2 Chapter 2

Amelia's POV*

"I can't believe my eyes. KAYLA...Kayla is alive but how is it even possible? We all saw her falling down that...." I blurted out just as they left the room.

When Ashton had first told us about her, I admit that I had tried guessing why she is just called K but I never would have even guessed that it was just a short form of nickname my brother Xavier had for her. It is just a letter K taken from Kay.

"She looked ravishing. Who could think that lying bitch can turn out to be so Deadly Hot? I have to admit that she was very much professional while dealing with us." Rayne gushed out on a tone I could not decipher. Admiration? Lust? What was it that gleamed through Rayne's eyes? Whatever it was, I am sure that it was of no good.

Xavier had not spoken a single word since she went out. He seemed to be in a very deep thought. This reaction was totally understandable. It was hard for him to move on after Kayla had cheated on him. We all had thought his pains had come to an end when she had fallen through that cliff. Xavier had finally moved on when he felt that she had died, and along with her had died her mistake. I also had felt that finally it was going to be all right. But who could have thought that she was alive and was going to show up on our steps fifty years later with secrets of her own?

I mean who the hell survives when one's neck is sliced open and falls through a deep gorge? So yes we had concluded that she died and Xavier was finally free from that lying whore and so were Jason and me.

But I guess the fates had to play the little sick game of their own. So she is back now and is not powerless as last time but holds the rein herself. And guess who has she brought along? Her betrothed, F**K Him!

I wish we had been little more careful and had done double check of her death then today would have never happened. Now we are stuck with that cheating bitch for next two years. If I had my way I would had her kill before she could have shown us, her patronizing attitude.

"She seemed to have grown a backbone, hasn't she? Remember the way she talked to me, it looked like as if she was not even afraid about what would happen to her if we loosed our freaking temper. We have to make sure that slut knows her position." Brianna cried, totally angry about how things turned out.

"That's the problem we can't. We have already signed the deal. Moreover they seem to hold so much power whose limits are still unclear to us. So it is better for us keep quiet and endure even if it is very hard for us to do in this case." Rayne said thoughtfully.

"He is right. It would be foolish for us to do anything now. We have to bear with it" I agreed.

"But what about she told me? She insulted me. She insulted you fiancée baby. You have to do something." Brianna whined looking at Xavier, putting her hands on his chest trying to persuade him. But my brother knew better than thinking of revenge in this complicated situation.

"No Brianna we can't. They are right; we have to have patience before accusing them of anything. It might not be in our favor" Xavier replied cupping his hands to Brianna's cheek to calm her down.

"Don't you have something to say Ashton? After all, it's your fault that we are in this mess. How could you not know that it was Kayla?" Rayne turned to Ashton and raised his eyebrows emphasizing upon the hidden meaning of his words.

"Yes I am responsible for this deal with that group of assassin but don't forget that it was all done because you messed up with my cell. If you hadn't messed up at the first place we wouldn't be here discussing this. As for K's real identity it was information that no one could get their hands upon. Even you know that the royal spies returned empty handed about this matter. So don't try to blame it all on me.' Ashton countered back angrily as it was his loyalty that was questioned.

After this talk an awkward silence settled upon us. We all were lost in our own thoughts about the matter. I guess thinking is only thing we can do now.

Xavier's POV*

I was shocked. In fact, to say that I was only shocked would definitely be an understatement. She has changed drastically in past 50 years. She used wear long skirts but now it was leather jacket and tight jeans that hugged her petite figure. She looked ravishing. It nearly made me lose my control for a moment. Her long brown hair that used to be simply plaited , is now fall little over the shoulder with strips of red and silver running through them. A long jagged scar ran through her neck, stopped just over her collar bone. She was looking deadly mesmerizing. I could not stop myself from staring at her all the time.

When she looked at me through her brown eyes, I felt the tingling sensation of warmth spreading through my whole body nearly making me gasp with pleasure. It had been long time since I have felt that emotion. I thought that I had been able to push such feelings aside but I guess I was wrong. Seeing her made me remember all the emotions I used to feel when I was madly in love with her.

Her personality had changed a lot too. She was no longer a naïve, shy, innocent human girl I once loved but now, she had grown into a hell of confident women. When she spoke she remained unfazed by our presence and just spoke about being humiliated by our undiplomatic treatment. She was right to accuse us about insulting her companions. When Jason interrupted her to ask questions, she brushed him off without even insulting him, which showed that she knew how to handle people. Then, without even acknowledging our presence, she easily excused herself as if she was not at all bothered by it and did not even care.

When I growled at Spencer who called himself her betrothed, she looked at me with her eyebrows raised as if daring me to say anything about it. She looked amused by my reaction. I was not able to control by other sides as they took control all at once. They wanted to take her in their arms and mate her then and there and never let her go. I had to use my full powers to regain control. Even my human side took control. This was the first time he did it in last 50 years. He had stopped talking to me when he had realized that Kayla had died.

When she said that boy Spencer is love of her life, my wolf let out a painful roar while my demon wanted to kill everything in his sight and torture to make that boy scream until he wishes that he was better dead. I felt gut wrenching pain that I cannot even describe that torturous sensation. But then, I controlled myself knowing that Kayla was hoping for such confrontations to cancel the deal with us. I did not want the deal to end as I came to know it is her. I want to know what changed: that made her coldhearted like today.

I know that she had betrayed me and I had to suffer a lot because of her but I want to know the secrets of her work and immortality that she is hiding from us. I wanted to ask her why she did it. Didn't she love me? Why did she play with my feelings? She had left so many questions unanswered. And why is she here now? If it was just to respect Ashton's request, she could have sent her men. We would have understood. What is her ulterior motive? I will find answers to my questions at all cost.
