Kyle moved over to Nathan and placed his hand on his shoulder and whispered to him, "We will find them, we must".
They went through intensive training throughout the week. Luckily, Kyle had no encounter with Kimberly and he was so worried about his mother since they were not allowed to speak to anyone outside the Academy.
It is a day left to their departure from the Academy. Paul, Nathan and Kyle were packing up, excited to be home. They were stronger, they could feel it. The training they went through strengthened them. Kyle was named the strongest of them all. He knew that was true, being the only Lycan as well as a Royal give that powerful blood but he feels it's all useless if he can't use it for his mate.
Kyle has hoped Paul could feel the connection again or better still she should contact him but they knew the latter was a No! No!! He was on the last shirt when Paul and Nathan burst into his room and placed their hands on their knees as they tried to breathe properly.
"What happened. You guys look like you've seen a ghost". He smirked and went on with folding his shirt.
"Kimberly left the Academy yesterday". Paul said.
"What do you mean by she left?". Kyle questioned as he zipped his bag and sat on his bed.
"Yes, she left and she left a note behind... the message...". Paul couldn't complete his sentence as he kept on rambling.
"Revenge, Kyle. She wants revenge and we don't know to whom?". Nathan said finishing it. He seemed relaxed than Paul who was lost in his own world.
Kyle realized Paul was shaking and was having difficulty in breathing as he ran to Paul and picked him before he fell.
"What is wrong with him?". Nathan asked confused.
Kyle's eyes widened. He only had a guess of what could be happening.
"Call Kira now!". He shouted panicking.
~ EIGHT~
Kyle had never felt so useless in his life. He didn't know what to do why his best friend was grunting in pain. Arthur wasn't the type to be easily impressed but Paul managed to break those walls.
"Will he be okay?". Kyle asked with a frown on his face. After Kira arrived, they placed Paul on the bed and Kira began work on him.
Kira is a witch, a healer to be exact. Even though the Academy has more than ten doctors, Kyle didn't want them involved because he didn't know what was wrong with him and didn't want to expose something Paul had wanted hidden.
"Relax!". Nathan said trying to soothe his anxious best friend meanwhile he has been panicking.
They heard Kira sighed and moved closer to inspect the problem. They couldn't get any clue to what was wrong.
"What's wrong?". Kyle said with authority laced in his voice.
"Don't use that tone with me. You might be the Alpha King but my world and yours are different". She whispered.
She was scared, Kyle could tell but why? The Alpha's voice shouldn't have any effect on her since she is a witch but he was so agitated that he couldn't reason.
"I am sorry Kira. I just don't like seeing him like this". Kyle apologized. He wasn't the type to act irrationally.
"So what's wrong with him?". Nathan asked. He has always been the calm one but not knowing what was going on with his friend was eating him up.
"It seems someone is trying to communicate with him but something is blocking the communication". She explained.
"What do you mean?". Kyle asked suspiciously.
Kira blushed. She had heard of Kyle and to all the supernatural, he was feared though some testified him to be friendly. When Kira met him during one of the training sessions where she and four other witches had to fight with him, she was scared she would hurt him. She knew from then on she liked him and hoped he felt the same.
"Ummmm...". She felt Kyle coming closer, she wished it was for a different reason though. 'Kira wake up'. She thought trying to get a hold of herself. This might be her last chance with him and she didn't want to ruin it.
Kyle was getting annoyed by the seconds. He didn't care why she dared to stop without fully explaining to him. He hoped she had a justified reason for her disrespectful attitude.
Nathan watched in silence. He knew what was going on as he smirked but he was also aware of the fact that his best friend was oblivious. Nathan also knew it was no use since Kyle was irrevocably in love with Elizabeth.
Kira kept on chanting something as Kyle kept on stomping his foot impatiently.
"I am sorry". She apologized after composing herself and later continued, "the person trying to communicate with him seems to be in pain and since the person is closer to him, he would feel part of it but my logical explanation for his unconsciousness is either the pain is unbearable or she is dead".
"She can't be dead! She can't be dead!!!". He kept on chanting. Nathan could feel for his friend as he positioned him to sit well at the edge of the bed.
Kyle could not believe it. He won't believe it. He knew if she was dead, he would feel the little bond remaining broken. However, nothing came so hope blossomed in his heart. This actually taught him a lesson because he was so sure that he won't let her go ever again, he can't afford to lose her.
