Chapter 108Alpha Kai's POVI'm so happy that I'm barely controlling myself so that I would not end up scaring Alexa. I'm going to be a father. But Alexa does not look quite happy.“What's wrong?” I ask nervously.“I just was not expecting this,” she replies.“We both were not expecting this. But I'm glad this happened. Aren't you?” I ask incredulously.“How can I be? Have you seen us? We don't have any love or trust between us. My life is messed up. I still have a lot of things I have to do. How are we going to raise a child like this?” she asks, looking stressed and frustrated.I understand how she feels. I was also not expecting a child so soon. I had wanted to win over her love and trust, then, after the war, help her retake what was taken away from her before thinking of starting up a family. But I just could not help myself, and I had sex with her without precaution.I take hold of her hands again.“I know I've treated you terribly in the past and there's nothing I can do or say
Chapter 109Ace's POVI stare at Kai's shocked expression nonchalantly. He asked the question so he should be expecting an answer.“So you love her?” he mutters, gazing at me intently. My eyes meet his gaze without looking away.“I never said anything like that. I was just asking you a question,” I reply. “Speak clearly. Don't play games with me, did something happen that I don't know of?” he asks. I sigh.“We have a war coming up. You should concentrate on that,” I mutter, turning my back and walking away. There's no need to say it in words. He must have already figured out what I meant.I walk to my office dejectedly. It's been a while since I told Alexa that we should stay away from each other, and we haven't seen each since then. We agreed to remain friends, but who am I jesting, I can't remain just friends with her. I've fallen for her too deeply to do that.If only Kai didn't fall for her too, we wouldn't be here right now. I get to my office door. I push it open and step insid
Chapter 110Ace's POV“You had better be saying the truth. If you are lying, so you can get to me, you will not live to see the sunset,” I threaten, staring darkly at her. Deep down, I was really hoping that all that she just said was nothing but a lie.She crosses her arms in front of her with a sigh.“Why would I lie? What can I possibly gain from that? I heard the doctor telling them about the news this morning. It's a fact, and you threatening me won't change anything,” she replies with a smirk.Alexa is with a child? Kai's child? How can that happen? My heart starts palpitating as my hands tremble. “What are you going to do now? Wait until the child is born, so he can call you Uncle Ace as you watch Alexa and Kai living happily with many more children. Are you going to continue being the second option? Second in command to your brother and now second to Alexa? Are you going to be able to live with yourself knowing you never fought for the woman you love and that you've lost her?
Chapter 111Ace's POV“H…how did you find out?” she stutters, clearly shocked. “Nothing can be hidden in this pack house for long, Lexa. You don't want to come with me because you are with Kai's child, right?” I asked hoping she would say no. My eyes dart toward her hand that she absentmindedly placed on her stomach. That little gesture was the only confirmation I needed.“So it's true. How could you, Lexa? You said you didn't love him. You said you are only with him for his power, and now you are with his child? Do my feelings mean nothing to you?” I utter hurtfully.“I didn't mean for any of this to happen. But it's done and there's nothing anyone can do about it,” she said, moving closer to me.“I consider this child a blessing. Look on the brighter side, you are going to become an uncle,” she smiles at me.The word uncle just made me angrier than I already was.“Uncle, huh?" I mutter, pacing around and finally stopping by her bedside table. “Do you think I want to be your child's
Chapter 112Alexa's POVTwo months laterI lay in my bed, rubbing my baby bump slowly. It's still not that obvious when I'm wearing a dress, but my stomach is definitely not as flat as before. The Alpha is laying his head on my chest. I sigh.“Don't you have work to do?” I asked him.“No, even if I had, I won't go. I want to stay here with you,” he mutters softly. He has been this way for the past two months, he wouldn't give me a breathing space and just follow anywhere I'm going.“Luna, time for your medicine,” Kira said as she came in with a bowl.“No, I don't want it,” I reply disgusted. It tastes bitter and disgusting. The smell is horrible. They've been subjecting me to this torture since I became with child.“Common now, Luna, don't be stubborn. It might be bitter, but it's good for you and your child. You will want to give birth to a strong and healthy heir, don't you?” she asks, and I mumble along with her. I know everything by heart.“You've been saying this for the past two
Chapter 113Alpha Kai's POVI stopped in the corridor and asked the chief in a low voice. “Where is Ace?”“I have no idea, Alpha. Nobody has seen him for the past two weeks,” he replies worriedly.“What is that supposed to mean? Nobody has caught sight of him for that long? Isn't he in the pack house? Did you check his office?” I inquire in a serious tone.“We've checked everywhere. He's nowhere to be found. It's like he disappeared without a trace. Nobody saw him leaving,” he answers as we resume walking.This is making me worried. Ace has never left without informing me before. Was he in trouble or did he get hurt? Why would he leave the pack house like this?“I'm sure he's fine, Alpha. Nobody is strong enough to harm him. You know he has been like this since he was a pup, he likes to be alone sometimes,” he comforts me.“He hid from his father and the pack members, yes. But never from me. He used to tell me every single thing,” I mumble, slowing my pace.“He was supposed to train t
Chapter 114Alpha Kai's POV“Alexa,” I mutter, quickly letting go and backing away from Amelie. She coughs when I let go of her throat and chuckles.Alexa stands staring at us with a blank expression. I can't possibly seem to imagine what must be going through her mind right now.“I promise it's not what it looks like,” I said, walking towards her.“It's exactly what it looks like,” Amelie said, crossing her arms over her chest with a smirk. I glare at her.“I know exactly what it looks like,” Alexa finally speaks up. I walked towards her.“You do?” I ask nervously.“A desperate mistress trying to seduce a man who clearly does not want you anymore. How low can you stoop?” Alexa said coldly. The smile on Amelie's face falters. I smile inwardly, happy that she didn't misunderstand.“How dare you!” Amelie yells, glaring at her.“No, how dare you try to seduce him where everybody can clearly see you. You probably thought he would run back to you and I will get upset with him. You thought
Chapter 115Alpha Kai's POVI take the scroll from the chief and read it. I frown at the message.“What does it say?” Alexa asks curiously. They all look curious.“It says see you at the battlefield,” I said, exactly what I read to them.“That's it?” Alexa mutters in disbelief.“Why didn't he just tell you himself?” Deren asks, looking confused.“We've not seen Ace for a while now. It's been more than two months since I last spoke to him,” I reply honestly, and they all gape at me.“That long? Where has he been?” Darcey inquires.“I don't know. I guess we will find out when we see him. Are the barricades up?” I ask the chief.“It has been up since we received their message. There are guards protecting it,” he replies.“We need to hide the women and children somewhere safe in case the pack walls are breached,” I said.“Leave it to me. I know the perfect place,” Alexa answers.“I will help her,” Darcey assures me, and they leave together.“What the fuck is Ace up to? We are at war, and
