""You are right. We aren't living in that time. But it doesn't mean that we won't get attacked. The number of security breaches on our borders is increasing. I suggested training the girls not to push them to fight, but for their safety. They should know basic self-defense...""Bull shit... you and your stupid ideas... " she muttered and went away from there. Then I saw mom coming, who continued cursing me just because I was making Ruby's mood bad. Hmm... just great!! I didn't feel like staying there. So I changed my clothing and went out. Kade was back from the office and he was tired."Hey, you look awful...!!" I commented after trying to hide the laugh by watching his pity face."Don't hide... just laugh it out... our dear future alpha is crazy. He made me check past years' auditing files which I don't have any idea about what I was doing... And now I have a severe headache too...""Aww.. Don't be sad. Go and take a warm bath, by that time I will prepare you my special chicken soup. After that, you can sleep... okay...??""Thanks, Kay, I think I need a soak itself. I will be back in half an hour, make the soup ready..."After Kade left, Kay went to the kitchen. Even though there were servants to prepare food, Kay often cooks there, either for her, Dad or Kade. After chit-chatting with the servants, she cooked her special soup and brought it to Kade's room. He was all ready and waiting with a hungry tummy."Mmm... it smells so good... Your mate must be so lucky to have you!!" He commented and I gulped then plastered a cheesy smile."You don't need to praise me to get my handmade soup in the future too.." Then as if Kade remember something, he asked, "Yesterday was your birthday. You were supposed to find your mate. But you haven't said anything about it??"Kay knows that if she shares it Kade will keep it a secret. But for now, things are just so complicated that she doesn't feel like sharing with him."I wasn't lucky enough to find my mate yesterday... Sometimes we will have to wait, right??""Oh sorry. Yep, you are right... otherwise, by this time, I would have found my mate too." He sighed."Don't worry, you will find her soon. Anyways, take a rest, I should get going. The new rules responsibilities are on me. So I am a little busy right now.""You haven't taken up the position as the beta, but you're so busy now itself. Are you giving me a show darling!!" He teased that I smacked his head and went out.I haven't seen Gavin since the elevator incident. Hm... it's good. I mind linked those who were in charge of the night patrolling and ran towards the borders. I explained each section about the new rule and how it is going to get implemented. After explaining each section, I reached the main entrance. I have called the technical staff and checked the CCTV covering and even discussed using drones if needed. I was in the middle of a conversation when I noticed Gavin's Porsche coming towards the entrance. I got a sneak peek of Gavin looking at my side, and Amelia was next to him who was busy on her phone. For the rest of a few seconds, I had this uneasiness of facing his burning gaze. As his car went out of my sight, I sighed in relief.I checked the previous footage and found that CCTV was taken down first by the intruders so that we won't be getting glimpses of anything from them. It was like a well-planned attack and those who encountered them have said that they are well trained as a ninja, and didn't have the scent of rogue. That means some other pack or packs are trying to take us down.After discussing with the technical team, I went with the few she-wolves in whom I had the confidence and placed them along with the male patrolling team, so that they will get used to the routine. It was almost night, so I planned to go back for dinner. Then I thought about going for a run in the woods. There was moonlight and the climate was so good. But I haven't gone to the woods alone. Kade would always accompany me. I thought to do a quick run and come back soon. So I shifted and kept the clothes in my mouth and ran to the woods. My fur was moving like waves in the breeze, and I moved forward enjoying the beauty of the moon. My paws hardly touched the ground and the fallen leaves were calling out my arrival. As I reached the middle of the forest, I had this urge to go to the lakeside. But that place is not that safe. Because opposite to the lake is another common territory. That means even rogues could be there. But they hardly cross the lake as the current is too strong to handle for a normal strong wolf.I was almost there when I had this feeling that somebody was following me. My senses got alerted and I was searching for any scent. But then like a wind I heard something from behind, and when I turned around there was a big brown wolf standing in front of me... In the second he jumped towards me and I moved to the side. But surprisingly he wasn't in attacking mode. And the scent was of... Gavin...!!In the next second, his wolf came towards me, I could feel that only his wolf was in control and that it may try to claim me even without Gavin's approval. I moved away from him showing my disapproval. Maya wanted to take over too... But I immediately shifted back and cut her out of my mind. For a second I forgot that I was standing naked in front of him. I went behind the tree and