ALPHA ZEUS' POVI was angry and scared at the same time. Seeing my brother sitting that close to Kayla got me very angry. I was concerned for her safety. Perhaps, it was beyond just being concerned about her safety. I clearly saw a glimpse of smile and joy on her face the very moment we got here. That was something she never really gave to me. With Maicon, she seemed to be relaxed. And that was frustrating for me. At first, when I heard she left the premises, I felt bad. My fears were yet to kick in. But on knowing that it was Maicon who had made my men go against the clear orders which I had given to them, my anxieties creeped up to my throat. He obviously pulled that off so he would be able to approach her closely outside my watch. Damn it!"Hello, brother," Maicon said and got up to his feet. "I was not speaking to you!" I replied to his gesture in a fiery tone. "Come on, Zeus," he said. "you don't have to be on edge. Calm your nerves." What? Calm my nerves? Why was he acting to
KAYLA'S POVFor the next two days, I could not find the appetite to eat properly. I was always locked up in my room doing just one thing. And that was to cry as much as I could. I simply wanted to cry my heart out. It was hurtful. The more I tried to endure, the more the tears flowed. I could not help it. Even after I got rejected by Diego, it didn't hurt so badly. But somehow, it hurt so terribly that I wondered if I was going to live through it. Despite everything Alpha Zeus Ludendorff was doing to me, I still had the growing urge to love him more. I was helpless. Hating him was not possible. I already tried that. I got up from my bed and walked to the mirror. I was already a shadow of myself. My eyes were all swollen. Anyone who saw me would definitely know that I had cried my entire being out. Nothing was left. Yet, the attraction I felt towards him did not fade away. I asked myself why a couple of times. It made no sense. The Alpha showed me nothing but his mean side always. Wa
KAYLA'S POVMaicon, without a doubt, acted like he was some kind of devil on his own. The way he showed up was always baffling. I was in shock again, just like the time he stood before me two days ago. "Hello, Kayla," he said with a familiar grin. "Good morning." "Good..good morning," I reciprocated his greeting. I was disoriented and needed to get my composure back. "Kayla, who's there?" I heard First Lady ask me. "Is everything okay?" "It appears you are with someone," Maicon said calmly. "Am I interrupting?" "Kayla, who's it?" First Lady asked as she pulled the door open wide enough. "Oh my… Maicon," she said and giggled half-heartedly. "Hello, First Lady," he said. "How long has it been since I saw you?""That should be a couple of days ago, at the event," First Lady replied. Maicon scoffed. "Well, the last I remember is kind of more awkward. It was not so pleasant. Do you remember?" I could sense the atmosphere of the place getting stirred up. First Lady appeared to know
ALPHA ZEUS' POVI was pacing quietly in my room when my eyes caught something in the premises. I paused my movement and drew close enough to the window. Then, I saw it clearly. The very reason for which I was pacing was just there. Damn it! Kayla was driving me crazy. She defied my orders. I was very direct when I warned her not to have anything to do with Maicon. But she would not listen. She was obviously bent on driving me to the end of my limits. What was Maicon looking for? What did he want with her? My thoughts could not stop running wild. I was ready to face whatever package Maicon returned with. I was waiting for him to make the move once again. Only then would it be justifiable for me to attack him. But with Kayla in the picture, my jealousy was getting the better side of me. I thought of going down there and drag her all the way up to my room and have her warned again. But I could not make the move. I just could not do that. Maicon was obviously trying to get into her head.
ALPHA ZEUS' POVMy eyes were grim and rusty from the anger that boiled in my body. I sat in the back of my black SUV with an expression that screamed a great deal of impatience. I stole a glance at the screen of my watch. It was already about fifteen minutes before it was eight. "Get this shit going faster!" I yelled at the driver. "Sorry, Alpha," he said in a fearful tone. "I'm already speeding more than necessary for safety." I smirked at him. "Are you trying to school me here?" I asked in a thick tone. "I'm sorry. I won't do it again." In that instant, he got the wheels rolling faster. I winded down the glass and had the fast blowing breeze brush against my contorted face. I was boiling and greatly needed a way to cool off. I shut my eyes and tried to coop off. But it was not working out. The moment I shut my eyes, other strange thoughts started to go through my head. What could they have talked about? I could not stop wondering what Maicon had been saying to Kayla that made
ALPHA ZEUS' POVKayla? Why would he want to talk about her? I felt my hand almost slipping away from his collar. But my curiosity kicked in. I grabbed him tightly again. "What do you mean to say?" I queried in a thick tone. I hated the fact he even mentioned her name. "I can't talk if you keep acting this way. Everyone will think we are about to have a fight, Zeus." "I don't give a damn what anyone thinks. I just need to hear what you have to say." "Hmm," he exhaled heavily. "Get your hands off me first. Then, I will say what I have to say." I glared into his eyes for a good while before letting go of his collar. "Please, have a seat," he said and settled down. I hesitantly did the same thing. I was on edge. All I needed was to hear the reason for which he had to mention her name. "I'm listening," I said. "Spill everything you have to say." "Do you want a drink?" He asked. I shut my eyes and opened it. A new flash of anger was in them. "Are you just going to beat about the b
KAYLA'S POV "What if you choose someone else as your Luna?" I suddenly asked. The traces of excitement that were on my face slowly faded into the dark, as a wave of anxiety blew across me. I was suddenly scared of what could happen. Diego's face dissolved into a confused pool. "What?" He asked. "What if I choose someone else? Are you kidding me?" I shook my head. "No, I'm not. I do not know why I feel scared about us, Diego. What if you change your mind?" He lowered his head, trying to create eye contact. "Listen, Kayla," he placed his hands on my shoulders and heaved a sigh. "I will only leave you for another and clearly, there is no other person in the picture. If there is any other person, the picture will be ruined. It's you, just you, Kayla." I said nothing in response to his words. Diego and I have been together for a long while. He is my mate and has the key to my soul. I had no idea why I was suddenly set on edge over the upcoming event. Tonight, he will be cho
KAYLA'S POV It has already been a couple of days since the incident. But I could not endure the pain. Diego hurt me beyond what I could imagine. He didn't mean it. He couldn't have ordered them to throw me out like that. As much as I forced myself not to believe all of it was real, I knew it was. The grin, that devilish grin, that was on the face of Adire as I was being hoisted away played with my thoughts. No matter how much I tried, I could not get rid of the pain. I made up my mind. I would go and confront Diego. I needed answers to all the questions in my head. A few moments later, I was striding through the hallway that led to Diego's chamber. My heart knew no peace. The last time I was in this pack, it was hurtful and heartbreaking. But this time, there's anger and pain in me. "Diego…you can't get away from this," I muttered. However, the closer I got, my ears began to pick strange signals— moans, groans of pleasure, heated breaths— all were coming to my ears. What the