"She is not dead". He said defiantly looking straight at Kira trying to find out if she was lying but all he saw was a confused face. Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain. And his wolf howling in sadness.
He immediately went to Kira and threw her at the other side of the room. "You said she will die and now she is dead". He shouted angry at himself and at her.
Kira tried standing but she sat immediately feeling the pains at her back as Nathan immediately ran to her aid. "It was a theory". She said calmly wincing every minute.
Nathan went immediately to her rescue; he knew at this rate he will kill her. "Calm down ". He was taken aback by the deadly glare his friend gave him.
"She is dead Nathan, the girl destined to be with me. I gave up that opportunity to be with her, to experience with her and you are telling me to calm down". He started screaming as the tears flowed freely. What can he do now she was gone? She was his happiness and now she is dead. Kyle could feel the emptiness already.
"She is gone Nathan, my love, my heart and my happiness is gone!!". He whispered as he sank in defeat.
Nathan could feel his Alpha's pain and he is positive the whole pack would feel the same. Kyle was never the type to show his feelings because that was how he was taught. His father has this popular saying,' feelings are for the weak'. Nathan knew Kyle had believed it which could be one of the reasons why he rejected Elizabeth.
"Kyle....". Nathan was about to continue when Kyle stopped him.
"Why will she leave me? she has....". Kyle was stopped by Paul who started coughing.
Nathan ran outside the room to get him water while Kyle immediately bounced unto the bed.
Paul held to his head, it was as if his head was under construction. The headache was coming in full force and he tried remembering what had happened before now when he heard the words, "I am sorry".
Kyle was still kneeling on the bed trying to give Paul space to get his thoughts together despite the fact that he was so anxious to get the answers to his questions.
Paul's eyes widened. He knew who that voice belonged to. He was shaking his head and chanting the word 'no'! while the others tried to shake him out of his thoughts.
"Do you know what is wrong with him?". Nathan asked Kira while Dropping the cup of water. Immediately students had gathered by the doorstep trying to get news.
Kira shook her head, frightened instead. She is a newbie who was pronounced the next most powerful witch but she knew for certain her power was under developed. Her crush now forgotten as she almost pushed Kyle away to run outside but Kyle who was stronger held her by the waist.
She squealed trying to get out of his hold but Kyle was having none of that as he turned her to face him. "What is wrong with him?". He asked while narrowing his eyes.
Kira kept her eyes down. The distance was so close now that she could smell his expensive cologne which caused her heart to beat faster. She gulped as she managed to pull herself away from him.
"I don't". She calmly said. "The person at the other side is blocking me away but trying to either talk to him or he/she doesn't realize the pains he is going through". She said looking at Paul who was being comforted by Nathan.
"Paul do you know what is happening to you?". Kira asked.
Paul nodded as a tear fell on his cheeks.
"What?". They asked simultaneously.
"She is not dead but she is dying".
~ NINE
"What do you mean by she is not dead?". Kyle asked sniffing back his tears.
"She is not. And who said she was?". Paul asked unaware of Kira's presence.
"She did". Kyle answered, glaring at the witch who pronounced the Love of his life dead.
"Kyle, it's not her fault. The picture given was Elizabeth lying in her pool of blood". Paul said.
Kyle growled picturing her dead, He can't deal with It; "You said she was dying?".
"It seems so because when I went further, she was breathing". Paul answered, squeezing his face trying to remember what he saw.
"What exactly did you see in your vision?" Kira asked while trying to get something right.
"She was lying in a pool of blood while whispering something. I also saw a young woman of her age with her", He explained.
"Thanks but give me time to think about all this. I will be back tomorrow". Kira said while walking out of the door.
Nathan, who has been quiet for a while gasped. Kyle and Paul looked at him immediately. "Arya... she...". He couldn't finish forming his words.
"What is happening?"; Kyle growled, frustrated.
"Your highness", three Draeries came in and bowed; "You are needed by the council".
Kyle furrowed his brows and looked at Nathan and Paul; He was confused. The council elders only come during rare occasions, one that seriously needs their attention. "What were you about to say?".
"Arya said thank you and I don't know why. However, there is a message for you". Nathan said and looked directly into Kyle's eyes. "She is here".
"What?". Kyle said confused and later at the direction his friend was facing and saw her standing at the doorway. He immediately ran to hug her while sniffing her smell.