said, "Gavin, I know it's you... Shift back..." I said it like a command while wearing clothes. I know the alpha blood in him won't allow accepting the command. But surprisingly he shifted back. And by the time I came behind the tree, he was in his trousers. His chest was bare and it looked so perfect with the toned abs following. No... no... Kaylynn... didn't fall for his goodies and charms... but it wasn't working... Thank God, he can't see me blushing uncontrollably. He looked at me like he was in a trance. "Gavin...!!" Before I could say something, he strode towards me with his long legs and pinned me against the tree. I was so shocked to respond, and I could see him looking at me with so much passion that it made my mind confused. His full body was pressed into me and I started to feel some unknown feelings inside me. I was caged in between the tree and him. I tried to move sideways but he blocked it with his arms while smirking. And that brought me back to the reality of what kind of jerk he is."Gavin, what are you doing??" I yelled at him.He leaned near to my ears and whispered while fanning his breath to my ears."Don't you know what I would want to do to you... miss sexy legs??"I closed my eyes as his teasing question and closeness were taking, making me feel some unknown feelings..."Gavin, you should move away from me.." I said while struggling to control my unsteady breathing... and I punched on his waist sidewise."Ouch... feisty!! Mmm... Or else what would you do, my beautiful MATE !!" It was like a shiver passing through me... He finally said it. He said that I am his mate...!! My eyes opened wide in the next second and saw him looking at me eye to eye. His eyes went lower and lower and got fixed on my lips... which was almost trembling in need to be kissed by the destined other half...But Kaylynn can't do this... she is not an option...!!As he leaned in she moved away from her face sidewise so that the kiss landed on her cheeks.'Mmm... ' she heard him grunt in displeasure as she moved away. But his lips were pressed tightly to her cheeks that she felt goosebumps all over the body. "Gavin, stop this... " she whimpered."Why would I do that... Mate...?? Why were you keeping away from me... Don't you like me??" he asked and moved his face away from mine but didn't leave me out of his hold.His words enraged Kay. Mate?? Is he stupid or something? Or does he think that I am that desperate for him...!!"Mate?? Like seriously?? How could you call me that without any shame?? " Kay asked with fury. Gavin isn't responding but not leaving her as well. He leaned in again and took a whiff of her then suddenly he moved away from her. Kay was confused with his actions. But she didn't stay there for one more second. She was running back to the forest in wolf form, that's when she got the scent of a 'rogue'. Not one, but many of them. Which means they are near and must be targeting something. Then she remembered Gavin being alone in the human form, and he might be off guarded too..."Oh, Shit" Kay cursed and ran back to where Gavin was. He must be off guard due to their emotional drama. The more she thought about it, the more scared she became. Her paws hardly touched the ground as she was running like the wind. As she was nearing, she heard the sound of an attack. Fuvk, they started launching on him. There were almost eight wolves. A strong alpha like him could take up to four or five at a time. But these bastards were fighting against him at once when he was struggling. For a second, Gavin's wolf looked at mine and he was pleading for me to go away... But she wasn't a coward.She jumped on them with her full force and three of them fell sideways. She hasn't had any experience fighting with a male wolf, which is bigger than a she-wolf. Kade has taught her many tricks by which using tricks we can take down the male wolf effortlessly. As three of them were out of his hold, he started to fight back effectively. By that time one of the three jumped into Kay underest
Gavin's POV :When going in the woods following her scent, Gavin never expected to see her going near the lakeside alone at this hour. It was too dangerous. I thought to follow her without being noticed, but I guess she got a great sense of smell when she turned around, doubting that she was being followed. My wolf ran towards her as I wanted to scare this badass girl a little, but that move was so wrong that my wolf Jazz was gaining power on my head. I know he wanted to take over and claim her. That was the moment I saw her shift back into human form. That scene stopped my wolf and me too in surprise. She was standing there like a goddess without any clothing. The moonlight made her skin glow and her hair flowed with the breeze. She looked so mesmerising...!!As she ran behind the woods, I came out of the trance of her beauty. She shouted for me to shift back. Normally Jazz would growl with his alpha power, but with her, he was behaving so well. I shifted back and wore the trousers. S
