An Unexpected War by Kylie (read e books online free .TXT) 📖

pointed at me. "Can you move that book for me, Aaron?"
I groaned, walking over to the book she was pointing at. I picked it up, grabbing a pen. On the blank page I wrote:
Delilah, I was TRYING to watch you like a normal ghost creeper, but NO, you had to announce that I was here.
-Aaron.

I walked over to her, placing the book in her lap.
Leilani and Cory gasped.
I opened to my note. Delilah frowned at it.
"That's Aaron all right. But..." Her voice broke. "A-are you dead?" She asked me.
I looked at myself. I was solid.
"Nope. Do I look dead? I thought this shirt made me look hot, not dead." I said, cracking a smile.
Leilani and Cory jumped.
"Did you hear that?" They asked each other.
Aaron. I promise, I'll end this whole thing with Kai, if you end the war. I swear.

I grinned in satisfaction. They'd heard me. But, in a blink of an eye, the scene faded to black.

--KAI'S POV-- (New Pov, Yay)
Delilah called me about 2 hours after we split up. I was at the house, when a chorus of howls caused my skin to crawl. Really, the wolves are HERE? Of course, one is never safe. Even if you're on Kauai. But the howl...It was a mournful

howl. I KNEW it was a risk, stealing Delilah from Santa Cruz, and bringing her to Kauai. The Hawaiian Islands are considered part of the California Wolf Pack. And last time I checked, natural wolves aren't on Kauai. Aaron's looking for Delilah then.
A sentence of howls in Morse code reached my ears. I deciphered it:
.- .- .-. --- -. ... .. -. .--- ..- .-. . -..
"Aaron's injured." I muttered the translation, a triumphant grin on my face.
I threw back my head, attempting to howl back.
--. --- --- -.. --..-- -.-. .- ..- ... . .... . .-.. .-.. -. . ...- . .-. --. . - .... . .-. -- .- - . -... .- -.-. -.- -. --- .-- .-.-.-
Good, cause he'll never get her mate back now.

It meant.

"Hey." Delilah sniffled as she got into the car.
I turned to Delilah.
"You know, huh?" I said.
Delilah nodded. I looked back at the road. The roads were almost deserted, except for the black car in front of us. Huh. Weird.
"That idiot probably hurt himself looking for you, back in Santa Cruz." I said, looking at the green light, yet the car in front of us didn't go. I honked my horn.
"COME ON, DIP SHIT, GREEN MEANS GO!" I yelled.
The car still didn't go. All I wanted to do was get the fuck home.
"Damn it. I'll be right back." I said, stepping out of the car.


--DELILAH'S POV--
I watched Kai as he got out of the car, walking up to the driver seat. He tapped on the driver's window, a scowl on his face. The next thing that happened shocked me senseless.
From the back seat, the door opened, and three teenage guys attacked Kai. Kai fought back with his claws, but was no match for the boys because of one thing: The teens were wolves. They beat him until he dropped, dragging Kai into the car. Two of the wolves stayed in the car, the third one coming up to my car, opening the door.
"Ma'am, its okay, we won't hurt you, but it is crucial that you come with us. If you want to live, of course." The teenage boy said.
Instincts took over and I unbuckled myself, kicking the wolf guy in the groin. And then I ran like a bat out of hell. Before I knew it, I was at the hotel, sobbing in Tom's arms.
"I'm such a wimp!" I cried. "They have Kai, and he's probably DEAD. Its Aaron all over again!"
Tom stroked my cheek.
"It's best that you're safe. Kai wanted you safe no matter what. He'd come back from the dead to keep you safe from the mutts. But right now, you should get something to drink, and go to bed." Tom said.
And that was what I did. When I saw the bedrooms, I froze. There were only two beds, and four people. Would I have to share with a guy?
"Tom's gonna try to share a bed with you. Same with my stupid brother, Ethan. But just go to bed." Kyo snapped.
Huh. So Kyo was related to Ethan...
Once I hit the hotel bed, exhaust hit me. My eyes were open, but I was barely aware of what was going on.
Until someone climbed in with me. I turned, expecting Kai. No, I got Tom.
I found myself snuggling against him, before falling asleep.

Chapter 8

--KAI'S POV--
I awoke to darkness. My whole body stung and screamed in pain, which I ignored. Where was I? Where was Delilah? The scene of who knows how long ago replayed in my head. Wolves. They took me wherever I am, and probably snagged Delilah.
"Delilah!" I cried.
I was rewarded another silence. I whined until a light flooded the room, revealing a familiar form. Agamemnon, the old Alpha.
"Kaito, its so nice to see you," Agamemnon offered me a lopsided smile.
"Cut the crap, Agamemnon, and its just Kai. So, are you going to kill me? Torture me?" I snapped.
Agamemnon smiled.
"I can't do anything. You're thinking of Aaron. He decides the punishment." Agamemnon drawled.
I frowned.
"Ah, yes, your injured Alpha. How is he?" I smirked at the shock on his face.
"Oh, well, he's better now. Been better for a few days. You've been out too long."
I hissed at the news. A few days? By now, I'm sure my father has wasted most of our troops on this war.
"We've already taken most of your population. Might as well give up now." Agamemnon continued.
My shoulders sagged.
"And the rest of my population?"
"Following your orders, which they await."
I looked up at Agamemnon.
"Tell your Alpha I surrender." I declared.

--AARON'S POV--
Shane rushed into my study, panting.
"Message from your father, from our prisoner." Shane announced.
"Yes?" I asked him.
"Kai says-" Shane frowned at his letter. "He says he surrenders."
I shook my head, shocked. Kai? Surrendering? I highly doubt it.
"No, seriously, whats the message?" I chuckled.
Shane frowned.
"That's what it says, Aaron. It even has his signature in blood, and Delilah's last location."
I perked up at Delilah's name. I snatched the letter from Shane. It said Delilah was at the Kauai Sands hotel, with three Sysan males. I growled.
"Always other guys in the way." I muttered.
"Should we send a few troops to receive her?" Shane asked.
I nodded.
"We should."


--DELILAH'S POV--
I awoke to the sound of a laughing child. I forced my eyes open, sitting up on the bed. In front of me, was Calico, being chased by Tom.
"Rawr, I'm gonna get you!" Tom teased, pretending to be winded. "Right after I rest."
Calico giggled, running up to my bed.
"Mommy, mommy, Uncle Tom trying to get me! But I too fast!" she giggled.
Tom came over to me.
"Good morning." He flashed me a smile.
"Heyo. Where are Ethan and Kyo?" I asked.
Tom's smile faded.
"Um...I can't really tell you with C-A-L-I-C-O-S-W-I-F-T in the room." He spelled out Calico's name.
"What in room?" Calico asked.
I just smiled at her.
"Nothing Coco. Are you hungry?" I changed the subject.
"I want ice cream!" she squealed, jumping up and down.
"How about pancakes?" Tom suggested, chuckling.
"Okay!"
With that, Calico ran out of the room, leaving me with Tom.
"Well?" I asked.
"Um...Well, you see...Just in case you forgot, Kai was taken," I nodded. "Ethan and Kyo went looking for them, and...I didn't find their corpses until this morning. I'm so sorry that everyone is dying. But I promised Kai, I'd keep you safe. That's why I switched our hotels, changing the names on the paperwork."
Tears pricked my eyes. Kyo and Ethan were only trying to keep me safe, and they died. Just like my babies, whom I tried to keep safe.
