King of the Woods

Part 41

Kaaya POV 

Honestly, I just wanted to sleep in today and not worry about a thing, but alas, there's a lot of work to do. Today, I was planning to go to the bakery, but Aakil has been acting way too protective, saying it was too dangerous to go out now that I was pregnant with Rehan on my tail. So, I decided to spend the day with Jay just relaxing and listening to his childish gossip. 

"So, then she touched my hand! Can you believe it? She could have given me cooties!" Jay was currently expressing immense distaste for one of his female classmate's touch. 

"Girls are so weird. I don't even know why she wanted to touch me. She couldn't even look at me! How dare she not even make eye contact with me after touching me!?" I mentally laughed at Jay's naive thinking. The girl obviously had a crush on him and it seems as though he doesn't know it. 

"But, Jay I am a girl..you don't like me?" I say to him with my best pouty face. I pretend to wipe fake tears out of my eyes. I look down at Jay and he looks at me with a guilty expression. 

"Not you Kaaya! It is every girl except you!" Jay spoke stubbornly with a triumphant look on his face. 

"Not even your wonderful sister, Drika?" I ask him. He looks at me with disgust and shakes his head. 

"Drika is another level of girl." I laugh at his statement of his sister. Good thing she wasn't here to hear what he just said. Plus, I didn't want to be between another sibling fight. I sigh and continue to listen to more of Jay's "juicy" gossip which consisted of little Mike putting paint on the poor teacher's seat. 

Rehan POV 

I watch as that annoying kid converse with my Kaaya. I am waiting for the right moment that she leaves to get a snack or something for one moment. In that moment, I will kidnap the kid and take him away. The plan was a quick one so I don't have any idea what I will do if she never leaves the room, but I can stay here all day and night. 

To some it may look like I am stalking them, but I am not stalking per say. I am just keeping my treasure safe. Who knows what that kid will do to her with annoying self? When Kaaya has my child, I will make sure to discipline him or her well enough to not spout out useless blabber. The little brat looks so much like his stupid brother that it makes me almost want to kill him on the spot. Unfortunately, I can't do anything except watch as I don't want want my Kaaya to get the wrong image of me. 

Apparently, my mate's decoy boyfriend went off to do some errands to protect his home that Kaaya and the kid are currently in. He doesn't know that I am already keeping my eyes on them. He is always one step behind- so clueless. 

Currently, my plan to kidnap the kid brother and while Kaaya and Aakil and distraught looking for him, I will kidnap the sister too. With both of them in my hold, Aakil will have no choice, but to give up Kaaya to me to get his family back. I have to admit though, I would be a bit angry if Aakil gave up Kaaya so easily. After all, my treasure is worth more than the lives of 2 nuisances combined. But, I reassure myself saying that she is only mine and I am the only one who will treat her well. 

I take a deep breath as a calm my raging mind. After all, I can't let my emotions get the best of me if I am trying to achieve my goal. 

Kaaya POV 

After listening to Jay talk for over an hour of the lastest gossip in his school, I decide to take a little break. My stomach has been getting bigger over the last couple of weeks. I estimate that the baby will be out in a month, or max 2 months. I have been getting even more hungry, lazy, and tired recently. I want to get up to get a snack, but its just so far. 

"Jay, I am going to get snack. Do you want anything to eat?" 

"Uhh...I want goldfish! And gummy bears! Ooh and chips!" He continues to present different snacks. Does it look like I am a server in a restaurant or something? 

"So, a granola bar it is." I nod to myself and continue walking to the kitchen as I see Jay sulking from the corner of my eye. 

I get 5 granola bars. What? I am hungry. I literally have to eat enough for 2 people. As I am walking back, I hear muffled yelling and drop the bars as I run to see what the commotion is. Panting heavily, I look around for Jay. He's no where to be seen. Tears fill up my eyes as I realize that Rehan probably kidnapped him. 

I reach for my phone on the the couch we were both just sitting on and dial Aakil's number. Hopefully, we won't tear everything down in his rage. 

Aakil POV

I was just patrolling the area for Rehan or any of the dead soldiers to make sure no one from my family got hurt when I got a phone call from my beautiful mate. 

"Baby, what's up?" I ask. 

"Rehan!!!! Jay just got kidnapped! You need come home now!! I am so worried for him and I am afraid he might come after Drika or someone else we know next!" I hear my mate's frantic yelling as I run back home. 

I feel rage seep through me as I realize that my baby brother has just been kidnapped. Even though I knew it wasn't Kaaya's fault, a small part of me regrets leaving them home without any protection. I should have used my powers to put a more protective barrier around them. I curse my stupidity as I look at Kaaya's tear-stricken face. 

I wrap my arms around her and she continues to sob in my chest on how it was all her fault. 

"No, baby. It wasn't your fault. None of us knew that Rehan was going to attack so soon. Remember we thought that he was going to manipulate your parents because he could control the dead? Apparently he did things the old fashioned way without powers." 

I want to go out there and hunt him down, but I knew that I couldn't let my emotions get the best of me, especially since something so valuable was at stake. I knew he wanted Kaaya, but that option was out of the table. I needed to find an alternate plan before he actually did something to my baby brother. 

"Aakil, babe, I t-think I should just go to him and try to convince him to give Jay back! We both know that he's going to hurt him and that he doesn't care about children at all. 

NO! What didn't she understand about her being pregnant first of all, but also just going up to him and giving him what he wants want. I didn't realize that I said it out loud until Kaaya continued to yell at me asking me what else do I think we should do. 

Honestly, I didn't know. I needed time to think. 

Rehan POV 
This kid is going to be the end of me. He currently keeps asking me for random snacks that I didn't have. I swear no one raised him right. In another world, I would probably feel sorry for him, but since he is that son of b*tch's brother, I couldn't care less. 

I am at my limit as he keeps crying asking for his big brother or for Kaaya which makes me even more angry. No one gets to call Kaaya like that except for me. 

I walking up to his pathetic figure sitting on the floor with his hands and feet tied and slap him straight across the face. He stops crying and looks up at me with fear and continues to weep again. I slap him harder this time so that he falls unconscious. 

God, kids are so annoying. 

I am going to discipline my kid so much so that they will not end up like this pathetic excuse of a kid.