Kaylynn's POV :Even though Gavin promised that he won't make me bored, he didn't keep it. I mean there wasn't even a contact after he visited me at the infirmary. I was bored as heck, then I heard the knock on my window. I was excited, but later I found the scent as Kade. At least my friend has got concerns about me."The window is not locked" I shrieked out from the bed. Then Kade burst opens it. "Kay, have you had dinner?? I brought your favourite fried chicken for you along with beer." He said with a smirk.This was kind of our night hangout. Craving foods, chilled beer along with some horror or sci-fi movies and long stupid talks were our thing. And he didn't disappoint me in the crucial situation too."Kade, what do I have to do without you?? " I said from the bed. He jumped inside and placed everything in my bed and even arranged my laptop to watch the N*****x latest series.He gave me such good company that I got over the thoughts about Gavin, or so I thought. But when the mov
Kaylynn's POV : After the session which lasted for almost three hours, I went back to my room and freshened up. Kade had promised to join breakfast. I wore a baggy shirt and shorts and went out soon. As I reached the mess, I noticed that Kade was nowhere to be seen. Then I heard the giggling and gossiping from behind. To my surprise, the two devils were together enjoying the time. Amelia and my beloved sister Ruby. 'So, the drama begins…!!' Maya groaned inside my head. They noticed me and their conversation got louder. "Ruby, you are so innocent and sweet unlike somebody else. I am really impressed with you…." Amelia's extra sweet voice was heard. 'Ruby…!! Sweet…?? Haha, she is very funny…' Maya murmured. I inwardly laughed at her comment. "Thank you, my Luna. I feel the same about you. We are so lucky that you're going to be our future luna. I never expected you to be such a cool and down to earth person. After all, you belong to the royal lycan family. And thank God, you're h
Kaylynn's POV : I feel like being used by my mate. How could he kiss me forcefully and in a moment tell me that he can never accept me? What does he think of me?? I am that desperate for his touch?? Or the mate bond was more important than my self-esteem. All the time, when Maya tells excuses for him, I listen. Or at least stay silent. Even deep down in my heart, I thought there was a chance that he might realise the value of a mate bond and come back to me. But, No. It was shattered when he kept silent when the Alpha and others went to the Royal Lycans for their alliance. What a pathetic mate I have got?? I cursed my fate and went for the night patrol. Even though the Lycans' territory is near, we have to cross the lake as the easiest path, but we are not allowed to cross it. Or else have to take a few hours journey by road. So by this time, they might have talked and settled everything. That's when my phone started buzzing, it was Kade. "Yes, Kade. I thought you forgot abou
Kaylynn's POV :I haven't seen Gavin since last night, I mean this early morning. I know breaking a bond is hard, especially the rejection will hurt like hell that too for an alpha. It will subside if he accepts the rejection soon. But, he didn't do it. If he did, I would have known.'It's his business. Let's not focus on a person who treats us like an option. We will need a person who treats us as a priority by realising our values.' I heard Maya's enraged voice.'I don't want a mate anymore, Maya. I know it's not up to me, but I am fed up. The mate bond will create a physical and supernatural pull between mates. But, it can't make them fall in love, right??''Hey, not everybody is Gavin. If we are lucky, we will g
Kaylynn's POV: The news of Royal Lycan's arrival made everyone active and alert. They will be here by tomorrow morning and there are a lot of things to do. Even though Ruby took the responsibility of the King, I am worried about her. She doesn't have any experience in treating higher officials. To be precise, Amelia is the first Lycan coming to our pack. Other than that we only heard of them. The alpha and my Dad often go to higher officials meeting at the palace. They are the only people who are familiar with lycans. But from Dad's words themselves, I know how much respect and care we should give to them. Royal lycans are the most respected category in the werewolf reign. I miss Kade very much now. If he was with me, things would have been much better. He is a perfect partner to work with. Hmm… He must be so busy with his mate that he forgot about me. We have enough buildings to accompany the guests. But as the guests are not the ordinary ones, we have to redo every arrangement. Th
Kaylynn's POV : I woke up right on time and did my chores. To my surprise, Ruby was awake and was busy with dressing up. She was acting like it was her marriage that is going to happen in a week. She saw me looking at her, a smirk forming on her lips. "What are you looking at?? Do you know the difference between a highlighter and a bronzer?? Or have you ever worn lipstick?? Never… you were meant to be a boy, by mistakenly born as a girl. This is for girls like me, pretty and beautiful. You can only dream of these things…" she said coquettishly. "You call this pretty?? Oh God, your makeup is so heavy and caked up that anybody could find it that your face is loaded with it. and you are right, I never wore any of these. Not because I don't like them, but because I had many other important priorities. If I was more concerned about beauty, I couldn't be this strong. If I was afraid of getting tanned, I wouldn't run in the sunlight. If I fear losing the softness of my hands, I would not
