ALPHA REYNOLDS' POV.As I felt sick to my nerves, a disgusted expression spread across my face."We can explain; it's not what you think to calm down Reynolds," she said, her voice breaking as she said."Explain what!" You bloody ingrate, you bounce around, pretending like I've been the worst to you, and you've got the bloody nerve to come up here and let yourself get fucked. Are you fucking crazy?""What the fuck is wrong with you?" I inquired as she shook with terror; the more she maintained her fake attitudes, the more enraged I became. I despise liars, cheaters, and backstabbers."I know you've been up to no good all along, so how about we do this the bloody easy way? Now tell me, where the hell is Kayla?" I asked, enraged.I was indignant and suspicious because of the way she spoke and acted throughout, yet all I had in my thoughts were ideas. With her, I knew I had to play smartly."I don't know what you are talking about." She lied, exactly like I had expected her to. I glanced
ALPHA REYNOLDS' POV."Oh you poor thing, I am sorry. I should have been with you, stayed by your side. I'm sorry, Kayla. If you can hear me, then I want you to know that I am sorry for having the slightest doubt that you could have gone away on your own accord"" I'm sorry for making myself into a bloody, ungrateful person, a maniac at that. I'm sorry for not putting in more effort to find you. I am sorry for every fucked up thing that had happened."I wrapped my arms firmly around hers, not sure I could keep up anymore; I was insanely in love with her; I knew it the moment she left, the minute I held the letter in my hands, that I couldn't exist without her; I knew it the moment I cast my gaze over her, that nothing else mattered except her, and after hearing what Wilson had to say.I was determined to hold her in high regard; perhaps Wilson was spiteful and intended to get under my skin, but that didn't change the fact that what he said was nothing but the blatant truth, which left
ALPHA REYNOLDS' POV."What do you mean by that?." I inquired, drawing closer to her as every conceivable wave of panic overtook me. Listening to her riles me up; as much as I doubted Ava's ability to be a mother, I also doubted her as someone and something else entirely."Why are you so surprised?! I would never have given a fuck about having children; you saw it with Jackson, and I was never pregnant either, and I guarantee you, there are things you can do, but you will never get the truth out of me." Ava explainedAs I approached her, I heard a high-pitched noise in my head."Oh, you had better start talking now; you think I'd give two fucks about you? After all of these sicknesses, did you pull a stunt? I asked, trying so hard to keep my rose buried, and it broke me down. "All I need is your word, and I will tell you everything, but first you have to promise I will not be harmed in any way."/I was desperate, but it still looked like a deception to me. Everything about her and the
KAYLA'S POV."She's pregnant!" the physicians exclaimed as Reynold batted his eyelashes in my direction, a twisted expression on his face as he approached."She's what again? You had better be sure of your words." He issued a warning, and the doctors nodded and smiled."This is my job, and I really do assure you that not a single mistake would happen from my end, so yes, I know what I'm saying, and Miss Kayla here is pregnant." The motor replied once more, and I sat transfixed in my chair, unsure what to say."Are we having a baby?." Reynold inquired as he walked closer to him, his face devoid of expression, which disturbed me."Kayla! Did you hear that? We're having a baby!" He roared again, this time flooded all over me, and a sigh from my lips as he drew me into a warm hit, dropping on his feet, pulling closer to my tummy, and placing a peck there."I'll leave you two now to your privacy, but it is important that she needs treatments, and certain tests also need to be run." The doc
Kayla’s POV."Sign the contract, Kayla, and I promise to do as you wish!! But the second you return, I won't hesitate to kill her!!"************"Who would have ever thought I would return to the Ravenwood pack?" Joy surged through my soul as I came out from the airport, clutching my bag tightly. A warm smile adorned my face, and for the first time in a long while, the feeling of being home was both good and refreshing.This was my pack, the very same pack where my family and I had lived, where I celebrated my eighteenth birthday. It was an occasion worth smiling and celebrating.As I basked in the happiness of returning to the pack, the painful memories that had driven me away resurfaced, abruptly pulling me out of my joyful trance. My once-smiling face contorted into a frown."No! Not now! I can't think about her now!" I shook my head, tightly shutting my eyes momentarily in an attempt to banish the painful thoughts. However, to my surprise, I was abruptly halted in my tracks by
Kayla’s POV.Standing before the mirror, I couldn't help but smile at my reflection. The white gown I wore beautified my body and curves, and I turned to each side, appreciating the way it revealed my figure."If you weren't my best friend, I would have taken you right into my bed and had sex with you!" Willson, who had entered the room, blurted out, his words causing me to burst into laughter."Come on, Willson, don't be silly!" I urged, attempting to stifle my laughter.In truth, I was well aware of Willson's deeper feelings for me, extending beyond mere friendship. However, I chose to ignore it, avoiding complications that might come up from acknowledging those emotions."I am not being silly, Kayla, and you know it! You look like a damn model, and I just don't understand why he didn't appreciate you back then! I bet his head would be on fire if he was to see you tonight!" Willson added, causing me to pause for a moment. He was referring to my past, and it was clear he knew more
Kayla’s POV.The moment his hand held mine, a thrilling shiver coursed through my veins. He was the same man I had met with the familiar little girl back at the airport.Our eyes locked instantly, and I could hear the thumping of my heart as I swallowed nervously, refusing to break eye contact for even a second. His gaze felt soothing, and I found myself drawn and enchanted by it.Despite the familiarity, I couldn't pinpoint where I had seen him before, no matter how hard I tried to recall."Are you okay?" His voice brought me back from my trance, and suddenly, I remembered my reason for excusing myself from my stepmother."I… I am fine... thank you!" I stammered, pulling myself out of his grip and averting my eyes."But you don't look okay… did anyone hurt you?" His concern threw me into a confusing situation. He didn't know me from Adam, so his care for my well-being puzzled me."I said I'm fine!" I cleared my throat, attempting to sound rude, hoping he would back off. However, he
Reynold's POV."It's that special moment when we extend a warm welcome to the newest addition to our pack, Kayla Hamilton!" Gamma Sam joyfully declared, setting off a symphony of applause from everyone gathered.The atmosphere was charged with happiness and anticipation, as the purpose of this gathering and event revolved around the introduction of my new assistant. Personally, I found myself in the dark about her identity, eagerly awaiting the disclosure of who my assistant would be. My eyes anxiously surveyed the crowd, searching for any signs of someone making their way through the crowd to ascend the stage. To my surprise, however, there was no such struggle.A sudden, graceful movement to my right seized my attention, and as I turned, a wave of excitement washed over me. There she was; Kayla Hamilton. Unbeknownst to me all along, the woman with whom I had shared a brief and somewhat awkward encounter at the airport was now ascending the stage as my personal assistant.The re
