The Most Wanted Luna novel Chapter 4

Kayla’s POV

The stares I was getting as Hector and Aidan declared that I was their mate was enough for me to wish for powers that could make me disappear. Now they have something new to hate me for, what have I done to deserve this?

Hector seemed to realize that he said something he normally wouldn’t, I could tell by the way he looked so shaken before his friends pulled him away.

“ Why did they take him away?” I heard someone ask.

“ Where Hector comes from, they do not admit or acknowledge a mate that isn’t a rogue. It’s believed to be physically impossible but Hector didn’t seem to have any difficulty saying that Kayla is his mate.” Said a boy who stared at me as he said these words.

“ Wow, she has two guys at school willing to fight each other when she is one of the most useless wolves at this school. Don’t even delude yourself and think that you’re special, you’re just an abnormality and I wish you’d just die alr- ”April was saying, she must've not realized that Aidan was still standing there, if she did, she wouldn't have said one evil thing about me.

“ Say that again April and I WILL RIP OFF YOUR HEAD.” Aidan said through clenched teeth as his eyes glowed red, causing everyone to step back from him.

“ Are you okay?” Becka asked, placing one hand on my shoulder and using the other to wipe something moist from my cheeks.

“ Why are you wetting my cheeks?” I asked and she scoffed, “ You’re crying you little – “ her words were abruptly cut short so I looked at her and found that Aidan was staring at her with a murderous glare, his eyes were still bright red. “ Do something, Kayla,” Becka whispered so faintly that only I and probably Aidan heard it.

“What were you going to say?” he asked as he approached her. I stared at him, realizing that this was his wolf being protective of me and knowing how terrible it will be for Becka if he actually hurts her in the process so I gripped his hand and held onto it.

My heart slammed against my chest when he turned and glared at me with his red eyes but it wasn't for long because the look in his eyes soon changed drastically and his gaze became soft. He even looked so pleased that I was holding his hand.

He didn't seem to have a single care in the world if we were being watched so he took my hand in his and kissed them, something he would never do before. His wolf was taking total control and I wasn't sure if he would like that when he regains himself.

“ Don’t listen to April, you're not useless Okay?” he said with a faint smile. It actually hurt because it took his wolf taking over him to realize that April is full of spite for me.

“ Come on, let’s go,” he said, holding my hand in his and fully prepared to take me with him to where he was headed.

“ Aidan!” Mr. Bentley, the school's principal called. Aidan exhaled roughly before he turned around. I saw Hector enter his office looking very angry.

“ There will be an emergency meeting about recent…occurrences. Your mother will take Kayla home you have to come to my office.”

Aidan reluctantly let go of my hand before he left but as he reached where Jason stood, he whispered something to him and he walked past April like she doesn’t exist.

Somehow I was glad that Aidan was finally giving in to the fact that we are undeniably meant for each other. But I also suspected that my life would become so tough now that Aidan has seemingly rejected April, she will not rest until she punishes me for this reason. The way she was glaring at me now was just a proof of my fears.

Immediately after Aidan entered the office, some teachers were on ground to send students back to their classes. At first, a good number of them didn’t want to go because they planned to eavesdrop at Mr. Bentley’s office, but when the penalty for loitering was tagged as detention with Luna Tia, everyone dispersed in seconds.

After our last class for the day, I watched as the clock struck three and everyone rushed out of the class to see if Aidan and Hector were still in Mr. Bentley’s office. Fortunately, we were on time. Aidan came out of the office smiling warmly at Hector who seemed just as pleased as Aidan.

“ Well… I guess they chose to share Kayla. As expected, such a whore!” April sneered at me before she walked away with her friends.

“ Kayla, come with me,” Tia said as she came out of the office. Without another word, I followed her outside the school. She found her car and motioned that I get in the car. She was so quiet throughout the ride, she didn’t say anything to me and I knew it wasn’t her fault.

She raised me and Aidan to love each other - but as siblings not to become romantically and sexually attracted to each other. I knew that she was having a hard time thinking of what to say to me, so I thought I should initiate the conversation.

“ I’m sorry,” I said, fiddling with my fingers. She glanced at me but didn't say anything. Eventually, she sighed and said, “ It’s not a bad thing Kayla…it’s just a bit shocking to know that Aidan has known you’re his mate but chose not telling you for almost a year…that’s ridiculous.” She lifted her hands from the steering wheel before gripping it again and frowning.

“ I was upset that he didn’t tell me either,” I said and she gave me a pitiful look.

“ It’s okay, he’s yours now. The only thing is Hector…did you feel any kind of connection to him? Or is he lying?”

“ He’s not, his scent distracted me a lot – quite like Aidan’s did.”

She sighed and made a turn to our house and after parking the car she said, “ go inside and don’t let anyone in until I get back,”

That was strange. Why wasn’t she coming with me? I took out my backpack and got out of the car but she stayed until I entered the house and shut the door. Immediately she saw that I was safely inside, she drove away at an alarming speed.

Something strange was going on…I just knew it. I took my bath and ate lunch before spiraling around the house as I tried to keep my mind away from what was truly haunting me. When no one came back after a while, I gave up and sat in the kitchen thinking about what it would mean for me to have two mates.

Why would the moon goddess give me such a match? I was already too favored by being resistant to wolfsbane, now I have two mates. The fact that I wasn’t strong seemed to be the only flaw that people saw in me, coupled with the fact that I wasn’t beautiful. I knew a lot of girls AND boys at school would hate me even more but I just thought to myself that there is nothing I will do that will make it change.
