Lisa's POV
Knocking on the door interrupts my train of thought, and I throw back the covers, which is most likely not the right thing to do when I hear a knock in the dark.
"Lisa, you're still awake?" Kayden's voice calls out.
I push myself out of bed and move to open the door, and I find Kayden standing in the doorway still dressed in his dinner suit. I wonder where he has been ever since we came back from dinner with his family. He sort of disappeared.
His eyes drop down to my oversized shirt, which is his. "I woke you up from sleep, didn't I? I'm sorry about that."
I look over my shoulder at the clock on my nightstand. The digital clock is glowing red, the number telling me it is past midnight already. "I couldn't sleep, no matter how hard I tried. I was waiting for you to come to join me. But it looks like you've had other things on your mind. "
"Unfortunately, yes. There's a lot I need to
Kayden's POVI let out a yawn and opened my eyes. The space on the bed next to me is empty. Lisa is nowhere to be found. I smelled a nice aroma coming from the kitchen, and it seemed different and pleasant to me. This is the first time I'll be experiencing such. It seemed quite unbelievable to me, but thinking about it, my room has always been the farthest from the kitchen. So, I've never woken up to such a thing before. I got out of bed and headed outside. Klaus' door was still locked, so I figured he was still asleep. He's been becoming quieter and quieter with each passing day, and I understood that heartbreak might take a lifetime to heal. Jonas is an example. He never healed from his illness and it turned him into a monster.I take the steps two at a time and reach downstairs. The sight before me is both beautiful and even more confusing. I stood in the doorway of the kitchen watching Lisa and my mother cook pancakes
Kayden's POVLisa sits on the edge of the bed and crosses her legs. Her eyes are fixed on the finger where the rings are, as she stretches her hand out in front of her."I forgot to ask if you liked the ring. It took me a whole week to decide on this one. ""Of course, I do. It's the most beautiful thing anyone has ever given me. I'm still reeling with shock over how laid-back they all seemed when you announced our engagement. It's going to take me a while to get over that. "I plop down on the spot next to her, and the bed creaks in response, welcoming my weight. "It feels like I'm dreaming too," I begin. "I come downstairs and I find my mother cooking breakfast. It doesn't get more shocking than that," I say, lying down on my back.She places her hand on my chest and hovers over me. "I appreciated how well she took to things quickly and without complaints."I shake my head. "My mother is in l
Kayden's POVContrary to popular opinion, I wasn't expecting him to be friendly and welcoming. Even at that, I still found it disturbing and unsettling because it threw me off guard. Judging from my experience, most people who act all nice and friendly at all times are the worst kinds of people.I hear a knock on the door, and Dominic walks in with Lisa behind him.prime alpha." She curtseys to me. "Moon-god." She curtseys at him. I noticed she wasn't wearing the engagement ring, and I knew I had to tell him about the latest development soon enough. If I didn't, the demigods in the Council would. They're bound by oath to tell him everything that happens out of the ordinary.The moon god smiled and walked to where she stood. Grabbing both her hands with his He often acted like a child in an adult's body."This is unbelievable. I'm dumbfounded. " He says, staring into Lisa's eyes. He can see it for hims
Lisa's POVKayden's entire day is taken up by the Moon-god, which is something I expected. I've seen him only a handful of times since the entourage arrived at the estate. We stole glances in the hallway as we headed in different directions. He sent a servant to come to find me about twenty minutes ago to meet him in his room before it was time for dinner. I've been waiting in his room for a while now, wondering what is keeping him. I twist the wedding ring on my left ring finger, feeling several emotions wash over me at the same time. I couldn't put my finger on how I felt right now; I'm scared and not scared at the same time. The image of the ring is fixed in my memory, and I don't think I'll be losing it anytime soon. The band of the ring is white silver, and there were little cuts of diamond on it, all leading up to the larger cut of diamond placed in the middle. I couldn't wait to hear from Kayden about how the meeting went
Lisa's POVI didn't think it would be proper to wish Kayden goodbye on the landing strip, so I decided to say my goodbye here in the house. The car left for the airport a few minutes ago. I am struggling to hold back the tears. I know I'll eventually see him again, and this isn't going to be the last time. I twist the ring on my finger, feeling his absence already. Now that the entourage has gone, I can wear my ring without being wary of unwanted eyes seeing it.After lunch, which was a rather somber affair considering a fair portion of the order was missing, I headed to Klaus' office. He's the only person left on the estate that I could have chitchat with aside from his mother. I want him to show me the ropes with the technology I'll need to communicate with Kayden when the time comes before he joins the rest on official duty. He should have been at the airport, but he excused himself from going as he had more pressing i
KLAUS' POV"She came into my office crying after Kayden left, so I told her to get down on the couch and a few minutes later, she was fast asleep."My mother frowns and points behind me. Lisa's room isn't located on this floor.""I know. Before she fell asleep in my office, we were talking about me taking her on a short exotic trip to ease her mind with Jonas’ leaving earth for Epsilon. "My father crosses his arms and gives me a hard stare. "Have you thought this through? Do you know the kind of field day the press would have had if they caught wind of what you're about to do? ""She's now part of the family. She's more or less like a sister to me now. If Kayden manages to pull this off, we would become even closer than we are right now. There's nothing to worry about because Luke is also coming along with us to act as a chaperone. It would suffice in case Kayden asks about Lisa and me being to
Lisa's POVI push the door open and make my way to the stand in front of me."You drugged me against my own will."He tried to explain, but I cut him off."As if that wasn't enough, you kidnapped me as well."He shrugs his shoulder and tries to move past me, but I push him back."You smuggled me out of the country. "What do you think Kayden will say when he finds out?"He raises his right index finger to silence me. "For clarification purposes, I doubt if you've ever been on a plane, so yes, you should thank me for this opportunity. Secondly, and most importantly, if you hadn't walked into my office uninvited, this wouldn't have happened. You were trespassing in a place that was out of bounds for you.""Are you trying to justify your actions?" I stared at him incredulously."I do not need validation to prove to me that you are the architect of your current plight. If you ha
Lisa's POV I follow Klaus and Luke as they walk past another door leading to an elegant hallway that seemed to be secluded from the rest of the airport. We were ushered into a limo that was parked outside waiting for us. Klaus must have been planning this for quite some time now for this plan to be going so smoothly. I pick a seat closer to the door and across from Klaus. Luke is sitting close to the partition separating us from the driver as they converse in what I can only assume to be French. "What do you think he's telling the driver?" I asked Klaus. Klaus shrugs, pulling out his phone as it buzzed in his pocket. "I have no idea, but I can only hope it's what I hold him. We were headed." "I thought you knew French." My voice had a condescending tone to it. Exasperated, he rolls his eyes at me before returning them to his phone. "Shut your mouth and stop bothering me." Luke turns arou
