Chapter 0126
Kaia POV
| don't want to wake up but | can feel gentle soft hands stroking my face, a feminine voice calling my
name
"Kaia?"
"What tis it?" | turn moaning into my pillow, still half asleep. Eager to go straight back to sleep as that level
of dread returns to me.
"It's tfor breakfast, what tdid you get in?"
"I don't know...3am..."
"3am? Were you at the medical centre the entire time? Alora clicks her tongue at me, concern in her voice. It
was starting to feel nice to have someone other than Father care about my welfare.
Yes we still had a long way to go, but I could feel that sisterly bond... that twin bond, moulding into place. "I had
no choice, we are short on nurses...l should go back actually." | sit up, already mentally preparing myself for
another long day of blood and bandages. "I'll cwith you, but after breakfast, you need to eat first."

"I'm fine..."
"No arguing, you skipped dinner, you need breakfast..."wonder which one of us was more like Mother... | can
imagine mother would have been assertive yet maternal as Alora is being just now. And to think | was the older
twin,
"Or is it a certain someone you are trying to avoid?" She really just hit the nail on the head. | was hoping a late
night would result in missing breakfast, and being able to get straight to the medical centre without seeing
anyone...especially him. "Maybe..." | sigh out, running my fingers through my long bed slept hair.
"There's nothing to worry about.."
"I'm not worried..."
"Good, then we will face him...together. Con...it's like a band ald...once it's done, it's done. You shouldn't be
walking on eggshells in your own hor pack. Besides, imagine he will leave today, Beckett seemed keen to
see them gone. Said something about not entertaining whilst the pack is in mourning from yesterday."
| don't miss the way Alora continues to call Father Beckett, she may never feel comfortable in calling him that.
Her parents are the ones that adopted her and raised her, but we still needed to ask questions of why she was
taken from us, why she ended up at the Amber Desert pack in the first place.
She holds her hand out toand | hesitantly take it, I'd still much rather skip the breakfast reunion.
| quickly throw on sleggings and a vest preparing for training before breakfast and the medical
centre.

Chapter 0126
When we walk downstairs, hand in hand, the breakfast table is already set. Father, Samson, Hector and Jude
already sitting at the table conversing lightly amongst themselves.
As we both enter, all eyes dart towards us...Hector's eyes landing on my hand tightly clasped in Alora's.. Who, is
gently stroking the back of my hand with her thumb to remindshe is there....she knows this is difficult for
me.
"It will be okay, | promise." She says tothrough the mind-link, a small encouraging smile forming on her lips.
"I didn't expect to see you for breakfast Kaia, should you be awake?" Father asks as he pourssbreakfast
tea from the teapot.
"It's fine, | need to get to the medical centre to check on the patients. I'll do that immediately after training and
remain there all day." My eyes inadvertently flicker to Hector who was considering my words as he gently blows
out on his cup of coffee. His mouth in an open pout as he cools down his drink. | have to swallow the lump that
forms in the back of my throat.
My mind darts back to the memory of the first twe met in his coffee shop. How at the tI thought finding
the notorious alpha of the dark phantom pack was all | needed to keepsafe from Than.... | close my eyes
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmtightly as my eyes look down at my flat belly, a memory | haven't had for a while... that feeling of emptiness still
deep within me. A rounding belly no more.
Alora must somehow pick up on my emotions as she places her hand upon my thigh.
"No training today..." Samson smirks atfrom across the table as he reaches for a croissant in the central
basket.
"Oh?
"Yes, Alora will take your place this morning. Just gentle exercising though Samson, I'm still waiting for the
results.." "Results?" Jude questions.
"Yes, I'm waiting for results to see if | am a match to Albra..."
"For?" Hector looks between Alora and Father inquisitively.
"For a kidney transplant." | could curse Father for not only openly discussing this, but being so laid back about
his own health.
"Well...we haven't decided on anything yet." Alora chips in, her eyes side glancing to mine.
"No, but the results are the first step."
